As soon as you enter Liang Jingcheng, a prosperous scene comes to your face.

The wide streets are bustling with traffic and crowds, and the noise is endless. Exquisite pavilions and pavilions stand on both sides of the street. Teahouses, restaurants, Qin Tower and Chu Pavilion are full of people, making it very lively.

"Your words are right, she really ran away." Shen Bi stood at the gate of the city and did not go far.

"Hehe, with the master's methods, she will come back sooner or later." Erha's joking voice came from the shadows.

'Have you been seen through?' Shen Bi couldn't help but glance at the shadow at his feet. He couldn't hide this devil with his own tricks.

Shen Bi raised his head and looked at the wall on the side of the city gate again. It was densely covered with wanted portraits, and there were many people around him who were pointing and pointing.

"I really didn't expect that the third generation of the Duke and the fourth generation of the Situ family would dare to collude with evil spirits and use witchcraft to curse the emperor."

"Yes, thanks to the Imperial Preceptor's discernment, the crimes of such treacherous people were exposed to the world."

"I heard that the eldest lady of the Situ family has not been caught yet?"

"It is said that he was traveling and escaped by chance."

"Wherever a weak woman can hide, she will be brought to justice sooner or later."

"What a pity. I heard that Situ Mingyue is extremely beautiful. If..."

"Hush! You don't want your life, you dare to make plans for a designated criminal!"

......

Situ Mingyue?

Shen Bi thought of the woman who disguised herself as a man and traveled around the world. When they parted ways in Mingyang Mountain, the other party had invited him to Liang Jing. He did not expect such a big change to happen to the Situ family.

Just like when the Shen family was wiped out, Shen Bi smelled a conspiracy when something happened to the Situ family this time.

Back when we were at the tea stall, someone from the Three Pure Alliance attacked Situ Mingyue and wanted to use her to threaten the great Situ.

Based on the relationship between the middle-aged Confucian scholar and Di Qing, the leader of the Sanqing League at that time, the attack by the Sanqing League was probably instigated by the middle-aged Confucian scholar, which means that the mastermind behind it was probably the leader of the Wu Gu sect.

In this way, even if the imperial master who wielded the sword in Liang Jing against the Great Situ this time was not a member of the Witch Gu Sect, he must be inextricably linked to it.

As his thoughts flashed, Shen Bi made a decision. He planned to visit the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion to see if he could follow the clues and catch the big fish of the leader of the Witch Gu Sect.

Moreover, the Daliang Imperial Preceptor should be closely related to the massacre of the Shen family.

According to Xiaohuan, the Shen family was dismissed from office and returned to their hometown because they offended important figures in Liang Jing. Later, they suffered a disaster. As one of the pinnacle figures in Liang Jing's power, the national master must have played a key role in it.

……

At the beginning of the lanterns, the study room of the Imperial Prefect's Mansion.

This is a small study room, about ten feet square.

Apart from a set of tables and chairs, there are no extra furnishings in the study, and the four treasures of the study are simply placed on the table.

Pens, tables and chairs are all very common items and can be purchased at roadside shops.

An old man who looked like an old farmer was taking off the brush from the elm pen holder and preparing to review the documents at hand. The sudden appearance of a figure next to him made him put the brush back again.

"Have you found that thing?"

The old man looked at the figure and suddenly asked.

"Hey, this big Situ is really good at hiding things, I... my subordinates have dug three feet into the Situ's house these days, and not even a hair has been found."

"Old... I suspect that the thing might be on that little girl from the Situ family, right?"

Although the visitor knelt on the ground in a very polite manner and called himself a subordinate, his tone was not at all polite.

"Why, you, Lu Xu, a great martial arts master, haven't even found a little girl after so long."

The old man was actually a little dissatisfied. He hadn't found anything for so long, and it was hard for him to explain to others.

Boom!

A surge of momentum erupted from Lu Xu, and the wind pressure caused the old man's hair and beard to fly wildly.

"Master Imperial Master, it's better to be polite. I'm just ordered to protect your safety. As for finding that thing, it's just a private job. If it weren't for the fact that the reward is pretty good, I wouldn't have time to serve you."
p>

The old man known as the National Preceptor was not frightened by the momentum, and still said slightly dissatisfied:

"Take people's money and eliminate disasters with them. Since you have received the reward, you should do your job well."

"Hey! I..."

Lu Xu was about to retort when he suddenly realized that something was wrong with the feedback coming back from one direction after he had just exploded with momentum.

"Who!"

He immediately stood up and looked over there. The Imperial Master was no longer as calm as before and was so shocked that he jumped up from his armchair.

Boom! With a sudden kick on the ground, Lu Xu's body shot towards that place like lightning, surrounded by a strong energy that blew his hair and beard out, as if Zhong Kui had come to this world.

Click! A pillar on one side of the corridor was smashed by his punch, but there was no trace of the enemy in front of him.

What a speed! The opponent was stronger than he thought. Lu Xu did not dare to be careless, so he took back all the spreading Gang Qi and protected himself tightly.

"Can you tell me what you are looking for?"

The person who came was none other than Shen Bi. Unexpectedly, a small verbal conflict between the Imperial Master and Lu Xu accidentally revealed his presence. Since he couldn't hear what was said behind him, he could only ask himself.

"Who are you?" Lu Xu looked solemn. Such a young grandmaster was unheard of. Could it be some old guy who was disguised?

"Shouldn't you answer my question first?" Shen Bi also looked at the grandmaster in front of him with interest. The grandmaster level is already the pinnacle of martial arts in this world.

"I asked first!" Lu Xu insisted.

Shen Bi was speechless, and the good atmosphere of pretending was ruined by this upright man.

"In that case, let's use our fists to speak."

“Just what I wanted!”

Dang!

The Qiu Shui Sword struck a pair of double iron hooks! Sparks flew everywhere!

The two people who agreed to speak with their fists took out their own weapons from their bodies, and both sides saw the true expression on the other's face.

Shen Bi was also a little more cautious. A straight man is not to be feared. This kind of old man who is experienced in fighting enemies can kill people.

With a flick of the long sword in his hand, Wu Nian's sword energy slashed out one after another. The sword energy struck at various strange angles, blocking all Lu Xu's dodge angles.

Lu Xu activated his innate Qi to protect his whole body, and his pair of iron and steel hooks danced airtight to face the oncoming sword Qi.

Ding-ding-ding-ding! The innate Gang Qi and the Sword Qi keep colliding and annihilating.

"No, you are not a master! These sword energies are not innate energy at all!"

After entering the master realm for more than ten years, Lu Xu knew too much about the innate Qi, and he felt something was wrong as soon as he got hold of it.

At the same time, he was also shocked.

You must know that although they have transcended the innate, cultivated the innate Qi, called themselves masters, and have reached the pinnacle of the world, this also means that their way forward has been cut off.

Over the years, Lu Xu has been diligently pursuing how to continue his martial arts path. This time he helped the national master because there was something in the reward that he could learn something about.
