After all, those who can hold the Knife Catcher Token are all eight-rank martial artists at the beginning, but they are not something that these guards can afford to provoke.

"Please wait outside for a while, and let me go in and make a report."

The guard didn't dare to slack off, and threw his hand at the two, turning away with Li Bai's token.

Lu Yuan and Li Bai waited in front of the City Lord's Mansion for two minutes, and then saw the guards trotting out all the way and shouted to the two: "Please come in with me, the City Lord is inside." ”

"Okay."

Lu Yuan and Li Bai glanced at each other, followed the guard, and entered the City Lord's Mansion.

The city lord's mansion shows a quaint atmosphere everywhere, with a simple brown corridor that winds through the entire mansion, winding paths, surrounded by dense flowers and plants, and has a sense of seclusion from the world.

From time to time, the fan-shaped windows of the cloister peek out of the delicate roses, which can be seen to have been carefully cared for.

"This Lian City Lord's taste is unique."

Li Bai looked at the scene in front of him with a strange expression.

Generally speaking, warriors are rough people, and there are not many people who like flowers and plants.

Lu Yuan smiled and did not speak.

Coming to the end of the corridor, a small courtyard appeared.

"Let them in."

The man in the room said loudly.

The guard stepped forward and opened the door to the room, motioning for the two to enter.

Li Bai entered first, followed by Lu Yuan.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw two people sitting on a chair in the room, with tea in front of them, as if they were discussing something.

One of them was elegant and easy-going, like a teacher, about forty years old, with some gray temples, and he thought it was Lian Chengye, the lord of Chongshan City.

The other was wearing armor and carrying a weapon, burly and less than thirty years old, with unrestrained qi and blood, squinting at the two who had suddenly arrived.

Lian Chengye stood up and invited the two to sit down with a smile on his face.

"Two, sit down, you don't need to be restrained in my house," Lian Chengye didn't have the slightest shelf from the city lord, personally poured tea for them, and then looked at Lu Yuan and asked, "This little friend looks like a friend, is it a friend of Mr. Li Bai?" ”

Li Bai arched his hand and made an introduction, "This is Brother Lu Jing, his strength is unfathomable, far above me, city lord, don't you want a martial arts master, he will definitely agree with your request!" ”

As soon as these words came out, whether it was Lian Chengye or the strong martial artist beside him, they were all stunned.

None of them.

The main reason is that Lu Yuan is too young, he looks underage, and his appearance in the 14th Five-Year Plan is even stronger than Li Bai in the middle of the eighth grade.

When did such a genius come to such a small place as Chongshan City?

Lian Chengye frowned slightly, he really couldn't believe it, but after thinking about it, Li Bai came to the door in person, and he was well-known in the nearby cities, so he would definitely not come all the way to joke.

The sturdy martial artist squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Yuan, and asked angrily: "Little Brother Lu, dare to ask where your teacher is, even Li Bai is ashamed of himself?" ”

Li Bai's heart moved slightly, and he also pricked up his ears, just as curious about Lu Yuan's origin.

"There is no door and no faction in the next place, just thinking about it yourself."

Lu Yuan's face was calm, and he casually found an excuse.

However, Lu Yuan is also telling the truth, his martial arts can be said to be all studied by himself, and he does not rely on his master to teach him.

Saying this can prevent you from revealing your identity and maintain an unfathomable image.

Li Bai heard Lu Yuan say that he had no door and no faction, and he naturally didn't believe it in his heart, he had seen Lu Yuan kill the Daci nun with his own eyes, and his strength and martial arts were more advanced than the old martial artists on the rivers and lakes for decades, how could it be that he figured it out by himself.

The sturdy martial artist naturally didn't believe it, raised his eyebrows, and snorted coldly: "Since Lu Xiaoyou doesn't want to tell him, then let me try it in person, is it really as capable as Li Bai said!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the strong warrior's hand pressed on the hilt of the knife at his waist, ready to make a few moves with Lu Yuan.

However, the next moment, Lu Yuan moved.

His movements seem slow, but he comes first.

As soon as the strong martial artist's hand touched the hilt of the sword, Lu Yuan's body had already come to him, dragging a faint phantom, as if teleporting over.

Immediately after, Lu Yuan slapped towards the wrist of the strong warrior who drew his sword.

Boom!

There was a loud bang.

The strong warrior's pupils shrank, and his face showed pain.

Before he could even react, he felt as if his hand had been hit by a giant hammer weighing a thousand pounds, and the pain was unbearable.

"Shhhh

The sturdy warrior roared, and hurriedly picked up his hand and shook it indiscriminately to relieve the pain.

Click-

And the scabbard at his waist was torn apart without warning under the action of this huge force, and the long knife was unrestrained and plunged directly into the hard ground.

"It's not good to use a knife here, if you want to, go out and beat me and I'll accompany you."

Lu Yuan's figure retreated to its original position, and his voice was flat with a hint of coldness.

The Blood Sea Demon Sutra operated unconsciously, revealing a sinister aura and killing intent all over his body, which made people shudder.

"This ....."

The strong warrior was so stumbling that he couldn't speak for a while, so he had to hold his wrist and retreat, his back already soaked in cold sweat.

"Brother Lu, he... It's so strong. ”

Li Bai looked stunned before he came back to his senses.

The speed of Lu Yuan's attack just now was too fast, and it only took a blink of an eye from the beginning of his move to his return.

Li Bai didn't even see how he made his move, he only saw the strong warrior retreat in pain, and the scabbard naturally exploded.

This kind of shooting speed, even if Li Bai concentrates, it is impossible to prevent it.

In other words, if Lu Yuan wanted to, he could take his life in the blink of an eye.

However, the person who injured the other party in the City Lord's Mansion did end badly.

Li Bai hurriedly stood up, stood in front of Lu Yuan, and explained: "City Lord Lian, it was your people who wanted to do it first, and Brother Lu didn't mean to hurt him..."

The doubts in the eyes of the strong warrior had disappeared, and they were replaced by respect and worship, "Yes! It's really inferior to others, Brother Lu's strength is very strong, much stronger than me! ”

"Don't worry, I'm not a short-term protector, even if Bai Yi is killed, it doesn't matter about Lujing."

Lian Chengye waved his hand, his eyes were shining, and he looked at Lu Yuan as if he was looking at a piece of precious jade.

Seeing that the matter had subsided, Lu Yuan also stopped the operation of the Blood Sea Demon Sutra, the murderous and evil aura disappeared in an instant, and the temperature in the room warmed up a lot.

He just made a deliberate move, and to deal with this kind of unscrupulous person who dares to make a move, he must return the other party with thunderous means.

Not only can you calm the other party, but you can also knock it out and prepare for the subsequent negotiation.

"Brother Lu Jing, I apologize to you for the offense of my subordinates, please forgive me."

Lian Chengye bowed his hand to Lu Yuan, with a sincere attitude and a very low attitude, expressing his importance to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan waved his hand, sat down and continued to drink tea.

The strong warrior shook his hand without leaving a trace, leaned over to Lian Chengye's ear, and whispered: "City Lord, this person's strength is very strong, above the guaranteed seven grades, I am not as good as him!" ”

Hearing this, Lian Chengye's heart became even hotter.

Such a young seven-rank martial artist!

This sturdy martial artist's name is Bai Yi, and he is not an ordinary person, but a seventh-rank early martial artist, who has always followed him and protected his safety.

Although Lian Chengye didn't see the scene just now, he understood it.

Bai Yi took the initiative and wanted to give the other party a dismount, but he was beaten by the young man in front of him and didn't even have a chance to make a knife.

Thinking of this, Lian Chengye glanced at Bai Yi and Li Bai, and said softly: "Let's go out first, and I'll talk to Little Brother Lu Jing." ”

"Yes!"

The two looked at each other, said goodbye, and closed the door with their hands.

Only Lu Yuan and Lian Chengye were left in the house.

"It's really a hero out of a young man, I didn't expect the strength of the little brother of Lu Jing to be so strong, how much neglect he was just now!"

Lian Chengye took Lu Yuan's empty teacup, poured a cup of hot tea himself, and put it in front of Lu Yuan's table.

Lu Yuan was not polite, and went straight to the point.

"City Lord Lian, I heard Li Bai say that you need a martial arts master to do things here, I don't know what to do?"

When Lian Chengye heard this, he cleared his throat, and his face became a little serious, as if he was considering his words.

Half an hour later, Lian Chengye's deep voice sounded.

"Little Brother Lu, do you know the Blood Lotus Sect?"

When he asked this, Lian Chengye's eyes were fixed on Lu Yuan's eyes, as if he wanted to see something from his reaction.

It's no wonder that he is vigilant, it is really that the infiltration of the Blood Lotus Sect is too terrifying, and many families in Chongshan City have disciples of the Blood Lotus Sect.

And Lu Jing had never heard of this person before, not to mention that the other party came to the door at this juncture, he didn't want to lure the wolf into the house and find someone from the Blood Lotus Sect to come over.

When Lu Yuan heard this, he was slightly stunned, and when he saw the other party's expression, he probably understood what the other party meant.

"Don't worry, even the city lord, I'm not a member of the Blood Lotus Sect, they are good at demagoguery and fooling the people, and I can't get used to it."

"It's good over there...."

Even Chengye breathed a sigh of relief, the disciples of the Blood Lotus Sect had been brainwashed, and they would never say anything unfavorable to the Blood Lotus Sect, so it can be seen that Lu Yuan's identity can be assured.

"In that case, then I'll get straight to the point!"

Lian Chengye Zhengse said: "That's the case, compared to what happened in Chongshan City recently, compared to what happened in Chongshan City, those Blood Lotus Sects were demagogic in the city, saying that holy water can cure diseases, and they rolled up a lot of money, causing many families to be ruined, and people and money were empty....

As the city lord of Chongshan City, I am really heartbroken to see the people living in fire and water, and I can't sleep all night, if this Blood Lotus Sect is not eliminated for a day, my heart will not be at peace for a day! ”

Hearing these words in Lu Yuan's ears, the expression on his face became a little strange.

Listening to the meaning of Lian Chengye's words, do you want to do something to the Blood Lotus Sect?

The Blood Lotus Sect is such a big force, even the emperor can't control it, what can he do as a small city lord....

Of course, what surprised Lu Yuan even more was that this Lian Chengye seemed to be really a good official, and he actually thought about the people and wanted to get rid of the Blood Lotus Sect.

As far as Lu Yuan knows, many of the city lords of this world are bought with money, and they don't care about the people's suffering at all.

In recent years, the bandits in Chongshan City have been rampant, and the previous city lord didn't even bother to send a notice.

But after thinking about it, Lu Yuan somewhat understood the key.

After all, bandits and the Blood Lotus Sect are still different.

Bandits are all miscellaneous fish with no organization and chance, even if this wave is eradicated, it won't be long before the next wave will appear, as long as the dynasty is in turmoil, the bandits will never be rooted.

On the contrary, the bandits will make the residents living outside the city desperately squeeze into the city, and will not lead to the loss of people in the city.

And the bandits have a lot in their hearts, and they don't dare to take the city lord what to do, after all, there is no conflict of interest, and it is best for everyone to be safe.

But the Blood Lotus Sect is different, in essence, it is a cult that can subvert the imperial power, and there will even be a phenomenon of assassinating some officials.

If Lian Chengye sits idly by and allows the Blood Lotus Sect to take root and grow stronger in Chongshan City, even if the two do not interfere with each other, they may be blamed from above and labeled as a rebel.

If you say small, you may lose your black gauze hat, and if you say you are big, you will lose your head.

And the number of bandits will not endanger Lian Chengye's life, even if it is well governed, that is, it has a good reputation in the mouth of the people, and it is of no practical use.

If Lian Chengye really thought about the people, he would have invited someone to go up the mountain to suppress the bandits as soon as possible, instead of eliminating the Blood Lotus Sect.

Lu Yuan figured out the key in a short period of time, so he had a better understanding of Lian Chengye.

"The lord of the city is really kind-hearted, he loves the city and the people, he admires and admires him!"

Lu Yuan arched his hand and said in a tone that was neither salty nor light, full of irony.

Even Chengye didn't know if he didn't hear Lu Yuan's ridicule, or if he deliberately pretended not to understand, and said with a smile: "Lu Xiaoyou praised it falsely, it's just to do some things, as the city lord of Chongshan City, the people can have enough food and clothing, live and work in peace and contentment, and I will die well." ”

"Good, good, so good."

Lu Yuan didn't continue to tease Lian Chengye, and said directly: "The Blood Lotus Sect is indeed not a good thing, and it is normal for even the city lord to want to do something to them, but he is only alone, I'm afraid he won't be able to help the city lord of Lian..."

This is also what Lu Yuan wants to ask the most.

He is a martial artist, he has no power or power, what can he do to help Lian Chengye?

If Lian Chengye really wants to do something big, he must at least have an elite army.

Lian Chengye looked straight and explained: "That's the case, I have some understanding of the Blood Lotus Sect, the Blood Lotus Sect has a strict hierarchy, most of them are ranked according to their strength, and the strength of the little brother Lu is outstanding, I am afraid that I can't find a second one in the entire Chongshan City, it is my best helper...

I, Lian Chengye, want to ask you to help me kill those cultists one by one, so as to break the Blood Lotus Sect's control over Chongshan City! ”

From Lian Chengye's words, Lu Yuan learned that he didn't care about the Blood Lotus Sect in other places, and just wanted to drive it out of Chongshan City.

It only needs to be killed by arranging the Blood Lotus Sect at the top of Chongshan City, and the Blood Lotus Sect will naturally collapse.
