Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng were sitting in the courtyard, enjoying tea and reminiscing about old times. They had a very pleasant chat.

Not long after, Li Xunying walked in.

He walked quickly towards Lu Chuan, "Brother, I have brought the people over and asked them to start preparing to continue working again."

“How do we proceed?”

After Lu Chuan thought for a moment, he said, "Find some people to observe at the door. If we see any suspicious people leaving the city, we will follow them."

Li Xunying nodded heavily, "I'll tell people to do it right now."

Lu Chuan continued to ponder, and suddenly raised his hand and called out to Li Xunying, "Let's just leave the city and wait for those people halfway."

"Otherwise, I will always feel uneasy."

Lu Chuan put down his tea cup and stood up.

Dongfang Cheng also stood up quickly, looked at Lu Chuan, and said, "How about I go there with you?"

"You couldn't have done much in the past."

"I want to see if those people are the city lord's people. If so, I will come back immediately and notify Dongfang Mansion. I will never interfere with your next actions. If you want to kill the city lord, you can do it at will!"

Hearing this, Lu Chuan looked at Dongfang Cheng with a smile, "With your words, I feel more confident. Let's go out of the city together."

"By the way, I know a secret passage that allows us to leave Lincheng without passing through the door."

Dongfang Cheng leaned next to Lu Chuan and said cautiously.

Hearing this, Lu Chuan smiled and patted his shoulder, "Really? Then take us there quickly!"

Immediately, the servants prepared three horses and led them all the way to the door.

Lu Chuan, Li Xunying, and Dongfang Cheng were preparing to leave the Lu Mansion.

After leaving Lu Mansion, Lu Chuan and Li Xunying followed Dongfang Cheng, and the three of them arrived at an abandoned wooden house on the edge of the city.

"This wooden house was once one of our properties. It was a recruitment point at that time. At that time, our Dongfang Mansion was the largest elixir cultivation family in Lin City. The elixirs produced on more than a dozen mountains outside were We harvest all the medicines, but with the increasing lack of spiritual energy, this industry has gradually declined."

"Now, this place is deserted. We once dug an underground passage here for delivery. This way we can avoid entering through the city gate, which would be too conspicuous."

"Our business was booming at that time, and we were afraid that others would be jealous of us, so we dug a special tunnel."

"Anyway, if we pass through this tunnel, we can reach the outside of the city."

While introducing, he got off his horse and tied the horse aside. He and Lu Chuan walked into the abandoned wooden house together.

As soon as I walked in, I smelled a rotten mold smell.

"This place has been in disrepair and is now dilapidated, but the good thing is that no one will pay attention to it."

"Come on, go down from here, we will enter the tunnel, and we can leave Lincheng quietly."

Dongfang Cheng came to a wooden board, cleaned the dust and fallen leaves, and opened the rotten board.

Then, a tunnel appeared in Lu Chuan's eyes.

After the three people entered one after another, they began to move forward along the dark tunnel.

Lu Chuan raised his left hand, and a ball of sun fire appeared in his palm. Under the light of the fire, the three of them walked quickly through the tunnel.

After about ten minutes, they reached the end.

Following the stairs to the ground, the three of them appeared in the wilderness.

Finally coming out, Lu Chuan glanced around. It was a wilderness and there was no human habitation around.

"We're out now, but we haven't prepared any horses. How can we leave here on horseback?" Li Xunying asked curiously.

"How about I go back again?"

Lu Chuan shook his head, "That's not necessary. Let's walk towards the road ahead and ambush nearby. If we see that team leaving the city, we will directly stop them!"

After Lu Chuan finished speaking, he led the two of them to the roadside and began to ambush.

It's hard to say whether he can wait for someone, but at present, Lu Chuan firmly believes that he has not been exposed yet, and the city lord definitely has no idea who the murderer he has found is, so there is a high probability that he will continue to send people out of the city to continue attacking the Lu Mansion's mineral veins.

Lu Chuan waited on the side of the road for a while, hiding in the grass and hiding his figure as much as possible.

Suddenly, Lu Chuan saw a team riding horses from a distance.

This team was obviously completely different from the others who passed by. There were more than a dozen people, all riding fast horses, and they were in a hurry, as if there was something urgent.

"The target is here, get ready to take action."

After Lu Chuan finished speaking, he drew the Soul-Destroying Sword from his back.

If these dozen or so people were all at the Martial Emperor level, then he would have to use all his strength to deal with them.

Otherwise, it is very likely that you will be beaten and put at a disadvantage.

Just when the cavalry was about to ride over, Lu Chuan suddenly rushed out and stood in the middle of the road.

Li Xunying, on the other hand, held the dagger tightly with both hands, one hand holding it forward and the other backward, always ready to take action.

At this moment, the team suddenly pulled up the reins, and all the horses were stopped at the same time.

Immediately, the person in the lead looked at Lu Chuan and shouted loudly: "Who dares to block our way? You don't want to live, right?"

Everyone in front of them was wearing masks, and their appearance could not be clearly seen.

Lu Chuan held the Soul-Breaking Sword tightly, looked at them, and said coldly: "Don't you guys know me? My name is Lu Chuan."

When the leader heard the word "Lu Chuan", he was immediately shocked. He leaned back with his upper body and looked at Lu Chuan in surprise.

"You...you are Lu Chuan? Why did you stop us?"

He asked rhetorically.

Lu Chuan couldn't help but laugh, "You don't know why I stopped you, do you?"

"Keep it up again and again, and again, and again, and again, you guys are addicted, right?"

The captain who took the lead immediately retorted: "We don't know what you are talking about, and it has nothing to do with us if you repeat it over and over again."

Behind him, the others started talking quietly, all surprised by the situation in front of them.

"Are you a member of the city lord's staff?"

"Yes... so what? What do you want to do?"

"Since you are from the city lord, why do you have to wear a mask when traveling? Obviously you are doing some shameful things. I know exactly what you are going to do next. Do you think I don't know?"

"You know exactly what we are going to do? Don't be kidding. We are just out hunting. We have nothing else to do. You are overthinking it."

Lu Chuan sneered and continued to ask: "Where are you going to hunt? You're not going to hunt in the mines of our Lu Mansion, are you?"

As soon as these words came out, the captain immediately reprimanded: "Lu Chuan, something happened in your house, don't pour dirty water on us. Aren't you afraid of offending the city lord by slandering us out of thin air?"

He snapped angrily, obviously reacting violently to Lu Chuan's words. (End of chapter)
