From the fake emperor to the concubine

Lu Xiang vaguely heard someone explaining outside.

The crowd then continued to move towards Graphite City.

"Where am I?"

Lu Xiang clutched the quilt tightly in her hands.

She found that her clothes had been changed inside and out. Didn't this mean that something terrible had happened while she was unconscious?
The most terrifying thing is.

She felt weak all over and had dull pain on the insides of her legs.

The symptoms are exactly the same as what the old lady at home described.

Lu Xiang felt a chill in her heart, and the man she saw before she fell into a coma quickly appeared in her mind.

She bit her lip and said bitterly, "There is not a single good man in the world. Although they have the looks of Pan An, they are full of wolfish ambitions."

As she was reciting the Tao.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Zheng Yi lifted the curtain in front of the carriage and walked into the carriage with a calm look.

Seeing this familiar face, Lu Xiang could no longer hold back the grievances in her heart.

Although she only had a trace of spiritual power that had just been restored and her body was still very weak, she still forced herself to pounce on Zheng Yi and said, "You lecher.

Even if it costs my life, I will die with you!"

As soon as Lu Xiang started.

Zheng Yi flicked his index finger and tapped her forehead. With a little force, Lu Xiang lay down again.

Under the suppression of Zheng Yi.

She was powerless to resist.

Seeing that Lu Xiang still wanted to resist, Zheng Yi patiently explained: "First, I am not a pervert, but your savior; second, I have not done anything bad to you.

The women in the caravan helped to change the clothes and bedding;
Third, I am married. My maids are a hundred times better than you in terms of looks. I don’t even look down on you.”

Zheng Yi finished explaining.

Sit quietly aside, lower the car curtains, and look at the scenery outside.

He brought Lu Xiang with him just to make things easier for him in Graphite City.

If the Zheng family only relies on Tiannan Market, it will be a bit slow to develop.

Graphite City is a good direction.

After all, Tiannan Market is inextricably linked to the Tianxuan Sword Sect in any way. Zheng Yi doesn't want his development channels to be controlled by only one company. That would be too dangerous.

Plus, Lu Xiang came to him on her own initiative.

It was just a simple thing for him, so why not do it?
……

There was a moment of silence in the carriage. Lu Xiang's pretty face turned slightly red and her face felt hot.

She checked her body and found that it hurt when she rubbed the inside of her legs. This was caused by being scratched by leaves when she was escaping in the mountains, but she was not a virgin.

It seems that Zheng Yi is not the scoundrel she thought he was, but rather her savior.

Lu Xiang lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, burying her round little head in front of his bulging chest. After a long while, she asked softly, "Where are we going now?"

Zheng Yi glanced at her and replied, "Graphite City."

Then, Zheng Yi told the second young lady of the Lu family about their current situation.

After learning about the situation, Lu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Before she could say sorry to Zheng Yi, Zheng Yi stood up and left the carriage.

Lu Xiang stopped lying down and quickly got off the carriage and found Zheng Yi in the team.

This caravan was unremarkable. The strongest person in the team was only in the late Qi Refining stage. In the eyes of Lu Xiang, the second young lady of the Lu family, he was not worth mentioning at all.

At this moment, Lu Xiang was full of doubts.

She ran to Zheng Yi anxiously and asked worriedly, "My eldest sister, is the eldest lady of the Lu family dead or alive?"

Zheng Yi replied: "I don't know."

"You must know!"

As Lu Xiang spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, her eyes slightly red, and she continued to look at Zheng Yi expectantly, her hands tightly grasping Zheng Yi's light blue embroidered robe, refusing to let go, "I know that you can safely retreat in that canyon, and you can also save me, you must not be an ordinary person.

Please, Senior."

“You guessed wrong, I am just an ordinary person.

Saving you was just a matter of convenience."

As Zheng Yi spoke, he slightly released his own cultivation power, but it was just the aura of an ordinary cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining.

“Before you fell unconscious, the cultivator from the Hongchenfang puppet lineage retreated in shock.

It's not because of me, but the ancestor of the Sun family, the ancestor of your Lu family, and the foundation-building master behind the Hongchenfang puppet lineage, that is, their elders are anxious.

That’s why he left in a hurry. It really has nothing to do with me.”

Zheng Yi's tone was flat, revealing a sense of alienation.

He didn't want to have any more involvement with the second young lady of the Lu family.

Going to Graphite City, even if it was to open up development channels for the family, Zheng Yi only wanted to fight a preliminary battle in the early stage, and then hand over the relevant affairs to those in the family who were in the late Qi Refining stage or above.

Although among the women in Zheng Yi's mansion, only one has reached the foundation-building stage and can hold the overall situation, but with Zheng Yi's current strength in the middle stage of foundation-building.

With the title of a second-grade alchemist, it should be no problem for him to recruit worshippers in the late stage of Qi Refining.

The family has been recruiting people all the time, and I believe that when he returns to the family, there will be good gains.

By then.

Sending these people to Graphite City can be considered an assessment of them.

After listening to Zheng Yi's words and feeling the aura emanating from him, I realized that this aura could not be fake.

Lu Xiang's eyes were red, and regardless of her injured body, she turned around and wanted to walk towards the Yitiantian Canyon.

But she is physically weak and mentally exhausted, how long can she hold on?

crucial moment.

Zheng Yi’s voice came from behind: “We are almost at Graphite City.

Instead of going alone, you might as well go back to the Lu family.

Even if we cannot invite your Lu family ancestor, who is a master of the foundation-building realm, the Lu family head and the many Qi-refining masters in the clan are definitely better than you alone."

After saying that, Zheng Yi turned around.

He continued to admire the wonders of the rocks and mountains beside the official road, and did not care whether the second young lady of the Lu family stayed or left.

Although Lu Xiang looked stubborn, she was smart and quickly returned to the carriage to continue recuperating and healing her injuries.

We spent the night in the suburbs without any trouble.

On the second day, as soon as it was light, the caravan set off in a hurry.

Before the city gates were opened and the formation was dissolved, the caravan was already ready and would enter the city as soon as the gates opened.

"I owe you a favor."

Lu Xiang looked at Zheng Yi with complicated eyes and said.

Zheng Yi replied: "Got it."

Afterwards, Lu Xiang quickly ran towards the Lu family.

Zheng Yi began to investigate in Graphite City, looking for a place that could be used as a shop for the Zheng family to run in Graphite City so that they could settle down in the early stages.

Lu Xiang ran all the way back to the Lu family and came to the meeting hall.

At this time, the elders of the Lu family and her father, the head of the Lu family, had been discussing for a long time.

"The Blood Burst Pill and Bone Dissolving Powder used by the puppet lineage of Hongchen Workshop this time are of excellent quality. I'm afraid Hongchen Workshop has gained another second-grade alchemist."

The head of the Lu family is intimidating without even getting angry. He has a square face, a full forehead, and a solemn expression.

Many family patriarchs below were also suffering.

"Not only did my Lu family lose many soldiers and generals this time, but the Sun family also suffered heavy casualties. Even the young master of the Sun family was transformed into a puppet zombie."

"Our two big families, the Lu family and the Sun family, can still dominate this Graphite City with the help of the City Lord, the Crystal Master.

But if we fight against those powerful Jindan forces." "Even if we have magical powers, many flaws will be exposed."

Many elders of the tribe could only swallow the bitter fruit helplessly.

Just then, Lu Xiang rushed back from outside after traveling thousands of miles.

"Xiang'er, come back!"

The head of the Lu family was overjoyed to see his daughter return safely, and he quickly went forward and hugged her.

Lu Xiang's eyes were slightly red, and she asked in a choked voice, "Has my sister come back?"

Lu Xiang still held on to the last glimmer of hope, but she also vaguely guessed the answer in her heart.

In order to cover their evacuation that day, the eldest lady of the Lu family attracted many people from the Hongchen Workshop puppet lineage who were in the late stage of Qi training to chase after them, which allowed most of the Lu family disciples to escape.

Otherwise, the whole army would be wiped out like the Sun family.

This is the fate that the younger generation of the Lu family may face.

"Xiang'er, from now on, you are the only heir of the Lu family and your father's only daughter."

The head of the Lu family spoke slowly and gave the answer.

Lu Xiang's heart was shocked.

She shook her head frantically in her father's arms: "Father, you are lying to Xiang'er, right?
My sister is the future foundation-building stage of the Lu family. How could she lose her life so easily?

No, absolutely not! "

While speaking loudly, Lu Xiang broke free from her father's arms and ran out.

Seeing this, the head of the Lu family felt lost.

But a moment passed.

He still tried hard to suppress the bitterness in his heart and ordered the guards around him: "Send someone to follow the young lady. The Lu family has already injured many people, and no more accidents can happen."

"Yes, my lord."

Two guards in the late Qi Refining stage walked out of the meeting room and immediately chased after Lu Xiang, following the trail left by her.

In the meeting room, the head of the Lu family had a helpless look on his face and looked weak all over. The many elders below were also silent.

after all.

How can their small Lu family compete with Hongchenfang, which possesses the great power of Jindan?

If things get out of hand, I'm afraid even the Crystal City Lord of Graphite City won't be able to protect them.

Even the Jindan ancestor doesn't need to take action. As long as the seniors with crystal cultivation in the puppet lineage take action, I'm afraid the Lord of Graphite City will sell out everyone in the Lu family.

In the eyes of the Crystal Power.

The life and death of these people is really unimportant.

"Xiang'er, father is powerless. I hope you don't blame me or the Lu family."

The head of the Lu family sighed inwardly, but there was nothing he could do.

Lu Xiang left the Lu family and wanted to leave Graphite City.

But before he reached the city gate, he was stopped by two guards who arrived shortly afterwards.

Her strength from the late stage of Qi training had not yet recovered, so she couldn't get through at all.

"Step aside!"

There was a chill in Lu Xiang's voice.

The two guards’ expressions remained unchanged, they just bowed and said repeatedly: “Please go back, young lady, we are also following orders when we act in Graphite City.

The master's order is hard to disobey, young lady cannot leave the city."

The two spoke sincerely.

Lu Xiang resisted for a while, but finally had no choice but to give up.

At this moment, her cultivation was insufficient and she couldn't even defeat the two guards in front of her, let alone avenge her sister and take revenge on the puppet lineage of Hongchenfang.

This idea is really unrealistic.

For a moment, Lu Xiang burst into tears, leaving streaks on her face.

the other side.

Zheng Yi has found several suitable places in Graphite City, signed the contract and paid the advance payment, and then sent someone to deliver the news back to the Zheng family. The Zheng family will send someone over soon.

In this way, we can set up camp in Graphite City.

After finishing the things at hand, Zheng Yi found a house in the city and bought it for three hundred low-grade spirit stones.

Although this house is haunted by evil spirits, it is not a problem for Zheng Yi.

The man from the Ya tribe knew very well that Zheng Yi was a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, so he did not dare to deceive him in the slightest. After receiving the spirit stones, he left respectfully. After all, he knew the situation clearly.

If Zheng Yi came to the door, the City Lord's Mansion would not interfere.

Although the city lord is a crystal-powerful being, it is impossible for him to do everything by himself. In Graphite City, cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage are targets that cannot be easily provoked.

He is a powerful local figure.

Zheng Yi pushed the door open and entered the house. A cold chill hit him in the face, and a strong, pure yin energy suddenly rushed towards him on this spring day.

This yin energy might be a little troublesome for ordinary cultivators.

However, the martial arts that Zheng Yi practiced were related to the Yin-Yang Sword, and he had some control over the pure Yin energy between heaven and earth, so he was naturally not afraid.

Zheng Yi stood where he was.

As he practiced the Nine Yin Huan Yang technique, a bright light suddenly shone from the surface of his body.

Wherever the light reached, all the pure yin energy was absorbed.

After a while, all the negative energy in the house was absorbed by Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi followed the source of the pure yin energy and discovered that it was actually an ancient well.

He looked over.

The next moment, a turbid gas gushed out of the well.

Even with Zheng Yi's powerful Jindan stage consciousness, there was a moment when he almost failed to dodge.

Zheng Yi looked solemn, thinking that there might be some powerful monster hidden under this ancient well.

In the midst of thoughts.

He formed some hand gestures and quickly set up several formations.

This formation connects to the spiritual vein under Graphite City, converts it into spiritual power, and then absorbs the pure yang energy from the sky - the flame of the sun, and converts it into blazing magic power.

In order to counteract the turbid air in the ancient well.

Zheng Yi waved his right hand and placed dozens of soul-eating herbs around the ancient well.

The Soul-Eating Grass King has been sent back to the family, and the remaining Soul-Eating Grasses come in handy at this moment.

Several sets of methods were used.

The things in the ancient well posed no threat to him for the time being.

Zheng Yi took a look and saw that the Soul-Devouring Grass gently absorbed the turbid air leaking out of the formation, transforming it into pure spiritual energy that floated between heaven and earth.

He thought for a moment, then waved his hand again and set up a spirit gathering formation.

Channel these pure spiritual energies and trap them in this small world.

This place would become his temporary place of training in Graphite City in the future, and it should be helpful for him to break through to the late stage of foundation building.

Zheng Yi settled down in the mansion.

The sudden appearance of this Foundation Establishment cultivator caused quite a stir in Graphite City.

"A brand new cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Could it be that someone from the Puppet lineage is attacking us?"

The head of the Sun family is tall and strong with a rough face, but he has a delicate mind.

at this time.

He was standing in the front yard, pacing back and forth with a swaying mustache. There was no trace of pity on his face for the loss of his descendants, and he fully demonstrated the demeanor of a head of the family who cared about his family.

He looked at the family's worshippers.

Several of them are also masters of the foundation-building realm, but most of them usually follow orders but not instructions. Unless the Sun family encounters a major crisis, they will not easily take action. (End of this chapter)
