The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Chapter 229 The Red Cloud Fairy's resentment, another disappearance incident, if you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place?
After all, Fairy Chiyun had personally said that if he could change his mind today, not only would the two benefits mentioned earlier be fulfilled for him.

And I can grant him one request!
Fairy Chiyun asked herself, she rarely made promises to anyone.

Given her status and abilities, a promise should be somewhat attractive.

But now that there's nothing behind him, doesn't that mean Chen Beixuan is still... unmoved?

If it weren't for her status as the sect leader of the Crimson Cloud Sect, she would have wanted to go back and ask why.

A sudden surge of resentment arose in her heart, and Fairy Crimson Cloud's face turned cold as she casually waved her hand...

Boom!

Under the sky, a once lush and leafy tree was snapped in half with a loud crash!

He displayed the formidable strength of a Grandmaster at the seventh level!
After being rebuffed by the black-robed grandmaster, and venting some of her pent-up resentment, Fairy Crimson Cloud finally felt a little better.

With a light clap of her hands, Fairy Crimson Clouds stopped lingering, transforming into a crimson rainbow and heading towards the sect's mountain range.

In the dense forest, trees were collapsing one after another.

The moment the Illusionary Yin-Yang Finger was unleashed, even though it was only at the beginner level, it still surpassed the power that the Three Heavenly Swords could unleash!

One point... and everything vanishes!
Because of his foundation in the Split Mountain Finger technique, Lu Ye has a relatively deep understanding of finger techniques.

After practicing it once, my proficiency increased significantly.

Looking at the scene in the forest that seemed to have witnessed some fierce battle, Lu Ye shook his head slightly, withdrew his hand, and headed towards Yunye City.

Time flew by quickly.

To Lu Ye's surprise, three days later, the same incident of people mysteriously disappearing from Yunye City occurred again...

It happened again.

This time, it was still a few Qi Condensation Realm martial artists living in the city who suddenly disappeared, as if they had vanished into thin air.

City Lord's Mansion.

Upon receiving this message again, Wang Xingluo was on the verge of exploding with rage.

This clearly shows they don't take him, the city lord, seriously.

Inside the city lord's mansion, a sense of oppression was spreading due to the pressure from Wang Xingluo.

Immediately afterwards, the City Lord's Mansion issued several announcements, offering a reward of 100,000 taels of silver for anyone who could discover evil cultivators!

Anyone who can provide useful information or clues will also be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver!

This reward is not low, even for ordinary people or martial artists at the Acquired Realm.

Unfortunately, despite the announcement being posted, no one came forward with any useful clues, indicating that the group had not left many traces in the city.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Xinglu extended invitations to several major acquired families and two innate families in the city, including Tian Qing, who had already left the Tian family.

In the hall, Wang Xingluo looked at the people who were arriving one after another, a hint of guilt on his face.

"Gentlemen, the series of egregious incidents in the city have had a significant impact, and it is my fault, Wang Xingluo, who has failed in his duty."

Wang Xingluo stood up and bowed deeply to everyone.

Upon seeing this, Tian Xiong, the new patriarch of the Tian family who had already reached the second level of the Innate Realm, chuckled.

"Lord of the city need not blame himself. These evil people are very cunning. They always strike when the defenses are weakest, making them impossible to guard against." Seeing that even the Tian family, one of the two great innate families, said this, the heads of the Yu family and other acquired families in the east of the city quickly echoed it.

"Yes, Lord Wang, your contributions to Yunye City are evident to all of us. You need not blame yourself for this."

"As members of this city, we will do our best to investigate this matter! We will strive to bring these evil people to justice as soon as possible!"

Everyone expressed their indignation.

Only Jiang Lianshan, the head of the Jiang family, and Tian Qing, who had arrived, remained silent.

Jiang Lianshan knew his own family's situation, and on the surface, his Jiang family was still a Xiantian family.

In reality, they are only slightly better than the Yu family in the east of the city, a family that rose to prominence later in life.

Therefore, Jiang Lianshan intends to remain a complete outsider in these matters, neither expressing his opinion nor taking sides.

As for Tian Qing, he fell into a deep sleep as soon as he stepped into the city lord's mansion, seemingly in a state of foreboding in his later years. The total time he spent with his eyes open was less than a minute.

With a smile on his face, Wang Xingluo looked at Jiang Lianshan and said, "Patriarch Jiang, what do you think of this matter? I haven't seen Elder Jiang for a long time. Why don't you invite him over for a visit?"

Jiang Lianshan: "..."

If the Jiang family could still call out their ancestor, why would they have become increasingly conservative in recent years?
Having already prepared himself for this, Jiang Lianshan's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile, "Alas, the Ancestor is engrossed in seclusion and cultivation. Let alone asking him to come out for a walk, even I have difficulty seeing the Ancestor during this period."

"As for this matter, I have no objection. If any traces of heresy are discovered, I will certainly not stand idly by."

Having received a reply, Wang Xingluo shifted his gaze to the drowsy Tian Qing.

"Mr. Tian, ​​are you...didn't you sleep well last night?"

Upon hearing Wang Xingluo's words, Tian Qing seemed to snap out of her daze, opened her eyes, and said with a hint of shame, "I'm getting old and my health isn't good. I'm sorry to have troubled you, City Lord."

"Hehe, Elder Tian should really take better care of his health," Wang Xingluo said. "What are your thoughts on this matter, Elder Tian? Since we're all here today, it would be best to discuss and come up with a feasible solution."

Looking at Wang Xingluo, who was still worried about this matter, Old Tian shook his head and said, "I have no objection. Such... heretical practices are indeed despicable. It would be best to find out where they are hiding as soon as possible and capture them as soon as possible."

“Alright, since everyone has no objections,” Wang Xingluo said, making the final decision.

"Our city lord's mansion is doing everything in its power to hunt down evil cultivators. If any of you have any clues, please hand them over."

A moment later, everyone took their leave from the mansion.

Since Tian Qing left the Tian family, Jiang Lianshan seemed to have become quite close to the Jiang family recently. He even greeted them with a smile outside the mansion before heading towards the Jiang family.

Not far away, Tian Xiong watched this scene and sneered, "Some people have really lost their minds. The two sides were originally so at odds, yet someone still managed to establish a relationship with the other side."

Upon hearing this, Tian Qing turned around and looked at Tian Xiong, who had already advanced to the second level of the Innate Realm and was in the late stage of the second level of the Innate Realm. His advancement speed far exceeded that of ordinary Innate Realm cultivators.

A sigh flashed across his old face.

"Tian Xiong, if you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place..."

"Since you are the patriarch of the Tian family, you should be thinking about how to lead the Tian family to continue its lineage."

"Some things... cannot be done. Once you take a shortcut, there is no turning back."

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiong's expression changed slightly, his previous sneer replaced by a change in demeanor: "Tian Qing, what nonsense are you spouting?! I think you're getting senile!"

"What do you mean 'know' or 'don't know'! I respect you as a senior member of the Tian family, so don't push your luck!"
