After the arrow hit its target.
The imperial court experts looked at Lu Zhou, who was hovering above Dazheng Palace, in awe.
At the same time, he looked in the direction where the thief had fallen and thought to himself, "Which idiot ran into the muzzle of a gun?
When Duanmu Sheng saw this, he said, "I'll take him down!"
After saying that, he flew over.
Lu Zhou put Unnamed away and looked at the imperial court elites around him. He said indifferently, "What are you waiting for? Could it be that you expect this old man to help you catch thieves? "
"Yes yes yes … I'll go now, I'll go now!"
The imperial court experts in the surroundings quickly scattered.
He immediately ordered, "Lock down the Imperial City. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Capture the assassin!"
Based on the sounds he heard earlier, there should be five aliens who had infiltrated the palace.
If the Imperial City was completely locked down and searched strictly, it shouldn't be difficult to capture them.
Shortly after, Duanmu Sheng returned with the Deep-eye Tribesman who was hit by the energy arrow.
He arrived in front of Dazheng Palace and tossed it to the ground.
Thump!
He let out a blood-curdling screech, and his eyes were filled with fear.
The others found this strange. How was he still alive after being shot by a Nine-leaf cultivator?
Everyone looked down and realized what had happened. The arrow had struck his abdomen, which meant that it had destroyed his dantian region and sea of energy. It was just that he had lost his cultivation, but it was not enough to kill him.
Lu Zhou landed slowly.
The others quickly landed as well.
Lu Zhou looked at the Deep-eye Tribesman …
Name: Lu Li
Identity: Deep-eye
Realm: Primordial Soul
…
"What's your name?"
Lu Li shrunk back. He did not answer the question. Instead, he said, "Y-you're not a Five-leaf cultivator?"
Duanmu Sheng frowned and kicked him.
Ouch —
After kicking the old man, Duanmu Sheng said sternly, "My master is already at the Nine-leaf stage. Are you insulting him?"
"N-Nine-leaf?" He shuddered.
Lu Zhou did not mind this. He continued to say, "Answer my question."
"Y-you're Old Villain Ji?!"
He had just reacted to this sentence.
Among the crowd, Zhu Honggong moved as though he was flying and threw a punch.
Bang!
The punch landed heavily on his chest.
Lu Li let out another scream.
Zhu Honggong raised his fist and cursed, "I'll give you a chance to rephrase your words."
Lu Li endured the pain and hurriedly said,
"My name is Lu Li. I'm from Rongbei's Deep-eye … I'm here to look for a box. It's said that the box contains the secrets of the Nine-leaf stage. I've brought four brothers. One is good at breaking formations, one is good at escaping, one is good at climbing, and one is good at night vision. I'm the captain, so I have a keen sense of smell. Don't kill me, I'll tell you everything … "
Zhu Honggong nodded. "Master, he has confessed everything. He's useless now. I'll crush him!"
"Stand down," Lu Zhou said.
"Uh … alright."
Zhu Honggong obediently retreated to the side.
Lu Zhou looked at Lu Li and asked, "The Deep-eye Tribe knows about the Nine-leaf stage as well?"
Lu Li said,
"About fifty years ago, there was an expert who came to our Deep Eye Sect. He said … he stayed in Great Yan's palace for a period of time. "
When Lu Zhou heard this, he asked, "Great Yan's Imperial tutor?"
"Yes, yes, yes. It's Great Yan's Imperial tutor. He said he wanted to find someone, so he traveled the Ten Thousand Races. That's why he stayed in the Deep-eye Realm for ten years," Lu Li said.
As expected, the Nine-leaf elite was still alive.
Lu Zhou continued to ask, "Do you know where he is now?"
Lu Li shook his head and said, "Although this person is on good terms with the king, his cultivation base is profound. If he wants to leave, nobody can stop him."
"He asked you to find the box?"
"Uh …"
Bam!
Zhu Honggong's left and right gloves collided.
Lu Li was startled. He hastily said, "No, no, no. The king sent me here. The news about the Nine-leaf stage has spread like wildfire. The 12 nations of Rongxi and Rongbei are trying their best to attain the Nine-leaf stage. The first to attain the Nine-leaf stage will have the upper hand. "
This reminded Lu Zhou of modern society. It was similar to spies sent between companies to steal technology and trade secrets.
They would do anything to achieve their goals.
It was not strange for the Other Tribes of Rongbei to do this. At this point, the only thing that mattered was profit.
"Only the five of you came?" Lu Zhou asked.
"There's really only five of us …" Lu Li said.
At this moment, the remaining four Deep-eye Tribesmen were brought over by the Imperial guards.
They were pushed forward.
"Kneel!"
Lu Li looked at the four of them, dumbfounded.
'They were captured so easily.'
The four of them knelt on the side with bruises all over their faces.
At this time, Zhao Yue said, "Master, I heard that the Divine Capital isn't peaceful these days. There are many spies from the other races causing trouble everywhere."
Lu Li hurriedly waved his hand.
"He's not from our Deep-eye Tribe! They must be from Lou Lan and Rouli! "
Lu Zhou looked at Zhao Yue and asked, "Is it serious?"
"It's not just the Divine Capital. Other Tribes are stirring up trouble all over the Nine States … However, the Divine Capital is the worst affected."
Lu Zhou looked at Duanmu Sheng and said,
"I want to see Hua Chongyang tomorrow morning."
"Yes!"
With that, he turned around and left.
…
The next morning.
In Dazheng Palace.
After a night of meditation, Lu Zhou's extraordinary power had increased.
When Hua Chongyang received Duanmu Sheng's message, he immediately rushed to the palace.
"Greetings, Senior Ji."
Lu Zhou looked at Hua Chongyang and asked, "Do you know why I summoned you here?"
Hua Chongyang bowed.
"I'm sure Senior Ji has already heard that the foreign races have infiltrated the God's Capital and are causing trouble everywhere. They're raiding houses and committing all sorts of atrocities."
"The Nether Sect has tens of thousands of men, but they can't keep an eye on the Divine Capital?" Lu Zhou asked, puzzled.
"After committing a crime, they would hide and look for their next target. How cunning! The Outsiders were deliberately stirring up trouble. I've only captured three people in the past two days! "Hua Chongyang looked troubled.
At this moment, Duanmu Sheng walked in from outside.
He bowed and said, "Master … I received a letter in front of the Imperial City. Please take a look."
Lu Zhou received it and opened the letter.
"Old Villain Ji, let Lu Li and the other four go. Otherwise, we'll take the lives of the people in the Divine Capital. For every day that you don't release them, we will kill five people a day until you release them. "
Upon seeing the letter, Zhang Xuan clenched his fist.
Pa!
The flying letter turned into powder and scattered with the wind.
Threatening me?
Duanmu Sheng lowered his voice and said, "Master, there are five corpses of civilians together with the letter."
Hua Chongyang fell to his knees. "I'm useless! The Nether Sect had just arrived in the Divine Capital. Its foundation was not stable yet. Now, the strange races were taking advantage of this opportunity to stir up trouble. How hateful. Please give me some time. I'll surely capture them and cut them into pieces. "
He knew very well that if his sect master wanted to rule the world, he would have to ensure long-term stability.
The civilians were the foundation of a city. If the foundation was in chaos, how could the people live in peace and prosperity?
"Are the civil and military officials doing nothing?" Lu Zhou asked, puzzled.
"They don't care at all … The Nether Sect is the only one maintaining basic order in the Divine Capital. However, the nine provinces are in chaos as well. I've sent the 12 branch masters back to their branches to intimidate the other cities. The forces in the Divine Capital have been left behind. It's difficult to suppress the Other Tribesmen spies, "Hua Chongyang said.
Duanmu Sheng bowed and said, "Master, it's not his fault.
I went out for a stroll this morning. The Divine Capital is currently in a period of recuperation. Many buildings are being rebuilt. The civil and military officials are still unwilling to work with the Fiend Path. At the end of the day, the civil and military officials aren't willing to work with the Fiend Path. Those Other Tribesmen spies are disguised as Great Yan civilians. It's difficult to tell them apart. "
After the two of them finished speaking …
This was indeed a problem.
At this moment, Zhao Yue appeared in front of Dazheng Palace. As soon as she entered the great hall, she said, "Master, there are many civilians kneeling in front of the Imperial city."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou said, "I'll go and have a look."
"I'll go and have a look."
The others left Dazheng Palace.
A moment later, Lu Zhou appeared above the Imperial city. He looked at the civilians kneeling below the city.
There were hundreds of them.
There were many papers scattered on the ground where they were kneeling.
The civilians kept kowtowing and cried out, "Please, Evil Sky Pavilion, seek justice for the civilians!"
"Please, Evil Sky Pavilion, seek justice for the civilians!"
Lu Zhou pointed at the papers on the ground and asked, "What's written on these papers?"
"They're left behind by the Other Tribesmen, Senior Ji. It's similar to the letter you read … That's why the people of the Divine Capital are in a state of panic," Hua Chongyang said with a frown.
The civilians were still kowtowing.
Lu Zhou swept his gaze across the civilians again.
One of them kept kowtowing. It was clear he was a Great Yan human.
'Those spies are cunning.
Even if I drag them out, there's nothing I can do even if they refuse to admit to it. Killing people without a reason will only cause more unrest in the Divine Capital. '
As the saying went, it was easy to conquer a country, but difficult to defend it.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard as he thought of a plan.
After muttering to himself for a moment, he said, "I'll take care of this."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhou heard a notification.
He opened the system's mission dashboard. As expected, there was a new mission: Solve the Divine Capital's Hidden Threat.
"With Senior Ji around, it'll be a piece of cake!" Hua Chongyang bowed.
However, he was thinking, 'This is a tricky matter. It can't be solved with force. What will Senior Ji do?'
"Notify the Big Dipper Academy's Zhou Youcai that I want to see him."
