Whose heretical cultivator relies on a rich woman to attain enlightenment?

"Hey, don't go, don't go!"

"Now that you're a member of the Demon Suppression Division, you've been coming here every day to fleece me. It's time to do your part... Hey, hey, hey, don't run away."

"Look, Lord Huang Zhao trusts you so much and has promoted you. You should at least show your appreciation, right? Young people shouldn't be so opportunistic, always thinking about immediate gains. You need to have a longer-term vision!"

"If this succeeds, I'll get a promotion and a raise, marry a beautiful and wealthy woman, and reach the pinnacle of life..."

A sharp gaze sent a chill down Liang's spine.

Turning his head, he saw a girl he had never seen before sitting elegantly in a chair in the backyard pavilion, legs crossed, holding a book in her hands and not saying a word. Her appearance was not stunningly beautiful, but rather pleasing to the eye and pretty. However, the inexplicable pressure made him a little nervous.

Lu Cheng completely ignored him, letting it go in one ear and out the other.

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

"I'm only at the initial stage now, the initial stage! That half-formed zombie gave me a real run of trouble last time, and now you want me to be bait to lure out the mastermind?"

"Leaving aside the mastermind, the contact's cultivation level is unlikely to be lower than the third realm, right? Any lower, and I can't even beat a newly established Foundation Establishment cultivator."

He quickly grabbed the boy's sleeve and began to earnestly advise him.

Many of the commanders had explained the situation in detail during the meeting, and at that time, someone suggested that Lu Chenglai be used as bait.

That's right, it's that Ninth Banner Commander.

The feud between the two was now firmly established. The Ninth Banner Commander was the kind of person who was petty and calculating, and having been humiliated this time, he would naturally retaliate.

Initially, it was the Ninth Banner's mismanagement of its subordinates that caused the incident. Upon returning, Huang Zhao reprimanded the Ninth Division and deducted its salary and a significant amount of cultivation resources. The Ninth Banner had no complaints about the punishment, as its subordinates had indeed gone too far.

but.

Lu Cheng, wielding Huang Zhao's token and abusing his power, ordered the subordinates of the Nine Departments. This behavior was not only overstepping his bounds but also a provocation. How dare someone like you, who got in through the back door, discipline my subordinates?

Therefore, he was the leader at today's meeting, and the reasons he gave were perfectly legitimate.

The zombie was captured by Lu Cheng, and Lu Cheng noticed the clues. Moreover, it was Lu Cheng who proposed the follow-up plan. This can be considered as him digging a hole for himself.

Cuiying, the madam, had many connections with the Demon Suppression Division. To put it bluntly, several senior members were her clients. Through the intentional or unintentional revelations of the Division, she "accidentally" learned who had killed her beloved son.

"Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu, as a member of the Demon Suppression Division, you must have the spirit of eliminating evil for the people."

"We've been in a meeting all morning, and no one is more suitable than you. The plan is this: you'll go straight to Sweetwater Street as usual. You're a regular there, so no one will suspect anything if you just stroll around."

"Zuichunlou is just across an alley from Hongxiuzhao, which you usually go to. Since you go there often, you should be seen. Take the initiative to wander around the vicinity of Zuichunlou, and she will definitely try to trick you into going to her contact person."

"This woman loves her son dearly. I know that the Demon Suppression Division did not do a good job in this matter, allowing demons to enter Jingnan City. But we must prioritize things and not let her continue to harm people."

"Or, would you just have to make do?"

After being glared at by Han Guang, Master Liang became much more obedient, his tone revealing a hint of pleading. The Demon Suppression Division was still pretending to know nothing. After the previous city-wide search for corpses, they had entered a period of inaction, afraid of alerting the enemy.

Lu Cheng originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Master Liang's sincere old face, he didn't know how to decline for a moment. He turned his head to look at the city center, where he could see the Demon Suppression Tower standing tall even though it was more than ten miles away.

A calm gaze seemed to sweep across the top of the tower, the senior sister's habitual look down upon all living beings.

"You're just planning to get something for nothing? I risked my life to be the bait this time, you should at least offer something in return."

She finally relented.

He wasn't the kind of person overflowing with a sense of justice. In Lu Cheng's own words, he was a sophisticated egoist. He was indifferent to things that didn't concern him and minded his own business. This was his way of surviving. Otherwise, how could an orphan who had lost his parents survive alone in Jingnan?

But when he thought about the memories he saw in his mind, he found himself unable to calm down.

"Of course."

Bright eyes.

Master Liang is an old and shrewd man. Although his cultivation level is low, only at the peak of Foundation Establishment, his ability to read people is absolutely first-rate. As long as it comes to the point of extortion, he can handle it easily. Besides, how much appetite can a beginner cultivator have?

"Don't worry about safety. The contact person will definitely be outside Jingnan City. Although you will be going out of the city once, as long as you go to Zuichunlou, we will definitely have someone following you."

"Including the time that follows, when you go to the border to haul away corpses, just report to the Demon Suppression Division in advance. When you go out, two skilled men will be sent to protect you."

Seeing Lu Cheng pout as he picked up the teapot, Master Liang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed; he was used to being stingy.

"I'll get you some good stuff then, how about that?"

The voice suddenly lowered.

This remark elicited a reaction from Lu Cheng.

"What good stuff?"

"Ahem, I have a cultivation technique that nourishes Yin and replenishes Yang. I heard that Lord Ji seized it decades ago when he was slaying demons, and it has been sitting in the storeroom ever since. This technique is a Xuan-level technique..."

"How dare you! Do you think I'm that kind of person? Do I look like I'm physically weak? Are you questioning me?"

He immediately slammed his fist on the table.

The old man and the young man looked in unison at Han Guang, who was yawning in the pavilion not far away. Even Master Liang had to admit that this young man was quite lucky with women. Although the woman was plain-looking, her figure was truly rare.

After confirming that his righteous words had reached Han Guang's ears, the boy immediately lowered his voice as well.

Is this really true?

"Really? I know a few good doctors in Jingnan with excellent medical skills. You think I don't know you go to brothels every day? Look at those dark circles under your eyes, you must have been up to no good at night."

"Go away, I'm a decent person, I would never do such a thing. Besides this cultivation manual, you have to give me something else in return, right?"

"What...what do you want?"

"Cough cough."

He coughed a few times and cleared his throat.

"First of all, if I go to act as bait, you can't rush me. I will report the situation every day."

"Then, all expenses during this period will be borne by the Demon Suppression Division. This is considered doing a public service, so there's no reason for me to pay for it."

"at last."

"Give me a better flying sword. Look at this one I have, it's chipped like this."

Master Liang nodded repeatedly. In fact, Huang Zhao had told him before he came that any requests should be met, but the old man always liked the feeling of bargaining.

"Fine, I agree. Let's go, let's talk about the plan on the way..."
