The City Lord did not respond to Bai XI’s words, “Evidence? Then what evidence do you have to prove that you are innocent? If that’s the case, you can stay in the heavenly prison peacefully. If you are really innocent, I will definitely not accuse you wrongly.”
After saying that, he did not bother to waste his breath on them and directly ordered people to bring them away.
Bai Xi’s clenched fists gradually loosened. Not to mention the strength of the group of people brought by the City Lord, even if he was lucky enough to escape with his life, what about the group of senior and junior brothers behind him.
As long as he was around, at least they wouldn’t completely panic. If he escaped as well, the remaining people would be no different from fish meat on a chopping board, and would only be at the mercy of others.
The City Lord and the others seemed to harbor malice towards them. Now, they had an excuse and reason to make things difficult for them. They would not give them any chance to live. When that time came, regardless of whether it was Lin Bai or them, they would not be able to clear their names, they
would not be able to clear their names even if they jumped into the Yellow River.
The City Lord had always been secretly afraid that Bai Xi would suddenly make things difficult for them. However, Bai Xi and the others had given up and did not resist. However, there were quite a number of people who had been shouting that they had been wronged.
He had underestimated this brat. He had never thought that he would have such a temperament and be able to endure it.
The City Lord snorted coldly. He had not been able to find an opportunity to attack. Originally, he had thought that if this group of people resisted, he would be able to kill a few of them to vent his anger. Now, he would let them off for now.
A white light flashed. An elder who looked quite old summoned a compass and shot at Bai Xi and the others. He kept muttering to himself.
The City Lord’s pupils contracted slightly. He saw that the compass was a little unnatural for a moment, but it quickly returned to normal. He pretended to be casual and sighed, “I didn’t expect the Gu family to even take out this thing.”
The elder nodded, “After all, this is an important matter. We don’t dare to be careless. This thing can detect demonic qi.”
The compass was very simple and looked quite old. There were mysterious patterns and ancient words carved on it. It should be from the ancient times, and there were very few similar words nowadays.
It could be said that it had disappeared in the long river of history, and it was very difficult to understand its meaning. One could vaguely sense that it contained an extremely profound mystery, making it difficult to grasp.
In the four directions, the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise were carved with exquisite techniques, guarding the four directions. It could be seen that this magic artifact should have quite a history.
However, at this moment, it seemed to be broken, and there was no movement at all. The old man looked at Bai Xi and the others being taken away, and said with some doubt, “City Lord, we did not detect any demonic qi on them.”
The others could not help but answer, “Could it be that there is something wrong with the compass? It did not respond for a long time.”
The old man was obviously very angry when he heard this, and immediately said, “Even if there is a problem with you, there will not be a problem with it.”
The person who said this was immediately embarrassed and quickly retreated to the side.
The old man explained, “Although its lethality is not very strong, it can accurately detect the location of the demonic qi. As long as someone has come into contact with demonic chi, even if it has only touched a strand of it, it can detect it.”
Since there was no problem with the compass, it proved that Bai Xi and the others had no contact with the demonic chi at all.
Someone couldn’t help but say, “Could it be that they really have been wronged? Ever since Lin Bai entered the City Lord’s manor, they had never seen him again.”
Just as he finished speaking, he felt a cold and gloomy gaze fall on him. He raised his head and looked up. It was actually the City Lord who was staring straight at him. His gaze was devoid of any emotion, scaring him so much that he hurriedly lowered his head, with an embarrassed expression, he said,
“T, Iwas just casually saying it. Everyone, don’t take it to heart.”
“The demon’s methods are endless. Previously, the City Lord and the Vice City Lord were so careful and still fell for it. Maybe he has some special method to avoid it.”
“That’s right. Maybe they are connected, but they used special methods and methods to hide it. That’s why the compass didn’t react and couldn’t be tested.”
The old man was very straightforward. “If there is, then there is. If there isn’t, then there isn’t. No matter how powerful the method is, it can’t hide the existence of demonic chi. Sooner or later, the fox’s tail will be exposed. I think these people might really be innocent.”
“So what if they are really innocent? After all, they are Lin Bai’s senior and junior martial brothers. They are definitely related.”
“Anyway, we are using them as bait. What if Lin Bai is fooled and really comes out? It will also prevent us from searching for him wantonly and causing panic among the people.”
“But isn’t Lin Bai possessed by the demon. How could he care about the lives of these senior and junior martial brothers? He clearly knows that this is a trap. It is impossible for him to jump into the pit.”
“How can we know if we don’t try? We can’t catch him now anyway.”
It was a bit far-fetched to say that. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say. There were many different opinions, and they discussed for a long time, but there was no result.
In the end, the City Lord stood up and said, “Alright, we have to find Lin Bai as soon as possible. Otherwise, we don’t know what he will do.”
After everyone left, no one noticed that the feng shui compass, which had not moved before, was now spinning wildly as if it had been affected by some inexplicable disturbance.
‘The old man frowned. Such a situation had never happened before. Could it be that the group of people had really come into contact with demon qi? But logically speaking, why didn’t the feng shui compass react just now.
At this moment, the needle slowly stopped. If anyone was careful, they would have noticed that the position where it stopped was the position where the City Lord had stood. Unfortunately, no one noticed anything on the compass..
