The assassins trained by the royal family of the Great Yue Kingdom, despite the experience of several monarchs, were still easily defeated.
He had never lost an assassination mission in the Great Yue Kingdom, but he couldn't gain any advantage against Li Ting.
Fear gripped Lu Dacheng's heart, and he sat alone in his tent all night.
At dawn, Lu Dacheng went to Emperor Hui's tent and told him about the events of the previous night.
When Zheng Duoyu heard Li Ting say that 150 top-tier experts from the Great Yue Kingdom had been defeated by Li Ting, he staggered.
He only brought a thousand Imperial Guards with him this time. If Li Ting wanted to kill him, wouldn't it be as easy as turning his hand?
After thinking it over, he decided to hurry back to the palace since Feng Deneng was dead and they weren't far from the capital.
They couldn't care less about Zhao Yunwan's tyranny; it was too dangerous outside.
After breakfast, Emperor Hui ordered the camp to be broken up and the army to return to the capital.
Surprisingly, there were no further setbacks along the way.
Emperor Hui returned to the palace but did not linger at the palace gate.
Lu Dacheng went to the underground city in the western part of the capital after his plan failed.
Upon receiving the news, Li Ting settled things at home and then personally went with Xu Ningyou to Lu Dacheng's place.
The West Market was a mixed bag, and the houses were all dilapidated.
This is a remnant of the Jin Dynasty. Some people got used to living here and refused to move away. Over time, it became the underground city of the West Market.
Due to the unique geographical structure of the capital, the underground city, apart from being a bit dimly lit, does not feel suffocating.
Lu Dacheng's lodging was located in the poorest part of the capital. The house looked old, but it exuded a sense of antiquity and luxury.
Li Ting and Xu Ningyou had now transformed into beggars, each holding a bamboo pole and carrying a broken bowl in their arms.
They stopped a hundred paces outside Lu Dacheng's house.
"My lord, there is a Five Elements and Eight Trigrams formation here. I must break it."
The two communicated using telepathy.
No one else can hear it.
They would never have imagined that the two beggars in the West Market were none other than Li Ting and Xu Ningyou, who were famous throughout the Southern Chen Kingdom.
Xu Ningyou picked up a few broken stones and pretended to walk around looking at them.
In reality, Xu Ningyou had already thrown the broken stones out very quickly, and they all landed right at the center of the formation.
In an instant, the formation that was blocking their way was broken.
The two appeared silently in Lu Dacheng's courtyard.
Before they arrived, Li Xingran had reminded them that it would be best to wear gas masks.
The two men who entered the courtyard took out gas masks specially made by Fan Zuan from their pockets.
After they put them on, no one could recognize them anymore.
Xu Ningyou held her breath, listening to the sounds coming from inside the room.
All that could be heard inside the room were the girl's screams.
One of Lu Dacheng's quirks.
When I'm in a bad mood, I torture these medicine furnaces.
Li Ting had already found out about Lu Dacheng's place where he kept the young girl's medicine furnace, but he hadn't taken any action to avoid alerting Lu Dacheng.
On the way back to the capital, Lu Dacheng's brows were furrowed, and Li Ting knew that he needed to vent, so he guessed that Lu Dacheng would definitely come here today.
When Li Ting and Xu Ningyou entered the house, the scene that greeted them was so shocking that even Li Ting, who was used to seeing the horrors of the battlefield, couldn't help but gasp.
The room contained the bodies of more than a dozen young girls, all unconscious.
The girls' bodies were covered with whip marks and cuts.
This was the first time Xu Ningyou had ever seen someone use such cruel methods to make fun of others.
This time, we must rescue all the girls and settle all the old scores with Lu Dacheng.
"Imperial Physician Lu, ah, no, I should call you Huangfu Chucheng, what a refined taste you have!" Li Ting said in a different voice.
Upon hearing this voice, Lu Dacheng instantly snapped out of his bloodthirsty state.
Turning around, I saw two men of medium build, wearing strange masks and dressed in tattered clothes, standing in front of me.
There are no such people in the martial arts world.
So these two must have been disguised.
Only Xu Ningyou could break the Five Elements Formation outside his house.
Lu Dacheng's mind raced as he considered what traces he could leave to tell Zhao Yunwan that he had been captured by Li Ting and his wife.
He touched the deadly poison in his sleeve pocket, thinking that since he couldn't escape, he might as well take someone down with him.
Lu Dacheng quickly planned to release a highly toxic substance called "Three-Step Poison" into the air.
Li Ting moved quickly, moving to Lu Dacheng's side and grabbing Lu Dacheng's hand tightly.
Xu Ningyou, holding a bag, quickly stepped forward and grabbed Lu Dacheng's hand.
The couple worked together seamlessly.
Seeing that he had failed to spread his poison and that Li Ting had rendered him immobile, Lu Dacheng remained calm.
If poison didn't work, he still had the art of divination and strategy.
This is a house he specially built, and the reason he chose to be in the West Market was so that when he used the Qimen Dunjia technique, no one could track him.
But the reason why Li Ting discovered this hideout long ago but didn't take action was to set up a trap for Lu Dacheng.
Lu Dacheng's feet began to move quickly, and then his hands became soft and broke free from Li Ting's control. Li Ting and Xu Ningyou watched as Lu Dacheng disappeared into the house.
As a result, Lu Dacheng encountered obstacles everywhere underground.
He couldn't possibly get out of the basement of this house.
Because Li Ting had already ordered people to pour iron around the half-mile radius around the house.
Lu Dacheng's Qimen Dunjia is based on the earth element, so it cannot traverse environments containing iron.
Lu Dacheng had no choice but to return to the house.
"Huangfu Chucheng, how was the meeting?" Li Ting asked in a teasing tone.
"How do you know about my abilities?" Lu Dacheng wanted to be the one to know the truth.
