Imperial Demon Slayer Division

Lu Chuanyu came and sat down opposite Lu Chuanbei and asked

"What does father mean? Was that drunkard sent by Gu Yan?"

Lu Xingli's expression at this moment can be described as as ugly as it can be.

"Before, when Bei'er came back from the prison, she told me that if your second brother could get your great grandfather to teach Nangong Shan the art of formation, Nangong Shan would forgive your second brother's crime. I felt something was wrong then."

"He is the champion of the Nangong Mountain Ten-Year Grand Test and a disciple of the late emperor. He has a promising future. Why would he bother to learn the art of formation? It turns out that all this was arranged by Gu Yan."

Lu Chuanyu knew how terrible Gu Yan was. The scene of the Xiao family being destroyed was still vivid in his mind.

No one in the Lu family wants to be targeted by the great god Gu Yan.

"Father, could it be just a coincidence? My Lu family didn't do anything that the Xiao family did, so why would Gu Yan target us?"

Lu Xingli just sighed deeply and did not answer Lu Chuanyu's question.

However, as the eldest son of the Lu family, Lu Chuanyu took advantage of the situation after Lu Xingguan's death to seize part of the Lu family's power. What a smart person he is.

Through Lu Xingli's performance and his great grandfather Lu Mingsheng who suddenly returned to the Lu family a few days ago, he immediately deduced that the problem was with Lu Mingsheng.

Lu Chuanyu frowned and looked at his father, whispering

"Could it be great grandfather?"

Lu Xingli nodded first, then shook his head and said in a deep voice

"I only know a little about your great-grandfather. Once I verify it with your grandfather, all the answers will come out naturally."

After Lu Xingli finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and walked out of the lobby.

Lu Chuanyu looked at his father's back with a complicated expression and suddenly said

"Father…"

When Lu Xingli heard his son's cry, he stopped and stood there, without saying a word or looking back.

"If Grandfather really did what the Xiao family did, how should we deal with it? What about the Lu family?"

When Lu Xingli heard his son's words, he sighed deeply again, said nothing, and walked out of the hall.

It was just that Lu Xingli's back seemed to bend down at that moment.

……

In the Jiangnan County Demon Slaying Division, Gu Yan instantly appeared in the Demon Slaying Hall.

When Bai Hu and Gong Jue saw Gu Yan coming back, they immediately stood up and saluted.

"I see you, my lord"

Gu Yan waved his hand casually, then walked to the first seat vacated by Baihu and sat down.

"Free gift"

After Baihu stood up straight, he waved his hand and a stream of icy energy quickly shot towards the palace door, trying to close it.

Gu Yan flicked his finger, and a burst of thunder energy instantly melted away the ice energy.

"No need to hide. The Lu family is not an ordinary force. I believe that the Lu family has already found out that the drunkard is from Yezhou Death Row. They should know that I am behind this drama."

Gong Jue picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Gu Yan, saying softly

"Sir, can the Seventh Saint Lord tell what those array-casting materials are used for?"

Gu Yan picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying

"I see, that's the material used to cast the Spirit Hidden Array"

Hearing the three words "Lingyin Formation", Baihu asked in confusion

"What is the Lingyin Formation used for? The name sounds like a concealment formation."

Seeing that Baihu didn't know what the Lingyin Formation was, Gong Jue immediately explained

"The Lingyin Formation is the best concealment formation in the world today, but this type of formation can only conceal, which is quite useless, so not many people have heard of it."

The reason why Gong Jue knew this was because he was an elite demon slayer from the imperial capital, and his training was different from that of local demon slayers like Baihu.

Being in the core of the Qin Empire, people like Gong Jue and Xiang Kui shoulder the responsibility of protecting the Qin Empire, so they need to know something about formations, poisons, etc.

After knowing what the Lingyin Formation was, Baihu immediately figured out the key

"Could it be that Lu Mingsheng..."

Gu Yan nodded slightly and said

"That's right. Now we can be sure that Lu Mingsheng is refining corpses in secret, and the Seven Absolute Saint Lord also told me clearly that what Lu Mingsheng wants from refining corpses is longevity."

Hearing this, Bai Hu's expression gradually became more and more ugly. Lu Mingsheng was from Jiangnan County. During the years when he secretly refined corpses, countless people in Jiangnan County died in his hands.

Bai Hu temporarily manages Jiangnan County for Gu Yan, so he naturally has an unshirkable responsibility.

Gu Yan noticed Bai Hu's expression and chuckled.

"Bai Hu, you don't have to blame yourself for this. After all, Lu Mingsheng is a third-level expert. It's normal that you couldn't find him."

"By the way, Gong Jue, go to the Lu family and invite Lu Chuanyu over, and tell them that I have chartered a boat on the Canglan River to wait for him."

"Gong Jue takes the order!"

Gong Jue bowed to Gu Yan and slowly left the Demon Slaying Hall.

Bai Hu was somewhat puzzled by Gu Yan's order.

"Sir, I don't quite understand. Since the Lu family is secretly refining corpses, why did you invite Lu Chuanyu to a banquet?"

"The Lu family already knows that you are behind Nangong Shan. Even if you meet Lu Chuanyu, I'm afraid you won't get the answer you want."

Gu Yan stood up from the first seat, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked to the door of the hall.

Looking at the blue sky outside the palace, Gu Yan said softly

"I have known Lu Chuanyu since childhood. If it weren't for him, I would have died in Guangshui Village."

"In the final analysis, the Lu family and the Xiao family are not the same. The one who refined the corpse was Lu Mingsheng, and he has nothing to do with Lu Chuanyu and other younger generations of the Lu family."

"Although the Great Qin Law stipulates that refining corpses is a serious crime punishable by execution of the entire family, he saved me after all, so I want to give him a chance."

Gu Yan is not a person who does not remember the old friendship. As long as Lu Chuanyu is willing to personally admit that the corpse refining was done by Lu Mingsheng himself and had nothing to do with him, he would not know about it.

Then Gu Yan would let Lu Chuanyu off the hook and give him a fake identity, allowing him to live a carefree life for half his life.

Just like letting Xiao Li go back then...

Inside Lu Mansion

Lu Xingli walked quickly to the outside of Lu Ji'an's courtyard and looked at the tightly closed gate with a complicated expression.

After a while, Lu Ji'an's old voice came from deep in the courtyard.

"Li'er, why are you still not coming in when you reach the door?"

Lu Xingli took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to push open the gate, and strode in.

After arriving at the back of the courtyard, Lu Xingli bowed to Lu Ji'an who was trimming the flowers and plants, and said respectfully:

"Father, there is something I don't understand, please enlighten me."

Lu Ji'an, with gray hair and wrinkled face, glanced at Lu Xingli, then turned back to trimming the flowers and plants and said:

"You, as a powerful person in the Mountain Moving Realm, in charge of the huge Lu family, don't be like a sour scholar and make so many red tapes. You have brought Yu'er and Bei'er into such a state. Fortunately, the Lu family still has Qi'er, who is quite normal."

"By the way, how is Qi'er doing in prison? Hurry up and find Nangong Shan and ask him to release Qi'er. How can a member of the Lu family stay in prison forever?"

Lu Ji'an kept talking for a long time, but Lu Xingli didn't answer a word and just stood there quietly.

After talking for a long time, Lu Ji'an frowned and looked at Lu Xingli and said

"Are you dumb? Why aren't you talking?"
