“He shouldn’t be a demon. After all, Graphite City belongs to the righteous forces.”

A priest analyzed, “I’m afraid someone has already gone to test it, we just need to wait and see the result.

and.

People from the Shimo City Lord’s Mansion will surely come to visit as well.”

“That’s it, be cautious.”

The head of the Sun family was mature and prudent and made a decision.

A few hours later, Zheng Yi took a short rest in the mansion and practiced the Nine Yin Returning to Life Technique.

Although it was only a moment and the pure spiritual energy that had just been transformed was completely consumed, there was no regret in Zheng Yi’s eyes, but rather he was very satisfied.

Although the amount of pure spiritual energy was not large, its quality was greatly improved, which made his cultivation speed faster.

Although the improvement is not significant, it is relatively easy to obtain and is a good opportunity for him.

Just as Zheng Yi was thinking, he sensed a strange aura approaching the mansion.

He went out one step ahead to greet the visitor.

“This junior Xie Sheng greets you. I am here today to be included in the roster of the City Lord’s Mansion.”

Xie Sheng was dressed in a long green gown, like a scholar, holding the four treasures of the study in his hands. He had a kind look and no trace of arrogance on his face.

At the hospitality of Zheng Yi.

He entered the mansion.

After asking a few simple questions, Xie Sheng became closer to Zheng Yi and said, “So you are the Zheng family of the Dragon Blood Mine. I believe you have your support.

The family will surely stand out in this Graphite City.”

The two exchanged greetings for a while, and Xie Sheng left quickly after completing his task.

He was only at the Qi Refining Stage, and only thanks to his job at the City Lord’s Mansion did he have the opportunity to meet Zheng Yi.

In front of people with high cultivation.

His mentality was always tense.

Zheng Yi looked at Xie Sheng’s departing back and smiled slightly.

I thought that the efficiency of the Graphite City Lord’s Mansion was quite good.

As the people from the City Lord’s Mansion returned, Zheng Yi’s background was also discovered by the gossipers in the city.

After learning that Zheng Yi came from an unknown family, many people in the city breathed a sigh of relief.

however.

The situation at the Lu family seems a little unusual.

It was still the meeting room during the day, but now it was approaching evening and the sky was gradually getting darker, revealing a hint of black.

The head of the Lu family had a stern look and a solemn expression.

He looked at the many elders around him and expressed his doubts: “The Zheng family of the Dragon Blood Mine, if this family head remembers correctly, this Dragon Blood Mine seems to be related to Hongchenfang.”

One of the elders.

It seemed that he had dealt with the Dragon Blood Mine and other cultivators before. After hearing what the Patriarch said, he said directly: “The Patriarch is right. The Dragon Blood Mine is exactly what Hongchenfang operates.

Although it is not the same puppet lineage that we fought a few days ago, it is absolutely true.”

“Is it possible…”

Upon hearing this, the head of the Lu family looked even more solemn, “It’s not just this puppet lineage that’s targeting our Graphite City this time?
Even people from other branches of Hongchenfang are here?”

When the head of the Lu family thought of this speculation, he felt that a storm was about to come.

How could a small graphite city be worth such a big fuss?

After handling family affairs, the head of the Lu family returned to the main room and asked the servants around him: “How is the young lady?”

The servant did not dare to hide it and quickly replied: “Since the young lady returned to the family, she has lost her appetite.

Although the injuries have been healed by the alchemist, the condition is still not good. “

“Never mind, give her some time.

She’ll figure it out.”

A hint of tenderness flashed in the eyes of the head of the Lu family.

Today, the Lu family is facing internal and external troubles, although the ancestor has returned safely.

The situation is better than that of the Sun family, but not only did they fail to obtain the Soul-Devouring Grass King, but now the situation in Graphite City has changed suddenly. What will the Lu family do in the future?

Even he, the head of the family, had no clue.

Matters between the younger generations can only be put aside for the time being.

After all, what if the Lu family is gone?

He, his father, his daughter, and his entire family would be nothing.

Personal honor and disgrace are indeed insignificant in the face of family.

The head of the Lu family thought to himself.

His eyes unconsciously fell on the portrait in his hand, and the person in the portrait was Zheng Yi.

A new Foundation Establishment cultivator arrived in Graphite City.

Naturally, all forces in the city would circulate this person’s portrait to avoid the embarrassing situation of “the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and family members didn’t recognize each other.”

It only adds to the trouble.

Especially in the Lu family, if Zheng Yi in the portrait could really be a member of Hongchenfang, then the Lu family must not have a conflict with him, otherwise they would be the first to be shot.

While the honor, disgrace and safety of Graphite City are still unclear, the Lu family is likely to be wiped out first.

The Lu family would never allow such a thing to happen.

Soon, this portrait was circulated among the disciples of the Lu family.

The disciples of the Lu family were no longer surprised by such things.

After all, there are about ten Foundation Establishment cultivators in Graphite City, but there are only the Lu and Sun families.

These two businesses have been operating in the city for many years and have a deep foundation.

When the portrait was passed to Lu Xiang.

She was in her boudoir.

Seeing this, the maids who served her all knelt down and begged, “Miss, if you don’t eat again and the housekeeper finds out, we will be in trouble.

Please, just eat a little bit.”

All the maids knelt down on the ground at once, their hearts filled with worry.

They knew that if anything happened to Miss Lu Xiang.

These maids will definitely not have a good ending in the future.

Just like in Miss Lu Xiang’s courtyard now, those personal attendants who used to follow Lu Bingran have not been dismissed yet, because the Lu family has not yet found Lu Bingran’s whereabouts.

Live to see people, die to see corpses.

But if they still can’t find the new person, after a few months, these old people in Miss Lu’s courtyard will naturally be reallocated by the family to serve the new person.

One emperor and one courtier.

These “old ministers” would definitely have a hard time if they went somewhere else.

The same goes for if something happens to Miss Lu Xiang.

Their situation will be just as difficult.

“Got it. I won’t embarrass you.”

Lu Xiang picked up the fruit and took small bites.

The maids beside them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.

Lu Xiang glanced at the objects around her intentionally or unintentionally, and soon her eyes fell on the portrait.

She paused for a moment and asked in a trembling voice, “Who is this person?”

She asked knowingly.

Seeing this, the maids could only tell the truth: “Miss, this is a new Foundation Establishment senior in the city, and he has already been reported to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Early this morning.

The head of the family has circulated this portrait throughout the Lu family, and warned them not to offend this foundation-building senior. “

Hearing this, Lu Xiang’s mind turned, and her eyes gradually brightened: “Foundation Building Realm… He is lying to me! Is his last name Zheng?”

Lu Xiang asked again. The maid was stunned for a moment, and then answered uncertainly after a while: “It seems that he is indeed from the Zheng family.”

next moment.

Lu Xiang was seen holding a fruit in her mouth, grabbing the portrait, and running quickly outside the Lu family, followed by two guards.

Seeing that she had no intention of leaving the city, the guards just followed her closely without stopping her.

After leaving the Lu family, although Lu Xiang was very familiar with Graphite City, she did not know where Zheng Yi lived.

After asking the guards around him.

She just found out.

Immediately afterwards, there was a rapid knock on the door.

Just like beating a child on a rainy day, he slammed the door without caring about anything, accompanied by Lu Xiang’s crying voice: “You scoundrel, you lied to me! You actually lied to me!

You are clearly at the foundation-building stage, why do you say you are not?

What else did you discover in that narrow canyon?
Is my sister still alive?”

At this moment, Lu Xiang couldn’t care about anything.

Fortunately, there were not many people around the house where Zheng Yi lived.

In addition, there were two guards following her, so there would be no one lingering around.

however.

No matter how hard she knocked on the door, she couldn’t break through the formation set up by Zheng Yi outside.

After a long time, Lu Xiang sat weakly on the ground, and became as helpless as before. She felt that the world was so big, but there was no place for her to stay.

Upon seeing this, the two guards stepped forward to comfort her, “Miss, this is the residence of the foundation-building senior. If you don’t bring a name card, you can’t enter.

Miss, let’s go back first.”

“no I do not!”

Lu Xiang raised her head stubbornly, tears streaming down her red eyes, hot tears sliding down from the corners of her eyes, dropping to the ground with a patter, “I know you can hear it, you can definitely hear it!

The Foundation Establishment Stage is very powerful, how is it possible that he doesn’t even notice such a small movement?

You just don’t want to see me, is it so difficult to give me an answer?”

“But why should I waste my time giving you this answer?”

The door in front of him slowly opened and Zheng Yi walked out.

He has a handsome face, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a knife-like face and a high jawline, all of which reveal his extraordinary handsomeness.

He walked slowly towards the three of them with steady steps.

Zheng Yi raised his right hand and placed it three feet in front of him, with a calm look on his face, and said slowly: “The matter of Yixiantian Canyon involves the Lu family and the Sun family.

There are also the Jindan Demonic forces and the various parties in Hongchenfang.

Do I have to get involved in this mess just because of a woman’s questioning?”

Zheng Yi responded like this.

Lu Xiang was stunned and couldn’t speak for a long time.

After thinking about it carefully, Zheng Yi really had no obligation to help her, which left her speechless.

“Then go back.”

Zheng Yi waved his hand and ordered them to leave.

Just as Zheng Yi was about to turn around and leave, Lu Xiang, who was sitting on the ground, rolled her eyes, as if she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly shouted anxiously: “If the Zheng family wants to develop smoothly in Graphite City, if they can get the help of my Lu family, they will surely be able to advance smoothly and be more successful.

I believe that even if you are not the head of the Zheng family, you must be a person of great importance in the Zheng family.

If this can be accomplished, it will be of great benefit to you, Senior.”

this moment.

The IQ of the second young lady of the Lu family is finally up to par.

I wanted Zheng Yi’s help without any evidence. There is no such thing in the world.

Now this is considered a barely acceptable transaction.

Zheng Yi pondered for a moment and was about to ask the head of the Lu family to come over to discuss cooperation with him, but then he changed his mind and thought that the fewer people who knew about the Yixiantian Canyon, the better.

Subsequently.

He waved his hand, and the spiritual pressure of the Foundation Establishment Realm instantly enveloped the three people in front of him.

When the three regained consciousness, they were already in Zheng Yi’s mansion.

The two guards immediately got into combat posture. Zheng Yi glanced at them and realized that with their limited skills, they were no match for Zheng Yi’s spiritual pressure.

“If I wanted to attack you, do you think you could stop me?”

As Zheng Yi spoke, he sat down next to the neatly arranged tea set in front of him. The small stove was bubbling with the tea, and the tea lid was vibrating along with it.

The aroma of tea filled the air.

“Cooperation is fine, but what do you want?”

Zheng Yi asked.

Lu Xiang was still stubborn and spoke her mind directly: “Is my eldest sister alive?

You, the senior who has established the foundation.

We will be at the scene on that day, and we will definitely see the truth.”

Zheng Yi did not give an answer immediately, but first put forward his own conditions: “The three of you must not publicize the matter of the Yixiantian Canyon. Swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, and I will tell you.”

“no problem.”

Lu Xiang agreed without hesitation, and the two guards beside her had no choice but to do the same.

Wait until the three of them have finished their oath to heaven.

Zheng Yi took a sip of tea and said slowly: “Your sister is not dead. She hid in a secret place deep in the Yixiantian Canyon that day, but she was indeed seriously injured.

Now whether she lives or dies depends on her luck.

But don’t worry.

She was not captured by the people from Hongchenfang.”

After saying that, Zheng Yi stretched out his right hand, using his palm as a claw, and instantly came in front of Lu Xiang. He gently patted her left shoulder, and then quickly returned to his original position like a phantom.

Sit back in the attic.

Zheng Yi spoke again: “I just cast a blood curse on you, which was taught by a fellow practitioner.

If you fail to cooperate well with the Zheng family in the future, the price you will pay will not only be the enmity with the Lu family, but you, the second young lady of the Lu family, will probably die.

You may go now.”

As soon as Zheng Yi finished speaking, a large amount of cold air rushed forward and directly sent the three of them out of the mansion.

“My sister is not dead. She is still alive…”

Lu Xiang didn’t care about the blood curse on her body, and after a moment of trance.

Her face was filled with ecstasy and she kept whispering.

At the moment, Zheng Yi, who was in the mansion, had no intention of continuing to think about the Lu family’s affairs. Instead, he felt that the situation was a bit tricky.

I’m afraid the matter of the Soul-Eating Grass King can no longer be kept secret.

However, he was not worried about not being able to hide it from the people in Graphite City, but he was worried about Hongchenfang.

He only hoped that the Hongchenfang Huagu lineage was slightly stronger than the puppet lineage, and perhaps he could still find a way to get around it now.

He didn’t want to fight, but trouble seemed to keep coming.

……

Hongchenfang, as a demonic force stationed by a powerful Jindan master, is not located in a Feng Shui treasure land deep in the mountains, but hidden among the secular world, as the saying goes “the great hide in the city”.

This is the reason.

After losing the dragon blood mine, the members of the Huagu lineage followed Qin Liang back to another base of the Huagu lineage in Hongchenfang, which was very close to the Hongchenfang headquarters.

After a period of practice, Qin Liang took the last Qingling Pill and suddenly felt his mind clear, his body light, and an unprecedented sense of comfort filled every part of his body.

He has already reached the stage of perfect foundation building and can naturally strive for the crystallization stage.

However, although the foundation has been established, it is not completely complete, so the preliminary preparations still require some time and energy.

This last Qingling Pill must be taken at the right time to absorb the remaining medicinal power into the body. (End of this chapter)
