317 Don’t worry, I’ll take care of the rest
Today, the Zhao clan and the Guan clan had lost a lot of face.
Zhao Guangxin and Guan leping, what kind of status were they? In Yan city, they were undoubtedly big figures, high officials of the Imperial court, and the helmsmen of the wealthy families.
However, today, he was like an old dog who had lost his family, being chased out of the door.
It was not that the two of them had not thought of taking revenge in their shame and anger. When Lu Wenen walked out of the arrest department’s main door and stood in front of them with a condescending look. When he said what Lu Qing had said, the two of them really wanted to slap that kid to death.
Without a doubt, both of them could do it.
However, whether they could do it or not and whether they dared to do it were two different things.
Seeing Lu Wenen’s fearless expression, it was obvious that he was not worried that the two of them would have any ill intentions.
Who knew if the method Lu Qing had left behind was a one-time thing? What if it wasn’t? was he going to risk his life?
Previously, Lu Qing had blasted them out of the arrest Department with one move. The power was too frightening.
It would be embarrassing if he stayed, but he didn’t dare to retaliate. What else could he do? He didn’t even dare to say any harsh words. The only thing he wanted to do was to leave quickly.
As soon as the two of them ran away, the people who were watching in the dark became even more panicked.
Those who were slightly more sensitive would have the same thought in their minds: In the Imperial court of the Great Yan Dynasty, the four great clans that had been protecting the royal family for hundreds of years seemed to have welcomed the biggest challenger.
Lu Wenen scanned his surroundings and bowed slightly as a form of greeting. He then walked back to the door of the arrest Department.
As soon as he entered, he saw Wang Sheng sticking his head out not far away.
“Director Wang.” Lu Wenen called out to the other party.
Wang Sheng could only brace himself and walk over.
They had thought that Lu Wenen was dead for sure today, but who would have thought that the outcome would be like this?
He was afraid that Lu Wenen would mention how he had casually let Zhao Guangxin in, so he could only find another topic. “That left supervisor Lu of Xuanji, there are still a dozen Imperial Guards lying inside. What should we do with Xuanji?”
“Director Wang, do as you see fit.”
“Oh, Yingluo, what about Zhao Siwei who’s in prison?”
“Director Wang, you can do as you see fit.”
Lu Wenen pushed the matter back and then called the clan’s cultivators and the Qingfeng sect’s cultivators in the arrest Department to leave.
As for Wang Sheng, there was no need to pursue the matter. He was just a small director. Although he could be considered one of the high-ranking officials, what could he do when the Imperial censor came to visit? He could only step aside.
What’s more, Guan leping himself had come, and the arrest Department was directly under the Supreme Court, so it was even more impossible to stop him. It was already very good that Wang Sheng did not jump out and take the initiative to arrest him-perhaps it was not that Wang Sheng did not want to.
Of course, Wang Sheng was also feeling extremely awkward. His own superior was sent flying in his own official’s office. What was he supposed to do?
What else could he do? he was an ostrich!
On the other hand, Lu Wenen settled down after he left.
This was the arrangement of the old ancestor. He told them to stay in their own residences and cultivate in peace. In any case, they were not to go out and cause trouble in the near future.
To be honest, he was still feeling a little scared.
If it wasn’t for the old ancestor’s timely rescue, he might really be gone.
He was very sure that The Phantom image of the patriarch that appeared had nothing to do with the talisman. The only function of the talisman was to ‘notify’, and it couldn’t even carry specific information.
For the old ancestor to be able to come, he must have left some arrangements on him before.
“The old ancestor still cares about every one of the younger generation, hehe.”
After reminiscing, he began to think about the future situation of Yan city.
Now that he thought about it, he still slightly regretted his recklessness before. After confirming that the faceless society was the main culprit behind the attack on the Lu family’s trade caravan, he had also received news that Zhao Siwei had connections with the faceless society. In order to obtain further information, he had hurriedly made a move on Zhao Siwei.
Although he had considered the consequences of his actions, it was nothing more than completely intensifying the conflict between the Zhao clan and the Lu clan, making it difficult for him to continue to stand firm in the Imperial court. But after thinking about it, he realized that it didn’t matter. He didn’t cherish this position very much anyway. As for the conflict between the two families, the Zhao family of Yan city couldn’t go to the Feiyun state in the North to cause trouble for the Lu family.
However, in the end, he had to admit that he had underestimated the Zhao clan’s reaction.
Zhao Guang Xin actually directly attacked.
And now, even though he was safe because of the elder ancestor’s protection, and Zhao Guang Xin and Guan leping were the ones who lost face, what would happen next?
Zhao Guang Xin was an Imperial Censorate, in charge of monitoring the officials. Guan leping was his superior in name. After these two people were thoroughly offended, it would be very difficult for him to use the power of the Imperial court to investigate the faceless society’s matter. Needless to say, the Imperial Censorate would definitely find trouble with him every two or three days. After being authorized by the Minister of Justice, the forces of the arrest Department and the investigation Department could no longer follow the command of the left supervisor as before.
How were they going to investigate further?
Was he really going to rely on himself and the ten or so cultivators under him? Don’t joke around. Without official intelligence channels, they wouldn’t even be able to get the name ‘faceless society’ in the beginning.
However, on second thought, he recalled what the elder ancestor had told him before.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of the rest.”
What was the point of worrying so much?
……
Lu Qing had already learned everything about the faceless society from Wenen.
Recently, he had been on Yuyan mountain and had basically polished his nascent Soul Stage cultivation to the right level. For the time being, there was nothing else to do, and he did not see any opportunity for a breakthrough. There was no need for him to continue to stay in his hometown.
It was good to come to Yan city to investigate a case.
While he could not unleash the power that Lu Qing had displayed when he was in his consciousness form, he still had an irreplaceable advantage. He could do anything in the world, and he could also hear all kinds of secrets without worrying about being discovered. This was too convenient.
And now, wasn’t it a great opportunity for him to display his skills?
It was a waste of time to investigate a case in person.
Lu Qing followed Lu Wenen back to their residence. When he saw that the younger generation of the clan had settled down and there were no other dangers, Lu Qing’s consciousness body flew out.
After thinking for a while, his first target of surveillance was Madam Zhao.
After all, there was already clear information that the Zhao clan was in contact with the faceless society.
When he arrived at the Zhao residence, Lu Qing saw Zhao Guangxin, who had just returned home.
Before the old man arrived home, he had tidied up his appearance. At the very least, when Lu Qing saw him, he was still in good shape. The sorry state he had been in earlier had disappeared.
It seemed that the Zhao clan master didn’t want to return to the clan in a sorry state, as it would damage the dignity of the clan master.
But in fact, this was a bit of a cover-up.
What happened in the arrest Department couldn’t be hidden. In a very short time, it spread throughout the entire Yan city. Even if the members of the Zhao clan didn’t know about this matter for the time being, they would definitely find out in the future.
If he were in her shoes, under the same situation, he would probably be extremely ashamed.
Although it was not a big deal that they were not as good as others, they were still one of the four most powerful families in Yan country. If even the Emperor treated them with respect, they would lose face.
In reality, Zhao Guangxin was more concerned about his reputation than Lu Qing had thought.
when he reached his room and there was no one around, Zhao Guang Xin began to vent the anger and grievances in his heart. He raised his head and roared, pouring his true essence into the indestructible walls around him.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk,
Lu Qing happily watched the show for a while. However, he soon became bored.
After Zhao Guang Xin vented, he closed his eyes and started to channel. After all, Lu Qing’s previous attack had caused him some internal injuries. He had to recuperate.
It was not interesting to watch others cultivate.
Lu Qing started to wander around the Zhao Manor.
The Zhao Manor was quite big. Although it was called a mansion, it actually looked more like a small town. The capital of Yan was built on an entire level six spirit vein, and the range of this spirit vein was particularly large. It was different from the green Peak Mountain, and some of the smaller spirit veins around it were very close. As a result, the overall strength of the spirit veins in the core inner city was scattered. The better areas were occupied by some large clans and the Imperial court, while the less important areas were developed into commercial buildings, such as fire rooms, cultivator’s trade centers, and the residences of ordinary cultivators.
However, even the houses that were a grade lower had spiritual veins that were at least Grade 3 and above.
Even in the outer city of Yan city, nearly one-third of the land had the concentration of spiritual Qi of a level-three spiritual heritage. The worst place was at least equivalent to a level-two spiritual heritage.
A wealthy family like the Zhao family had more than 10000 core members, all of whom were cultivators. The place they occupied was one of the best places in Yan city, except for the Imperial Palace. The concentration of spiritual Qi here was at level five, and even the core part could reach level six.
Lu Qing’s consciousness form clicked his tongue as he strolled around.
To be honest, he was quite envious.
Lu Qing had a rough idea of the Zhao family’s situation after spending so much time with them.
There were three golden core cultivators in the Zhao family of Yan city, not the two that they claimed to have. The strongest person was not Zhao Guang Xin, but an elder who was cultivating in seclusion. He seemed to be a Grand Elder of the clan. Lu Qing could sense that the old man’s abilities had already reached the peak of the Golden elixir realm. He was only one step away from the nascent soul realm.
This fellow seemed to be an elder of the Zhao clan who had been declared dead several decades ago. Who would have thought that he was actually not dead? he had only been in seclusion for many years.
He reckoned that there were more than one or two families like the Zhao family that had hidden their power. Lu Qing would not believe that the Li family of the Yan Dynasty only had two golden core cultivators and one nascent soul cultivator.
Even if these families hid so many top experts, Yunxiao sect could still use the identity of the sect Alliance’s leader to suppress the Imperial court to the point that the change of the throne had to be done according to their wishes. Then, one could imagine that the foundation hidden behind Yunxiao sect might not be as simple as it was on the surface.
It was no wonder that the Yunxiao sect and the Imperial court did not think much of remote places like the Feiyun state and the Xue state in the past. The cultivation world in these two places was too weak. In the past, when the Qingfeng sect had a nascent soul cultivator, they could still be regarded highly. After their decline, they had no sense of existence at all.
At the moment, the hidden Peak golden elixir realm cultivator from the Zhao clan was powerful. If Lu Qing had not broken through to the nascent soul realm, he would have found it troublesome to meet him. However, at the same time, he could also feel that this golden core peak stage cultivator was already in his last years.
This old fellow had most likely already passed the limit of a golden core’s lifespan and was only relying on some natural treasures to hang on to his life, just like Zhao Zidan back then. The last step of the nascent soul, the peak Jindan stage cultivator of the Zhao clan, would probably not have the chance to cross.
Of course, if the Zhao family encountered a major disaster, this Jindan stage elder would come out of the mountain. With his peak Jindan stage strength, he could give a big surprise to the enemy who didn’t have detailed information.
Other than the three golden core cultivators, Lu Qing also discovered that the Zhao clan had more than 20 initial enlightenment cultivators.
In this case, the Zhao family of Yan city alone was as powerful as the entire Feiyun state before the rise of the Lu family.
They weren’t called rich for nothing.
Of course, the main reason was that the cultivation world in the Feiyun state was too remote and not powerful enough.
After getting a clear idea of the Zhao clan’s strength, Lu Qing continued to keep an eye on Zhao Guang Xin.
If nothing unexpected happened, the Zhao clan would not let him wait too long.
This was normal.
Zhao Guang Xin already knew that the Lu clan had already found out that the faceless society was involved. Even though Zhao Siwei did not have much information about the faceless society, it was still a hidden danger.
If the Zhao clan and the faceless society really had a close relationship, then they should be able to contact each other very soon and discuss the follow-up matters.
As for Lu Qing, he only needed to wait for the faceless society to appear. He would keep a close eye on every outsider who was in contact with the higher-ups of the Zhao clan. He should be able to find some clues about the faceless society.
“The faceless society, the faceless society, Humph! I’d like to see just what kind of background this group of people who are hiding their heads and showing their tails have!”
……
In the days that followed, Lu Qing did not meet any strange people. Instead, he met a high-ranking official from the Imperial court.
One of the nine ministers, Major General Li Wenchang.
He was a member of the royal family, a cultivator at the peak of the initial enlightenment stage, the nephew of the Yan Emperor, li Shiwen, and also the emperor’s confidant.
Lu Qing did not pay much attention to it in the beginning. The intention of this great principal was very obvious. He had come on behalf of the imperial family. It was said that after the Zhao family, he would go to the Guan family to visit.
He was the Emperor, after all. When something happened to an important family, he had to come and take a look. Even the royal family had sent people over to Lu Wenen’s place, let alone the Zhao and Guan clans.
However, Lu Qing’s expression turned serious when he heard the private conversation between Zhao Guang Xin and this great sect.
They were talking about the faceless society!
If you talk about this, I won’t be sleepy!
