The sun rose in Upper King City.
Upper King City was originally the largest economic city in the western part of Hanliang Kingdom. However, after Hanliang Kingdom was destroyed, it became the main base for the enemy to attack Shang Qi Kingdom. The army was stationed 50 miles away, and the leader lived in the Upper King City's City Lord Mansion. The city was also filled with enemy troops.
The once bustling Upper King City had long since become a barren wasteland. Not a single shop could be seen on the wide and straight streets. The original Chamber of Commerce and Alliance had all been plundered. The able-bodied men in the city had been captured as slaves. The young and beautiful women had been captured as entertainment for the soldiers. As for everyone else, they had all been killed. Even the children were not spared.
When Lu An followed the enemy Heavenly Masters into Upper King City, he could not help but frown when he saw such a desolate city. He even slowed down. Although the streets were still clean, the smell of blood was everywhere. The sound of a woman crying drifted with the wind. Even Lu An did not know where the sound came from.
The streets were covered with rubble and dust. The houses on the streets were also dilapidated. It was hard to imagine how prosperous this place used to be. The only place that was still intact was the City Lord Mansion in the distance. After all, that was where the leader lived.
Lu An took a light breath and continued forward with a frown. He followed them all the way to the City Lord Mansion. However, he did not dare to follow these people into the City Lord Mansion. There were Level 6 Heavenly Masters inside. He could not deal with them at all.
He could only use his wits.
Lu An looked around and realized that the soldiers in the city lord's mansion were not very orderly. It was very likely that the leader did not know how to manage, or that the enemy soldiers who had suddenly gathered did not know anything at all. The patrols were also very lax. There were even soldiers sitting on the ground and chatting.
Lu An frowned slightly. At this moment, his Scorching Sun Nine Suns suddenly sensed a soldier walking out of a room 300 meters away. This soldier was putting on his coat. Lu An frowned and sensed a woman in the room.
Lu An clenched his fist. He hated this kind of thing. His figure flashed and disappeared. After a few breaths, he appeared in front of the soldier.
The soldier did not have any reaction. In the next moment, his chest was hit by a palm. However, Lu An did not smash him into pieces. Instead, he sent a cold air into the soldier's body. Immediately, all the organs in his body froze, and he turned into a popsicle.
Bang!
The soldier fell to the ground stiffly. Even when he died, he still maintained the same posture as before, like a specimen.
Lu An quickly took off the man's clothes and put them on himself. This person's figure was about the same as his, so it fit him perfectly. After putting on the clothes, Lu An set fire to the man's body to destroy the evidence. Then, he took a light breath and set off toward the City Lord's Mansion in the distance.
There were guards at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion. Lu An did not enter through the entrance. Instead, he found the furthest corner and climbed over the wall to enter. But when he entered the wall, he put away all his Fate Wheels and began to walk in the Mansion of Castellan.
Sure enough, as he had expected, the soldiers in the City Lord's Mansion were also very disorderly and did not know the rules at all. Many soldiers were walking back and forth chatting with each other. Even if they saw Lu An, they would not feel strange, and would even greet and nod to each other. After all, Lu An was wearing their uniform, and was even in the city lord's residence, what was there to be suspicious about?
If he was a spy, he would not even be able to enter the City Lord's Mansion. That was what they thought.
Just like this, Lu An swaggered into the City Lord's Mansion. Although his heart was calm, but on the surface he acted exactly like these people. His expression was frivolous, his walk was sloppy, and his appearance was sloppy.
Lu An pretended to walk aimlessly in the City Lord's Mansion, but in fact, he was slowly approaching the center. The closer he got, the calmer he became. Finally, he could see the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion. But his footsteps stopped here, and he did not continue to approach.
The main hall's door opened. He observed from afar, but did not see any important people inside. Only a few people were constantly dressing up. At this moment, Lu An suddenly felt a few people behind him carrying a fruit platter and tea as they crossed the door and walked towards the main hall. Lu An's eyes narrowed slightly as he immediately turned and walked towards the door.
Bang!
Two people collided, directly sending a fruit platter flying. That person's face was filled with shock, but he could not catch it. Lu An also pretended to lose his head out of fear, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch it.
Pa!
The fruit platter fell to the ground, smashing into pieces. The fruit also immediately rolled on the ground, and rolled everywhere!
"You … you can't see me?!" That person flew into a rage, but did not dare to make a ruckus here. He could only whisper, "I'm a big person standing here, and you still knocked into me?"
"Ah … I can't see you!" Lu An was also stunned. He waved his hand and hurriedly said, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and pick up the things!"
"Pick up what?" That person directly waved his hand and said, "This fruit platter can't be delayed. They will be here soon, if they blame us, we will all die! You guys send it over first, I'll pick up the things here. You go to the kitchen and quickly bring another fruit platter over! "
"Oh, okay!" Lu An hurriedly nodded and said, "I'll go now!"
After that, Lu An ran outside. That person looked at Lu An's departing figure and said loudly, "You're running in the wrong direction, it's southwest!"
"Ah, okay!" Lu An hurriedly turned his head and ran toward the kitchen.
That person looked at Lu An's departing figure and said with a smile, "What a fool. I'll send the fruit platter over later. Even if I'm late, it won't be me who will be punished, haha!"
However, Lu An did not expect things to go so smoothly. He hurriedly went to the kitchen and asked for a new fruit platter. However, the distance between the kitchen and the main hall was far beyond Lu An's imagination. Lu An could not use his strength to move forward quickly. He could only trot a little bit and once again head toward the main hall.
This back and forth took Lu An a whole quarter of an hour. Just as Lu An arrived at the main hall's gate, he heard orderly voices coming from inside.
"Welcome, Elysium's Young Master!!!"
Lu An's body shook. Have they arrived?
Lu An hurriedly stepped over the gate and found a group of people walking from the steps of the main hall to the gate of the main hall. There were a lot of people. Coupled with the high steps of the main hall, Lu An could not see the people in front of him.
Oh no, I must go quickly!
He saw Lu An carrying the fruit platter and quickly moving forward. Because he had been a slave, he knew the rules of the servants. He could not walk on the steps of the main hall. He could only go up from the side steps. He quickly climbed up the steps and trotted to the platform of the main hall. He found the door from the side. At this moment, there were many soldiers outside the door waiting for orders from inside.
Among them, the steward saw a soldier running with a fruit platter. Only then did he remember that there was a table without a fruit platter. He could not help but be worried. He did not dare to carry the fruit platter in himself. He quickly whispered to Lu An, "Why are you so slow? Why don't you hurry up and send it in?"
"Yes, yes, yes …." Lu An quickly nodded and carried the fruit platter in from the side door. He saw that the people on both sides had already sat down. Each of them had a maid waiting behind them. Lu An quickly walked to the empty table and gently placed the fruit platter on the table.
However, no matter how light Lu An was, even if they could not hear him, they would still see him. The person sitting at the table immediately turned to look at Lu An. Just now, he was wondering why everyone else had a fruit platter but he did not. He could not help but look at Lu An with a sharp gaze.
Lu An panicked. He quickly turned around and walked away. He did not even raise his head. But just as he turned around and took a step, the man suddenly opened his mouth and shouted, "Stop!"
The voice was very loud. It immediately spread throughout the huge main hall, causing everyone to look over. The middle-aged man stood up and came behind Lu An. He shouted, "Speak! Why did you only bring my fruit platter up?! "
The voice was very loud. The soldiers hiding outside the side door of the main hall were also shocked. They shrunk their necks. These were all distinguished guests of the Revered Heaven Sect. Offending them would be fatal!
Lu An was scolded until his body trembled. He trembled as he turned to look at the man. His face was as pale as paper. He quickly apologized and said, "It's … It's my fault. Please forgive me, sir!"
"Forgive? I think you deserve to die! "The middle-aged man shouted. He immediately raised his hand and was about to slap Lu An's face. This man was a Level 5 Heavenly Master. This slap would directly take Lu An's life.
"Stop!"
At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly sounded. The middle-aged man's hand stopped in mid-air. He immediately turned around and looked at the main hall.
At the same time, Lu An gently lowered his clenched fist. The red color that was about to appear in his eyes immediately retreated.
"We are guests. How can you be so presumptuous here? It's just a fruit platter. Don't be rude!"
"It's this subordinate's fault. Young Master, you're right!" The middle-aged man immediately said.
Hearing the young master's words, Lu An slightly frowned. Although the young master's voice was very loud, he could hear a trace of a thin and sharp voice. He immediately bowed deeply in the direction of the young master. Then, the moment he raised his body, he secretly glanced in the direction of the young master in the main hall.
This glance just happened to meet their eyes.
Lu An's body trembled. How could it be a woman?!
