The five missing people, including Zhu Cheng, who has penetrated the soul of strength, are not considered strong men. It is not difficult to deal with them, but they are so silent and without traces. It is not only the crushing of strength, but also the manifestation of The other party was cautious and professional.
"So, I personally think that the other party is testing the waters this time. They want to probe our reaction and then further play with us." Fang Yizhu, who returned to Zhaifeng Academy, analyzed this to Lu Ping and others.
"But it took us three full days to find out, which may disappoint them a little bit," Morin said.
Lu Ping felt a little ashamed when he mentioned this. I was determined to protect everyone at Zhaifeng Academy, but it took three people to discover that the five people were missing. This is indeed a bit negligent, knowing that the rebuilt Fengfeng Academy may not be able to find peace easily.
"I'll go find them." Lu Ping decisively took the most direct action.
"Going to the City Lord's Mansion?" Fang Yizhu asked.
Lu Ping nodded.
"The other party may be prepared, but if you go...it won't be a big problem." Molin said. In the face of crushing strength, all conspiracies and traps will only be paper tigers. Mo Lin was actually a little confused. The Xiafeng District should know how terrifying Lu Ping's strength was, so how could he be so stubborn? After thinking about it, I can only think that their strength limits their imagination. The guy with two souls and three souls here in Xiafeng District was beaten to death by Lu Ping. I'm afraid he only thought that Lu Ping was a master of four souls. I thought that uniting as one and using some conspiracy would be able to deal with it, but in the end I still underestimated and underestimated Lu Ping.
"Let's just stay here to prevent them from harming everyone." Fang Yizhu said.
"I will come back as soon as possible." Lu Ping nodded and said, and then he was about to go on the road alone.
"Wait." Teacher Lu Qing walked out tremblingly, with shock on his face.
"Teacher Lu, what do you have to explain?" Lu Ping stopped and asked him.
"You don't seem to have confirmed that this is the work of the City Lord's Mansion, right?" Lu Qing said.
"Not at all." Fang Yizhu said.
"Then you..."
"Although there is no evidence, who else could it be besides them?" Molin said eagerly.
"This soldier is unknown, so the accident is inevitable!" Lu Qing said.
"Teacher Lu, don't worry, it's because your soldiers are not strong enough. Now let's just wait for the good news of Lu Ping's victory!" Mo Lin said.
At this time, Lu Qing also remembered the story Lu Ping told before about him going to Xuanjun City to fight and kill. If you can fight your way through Xuanjun City, it is really no problem in Xiafeng City. Just act like this...
"Using violence to fight violence is not a long-term solution after all!" Lu Qing added.
"Old man, if you have an idea, just say it. If you don't have an idea, stop talking nonsense." Chu Minna has a bad temper and has been putting up with it for a long time. Lu Ping and the others were polite to Lu Qing and respected his status as the tutor of Zhaofeng Academy, but Chu Min didn't care about this, not to mention that she was only higher than Lu Qing in terms of status.
Lu Qing was stunned for a moment after being scolded by Chu Min. Then he looked ashamed, nodded to Lu Ping and said, "It all depends on the dean."
"Then I'll go." Lu Ping was unambiguous and turned around to leave. Chu Min glared at Lu Qing a few more times, making the old man even more embarrassed.
…
…
The main palace of Xiafeng City.
The one who captured the five teachers and students of Zhaifeng Academy was of course the City Lord's Mansion. Moreover, Fang Yizhu's inference was also correct. Wei Yang's plan was to test Lu Ping's reaction first. So these five people were really not kidnapped at the same time. Even at the beginning, they only focused on one target. As a result, they could not observe the reaction of Zhaofeng Academy, so they found the next target. They repeated this process until they finally tied up the fifth person. They finally understood. The Feng Academy hasn’t even noticed it yet!
The scene suddenly became very awkward, and Wei Chao had to step in and stop the plan. They originally wanted to test Lu Ping and others' response at a small cost. If we continue to tie them up endlessly, wouldn't it be tantamount to an all-out war? Regardless of the strength of the people, elite experts from other places in the jurisdiction have also been transferred to Xiafeng City, but He Luping just faces him? They really don't have the guts. They originally wanted to rely on the large number of people to be sleazy, but now they can't touch Lu Ping and others' sore spots, and suddenly they can no longer even be sleazy.
This embarrassment lasted for three days. The five people kidnapped seemed like a hot potato. Wei Chao and Wei Yang had already begun to discuss how to deal with it. Finally, a spy from the city sent news. The Fengfeng Academy finally discovered that they were missing. The five people finally began to search for their whereabouts.
"Huh..." Wei Yang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the report. The other party's slowness really made him feel like he had no power to use. Now he can finally proceed.
"Let everyone near Zhaofeng Academy be smart." Wei Chao ordered. They didn't dare to let the spies get too close to the Zhaifeng Academy. They just set up a surveillance circle around the perimeter to observe the actions of the Zhaifeng Academy.
Fang Yizhu and Mo Lin went to find someone.
Fang Yizhu and Mo Lin visited everywhere.
Fang Yizhu and Mo Lin returned to the academy.
Information was sent back to the house one after another, but so far nothing that Wei Yang and Wei Chao wanted to see has appeared. But they didn't wait too long, and soon another piece of information came: Lu Ping left Zhaofeng Academy.
Wei Yang and Wei Chao looked at each other. After waiting for so long, they finally waited for the reaction of their master. What will he do? The two of them were looking forward to it closely, and then, one piece of information after another told them the fact: Lu Ping was coming towards the city lord's palace.
"What does he want to do?" Wei Chao suddenly panicked.
"Did the arrest of those five people leave any traces?" Wei Yang hurriedly found the head of the secret agent who carried out the kidnapping to confirm again.
"Absolutely not!" The little boss was confident. Those five people are not difficult to deal with. With Wei Yang's many warnings and instructions, how could there be any mistakes in such a trivial matter?
"Deal with those five people quickly." Wei Yang said urgently.
"Wait." Wei Chao stopped him again.
"Lu Ping came directly to the door. He doesn't want to be reasonable anymore. What's the use of dealing with him? It's better to stay as a hostage." Wei Chao said to Wei Yang.
"That's right, that's right..." Wei Yang was obviously confused. Being unreasonable has always been the prerogative of their City Lord's Mansion. They can do whatever they want. They have long been accustomed to it, but they never thought that people in the City Lord's Mansion would also be unreasonable.
"Call everyone out!" Wei Chao then shouted.
"Yes!" Some subordinates took the order and hurried away.
…
…
The avenue outside the city lord's mansion is wide, quiet, clean and deserted.
It was on this avenue a year ago that Lu Ping passed by carrying Su Tang on his back. The city lord Wei Zhong ordered to invite him, but he didn't want to go, so he refused.
He didn't think he had done anything wrong, but from the perspective of the City Lord's Mansion, Lu Ping was completely wrong. Xiafeng City is in charge of the entire Xiafeng District, so everyone in the Xiafeng District must listen to the city lord. Saying please is polite, but it is actually an order. Lu Ping dared to refuse the city lord's order, which was simply rebellious. It was the city lord's mercy that he didn't take his life on the spot.
Lu Ping is not unaware of this, he just doesn't take it seriously.
Su Tang was injured and he needed to take her back to rest as soon as possible. This was the most important thing in his mind at the time.
If not, the city lord wanted to see him, so he might go. It didn't matter if it was a request or an order, because he didn't take it seriously.
A year later, he walked on this avenue again. He still didn't take it seriously, but the city lord's palace regarded it as a formidable enemy. A large number of cultivators suddenly poured out of the wide and cold streets.
Most of their realms are at double soul penetration, and triple soul penetration is rare. They have heard about Lu Ping's strength to some extent, but seeing the dense crowd of partners around them, everyone still feels a little at ease.
Wei Yang and Wei Chao finally did not shrink back in the house. They finally took some responsibility, or they felt that it was safest to be with everyone, so they were among these people. Seeing Lu Ping walking step by step, Wei Chao stood out from the crowd.
"I'm looking for someone." Before he could ask, Lu Ping spoke himself, and continued to approach as he spoke.
"Five students from Fengfeng Academy are missing. I think they were taken away by you." Lu Ping said.
"What do you think? What evidence do you have?"
"No, so I came to look for it." Lu Ping said.
"How can the City Lord's Mansion allow people to come and go at will?" Wei Chao shouted.
Lu Ping didn't answer. The arm hanging by his side suddenly lifted up. Without any forceful movement, he hit the wall next to him.
This is the guard wall of the City Lord's Mansion. It is tall and thick. It is made of the hardest rocks that can be found in the Xiafeng Mountain area. Even the piercers of the Soul of Strength cannot easily destroy it.
But Lu Ping's punch on the handle made a loud noise. It didn't crack a few cracks, make a crater, or break a hole. Instead, the entire wall collapsed.
Then Lu Ping walked directly into the courtyard without looking at the people in front of him. Everyone was still stunned on the street, and in the blink of an eye, two figures flew out from the collapsed wall.
"This guy really dares to break in..." Wei Chao was shocked and angry.
"What should I do?" Wei Yang, the initiator, was actually asking. He just felt panicked and had no idea what to do.
He tried his best to avoid confronting Lu Ping, and was preparing to attack and put pressure on Lu Ping from the side. As a result, just when he was about to test the water, Lu Ping went straight to the hard end. There is absolutely no point in kidnapping someone without leaving any traces. People just come to the door and look for evidence first, without asking for evidence.
In this case, wouldn’t the roles be completely reversed? It has always been the City Lord's Mansion that bullied others, why are you being bullied like this now? The Xiafeng City Lord's Mansion may be weaker, but it also has symbolic meaning. It symbolizes the rule of the Xuanjun Empire. If you step on the City Lord's Mansion like this, you will be trampling on the Xuanjun Empire as well!
"We've reached this point, what's the way out?" Wei Chao said through gritted teeth. He is usually the most cautious and cautious, but at critical moments, he is more courageous than Wei Yang.
"But if you fight like this..."
"How can I explain to you if I don't fight you?" Wei Chao said.
Wei Yang suddenly realized that this was no longer a matter of looking for a future for the two of them, but whether the two of them would ignore the dignity of the empire like Lu Ping. If so, they could retreat, but the empire would not be able to tolerate it afterwards. If not, then we should not hesitate to fight even if we risk our lives right now.
A way out? nonexistent.
