The guards of the City Lord's Mansion were quite dutiful and responsible. They did their best to punish the intruders who had suddenly entered the mansion. But the final result was predictable. The two people who flew out from the collapsed wall were just the beginning. By the time Wei Chao and Wei Yang rushed in with all the elites of the Canyon Peak Area, many people had already fallen in the yard. Lu Ping was standing among them and was questioning a random guard!
"I don't know …"
When Wei Chao and the others rushed forward, Lu Ping changed the way he asked the questions. Lu Ping asked a few more soldiers, and all of them got the same answer.
"Where is Wei Tianqi?" he asked.
There were many officials in the city lord's mansion, including the Wei family's guards. There were many powerful people among them, but Lu Ping didn't care about them. He just asked the city lord of the Canyon Peak District, who was the biggest city lord. Everything in the Canyon Peak Area was big or small. As long as the City Lord wanted to know, there would be no obstacle. This question went straight to the point.
"The City Lord is in seclusion now." In the entire Canyon Peak Area, or even the entire Xuan Army Empire, only Wei Chao and Wei Yang knew that Wei Tianqi, the City Lord of the Canyon Peak, was not in his mansion. They spread the news that he was in seclusion, and everyone knew it. The guard didn't think it was a secret, so he answered Lu Ping's question. Wei Chao and Wei Yang, who had just rushed into the yard, heard the conversation and felt like they were struck by lightning. They had just made up their minds to fight to the death, but things didn't go as they expected. Lu Ping didn't want to waste his breath on small fries like them. He immediately questioned Wei Tianqi.
Wei Tianqi … Wei Tianqi was not here at all. It was said that a person in seclusion could stop anyone in the Canyon Peak Area, but would Lu Ping say he would come another day just because Wei Tianqi was in seclusion?
Of course not!
"Where is he?" Lu Ping asked the second question.
"Shut up!" Wei Chao shouted harshly. The guard, who had almost blurted it out again, immediately kept quiet out of fear. However, the right hand that he used to match his words was raised halfway and pointed to the back of the courtyard.
Lu Ping didn't make things difficult for the guard. He threw him aside and looked at Wei Chao.
Wei Chao's expression was solemn as he mobilized the people around him. "Everyone, the City Lord is at a critical moment in his closed-door cultivation. We mustn't be disturbed by this scoundrel. We must stop him even if we have to risk our lives."
"You're right." Wei Yang, who was at the side, had already thought of how much trouble it would bring if the matter of Wei Tianqi not being in the residence was exposed, so he hurriedly agreed.
But before they could form a formation to stop him, Lu Ping's figure flashed, and he rushed towards the backyard. In the eyes of the "elites" of the Canyon Peak District, it was nothing more than a blur. Some people could see that Lu Ping had gone to the backyard, while others only felt that the person in front of them had suddenly disappeared.
"Don't let him get away!" Wei Chao shouted.
But after seeing Lu Ping's speed and seeing where he was going, the people all had some objections to Wei Chao's words.
Run? Who was running? He was clearly continuing to charge in, okay? Even if he really wanted to run, who could catch up with his speed? Who could stop him?
The group of people hurriedly chased in the direction that Lu Ping had gone. The defenses of the City Lord's residence had long since been activated by Wei Chao's orders. But along the way, all they saw were the wreckage of all kinds of mechanisms. The powerful custom-made mechanisms that were said to be able to trap a Four Physical Forces cultivator didn't even cause Lu Ping any delay before he broke through them.
Their footsteps gradually became sluggish. Lu Ping's strength surpassed their imaginations. The destruction he left behind told them this. Everyone started to feel guilty. As cultivators, they knew that the difference in strength could not be made up for with numbers. Especially after seeing Lu Ping's speed, they didn't need to think of sacrificing a large number of people to wear him down and tire him to death. If people felt that they couldn't hold on, couldn't they just run?
But for Wei Chao and Wei Yang, they had no way out. They had to brace themselves and fight. But at this time, Lu Ping didn't bother to deal with them. He charged straight in, rushing through layers of obstacles. They hurriedly chased after him, but they didn't even see a shadow. When the two sides met again, Lu Ping had already walked out of the cultivation room that Wei Tianqi was "in seclusion." His face was somewhat dazed.
"He ran pretty fast," Lu Ping said with some regret when he saw a large group of people enter.
Seeing the door open but no one inside the cultivation room, Wei Chao and Wei Yang's faces paled. But they didn't forget to attack first. "What did you do to the City Lord?!"
"He didn't do anything. Where did he run to?" Lu Ping casually grabbed a guard that he had knocked outside the door and asked.
This guard was shocked. He was guarding the door of the City Lord's cultivation room, forbidding anyone other than Wei Chao and Wei Yang from disturbing the City Lord's seclusion. When Lu Ping barged in, he obviously had to stop him. There was no doubt that he would be knocked down. But after Lu Ping barged in, he didn't see Wei Tianqi.
"I don't know!" This guard didn't think that Wei Tianqi wasn't inside at all. He just thought that the City Lord was very resourceful and used some method to escape. His answer finally made the alarmed Wei Chao and Wei Yang heave a sigh of relief. The matter that the City Lord wasn't in the residence was still being covered up for the time being.
"Did you see it?" Lu Ping tossed the guard aside and asked the other guard.
This guard was loyal and unyielding. He gritted his teeth and didn't answer Lu Ping's question.
"That's strange." Lu Ping muttered. All the elites in the Gorge Peak District were gritting their teeth and standing a few meters away from him, but he turned around and walked back into the cultivation room as if there was no one around him.
"There isn't any other exit in this room!" He looked around the room and began to search. He even lifted the tablecloth that was draped over the table and began to search for Wei Tianqi under the table.
Wei Chao and Wei Yang's hearts were in their mouths again. They didn't have time to do anything. Countless faces around them showed puzzled expressions.
The two guards didn't look like they were hiding anything. There was no other exit in the cultivation room. So did Wei Tianqi, who had been cultivating in seclusion, disappear into thin air?
"It's the Invisibility Technique! The City Lord has mastered it!! "Wei Yang could be said to be quick-witted and blurted out such a sentence.
But the people around him were not fools. They were the smartest and most capable people in the entire Gorge Peak District. Wei Yang's explanation was so obvious that how many people couldn't hear it? At first, no one really thought in the direction that Wei Chao and Wei Yang were worried about. But after this forced explanation, everyone's eyes suddenly fell on Wei Yang. The only one who really took Wei Yang's words seriously was Lu Ping. Hearing the words "Invisibility Spell", Perception Breaker searched the inside and outside of the house even more seriously, but of course, he didn't find anyone invisible. When he turned to look at the pursuers again, he found that he was no longer the focus of attention.
