Now, Lin Qi finally understood why Shi Po was hesitant and refused to tell the truth when he asked him about his true purpose.

Moreover, Shi Po only said that after catching the spirit-shattering demon cub, he would lend him his head and go to the military attache's palace to receive the reward, which was used to hide his true intention.

This is obviously not true.

Why did Shi Po act secretly in the refining shop before and refused to let the military attache know?

All the secrets must be related to his ability to absorb demonic energy.

Why was Shi Po able to sense the approximate location of the demon cub without using any mysterious weapon at all, which was more accurate than a warrior like Ma Di who relied on the blue magic weapon?

The more critical point is that the demon bastard did not release the demonic energy, and Shi Po could sense it.

Why did Shi Po not hesitate to make an oath in order to cooperate with him before: If you and Jin Guoke feel that I am behaving inappropriately during this trip, you can kill me in the refining shop!

All of this is related to the existence of demonic energy, and to be more precise, it is related to the demon cub in the broken spirit realm!

Shi Po was obviously able to cultivate with the help of demon energy, which was the fundamental reason why he was able to kill many demon cubs and ascend to three minor realms in a row within one year.

This is why Shi Po has repeatedly asked Lin Qi to promise not to forget his previous promise to him:

If you encounter a demon kid in the Broken Spirit Realm, it's best to let him deal with it.

In the military attache's palace, the military attache could catch the spirit-shattering demon cub.

But it was not Shi Po's turn to take action himself, so he went to the refinery alone to find out the news.

By chance, he learned that Lin Qi wanted to take action against the Sun Mansion. In order to get a chance to kill the demon cub in the Broken Spirit Realm, Shi Po confided some secrets to Lin Qi and chose to cooperate with Lin Qi.

What Shi Po showed was that he simply wanted to kill this spirit-shattering demon bastard himself, which was considered human nature.

For ordinary people, such a trivial matter would definitely not doubt that Ishi Po's purpose was related to demonic energy.

This can be seen from the attitudes of Jin Guoke and Jin Hongfei towards Shi Po being able to leave Qi Feng's body.

But Lin Qi is different. From the early stage of awakening to the peak of awakening, he is inseparable from the acquisition of demonic energy!

Now it was discovered that Qi Feng's body contained very little demonic energy, so small that even the system could not detect it.

All the problems point to Shi Po.

Lin Qi pursed his lips and looked at Shi Po with a hint of joy in his eyes.

As for why he was so happy after losing all the demonic energy of a broken spirit realm demon cub?

First, Shi Po tried to cover it up in every possible way, but he also discovered his secret.

Secondly, since Shi Po is interested in demonic energy, he will not give up easily on the next action against Sun Mansion, and he can get a reliable ally.

Only certain interests can closely connect two people with different thoughts.

Thirdly, Shi Po's cultivation speed in absorbing demonic energy is definitely not as fast as his own. It can be seen from their respective cultivation speeds that there are great limitations.

Otherwise, Shi Po would have been invincible long ago, and there would be no need to participate in the selection meeting...

During this period of time, Lin Qi just listened to the heated discussion between Shi Po and Jin Guoke without interrupting. His attitude towards Shi Po also changed drastically.

Of course, Lin Qi would not explain these secret things openly.

If he said it out loud, it would also make Shi Po feel disgusted, which would be detrimental to future cooperation.

From now on, just keep an eye on it.

Lin Qi waited for a while before speaking out: "Last time the two of us entered the smelting room, did you sense the presence of Yu Feibin, the incense master of Tianzhu Hall?"

Shi Po shook his head and said, "No!"

After hearing this, Lin Qi didn't say much.

At this time, Jin Guoke interjected: "You said before that the royal family is dissatisfied with the Sun Mansion. Is this the only way to find out the secret of the smelting room from him?"

"I haven't thought of any other way yet!" Lin Qi replied and continued: "Shi Po, can you step over Commander Ma Di and see the military attache town leader?"

Shi Po smiled bitterly and said: "No! Unless there is a special order, you can see the Lord Attaché and Town Master, otherwise there is no other way.

In the past two days, the Lord Attaché Town Master has been busy with the selection meeting.

Only by handing over Qi Feng's body to the military attache's office can we attract the attention of the Lord of the Town."

After saying this, Shi Po's face twitched slightly, and there was something strange about his whole person.

He hurriedly held the black knife with one hand, glanced at the three of them, and said with a hint of apology: "I have something urgent and I need to leave right away!

If you have made a plan, just let me know!"

After that, Shi Po left Jin Mansion in a hurry.

Jin Guoke and Jin Hongfei looked at each other, wondering what Shi Po would do next.

It was obviously fine just now...

Lin Qi was not too surprised. Seeing Shi Po's panicked steps, the suspicion in his heart became more certain.

Later, Lin Qi discussed with the Jin family and his son for a while, and finally decided to start with the royal family.

As for Zhou Fu, after the Jin family and his son left the darkroom, Lin Qi casually killed him.

A trace of demonic energy gushed out from Zhou Fu's body. Lin Qi's face changed slightly, and he could clearly feel a cold aura.

Along with it, a familiar voice sounded in my ears:

"The escaping demonic energy has been detected. Will the host absorb it?"

Lin Qi looked calm and said silently: "Absorb!"

When the cold breath disappeared, he thought:

Life energy:118

Aura: 120/120 Xuan(+)

Telekinesis: 4/4 Yuan (+)

Extra: Ingestion (life between life and death will release life energy)

"Increased one hundred points of life energy..." Lin Qi licked his lips, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Afterwards, Lin Qi put away his thoughts and left the darkroom.

The gate of Jin Mansion.

When Lin Qi left, he specifically asked Jin Hongfei to pay attention to the changes in the Sun family and the Pan family, and when the royal family would go to Wanhua Tower again.

Jin Guoke was sitting in a wheelchair, glanced at Lin Qi who was leaving, and said to Jin Hongfei: "Hong Fei, we must hurry up to handle the things Lin Qi has asked.

My father feels that the moment of decisive battle with Sun Mansion is coming soon!"

Jin Hongfei nodded and whispered: "Yes! Father!"

At the same time, in the study room of Sun Mansion.

The royal family and several Sun Mansion guards stood in front of Sun Tiancheng late at night, looking nervous and not daring to speak at all.

Sun Tiancheng saw everyone bowing their heads in silence, with a hint of viciousness in his eyes, and said: "You bunch of trash, you haven't even identified a few black sword warriors in a whole day.

And even including Shi Po, your heads will be eaten by dogs!"

From Sun Tiancheng's point of view, if Shi Po was the one who entered the refining shop, the Military Attaché Mansion would definitely know the news. How could it make things easier for the Sun Mansion?

But several warriors were somewhat puzzled by Sun Tiancheng's anger:

"Isn't Shi Po always carrying a black sword on his back? You said you were looking for a black sword warrior. Why don't you admit it now?"

Except for the royal family, the rest of the warriors did not know the inside story, but the royal family did not dare to say anything, and he did not find any useful information.

After Sun Tiancheng cursed for a while, the resentment on his face became less angry, he waved his hand and said: "Go away!"

Everyone was submissive, responded respectfully, and left one after another.

Sun Tiancheng was the only one left in the antique study room.

At this time, Sun Tiancheng held a writing brush in his hand, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes: "A whole day has passed, and there has been no change in the forces targeting the Sun Mansion.

Yu Feibin really did not lie to me, Qi Feng and Zhou Fu did not reveal some important clues..."

Sun Tiancheng picked up the pen and wrote for a while, then put it into a thin wooden tube. After inputting some spiritual energy, he tapped it under the desk a few times.
