"Stop it."
Just when everyone was wondering how long Long Xiangtian and Lu Qing would fight, suddenly a ray of light fell and separated Long Xiangtian and Lu Qing. It was Du Chun who took action.
"Master Lu, now that you've made enough noise and fought, it's time to speak openly. Or is it that an eighth-grade Nascent Profound Realm student cannot beat a third-grade Nascent Profound Realm student from our academy, and that has made you speechless?"
Du Chun is already a little angry now. Lu Zhongsi could obviously stop Lu Qing, but he repeatedly indulged Lu Qing's mischief. It was obvious that he wanted to use Lu Qing to suppress the arrogance of their martial arts academy.
"President Du is joking."
Lu Zhongsi's expression has become much uglier now. He thought that Lu Qing would definitely win over Long Xiangtian, but he didn't expect that the two of them would fight for such a long time.
Now Du Chun used this to ridicule him again, how could he not be angry? But even so, he couldn't show it, after all, Du Chun's status was not something he could afford to offend.
"We don't have any demands. It's just a matter of life for life, according to the rules of the martial arts world."
In fact, Lu Zhongsi didn't really want Long Xiangtian's life, and he knew that Du Chun would never agree. However, he just wanted to bargain with the Martial Arts Academy to maximize the benefits for his family.
As expected, Du Chun rejected Lu Zhongsi's absurd request without even thinking about it.
"Everyone, I invited you here today to seek justice for my Lu family. You have also seen that Long Xiangtian's cultivation is very abnormal. He must have used some improper evil magic. The ghostly shadow is the most direct evidence."
Lu Zhongsi knew very well that the ghostly shadow on Long Xiangtian was not some kind of evil magic, but at this moment all he needed was the help of the people around him to mislead the onlookers' thoughts.
Although the people around him had different levels of cultivation, they all had one thing in common, that is, they were all the people in power in the forces near Jiutian City.
Apart from other things, these people have great reputation and prestige. With their instigation, this matter will be twice as easy to achieve.
Of course, no one would want to offend the Martial Arts Academy for no reason. Lu Zhongsi also promised them a lot of benefits, which made them willing to come with him.
"Patriarch Lu's words make sense. How could Long Xiangtian have such a high level of cultivation at such a young age? It's naturally abnormal."
"I think he might have practiced some kind of bloodthirsty martial arts, which is why he killed nephew Lu Le. I guess what he said before was just an excuse."
"Um-"
Lu Zhongsi nodded. It seemed that the people he found were quite reliable.
"I don't think Long Xiangtian is a bad guy."
"Um... what?"
When Lu Zhongsi saw that someone else spoke, he thought that someone was still slandering Long Xiangtian, but he didn't expect that someone was actually questioning what he said.
"I see that the ghostly shadow of Long Xiangtian does not have any deadly aura or resentment, so it should not be the result of refining."
"As for cultivation, I heard that this little brother Long is the senior brother of the Martial Arts Academy. As a genius, his cultivation is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary people. How could he be as unbearable as you, Patriarch Lu, said?"
"You...what are you talking about?"
Lu Zhongsi looked at the person who was speaking, it turned out to be Jiangming City Lord Jiang Zishu. Jiang Zishu had clearly agreed with the driver that he would use ten low-grade earth-grade pills to help him, so why was he now speaking well of Long Xiangtian
Lu Zhongsi was suddenly confused. Could it be that Jiang Zishu had colluded with Long Xiangtian to trick him? But Long Xiangtian didn't know about his plan beforehand.
Or is Lu Zhongsi planning to set a trap for Long Xiangtian later? After all, the higher you praise someone, the worse he will fall in the end.
But Jiang Zishu's next words almost pissed off Lu Zhongsi: "Master Lu, you originally promised me ten low-grade earth-grade elixirs so that I could help you punish a lawless and bloodthirsty person, but I don't think Brother Long is like what you said."
"Master Lu, you are not deliberately deceiving me, are you?" Jiang Zishu suddenly seemed to have realized something and murmured, "I see, Master Lu, you are bribing me to help you frame someone."
After saying this, he looked as if he had said something wrong and immediately shut his mouth. At the same time, he looked at the people around him who had accompanied Lu Zhongsi with a strange look, as if they were the ones who had been bribed.
"What's going on? Wasn't City Lord Jiang invited by Patriarch Lu to help? Why did he turn against his allies at the last minute?"
"How would I know this? But I don't think Long Xiangtian is as bad as Patriarch Lu said. I'm afraid the remaining big shots have all taken their things."
"..."
As Jiang Zishu "suddenly realized", the conversation of the onlookers collectively turned to Lu Zhongsi, and Lu Zhongsi's bribery also caused quite a stir.
"You...what are you talking about!"
Lu Zhongsi and the remaining big shots were feeling extremely embarrassed and angry, especially Lu Zhongsi, who even wanted to kill Jiang Zishu at this moment.
Lu Zhongsi had indeed told Jiang Zishu before that he was here to punish a bloodthirsty man, but they were all old foxes in high positions, and everyone knew the specific deep meaning of these words.
Lu Zhongsi didn't believe that Jiang Zishu didn't know, nor did he believe that Jiang Zishu wanted to help Long Xiangtian on a whim. In his opinion, Jiang Zishu must have been colluding with Long Xiangtian to fool him.
However, even if Lu Zhongsi wanted to kill Jiang Zishu, it was too late. At this time, Jiang Zishu had already stood beside Long Xiangtian without him noticing, and Lu Zhongsi was powerless in front of everyone.
But this kind of thing is difficult to explain, and if you are not careful it will arouse more people's suspicion.
"President Du, I am Jiang Zishu, a junior. I have long heard of your great name." At this time, Jiang Zishu had already started chatting with Du Chun.
"Mr. Jiang's son is truly extraordinary."
At this moment, Du Chun looked at Lu Zhongsi's face, which looked like he had eaten a bug, and he felt happy and relieved.
In fact, although he knew very well about what Jiang Zishu said about bribery, even if he knew it, it would not be convincing if he exposed it.
But Jiang Zishu is completely different. Given his identity, it is easier for people to believe what he says.
At the same time, Jiang Zishu was also a little curious about when this kid Long Xiangtian got involved with Jiang Zishu.
Could it be that Long Xiangtian was not at the academy during that period, but actually went to Jiang Mingcheng? Speaking of which, the time when Long Xiangtian disappeared was also the time when Jiang Mingcheng was in turmoil. Could these two things be related
