"My lord, hero, a man spares his life, ah-"

There was a cry for mercy, followed by a terrible scream, but soon the screaming stopped abruptly.

"Bang" sounded like a watermelon explosion.

There were a few corpses lying quietly in front of Lei Luo, but they were the same people who had framed him for stealing.

Just now he used the soul searching technique on one of them, and he also got some interesting information, one of which was that the city lord of Wisteria City was actually the umbrella behind these people.

He learned that these people were from Baihua Prefecture, and because they had committed murders in Baihua Prefecture, they came to this three-point area in order to avoid the pursuit of the government.

From this person's memory, I also learned that the city lord of Wisteria City did not reject these green forest people, and even adopted a gentle attitude of acceptance.

As for the reason why the city lord did this, no one knows, and it is estimated that the other party will tell you only if you ask the wisteria city lord himself.

"It just so happens that there aren't many clues now, so let's go meet this city lord!" Lei Luo muttered as he looked at the City Lord's Mansion standing in the center of the city.

Wisteria City, the Lord's Mansion.

At this moment, the city lord is anxious, as for the reason, it is naturally because his wife has a strange disease, and how many doctors have come to see him, but there is no cure.

Of course, the wisteria city lord did not act like this because he loved his wife deeply, and even this bedridden wife was not his real wife.

Back then, he was still a small official in Wisteria City, his status was not high, and he had no real power, he belonged to the kind of petty official who could not be on the stage in the city lord's mansion and had no room for improvement in his life.

Later, the East County of Shengtianzhou expanded, and Baihua Prefecture naturally would not give up this Wisteria City, so the city lord of the Baihua State faction was naturally dissatisfied with the order, and secretly made a stumbling block for the East County Guard.

He also saw the opportunity, and knew that his opportunity to soar was coming, so he secretly collected a lot of evidence about the city lord's personal pockets.

And after he abandoned his knotted wife at that time and married the current wife, he relied on the power of the other party's mother's family and the support of the East County of Shengtianzhou to oust the original city lord from power, and finally sat in the position of the city lord of Wisteria City.

By the way, his current wife's maiden family is a powerful immortal cultivator family in the East County of Shengtianzhou, and it is said that there are several ancestors in the Jindan period.

Moreover, within this family, there are many junior disciples who worship in the well-known great sects in the Holy Heavenly State.

This family is said to be the existence of the Earth Emperor in the Eastern County of Shengtianzhou, and even the county guard does not dare to offend them easily.

So now the city lord is so anxious, naturally because if his wife dies of illness, then the other party's family will not support him.

Once he loses this backer, the throne of this city lord may not be stable in the end, and he may even be killed.

I have been the city lord all these years, and I secretly don't know how many people I have offended, how many forces, they are all waiting for an opportunity to move, if it weren't for that family, I don't know how many times I would have died.

Let's just say that in the nearby Baihua Prefecture, the family of the former city lord was a big enemy, and he didn't stumble on himself over the years, and he really offended them by stabbing him in the back back then.

"It's getting more and more peaceful in this city, there are always some people sneaking into the city recently, and I even heard that several martial arts halls in the city have been destroyed, how good is this!"

At this moment, he was pacing back and forth in the lobby, his brows furrowed, and he almost wrote the word "sorrow" on his face.

"Master, master, there is news from Madame's mother's family!"

At that moment, a panicked guard rushed in all the way.

Of course, this is an order from the wisteria city lord, once there is news of the lady's mother's family, report it to yourself as soon as possible, and you don't need to worry about any rules.

"What's the news, hurry up!"

The Wisteria City Lord hurriedly stepped forward and took a letter from the guard's hand.

He couldn't wait to tear open the seal, then opened the letter and looked at it, which was a sigh of relief.

This time, his wife's maiden family sent a Jindan monk, as well as seven or eight foundation building monks, and they estimated that the distance would arrive early tomorrow morning, and this letter was reported by Feijian.

"Alright, you go down!"

Receiving good news, the Wisteria City Lord waved his hand to stop the demonstration.

But just then, another guard walked in and waited respectfully.

"What's the matter?" the Wisteria City Lord asked casually when he saw the guard.

"Qiqi City Lord, there is a young man who claims to be Haoran Academy outside the gate who asks to see him, and he is now waiting outside the City Lord's Mansion," the guard reported.

"What, Haoran Academy!" Hearing the guard's announcement, the Wisteria City Lord was shocked.

Then his expression froze, it had not been a few months since he broke the news, how could the other party come so early.

"Hurry up, please, be sure to respectfully invite the other party over!" he hurriedly commanded.

But after all, the other party represents Haoran Academy, which is one of the top ten sects of the righteous path, and it is a behemoth rooted in the imperial city and influencing the political affairs of the Holy Emperor Dynasty, how can he be lazy.

A quarter of an hour later, in the chamber of the City Lord's Mansion.

The Wisteria City Lord had seen this 'big man' of Lao Tzu Haoran Academy, but to be honest, he was very disappointed.

Because the person who came was too young, and this cultivation and himself were both in the early stage of foundation building, to be honest, they really couldn't help themselves.

He had written two letters, one to the Dongjun County Guard, and the other to his wife's maiden home.

Because of the strength of his wife's mother's family, the letter to the county guard was a bit understated, and it was no wonder that Haoran Academy would send a monk from the early stage of foundation building, and obviously did not pay much attention to this matter.

However, he couldn't show these contempts, because after all, the person who came was Haoran Academy, which represented the righteous Confucian sect, and this was not something he could offend.

"I don't know if Lei Daoyou came to my Wisteria City, but is there anything I can serve?" the Wisteria City Lord still hurriedly asked, his tone was extremely eager.

"Didn't Lord Haoran Academy entrust you to exterminate the ghosts that were causing trouble, why didn't you take me to the scene of the crime to have a look?"

He was also surprised, this city lord didn't seem to have any expectations for his arrival, and even a little absent-mindedness in his eyes.

"This, Lei Daoyou, it's not that I don't want to take you there, but I really can't pull away. Because of the aggravation of my wife's condition, I didn't dare to leave half a step, for fear of some mistakes, and I hope to forgive my sins!"

There is another reason why he didn't leave, that is, the reinforcement he found was about to arrive, but this sentence can't be said nonsense.

Because most of the young disciples of these great sects are arrogant, if this sentence is said, maybe the other party will not say anything on the surface, but in their hearts they may hold a grudge against themselves.

After all, I found both Haoran Academy and my wife's family, which is not a move to believe Haoran Academy.

In case this Confucian student adds fuel to the matter after he goes back, then he despises Haoran Academy and is poked out, and his position as the city lord will definitely not be done, and he will not suffer any kind of death.

After all, he had heard that although these Confucian monks were superficially and amiable, they all claimed to be scholars, but they were ruthless in their methods.

"I see, in that case, can you tell me the location of the recent ghost crime, and I can investigate the case myself," Lei Luo naturally didn't care.

"Since Lei Daoyou is so hearted, it's okay," the Wisteria City Lord was overjoyed, and then said: "Come on, take Lei Daoyou to my study, and hand over all the documents in the room to Daoyou to read, don't slack off!"

Naturally, a guard from the City Lord's Mansion walked into the hall and left the council hall with Lei Luo.

"Check it, just let this person check for a few months, and when he can't find anything, he will go back!"

Lei Luo was led by the guards to the study of the City Lord's Mansion, and the Wisteria City Lord was also relieved, so he flipped through the files in the study for himself at will.

He had found a recent file on the haunted case and looked through it under the watchful eye of the guards.

From these files, he learned some information, the person who caused the accident was the martial artist and the head of the various martial arts halls in the city, and the location of the accident was both inside and outside the city.

Lei Luo is child carefully read these files several times, and even read the records of the guards of the City Lord's Mansion going out for interrogation no less than twice, and finally he seemed to have discovered something.

"This little brother, do you have any maps of Wisteria City and the surrounding area, can you go get me a copy?" he asked the guards beside him.

"Wait a minute, sir!" the guards naturally bowed down to receive the order.

In a short time, a map of Wisteria City and a radius of dozens of miles was handed over to Lei Luo.

"In that case, you go and tell the city lord that I will investigate the case myself, so please don't worry about it!" Then he walked out of the mansion quickly, and said casually.

Naturally, the guards didn't dare to slack off, and sent him out of the City Lord's Mansion, and then walked quickly towards the council hall, obviously to report to the City Lord.

Just as Lei Luo was about to raise his feet and set off, he suddenly looked at the sky, only to see several rays of light flying from a distance, and the leader was a Jindan monk.

"One mid-stage Jindan monk, eight foundation building monks, the cultivation is uneven, but this kind of strength should be able to sweep the entire Wisteria City, right?" he muttered.

Then he saw that these people had flown into the City Lord's Mansion, and under the surveillance of his divine sense, they had gone to find the Wisteria City Lord.

"I'll just say, why is that person lukewarm to me, the feeling is that he has found another batch of reinforcements, and I, a monk in the early stage of foundation building, have no hope at all!" Lei Luo said with a smile.

Thinking of this, he didn't mean anything else, so he walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, and then disappeared into the uneven streets of Wisteria City.

Inside the Castle Lord's Mansion.

The Wisteria City Lord was respectfully waiting on the side at the moment, and beside him sat eight people, who were the same level monks of his wife's mother's family.

At this moment, these eight people were sitting in the council hall of the City Lord's Mansion with a proud face, especially the two monks in the late stage of foundation building, who were sitting on the left and right sides of the main head.

The Wisteria City Lord could only stand here, and he didn't dare to make the slightest move, and those who didn't know thought he was a servant serving these people.

Of course, there is no way, who told him to rely on the power of this group of people to ascend to the position of the city lord of this wisteria city, and relied on the foundation building pill provided by the other party to successfully build the foundation, and he had such a hundred years of life.

Therefore, for the mother's family of these ladies, he never dared to offend, and even offered them all as Buddhas, for fear that the other party would be dissatisfied.

"Seventh sister is really, since I married you back then, I have always let our family worry about it. You said that you are a wisteria city lord, why do you always offend people!" One of the people at the head shook his head.

This made the Wisteria City Lord hurriedly apologize, and the other people around him all looked at him with strange eyes.

"Forget it, anyway, the second uncle has arrived, and the seventh sister should be fine, but the second uncle is not here specifically for the seventh sister, but for that ghost!"

After finishing speaking, he asked the Wisteria City Lord, who didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, and hurriedly told everything he knew.

"It seems that nine times out of ten that ghost thing is a Jindan stage cultivator, no wonder the second uncle rushed over immediately after hearing the news, if we catch that ghost thing, our clan's strength will increase greatly!"

"However, Haoran Academy has also sent someone over, how to deal with this matter?" the Wisteria City Lord immediately reminded.

Then he also told Lei Luo's information, after all, this is a member of the ten major sects of the righteous path, and he must not slack off.

At first, these people all showed a look of solemnity, because even they couldn't ignore such a behemoth as Haoran Academy, but when they heard that the person who came to cultivate was only in the early stage of foundation building, they all showed disdain.

"A mere foundation building monk is not to be feared, it's a big deal that we don't care about him, what else can a foundation building monk find!"

All eight people in the audience burst into laughter, their tones full of sarcasm and disdain.
