"Sect Master, what should we do next?" A man in purple robe stood up and said.
After listening to Elder Ni Qing's report, Luo Shitian's face twitched violently several times, his chest heaved, his eyes were red, his teeth were cracked, and he was obviously in a state of rage.
This Lu Chen originally had no grievances against their Shenhuo Pope, but because of robbing a heavenly material and earthly treasure, he not only killed his most beloved only son, but also killed his most respected law enforcement elder, and even seriously injured Wang Jingxian himself.
Take away the famous sword and make him a useless person.
These deeds have brought great shame to the Shenhuo Pope. If Lu Chen is not captured and severely punished, he will definitely become the laughing stock of the world's forces in the future.
As the leader of a religion, how could Luo Shitian tolerate such a thing to happen?
"This is my order to arrest Lu Chen in Youzhou. We will offer a reward of 10,000 taels of gold and a fief of 3,000 acres to kill this thief!"
"Those who dare to tolerate criminals will have their entire family killed and sentenced to death!"
"Those who provide true information about their whereabouts will be rewarded with one hundred thousand taels of silver, one thousand acres of fertile land, and one hundred servants!"
"Those who assist the captor will be given a prefecture-level secret book and a house!"
"Lu Chen, if you dare to offend me, Pope Shenhuo, I will make him live in fear and nightmares all day long, unable to eat or sleep!"
"I will never be able to show my face in the Kyushu Continent for the rest of my life, just like a wild dog, and I will never be able to live under the sun!"
Upon hearing the leader's order, all the law enforcement elders in the hall suddenly took a breath, their breathing became extremely heavy, and they were shocked in their hearts by the Pope's cruel methods.
How resentful the Pope is for being willing to spend so much money to catch a person.
In the face of such huge interests, many of the elders present here are heart-beating and their eyes are gleaming. Who is not greedy and who doesn't want to be the first to achieve success.
There is no way, the reward conditions are too tempting and generous. Whoever can kill Lu Chen will be directly rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold and 3,000 acres of fiefdom.
What is this concept? The fiefdom of three thousand acres is astonishingly large, equivalent to the territory of a small city.
In this territory, he is the emperor of the earth, domineering and doing whatever he wants. It is approved by the Holy Fire Pope and no one interferes.
Once this news is released, it will definitely attract the attention of the world's forces, and a large number of experts will be ready to take action and try their best to search for Lu Chen.
Lu Chen was alone and helpless in Youzhou, and he did not dare to show his face outside.
Three days later, the defense of the entire Youzhou border town was doubled, and a large number of troops and horses were mobilized. From time to time, the common people could see some martial arts masters entering and leaving the border town. There was a sudden rumbling and panic.
Now every city, street and alley is circulating a person's name, Lu Chen.
Obviously, the reward documents issued by Luo Shitian had been distributed to various counties and regions overnight, making everyone aware of it.
After the reward was announced, it was like a storm blew up. What Lu Chen had done spread to everyone's ears, causing a huge shock in Youzhou.
....
On a desolate official road, a camel team marched slowly, heading towards a city called Wushen Pass on the border of Youzhou. The sweet bells kept ringing on the camels, accompanied by bursts of cool wind.
It sounds exceptionally clear and beautiful on a quiet trail.
This team is not an ordinary caravan. In fact, it is a team that performs business performances in various places in Kyushu. It is called Qianjibo. There are more than a dozen boxes of goods in the team. It looks like a lot, but in fact, the content inside is not much.
It is a prop used by some dancers and actors in daily performances.
The camel team stopped to rest when they reached a green and shaded valley.
The weather is clear and the sun is shining brightly. For business travelers who have been traveling in Kyushu for a long time, they not only have to guard against bandits on the mountain roads, but also have to bump along the way, which is really tiring.
This canyon is long and dark, and the air is cool, making it a good place to rest.
After the caravan stopped, some dancers jumped down from the carriage in groups and each found a place to rest. Their beautiful figures, yellow, fat, green and thin, became the most eye-catching scenery of the caravan, attracting many men to whistle.
Tease.
More than thirty guards spread out in twos and threes and set up sentries to guard against sudden attacks by bandits in the surrounding area.
A slovenly man with disheveled hair and half an eye patch stepped out of the carriage and carried a sword on his back. He glanced around and secretly sighed: "The wind has been so tight recently. If I want to leave Youzhou, I have to disguise myself.
It’s a cover-up. I don’t know what happened to Han Wenqing and the others!”
This sloppy man was Lu Chen, who had disappeared for more than half a month. Ever since he escaped overnight in Wushan Town, he had been hiding in various places during this period, and was in a state of embarrassment.
He is not afraid of fighting alone. What he is afraid of is that the Shenhuo Sect keeps sending experts to entangle him. If Na Luo Shitian himself comes over, it will be terrible. Therefore, he must be more careful.
In order to avoid attracting others' attention, he hid the Xuanqing heavy sword and the stolen shadow-killing sword in the carriage, mixing them with the wooden props. If they didn't look carefully, outsiders wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
"Come, one-eyed dragon, drink some water to moisten your throat!" A short-haired man with a strong build, scars on his face, and black leather armor walked over and threw a bag of water to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen took it with a smile: "Thanks, Scar!"
The real name of the Dao Scar mentioned by Lu Chen is Yang Kai. His hometown is Qinghe County, Shuiyuan County. He practiced internal strength and some swordsmanship when he was young, so he became quite famous in the local area very early.
But he didn't want to be lonely, and he didn't want to join those big forces with complicated rules. He liked to be unrestrained, so he simply set up an escort agency and started a escort business.
He was generous and daring, and in just a few years he recruited a group of like-minded associates. He soon became quite famous in his hometown.
A few days ago, Lu Chen pretended to be a traveler and walked southward, and happened to meet this caravan. However, unfortunately, this group of people encountered a group of bandits at that time, and the two sides started a crazy fight, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Lu Chen took action without hesitation at that time. He killed several bandits with one strike, scaring the bandits to the point of peeing.
Seeing Lu Chen's generous help and his skill, Yang Kai warmly invited him to join the caravan after asking where he was going. They left Youzhou and headed to Yuema County in Yongzhou together, taking care of each other on the way.
Therefore, Lu Chen naturally joined the caravan and headed south.
"We are about to enter the border. We have to be careful. The Holy Fire Pope checks the passing business travelers closely, so don't let those little pawns stare at us and empty our money bags!" Scar sat on a big rock and sighed with a bitter smile.
road.
"What is the interrogation for? Is it so strict?" Lu Chen asked knowingly.
Scar raised his head and glanced at him, and said with some confusion: "There is such a big movement now, and you don't even know about it!"
"It seems you know, tell me!" Lu Chen said with a smile.
Scar said: "Not long ago, a big event happened in Wushan Town!"
"What a big deal!" Lu Chen sat aside and pretended to listen carefully.
Scar took a bite of the dried meat he carried with him and said seriously: "Have you ever heard of Lu Chen? This is a big shot who is famous all over the world!"
At this time, when they heard Lu Chen's name being mentioned, some of the idle guards around seemed to have heard something interesting, and they all came closer to join in the fun and began to talk wantonly.
"Brother Scar, I have heard of Lu Chen. He is my idol!" A thin young man next to him said with admiration.
"Lu Chen has done so many great things that shocked the world. His courage and courage are really admirable!"
"The Holy Fire Pope has been made disgraced. This time there is something good to see!"
There were constant discussions among the crowd, and everyone was both admiring and amazed at the stories about Lu Chen that had been spread during this period.
Scar laughed and scolded: "What a shame, he's wanted, so he doesn't even dare to show his face now!"
He turned to Lu Chen, who was pretending to be a one-eyed dragon, and said: "Don't you know, Lu Chen is now in Youzhou, and his reputation is at its peak. He killed two law enforcement elders of the Shenhuo Sect, and seriously injured another law enforcement elder.
Take a magical weapon! Among them is Luo Chong, the only son of the Holy Fire Sect."
"Damn it, these guys who died tragically are all the most important figures at the core of the Holy Fire Sect. They all have high positions and are all great masters!"
"If one person dies, the whole world will be in turmoil. The loss was so huge at this time. The top leaders of Shenhuo Pope Lei Lei were furious and ordered the entire Youzhou to put a reward on Lu Chen's head."
"This Lu Chen is an unparalleled hero and is indeed majestic. It's a pity that he has harmed ordinary people like us!"
"Every area in Youzhou is strictly investigating criminals. These people who eat people without spitting out bones will definitely take the opportunity to make a fortune!"
Lu Chen responded with a smile: "There is nothing we can do about it. Who told us to encounter this!"
Deep down in his heart, he said silently: "The Shenhuo Pope acted very quickly. The whole territory was under martial law so quickly. This old man Luo Shitian really hates me to the core!"
"Boss Yang, it's almost time, let's set off!" At this time, a graceful and beautiful woman came over, holding a pink silk scarf and waving it, and shouted delicately.
Scar swallowed the last piece of dried meat in his hand and responded with a smile: "Master, okay, let's set off immediately!"
The caravan reorganized and set off, slowly heading towards Wushen Pass, which was the last pass to leave Youzhou. After crossing a mountain, they reached the boundary of Yongzhou.
Lu Chen has been keeping a low profile during this period, and no one has noticed anything.
Due to the recent martial law everywhere in Youzhou, apart from encountering a small group of blind bandits, there was no other trouble encountered along the way.
After marching for nearly three hours, the day gradually dimmed. At the end of the smooth official road, a huge fortress slowly emerged from everyone's sight.
