Dear Lingshi

"No, I think the people behind this may not be from the four major families. There must be someone else." Bai Yushu said uncertainly.

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Lu Yunsheng asked curiously.

"I used the Shape-Change Technique and Breath-Concealing Technique on the way between the two places. Logically, ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators should not be able to recognize me. How could the spies from the four major families find out my information?"

When Lu Yunsheng heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He felt as if he was falling into an abyss, and even the movements of his hands stopped.

Bai Yushu noticed Lu Yunsheng's abnormality and asked quickly, "Did you know something?"

Then, Lu Yunsheng told the story of how he was forced to hand over the secret recipe of brewing wine, and how he later failed in his attempt to use flowers to lure Jin Rong and Li Wan to set a trap for the four family heads.

Bai Yushu naturally understood when he heard it.

"No wonder, the city lord is actually behind all this, these people are really greedy!"

"Don't blame them for being greedy, it's just that our strength is too weak and we can only let them slaughter us." Lu Yunsheng sighed while grilling meat.

"Then why doesn't the city lord attack us directly?" Bai Yushu asked curiously.

"He is the lord of a city, he won't kill people so openly. I guess he is afraid of dirtying his hands if he kills us. Besides, he has a master from Qianji Academy behind him who gives him advice, so he can naturally kill people without being seen."

"Since the city lord's plan has failed this time, will he continue to attack you?" Bai Yushu asked worriedly.

"No! The city lord's plan has not failed. How many Jindan cultivators does the Cai family have?" Lu Yunsheng suddenly asked.

"Maybe four or five." Bai Yushu was a little uncertain.

Lu Yunsheng was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that any family in Xianyou City would have so many Jindan cultivators. However, he still said calmly: "Since there are so many, I guess the cultivators sent by the Cai family next time will definitely be in the Jindan stage. By then, the city lord probably won't help me, but will continue to kill people with borrowed knives."

"Then why don't you leave Tieshan City now." Bai Yushu said hurriedly.

"I can't leave. As soon as I leave, the city lord will probably use any means to attack me in advance. As long as I pretend that I know nothing now, I will be safe before the cultivators of the Cai family come."

"What if the Jindan cultivator from the Cai family comes? Aren't you in danger?" Bai Yushu asked worriedly.

"It's okay. I'll find a way when the time comes." Lu Yunsheng smiled slightly and said calmly.

In fact, he really couldn't think of a way to deal with the Jindan cultivator this time. Apart from a talisman, he had no other means. He could only pray that only one Jindan cultivator came, so that he would have a chance of winning. But even if he won, it would only delay time, after all, the Cai family had four or five Jindan cultivators.

Bai Yushu looked at Lu Yunsheng's forced smile and knew that he was trying to comfort her. She became even more worried.

"We have offended the Cai family this time. I wonder if my uncle in Xianyou City will be implicated?" Lu Yunsheng suddenly asked.

"No, as long as we are in the city, the Cai family won't dare to do anything."

Lu Yunsheng nodded after hearing this, and then pondered for a moment, and said to Bai Yushu: "In that case, tomorrow, no! Tonight, you and Uncle Hu take Xuan'er back to Xianyou City. Now the Cai family doesn't know that Cai Sheng and others died in Tieshan City. You should take this opportunity to return to the Bai family, which is the safest place."

As soon as Lu Yunsheng finished speaking, Bai Yushu said, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I'm telling you, I can't leave. At worst, the Cai family's Jindan cultivators will come and kill both of us. We'll die together."

Lu Yunsheng was touched when he heard this, but he also felt helpless.

"Okay! Miss Bai is right. I, an old man, will not leave either. At worst, I will fight with the Cai family!" Uncle Hu appeared behind the two of them at some point.

Hearing this, the two turned around and looked at Uncle Hu. Lu Yunsheng felt even more troubled when he heard Uncle Hu's words. He knew he couldn't beat these two people, so he had to give up.

At this time, in a room in the City Lord's Mansion, Jin Rong and Long Dong were sitting opposite each other. Jin Rong had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood.

"The city lord seems to be in a good mood. It seems that everything is going smoothly." Long Dong said with a smile as he picked up the teacup.

Jin Rong looked at Long Dong in front of him and laughed, "It went smoothly. It went too smoothly. It went so smoothly that it was beyond our expectations."

After saying this, Jin Rong stood up and bowed to him solemnly: "This matter is entirely dependent on your guidance, sir. If it weren't for you, I don't think I would be able to break through the Nascent Soul stage in this lifetime."

At this moment, Jin Rong had great respect for Long Dong, and was also glad that he had spent a great price to keep this person.

Seeing Jin Rong's great courtesy, Long Dong hurriedly stood up and helped him up, and said to him hastily: "Lord City Lord is the lord of the city and has a golden elixir body. You must not perform such a great courtesy to me."

Jin Rong was helped back to his seat, and continued to say with a smile: "Sir, you are a man of great talent, and you are certainly worthy of my respect."

Long Dong didn't want to continue the polite conversation, so he changed the subject and asked directly, "Lord City Lord, I wonder if Lu Yunsheng is dead?"

"Haha! He is not dead. Even I did not expect that Lu Yunsheng could survive under the hands of the five cultivators of the Cai family who were in the Perfect Foundation Establishment Stage, and he even killed four of them. What makes me even happier is that Lu Yunsheng actually has the upper hand in the fight with the four major families. Today, I also followed the instructions of the master and paid Lu Yunsheng the four soul beads of the four major families as compensation. This really saves me a lot of trouble!"

Hearing this, Long Dong narrowed his eyes and asked calmly, "Things are indeed going too smoothly. Now the city lord only needs to wait for the Cai family to kill this guy and then take back the soul pearl, and then the mission will be accomplished."

"Yes, Mr. Jin thanks you again, sir." Jin Rong bowed again excitedly.

Each family has one of these four soul beads, which are the treasures of the four major families. Legend has it that they can enhance the soul power of the cultivators. After Jin Rong accidentally learned about this treasure, he has been looking for an opportunity to get it.

However, the four major families are closely related and extremely united, so Jin Rong has never found a suitable opportunity to take action.

After Long Dong arrived, Jin Rong discovered that this man was extremely intelligent and wanted to use his strategy to obtain the four soul beads.

This is also the reason why he spent a huge price to keep Long Dong.

During this period, Jin Rong wanted to get rid of Lu Yunsheng again. After telling Long Dong about this purpose, Long Dong immediately came up with an idea and asked Jin Rong to go to Xianyou City in person to find out the information about Bai Yushu. He wanted to start with Bai Yushu and force Lu Yunsheng to submit. As a result, Jin Rong found out that Cai Sheng coveted Bai Yushu.
