Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

The eunuch was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage: "How dare you! How could the imperial edict be false! How dare you question the imperial edict? Your crime is even more serious!"

Lu Yuan sneered: "If I'm not mistaken, this imperial edict should have been forged by the city lord, right?"

Upon hearing this, the city lord's face turned even paler. He pointed at Lu Yuan and said tremblingly, "You...you are slandering me!"

Lu Yuan ignored him and turned to look at the eunuch, saying, "Eunuch, you have been with this incompetent city lord for a long time, and you must have picked up a lot of bad habits. How about this, you cooperate with me and expose the city lord's crimes, and I will guarantee you wealth and glory, how about that?"

There was a hint of hesitation in the eunuch's eyes. Although he was an imperial envoy sent by the emperor, in fact, he had been bribed by the city lord long ago, and this imperial edict was indeed forged by the city lord.

"You...what evidence do you have?" the eunuch asked tentatively.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly: "As for the evidence, of course there is one." He clapped his hands, and the women in the secret room, led by several guards, slowly walked out.

When the eunuch saw these women, his face changed drastically. He knew that he had made a wrong bet.

"Eunuch, what do you have to say now?" Lu Yuan looked at the eunuch with a smile.

The eunuch's face turned pale and blue, and finally, he fell to his knees with a plop, crying, "Master Lu, spare my life! I am forced into this situation!"

Lu Yuan looked down at him and said calmly, "You know how to beg for mercy now? It's too late."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yuan flashed and appeared in front of the eunuch in an instant, slapping him on the crown of his head.

The eunuch collapsed to the ground and died without even having time to utter a scream.

This scene frightened the city lord so much that he ran to Lu Yuan, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Master Lu, please spare my life! Master Lu, please spare my life! I have offended Master Lu, I beg you to forgive me and spare my life!"

Lu Yuan looked at him coldly, his eyes full of disgust. "Forgive you? You've harmed so many innocent women. Do you think you deserve to live in this world?"

The city lord was so frightened that he was shaking all over. He knew that he was doomed. He raised his head, a trace of madness flashed in his eyes, and he roared: "Lu Yuan, even if you kill me, you can't escape! The emperor will not let you go!"

Lu Yuan sneered: "The Emperor? Who is he?"

After saying that, Lu Yuan slapped the city lord with one palm, and he died instantly.

After dealing with the city lord and the eunuch, Lu Yuan turned to look at the women and said softly, "You are free."

When the women heard this, they were stunned for a moment, then burst into cheers. They knelt before Lu Yuan, kowtowed and thanked him with tears in their eyes.

Lu Yuan helped them up and said, "You don't have to thank me. This is what I should do."

After settling these women, Lu Yuan left Tianfeng City. He knew that killing the city lord and the imperial envoy would definitely attract the attention of the court, but he didn't care.

He is invincible, and there is nothing in this world that can scare him.

After leaving Tianfeng City, Lu Yuan headed westwards to the legendary Death Desert.

It is said that there are many ancient treasures hidden in the Death Desert, and the purpose of Lu Yuan's trip is to find these treasures.

After entering the Death Desert, Lu Yuan felt a burning breath coming towards him. In the desert, the sun was blazing, the sky was full of yellow sand, and the temperature was extremely high. Ordinary people could not survive here at all.

But for Lu Yuan, this temperature was nothing. He walked forward and soon went deep into the desert. At this moment, he suddenly felt a strong breath approaching quickly...

The scorching wind blew up the sand, which cut into Lu Yuan's face like countless tiny blades. He narrowed his eyes and spread his consciousness. The powerful aura was getting closer and closer, carrying a fierce aura, which made him sneer. "Interesting."

Amid the yellow sand, a huge figure gradually emerged. It was a huge sandworm, ten feet long, covered with hard scales, gleaming with a metallic luster. It opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp teeth, let out a deafening roar, and pounced towards Lu Yuan.

"You beast, you're looking for death!" A trace of disdain flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes. He stood still, just gently raised his right hand and grabbed the sandworm in mid-air.

An invisible force instantly imprisoned the sandworm in mid-air, and no matter how it struggled, it could not move at all.

"You are just an ant-like thing, yet you dare to act so presumptuously in front of me." Lu Yuan snorted coldly and suddenly clenched his five fingers.

"Oh!"

The sandworm's huge body exploded instantly, turning into a cloud of blood mist and scattered all over the ground.

After easily getting rid of the sandworm, Lu Yuan continued to move forward. The Death Desert was indeed a dangerous place. He had just entered the desert for a short time and encountered such a powerful monster. However, for him, these were just a piece of cake.

After walking for about half a day, Lu Yuan came to an oasis. This oasis was not big, but full of vitality, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding desolate desert.

"Hmm? Is there someone?" Lu Yuan sensed the presence of human beings in the oasis. He flashed and instantly appeared in the center of the oasis.

In the center of the oasis, there is a simple wooden house. In front of the house, a woman in white clothes is sitting and making tea.

The woman had an extremely beautiful appearance and an extraordinary temperament, like a fairy from heaven, which made people feel awe.

"Miss, sorry to bother you." Lu Yuan said with a bow.

The woman raised her head and saw Lu Yuan. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled slightly: "Sir, you have come from afar, please take a seat."

Lu Yuan didn't hesitate and walked over to sit down opposite the woman.

"Girl, why are you in this death desert?" Lu Yuan asked.

The woman smiled and said, "My name is Bai Suzhen, and I am the guardian of this oasis."

"Guardian?" Lu Yuan was a little curious, "Is there anything else in this oasis that needs to be protected?"

Bai Suzhen sighed and said, "My lord, you don't know that there is an ancient vicious beast sealed under this oasis. I have been guarding here for generations to prevent the beast from breaking the seal and causing harm to the world."

"Ancient vicious beast?" Lu Yuan became interested. "What kind of vicious beast is it?"

Bai Suzhen said solemnly, "It is an ancient beast named Taotie. This Taotie is extremely cruel and bloodthirsty. If it is allowed to break the seal and come out, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Taotie..." A gleam of light flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes, "I would like to see it for myself."

Bai Suzhen said quickly: "Master, you must not do that! This Taotie is very powerful, even I am no match for it. If you approach it rashly, you may be in danger of your life!"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, young lady. I know what to do." (End of this chapter)
