The old Taoist priest clearly recognized the man and woman.
One of these two is Liu, the young city lord of Daye City, who cultivates in the Ye family.
The young woman was a cultivator from the Ye family.
The male cultivator whispered to the female cultivator from the Ye family beside him, "A cultivator who can fly on a sword must be at least a Foundation Establishment cultivator, right? What should we do? Should we ask him for help, Sister Ye Chuchu?"
Upon hearing the young man's words, the female cultivator Ye Chuchu lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said:
"Let's go, let's pay our respects to this Foundation Establishment realm senior first! Experts of this level are among the best in our Ye family. Don't you agree, Senior Brother Liu?"
After speaking to the man beside her, Ye Chuchu stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Lu Xuan: "Senior, I am Ye Chuchu, a member of the Ye family of Daye City, a cultivator at the mid-stage of Qi Refining. I hope you will lend a hand and do your best to kill that demonic beast. We can give you one thousand taels of the ten thousand taels of silver we obtain!"
The city lord Liu, standing nearby, was displeased. "What? So much? A thousand taels? Sister Ye Chuchu, have you thought this through? We need this silver to buy a thousand-year-old ginseng and refine Qi-gathering powder! What will we do if we give it to others? We also need to give these martial arts masters several hundred taels of silver."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chuchu's expression turned displeased, and she said:
"What, young city lord? Don't you want to save your own sister? Have you forgotten the instructions your father, City Lord Liu, gave you?"
"Explain?"
"Heh," the man surnamed Liu sneered.
"I will be the city lord of Daye City sooner or later, so why should I give him an explanation?"
I heard them arguing.
Lu Xuan ignored them.
He spoke directly to the old Taoist priest Wuji beside him:
"Since someone wants to deal with this black rat demon, I won't waste any more time. Farewell."
After saying that, Lu Xuan left Daye Mountain without looking back, heading towards Daye City.
"Senior, please wait."
Are you going to stand by and watch someone die?
"Oh? Are you threatening me?" Lu Xuan turned around and said calmly, his expression cold.
"No, senior, you misunderstand. But aren't we cultivators supposed to slay demons and eliminate evil?"
"On what grounds?"
Ye Chuchu still wanted to be clever and try to use sweet words and clever talk to kidnap Lu Xuan.
However, Lu Xuan didn't want to pay any attention to her.
Then Young Master Liu also chimed in:
"Senior, I am Liu Handao, the young city lord of Daye City. My father is the city lord of Daye City. Although he has no cultivation, he has more than 10,000 soldiers under his command and a Qi Refining late-stage immortal master as his retainer!"
"Then why doesn't he make a move?" Lu Xuan asked jokingly.
Young Master Liu said smugly:
"Master Baili is at the late stage of Qi Refining. He is the famous Wuji Temple's eldest disciple, the Wuji True Man. Although he betrayed Wuji Temple back then, his cultivation is extremely powerful."
Lu Xuan heard what Young City Lord Liu said.
He looked at the old Taoist priest and asked, "Is what he said true?"
Wuji Laodao chuckled awkwardly, "This rebellious disciple stole my Foundation Establishment Pill back then, preventing me from cultivating. Later, I ambushed him from behind and severely injured him, so he could no longer establish his foundation and could only go to Daye City to commit evil deeds. I'm truly sorry to have made you laugh, Senior Lu."
"His name is Baili Ren!"
The old Taoist priest looked at the young city lord opposite him, his expression turning murderous, and coldly shouted:
"Summon that traitor to see me!"
"How dare you offend our Immortal Lu Shang! You are truly courting death."
"Huh? You are Wuji Zhenren?" Young City Lord Liu Handao was extremely shocked.
"Nonsense! Your father begged me to take him as a disciple back then, and I made him kneel from the foot of the mountain to the top. Unfortunately, your father didn't have a single spiritual root and couldn't cultivate at all. He was even worse than me, so I didn't take him as a disciple. You should know that even your father, City Lord Liu, had to be respectful to me! And now you dare to be so insolent in front of me."
The old Taoist priest Wuji continued to angrily rebuke Young Master Liu:
"It's no big deal if you offend me, but if you offend my great benefactor, Senior Lu, you're in for a world of trouble!"
"What? You have to call Master Wuji 'senior'? Is this Senior Lu really a Foundation Establishment Immortal?"
"Hmph, you're so condescending!"
The old Taoist priest unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, slapping the young city lord Liu in front of him.
"Summon your father, Liu Erbazi, to see me!"
The old Taoist priest gave a stern shout:
"And that little girl from the Ye family, do you think you're so smart? You even dared to scheme against Senior Lu, you're incredibly audacious!"
"Summon your Ye family patriarch to see me. Out of respect for your Ye family ancestor, I will spare you from punishment."
"Yes, Master."
Ye Chuchu and Young City Lord Ye were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they quickly went back to call their elders.
With their mid-stage Qi Refining realm, they were neither able to deal with the black rat demon before them nor could they disobey the words of this Wuji True Man.
About a few hours later.
Two middle-aged men arrived late.
"Master Wuji, why did you beat my son? Shouldn't you give this clan leader an explanation?"
"Another one to explain himself?" Lu Xuan almost burst out laughing when he saw this.
"Who are you? I've heard you're a Foundation Establishment senior, so please take my move first." The speaker was none other than Ye Wushuang, the patriarch of the Ye family! He was at the peak of the late Qi Refining stage! In the entire Ye family of Daye City, apart from the Ye family patriarch, he was the one with the highest cultivation.
Ye Wushuang, the patriarch of the Ye family, summoned a top-grade magic weapon, a spear:
"Do you know what the character 'Ye' in Daye City means? With my top-grade magic weapon and my fifty years of magical power, can you withstand it?"
"A top-grade magic weapon? It truly makes me feel...laughable!"
With a flick of his finger, Lu Xuan unleashed a fiery blade technique, and with a crackling sound, Ye Wushuang's top-grade magic weapon spear turned into ashes.
