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

Chapter 68 The day fell dark.

"Summon Lu Cheng to the palace!"

The high-pitched, shrill voice caused many members of the Demon Suppression Division present to turn their heads simultaneously, their faces solemn, and even Lu Cheng's mind went blank.

"I have been summoned by the emperor?"

'

"Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"

"Do I need to kowtow to the emperor twice? What the hell!"

""

As if sensing the strange atmosphere, the eunuch holding the document looked somewhat embarrassed and gave an apologetic smile.

This isn't a palace; it's just a dilapidated and dangerous building. It's obvious that this eunuch was recently transferred to Jingnan City.

"Excuse me, everyone, it's just a professional habit. Please don't take offense."

His voice and movements did indeed resemble those of a eunuch, and his obsequious manner made people roll their eyes. Even Lu Cheng couldn't help but start to have doubts.

"Is he really the Right Demon Suppressor of our Demon Suppressing Division? The difference between him and Huang Zhao is too great, isn't it?"

But seeing that there were many familiar faces around, Lu Cheng patiently decided to continue listening, and even the people around him breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next second everyone suffered another cardiac arrest!

"By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:!"

""

"Lord Li, you've forgotten again, this isn't the palace."

,

His expression froze for a moment, then the elderly eunuch, whose face was completely clean-shaven and smooth and fair, gave an apologetic smile. It was clear that he wasn't playing a prank on anyone; it was a habit he had developed after spending so many years in the palace.

Even Chen An, the squad leader standing next to Lu Cheng, subtly nudged Lu Cheng's side with his elbow.

"Don't be impatient. That's just how Lord Li is. I've heard that he's been in the palace for a hundred years and he can't change some of his habits."

"Lord Li's real name is Li Ying. Many years ago, he was appointed as the Right Demon Suppression Envoy of the Jingnan Demon Suppression Division. He can directly contact the royal family of Dayue and even has the qualification to meet the Emperor directly. His cultivation is unfathomable and is no less than Lord Huang's."

"His Heavenly Eunuch Guardian Technique is even more superb, his body's aura is unbreakable, even when facing the siege of Nascent Soul stage cultivators, he is as solid as a rock and stands firm."

Although Lord Li returned to the capital shortly after being appointed Right Demon Suppression Envoy, he only occasionally visited Jingnan City to inspect the situation and report to the Emperor regularly.

"The reason for my visit must be—"

The second half of the sentence was left unsaid, but Lu Cheng immediately understood what was going on.

It's probably because of my senior sister's injuries.

With my senior sister injured and the border war brewing, a fight could break out at any moment. At this time, we need another expert who can keep things under control to come and help. Moreover, it is only reasonable for Lord Li to serve as the Right Demon Suppressor.

"Ahem!"

Standing not far away, holding documents in her hands, Li Ying cleared her throat, her signature smile still on her face.

"By order of the Left Demon Suppression Envoy of the Demon Suppression Division, and with the permission of the Chief of the Jingnan Demon Suppression Division and the Chief of the Jingcheng Demon Suppression Division, the Jingnan Demon Suppression Division shall establish its thirteenth banner effective immediately. The position of banner chief shall be temporarily determined. We hope that all colleagues will work hard and demonstrate their talents."

"So be it!"

It must be said that this Lord Li's professional competence is truly outstanding.

Even in such a cramped and dimly lit environment filled with the stench of corpses, it takes a skill to be able to read a document with a sense of sanctity.

Susu remained hidden in the shadows, her whereabouts unknown. Lord Li wore a kind smile on his face. Although he looked young, it was not hard to tell from his cloudy eyes that he had probably lived for at least several decades.

"yes.

"Many members of the Demon Suppression Division bowed, and Chen An, as the head of the First Banner, stepped forward and very respectfully took the document from Li Ying. Although his rank seemed to be only two levels higher than theirs, the actual difference in power was probably unimaginable."

Even the Zhu brothers, Wenhou and Feng, who were following behind, couldn't help but shrink back, becoming obedient and not daring to utter another word.

"Alright, take this evil spirit's corpse away. As for this female corpse, I'll trouble Young Master Lu Cheng to mend it."

"I already know what happened. If there are any difficulties with the case, please feel free to speak up."

,

"You may all step back for now. This old servant has a few more words he would like to say to this young talent who has just joined the Sword Sect."

The smile on his face never disappeared.

It's a strange feeling, not just a forced smile, but a feeling that the facial muscles have become completely stiff and rigid from maintaining a smile for a long time, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

Lu Cheng frowned, unsure of what this important figure wanted to discuss with him. The members of the Demon Suppression Division bowed and left without lingering, even taking the charred corpse with them.

Soon, only the two of them remained in the dimly lit, dangerous room.

A long silence fell over the room.

No one spoke. Lu Cheng didn't know what to say, while Li Ying remained standing there with a smile, looking as if she had passed away. In the end, Lu Cheng couldn't bear the silence and spoke up.

"Master Li?

""

I asked tentatively.

Just then, Li Ying slowly opened her eyes, which were curved into crescent moons as she smiled.

"I never expected that Young Master Lu would have such good fortune at such a young age. He has broken through two realms in just one month of cultivation. This is truly rare even in the capital. His future is limitless."

Just as he was about to respond, Li Ying's next words made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave!

"However, it seems that this blessing is due to the assistance of two experts at the eighth level, one of whom is an old friend whom I haven't seen for many years."

"Please show yourself?"

Li Ying's tone was both questioning and incredibly certain.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, the inconspicuous wooden fox carving in the corner moved slightly, and in the blink of an eye, it lightly landed and transformed into a fox demon, becoming that mature older sister again.

This scene terrified Lu Cheng, who immediately took three steps back and hastily distanced himself from the situation.

"I don't know her! She forced me into this! I'm willing to be a witness against her!"

,"you----"

Even Su was amused by this kid. Everyone else is a hero saving a damsel in distress, but why is he using me as a shield?

Li Ying remained smiling, calm and composed, and even seemed to have the mood to comfort Lu Cheng.

"Please rest assured, young master Lu."

""

"Before coming here, this old servant personally visited Master Ji and learned from her that her junior brother was being entangled by a foreign demoness and asked me to help him."

"I never expected it to be an old acquaintance."

,

Seeing Li Ying's expression, Su Su simply tucked a strand of hair behind her ear with her finger, appearing relaxed and carefree, not at all bothered by the dirt. She then plopped down on the table where the corpse had just been placed, her fox tail and ears sticking up high.

"Da Yue has long since fallen on hard times. There are only a handful of renowned experts left. Just thinking about it makes it clear that they would send you here. I don't like wasting time, so let's get straight to the point: are you going to do this business with Ji Xiaoxiao or not?"

He stopped breathing on the spot, and even his heart stopped beating for a moment.

Looking to his left and then to his right, Lu Cheng felt dizzy.

"So these two are in cahoots?"

"The Right Demon Suppressor of the Demon Suppression Bureau is actually cooperating with the demon race? And the target of this cooperation is my senior sister? Is he using my senior sister's life as a bargaining chip?"

'

"And then the senior sister trusted this new manager very much and asked him to help her?"

"Haha, hahahaha!"

'

He laughed wildly, looking up at the sky.

The day finally came to a close.
