The 100% natural gas

Chapter 256 Two major methods, unexpected surprise

In the inner city of Gaoliu, the main building of Jiantiansi.

Three middle-aged men, dressed in prison uniforms and wearing iron chains and shackles, stood in the hall.

There was a chief flag-bearer from the Heavenly Monitoring Department, who was patrolling and on guard with several flag-bearers under his command.

The three people in the hall all looked down.

The man in the middle had a broken arm, looked haggard, and had gray hair.

The person on the right is Gao Kui, the deputy commander of the Tiantian Division.

As for the person on the left, he is the youngest and has a cold expression.

Judging from his clothes, they are the robes of the Chief Envoy of the Heavenly Supervisory Department.

The three members of the Liu family all showed surprise in their eyes.

In the entire Tianjian Division, no, to be precise, in the entire Gaoliu City, there is only one person among the younger generation who is qualified to sit at the same table with the commander and deputy commander of the Tianjian Division!

Not long ago, he was still a small flag under the Outer South Division. Not long after he was promoted to the flag bearer of the Linjiang Division, he was promoted as the chief flag bearer.

After being promoted to the position of Chief Bannerman, he went on a killing spree and turned the world upside down. However, not only was he not held accountable afterwards, he even concurrently served as the Inspector of Xincheng!

The post of Inspector was granted by the Gaoliu City Astronomical Supervision Department, and he was only responsible for the jurisdiction within the scope of Gaoliu City, so it was not reported to the Supreme Astronomical Supervision Department Headquarters in Qifeng Prefecture.

Since he had not been appointed as the Heavenly Supervisor of Qifeng Prefecture, Wuchang was still the Chief Envoy.

"I didn't expect that I would actually wait for Master Wu."

The leader laughed.

He is nearly fifty years old, but his energy and blood have not yet declined. He can be considered to be in the upper-middle level in the realm of refining essence.

But at his age, the peak of his prime is about to pass, and he will face the dilemma of declining Qi and blood. It is obviously hopeless for him to reach the Qi Refining Realm.

As for the other two, they are about the same age, and their cultivation is at the peak of internal strength, so it is hopeless for them to reach the realm of refining essence.

The huge Liu family was scattered, and only these three were left to lead the rest of the clansmen.

"..."

The little white ape turned into an impermanent appearance at this moment, quietly looking at the three people from the Liu family without responding.

If the master were still alive, he would certainly act like this.

Then the three of them looked at each other, knelt down and kowtowed to Wuchang.

"Thank you Fifth Master for your mercy and for keeping the innocent members of my Liu family from being implicated!"

The three of them kowtowed respectfully.

The commander-in-chief and Deputy Commander Gao both looked at Wuchang with different expressions.

"Do you three know that your Liu family's ancestor was killed by me?" Wuchang opened his mouth slowly and said this.

"Of course I know." The three members of the Liu family looked at each other and responded.

"Don't you hate me?" Wuchang said lightly.

"The ancestor has become senile in his old age, and has been blinded by greed. Even if there is no opportunity to embezzle materials for the new city expansion today, he will lead the Liu family into a dead end sooner or later!"

The only remaining master of the Liu family at the Refining Essence Realm whispered, "This time, the ancestor has disregarded the interests of the human race and has angered the human race's high-ranking officials. Even if the Fifth Master didn't take action, someone else would have!"

"But I did kill the Liu family's ancestor and destroyed the Liu family's century-old foundation."

"The Fifth Master's sword chopped down the Liu family's giant tree. It could have been uprooted, but it still left the roots of the Liu family!"

"so what?"

"Fifth Master saved our lives. Now, all members of the Liu family, without exception, owe Fifth Master their lives."

The martial artist of the Liu family who was at the Refining Essence Realm bowed and said, "We have a secret method to present to you, Master Wu!"

"..."

The atmosphere in the field was silent for a moment.

Then the commander-in-chief said, "Wu Chang, what do you think?"

Wuchang, the little white ape, was silent for a moment, then said, "What do you think, Commander?"

"The Liu family should have been implicated, but you spoke up to protect them. It's up to you how you deal with them."

The commander said calmly, "Anything they shouldn't have, the Heavenly Supervisors have already found... As for the rest, as long as it doesn't involve laws and regulations, you can do whatever you want."

"Then stay."

This is how impermanence is spoken.

Then the commander nodded, stood up, and said, "The secret method is dedicated to you. I will not share this."

Hearing this, Deputy Commander Gao, who had originally intended to stay, had no choice but to stand up and follow the commander out of the hall.

The hall was silent.

Wuchang looked down at the three people from the Liu family.

Just when the three people from the Liu family were about to speak.

But he heard the Inspector Wuchang above him raise his hand and say: "Perhaps now in the eyes of all parties, I have a bright future and unlimited potential. If you join me, you will have a smooth road ahead!"

"But I can tell you that with my personality, it is inevitable that I will offend various forces."

"And I will not bend the law for personal gain, and I will certainly not distinguish between good and evil in order to protect my own shortcomings."

"If anyone under my command breaks the rules, I will show no mercy!"

"You are already guilty. Even if you are under my command, you cannot become a member of the Heavenly Monitoring Department."

"So, I'll give you a stick of incense, and think carefully!"

As the voice fell, Wuchang in the hall stood up and walked back.

After a while, I saw this "Impermanence" walking quickly into the darkness and whispered, "Master is back?"

"Well done, you have great accomplishments, and your words and actions are quite like my style."

Lin Yan was quite appreciative, patted his head and said, "Next, Master, I will go and see it myself."

"By the way, that Deputy Commander Gao?"

The little white ape whispered, "He's not quite right."

In the darkness at the other end, the figure of a man with a broken arm emerged.

"This little demon is exactly like you."

The commander chuckled and said, "Deputy Commander Gao just left the Tianjian Division's main building. He must be meeting his distinguished guest."

The little white ape suddenly realized what was going on after hearing this, and whispered, "So, we're using him as a witness?"

"Otherwise, why would I ask him to go and greet Wuchang?"

The commander smiled and said, "Recently, Li Xuantong and Deputy Commander Gao have been in close contact! And the head of the Sixth Vein is Li Xuantong's great-uncle! If we want to find out any information, we must go through Deputy Commander Gao!"

"Let's keep the incident of tonight a secret."

Lin Yan said this and took out the note from the Thirteenth Young Master.

"Leave it to Lord Lu. I don't need to read it." The commander exhaled and said, "This matter has nothing to do with me, and I don't have the energy or time to get involved in this matter."

He waved his hand and disappeared into the darkness again.

There was a hint of sadness between Lin Yan's eyebrows.

Then he was seen striding forward and walking into the hall.

When the three members of the Liu family saw the "Inspector Wuchang" come in, they all bowed down.

"The Liu family is at the end of its rope. We only ask for Fifth Master's protection, not for a meteoric rise in power!"

"In fact, you are all smart people." Lin Yan said calmly: "I killed your ancestor and left you roots behind. It's just that the City Guard Mansion and the Heavenly Supervisor are building momentum for me!"

"Fifth Master is humble and does not want to take credit for himself, but your kindness will always be there and we will remember it in our hearts." The three members of the Liu family all kowtowed.

"So, you don't believe what I say?" Lin Yan said with a smile.

"To trust a person, don't look at what he says, but look at what he does."

The Liu family's Refining Essence Realm said in a deep voice: "The ancestor ignored the overall situation of the human race and never cared about the situation of the Liu family's descendants!"

"But the real top leaders of the Liu family, our fellow elders, have already fled to the Canyu Mansion to find another way out!"

"Only Master Wu saved our lives!"

"That's the truth!"

"If any descendant of the Liu family denies this fact, I will personally kill him no matter who he is!"

The Liu family's Jing Lian realm said in a deep voice: "If the descendants of the Liu family are disrespectful to the Fifth Master and have evil thoughts, I will take off their heads and present them to the Fifth Master! If the Fifth Master finds out one day that the descendants of the Liu family, such as us, are secretly plotting and harboring evil intentions, please chop off my head first!"

The little white ape was amazed when he heard this.

The master said it bluntly, the so-called protection of the descendants of the Liu family is nothing more than a publicity stunt.

But the descendants of Liu family refused to acknowledge it at all and insisted on accepting this favor!
"How could someone as smart as you stay in Gaoliu City and be captured by the Tianjiansi?" Lin Yan couldn't help but laugh.

"We are all from the Liu family's branch!" The Liu family's Jing Lian realm said in a low voice: "The first generation ancestor had six sons, and the ancestor you killed was the eldest son! And the current direct descendants of the Liu family are the bloodline passed down by the second ancestor..."

"Although I have the surname Liu, I have never entered the ancestral land of the Liu family." Another martial artist at the peak of his internal strength said slowly, "The Liu family is very prosperous, so it doesn't really matter to us now."

“It’s the same for me.” Another strong warrior sighed and said, “My family lineage has been declining for thirty years. There are few people and we have never been touched by the wealth of the Liu family! I have cultivated martial arts in my life and served in the military. I have made meritorious deeds in the city defense army. I finally became the deputy commander of the inner city’s west gate defense. This time, I was dismissed and investigated. I almost implicated him and my life is in danger!”

"So what you mean is that I only have the last name Liu, and I have little to do with the Liu family, and I have never received any honor from the Liu family. I am innocent because I was affected this time?"

Lin Yan laughed and said this.

"I dare not say I am innocent."

The Liu family's Jing Lian realm master hesitated for a moment and said, "I have a son who died defending the city, leaving behind a granddaughter... She is only five years old!"

"At such an innocent age, she has always been kindhearted and would not even step on an ant. She does not know the ways of the world, let alone the dangers of evil."

"If it weren't for the Fifth Master, she would have only three possible outcomes after the Liu family fell."

"Either I will be implicated and die in the storm, and she will be left alone and bullied! I have seen many such cases, and many of them were sold to brothels!"

"Or she will be implicated and die quickly, saving herself from suffering."

"Or, if she manages to escape the city, the girl who grew up in the city will be exiled to a pure land from now on, bearing the name of a sinner clan, and will never be able to turn over a new leaf in her life!"

He looked at Lin Yan and said in a deep voice: "Fifth Master, there are only a handful of people in Gaoliu City who can protect us, the remnants of the Liu family! But you are the only one who has avoided being implicated and saved us! With such great kindness, I will never dare to betray you!"

Lin Yan looked calm, and immediately said, "Deputy Commander Gao said that you have the ability to help expand the city?"

"My Lord, the Liu family was ordered to expand the outer city and also to assist in the reconstruction of Fengcheng... Expanding the city is a laborious task, and the direct line of the family cannot endure the hardship, so it is us, the side branches, who are sent to perform the hard labor."

The martial artist at the Refining Essence Realm whispered, "My uncle was also an incense burner at the Liuzun Temple. He competed for the position of the eighth temple keeper, but was ultimately defeated! But I learned his skills and am good at construction..."

The other two bowed and said, "The Liu family is in a difficult situation. We hope that Master Wu will show mercy and give us a chance to expand the city! Only if we participate in the expansion of the new city can we hope to take root in the new city in the future! Otherwise, the next generation may have no foundation at all..."

"As long as you have made contributions to building the city, you will be rewarded."

Lin Yan said calmly: "The sooner the city is built, the less hunger and cold many refugees will suffer, and many more people will survive! Therefore, the faster you can participate in building the city, the greater your contribution will be!"

"Did Master Wu agree?"

"You already have the opportunity to participate in the expansion of the new city."

"Thank you, Fifth Master!"

The three of them bowed down.

Then, the Liu family warrior who was at the Jinglian realm was seen reciting the mantra silently.

"Ok?"

Lin Yan frowned slightly and said slowly: "Methods to remove the alien true qi?"

"Exactly!"

The Liu family's Jing-refining-level warrior whispered, "The ancestor's secret method is hidden in many places, and I was responsible for building one of them! After the ancestor's death, the Liu family was in chaos, and I took the opportunity to snatch two volumes of the method!"

He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "There is another skill that relies on physical combat, but it seems that even the ancestor's physical body can't support it, so it is sealed..."

Lin Yan pondered and said, "A physique at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, unable to maintain the physical fighting technique?"

“It should be an ancient method.”

The Liu family's martial artist who was at the Refining Spirit Realm whispered, "Back then, the Liu family secretly trained a group of elite warriors, all of whom were direct descendants of the family. They specialized in excavating clean lands in various places and searching for ancient methods or antiques. The ones who escaped to the Canyu Mansion in advance this time were this group of elite warriors! In fact, every family in the inner city has them..."

"What's your name?"

Lin Yan spoke slowly.

At the beginning, when he interrogated the people of the Liu family, he just followed the commander's arrangement and used Deputy Commander Gao as a witness.

I didn't expect that I would get such a pleasant surprise.

"My name is Liu Yuqing."

-

At the same time, Deputy Commander Gao had already left the main building of the Tianjiansi.

In front of him was a middle-aged man, Li Xuantong's personal bodyguard.

"Are you sure that Wuchang is himself?"

"The person I picked up is Impermanence, there will be no mistakes."

"Did he leave during the interrogation?"

"I never left. The commander, the Wuchang patrol officer, and I interrogated him together. Until just now, the Liu family presented a secret method, so I had to come out."

"So, Wuchang has always been in the inner city."

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and said immediately, "You can go back now, but don't let people get suspicious! Don't worry, the eldest master will definitely not forget to support you when he ascends to a high position in the future!"

"Thank you, Master, for me!"

Deputy Commander Gao looked pleased and nodded.

In his eyes, although Li Xuantong did not hold a high-level position in Qifeng Prefecture, he was the son of the city governor of Qifeng Prefecture!

And this time, he even knew that the chief immortal of the sixth branch of the holy land was actually an elder of the Li family!
To be honest, Li Xuantong's cultivation, talent, ability and other aspects may not be as good as Wuchang's, but his weight is even greater!
