The system favors me so much, I get eight meals a day while escaping from famine

The woman spoke in a low voice, "I'm Jinxia, ​​I know something is wrong with the City Lord's Mansion."

Jiang Qingyi's eyes flashed when she heard this. She was about to ask something when the system's voice rang in her mind.

[Host, there is a new mission! ]

【tell me the story. 】

[Host, please help Jinxia to take revenge. You will be rewarded with the sound transmission skill after completing the task. 】

【Voice transmission? Explain.】

[Voice transmission technique, the distance of voice transmission depends on the user's strength, and it allows secret communication with teammates without being discovered by others~]

[I see. Please take it.]

[Okay, the mission has been accepted, please complete it as soon as possible. 】

Seeing that the people in front of her only looked at her without reacting, Jin Xia spoke anxiously, "City Lord Jia colluded with the demons a long time ago!"

These words made Ji Fusang and the others' expressions change again and again.

Jiang Qingyi remained calm. Although she had decided to help the woman in front of her to take revenge, she would not rush to do it as it would make her seem like she had ulterior motives.

Ji Fusang and the others still didn't speak, but Jiang Qingyi took a step forward and said, "Miss Jinxia, ​​can you please spare me a moment to talk?"

Jin Xia looked at Ji Fusang and the others, as if considering whether Jiang Qingyi was the one among them who could make the decision.

Jiang Qingyi asked again, "Aren't you leaving?"

Jinxia gritted her teeth and decided to take a gamble, "Please follow me."

Mu Yu pulled Jiang Qingyi's sleeve and gave her a disapproving look.

Jiang Qingyi gave her a reassuring look and then followed Jinxia out.

Ji Fusang and his companions had no choice but to follow.

Jiang Qingyi and her group followed Jinxia to the most inconspicuous and dilapidated house in the city.

Jinxia opened the door and invited Jiang Qingyi and others in.

There is a huge difference between the inside and outside of the house. Although the inside is shabby, it is kept extremely clean.

Jinxia invited Jiang Qingyi and the others to sit down. Just as she was about to pour some water, she was interrupted by Jiang Qingyi, "Miss Jinxia, ​​if you have something to say, just say it."

Jinxia paused for a moment, then took a stool and sat in front of Jiang Qingyi and the others.

"I know you've been investigating the demons in the city lately, but you can't find anything."

Jiang Qingyi raised her eyebrows, "Why do you say that?"

"City Lord Jia made a deal with the demons a long time ago. To be more precise, he has been possessed by the demons for a long time."

Ji Fusang frowned, "How did Miss Jinxia know about such a secret matter?"

Jin Xia took off the veil on her face and said, "Because I am his second wife, I was killed because I knew his secret, but I used a secret method to survive."

Mu Yu gasped when he saw Jin Xia's face, "Your face."

Jin Xia said calmly, "It was destroyed by that beast with poison, but it's not a big deal."

Jiang Qingyi asked again, "So what do you want to do by coming to us?"

Jinxia said simply, "Cooperate! I want him to die."

Ling Yue asked back, "What do you have that is worthy of our trust? After all, City Lord Jia is the lord of the city."

Jinxia gritted her teeth, "I can swear."

Jiang Qingyi interrupted her attempt to swear, "Miss Jinxia, ​​no need, I believe you."

Jin Xia had no choice but to seek out Jiang Qingyi and the others. She didn't have much time left to live, and it was a slim hope for her to find someone to cooperate with her for revenge.

At least she thought that she had taken a small step towards success when Jiang Qingyi came here with her.

Hearing Jiang Qingyi's words, Jinxia forced a smile and then swore an oath.

Jiang Qingyi had no time to stop it, and watched the light of the oath fall at her feet.

In the world of immortal cultivation, asking people to swear is a very humiliating act. After all, things that are certified by the way of heaven may come true at any time, so basically all cultivators will not swear easily.

Ling Yue saw Jin Xia swearing with a little shock on her face, but then she became calm again.

After the oath, Ji Fusang broke the quiet atmosphere, "Miss Jinxia, ​​you said that City Lord Jia made a deal with the demons, what is the specific content?"

Because she had sworn an oath, Jin Xia didn't mind telling this story. After all, she just wanted Ji Fusang and his group to believe it.

"What else could this be? The beast made deals with the demons for all kinds of natural treasures, rare materials, elixirs, and magical treasures. In short, it was all kinds of resources that could be used for cultivation. Most importantly, he would regularly provide the demons with human cultivators."

Jiang Qingyi frowned slightly when she heard her last sentence, "Providing human monks to the demons? What does that mean?"

Jin Xia's eyes fell on Jiang Qingyi. "The reason why the demons are called demons is because they have no morals and no bottom line. They will use secret methods to absorb the spiritual power in the bodies of cultivators and transform it into their own power. In layman's terms, they are evil cultivators. They don't follow the normal path of cultivation."

"They are all demons, so it is understandable that they would do such things to harm human monks, but what can City Lord Jia get from making a deal with them?" Jiang Qingyi asked again.

"He did this not only for himself, but also for his only son, Jia San."

Ji Fusang asked in confusion, "Why is that? Jia San seems to be fine."

Jin Xia sneered, "Jia San's life was also saved by that demon, otherwise he would not have lived to be eight years old like the previous two, because City Lord Jia was cursed!"

Jiang Qingyi's expression kept changing back and forth. She really didn't expect that just by investigating the affairs of the demon clan, she would hear so many gossips related to City Lord Jia. She felt like she was going to choke on these gossips!

"What's the curse?" This time it was Ling Yue who asked.

Jin Xia shook her head. "I don't know the content of this curse. I only know it is a curse. He brought it out from the secret realm."

Jiang Qingyi listened to the information given by Jinxia and did not speak for a long time.

Finally, she suddenly felt something was wrong. "Miss Jinxia, ​​why did you choose to come to us at this time? Didn't you have a better choice before?"

Jin Xia's eyes flickered slightly, and a hint of guilt appeared on her face.

Ji Fusang, who had been paying attention to her, saw this expression and his face turned serious. "What is your purpose?"

The others also showed vigilant expressions.

Jin Xia smiled bitterly, "I just want revenge. Three days from now, he and the demons will meet every few years. At that time, the demon will stay in the City Lord's Mansion, and he will provide the other party with human monks at that time."

Jiang Qingyi still didn't understand. "Since you know so much, why don't you spread this matter? If you are involved with the demons, everyone will want to kill you. By then, your enemies won't be able to survive."

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't."

Jiang Qingyi asked bluntly, "What are you worried about? Is there anyone in this city who is very important to you?"

Jinxia remained silent.

Jiang Qingyi boldly guessed, "Is it your child?"

Jinxia looked at Jiang Qingyi and still didn't say anything.

Jiang Qingyi understood, this reaction was probably real.

"Wait a minute, you said that City Lord Jia colluded with the demons a long time ago, then how did these demons appear? Could it be that the demons were not completely sealed?" Mu Yu discovered the strangeness of the whole thing.
