Chapter 345 Yan Canghai’s shock, leaving the city

Seeing Lu Qing so decisively kill Tonggan, the remaining killer couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. He

felt a little lucky that he had spoken in advance, otherwise, he would have been the one to die.

At the same time, he was also extremely afraid of Lu Qing.

This man looked young, but he was really cruel.

He killed several Xiantian realm masters in succession without even blinking an eyelid.

Why did he look even more cruel and ruthless than them?

No wonder he could turn the Holy City upside down.

“Okay, you can tell now.”

Lu Qing said lightly after killing another killer.

“I can only tell you one person, and you must promise that you will never say that it was me who said it.”

The last killer said.

“Okay.” Lu Qing nodded.

The killer began to tell Lu Qing the location using the sound transmission technique.

After hearing this, Lu Qing raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure you’re not lying?”

“How could I possibly lie to you, young master, about something we’ll know about once we investigate?” the assassin said with a wry smile. “But young master, even if you knew the entrance to the secret realm, it would be useless.

The formations within the secret realm are controlled by Xuankong Mountain, and only they can unlock it.

Even we have to wait until the appointed time and receive their permission before we can enter or exit.”

“Don’t worry about that.”

Lu Qing’s spiritual senses were constantly monitoring the assassin’s moods.

Knowing he was most likely telling the truth, he turned and left.

“Master Wei, I’ll leave this man in your care.”

“Okay!” Wei Xinghe understood and approached the assassin.

The assassin, horrified, cried out, “You lied to me! You said you’d let me go!”

However, Wei Xinghe didn’t give him a chance to argue. With a wave of his hand, a blast of blade blasted out, instantly slaying the assassin.

Lu Qing didn’t even turn his head.

When he had extracted information from these people, he hadn’t intended to truly spare their lives.

The information showed that these people had already slaughtered many people before coming to Cang County.

Each of these Wujianlou killers was a scum with no bottom line.

Letting even one of them go would be a true sin.

“Ah Qing, what are you going to do next?”

The old doctor didn’t comment on Lu Qing’s behavior.

Although he himself disliked killing, he didn’t think that what Lu Qing did was wrong.

“There’s nothing we can do, Master. The depth of Xuankong Mountain is not comparable to ours.

I asked about the location of their secret realm just to prevent trouble before it happens.

I didn’t think of causing trouble for them now.”

Lu Qing shook his head.

“That’s the best.”

The old doctor breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

He was really worried that Lu Qing would impulsively go and cause trouble for Xuankong Mountain.

“Master, have you finished your free clinic?”

“There are still a few villages left. I came into the city this time because I ran out of medicine and wanted to ask the Wei family master for some, but I didn’t expect to run into these killers.”

“Did you gain anything from

this free clinic?” Lu Qing knew that Master’s outing was not just for free clinics.

More importantly, he wanted to understand the impact of the changes in heaven and earth on ordinary people.

“Indeed,” the old doctor’s face turned a little serious. “But I’ll tell you more about all this after I finish visiting the remaining villages.”

“Okay, I’ve also set up the formations in the villages over the past two days and opened up the spiritual fields.

When you return, Master, we should be able to start cultivating better medicinal herbs.”

“That’s great!” The old doctor’s face was delighted.

After the master and disciple exchanged pleasantries for a while, Lu Qing turned around.

He said to Wei Xinghe, “Master Wei, since the assassins from Wujian Tower have already reached Cang County, the city is no longer safe.

Why don’t you and Madam Wei stay in the other courtyard for the time being so that you can look after each other?”

Wei Xinghe pondered, thinking of the assassin who had escaped earlier. He knew that the mansion was no longer safe.

He nodded and said, “Alright, thank you, Young Master Lu.”

Although Lu Qing’s words were polite, Wei Xinghe was very self-aware.

With his limited cultivation, he was not qualified to look after others.

To be frank, Lu Qing was just being polite because he was worried about their safety.

Wei Xinghe immediately ordered the people in the mansion to dispose of the bodies of the Wujian Tower assassins.

He also began to pack his things, preparing to leave for Jiuli Village with Lu Qing.

Just as the Wei Mansion began to bustle, the doorman suddenly ran in.

“Master, the City Lord requests an audience!”

“The City Lord is here?”

Wei Xinghe was startled, and subconsciously looked towards Lu Qing.

Lu Qing pondered for a moment, remembering the panic he had sensed along the way when he first entered the city.

He nodded and said, “Since the City Lord is visiting, why not meet him?”

Wei Xinghe said, “Please invite the City Lord in.”

The doorman ran out in a hurry, and soon, the city lord Yan Canghai came in from outside with several personal guards, led by the doorman.

As soon as he entered the hall, Yan Canghai saw Lu Qing sitting there, and his heart was suddenly shocked.

He didn’t receive any news when this person entered the city.

Could it be that the terrifying fighting aura before was related to this person?

“So Young Master Lu is also here. Greetings, Young Master Lu.”

Yan Canghai saluted Lu Qing respectfully.

The personal guards behind him were all extremely surprised.

They all looked at Lu Qing in surprise and doubt.

Some of them didn’t understand why their lord would show such courtesy to this young man.

“So it’s the city lord. I guess you are here because of the aura that erupted in the mansion earlier?”

Lu Qing nodded and gestured, then went straight to the point.

“That’s right.” Yan Canghai’s expression remained respectful. “I sensed earlier that a battle between Xiantian-level warriors was taking place at the Wei Mansion.

So I came to see what was going on.”

Lu Qing smiled, “It was just a few rogues who were invading. We’ve already dealt with them. The City Lord needn’t worry. You can also inform the people of the city that the crisis is over, so they don’t need to panic.”

Yan Canghai: …

Naturally, he didn’t believe Lu Qing’s words.

What kind of rogues could unleash the aura of the Xiantian Realm?

And so many of them at once? With such terrifying power, not only the Wei family, but even the provincial government might not be able to withstand it.

But he also knew that since Lu Qing said so, it was obvious that he didn’t want him to continue questioning.

He could only say respectfully, “I see. That would be a waste of my time.”

“Not really. Thank you, Lord City Lord, for your concern,” Wei Xinghe said politely.

Knowing that a battle at the Xiantian level was taking place, he was willing to come investigate.

Regardless of Yan Canghai’s motives, Wei Xinghe still had to express his gratitude.

“Lord City Lord, wait a moment. The Wei family head and I need to leave the city. Could you please order the city gates to be opened so we can exit?” Lu Qing asked.

“It’s so late, Young Master Lu, and you’re still leaving the city?”

Yan Canghai’s heart skipped a beat.

“Indeed, Lord City Lord should have guessed that those assassins were targeting the Wei family.

If my wife and I remain in the city, I’m afraid more assassins will attack.

So, for the sake of the people, we’d better leave for a while.”

Yan Canghai: …

He really wanted to ask what the Wei family had done to attract so many Xiantian realm experts to attack.

And judging by the tone, more powerful individuals might arrive in the future.

Could it be that the Wei family had provoked some formidable force?

Ultimately, Yan Canghai resisted the urge to ask.

He knew that hearing certain things could easily lead to infliction of irreconcilable consequences.

This was a lesson he had learned from past experience.

So, he simply nodded and said, “That’s easy. I’ll escort you out of the city myself later.”

“Then, Lord City Lord,”

the servants of the Wei Mansion were quick and efficient. In no time, they had packed up two carriages.

Lu Qing and the others rode in one, while the other, loaded with supplies, was escorted by a small team of Silver Moon Guards.

As for the old doctor, he hadn’t shown up yet.

He had to complete his free medical consultations in the last few villages tomorrow and would not be returning with Lu Qing and the others.

Yan Canghai, accompanied by several personal guards, arrived at the city gates.

With the Lord City Lord personally present, the guards responsible for guarding the gates naturally dared not refuse to open them.

Lu Qing and the others successfully exited the city, slowly heading towards Jiuli Village.

Standing at the city gate, watching the convoy fade into darkness, Yan Canghai’s expression was solemn.

Tonight’s events had given him a sense of impending danger.

How could the small Wei family attract so many Xiantian Realm assassins to attack them? What was the real reason?

More importantly, those Xiantian Realm assassins had only erupted for a little over ten breaths before being completely neutralized.

He hadn’t seen any signs of a fierce struggle in the Wei Mansion just now.

Were the invading Xiantian Realm assassins slain, or did they escape?

If so, then the strength of this young Master Lu was truly formidable.

Perhaps it was time to make the decision he had been making all along.

Lu Qing was unaware of Yan Canghai’s thoughts.

On the way back, he remained vigilant, fearing that the escaped Wujian Tower assassin might suddenly reappear and catch them off guard.

Fortunately, his fears proved to be unfounded.

Even after returning to Jiuli Village, Lu Qing still hadn’t found any trace of the last killer.

“Dad, Mom, why are you here?”

Upon arriving at the villa, Wei Zi’an ran out in surprise when he saw Wei Xinghe and his wife.

“Mom missed you, so I came to see you,”

Mrs. Wei said, not wanting her youngest son to worry.

However, Wei Zi’an was no longer the naive young man he once was.

Upon hearing his mother’s excuse, he immediately became confused: “Is that so? Even if you missed me, you didn’t have to rush over so late at night.

Besides, didn’t I just leave home a few days ago?”

How could he not know that his mother missed him so much?

And why did Dr. Lu Qing also get out of the car?

Hadn’t he always been at the small courtyard halfway up the mountain? He had even seen him this morning.

Mrs. Wei was speechless.

Wei Zi’an’s suspicions grew even stronger: “Mom, did something happen at home?”

Lu Qing watched on amusedly.

He said bluntly, “Zi’an, the truth is, tonight, assassins from Wujian Tower came to your Wei family, intending to capture Madam Wei and her family.”

“Wujian Tower assassins?!”

Wei Zi’an was shocked, remembering his encounter in the Holy City.

Wujian Tower assassins were no ordinary assassins; they were at least terrifying masters at the Xiantian Realm level.

How could such powerful beings actually attack his parents?

Ma Gu, standing behind him, was equally shocked upon hearing this news.

“Luckily, Master happened to be visiting your residence; otherwise, who knows what would have happened.”

“Indeed, thanks to Elder Chen’s intervention, your mother and I were spared,” Wei Xinghe added. “Young Master Lu was afraid those assassins would return, so he asked your mother and me to come to the villa to hide for a while.”

“Doctor Lu Qing, are the Wujian Tower assassins seeking to capture my parents because of what happened in the Holy City?” Wei Zi’an asked.

“I’m afraid so,” Lu Qing didn’t deny. “I’ve interrogated them, and those assassins were sent from Xuankong Mountain.”

“It’s really those old bald assholes!” Wei Zi’an grumbled. “Those old bald assholes are truly despicable and shameless, resorting to such despicable tactics!

Mother, don’t worry, the villa is perfectly safe.

As long as Young Doctor Lu Qing is here, those evildoers won’t dare come.

And I’ll protect you, too, and won’t let those evildoers lay a finger on your head!”

“Okay, then I’ll rely on you, An’er.”

Seeing her son’s courage, Madam Wei’s face lit up with relief.

Now that the others had been safely escorted there, Lu Qing naturally didn’t need to stay any longer.

After all, the villa was within the protection range of the formation he had set up.

Wei Xinghe and the others were completely safe here.

So he urged Madam Wei to avoid leaving the village as much as possible. After

checking in with Hu Laosan and Hu Zezhi, father and daughter, to see if they were accustomed to living there, he returned to the small courtyard halfway up the mountain.

Upon reaching the top of the mountain, he saw Wei Shanhai sitting in the courtyard.

“Young Master Lu, what happened? Are Xinghe and the others injured?”

Wei Shanhai asked hurriedly when he saw Lu Qing returning.

“Master Wei and the others are fine and have not been injured. I have already brought them back to the village.

Senior, you can go back to the villa and ask them about the details of what happened.” Lu Qing said.

“You escorted them back, that’s great.”

Wei Shanhai was delighted to hear this.

In his heart, Jiuli Village is much safer than the county town now.

Especially after seeing the scene of Lu Qing setting up the formation and feeling the increasingly rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the village,

he realized that if this situation continues, this place will gradually evolve into an unimaginable place of blessing and spirituality.

Wei Xinghe and the others can come here, not only their safety is guaranteed.

Their future path of cultivation will also be smoother.
