While Lu Qingshan and Lin Yao were talking.
With the help of the formation, Lin He had already taken down the remaining eight Demon Hunters.
Seeing Lu Qingshan and his Miss talking, Lin He tactfully waited on the side.
Finally, when Lu Qingshan and Lin Yao finished talking, Lin He came over and interrupted, "Fellow Daoist Lu."
Lin He handed over a box made of sandalwood.
Lu Qingshan took it and opened it. There were five Third Grade Spirit Stones inside.
Lin He explained, "Fellow Daoist Lu, don't misunderstand. Five Third Grade Spirit Stones are naturally not enough to repay Fellow Daoist Lu for saving my life. These Spirit Stones are Fellow Daoist Lu's reward for escorting my Lin Family's convoy to Zhenjiang City."
After the battle just now, Lin He was very clear about Lu Qingshan's strength.
There was still a long way to go. If they encountered demon beasts along the way, they would have to rely on Lu Qingshan.
And with Lu Qingshan's cultivation, 30 pieces of first grade spirit stones as a reward seemed too shabby.
Lu Qingshan understood in his heart and did not accept Lin He's good intentions. He returned the sandalwood box and said, "Since I received the mission you issued in the Demon Hunter League, then escorting the convoy to Zhenjiang City is my duty. There is no need for additional rewards."
Lin He saw that Lu Qingshan was unwilling to accept the Spirit Stones and did not dare to force it. He could only put the sandalwood box back into his storage bag.
Lu Qingshan glanced at the situation.
Considering that the convoy was seriously understaffed, if there were too many captives, they would not be able to take care of them all.
Therefore, Lin He did not show any mercy. Of the remaining eight Demon Hunters, only Ma Shan and Liu Ai were left. The rest were all turned to ashes under the fire snake formation.
Ma Shan and Liu Ai were going to be kept as witnesses.
The Ma Clan had a secret relationship with Ma Yuan, who refined Sinister Gu. As long as this matter was confirmed, the Ma Clan would definitely cease to exist.
The night quickly passed.
After this incident, the number of cultivators in the Lin Family's convoy was reduced by half. The remaining cultivators were basically all injured.
However, the convoy still had to continue to Zhenjiang City.
Fortunately, that swordsman was around.
When the cultivators of the Lin Clan thought of this, they cautiously glanced at Lu Qingshan, who was sitting on a large cart transporting goods.
He immediately felt a lot more at ease.
Lu Qingshan leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes to take a nap.
When the entire convoy saw this, they consciously lowered their voices, fearing that they would disturb Lu Qingshan.
This was a form of respect for the strong.
.....
Origin Mountain Building.
House Master Dantai Qingrun, Deputy House Master Jiang Rong and the various managers of the Origin Mountain House were all gathered together.
Two days had passed since the battle at the City Lord's Mansion.
Given the efficiency of the Origin Mountain House and their influence in Origin Mountain City, two days was more than enough for them to settle all the Hades factions involved in this matter.
"Thousand Treasure House, Ku Mansion, Earth Terminating Pavilion … and the City Lord's Mansion. These are all Hades' factions in Origin Mountain City." Jiang Rong reported to Dantai Qingrun, who was sitting on the main seat.
Jiang Rong's gaze was eerie. "We have already sent cultivators to take down all these factions.
The people in charge are currently locked up in the Warden's Mansion and are being interrogated by the Warden's cultivators.
There should be results in a day or two. Anyone who colluded with Hades will not be able to escape. "
"Hades has infiltrated so deeply that they are involved in nearly one-third of the cultivator factions in Origin Mountain City!" Dantai Qingrun snorted coldly.
The Origin Mountain House cultivators all kept quiet and did not dare to speak.
Within Zhenjiang City's one hundred and eight counties, Origin Mountain City was definitely the city that Hades had invested the most resources into.
Otherwise, Hades would not have chosen Origin Mountain City as their base of operations and lured Qi Yuan there.
"What's the situation at the blood pool?" Dantai Qingrun raised her brows and asked.
Soon, a middle-aged male cultivator in charge of this matter stood up and replied, "Don't worry, House Lord. After Senior Fengxing Zi broke the illusion array, we destroyed the blood pool completely."
Dantai Qingrun nodded and turned to look at Jiang Rong. "Jiang Rong, hurry up and interrogate these cultivators who are involved with the factions. Don't let a single guilty person go."
"Yes, House Lord!"
"Alright, that's all for today."
"Yes!" The Origin Mountain House cultivators responded.
Soon, all the Origin Mountain House cultivators left one after another.
Only Dantai Qingrun was left.
Dantai Qingrun took out a blank jade slip and used her Divine Perception to probe it. After pondering for a while, she finally recorded the entire battle at Origin Mountain City's City Lord's Mansion in the jade slip.
However, Lu Qingshan's name did not appear in the jade slip.
After recording it, Dantai Qingrun seemed to have thought of something. After hesitating for a while, she added a short paragraph in the jade slip. "Origin Mountain City's City Lord is from Hades. From this, it can be seen that Hades has infiltrated the human race. I suggest that we investigate the upper echelons of the human race's cities to prevent such a ridiculous incident from happening again."
After adding this paragraph, Dantai Qingrun nodded in satisfaction. She called for the black-robed cultivator who was waiting outside and passed the jade slip to him.
"Send it to River Suppression Tower as soon as possible." Dantai Qingrun instructed.
Just like how Zhenjiang City governed the 108 counties, River Suppression Tower was the superior of these county's City Lords and had jurisdiction over them.
Since the battle at Origin Mountain City was such an important matter, it was necessary to report the entire matter to River Suppression Tower.
"Wait …" Seeing the black-robed cultivator leave with the jade slip, Dantai Qingrun's heart skipped a beat. She called out to the black-robed cultivator again.
"Jiang Rong's abilities are outstanding and she is loyal to the human race. She can take on a huge responsibility!" After taking back the jade slip from the black-robed cultivator, Dantai Qingrun added this sentence on the jade slip.
Dantai Qingrun naturally understood that she had contributed greatly this time. She also knew that after this, she would definitely be promoted.
If she was promoted, the position of Origin Mountain Tower's Tower Lord would be vacant.
Although she had worked with Jiang Rong for less than three years, Dantai Qingrun was well aware of Jiang Rong's abilities and character. She also believed that Jiang Rong would be able to maintain the good situation in Origin Mountain City.
Hence, she wanted to help Jiang Rong as much as possible.
With her recommendation, Jiang Rong's chances of being promoted to Origin Mountain Tower's Tower Lord might not be 100%, but it was at least 90% certain.
As for herself.
Dantai Qingrun smiled slightly.
She was already the Tower Lord of Origin Mountain Tower. If she were to be promoted, what other places would she go besides River Suppression Tower?
.....
In the wilderness, the Lin Family convoy.
For the next few days, everything seemed to be very peaceful.
To the Lin Family cultivators, it was a good thing that nothing happened.
Because there were too many variables in the wilderness. Not only did it represent trouble, it could also bring about death.
Hence, when the Lin Family convoy reached the vicinity of River Suppression City, everyone could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
At this point, Lu Qingshan was about to part ways with the Lin Family convoy.
The Lin Family convoy was going to Fire Cloud Peak, which was a hundred miles away from River Suppression City.
Fire Cloud Peak was where the Lin Family of River Suppression City was located.
And Lu Qingshan's destination was River Suppression City.
"This is proof. Young Master Lu can use this to complete the mission at the Demon Hunter Union." Lin Yao handed a jade slip to Lu Qingshan.
Then, Lin Yao hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips, and said, "Although our Lin Family is a small family, we still know how to repay kindness. Young Master Lu has saved our lives, but if Young Master Lu needs anything in the future, feel free to let me know."
Lu Qingshan smiled and replied, "Of course."
"If Miss Lin encounters any trouble, feel free to come to Zhenjiang City to find me. I will be in Zhenjiang City during this period of time." Lu Qingshan said to Lin Yao before they parted.
Lin Yao watched Lu Qingshan's departing figure.
Her brows were tightly knitted together.
Lu Qingshan's words seemed like a very ordinary courtesy.
But for some reason, when she thought of Lu Qingshan's eyes when he said those words, she felt that there was a deeper meaning behind them.
It was as if Lu Qingshan had predicted that she would encounter some trouble.
