Chapter 818: Chaos in the City Lord's Mansion
Yecheng City Lord’s Mansion.
City Lord Duan Xiu walked out of the quiet room and looked towards the prison with a frown on his face.
"Who is so bold as to come here and rob people?"
He was once a general in the army, and was later transferred to Yecheng as the city lord. His military experience trained him to be calm in the face of danger. He calmly analyzed the current situation and called his subordinates: "Those who dare to come to the city to rob people must be at least in the early stage of fusion. Come on, quickly ask for help from the four neighboring cities, and then let them notify the army stationed nearby!"
"yes!"
Duan Xiu put on the black armor he wore in the past battles and put on a helmet, as if he had returned to the army more than a hundred years ago.
"Husband, what on earth is this..."
"Dad, what happened?"
Duan Xiu's wife and son also noticed the commotion and came out of the room. They noticed Duan Xiu putting on his armor and looked worried.
Duan Xiu's resolute eyes softened. He held his wife's hand and said seriously, "They are just a bunch of thieves. Don't you know my strength? Nothing will happen to me."
"And Ye Cheng still has a secret weapon that he hasn't used yet."
"Then you have to be careful."
His wife and son were very worried about Duan Xiu.
Duan Xiu waved his hand without even turning his head, and shouted, "Alright, go back and have a rest."
After saying goodbye to his wife and children, Duan Xiu went to the underground secret room in the City Lord's Mansion.
Few people know that there is actually a combined-level city defense formation hidden under Yecheng. Once it is activated, it will be no problem to not only defeat the bandits, but also to hold them back while waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
He twisted a book on the bookshelf, and the bookshelf moved aside with a bang, revealing a stone door. He input spiritual power into the stone door, and the stone door opened, revealing a long tunnel.
He quickly entered the tunnel and came to the underground secret room.
As he passed through the tunnel, oil lamps nailed to the stone walls lit up one by one, all the way to the deepest part of the secret room.
"What!"
When he arrived at the secret room, he was shocked to find that the protective array carved on the wall of the secret room had been completely destroyed and could not be repaired at all! "How is this possible!"
Without his spiritual power as the key, no one can break in here! "City Lord Duan, are you surprised?"
A ghostly voice came from behind City Lord Duan.
"Who is it!" City Lord Duan turned his head suddenly. He had been using his spiritual power from beginning to end, but he did not notice anyone approaching him.
The opponent's strength is superior to mine!
The other party reported a name that City Lord Duan had never heard of: "Wuqing Sect, Wu Lei."
"It's really you, the Merciless Sect!" City Lord Duan stared at Wu Lei vigilantly, quietly touched the storage ring, and took out a red tassel spear.
"It seems that you are splitting up into two groups, one to rescue people, and the other to hold me back!"
Wu Lei shook his head slightly and said calmly: "Saving people is just a cover-up. The purpose of our trip is to kill you!"
"How courageous!"
The red tasseled spear was like a dragon soaring into the sky, the tip of the spear flashing with blazing light and raging flames.
Although he was in the Refining Void Stage, he now had the combat power of the Fusion Stage, and was not afraid of this ruthless teacher named Wu Lei! Wu Lei opened his hands slightly, and a trace of electricity jumped on his fingertips, setting off a thunderstorm in the small secret room! Puff——
City Lord Duan was in the center of the thunderstorm, with lightning raging. Before the Red Tassel Spear could reach Wu Lei, he was electrocuted and could not control himself, and the spear fell to the ground with a clang.
"City Lord Duan, don't you know that there are still differences in the levels among those in the Fusion Stage?" There was no trace of sarcasm in Wu Lei's tone when he said this, but considering the current environment, the sarcasm was even stronger!
"How is this possible!" City Lord Duan's body was numb from the electric shock and he didn't even have the strength to clench his fist. He looked at Wu Lei in disbelief.
Even if there are differences in the levels of the fusion stage, the winner cannot be determined by just one move. The thunderstorm just launched actually attacked his weaknesses!
"What's impossible about this?"
An all too familiar voice sounded behind Ulei.
“Civil and military?!”
City Lord Duan widened his eyes and looked at his son Duan Wenwu who walked out from behind Wu Lei.
"Are you an undercover agent of the Ruthless Cult?!"
The existence of the secret room and his own weaknesses, if it was his son who informed on him, then it all makes sense!
Duan Wenwu looked at his father who was in a stalemate and said with a smile: "I haven't really joined the Wuqing Sect yet. Only after I kill you, I will be considered a member of the Wuqing Sect."
If you want to join the Ruthless Cult, you need to kill your closest relative.
The people closest to Duan Wenwu are his parents.
But his cultivation was too low. Even if City Lord Duan stood here and let him watch, he couldn't hurt City Lord Duan at all. As the city lord, Duan Xiu had a life-saving magic weapon bestowed by the court.
So he needs to ask the top leaders of Wuqing Sect for help.
The top leaders of Wuqing Cult would not help him for no reason, so he promised to help open the treasury of Yecheng and let Wu Lei take what he wanted.
"Why!" City Lord Duan's eyes were bloodshot as he tried hard to fight against the thunder raging in his body.
"Why? You still have the nerve to ask why!" When Duan Wenwu heard this question, it seemed like something was touched and his expression became crazy.
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
"You didn't use your privileges to exchange benefits with the sect to allow me to enter the super-grade sect or the first-grade sect, nor did you allow me to use the treasures in the treasury to improve my cultivation. As a result, I am 25 years old this year, and my cultivation is still stuck in the Golden Core Stage!"
"I'm the mayor's son, and you haven't even used your privileges for me once!"
"My mother just comforted me, saying that I was not born to practice cultivation and could pursue a career in government instead!"
"Pursuing a career in politics, pursuing a career in politics, is this going to make me as rigid as you?"
"Have you ever considered my feelings?"
"Since you named me Wenwu, where is Wu?"
At the age of 25, he has reached the Jindan stage. His talent for cultivation is not slow, but this is not the result of Duan Wenwu's practice, but the result of City Lord Duan using his savings to help his son improve.
This is already the limit. Duan Wenwu's aptitude is too poor. If he wants to go one step further, the rare treasures he needs are not something that City Lord Duan can provide.
"The exchange of interests will harm the interests of the people of Yecheng. The treasury belongs to the court, not to your father personally. How can I give it to you..."
"That's enough, stop talking!" Duan Wenwu was furious. "Since you insist on acting like a city lord, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
There is a method within the Wuqing Sect to improve one's qualifications, which requires the blood of family members as a medicine inducer.
The higher the family member’s cultivation level, the better the effect of the medicine.
His father is a cultivator in the Void Refining Stage, so he might be able to transform into a dual-spiritual genius! "Wenwu..." City Lord Duan's eyes were hazy. Seeing the unfamiliar Duan Wenwu, a series of scenes flashed through his mind: his son's birth, babbling, learning to walk, climbing trees to dig out bird nests, being spanked on the back of his hands by his teacher, reciting while crying, testing his spiritual roots, drawing qi into his body... How could a good child become like this? Seeing his father like this, Duan Wenwu's tone suddenly softened and he sighed, "Dad, I love you and mother, but I want to become stronger, so I have to sacrifice you. I hope you can understand me."
“True Lord, please help!” Duan Wenwu bowed to Wu Lei, murderous intent flashing in his eyes, “Please kill my parents and everyone in the City Lord’s Mansion!”
If the imperial court knew that he had joined the Wuqing Sect, they would certainly use this as a clue to investigate, which would cause endless trouble.
For this reason, he reported the Wuqing Sect's Yecheng branch and arrested all the people in the branch. Then Wu Lei and another Wuqing Sect high-ranking official used this as an excuse to rob the prison and kill his father who was resisting as well as everyone in the City Lord's Mansion.
He will appear on the death list, and there will be no Duan Wenwu in the world anymore. He can smoothly join the Wuqing Sect without worrying about being investigated by the imperial court.
The Wuqing Sect puts profit first. He has given Master Wu Lei so many benefits. Once he joins the Wuqing Sect, he will naturally get support from Master Wu Lei.
Wu Lei didn't say anything, his whole body was covered with lightning, and a bolt of lightning condensed in his palm.
"City Lord Duan, goodbye."
Swoosh——
A sword light descended from the sky, creating a bottomless gap between Wu Lei and City Lord Duan. A gap was also created in the secret room and the study above.
Wu Lei raised his head suddenly, stared at the old Taoist holding a sword above his head, and squeezed out four words from between his teeth.
"Silent Taoist!"
Taoist Bu Yu looked at Wu Lei carefully, gradually matching him with the person in his memory, and suddenly he understood.
"Are you Wu Lei? We haven't seen each other for more than a thousand years. I remember that when I joined the Wuqing Sect, you were in the late stage of fusion. How come you are still in the late stage of fusion now?"
"The cultivation method of your Wuqing Sect doesn't work."
