Immortal Cultivating Dynasty

After saying that, he looked around and saw that there was no one around. Then, he walked up to Zhu Quan and whispered a few words to him.    

    

"What? I can't believe it happened!"    

    

After he finished speaking, Zhu Quan suddenly stood up. His face was filled with anger. "Are these guys really not putting me, City Lord, in their eyes?"    

    

"Sir, please calm down. Those people's actions are more secretive and did not leave behind any evidence, so..."    

    

"So you did not care about it before?" Zhu Quan snorted coldly. His expression was somewhat unfriendly. "I admit that I'm not a good person, but the Zhao family has fallen to such a state. It was all because General Zhao had sacrificed his life for the country. The family of such a person... It's fine if he doesn't want to help, but what kind of cruel and heartless person would do such a thing? "    

    

"Sir is right. Although I also hate this method to the bone, but..."    

    

Lu Qianhai hesitated for a moment, then looked around before whispering, "There seems to be a shadow of the Prime Minister inside."    

    

"The Prime Minister?"    

    

Zhu Quan's pupils shrank. He instinctively looked around and then said in a deep voice, "Shut up. Do you know what you are talking about? This will get you killed! "    

    

Although he was also considered a City Lord, he was still far from the center of power in Chiang Country. Compared to those existences who were below him, he was just an ant.    

    

Lu Qianhai nodded solemnly and whispered, "Sir, I only heard someone vaguely mention one thing. That person found me directly and said a few words to me vaguely, asking me to help them."    

    

“ Oh? If they really had such a background, why would they... That's right!"    

    

Zhu Quan suddenly thought of something and immediately understood everything.    

    

"It's said that the reason General Zhao was able to rise to power in the past was due to the recommendation of an Immortal Master."    

    

"Sir is right." Lu Qianhai nodded.    

    

"As far as I know, a few years ago, the Zhao family did indeed have an Immortal Master. He seemed to have come from another country and did not stay for long. However, it made the status of the Zhao family rise. It was precisely because of this that... Although some people in the court wanted to touch the Zhao family, they didn't dare to do it openly. They were afraid that they would get their revenge later on."    

    

"Tsk tsk, I never thought that there would be such muddy water in my tiny Allpine City."    

    

Zhu Quan shook his head and sighed. His eyes flickered with an indescribable brilliance. After glancing at Lu Qianhai beside him, he stood up and tidied his clothes.    

    

"Let's go to the Zhao family. I want to get involved in this muddy water."    

    

"Master, this..."    

    

"Don't worry. Of course, I won't make a losing deal. Didn't you say that the Immortal Master is also in the Zhao family? "    

    

...    

    

Currently, Zhao family's mansion was located in a remote corner of Allpine City. The carriages and horses of the City Lord's Mansion kept turning and turning, and it took them a while to stop in front of Zhao family's gate.    

    

Dozens of soldiers were lined up on both sides. Some of them were about to rush in and line up, but were stopped by Zhu Quan.    

    

He walked out from a luxurious carriage and said coldly, "Wait a minute. I will go in alone. None of you should follow me. Do you hear me?"    

    

No one dared to disobey his words. After the soldiers made way, he went to the front of the door. He pulled up the copper ring and gave it a few kowtows.    

    

After a while, no one responded.    

    

"Master, the servants of Zhao family have left. So..."    

    

"En."    

    

Zhu Quan nodded and knocked twice on the door again. The force here was a little stronger.    

    

As expected, after the sound was louder, the people inside heard it. Not long after, a crack appeared on the door and a small head that was carved with jade came out from it.    

    

"Who... are you?"    

    

Zhao Yu'er looked at the large group of people at the door and asked with some fear in her eyes.    

    

Zhu Quan was stunned. He did not expect that it was such a cute little girl. City Lord, who had just picked up the chair, suddenly disappeared. He said with a gentle face, "Um... I am City Lord. Can you let me in?"    

    

"Ah, City Lord!"    

    

Zhao Yu'er was shocked. She quickly closed the door, and then there was another series of footsteps. Obviously, she had run away.    

    

Zhu Quan and Lu Qianhai looked at each other with embarrassment on their faces.    

    

If it was in another house, City Lord would have entered the house directly without even needing to report it. But now, he had been rejected by the door.    

    

However, when they recalled that the Immortal Master was in the mansion, the two of them didn't say anything. Instead, they waited quietly.    

    

Sure enough, the door opened after a short while. This time, it was Zhao Wuming who opened the door.    

    

Zhao Wuming's heart skipped a beat when he saw so many soldiers here. He hurriedly bowed and said, "I hope City Lord can atone for his crimes. This younger sister is not sensible and has neglected the adults. Please come in, sir."    

    

As he spoke, he stepped aside. The etiquette was just right, it was impeccable.    

    

Zhu Quan looked at him with appreciation and nodded. He walked in alone. The rest, including Lu Qianhai, the personal advisor, were all waiting at the door.    

    

"You must be General Zhao's son!"    

    

He asked casually and looked around aimlessly in the dilapidated mansion.    

    

Zhao Wuming nodded. "That's right, Zhao Wuming. Greetings, City Lord."    

    

"Alright, there's no need for formalities." Zhu Quan waved his hand. His eyes swept across the few houses here. "Is Master Immortal Master in this prefecture?"    

    

"This..."    

    

Zhao Wuming hesitated for a moment before saying, "Yes, Lord Immortal Master is cultivating."    

    

"Is that so? Alright then, I won't disturb the Immortal Master anymore."    

    

Zhu Quan said with a smile. He stared at Zhao Wuming for a while, then continued, "I came here because I have something to ask you."    

    

"Sir, please come in. I will try my best to answer."    

    

Zhao Wuming walked in front and led Zhu Quan to a hall.    

    

It was empty. Other than a few tables and chairs, there was nothing else. There was not even a cup of tea for guests.    

    

The roof was made of wood. The paint on it had dropped quite a bit. There was even a faint smell of decay. Fortunately, the floor and tables were relatively clean. Otherwise, it would really make people think that this was an abandoned place.    

    

Zhu Quan frowned and stood in the middle of the hall, sizing up the room.    

    

Zhao Wuming smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, saying, "My family is poor, please forgive me."    

    

"This is the Zhao family? How long has it been? How did it become like this?"    

    

There was some doubt in Zhu Quan's eyes. General Zhao had just died not long ago. No matter how fast he fell, he shouldn't have become like this.    

    

"Sir, the expenses at home are huge, so the original mansion..."    

    

Before Zhao Wuming could finish his sentence, a loud sound was heard from not far away. It was very sudden and startled the two people in the hall.    

    

After that, another scorching wind swept in from the door, making the door frame creak.    

    

"What happened?"
