What surprised Lu Zhong was that the leader was someone he had met before.
But it was Wei Tie who was enshrined in Qianjiang Wei Pavilion. His iron tower-like figure was impressive to people. His cultivation had also improved compared to before, and his aura was much stronger than before.
"It should be the fifth level of Qi Refining." Lu Zhong guessed in his heart.
When Wei Tie saw that it was Lu Zhong, although his expression did not change at all, Wei Tie felt surprised in his heart.
He didn't expect that the humble fish seller in the past could now live in a private courtyard.
You know, even as a captain of the law enforcement team, he had to grit his teeth and squeeze out a sum of spiritual stones to live in a small private courtyard.
"Captain, this is Talisman Master Lu Zhong. The Seven Mysterious Arrow Avoidance Talisman he made is somewhat famous in the city." A well-informed subordinate reminded him in a low voice next to him.
It seems that every law enforcement team has one person like this.
When the team leader is busy practicing and unable to get information in time, they are responsible for reminding others to order dishes.
"It turned out to be a talisman maker, no wonder..." Wei Tie thought of this, and a trace of sadness inevitably appeared in his heart.
If possible, he would also like to learn a craft, whether it be making talismans or refining weapons, as long as it is not a bloody job like now.
It's a pity that a large sum of spiritual stones was wasted, proving that he can only be a martial artist.
After coming back to his senses, Wei Tie had no intention of lowering his status. After glancing at Lu Zhong, he said to the people around him: "Ma Wu, go and question him."
A law enforcement team member with a pockmarked face nodded at this and began to question Lu Zhong.
"...That's what happened. By the way, I'll give you this token too." Lu Zhong finished the explanation, only saying that the other party had burglarized the house and was killed by him. At the same time, he didn't forget to give the token to you.
Give it to the other party.
Unexpectedly, when the team member named Ma Wu took the token and took a look, his expression suddenly changed.
Lu Zhong saw in his eyes that Xin Dao was just a token, so why should he act so exaggeratedly?
Wei Tie took the token and looked at it. He couldn't help but take a deep look at Lu Zhong. He handed it to his subordinate and said in a deep voice: "Check it carefully to make sure it's the wooden assassin of the Chihu Gang!"
The Chihu Gang is a famous casual cultivator group in the wilderness.
Xiaoju has hundreds of people, and is so powerful that even law enforcement teams have to shun it. However, they never engage in roadblocks and robberies. Instead, they become famous through the assassins they train. They are a specialized assassin organization.
The Chihu Gang differentiates the levels of assassins under their command. According to the three, six or nine levels of cultivation, wooden cards, iron cards, and gold medals are used as corresponding distinctions, so that they can collect money according to their levels.
The Wooden Assassin has the strength of the third level of Qi Refining.
After careful inspection, it was found that the wooden sign indeed belonged to the Chihu Gang, with highly identifiable marks on it.
Knowing the result, Wei Tie looked at Lu Zhong again, his eyes suddenly changed.
To be able to fight the Chihu Assassin one-on-one without getting hurt is not something that ordinary people can do.
Most casual cultivators have very poor fighting skills. Let alone defeating assassins of the same level, even if they are in the middle stage of Qi Refining and fight against a wooden assassin, there is a high chance of overturning.
Unlike now, he was knocked to the ground by a Talisman Maker.
and……
Wei Tie could see that Lu Zhong's attack was extremely vicious. Every wound on the assassin's body was directed towards the vital part, which showed that he had no intention of saving anyone's life.
This is not the practice of ordinary casual cultivators.
From this point of view, Lu Zhong looks more like an assassin.
If you don't take action, it will be fine. If you do, it will take people's lives.
Thinking of this, Wei Tie raised his hand towards Lu Zhong and said politely: "Fellow Daoist Lu, regarding the Chihu assassin, we will definitely investigate and tell you if there is any news."
"Here you go, Captain." Lu Zhong was stunned for a moment and then said with his hands.
Soon, the law enforcement team left with the body.
When he arrived at the door, he realized that there were already many people watching the excitement outside.
Also, how could such a major incident that alarmed the law enforcement team not attract curious onlookers?
"Well, after tonight, I will probably become famous."
Lu Zhong's eyes passed over the crowd inadvertently, and happened to meet a figure among them.
Even though the light was extremely dim, he could still recognize him at a glance, it was Lin Zhongze.
Looking at Lu Zhong, his eyes were darting from side to side, and his expression seemed a little flustered. One look at him revealed that there was something wrong in his mind.
"He is really a person who can't hide his worries..." Lu Zhong thought secretly in his heart.
A thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he walked quickly towards Lin Zhongze.
"Tell me quickly if you invited the assassin!"
Hearing this, the crowd immediately burst into an uproar.
Among them was a casual cultivator who knew Lin Zhongze, and he had a thoughtful expression on his face at this moment.
"I...I don't know what you are talking about, I just happened to be on the right path." Lin Zhongze originally came over to see the results, but he never thought that not only the assassin he invited would be killed, but he himself would also be questioned by Lu Zhong.
Thinking of a suitable reason, he immediately calmed down and continued to argue: "My family lives at No. 19 Ningyuan Lane, which is very close to here. It is normal to come here when you hear any noise."
"Yes, I can testify that Daoyou Lin does live in Ningyuan Lane."
"Fellow Taoist, have you misunderstood? With Taoist friend Lin's personality, he would not do such a thing."
Hearing that others were speaking out for him, Lin Zhongze became calmer.
"That's it, maybe I really saw it wrong." Lu Zhong pretended to be guilty. He was not trying to get Lin Zhongze to confess, he just wanted to force him.
Since the goal has been achieved, there is no harm in admitting the mistake.
Soon, the crowd dispersed.
When Lu Zhong returned home, he first used the Qi Watching Technique to observe to make sure no one was watching him, and then used the two techniques of Condensing Breath and Concealment to turn over and jump out of the courtyard wall.
"Originally I didn't know where you lived, but I didn't expect that I would tell you."
In this way, it saves a lot of time.
He used his Qi-gazing technique to observe for a while, then walked towards Ningyuan Lane.
Lu Zhong had many impressions about Ningyuan Lane. It was a residential area with better living conditions than row houses, but worse than single-family courtyards. They were all small tile-roofed houses with one bedroom and one living room.
The monthly rent only costs one spirit stone, which is the same amount as his former small shabby house.
Arriving at No. 19 Ningyuan Lane, Lu Zhong's vision was completely black and white, and there was no trace of anyone inside. He couldn't help frowning and thinking: "He's not at home. Could it be that he left Fangshi?"
He looked towards the south side of Fang City, which was the direction of the abandoned settlement he had explored before.
Thinking of the murder-for-hire letter, Lin Zhongze might have gone there.
"The possibility is not high, but you can give it a try." Lu Zhong secretly thought to himself that this is an excellent opportunity, otherwise Lin Zhongze would have been hiding in Fang City and would have no chance to make a move.
Although Lin Zhongze is at the fourth level of Qi Refining, if he can find an opportunity, he may not have the opportunity to attack and kill the opponent.
"If there is no chance, then we will talk about it later!"
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong no longer hesitated and walked quickly towards the exit of Fangshi.
