Chapter 1040 Stepping into the Trap
At the same time, Yuan family.

The sword-tasting competition went on for a while, and as expected, no one was able to win the German Sword.

Fu Qingzhou stretched, thinking that it was almost time for him to go up.

But just as he was about to take a step, an ethereal voice suddenly came from above the square.

"My family's elites and disciples, it is noon now. Please have your meal first. We will continue the sword tasting competition in the afternoon."

Hearing this voice, Fu Qingzhou's expression became slightly serious.

He couldn't tell where the voice came from...

If he didn't use some powerful magic weapon, it means that this person's cultivation level is higher than his, at least he is in the fifth level of the cave heaven!
The Yuan family has a strong foundation.

Come to think of it, such a big family cannot be without some powerful means of violence, it’s just that they didn’t need it in the past, so they were able to hide it well, right?
But the world is already in such chaos now, and everyone has already escalated the struggle to the point of life and death. Aren't they willing to send out these old monsters in the family?
Do you still want to keep something in reserve to protect your teammates?

Judging from the style of the family, this is indeed possible.

"It's no big deal to have a meal... Why interrupt the meeting..."

Fu Qingzhou heard the whispers of other Yuan family elites around him: "The family is facing external enemies right now. It's so urgent, why are you still so leisurely?"

"Yes! If I had known earlier, I would have gone up there. This sword would definitely be mine!"

"Come on, come on, just eat. Do you think you can snatch the sword from under the nose of the Lord?"

"Tsk, if it were me, I would just go up and take the sword, and then I would become the sword master! Then I would also be a worshiper!"

"Come on, if the sword doesn't recognize you, you will be beaten to death by the Lord Priest!"

These people were discussing and joking randomly, and under the leadership of the clan servants, they left the square one after another, and the crowd watching in the square also temporarily dispersed.

Fu Qingzhou left with them, but his eyes narrowed slightly.

Yes, now that we are surrounded by external enemies, we are in such a hurry to hold a sword-appreciating competition. Do we have time to leisurely eat lunch in the middle of the conference?
Something must be wrong.

Thinking of the look Yuan Zizheng had given him just now, Fu Qingzhou figured out something.

Yes, after I rejected Ning Wuwang's invitation to gamble, it is impossible for the other party to remain silent. They will still have to deal with me.

How could Ning Wuwang not know that he was using that ghost to alienate the noble family and King Xishuo?
and so……

"The Yuan family has probably locked onto my identity."

Fu Qingzhou smiled slightly: "What lunch? Are you looking for a chance to kill me?"

He did not react in a hurry, but just followed the crowd leisurely.

Sure enough, halfway through his meal with a group of elite young men, a servant appeared behind Fu Qingzhou and patted him on the shoulder.

"The Fiery Sun Guard."

The servant said softly, "Master Zizhen wants to see you."

The elite young men who were eating in the dining hall all looked at him with envy - no matter what, anyone who could be directly summoned and ordered by the third-ranked figure in the family was definitely a true confidant in the eyes of the big guys!

"Oh, good."

Fu Qingzhou put down his chopsticks and stood up: "Lead the way."

Of course, he also saw the envious eyes of the people around him, and couldn't help laughing in his heart, do you want this blessing? If you want it, I can give it to you.

He touched the sword disguised as a ring on his little finger and followed the servant silently.

This time, the servant still took him to Yuan Zizheng's study.

Before he even got close to the study, Fu Qingzhou's little finger started to hurt.

The sword began to emit a burning heat, burning his skin - but so far, Fu Qingzhou did not sense that anyone was ambushing around.

"Interesting. Did they use some means to hide themselves? Perhaps there is more than one person?"

He exhaled softly.

Do we want to start a war here? Of course it is not economical.

Ning Wushu and his men wanted to deal with the Lan family. They used their own side to divert the Lan family's attention, and then mobilized an entire rebel army plus the masters of the Xuan League to attack, including even Xuanxing realm powerhouses like Baihe Zhenren.

This shows that they believe that this level of power is needed to deal with an aristocratic family.

And he was alone? To deal with the Yuan family?
What an international joke.

It shouldn't be a problem to escape, but he had gone to such great lengths to sneak in, and the German sword was right there, so why didn't he care about anything and just ran away? He was definitely unwilling to do that.

So……

The best way is actually to make these people believe that they are not Fu Qingzhou.

Now the question is, how to prove this?
His mind raced as he slowly followed the servant to the door of the study.

"Guard Lieyang, please come in. Master Zizhen is waiting for you inside."

The servant said this, making a gesture of invitation and looking towards Fu Qingzhou.

Fu Qingzhou also looked at him at the same time, and was stunned.

All along the way, he was thinking about ambushes and traps, and didn't pay much attention to the servant. At this moment, he saw...

That's not right! Why is the look in this servant's eyes so cold, so dead, and so... familiar?
Wu Yan!

Fu Qingzhou suddenly recognized the man in front of him.

Although the other person's face had completely changed, there was no doubt that this was Wu Yan!

Wu Yan nodded at him: "Liyang Guard, please come in."

Fu Qingzhou laughed.

This kid disappeared at Wangxian Pass before. I guessed that he must have other ways to sneak into the Yuan family. It turns out that he disguised himself as a servant and sneaked in!

Okay, okay, I’m just worried about not having any help!

"Thank you for your hard work, brother."

Fu Qingzhou took Wu Yan's hand and patted it gently on his palm: "This little change, use it to have some tea."

Wu Yan lowered his head - a small ring appeared on his palm. As soon as the ring entered his hand, it began to emit a terrifying sword intent, and instantly pierced his palm into a bloody mess.

But he seemed not to feel any pain and gently clenched his hands into fists.

The sword intent from the sword of punishment continued to pierce into his flesh and blood, but his flesh and blood was also constantly recovering.

"Thank you, Sun Guard."

Wu Yan bowed, clasped his fists, and smiled naturally: "If you have anything to say, just tell me."

"Hahaha, I do have something to trouble you, brother." Fu Qingzhou said with a smile, "Just keep an eye on it. If the meeting starts, let me know if it's convenient. I still want to get that magic sword, don't let anyone get there first."

"rest assured."

Wu Yan bowed even lower: "As long as it's convenient, I will let you know."

After saying that, he trotted away.

His fists were clenched tightly throughout the whole process, and the sword intent of the Xing Sword did not leak out at all.

Fu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Yan indeed came at the right time. He was the right person. No one else could hold the sword of punishment.

Even though this guy looks dull and inflexible, he should actually be smart enough... Can he understand my hints?

But right now, I don’t have time to think about these things.

Fu Qingzhou calmed down and pushed open the door of the study.
