Taihuang Star Seal

"Just now, when the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion, together with the strong men from the Zhou and Lu families, surrounded the Luo Mansion, they were still under the banner of 'eliminating traitors for the country and eliminating harm for the people'."

"How come in the blink of an eye, the city lord personally jumped out to clear the name of Luo Mansion?"

"They also convicted Zhou and Lu of crimes."

"What the hell is going on?"

The people of Tieyan City could never have imagined that Xiao Zhenxiong, the lord of the city, was actually being manipulated by Ding Chen to speak...

In fact, the reason why Ding Chen took so much pains to use the "Thirteen Soul Control Needles" to control Xiao Zhenxiong and say such words in broad daylight was all for the Luo family!

If Ding Chen only considered himself, he wouldn't have to endure Xiao Zhenxiong's crazy beatings for more than a hundred times, risking injury, and making things so complicated.

He could easily stab Xiao Zhenxiong's vital point with the first needle when he was off guard and kill him instantly!

Then, taking advantage of the cover of night, he slipped away.

With his current cultivation level of the "ninth level of the Awakening Meridians Realm", he already possesses a good ability to protect himself.

Even if he was wanted by the Daqian Dynasty afterwards.

The world is so big that finding Ding Chen is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack!

However, Ding Chen never expected that even though he had done his best to help the Luo family solve their problems, he still couldn't prevent Nangong Qiuyu from "stealing the house".

……

"In the mining competition, the Luo family is right!"

"The crime lies with the Zhou and Lu clans!"

The sudden loud shouting and mysterious sound that came into their ears frightened Zhou Longhai and Lu Xingwu so much that they almost dropped the knives in their hands!

The two of them looked as pale as paper: "How, how could this happen?"

"Why did the city lord suddenly identify us as thieves?!"

Xiao Da, who was standing by, was also horrified: "This is indeed the voice of the city lord."

"But why did he... go to this extent?!"

At this point in the fighting, all the members of the Luo family, whose morale had already fallen to the bottom and most of them had been injured, felt as if they had finally seen the light of day!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Luo Haoyuan was half-kneeling on the ground at this time, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood, and was seriously injured.

The situation of the rest of the Luo family wasn't much better.

Although City Lord Xiao's words, to some extent, can be regarded as vindication for them.

But the price they paid for it was already quite heavy!

There are thousands of family members, but only about a hundred are still alive.

Even so, they were all injured, and quite a few even had broken arms and legs...

"Ding Chen saved my life."

Suddenly, Xiao Zhenxiong, who was standing in front of the training room in the City Lord's Mansion, spoke again, his voice like thunder: "I will give him my sword as a thank you gift!"

"Next, the city lord will be in seclusion for a month to consolidate his cultivation. No one is allowed to disturb him!"

After saying this, Xiao Zhenxiong turned around without looking back and closed the door.

It was not until the heavy iron door slammed shut that everyone in the City Lord's Mansion came to their senses.

"The Lord City Lord... is willing to give his sword to Ding Chen?"

"This Golden Feathered Flying Eagle Sword is not only a 'mid-grade treasure', but also a souvenir from when you first ascended to the position of city lord. It has extraordinary significance."

The old housekeeper couldn't help but sigh: "From this, we can see how grateful the master is to Master Ding!"

"In my opinion, if it weren't for the fact that the government had to purchase alchemy materials several times before, which resulted in an empty treasury and a lot of foreign debts..."

"The reward that the master will pay Ding Chen will be even more generous!"

"Since the Lord City Lord has such an attitude, we, the servants, should be of one mind with the Lord and receive Mr. Ding with the highest standards."

"Well, that's as it should be..."

For a moment, everyone in the City Lord's Mansion smiled at Ding Chen in a kind and slightly flattering manner.

Only the adjutant in the City Lord's Mansion had a worried look on his face: "The City Lord has gone into seclusion like this, and he has been in seclusion for a month."

"From now on, what will happen to the many political affairs of Tieyan City?"

At the same time, in the training room.

Xiao Zhenxiong, who had just been singing in front of everyone and showing off his power, suddenly had his pupils turn gray.

Then, he fell to the ground with a thump.

At this point, Xiao Zhenxiong's last ray of life, which was forcibly locked by Ding Chen, was completely cut off...

Who could have thought that the powerful Nascent Soul Realm expert who had appeared in public just a second ago would die in his own secret training room?

Wait until a month later.

Even if someone broke into the training room and saw Xiao Zhenxiong's body, they would most likely not connect his death with Ding Chen.

They would only regard Sima Zhong, the "master of Lingdan Building" who was also in the secret room, as the biggest suspect...

At this time, in the Luo Mansion.

Xiao Da, who was coerced and bribed by Nangong Qiuyu and joined forces with the Zhou and Lu families to secretly send troops to destroy the Luo Mansion, had a changing expression for a while.

Finally, his eyes suddenly became stern: "Damn it, now that things have come to this, it's no longer realistic to think of any way to make amends!"

"Let's just go all out and get rid of all the remaining guys in Luo Mansion!"

"Even if the city lord who came out of seclusion blames us a month later, we have an excuse to say that we didn't have time to stop."

After hearing what he said, Lu Xingwu and Zhou Longhai's eyes lit up: "Not bad!"

"The Lord City Lord just mentioned the matter of 'seclusion for a month' by pouring his profound voice into his throat, as if he was afraid that others would not hear it."

"In my opinion, the city lord's words are clearly meant for us to hear!"

"This is exactly how he turned a blind eye to our actions to destroy the Luo Mansion!"

"As long as we act quickly and thoroughly enough without leaving any hidden dangers, the city lord will not pursue the matter."

"After a month, this matter will be forgotten as time goes by!"

In fact, even if Xiao Da didn't take the lead, Lu Xingwu and Zhou Longhai would have reached this step on their own.

On the one hand, it is unlikely that Xiao Zhenxiong would vent his anger on his two "cash cows" because of a clan whose existence has been exterminated.

That’s right, both the Lu family and the Zhou family are actually “cash cows” in the hands of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Do you want to mine and do business?

You have to show respect to the City Lord’s Mansion first!

The more you mine, the more "tribute" you will pay...

For this kind of gray income, Xiao Zhenxiong has to take certain risks every time he collects it!

It is not easy to cultivate a few trustworthy "cash cows" during the city lord's tenure.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, Xiao Zhenxiong would definitely not bother to abandon the old and establish the new.

on the other hand.

The huge benefits that Gong Qiuyu had promised to Zhou Longhai and Lu Xingwu were indeed tempting enough!

Moreover, that incredibly strong woman said it very clearly at the time: If the job is done well, there will be a reward.

But if it fails...

What awaits them will surely be an unprecedented disaster!

This also applies to Xiao Da.

As a result, the three parties who were in cahoots with each other hit it off immediately.

Raised the butcher knife again!

"You dare?!"

Luo Haoyuan roared.

At this time, he was seriously injured and had no strength left.

Xiao Da laughed grimly and said, "Hehe, then open your dog eyes wide and see if I dare or not?!"

Lu Xingwu said angrily, "What annoys me the most is that Ding Chen, that scumbag and useless son-in-law, can actually be loved by City Lord Xiao?"

"The city lord even gave me his sword as a gift..."

"That guy has the city lord backing him up. It will be difficult to touch him in the future!"

Zhou Longhai, who was standing by, gnashed his teeth when he heard this: "If Ding Chen was here, I would cut him into pieces to pay for my dead son's death!"

At this moment, a figure suddenly came from the west of Luo Mansion.

He held a sword in his hand and swooped down like a meteor!

The person who brought this sword from the west was Ding Chen...
