Chapter 170 Lu Yuxiang Slanders
Just as Lu Zhiheng was deep in thought, Lu Yuxiang stepped into the hall and shouted.
“Mayor, I have sent someone to gather some information. I feel that it is rather suspicious, but I can’t be sure, so I came to discuss it with you.”
Lu Yuxiang’s eyes were anxious as he said this, and there was some sadness in his words.
Lu Zhiheng’s thoughts were interrupted. When he saw Lu Yuxiang walk in, he was a little impatient and was about to open his mouth to rebuke him.
Lu Yuxiang spoke first.
“The information that I have gathered is about the attack on the eastern district.”
The impatience on Lu Zhiheng’s face disappeared completely.
He was eager to know the information that Lu Yuxiang was talking about.
“Tell me quickly!”
Lu Yuxiang said.
“I sent someone to secretly investigate the city today to see if there were any suspicious people.”
“Then, I found that two people had been investigating the city today to find out the background of our Yellow Clouds City.”
“Although the two of them acted separately, I found out that the two of them walked into the same inn in the end.”
Lu Zhiheng quickly asked.
“Which inn did they enter!”
When Lu Yuxiang mentioned the name of the inn, the guard who was still standing at the side was stunned.
Then, the guard who came back to report to Lu Yuxiang said.
“May I ask, Sect Master Lu, are the two of them an old man and a middle-aged man?”
Lu Yuxiang nodded in surprise.
Then, the two of them confirmed the appearance of the two people, their clothes, and other details, and the guard said to Lu Zhiheng, who was sitting on the main seat.
“Mayor, the two people that Sect Master Lu described are with the person that you asked us to follow in secret.”
Lu Zhiheng had some guesses as he listened to the conversation between the two people in the hall.
However, when he heard that the attendant had confirmed it, Lu Zhiheng was still a little surprised.
After thinking for a moment, he gave the order to inform the Red Robe Gang and the Heaven’s Gate Sect.
To go to the inn and take down the person first.
After saying that, Lu Zhiheng hurried out of the hall and asked Lu Yuxiang to follow him.
When Lu Yuxiang followed behind Lu Zhiheng, he had an evil smile on his face.
It was true that he had sent his men to investigate this matter.
However, he wasn’t investigating without a purpose. But it was after he had seen Jiang Ping.
He immediately sent people to carefully investigate Jiang Ping’s background, when he had entered the city, and who was with him.
Therefore, Lu Yuxiang just happened to run into Lei Jingyun and Qiu Chi, who were out to scout for news.
Ever since Jiang Ping stepped into the hall of the mayor’s mansion and released his own cultivation.
Lu Yuxiang came up with a good plan.
A good plan to find a scapegoat.
He used the sudden appearance of Jiang Ping’s group to cover himself up. Just in case the mayor’s mansion found out that he was the real culprit of the attack in the eastern district.
Lu Yuxiang knew the mayor’s personality very well.
He was cautious, careful, and would rather kill the wrong person than let them go.
That was why Lu Zhiheng wanted to go to the inn to capture Jiang Ping.
Before Lu Yuxiang left the hall, he turned around and looked at the seat that Lu Zhiheng had sat on.
He thought to himself that when he sat in that seat in the future, he would definitely change that chair to something more imposing
The attack not long ago was actually intentional by Lu Yuxiang.
Because of his ambition, he did not want to be suppressed by the mayor’s mansion.
He also did not want to fight with the Red Robe Gang’s sect master all day long.
Hence, he obtained a cultivation method that could absorb the spiritual Qi in a person’s body to increase his own cultivation by chance.
And it did not have any side effects.
The people that were born in this world, regardless of whether they could cultivate or not, their bodies would carry a trace of spiritual Qi essence.
This cultivation method was able to purely absorb the spiritual energy essence. The more a person could not cultivate, the more improvements it would have for the cultivation method and their own bodies.
Therefore, under the drive of profit, this attack happened.
Lu Yuxiang had already absorbed the essence into his sea of Qi. There was no need for him to refine it on his own.
The cultivation method in his body would operate on its own and then absorb all the spiritual energy in his sea of Qi.
In less than a day, the spiritual energy in his body would be completely refined. Therefore, he only needed to divert the attention of the mayor’s mansion to another place.
As long as nothing went wrong, the person who would sit in that position and show off in two days would no longer be Lu Zhiheng.
It would be him, Lu Yuxiang.
The more he thought about it, the more excited Lu Yuxiang was. He almost laughed out loud.
Soon, the Heaven’s Gate Sect and the Red Robe Gang were on their way.
Lu Zhiheng thought about it and decided to wait for them.
After all, if it was a life-or-death duel, it would not be a problem to deal with one initial stage earth immortal realm with Lu Zhiheng and Lu Yuxiang around.
However, if Jiang Ping, who was at the initial stage earth immortal realm, insisted on running away, it would be a headache for him when everyone was in the same realm.
Lu Zhiheng and Lu Yuxiang were waiting at the door.
When the sect master of the Red Robe Gang, Zhou Nan, and the leader of the Heaven’s Gate Sect, Wang Xin, arrived.
Lu Zhiheng told them the reason why he had summoned them.
Zhou Nan was a little hesitant.
“Mayor, isn’t this a little too casual?”
After saying that, he looked at Lu Yuxiang with a puzzled look.
When Lu Yuxiang saw Zhou Nan looking at him, he was a little afraid that he had been targeted.
So, he took the opportunity when Zhou Nan didn’t say anything else.
He spoke first. “Mayor, how can this be considered casual?”
“If Jiang Ping is really the mastermind behind the scenes, then wouldn’t we give him a chance to escape?”
“Don’t forget, he had people to investigate the background of our Yellow Clouds City today. He was clearly looking for an opportunity to escape.”
“Besides, even if the murderer isn’t him, we can just apologize to him. With your cultivation, I don’t believe that he would dare to disobey.”
Lu Zhiheng, who had been manipulated by Lu Yuxiang once again, did not say anything more.
He immediately ordered the people to rush to the inn.
Zhou Nan saw that Lu Yuxiang was targeting him again, so he glared at him.
Lu Yuxiang ignored him and left without even looking at Zhou Nan.
After the old Taoist priest returned to his room from the eastern district, he had a feeling that something was going to happen.
So he stretched out his left hand and counted with his fingers.
The old Taoist priest who had obtained the result of the divination frowned, turned around, and left the room, then pushed open the door of the next room.
At this time, Jiang Ping was worried about his journey.
Seeing an old man walk into his room without knocking on the door.
Jiang Ping was a little surprised and didn’t know what to do.
He opened his mouth and asked.
“Who are you, Sir?”
The old Taoist priest didn’t answer his question directly. Instead, he sat down by himself, then picked up the tea on the table and drank it…
