After seeing Shen Yun and the others, Lu Chen changed his mind to go to the City Lord's Mansion immediately, and he decided to investigate the forces of the Qiantian Sect in the city first.

Lu Chen followed Shen Yun all the way, and after they entered the market, Lu Chen found a roadside restaurant and walked in.

Whether it is the spiritual world or the mortal world, the restaurant is always one of the most well-informed places.

After asking for a pot of spirit wine and a few side dishes, Lu Chen stopped Xiao Er and stuffed ten top-grade spirit stones into his hands.

Xiao Er accepted the spirit stone and asked respectfully, "Senior, if you want to know anything, I will definitely tell you in detail." ”

Lu Chen asked flatly, "Tell me about the City Lord's Mansion!"

Xiao Er nodded and said, "Our Ningyi City is the sphere of influence of the Qiantian Sect, in order to completely control here, the Qiantian Sect has always sent the sect protector to sit in the town, like the Su City Lord, who is the extremely high-ranking protector of the Qiantian Sect. ”

Lu Chen asked seemingly casually, "Then this Su City Lord, his cultivation should be very high." ”

Xiao Er replied, "Yes, it is said that the cultivation has reached the realm of the Great Perfection of Tribulation. ”

Lu Chen then asked, "How many monks does the Qiantian Sect have in the city?"

Xiao Er said, "Because the Qiantian Sect and Ningyi City are not too far apart, like the predecessors of the Tribulation Period cultivators, it only takes ten days to go back and forth to the sect, so except for the Dharma Protector of the main person, there will not be more than twenty other Tribulation Period cultivators." ”

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Er said softly, "Our city lord's name is Su Rongtian, he has been in Ningyi City for hundreds of years, in order to consolidate his personal power, he has recruited another group of monks to serve him, it is said that there are more than thirty masters of the Tribulation Period. ”

Lu Chen nodded and said to Xiao Er, "Okay, you go get busy!"

Xiao Er bowed down and stepped back, "Senior, you use it slowly!"

At this moment, Lu Chen had a general understanding of the situation in Qiantian Sect, that is, the city lord surnamed Su had slowly turned this place into an independent kingdom of his own after sitting in Ningyi City for so many years.

According to Lu Chen's judgment, Su Rongtian's power in Ningyi City was extremely strong, so strong that even the headquarters of Qiantianzong did not dare to rashly send others to replace him as the city lord, although Qiantianzong revoked his arrest, but if Su Rongtian wanted to do it for his own selfish interests, he would definitely not hesitate to take action against him.

After some analysis, Lu Chen decided to test it first, after all, for him, the biggest reliance now, the ink beetle is sleeping and advancing, two fists are invincible to four hands, it is always right to be cautious.

Early the next morning, after putting on the Shenmu mask, Lu Chen changed his appearance again, this time a thick man.

As soon as Lu Chen walked to the gate of Fang City, many low-level monks stepped forward.

"Senior, can I show you the way?"

"Senior, I've been here for many years, and I know a lot of people. ”

"Senior, whatever you want to buy, I promise to help you find it. ”

......

Looking at these low-level cultivators who relied on rewarding them to survive, Lu Chen said politely, "I want to send a letter, which of you can help me do it? After the matter is completed, I will give him a reward of fifty top-grade spirit stones." ”

When these people heard this, it was just a letter, what was so difficult, and they all wanted to take over the errand, but only a thin young man did not say a word, and even shrank back unnaturally.

Lu Chen was a little more interested in this thin young man, and asked, "Everyone else wants to help me do this, don't you want to take it?"

The thin young man replied respectfully, "Senior, junior is only a Jindan period of cultivation, I'm afraid of delaying the major events of my seniors." ”

Lu Chen said with a smile, "If it's not in the way, it's you." ”

The thin boy said excitedly, "Thank you, senior." ”

The others were all very disappointed and scattered.

Lu Chen thought in his heart, if this young man could complete the task he gave him, even if it was to give him a transformation, it would not hurt.

Lu Chen found a remote corner and said to the young man, "What's your name?"

The young man bowed and saluted, "Senior Li Ke!"

Lu Chen said, "I need you to send a letter to the Su City Lord, and I won't hide it from you, this operation is life-threatening, you should think about it yourself." ”

A hint of resoluteness flashed in Li Ke's eyes, and he arched his hand and said, "Senior, junior is an orphan, he has nothing to worry about in this world, and he can cultivate to the realm of Jindan, but also by his own efforts, wealth and danger are sought, fifty top-grade spirit stones are enough for me to cultivate for many years, and the junior is willing to give it a try!"

Lu Chen cast an appreciative glance at Li Ke, although this person has average qualifications, his belief in cultivating immortals is much more tenacious than ordinary people, maybe he will really have some great achievements in the future.

Lu Chen nodded, took out a letter from the storage ring and handed it to Li Ke, and said, "I want to make a deal with Su City Lord, but I'm afraid that he won't be trustworthy, so let you test it first." ”

Li Ke took the letter with both hands and said, "Seniors, rest assured, juniors will definitely complete the tasks you gave me." ”

Lu Chen asked, "If the other party asks you where the person who asked you to send the letter is, how should you answer?"

Li Ke replied, "I'm just a messenger, and I don't know anything else. ”

Lu Chen said, "After sending the letter, your mission is over, this is the fifty top-grade spirit stones for you, you can keep it!"

Li Ke didn't go to pick up the spirit stone, he said, "Seniors, juniors haven't sent a letter yet, how can they receive remuneration first." ”

After saying that, he strode towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

After Li Ke left, Lu Chen found a remote corner where no one was, this time, he changed into a middle-aged monk, and soon, he also came to the City Lord's Mansion, he wanted to see how the other party would react.

Su Rongtian in the City Lord's Mansion was meditating and cultivating, when someone reported receiving a letter.

Su Rongtian opened it and saw that it was written by Shen Chenyi.

After reading it, Su Rongtian frowned, and changed the past, maybe he would sell Shen Chenyi's face and sell the fairy spirit stone to Lu Chen at the price of 100,000 top-grade spirit stones.

But he had already received Yang Zhongqing's spirit grass before, and he learned from his nephew Su Zhirui that Shen Yun had a good impression of that Lu Chen.

Su Rongtian instantly made up his mind to use the fairy spirit stone as bait to kill Lu Chen.

Su Rongtian asked, "Is the person who delivered the letter still there?"

The guard replied, "City Lord, I'll call him right away." ”

Li Ke was low, if he wanted to say that he was not afraid, it must be fake, but he told himself that he must seize this opportunity, and he had a faint feeling that this mission to deliver the letter might be his immortal fate.

When Li Ke was uneasy, he heard a cold voice calling him, "The city lord is waiting for you inside, why don't you come with me!"

Li Ke suppressed the fear in his heart and followed the guard into the attic where Su Rongtian was.

This was the first time Li Ke saw the city lord Su Rongtian, and unnaturally, his body slowly trembled.

Su Rongtian said with a smile, "Little guy, you don't have to be afraid, this city lord is not a man-eating demon beast. ”

Li Ke bowed and saluted, "Meet the City Lord!"

Su Rongtian said, "No need to be polite, let me ask you, who asked you to deliver this letter?"

Li Ke had regained his composure at this moment, and replied without humility or arrogance, "I don't know the identity of that person, he said that he would give me a reward of fifty top-grade spirit stones after delivering the letter. ”

Su Rongtian said, "This city lord can give you a thousand top-grade spirit stones, as long as you help me find him!"

Li Keyi politely refused, "Thank you."

The city lord is kind, but the juniors really don't know where that person is. ”

When the guard behind Su Rongtian heard this, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he was about to make a move on Li Ke, but Su Rongtian stopped him with his eyes.

Then, Su Rongtian smiled at Li Ke and said, "Little guy, you can go! If you see the person who sent the letter, tell him that the Shen family master is a close friend of the next family, and the city lord has agreed to the transaction mentioned in the letter." ”

After Li Ke bowed, he left the City Lord's Mansion.

As soon as he walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, the clothes behind Li Ke were already wet with cold sweat, he knew that he had walked through the ghost gate, and in a trance, he walked in the direction of Fang City, and halfway through, he seemed to remember something, so he ran in the direction of home.

What Li Ke didn't know was that behind him, he had been quietly following a group of people, these people were all monks in the Tribulation Period, and the cultivation of the leader had reached the late stage of the Tribulation.

Obviously, Su Rongtian wanted to take the opportunity to follow Li Ke, find Lu Chen's traces through him, and then kill him in one fell swoop.

Li Ke was so different from their cultivation that he didn't know that he was being followed.

After arriving home, Li Ke fell asleep groggy.

For three days in a row, Lu Chen did not go to Li Ke.

However, the monks sent by Su Rongtian to hunt down Lu Chen were ambushed around Li Ke's house all the time, monitoring Li Ke's every move.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, a young Jindan monk came to the door of Li Ke's house and shouted, "Li Ke, why don't you go to the gate of Fang City to pick up the work." ”

Li Ke heard someone shouting outside and hurriedly opened the door, he felt very strange, he had never seen each other.

But he still said cooperatively, "If I don't take the job again, I don't have any spirit stones to cultivate, let's go, let's go to Fang City together!"

Those City Lord's Mansion guards did not make a rash move, but followed Li Ke and the others all the way, and after they entered Fang City, they found a place to hide.

Lu Chen pulled Li Ke to a no-man's corner in Fang City and said, "Li Ke, you may not have noticed that there have been guards from the City Lord's Mansion following you for the past three days!"

Hearing what the other party said, Li Ke recognized Lu Chen's identity, and he hurriedly saluted, "Meet the seniors." ”

Lu Chen said, "You have completed the task very well this time, I have already understood the true intentions of the other party, you should not have seen me, how should you live in the future, there are some spirit stones and cultivation exercises, and the right should be your reward." ”

Li Ke took the storage bag handed over by Lu Chen, his eyes were slightly red, and he made a big gift very solemnly.

After Lu Chen left, Li Ke's divine sense swept over the storage bag, and he was stunned, there were a thousand superb spirit stones in the storage bag, as well as several extremely precious spell powers.

Li Ke clenched his fists and said secretly, "Senior, junior must work hard to cultivate and live up to your expectations." ”

......

In the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Su Rongtian had a gloomy face, and in front of him stood a late-stage cultivator, this person's name was Li Tong, who was a loose cultivator he recruited, and now he was his confidant.

"City Lord, we have been following that Jindan junior for several days, but we have found nothing, and the monk named Lu Chen has not shown up. Li Tong said.

Su Rongtian didn't say a word, and after a while, he spoke, "I think, Lu Chen already knew that you were following that junior, and he was alert, so he didn't show up." ”

Li Tong asked, "......Do you want that Jindan junior?"

Su Rongtian waved his hand and said, "It's just a lowest-level monk, don't embarrass him, if it comes out, it will damage the positive image I have always established, and in addition, Lu Chen is quietly wanted everywhere in the city!"

Li Tong nodded and respectfully withdrew.
