C651 Hiding from the Public
Sima Huangtian didn't say anything when he saw Lin Yi. Dancheng lifted the white cloth and signaled Lin Yi to check it out. Lin Yi walked forward and found that the man on the ground was almost skin and bones.
"This... this is losing blood energy?" Lin Yi was shocked. He had been here for so long and finally saw this vicious method again.
"Hmm?" Lin Yi suddenly found the heart of the deceased beating. Lin Yi immediately rushed forward and grabbed his wrist. Lin Yi found that this person had a faint pulse.
Lin Yi wanted to tell everyone that the man was not dead yet. Suddenly, Lin Yi saw a faint smile on Sima Huangtian's face. Lin Yi immediately gave up on that idea.
"How is it? Is there any conclusion?" Dancheng saw Lin Yi staring blankly and immediately reminded him.
Only then did Lin Yi come to his senses and said, "The blood energy in his body has been severely lost. It seems like someone has absorbed his blood energy, causing him to become like this."
As Lin Yi spoke, he quietly took out a silver needle and stabbed it into the dried corpse's body without anyone noticing.
"Humph! I didn't expect that someone would provoke me into coming home. It seems like you four have a very good life. From tomorrow onwards, all of you will guard the border for me." The City Lord's voice was like a loud bell, causing the four Great General to lose his temper. All of them had no choice but to accept the order and leave.
"Although Qingcheng is dead, we can't conduct his funeral on a grand scale. If not, people will gossip about him. I'll leave Dancheng to you. Make sure you don't leave any traces behind. " After saying that, Sima Huangtian glanced at Lin Yi.
Dancheng seemed to be afraid that Sima Huangtian would kill him to silence him, so he immediately said, "City Lord, don't worry. Lin Yi won't tell anyone. I promise you with my head."
Sima Huangtian didn't say anything when he heard what Dancheng said. Instead, he turned around and ignored him.
"What a ruthless father. His son was buried just like that. He doesn't seem to feel any pain at all." Lin Yi couldn't help but feel somewhat dissatisfied in his heart. Although he said that a tiger wouldn't eat its son, it still made people feel a chill down their spine.
After that, Lin Yi saw Dancheng carrying the person on the ground on his shoulder. Lin Yi immediately followed after him when he saw this. Lin Yi wanted to tell Dancheng that this man wasn't dead, but he was also afraid that Dancheng was the City Lord's man. However, it wouldn't be good for Sima Qingcheng and himself.
Dancheng walked in front, and Lin Yi followed him to a very dilapidated temple. After putting Sima Qingcheng down, Dancheng looked at Lin Yi cautiously. After that, he heard him say, "Lin Yi, you know that Qingcheng isn't dead, right? You should have seen it. "
Lin Yi was completely stunned when he heard this. What was going on? Dancheng actually knew that Sima Qingcheng wasn't dead. Then, what was going on just now?
In Lin Yi's astonishment, Dancheng took out a pill from somewhere. Lin Yi could feel a majestic life force from it. After that, he saw Dancheng feed the pill into Sima Qingcheng's mouth. After that, Lin Yi saw Sima Qingcheng's shriveled body gradually swelling up.
"Why haven't you taken out the silver needle yet?" Dancheng looked at Lin Yi and said. Only then did Lin Yi react and immediately took out the silver needles.
Dancheng saw Lin Yi's confused expression. Dancheng was silent as if he was hesitating whether he should tell Lin Yi. In the end, Dancheng made up his mind to tell Lin Yi. "Lin Yi, do you believe it? The current city lord is not real, but fake. "
"What? Fake?" Although Lin Yi also felt that it was fake, he had always thought that it was just his own idea. He never thought that even Dancheng would say the same thing.
"That's right. The current City Lord is fake. I believe you have also seen through it. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so cruel to his own son. I'm not the only one who knows this. However, the current City Lord was too powerful. Therefore, we can't act rashly now. "
"What about the real city lord?" Lin Yi suddenly remembered the Sima Huangtian he saw in the deep forest.
"Who knows about the real city lord? Maybe he's already dead." The loneliness in Dancheng's eyes made Lin Yi feel sour in his heart.
"Why did he kill Sima Qingcheng?" Lin Yi continued asking.
"That's because Qingcheng found out about his secret, that's why they sought revenge."
Only now did Lin Yi understand that Dancheng had always known that Sima Huangtian was a fake. Sima Qingcheng didn't know about it until a few days ago, when he found out about the death Qi in Sima Huangtian's body. Later on, Sima Qingcheng was killed, but later on, Dancheng arrived. However, Sima Qingcheng was now at the end of his rope. Dancheng had used his own means to save Sima Qingcheng's life. Thus, he faked his death.
Later on, Dancheng felt that it was not safe. He knew that Lin Yi would not allow any life to be lost. Therefore, he found Lin Yi and exposed some information to him when he was investigating. He would let him know that Sima Qingcheng was not dead, which would cause Lin Yi to secretly use acupuncture.
In fact, Dancheng was also betting that if Lin Yi told him that Sima Qingcheng wasn't dead, the whole plan would collapse. Fortunately, Lin Yi had noticed that something was wrong with Sima Huangtian.
"Senior, aren't you afraid that I will ruin your plan?" He was more concerned about this Lin Yi.
"Hehe, I'm afraid, but what's the use of being afraid? If Sima Huangtian had found out about it, he wouldn't have been able to escape death. I might as well take a gamble, but I won't be able to hide it from you any longer. I can't control my means for too long, but fortunately, you are very smart. I didn't expose it. " Dancheng said with a gratified expression.
"Am I still alive?" At this moment, Lin Yi heard a weak voice. Lin Yi turned his head and found that it was Sima Qingcheng who had woken up. At this time, he was no longer like a dried corpse. He looked much more normal, but his face was still very pale.
"Young master, it's alright. We have succeeded." Dancheng comforted him.
"En? No, Senior, did you inform the others to come here?" Suddenly, Lin Yi's facial expression changed. He looked at Dancheng and asked.
"No, why?" Dancheng was puzzled as to why Lin Yi would ask such a question.
"Let's go! A large group of people are coming here." After seeing Lin Yi's expression change drastically, Dancheng knew that something must have happened.
