The two elders died with smiles on their faces. Lu Bei had met one of them before. His name was Wei Hong. He gave a speech on behalf of the Huangji Sect during the Iron Sword Conference and gave a good lesson to the sword practitioners present.
He has good methods and is even better at talking nonsense. He is a ruthless person who can speak for two hours without a script.
Ignoring his chatterbox nature, Wei Hong has reached the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm, and is stationed in Yuezhou under the order of the Council of Elders, so his abilities cannot be too bad.
He was killed together with another elder. It was so fast and silent that it could not be detected. Lin Buyan could not have done it with his abilities.
Even if he is given a powerful position, it won't work.
Therefore, the possibility that Lin Buyan committed the crime was ruled out first.
But this is not the point. Although the means of framing are crude, the purpose has been achieved. If the mud falls off the crotch of pants, it is either that or that. Even if Lin Buyan has a hundred mouths, he can't explain it clearly.
Especially at this critical juncture, if Lin Buyan says that he is innocent, the Huangji Sect must believe it!
Moreover, Lin Buyan's inability to do it does not mean that Lu Bei cannot do it. Among his many battle achievements, he killed Le Xian, the Nine Swords Elder, and Bu Zishi, the Grand Elder of the Huangji Sect. It was as easy as pie to kill two Void Refinement Realm masters.
Lin Buyan's scalp tingled, knowing that this was the work of the Tianjian Sect, but he couldn't understand why. There was no news about the meeting with the two elders, and even the four deans didn't know about it, so how did the Tianjian Sect know about it
Lu Bei secretly felt a headache. His intuition was correct. Yuezhou was too quiet and something was indeed seriously wrong.
Also, he shouldn't have come today. Lin Buyan's swordsmanship level is average and he can't take the blame for killing two elders. He has to wear this pair of pants covered with yellow mud whether he wants to or not.
"Damn it, who is it?!"
Lu Bei pulled Lin Buyan, took a step forward, left Hongyue Tower, and headed straight for Beijun Mountain.
After a moment, he returned to the spot and looked around to see if there were any suspicious people.
It is said that he also heard from others that criminals would return to the scene after they succeeded, admire their achievements, and collect intelligence to fill in the gaps so that they can continue to commit crimes next time.
No suspicious persons were found, and the surroundings were deserted. No one had noticed the cold bodies and minds of the two elders.
Lu Bei waited there until a manager from the Huangji Sect arrived. Hongyue Tower was sealed off and no suspicious people appeared around it.
If we have to say there is one, he and Lin Buyan are the most suspicious.
…
Zhanchi County.
The boat on the lake floats, and under the bright sunshine, ripples appear on the water.
The cruise ship may look ordinary, but it actually has a huge space inside. On the lower four floors, rows of men in black are sitting in silence. On the middle floor, several doors are closed, and there are monks sitting cross-legged in meditation, quietly waiting for orders.
On the top floor, two men and one woman were watching the water curtain.
If Lu Bei was present, he would be able to recognize one of them. Although he had never seen the real person, he would recognize the face.
Tianjian Sect, Nine Swords Elder, Wu Chengyi.
The other two, the man is tall and the woman is pretty, both have looks and temperament that are one in a million, and can be described as rare talents.
"This person is only at the Void Refinement Realm, but he can defeat those at the Fusion Realm. Elder Wu, you, Qingqian, have invested in many up-and-coming talents, but you missed this person. The intelligence on you is really worrying." The man said slowly.
Wu Chengyi did not respond, but clasped his fists and said with a smile: "I have to thank you for this matter, Your Majesty. Without your help, how could we have caught Lin Buyan?"
"I, Xiong Chu, do have some connections in Yuezhou, but they are still inferior to those of Xuanyinsi..."
The man looked at the pretty boy in the water curtain and said, "This guy is quite cautious. If he wasn't at a lower level, he would have seen through my tricks."
"Your Majesty is right, a reckless man..."
Wu Chengyi responded with a smile, but stopped talking halfway because Lu Bei was staring at him in the water curtain, his eyes flashing with golden light, as if he was facing him across a space.
The moment their eyes met, Wu Chengyi's heart tightened and he almost couldn't breathe.
What kind of magical power is this that can actually see through the void and make me feel so pressured
Wu Chengyi was shocked to find the sword intent in his body trembling, as if it had been provoked. But he did not think much about it. Having never experienced the immortal sword intent, he really thought that the abnormal sword intent in his body was a provocation.
"Oh no, he saw it."
The man waved his hand to sweep away the water curtain, a cloud of water mist dispersed, and the entire cruise ship disappeared without a trace, hiding in another space.
Golden light was everywhere, Lu Bei stood above the lake, his golden eyes scanning the surroundings.
He raised his right hand, his fingertips intertwined with the immortal sword intent, sweeping across the shimmering lake surface, dividing the lake water and making it still.
Although the lake had waves, they were like a dead object, with the cross-sections separated by a wall of air and unable to converge for a long time.
Lu Bei didn't give up yet. He raised his sword and fist and brought it down, piercing through the void in front of him and looking inside.
Still nothing.
He was suspended in mid-air, his eyes gleaming with golden light, and he reached out and grabbed a handful of wind and put it under his nose.
"What a sexy rouge, it has covered up the fishy smell. I wonder which prostitute opened the door to convenience without notifying Lin."
Lu Bei looked around, curled his lips, and said, "What a pity. Lin has plenty of money. If you had informed me in advance, I would have been a benefactor and loved you well for a few nights."
As the words fell, one could hear a pin drop in the hidden space.
Wu Chengyi lowered his head and clasped his hands. The man looked at his nose and his heart, pretending he heard nothing.
The woman's sword-like eyebrows twitched, and she turned to look at the man: "Brother Shi, this man is full of foul language, not like a son of man, can I kill him?"
"If you can, go ahead. If you can't..."
The man clenched his fist and coughed twice: "The overall situation is more important. Don't forget that you and I have a mission on this trip. It is not appropriate to expose it."
The woman fell silent upon hearing this, closed her senses, and tried to ignore it.
The two were from Xiongchu, surnamed Gu, and were of royal origin. They were invited by Qingqian to come to Wuzhou to collect folk songs and appreciate the moon. If they had time, they could also look at the terrain and consider which Feng Shui treasure land could be used to build a temporary palace.
To put it bluntly, Xiong Chu and Qing Qian have established an unbreakable and firm alliance. The two were ordered to arrive in Yuezhou and, if possible, seize the important areas of Yuezhou while the chaos is going on and allow Xiong Chu's army to enter the country.
Wu Chengyi knew everything about this matter, but what he didn't know was that the reason Xiong Chu accepted the invitation so easily was that he had another important matter to deal with.
Black candle bow.
Great news! There is news about the long-missing Xuanzhu Bow, one of the three great artifacts of the Xiongchu royal family.
Some time ago, the aura of a divine weapon spread throughout the Wu Zhou territory, attracting the strong attention of the royal family of Xiong Chu, who were just waiting for a good opportunity to enter Wu Zhou.
This time it was good. With the help of Tianjian Sect, the entry was very smooth and was not noticed by Huangji Sect and Xuanyinsi.
How to retrieve the Xuanzhu Bow is a troublesome matter, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it must not be discovered by the Wu Zhou royal family, otherwise...
It is a shame to say that along with the Xuanzhu bow, three Fengque arrows were also lost. They were once hidden in the secret treasury of the Wu Zhou royal family. In order to get these three magical arrows, Xiong Chu spent a lot of effort and even gave away a married princess.
Later, the three magic arrows disappeared along with the Xuanzhu bow. The princess who married into Wu Zhou has been in seclusion until now, which can be said to be a loss of both the wife and the army.
Faced with this unsolved case, Xiong Chu felt that Wu Zhou was not a decent person. Not only did she find the lost property, but she also shamelessly stole other people's treasures. Wu Zhou thought that Xiong Chu was blaming others for her own mistakes. He only talked nonsense and farted. He also treated the princess who married out coldly.
The royal families on both sides have been arguing a lot, and neither of them admits that they are cheating on each other, but they all have some speculations.
The real murderer was someone else, who cheated both families at once.
Who exactly is it…
I've been checking and haven't stopped.
"Go out and ask around. What girl doesn't know Lin's abilities? He's very skilled. You deserve him. If you open the door now, I guarantee you'll make money and have fun..."
Lu Bei made a lot of noises for half an hour, his mouth was dry and his tongue was parched. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he snorted coldly and continued talking.
This time let's do something practical, bringing the owner of Rouge Smell into the female lead, he is in charge of the male lead, and tells several stories about the lack of small umbrellas on rainy days.
Inside the space, the man had closed his senses. Wu Chengyi had not, but he kept picking his feet, indicating that the art of language was vast and profound, and he had learned a lot today.
"Okay, you're so ruthless. I give in!"
Lu Bei communicated with the other party through the air for a long while, and was deeply impressed by the other party's skill in cultivating his energy. He threw down ten taels of silver notes, turned around and left.
"This is a reward. You have served me well. I will come to see you tomorrow."
Bang!
The lake was covered with huge waves and the ten taels of silver were smashed to pieces.
The woman opened her eyes, revealing a cold murderous intent that froze half of the lake.
The man continued to close his senses. Wu Chengyi realized in time and thought it was all a trick. He said dryly, "Princess, you have also seen that Wu Zhou was so corrupt. This is also the reason why Qing Qian started the rebellion. It is not for anything else, but to give the people a bright and clear world."
After a cup of tea, Lu Bei returned and yelled at the air again: "It is said that a night of love is worth a hundred days of grace. We have been through this and that, so why don't you come out and meet me?"
"…" x3
Nothing more to say, just shut off your senses.
Lu Bei went back and forth, telling a few colorful stories each time. The main plots were almost the same, and there was nothing new except for the excitement. After a dozen rounds, the sky was full of stars, and he waved his hands, unable to speak any more.
"No, Lin is really out of stock."
Lu Bei shook his head repeatedly, sighing, "I thought she was a chaste woman, and she would come out after a few provocations. It seems that I thought too much. You are just roasting chicken, and the more you listen, the happier you are. You don't care about your reputation at all."
"Damn it, you fooled me. I should have noticed it the fourth time I galloped!"
Lu Bei said that people's hearts have changed, and that a pure man like him had once again been seduced by the evil woman. He left cursing, saying that the matter was not over yet and he would come back to continue cursing tomorrow.
Inside the space, the man did not put away his magic weapon because he was worried that Lu would come back endlessly.
The woman's patience had reached its limit. Her stunning face collapsed and she trembled as she said, "Brother Shi, put away the Hidden Heaven Map! Let me out. I want to kill him!!"
"… "
"Brother Shi?!"
"Don't look at me..."
The man pointed at Wu Chengyi with a helpless look on his face and said, "It was all Elder Wu's idea. He said that this man is an important helper for Lingxiao Sword Sect to contain Huangji Sect. He alone is comparable to the two Nine Sword Elders. The overall situation is more important!"
Wu Chengyi: “…”
I'm not, I didn't, I didn't say that.
