He confessed his love for his master in his later years, and his cheat ability finally arrived.

Liu Tong acted extremely quickly.

We just finalized the arrangements here.

into the night.

He then led the elite disciples of the Enforcement Hall and rushed into Lu Changsheng's courtyard like wolves and tigers.

At this moment, the torch in his hand illuminated the night as if it were daytime.

Logically speaking, all of these cultivators should have the ability to see things in their dreams at night.

Therefore, holding a torch at this time has a far greater deterrent effect than practical effect.

At this moment, Liu Tong stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, a fake smile of "righteous indignation" always on his face.

His gaze swept around like that of a hawk.

Before Lu Changsheng could even show his face, he had already impatiently issued the order.

"Search! Dig three feet into the ground, find that 'Soul-Capturing Banner' for me!"

At Liu Tong's command, the disciples behind him immediately scattered.

They kicked open doors and windows one by one, ransacked the place, and even used longswords to trace every inch of the ground, afraid of missing any clues.

Because Lu Changsheng did not have the habit of going to bed early.

In addition, this group of people came from afar carrying torches.

It would be difficult for him not to discover it.

The problem is, he has no idea what these bastards are looking for.

Could it be that they secretly hid something in this yard?

That shouldn't be happening!

They hid it themselves, and it's still so hard to find it?

Lu Changsheng couldn't figure it out for a moment.

So he simply stood aside and watched the farce with a nonchalant expression.

Finally, he even found a stone bench to sit on, poured himself a cup of tea, and slowly sipped it.

He seemed completely oblivious to the commotion before him.

After searching for a long time, I still couldn't find it.

Liu Tong couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Useless! Wouldn't he keep that kind of thing in his storage bag? Do you think you can even find it by searching like this?"

Li Yao shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Senior Brother Liu, you don't understand. This Soul-Capturing Banner is different from other things. It can't be put in a storage bag. Once it gets tainted by evil energy, won't all the other items be destroyed?"

This was the first time Liu Tong had heard of this claim.

He frowned and said:

"Since that's the case, why don't you lead a search party yourself? If you find nothing today, you can go back and explain to the elders yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yao naturally dared not be negligent.

He immediately led a search operation himself.

He searched Lu Changsheng's bed thoroughly, kicked away all the furniture, and even pried off some floor tiles, but found nothing.

Undeterred, Li Yao led his men to search the entire courtyard a second and third time, but still found nothing.

Half an hour later.

All the disciples returned dejectedly.

They reported to Liu Tong: "Senior Brother Liu, we found nothing...we didn't find anything."

Upon hearing this, Liu Tong's face instantly turned ashen.

He turned and stared intently at Lu Changsheng, gritting his teeth as he asked, "Lu Changsheng! Where did you hide the Soul-Suppressing Banner?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng feigned surprise, put down his teacup, and then spread his hands innocently.

"Senior Brother Liu, what are you saying?"

"I have no idea what a 'soul-capturing banner' is."

"With so many of you, you've practically turned my house upside down. If that thing really existed, wouldn't you have found it?"

"There are too many of you today, so I won't argue with you. But I'll definitely ask your elders in the Enforcement Hall later if they still have any sense of rules!"

"You old fool, you can't hide anything from me!"

Li Yao roared hysterically at this moment.

"That thing was clearly something you made Bai Xue, that little bitch, buy from Jiang Mingzi!"

Lu Changsheng was slightly surprised upon hearing this.

The people in the Enforcement Hall really have some tricks up their sleeves.

They had been watching him without him even realizing it.

However, Lu Changsheng did not take this seriously at the time.

He couldn't help but laugh out loud, saying, "Li Yao, have you lost your mind?"

"Junior Sister Bai Xue was giving me array flags, which are proper array-setting tools, not some kind of demonic magic weapon."

"Besides, how did Senior Brother Li know what Bai Xue gave me? You must be dreaming!"

"you!"

Li Yao was so angry at these words that he trembled all over, but he was unable to refute them.

Liu Tong knew he couldn't win an argument with the old man.

Continuing to argue will only make things more complicated.

Therefore, he took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said coldly.

"Junior Brother Lu, although the item was not found, your suspicion has not been cleared."

"For the safety of our sect, we must take you back to the Enforcement Hall for a thorough interrogation!"

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

He slowly stood up, dusted himself off, and smiled.

"Interrogate me? Senior Brother Liu, you can't find anything, so you're trying to forcibly take me away? That's probably against the rules, isn't it?"

"Rules?" Liu Tong sneered.

"The Enforcement Hall has the right to take all necessary measures to deal with a potential spy for the demonic path like you! Take him away!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and several burly disciples immediately stepped forward, making a move to lift Lu Changsheng up.

Lu Changsheng sneered.

Do you think I'm afraid of that?

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and with a flick of his sleeve, an invisible force repelled the disciples. He then coldly declared, "Let's see who dares to touch me!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Tong's eyes revealed a murderous intent.

"Lu Changsheng, are you disobeying orders?"

"Disobeying orders?"

Lu Changsheng chuckled.

"You're arresting people without any evidence; this is clearly settling a personal score!"

"I, Lu Changsheng, have acted with integrity and uprightness. I may go to the Hall of Law Enforcement if I wish, but not now, and not on such a fabricated charge!"

As soon as these words were spoken, tensions immediately rose between the two sides, and the atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point.

Liu Tong knew that continuing this stalemate would be of no benefit to him.

Then, his eyes lit up, and he made up his mind again.

He sneered, "Fine! Since you're unwilling to go to the Enforcement Hall, then we'll find another place."

"I, Liu, would like to invite my junior brother to the Dragon Prison Pool for a chat. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, we can still be fellow disciples. Why be so tense?"

"But if Junior Brother isn't even willing to agree to this request, then we'll have to talk to Junior Sister Bai Xue!"

Lu Changsheng's heart stirred.

That bastard is despicable, actually using Bai Xue to threaten me.

He had naturally heard of the Dragon Prison Pool; it was an abandoned forbidden area of ​​the sect, located in a remote and sparsely populated area.

It is said that a ferocious beast is sealed at the bottom of the pool, and even the disciples dare not approach it on ordinary days.

Where to go?

Lu Changsheng instantly understood Liu Tong's plan.

The Dragon Prison Pool is a desolate and deserted place. If he is taken there, even if some "accident" happens, no one will know who did it.

Liu Tong intends to take him to the wilderness and then kill him to silence him!

Now they're too lazy to even bother to hide it anymore.

Having figured this out, Lu Changsheng felt much more at ease.

A playful smile curled at the corner of his lips as he looked at Liu Tong and said, "The Dragon Prison Pool? Very well, I was just thinking of going there. Senior Brother Liu is so 'considerate,' wouldn't it be too ungrateful of me, Lu Changsheng, not to go?"

"You agree?"

Liu Tong was somewhat surprised. He had thought that Lu Changsheng would make all sorts of excuses, but he didn't expect him to agree so readily.

Could this old guy be up to something?

But no matter how you look at it, this old man is only at the Foundation Establishment stage!

What is so special about a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator?

"Of course," Lu Changsheng said with a smile. "What? Shouldn't I agree? Or is there something fishy about this trip?"

As Lu Changsheng spoke, his gaze swept over Liu Tong and Li Yao, a flash of cold light passing through his eyes.

Liu Tong felt a chill run down his spine, but then sneered, "As long as you cooperate obediently, nothing will happen."

"That's good." Lu Changsheng nodded. "Lead the way."

The group escorted Lu Changsheng towards the direction of the Imprisoned Dragon Pool.

Throughout the journey, Lu Changsheng appeared extremely relaxed, even humming a little tune, as if he were going on a sightseeing trip.

Liu Tong and Li Yao exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.

Has this old man gone mad?

The night was deep, and strange rocks surrounded the Imprisoned Dragon Pool.

This place feels eerie even during the day, let alone now.

Looking around, the pool water was as black as ink, and it constantly emitted a nauseating, fishy stench.

All around was quiet, with only the rustling of the wind through the trees. At such times, this thing only made the surroundings seem more eerie and terrifying.

"arrive."

Liu Tong stopped, turned around, and looked at Lu Changsheng with a half-smile.

"Junior Brother Lu, don't you want to say something?"

Lu Changsheng didn't answer. He first looked around and then slowly nodded.

He then laughed and said, "Indeed, this place is very suitable for murder and silencing witnesses. Senior Brother Liu, you've chosen a very good spot."

"You already knew?" Liu Tong's pupils contracted.

"certainly."

Lu Changsheng smiled.

"Do you think I can't see through your little schemes?"

"However, I'm quite curious, how do you plan to kill me? Will you drown me in the waters of this Dragon-Prison Pool, or will you simply throw me into the pool to feed that ferocious beast whose fate is unknown?"

"Hmph! Still being stubborn even when death is imminent!"

"I'll ask you one more time: do you have the Taiyin Dew Fruit? If you do, hand it over and I'll guarantee your safety. Otherwise, you're doomed today."

Lu Changsheng remained silent.

He simply raised his right hand and gave Liu Tong the middle finger.

Liu Tong didn't know what this meant.

But you can guess a thing or two from Lu Changsheng's expression.

"You bastard, you're asking for it! Attack!"

At his command, the elite disciples of the Enforcement Hall, who had been lying in ambush all around, instantly appeared and surrounded Lu Changsheng.

These men were all Liu Tong's confidants, and they all exuded murderous intent. Clearly, they were not there to arrest people, but to kill them.

Li Yao drew his longsword, pointed it at Lu Changsheng's nose, and sneered, "Lu Changsheng, today is your death day! In your next life, be more careful and don't offend the wrong people again!"

Lu Changsheng looked at the crowd that had completely surrounded him, but his face still wore that calm and collected smile, as if these murderous enemies in front of him were just a flock of lambs to the slaughter.

"Liu Tong, Li Yao," he spoke slowly, his voice eerily calm, "Are you sure you want to make your move here?"
