Lu Xiaoyue had actually been prepared for the Yuanxian Sect's interference in the internal affairs of Hanling Kingdom. After all, the opponent had dragon vein bones in their hands, and sooner or later they would start to annex Hanling Kingdom.
But she didn't expect that the Yuanxian Sect would come so quickly, and in the name of the West Shang Kingdom.
"Do I need to be afraid?" She smiled faintly, looked straight at City Master Yang and said, "Although Yuanxian Sect is powerful, they are just a group of ordinary immortal cultivators. It's not like I haven't seen them before..."
With that said, she pointed to the four guards behind her and introduced to City Lord Yang: "Look, they are all immortal cultivators, and they are also disciples of the Eagle Shadow Sect of the Far Eagle Kingdom. They are all my guards now!"
"I know!" City Lord Yang gritted his teeth and retorted loudly: "I know you have four immortal cultivators as bodyguards, but so what? If you dare to touch me, Yuanxian Sect will never let you go!"
"Haha... you take yourself too seriously!" Lu Xiaoyue glanced at him disdainfully, then turned her head and said to the four guards behind her: "Which one of you will help me execute him?"
"I'll do it!" Senior Brother Lan was the first to stand up and responded without hesitation.
City Lord Yang has repeatedly used Yuanxian Sect to threaten Lu Xiaoyue, and Senior Brother Lan can no longer stand it anymore.
Isn’t it just the Yuanxian Sect? It sounds like it’s so powerful, but labor and management haven’t even mentioned their own sect yet.
Senior Brother Lan stood up with a look of displeasure on his face, pinched his fingers, and looked like he was about to take action.
City Lord Yang was immediately frightened.
He looked panicked and wanted to shout something, but before he could open his mouth, Senior Brother Lan blocked his mouth with magic, and he could only scream incessantly.
However, this situation did not last long.
Brother Lan made a clean move, and saw a flash of blue light. City Lord Yang had already lost his head and was dead.
After doing this, Senior Brother Lan clapped his hands and stood behind Lu Xiaoyue again, as if he had done something insignificant.
At this time, other people in the City Lord's Mansion were stunned.
They all couldn't believe that Lu Xiaoyue would execute the city lord so simply and directly... According to past practice, even if there is a rebellion, it should be heard by the capital and the royal family before being tried.
If the royal family is gone, but the Mie Ling Sect, which represents the Hanling Kingdom, still exists, and if a city lord is to be executed, shouldn’t the Mie Ling Sect conduct a trial before deciding to execute it?
Everyone felt that Lu Xiaoyue was trying to take over the power of the Soul-Destroying Sect.
If she does this, she will definitely be held accountable by the Soul-Destroying Sect...
Of course, in addition to the Soul-Destroying Sect, the Yuanxian Sect will also cause trouble for her, and the West Shang Kingdom will not let this city go...
This much trouble is enough for Lu Xiaoyue to drink a pot.
Shopkeeper Hong also had such worries and told Lu Xiaoyue without any secret, which resulted in a burst of laughter.
Lu Xiaoyue laughed nonchalantly and said: "Haha, the Soul-Destroying Sect is now busy taking care of itself and cannot protect itself. How can it hold people accountable? As for the Yuanxian Sect, they are also busy with a big thing and have no time to pay attention to this. They can send people
Come and say something to me, it's already very good... If it is the Western Shang Kingdom, my mentor hopes that they will invade in the name of revenge, so that we can have a chance to counterattack, otherwise it will become us invading others.
Already."
Lu Xiaoyue said it lightly, as if she didn't take this matter to heart. Such an attitude made other people in the City Lord's Mansion feel frightened.
If this appearance is not fake, it means that they have indeed provoked the people they shouldn't...
Lu Xiaoyue ignored other people's thoughts. After executing the city lord, he quickly began to deal with other members of the city lord's mansion who participated in the rebellion.
"Steward Meng of the City Lord's Mansion, you are a confidant of the City Lord. You participated in the entire rebellion process and even contributed a lot. Am I right?" She read the name of the steward of the City Lord's Mansion while counting the charges against him in detail.
.
Manager Meng remained silent, neither denying nor admitting, but just looked at her coldly.
When Lu Xiaoyue saw this, she just smiled, then waved her hand towards him, making a "chop" gesture.
The next moment, Senior Brother Lan behind him took action again, and instantly struck out a sword, killing Manager Meng.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Xiaoyue walked up to a strong man in armor and spoke again: "Lin Tiandun, captain of the guards of the City Lord's Mansion! You are usually responsible for recruiting, training, and commanding the guards for the City Lord's Mansion, and you also participated in this rebellion.
Furthermore, in conjunction with the city lord's lies, most of the guards were kept in the dark, causing them to rebel with you without knowing anything and become traitors inexplicably."
"You...sin is unforgivable!"
As soon as these words came out, Junior Brother Liang behind her couldn't help but take action without Lu Xiaoyue's command.
In a flash, before most people could react, Captain Lin had already followed in the footsteps of the first two and went with them to the underworld to keep company.
He dealt with three people in a row, and they were all important figures in the city lord's palace, a city lord, a housekeeper, and a guard captain.
At this moment, everyone realized that Lu Xiaoyue was not just talking, she was actually doing it!
The city lord, the housekeeper, and the captain of the guard are the first, second, and third leaders of the city lord's mansion respectively. Once they die, it will be the turn of others to do the rest.
When Lu Xiaoyue turned her eyes to the others, they were all as silent as a cicada, and each one was filled with fear.
"Yang Liangyi, the nephew of the city lord, is usually responsible for the correspondence between Lingjing City and the outside world. He also plays an extremely important role in this rebellion... City lord Yang has secretly communicated with the West Shang Kingdom, and all the correspondence is from you.
Responsible, am I right?" Lu Xiaoyue began to name names again.
Yang Liangyi, who was named, was so frightened that he could not help but take a few steps back. When he heard Lu Xiaoyue's question, he shook his head crazily in denial.
"No, no! I don't know anything about Third Uncle's secret liaison with the Western Shang Kingdom... I'm just a person responsible for sorting out documents. I don't know about these major events at all. This rebellion has nothing to do with me!" He shouted loudly
He defended himself.
However, Lu Xiaoyue was not fooled by these excuses. She had already received the news from Bai Xiaolou and basically figured out who was the mastermind of this matter, who was the accomplice, and who was the real innocent.
person.
The reason why she asked this was just to let some people understand that she was not indiscriminately convicting others.
Everything she did was justified.
"You work in the city lord's palace. On the surface, you don't have any position, but you are very important. What does this mean? It means that what you do is not overt, but some secret activities, such as private contacts with the Western Shang Kingdom.
Secretly contacted Yuanxian Sect. Am I right?" Lu Xiaoyue unceremoniously revealed Yang Liangyi's background.
