Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 370 No need for trouble

"The body was discovered yesterday morning; it was just a skin, stuffed with some straw inside."

"The skin wasn't peeled off; rather, the internal organs and soul were completely devoured. Judging from the marks, it took three days for the person to die completely."

"In addition, all the survivors in Tangjia Village also died, and in the same way."

Within the Western Sea, the city lord of Emerald Valley New City was reporting Tommy's situation to Sang You, Jin Chuan, and others with a look of fear on his face.

Tommy, a member of the Great Venerable lineage, was deeply troubled by the incident in Cuihe New City, which left him unable to eat or sleep.

Sang You and Yuan Xuan looked gloomy, while Li Xing frowned slightly and remained silent.

Jin Chuan subconsciously glanced at Li Wushou, who had just returned from Huangyuan Mountain.

Seeing the other person's expressionless face, Jin Chuan felt a sudden unease.

He already suspected that he had been framed for Li Wushou, and now that Tommy, who had exposed the West Sea Vein, was dead, and Li Wushou had suddenly returned from Huangyuan Mountain, his suspicions were basically confirmed.

This happened right after the Great Venerable left, giving him a vague sense of unease!

Who could so accurately track the Great One's movements?

Besides Roche, who else?
Moreover, he was 80% certain that the Luo family was behind such a targeted act of revenge and killing!
This made him extremely angry, but he was also somewhat helpless!

With a major change imminent, Fubo Domain faces immense pressure in the face of Mount Bulao.

The Luo family and the Great Venerable lineage should have supported each other, but their actions at this moment, disregarding the overall situation, made him even more indignant!
But he also understood that once the Luo family made a move, it would not be aimed at Tommy alone.

Because of the limitations imposed by heaven and earth, Jin Chuan was not afraid of the Luo family plotting against him, but it was hard to say about Chong Yuan and Li Wushou.

He had warned Chongyuan to be careful as soon as he received the news, but Li Wushou?
To be honest, because of Bu Lan, he knew more than Sang You and Yuan Xuan.

He knew why the Luo family was targeting Li Wushou.

But upon seeing Li Wushou here and understanding what happened last time, he inexplicably felt that if the Luo family were to try to take advantage of Li Wushou, they probably wouldn't succeed.

Li Wushou was not one to swallow his pride, and his abilities were probably far more than what he had shown on the surface.

He still couldn't understand how Li Wushou had managed to subdue the Goddess of Childbirth and the group of people from the Western Sea Vein in the distant Cuihe New City. He also couldn't understand how Li Wushou dared to attack the Great Venerable in his own residence.

A few days ago, when he delivered the World Treasure to Li Wushou at Huangyuan Mountain, he even sensed an inexplicable pressure on Li Wushou. Clearly, during his seclusion, Li Wushou's cultivation had made another breakthrough.

All these pieces of information actually reveal that Li Wushou is not a simple person.

Despite this, Jin Chuan still did not want the conflict between the two sides to escalate further.

After all, that was the Luo family, a family with two powerful members!

Even if Li Wushou has the upper hand at the moment, once the world changes drastically and the Luo clan officially takes control of the world, it will not be a good thing for Li Wushou.

Although Li Wushou had pinned the blame on him, Luo Xuan's actions were indeed heinous, and he didn't want to see Li Wushou get into trouble.

On the other hand, Jin Chuan could think of almost the same questions as Li Xing, who was still clueless. Sang You and Yuan Xuan had also thought of similar questions.

Besides the information about Li Wushou, the two immediately focused their attention on the Luo family.

After a moment's hesitation, Sang You summoned his attendants and gave them instructions:
"Summon the new head of the Luo family."

Li Wushou stood to the side and spoke calmly:
"Do not bother!"

Everyone turned to look, their faces showing confusion.

Jin Chuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and he quickly stood up, advising Li Wushou:
"Envoy Li, whether the Luo family was behind this is still undetermined and there is no evidence. After all, the Luo family is the eldest daughter's maternal clan. With a major upheaval imminent, please be cautious for the sake of overall stability."

Meanwhile, he simultaneously activated his primordial spirit in the East Sea Realm, which then fled into Zhenhai City to reach the Luo Clan.

Judging from the last time he took the blame, Li Wushou is capable of handling the Luo clan.

More importantly, he sensed killing intent in Li Wushou's calm words!
Sang You and Yuan Xuan were both puzzled by what Li Wushou and Jin Chuan said, as they did not understand how this matter was related to Li Wushou.

Li Wushou glanced at Jin Chuan but remained silent. A hush fell over the hall.

Jin Chuan's anxiety grew even stronger, and he began sending messages to Sang You and Yuan Xuan.

……

Within Zhenhai City, near the western border of the sea, lies a mountain range called "Qinglian".

At the foot of the Qinglian Mountains, there is a river called "Chenglu".

The Luo family lived in a house nestled against the mountains and beside the river, with the Qinglian Mountains behind them and the Chenglu River in front of them.

Although Luo Ze and Luo Xuan were executed one after another, and many members of the Luo family were implicated in the "three-year-old baby" incident and purged, Wu Zhuangyuan did not completely eliminate the remaining members of the Luo family from Zhenhai City.

Therefore, many core members of the Luo family still reside in the Luo residence.

Even though a month has passed, the entire Luo family mansion is still draped in mourning clothes, and as time goes by, more and more members of the Luo family are returning from elsewhere to gather here.

Some were there to offer condolences, others to take control of the household, and still others to seek revenge. Their motivations varied.

At this moment, a dozen or so people had gathered in the Luo family's council hall.

The three people seated above possessed a profound aura, no less than Luo Ze's, clearly all being Nascent Soul True Monarchs. Below them were seven or eight Golden Core True Persons.

The crowd burned incense, sipped tea, and engaged in lively discussion.

The middle-aged man in green robes, who was seated at the head of the group, coughed lightly, and the sound in the council hall immediately ceased.

The middle-aged man in green robes nodded slightly and spoke slowly:
"The Azure Lotus Envoy has issued a decree: the next step is to integrate the resources of the Luo Clan in Zhenhai City to help me achieve the Divine Transformation stage. After the Great Venerable and the Lotus Venerable meet, I will seize the opportunity to regain control of the Western Sea Vein."

These words were met with cheers from the entire audience.

Even the other two True Lords showed no particular emotion and offered their congratulations.

After the congratulations, a Golden Core cultivator at the lower seat suddenly muttered something to himself:
"Your Excellency is truly something else. We were only doing this for the young lady, and you, a mere mortal, have actually..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the leader with a cold snort.

"How many lives do you have? How dare you question the Great One? I don't want to hear anything like that again. Did you all hear that?"

"promise!"

Everyone was startled, and they all agreed!

Seeing this, the leader calmed down and spoke again:
"Lotus Venerable will seek justice for Ancestor Xuan and the others in this matter. We should just do our own thing!"

This is indeed true. Even if the Great Venerable is not perfect, it is not our place to speak. Even the Golden Core cultivators who were somewhat dissatisfied earlier are now convinced and agree:
"That's right. I heard that the city lord of Cuihe New City entered the Western Sea today."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions brightened, revealing expressions of delight. Another Golden Core cultivator beside him spoke up:
"Let them come. We're all in Zhenhai City. How can you blame us? Without evidence, even the Great Venerable can't do anything to us."

Upon hearing this, the green-robed True Lord at the head waved his hand again, interrupting:
"Alright, this matter will be handled by the Qinglian Envoy. We need not say more. Notify all parties to gather information on Li Wushou, Chongyuan, and Jinchuan. In particular, the Qinglian Envoy has specifically instructed that Li Wushou's latest information must be reported daily."

Many people present did not understand this secret order. In their minds, the real culprits were Jin Chuan and Chong Yuan, and Li Wushou was at most a catalyst.

However, they quickly agreed, since they had heard that Li Wushou came from Huazhou. Although he had some strength, he came from an ordinary background and had no connections, so his death was no big deal.

Just like those commoners, no one will make a big fuss about it.

This is probably why the Qinglian Envoy prioritized gathering information about Li Wushou.

As everyone speculated and was about to accept their orders and disperse, a clear voice suddenly rang out from inside the hall:

"You're paying so much attention to me?"

"No need to trouble yourself, I'm here!"
