“Feng Jiao has met with Xing Chengzhu. These two caused trouble here, and we wanted to stop them, but they attacked us directly and assassinated three of us.”
The middle-aged woman saw the approaching person and hurried forward to bow and pay respects, her tone filled with grief and anger.
Apparently it was her people who carried out the surprise attack, but she insisted that Shenyi Kai and Zhu Feichong were the ones who initiated the attack.
Shen Jiankai and Zhu Feichong were suppressed by the powerful pressure, their faces pale, yet they were unable to move.
The two people present were familiar to them, and they were the first city lord of Lianjie City, Xin Can.
Xin Can was also the principal founder of the sect alliance in Daoxiujiang, second only to the alliance leader, Huzi Wuxin.
"What great audacity you have, daring to enforce law in the Lianjie City guild. Which sect are you from?"
Xin Can stared at these two people, though he was asking where they came from, in reality he had already regarded them as dead insects.
Daring to kill here. If he does not make the murderers pay for their crimes, how can he continue to be the city lord?
Shen Jiankai finally felt a slight crack in the space and quickly spoke at the fastest possible speed:
"Xin City Lord, I am Shen Jiankai, and this is my disciple Zhu Feichong. We are all from the Blue Star Sect."
"Because my apprentice has received a promotion card, she won't let us leave and even led an attack with her people, so we only defended ourselves."
Actually, after Shen Jiankai mentioned the Blue Star Sect, Xin Can began to regret stopping these two individuals.
The Blue Star Sect is not terrifying, but the sect master of the Blue Star Sect named Ding Huan is terrifying.
Letting these two go might not be bad for him as the city lord.
Let's say that the laws and rules have not yet been established, and there will be no leniency next time. We'll take them away first and then secretly set them free...
Just as Xin Can was preparing to handle the matter sensibly, a sudden voice echoed:
"What about the Blue Star Sect? Does that mean they can commit murder without consequence?"
Upon hearing these words, Feng Jiao's heart skipped a beat.
She had just prepared to let them go, Shen Jiankai and Zhu Feichong, because of this voice, and she made the decision to keep them. However, this resulted in the death of three people.
"Apparently, it's Lu Huizhu. Long time no see."
Xin Can saw the person approaching and thought to himself, what does this guy mean?
Logically, Lu Yuancun should not interfere with Xin Can's handling of matters in his two-city area.
The arriving person was Lu Yuancun. He also bowed and said seriously:
"City Lord Xin, the Immortality Platform is not an ordinary place. It is a crucial entry point for cultivators in the Daoism realm to ascend to the Immortal Realm."
"If everyone can kill here, even killing people from the Lianjie City Guild, and that would be chaos."
"Will Master Lu is right. If this matter is not handled properly, the consequences will be severe." Following Lu Yuancun, a deep voice rang out.
Xin Can quickly bowed:
"I have just arrived here and am not yet aware of the specific details."
If it were before talking to Huzi Wuxin, Xin Can would have had no doubt in ordering the capture of Shen Jiankai and Zhu Feichong.
But Huzi Wuxin said that Ding Huan is not ordinary, and precisely because of this unordinariness, the sect alliance of the Daoism realm did not participate in the struggle for Zixia Valley.
The result was just as Huzi Wuxin had predicted. Two of the three major sects participating in the struggle for Zixia Valley had their patriarchs killed, and one of the sects was even annihilated.
As for the only surviving Wan Shoumen, it goes without saying that it took a tremendous toll to survive.
To offend such a powerful sect, Xin Can wouldn't do it unless his brain was addled.
"City Lord Xin, what is the matter? I, Lu Yuancun, am willing to step in. I don't believe that even places like the Immortality Platform can allow us to act fairly and justly."
Lu Yuancun added one more sentence with a righteous expression.
Upon hearing Lu Yuancun's words, Xin Can fell into an even deeper silence.
Lu Yuancun is what he is, and everyone knows it. He's not only self-interested, but also a ruthless killer.
If he were to do something for Lianjie City without any selfish motives, pigs wouldn't believe that.
Not only Xin Can, but even Mo Zheng felt that Lu Yuancun's words were somewhat peculiar. Given Lu Yuancun's character, he should not have said something like that.
"Ha ha ha..." A voice of laughter echoed.
Shortly after, Xin Can saw Huzi Wuxin approaching with a woman by his side. Xin Can was overjoyed, as Huzi Wuxin's arrival meant that the situation would be resolved.
Huzi Wuxin bowed.
"The Lord of Mo City, you have been busy these days. Lu Huizhu, what wind brought you here as well?"
As soon as he arrived, he could sense that Lu Yuancun's aura was unstable, definitely indicating that he had sustained injuries.
In the Daoism realm, who could wound Lu Yuancun?
"I have met the Lord of the Potion Association, Huzi Wuxin." Mo Zheng and Lu Yuancun also greeted him.
Huzi Wuxin's cultivation was slightly stronger than theirs, and he was considered the first person on the surface of the Daoism realm. Therefore, basic politeness was still necessary when they met.
Huzi Wuxin asked,
"What happened?"
Lu Yuancun took the initiative to speak up, pointing at Shen Jiankai and Zhu Feichong and said:
"It's because of these two foundation-building cultivators, who are proud and domineering, and who openly killed three foundation-building guards of the Lianjie City guild."
Upon hearing this, Huzi Wuxin felt something was off. Lu Yuancun wasn't a good person, so how could he be so eager to introduce the situation?
Secondly, since the two foundation-building cultivators killed the guards of the Lianjie City guild, these two should have been detained immediately.
Why are these two still standing here unharmed? There must be a problem with this.
However, before Huzi Wuxin could ask Xin Can, the woman who followed him snorted coldly:
"What good is it to keep such a scoundrel who disrupts the order of the two realms? Kill him and be done with it."
Lu Yuancun was overjoyed, as he knew that Ding Huan would be arriving here soon. Therefore, he needed to act quickly.
As long as Huzi Wuxin killed the two disciples of the Blue Star Sect, he would have to stand on Lu Yuancun's side.
"Who is this?" Xin Can asked proactively.
Lu Yuancun was extremely angry. That's why Xin Can is still at the early stage of YuanHun and always takes things slowly.
You, as the City Lord of Lianjie City, should first kill these two insects from the Blue Star Sect and then ask questions.
Huzi Wuxin laughed heartily, completely indifferent to the urgency of the situation, and calmly introduced:
"I will introduce her to everyone. This is Chen Fengqin, a cultivator from the Chanyuan Sect of the Ascension Realm. She is a descendant of Chen Yuanxian, a peerless ground-level cultivator."
Hearing that they were from Chanyuan Sword School, everyone immediately bowed and greeted them.
Not only is Chen Yuanxian from Chanyuan Sword School a ground-level immortal, but even just the name Chanyuan Sword School commands respect, and no one would dare to treat Chen Fengqin with disdain.
"I fully agree with Chen Daoist. Those who disrupt the order of the two realms can be punished by anyone."
In this case, let me, Lu Yuancun, contribute my share of effort for Lianjie City and kill these two ruthless demons."
Lu Yuancun brought up the old topic again. He knew that if Huzi Wuxin were not present, he could deceive Xin Can into ordering the murder.
However, with Huzi Wuxin here, even with Chen Fengqin's support for killing, Huzi Wuxin would definitely not just kill them and be done with it.
Seeing that Lu Yuancun was about to kill, Huzi Wuxin was ready to intervene.
He is not like Xin Can; it doesn't matter if the matter is clarified or not.
What's important is the identity of these two disciples. As long as their identity remains unclear, he will never let anyone die on his territory.
But before he could move, a disdainful voice rang out:
"You have the guts to kill, then let me see you do it."
Lu Yuancun's heart sank, knowing that Ding Huan had arrived.
Huzi Wuxin had never seen Ding Huan, but he also guessed that it must be him who had arrived.
In the entire Daoism realm, there is no one else besides Ding Huan who would dare to speak to Lu Yuancun in such a manner and be so young.
"You, the Blue Star Sect, have always been arrogant and domineering. Why should you only allow your disciples to kill and disturb the rules of the Immortality Platform anywhere they like?"
I, Lu Yuancun, will not tolerate this. Kill them, what's the big deal?"
Lu Yuancun shouted out loudly, taking a step forward with a formidable killing aura.
"Association Master..."
Xin Can saw Lu Yuancun taking the initiative to help Lianjie City and sent a message to Huzi Wuxin privately.
Huzi Wuxin snorted coldly and glared at Xin Can.
Xin Can understood and immediately stopped speaking.
Mo Zheng felt something was off. Just before Lu Yuancun went to find him, he had said that the Blue Star Sect was too domineering. They killed over a thousand people in Zixia Valley and were trying to forcefully take away their land.
It seems that Ding Huan must have been chasing Lu Yuancun here, right?
He and Lu Yuancun are on the same boat, both beneficiaries of Zixia Valley.
If that's the case, should he come out and help?
"Master!" Shen Jiankai and Zhu Feichong, seeing Ding Huan approach, were overjoyed and quickly rushed towards him.
While Shen Jiankai and Zhu Feichong rushed towards Ding Huan, Huzi Wuxin did not move, Xin Can did not move either. The only one who could stop them was Lu Yuancun.
However, Lu Yuancun dared not move. He could feel Ding Huan's killing intent enveloping him, and as soon as he dared to move, the next moment Ding Huan would bring him into the battlefield.
"You, Lu Yuancun, weren't satisfied? Come on. I'll see how far you can run now." Ding Huan swept his hand, and the separation gun unleashed a violent aura of death.
Chen Fengqin, who was about to speak, subconsciously stopped talking.
She couldn't believe her eyes, watching Ding Huan unleash such a fearsome killing power. Even if she tried to attack, she probably would only end up dead.
How could there be such a powerful Virtual Divine cultivator in the Daoism realm?
"You grabbed my Zixia Valley, broke my guard, and killed people indiscriminately. Whether you agree or disagree, you must remember that today is your doom."
Ding Huan took a step forward and swung his separation gun, targeting Lu Yuancun.
"Lord Mo, please lend a hand. This person will not stop here."
Lu Yuancun saw that Chen Fengqin from the Ascension Realm did not intend to fight, and Huzi Wuxin would not move. He quickly called Mo Zheng.
"The Great Master of the Blue Star Sect, we should discuss this matter properly, as before Zixia Valley..."
Ding Huan's separation gun moved without any hesitation. In that moment, Lu Yuancun could only feel an overwhelming wave of deathly aura crushing down upon him.
What is there to talk about? Lu Yuancun will definitely have to kill him today.
Lu Yuancun's heart sank, and he summoned his Duiqian Shovel.
Boom! Violent yuan force exploded at the spot, causing the onlookers to retreat.
Lu Yuancun was already heavily injured, and he had also burned his spiritual blood. At this time, his strength was only half of what it was before.
Even when he was at full strength, he was not a match for Ding Huan. With his current condition, the gap in their strength must be even greater.
Lu Yuancun knew that his only chance for survival was to dodge Ding Huan's attack this time and then beg Chen Fengqin for help.
Spiritual blood was once again burned, and the Duiqian Shovel transformed into two, then three...
A fissure appeared in Ding Huan's killing space. As Lu Yuancun thought he had successfully torn through the killing space of Ding Huan, his divine field was hit by a vortex attack.
It's here again! A sense of despair surged in Lu Yuancun's heart, and he roared furiously:
"Mo Zheng, Zixia Valley is not something I am dealing with alone. You have a stake in it too, why don't you join in?"
