C128 The City Lord's Fear
The thumb-sized Soul Absorption Bead seemed to have grown a little stronger at this moment. The surrounding Spiritual Force cyclones had also become much bigger, faintly filling the entire Dantian.
Other than that, the appearance of this Soul Absorption Bead did not change much.
"Could it be that the Spirit Aura is only helping the Soul Absorption Bead grow?"
Yang Xuan was suspicious. There wasn't much change in the outer appearance, but the speed at which it absorbed and transformed the Spirit Aura seemed to be a little faster, and the Spirit Aura had become even purer.
This was undoubtedly a great thing for him. After all, the faster the Spirit Aura absorbed, the faster his cultivation base would grow. Furthermore, the Soul Absorption Bead circulated day and night without any distinction between day and night.
However, although he knew the divinity of this Soul Absorption Bead, he couldn't truly understand it.
After some consideration, he put the Soul Absorption Bead aside.
Other than the fact that some of the Spiritual Force within his body had been absorbed by the Soul Absorption Bead during his breakthrough, this thing was usually relatively quiet. There was no unusual activity and there was no need to be overly worried.
Moreover, at this moment, his mind was completely focused on the Flame Separation Spell in his mind.
Although this name was ordinary, Yang Xuan did not have the slightest intention of underestimating it. He only roughly looked at it a few times and felt that it was incomparably profound.
Currently, he could only understand the meaning expressed by these symbols in his mind, but he couldn't understand the meaning behind them. He was afraid that it would take a lot of time for him to cultivate.
Fortunately, he had already greeted Zhao Wuming, so he did not lack time at this moment.
As he thought in his heart, he immersed his mind into those strange symbols in his mind.
At the same time, in the City Lord's Mansion of Allpine City.
Zhu Quan looked at the soldiers kneeling and trembling, his eyes cold and stern.
"Speak. Apart from that guy, who else provoked the Immortal Master? No, tell me everything from the beginning to the end. Tell me bit by bit."
"City Lord, I... We..."
"That's enough, he said. There's no need to explain. Just tell me what happened, and I'll make my own judgment."
Zhu Quan's eyes flashed with a cold light, making people's hearts tighten.
These few people were the soldiers guarding the gate when he arrived. As soon as Yang Xuan left, they were brought to the City Lord's Mansion.
Along with them was the corpse of the soldier.
Their eyes were filled with fear. They naturally understood Zhu Quan's intention. He wanted to make sure that everyone who had offended the Immortal Master was clean, so as to avoid future trouble.
If it wasn't for the constant war in Chiang Country and the lack of manpower, the few of them would have already become corpses.
Under Zhu Quan's interrogation, one of them suppressed the fear in his heart and told the whole story without missing a single word.
Zhu Quan sat on the top and listened quietly. The more he listened, the gloomier his face became.
"Great, you guys are really bold!"
Just as the soldier was about to finish speaking, Zhu Quan immediately stood up and shouted angrily.
"How dare you treat Immortal Master like this? You are bringing disaster upon me. Today, no one will be able to protect you!"
As he spoke, he pulled out the sword at his waist and walked down.
"City... City Lord... we are only acting according to the rules. We... did not disrespect that Immortal Master!"
"That's right. We were really wronged. It was all because of him. It was that fellow who stopped the Immortal Master. It was also him who attacked the Immortal Master."
"That's right, that's right. It's all him. City Lord, spare us!"
These soldiers panicked. Each of them pointed at the corpses on the side and kept pleading.
Zhu Quan put his sword on one of the men's neck. The man's voice was even louder. He kept explaining with fear on his face.
"City Lord, please show mercy."
Right at this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
It was a man who looked to be in his early thirties. He looked gentle and gentle, with a small tuft of beard on his chin. He was wearing a grey robe and was walking in unhurriedly.
This man was the advisor of City Lord's Mansion. His name was Lu Qianhai. He could be considered Zhu Quan's left and right arms.
When he heard him come, the long sword in Zhu Quan's hand also stopped there. He did not make a move.
Lu Qianhai took two big steps forward. He first bowed and said.
"Sir, actually, there is no need to kill these guys."
"Why? If that Immortal Master still has a grudge against us, we'll kill them when the time comes..."
"Sir, if that Immortal Master really wants them to die, then how could they possibly live until now? The only dead person was personally killed by Sir. That person had provoked the Immortal Master in such a manner. The Immortal Master didn't even kill him, which means that the Immortal Master doesn't have any killing intent in its heart. "
"As you can see?"
"The city is currently lacking in military strength. If they are easily killed without any reason, I'm afraid it will attract gossip. From what I can see, as long as they are locked up for a period of time and no longer appear in front of the Immortal Master, this matter will naturally be resolved. "
"This..."
Zhu Quan hesitated for a moment, and his eyes sparkled.
The impact of this matter was too great. It was not a child's play. He wanted to get rid of the root of the problem, but the situation was tense.
"Forget it. Men, suppress all of them and throw them into jail. When will the Immortal Master leave? When will they be released?"
Zhu Quan gave the order. A group of soldiers rushed into the hall and dragged them away.
"Thank you for not killing them, my lord!"
Although they were locked up in jail, these soldiers all had wild joy on their faces. After all, City Lord's killing intent just now was not fake.
A group of people, along with the corpse on the ground, were dragged out. The hall immediately became quiet.
Zhu Quan was like a deflated balloon. His eyelids drooped down. He casually threw the sword to the side and walked back to his seat.
"City Lord, that Immortal Master is currently at the Zhao family's home."
As a strategist, Lu Qianhai naturally understood Zhu Quan's mood. He spoke softly.
"Zhao family, is that General Zhao's Zhao family?"
Zhu Quan's eyes were somewhat depressed. This matter involved too much. He had already sent someone to the capital to report to His Majesty, but with the degree of chaos in Chiang Country, he was afraid that it would take some time before he could recover.
Before this, this Immortal Master was simply a hot potato that could drag him into the water at any time.
"That's right. It's precisely that Zhao family. It's just that because General Zhao died in battle, it has pretty much declined."
"Decline? Didn't I arrange for the people below to take care of them?"
Zhu Quan frowned slightly. General Zhao could be considered a slightly famous person. He had met General Zhao a long time ago. He had taken care of the family members of such a dead general and greeted many of his subordinates.
Lu Qianhai sighed and said, "Master, although we took care of them a little, there are people who want them to die. General Zhao had many opponents back then, although I don't know who they are. However, I know that those people must be high-ranking officials in the court. "
