I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

The two grand masters still found it a bit strange and didn't understand what she meant.

There were obviously only three of them, so how could it be five against two?
Just when they were confused, another person who was hiding his aura appeared at the same time and appeared in front of them.

The moment they saw it, their eyes widened in shock.

These five people are actually land immortals, and they are all women!

They were extremely shocked and had no idea what was going on.

Jiuyou approached step by step and said in a cold voice.

"Tell me, who sent you here? Who instructed you to do this? Tell me now. Otherwise, your cultivation will be ruined, and your lives will be in danger!"

Upon hearing this, the two of them instantly became timid.

If it was just a land immortal, they might still have a chance of winning with the magic weapons in their hands.

But facing five of them at once, they were naturally no match for them. They could only surrender obediently and did not dare to resist easily.

"We are not being instructed by anyone. We just sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy here, so we came to see what was going on. We didn't expect to offend you ladies. Please forgive us!"

Seeing that he was not honest, Lin'er said coldly.

"You're not going to tell the truth, are you? Then we'll send you to the west first! And then we'll scatter your souls, and you'll disappear forever!"

The two grand masters shook their heads at the same time and explained.

"No, we really didn't lie. We did feel the spiritual energy and came down to check it out. No one sent us here."

Seeing this, Shen Shiyu asked.

"Then what about the prince you just mentioned?"

The two looked at each other and realized that continuing to hide the truth would not do them any good, so they might as well tell the truth directly. Maybe they would still have a chance to survive.

It was precisely because of this that the two of them did not hesitate and told the truth.

"It's like this, we were sent by Prince Jing, and he ordered us to find people with high cultivation and bring them back."

Hearing this, Xiao Xuewei was a little confused.

"Prince Jing? You think we are easy to fool, right? He has always been an idle prince, how could he do such a thing? Even if you want to make up a lie, you have to give a decent reason!"

Lin'er nodded and agreed.

"That's right. Do you think we are so easy to fool? We are not fools. We are not that easy to be fooled!"

The Grand Master shook his head and spoke in a firm tone.

"We are not lying. We are telling the truth. It was indeed Prince Jing who sent us here. Moreover, although he seems to be indifferent to worldly affairs, he actually has great ambitions."

Another grand master also hurriedly added.

"Yes, we are already in your hands. Even if you are lying, you must have found a reliable reason. How could you say such a thing out of nowhere?"

Several people looked at each other and felt that this matter should not be that simple.

After a brief discussion, they decided to lock the man up first.

They are all land immortals, so it is not a problem for them to deal with two people at the grandmaster level.

As long as they were tied up and sealed with a formation, these two would not be able to get out even if they used all their strength.

After being trapped, the two suddenly became anxious.

"We have no way to go out now, and I'm afraid something is going to happen. You know what will happen to us when the prince finds out." Hearing this, the other person didn't care.

"It's already like this, what else can we do? If we go back, we will definitely die. If we can survive, we might as well find a place to hide and see what happens first."

"Besides, I don't think these people have any intention of killing us. Maybe we still have a chance to survive. Let's wait and see what the situation is."

The two discussed it and decided that this was the only way to go for now, as there was no other solution for now.

In the study, several people briefly analyzed the current situation.

The first person to speak was Xiao Xuewei. She still didn't believe what the two grand masters said and found it very strange.

"Prince Jing is lazy and greedy, and everyone knows it. How could he arrange for someone to do this for no reason? This is too outrageous. I think these two people are just looking for excuses. Don't pay any attention to them."

After hearing this, Jiuyou had different ideas.

"It is precisely because everyone knows what kind of person Prince Jing is that they took the initiative to bring it up. Do they want us to question him? They can definitely find another way. It is possible that Prince Jing is really an ambitious person."

After several people thought about it, they still had their own ideas. They didn't know what exactly was going on.

Just when they were getting anxious and angry, Lu Yuan appeared and calmed their noise.

Seeing him suddenly come back, several people's eyes lit up.

"Husband, you are back!"

Lu Yuan nodded and explained briefly.

"I went to the imperial capital and helped Linglong get rid of King Yan. This helped her to settle down temporarily and she no longer had to worry about this matter."

After a pause, he asked.

"I just heard you talking about Prince Jing. Did anything happen to him?"

When asked, Shen Shiyu quickly told them about their encounter with the two great masters.

After hearing this, Lu Yuan was not surprised and just nodded.

"Yes, this incident must have been done by Prince Jing. However, I still have something to ask those two people. Where are they being held captive?"

When the two grandmasters saw Lu Yuan, they felt a very strong pressure, which made them feel a little breathless. This was the aura of a strong man.

Seeing their faces gradually becoming ugly, Lu Yuan restrained his aura and walked towards the two of them.

"Are you people around Prince Jing?"

The two nodded at the same time, and one of the grand masters answered.

"Yes, we are telling the truth. It was Prince Jing who arranged for us to come out and find some capable people to bring back for his use. We have already captured quite a few people and brought them back."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan became curious and asked.

"What's the use of arresting people? There should be a lot of people who don't obey, right?"

The Grand Master nodded and quickly replied.

"Yes, there are indeed many people who are disobedient, but Prince Jing also has his own way."

After a pause, he continued.

"Prince Jing has a strange poison in his hand. Once a person eats it, he will be worse off than dead. Unless he takes the antidote, he can get better temporarily, but there is a time limit." (End of this chapter)
