Seven-star Sword Master

Looking at the dark mass of rats in front of him, Lu Feipeng felt his scalp tingling.

"Use the insect repellent powder to pave a route out of the city and lure these rats out of the city."

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation in his life. He was directing the patrol guards when he heard a sound of breaking air.

He turned his head and found that it was Liu Xiangyang. He quickly saluted Liu Xiangyang and said:

"Master Liu."

Liu Xiangyang flew in the air at an extremely fast speed. When he arrived at the scene, he was almost at the same time as Lu Feipeng.

Little did he know that while he was on his way, someone was using this time to sow discord between him and his confidants.

But even if he knew, he wouldn't care. After all, he had already understood what kind of person Eunuch Xu was.

"How is Lord Lu doing?"

Lu Feipeng said solemnly:

“The rat swarm is too large. At this point they are still large enough that they will not actively hurt anyone unless you get close to them.

It is precisely because of this that I dare not rush to clean them up and can only guide them out. "

"Master Lu, you have done a great job. It would take a lot of effort for me to deal with such a large group of rats."

As he spoke, Liu Xiangyang looked ahead at the densely packed swarms of rats, his face solemn.

"Master Liu, I am mainly worried that if such a large group of rats leave the city and are transformed into demons, the consequences will be disastrous."

When Lu Feipeng thought about having to face the overwhelming swarm of demon rats, he felt a headache.

“That’s not a problem. There are countless demon rats in the wild, but nothing has happened in all these years, right?

At worst, we can arrange for people to go outside the city and clean up as many as we can after the rats leave the city."

When Lu Feipeng heard this, it made sense. After all, there were countless demonized beings in the wild, but hadn't they been living in peace all these years?

So he immediately arranged for people to stand by outside the city.

Liu Xiangyang stared at the rats with a serious expression and said:

"Instead of worrying about this, we should worry about why there is a large-scale migration of rats."

"Master Liu, do you have any doubts?"

In fact, ever since he learned about the large-scale migration of rats, Lu Feipeng has been thinking about this reason.

He knew about this problem in his previous life. If there was a large-scale migration of animals somewhere, then something big would definitely happen in that place.

Just like a duck knows first when the river water warms in spring, animals are born with keen perception in this regard and can predict impending dangers.

"I suspect that something big is going to happen in the city. The rats are migrating on a large scale because they sense the danger."

Lu Feipeng felt that Liu Xiangyang was right, but he still had some doubts in his heart:

"Master Liu, what other dangers could there be in the city? Even the Jindan-stage Xuan Mo that appeared in the city before failed to cause the rats to migrate. Could it be that the next danger is more dangerous than the previous Jindan-stage Xuan Mo?"

In fact, this is also what Liu Xiangyang is puzzled about. It is obvious that the Xuan Mo in the Jindan period before had not been able to cause such turmoil.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he gave up thinking about it. He just fought against the enemy with his own troops and blocked the water with earth. With his cultivation level at the Jindan stage, it should not be difficult for him to defend Ningtai Township.

Thinking of this, he said to Lu Feipeng:

"Lord Lu, I'll leave this to you. I still need to go back and discuss this matter with Eunuch Xu."

Lu Feipeng watched Liu Xiangyang leave. At this time, patrol guards were using insect repellent powder to pave a road out of the city. Lu Feipeng instructed Zhou Yiming who was standing beside him:

"Yiming, you stay here and watch. I'll go outside the city to deal with these rats. If anything unexpected happens, you send a signal flare and I'll be there in a moment."

At the city gate, Lu Feipeng stood on the top of the city wall, staring at the rats being led out of the city by two white lines. He looked at Wang Yushi who was standing beside him:

"Captain Wang, do you dare to rush into the rat swarm with me and fight it?"

"it is good!"

Wang Yushi, with his arms crossed across his chest, always spoke little.

"go!"

The next moment, two figures jumped down from the ten-foot-high city wall.

Once they landed, in order to avoid scaring the rats, they returned to the city and ran forward for a distance before stopping.

"kill!"

There were eight figures at the scene. They followed the rats and killed them for half an hour before giving up.

From the city gate all the way west, they cut a bloody path through the originally smooth road.

The road was littered with rat remains.

Just as Lu Feipeng and his men were surrounding and killing the rats, Liu Xiangyang returned to the Si Mansion and was discussing the migration of the rats with Eunuch Xu.

“We don’t know what caused the rat swarm’s unrest at the moment. We are already short-handed, and if something unexpected really happens, it will be difficult for us to handle it.

We suggest that you, Lord Liu, urge the higher-ups to have the new Pingbei envoy and the additional personnel from above take office as soon as possible."

There are only two Siping Envoys in the Inspection Office for this matter, Eunuch Xu and Liu Xiangyang. Although Lu Feipeng has also been promoted to the post of Pingnan Envoy, after all, his appointment has not yet come down, so he cannot truly perform the duties of Pingnan Envoy.

In other words, if something unexpected really happened in the city, they would definitely be the ones to take the blame, there was no doubt about that.

In Eunuch Xu's mind, it is better for four people to take the blame than for two people. After all, the responsibility will be less when there are more people.

Liu Xiangyang shook his head and said:

"I'm afraid this won't work. After all, the new envoy to Pingbei has already left yesterday. If we urge him to take up his post earlier today, I'm afraid the higher-ups won't pay any attention to us."

In fact, what Liu Xiangyang said made sense, but Eunuch Xu did not think so. He just said:

"Can you give it a try? Tell them about the large-scale migration of rats here and ask them to urge us to do something about it."

Liu Xiangyang stood up and walked out, while saying to Eunuch Xu:

"Ningtai Township is 100,000 kilometers away from Fanyang County. Even if we urge them, what can we do? Even if they speed up, they can't get here in a day or two!"

After Liu Xiangyang's figure completely disappeared from the study, only the angry voice of Eunuch Xu was heard from the room:

"Idiot, this Liu Xiangyang is really an idiot, so what if they can't make it?

If we report this news, even if something really happens, it will be because the people above didn't arrive in time. We won't be credited, but at least we won't be blamed, right?"

The more Eunuch Xu thought about it, the angrier he became. He continued to curse:

"Sooner or later, we will drive you away. When the time comes, we will personally serve as the Pingdong Envoy and govern the entire Ningtai Township!"

"No, if he doesn't report it, we have to report it. If something goes wrong, maybe we can turn it into a blessing in disguise and squeeze Liu Xiangyang out. Maybe the position of Pingdong Envoy will really be his!"

After saying this, Eunuch Xu lowered his head and walked towards his room. He stuck his head out of the door and looked out. Seeing that there was no one around, he closed the doors and windows.

He took out a communication talisman from his storage bag and placed it on his forehead, muttering:

"Brother Huang, how are you? I am Xiao Xuzi. Today, a large number of rats have migrated to Ningtai Township. The scale is so huge that I have never seen it before.

In order to prevent any unusual changes from happening in Ningtai Township, I would like to ask Brother Huang to help urge the newly appointed Pingbei Envoy of Ningtai Township to take office as soon as possible.

Also, after Liu Xiangyang broke through to the Jindan stage, he was stubborn and self-willed. When such a big thing happened, he did not even think of reporting it to Fanyang County first.

Such actions are simply treating the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the city as a joke. I hope Brother Huang will know this.

Next time when Xiao Xuzi goes to Fanyang County to report on his work, he will definitely thank Brother Huang for his kindness."

After he finished speaking, he flicked his fingers and the communication talisman instantly turned into ashes.

The moment the communication talisman was sent out, a smile appeared on Eunuch Xu's lips.

If any accident happens in Ningtai Township after this, he will not only be blameless, but will be credited instead.

In addition, he took the opportunity to report Liu Xiangyang, and the higher-ups would inevitably blame Liu Xiangyang.

Time had come to night. Due to the appearance of rats in the city during the day, in order to prevent similar incidents from happening again at night, the Patrol Department also specially arranged personnel to patrol back and forth in four directions of the city.

In a courtyard somewhere in the north of the city, Li Cunyi was receiving two envoys from Fanyang County.

Li Cunyi is the person in charge of the Death Hall in Ningtai Township and also Liu Yuansi's boss.

Ever since his last failed sneak attack on Lu Feipeng, he reported the news to his superior.

However, his superior was in Fanyang County. After the person in charge of the Death Hall of Fanyang County learned that such a genius had appeared in Ningtai Township, he immediately dispatched two cultivators of the ninth level of the Spirit Liquid Realm to deal with the matter.

"Brother Zhu, Brother Tian, ​​why are you bothering to come here in person?"

The Brother Zhu mentioned by Li Cunyi was named Zhu Li and the other one was named Tian Tong.

Zhu Li waved his hand and said:

"My Lord was very concerned when he received your message. If he hadn't been so busy, he would have come here in person."

Another Tian Tong said:

"Old Li, let's talk about the past when we have time. First, let's talk about the situation of Lu Feipeng, whom you reported earlier, and the current situation in Ningtai Township.

Why do I feel that Ningtai Township has an indescribable feeling since I came to the city? "

So then Li Cun Yi told the two people in front of him everything he had heard about Lu Feipeng.

Although the two had heard about Lu Feipeng's situation before, after hearing about it again, they were still amazed by this boy named Lu Feipeng!

"Besides, even if he is a genius, what does it matter? Now that we are here, even if his talent is monstrous, he can't escape death."

Zhu Li snorted with disdain. He had no idea how many geniuses like him he had killed over the years.

Can a genius who dies halfway be called a genius? Only a genius who grows up can be called a genius!

"Alas, what a pity! If we hadn't been enemies with him before, we could have easily pulled Lu Feipeng into our Death Palace."

Tian Tong felt a little regretful about this. He hadn't met such a talented young man for a long time.

"Okay, let's stop talking. Old Li, why don't you tell me about the current situation in Ningtai Township? This time when I came to the city, I always felt that Ningtai Township was a little strange."
