Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 259 Intelligence
The light in Master Yu Song's eyes dimmed. As a Jindan Master, he had lost his freedom and became a prisoner, which made him too ashamed to continue living.

"Master Yu Song, what brings you to Anqingcheng?" Li Zhen asked calmly.

"Are you the city lord?" Master Yu Song looked at Li Zhen and asked back.

Li Zhen stood in the main seat, while Gu Zhenren and Li Da, two Jindan Zhenren, stood below with their hands behind their backs. From this, one can see Li Zhen's status here.

"Answer my question!" Li Zhen waved his hand lightly, and a faint ray of lightning fell on Master Yu Song.

The lightning entered Master Yu Song's body, which is the part of the human body where pain is felt most intensely. This is the knowledge of the Immortal Kingdom.

Master Yu Song tightly closed his mouth to avoid screaming, but he could only hold on for two breaths before he could no longer endure it.

The screams made him lose his dignity as a Jindan Zhenren, and his pride was shattered.

"A Jindan cultivator's body has good recovery ability. Guess how long you can last, one day? Two days? A month? Or even a year?" Li Zhen's voice was like the whisper of a devil.

"I said it!" Master Yu Song said forcefully.

If the question Li Zhen asked involved Master Yu Song's secret, it would make sense for Master Yu Song to insist on his actions until his death.

But the questions Li Zhen asked were not secrets, and Master Yu Song did not want to be tortured by them.

Li Zhen smiled slightly and retracted the lightning.

"I received a piece of information that the former lord of Anqing City and the new lord fought a fierce battle and both were injured. The new lord is now recuperating, so I came to Anqing City to take a look!" Master Yu Song told what he knew.

"Where did you get the information?" Li Zhen asked.

"The independent cultivator who disclosed this information was killed!" Master Yu Song replied helplessly.

In fact, after he received the intelligence, he immediately sent people to investigate the source of the intelligence.

It was precisely because the force that provided the intelligence handled it extremely cleanly that made him even more convinced of the authenticity of the intelligence.

"City Lord, I think this might have been done by the Cuihong Sect!" Master Gu interrupted.

He was trying to flatter Cuihong Sect in front of Li Zhen. As long as Li Zhen had a bad impression towards Cuihong Sect, he could use Li Zhen as a channel to destroy Cuihong Sect in the future.

"You should send someone to investigate this matter, with a focus on Cuihong Sect's recent actions!" Li Zhen hesitated for a moment. He did not really believe in Master Gu, nor did he want to be used by Master Gu to destroy Cuihong Sect.

"Please give me five days!" Master Gu did not back down, he bowed and said.

"Okay!" Li Zhen agreed.

"How did he deal with it?" Master Gu pointed at Master Yu Song on the ground and asked Li Zhen.

"Wait until we capture the other Jindan cultivators and check their confessions before killing them all!" Li Zhen thought for a while and decided.

He waved to the four limbs, and the four limbs turned into lightning and left again.

Sizu once again left Anqing City to look for other Jindan Zhenren.

"City Lord, there is no deep hatred between us. I am willing to pay a price that will satisfy you, but I only ask for your life!" After hearing the word "kill", Master Yu Song begged while he was still able to speak.

"No need, your golden elixir is the best price!" Li Zhen waved his hand to block Master Yu Song's ability to speak, and said lightly.

Master Gu went to arrange the investigation. Although the Shifang Valley was broken, some useful hidden pieces were still left there.

In addition, he also used the power of Anqing City to investigate the movements of Jindan Zhenren in other places.

After a while, Sizu captured two Jindan early stage real people. No other Jindan early stage real people were found in Anqing City, so there was no need to go to any farther places.

Including Master Yu Song, the three Jindan Masters were not wealthy and each had only one low-grade magic weapon.

Li Da killed the three Jindan Zhenren, took the Jindan and gave it to Li Zhen, who collected the bodies and used them for corpse refining.

It took only three days instead of five days for Gu Zhenren to report to Li Zhen. "Report to the city lord, as Yu Song Zhenren said, there is news that the new city lord of Anqing City is seriously injured and in seclusion, and only two Jindan early stage cultivators, Li Da and I, are in charge. The interests of Anqing City are greatly affected, and it has attracted the attention of many forces." Gu Zhenren bowed and reported.

"Are there any late Jindan cultivators who want to intervene?" Li Zhen asked in a deep voice.

"I haven't heard of any late Jindan cultivators in the ten nearby cities, and I'm not sure about places farther away. I don't think they will receive news from here, let alone be interested in Anqing City!" Master Gu shook his head and explained.

Li Zhen felt much more relieved. Although he had many methods and his combat power was at the late Jindan level, no one who could become a late Jindan cultivator was without a trump card in his hand.

In the short term, he did not want to become an enemy of the powerful late Jindan cultivator. He wanted to wait until his Qi training level was raised to the late Jindan stage, and then he could find a few top-grade magic weapons. Only then would it be his chance to fight the late Jindan cultivator.

"Master Xu of Cuihong Sect has not left the sect, but according to the information I have received, Cuihong Sect has sent out many disciples, and their whereabouts are very secretive!" Master Gu continued.

The reason why Cuihong Sect's intelligence was so detailed was that he had mobilized many spies.

There is a very high risk of being discovered when a secret agent tries to eavesdrop on intelligence, so the secret agents will not be used unless they encounter important intelligence.

"No matter it is Cuihong Sect or not, just assume it is his doing and continue to collect more information about Cuihong Sect. I plan to make a show of force soon!" Li Zhen said with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Although three Jindan Zhenren died in Anqing City this time, it is not enough. If the Cuihong Sect is destroyed, it will warn the surrounding forces.

"I will do my best to investigate!" Master Gu suppressed his inner excitement and said with a bow.

A few days later, a detailed document was delivered to Li Zhen.

This was detailed information about the Cuihong Sect. He read it from the beginning very quickly, but stopped when he saw the last page.

"Master Gu, are you sure that Cuihong Sect still has a Jindan cultivator? What's his cultivation level?" Li Zhen asked Master Gu while tapping the information with his fingers.

“I cannot confirm his cultivation level, and even the existence of this Jindan cultivator is just my guess.

Originally, Shifang Valley also had a Jindan senior brother who was in seclusion, but unfortunately, he died ten years ago due to exhaustion of his lifespan. I suspect that Cuihong Sect knew about this and took the initiative to plot against Shifang Valley. "Master Gu shook his head and replied.

"The presence of two Jindan cultivators is not surprising. It all depends on the formation of Cuihong Sect!" Li Zhen made the decision after thinking for a moment.

"Master Gu, you are responsible for mobilizing the formation masters in the city, and then drawing some trustworthy monks from various forces as standby!" he continued to order.

It only took one day from making the decision to taking action.

Li Zhen did not bring Li Da with him. He left Li Da in Anqing City and stationed him at the core of the formation in the City Lord's Mansion.

And Master Gu did not have to follow Li Zhen. He was responsible for bringing a group of cultivators to Cuihong Sect and waiting for Li Zhen to deal with Cuihong Sect. These cultivators would then enter the sect and take over various places.

Li Zhen sat on the back of the four-legged creature, which carried him to a distant place.

Master Gu, who was gathering the leaders of several major forces in the city, turned his head and looked in the direction where Li Zhen disappeared in the sky. He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that everything would go well.

If Li Zhen fails, his wish to rebuild Shifang Valley will largely be impossible to achieve.

After Li Zhen left Anqing City for a distance, he put his four legs back into the spirit beast bag, and then performed the "Qingmu Sky Patrol Technique". His whole body was wrapped in a faint green light, and his flying speed suddenly increased a lot.

The 'Qingmu Sky Patrol Technique' saved him a lot of time, giving him enough time to break through the Cuihong Sect's formation.

In fact, he was still very confident about breaking the formation.

His cultivation level in the third late stage of body refining gave him the idea of ​​breaking the formation by force.

The Cuihong Sect was only a sect that occupied a small area. Even though the Cuihong Sect now occupied its own area and the Shifang Valley, it was still an ordinary sect.

The large formations of ordinary sects can withstand the attacks of late Jindan cultivators. With Li Zhen's late third level of physical training, it is only a matter of time for him to break the formation by force.

Entering the familiar area, this place is already in the sphere of influence of Cuihong Sect. Of course, this was originally the sphere of influence of Shifang Valley. After Shifang Valley was destroyed, the interests therein could not be touched by others and were all swallowed up by Cuihong Sect.
