"How...how did you know?"

  Zhou Hus face was filled with fear, he had indeed lied just now, and didnt want to implicate the City Masters Manor.

  Liu Wuxies words completely shattered his confidence, and he didnt expect to be used by Qi Enshi. Before he even mentioned borrowing money, Qi Enshi took the initiative to bring it up and helped him raise a sum of gold coins.

  "Its simple, Shi Po Jun rarely leaves the military camp, let alone come to this insignificant Canglang City. A small chiliarch like you has the qualifications to socialize with the master of a city? Obviously, you are lying, Qi En Shi has something on you, and he doesnt dare offend Shi Po Jun."

  "The only way is to borrow a knife to kill someone, lure you to Qiufeng Gorge, behead Xus family guard, and then use my father-in-laws hand to kill you. Even if the news of Shi Pojuns death leaks out, it has nothing to do with the City Masters Mansion, and the Xu family will be the culprit."

  The first two times were just robberies without killing anyone, with the intention of making the Xu family take it seriously.

  Step by step, the Xu familys arms workshop is not open for business, and Xu Yilin must be anxious, personally coming to escort him. At this time, the Wan and Tian families find him, willing to spend 10 million gold coins to ask Shi Pojun to take action, one ring after another.

  Zhou Hu and others killed Xus family guards, Xu Yilin appeared, and then killed Shi Pojun, what a perfect plan.

  Zi En Shi sat in the position of City Master, how could he bear to be coerced by others? Zhou Hus status was not as high as his, but with the title of Stone Broken Army Thousand Households General, he did not dare to confront him openly, so he had to rely on the Xu family and secretly manipulate everything.

  The backstage black hand that secretly manipulated and pushed the waves was actually the City Lords Manor.

  Although I didnt participate in person, after some analysis, its as if I was there in person. Every detail and the content of their conversations between them are almost 90% accurate.

  "What a Qian Shiyan, I treated you like a brother, but you actually framed me and used others to kill me. The despicable things you did back then, I covered up for you for over 20 years, never thought youd turn on me so ruthlessly."

  Zhou Hu instead hated that he couldnt get up to Liu Wu Xie, all of this was controlled by Qi En Shi inside, and he was also a victim.

  "What did Zhen Shi do back then, for you to have something to hold against him?"

  This handle might come in handy later on, it can be used to coerce the City Lords Manor, at a critical moment, stand on the side of the Xu family.

  At the mention of this, Zhou Hus face turned extremely ferocious, both eyes were blind, blood and water overflowed, and his appearance looked very frightening.

  "Twenty-five years ago, we went out on a mission together and passed through a small town where we happened to meet a beautiful woman. Who knew that Qien Shi was ruthless and cruel, after seeing this woman, his beastly nature was aroused, and he raped and killed her. In order to silence the people, he slaughtered all the residents of the town, a total of 10,000 people, disguising it as an attack by a monster."

  Mentioning this matter, Zhou Hu gnashed his teeth in hatred. Qi Enshi begged him for several days and was willing to take out a large amount of gold coins to shut Zhou Hus mouth.

  In the following years, from time to time, Zhen Shi would take out some gold coins and supply Zhou Hu to squander.

  Years have passed, and Qien Shi Tian has become a talented and powerful individual, growing from a small soldier to the master of a city. Zhou Hu knows that his status is not as high as his, and since so many years have passed since then, theres no need to bring up old matters.

  Recently in the Imperial City, he misappropriated the military expenses of Shi Po Jun, losing 10 million gold coins. These gold coins were used for military expenses, and if the hole was not filled up immediately, the consequences would be disastrous. He would be punished by military law and beheaded publicly.

  Finally thought of Zien Shi, he is the master of the city and must be rich, first ask him to borrow 10 million gold coins to block the hole, then think of other ways.

  "Just based on your one-sided words, even if you say it out loud, Zhen Shi can completely deny it to death, after all, so many years have passed, the body is gone, and theres no evidence."

  Liu Wuxie continued to ask, more than 20 years have passed, how many people in the small town can still remember what happened back then.

  "That year, I intentionally left a hearts eye, the towns archives, I stole a copy. This time when I came to Canglang City and mentioned the matter of the archives, Qien Shi began to disbelieve me. All information about the town was erased. When I took out the first copy of the archives, he was surprisingly calm, instead comforting me, helping to fill in the gaps that were missing. It turned out like this, he was using a borrowed knife to kill."

  Zhou Hus eyes were wide with anger, from start to finish, he was being played around by Qi Enshi.

  "Where is the scroll now?"

  Find the volume, equivalent to controlling the Zen stone, grasp his handle, and be honest and obedient afterwards.

  "Will you spare my life if I speak out?"

  Zhou Hus empty eyes, relying on intuition, stared at Liu Wuxie.

  "No!"

  The matter of beheading Shi Pojun must not be leaked out. This answer made Zhou Hu stunned for a moment, and then he revealed a wry smile. If it were someone else, they would probably do the same thing - cut the grass to eliminate future troubles.

  "I can tell you where the scroll is kept, but you must also agree to a condition of mine. If not, Ill bite my tongue and kill myself on the spot, and youll never get your hands on this scroll."

  Zhou Hus heart was filled with despair and his spirit was cold. In his current state, even if he were to be released, where could he go? He had lost his cultivation, was blind in both eyes, and was not even as good as a useless person.

  "Speak up, what conditions?"

  Qie Zhi has already left, and next involves too many secrets. He stands far away, replacing them with wind, lest it be leaked out.

  "Help me kill Zain Shi and avenge me."

  Zhou Hus face had bulging veins, all of this was Qi Enshi that despicable persons conspiracy.

  "I cant fully agree with you, but Ill try my best, can you understand what I mean?"

  Liu Wuxie didnt explicitly agree, but Zhou Hu wasnt foolish and could hear the implicit meaning in his words. The City Masters residence had already waded into this muddy water and wanted to pull out now, which was clearly impossible.

  Its inevitable that Ill have another battle with the Xu family, but who will live and who will die is still an unknown number.

  The crisis of the Xu familys Zi Jin mine has been lifted, which means that the plans of the Wan and Tian families have failed. Shi Pojuns life or death is unknown, and Qi Enshi must be on pins and needles, thinking of every possible way to figure out the reason and find the location of the hidden files mentioned by Zhou Hu, in order to destroy them.

  The breakthrough is still the Xu family, Shi Pojun mysteriously disappeared, only the Xu family knows the most clearly, Qi Enshi dare not come openly, secretly using all means to destroy the Xu family.

  "Your strength, placed in the Imperial City, is among the best. The Azure Dragon City will not be able to hold you back for long. I believe you can eliminate Qi Enshi. I have brought three volumes of scriptures, hidden in the Yue Lai Inns Dingzi Yard. After entering, under the tenth brick from the entrance, you can open it and see. The remaining scriptures are hidden in the courtyard of one of my concubines in the Imperial City."

  Zhou Hu told Liu Wuxie about the two hidden places of the rolled scriptures, and a hint of desolation appeared on his face.

  "Have a good trip!"

  The short sword was drawn from its scabbard, and Zhou Hus body gradually withered away. His physical body in the Washing Spirit Realm possessed a large amount of vital energy.

  Turned into a human skin, a storage bag fell to the ground, and a strong drumming came from the dantian, getting closer and closer to the Xiantian San Chong, just one step away.

  Leave the rest to Qi Zhi Shi, ensuring no signs of fighting are left at the scene.

  Fifteen guards were all gathered in one place, looking at Liu Wuxie with a face of reverence, and there was still a hint of fear deep in their eyes.

  "What happened today, I dont want you to leak out a single word. Let me know who spread it out, dont blame me for being ruthless and merciless."

  Liu Wuxies words fell, and a terrifying killing aura enveloped the sixteen people, including Qi Zhi in them.

  Just now, the scene of forcing Zhou Hu to ask questions was seen by everyone. The majestic Xianling realm could only last for five breaths. If used on them, one breath would be enough to kill.

  "Dont worry, uncle, we absolutely wont leak out a single word."

  Qiu Zeishou patted his chest and guaranteed that the fifteen guards collectively guaranteed that they would never reveal todays events.

  They are clearer than anyone in their hearts that killing Shi Pojun is a capital crime, and if it gets out, they will all lose their heads. Unless they are fools, they wont leak it out.

  The team continued on their way, leaving Qifeng Gorge behind, and were basically safe. They didnt encounter any other situations on the road, and after half a day, they saw the exit of Luori Mountain Range.

  "Brother-in-law, arent you coming back with us?"

  Qizhi asked, in another half day, you can return to Canglang City, why dont you go back, Young Master?

  "Im going to the mine, Wan and Tian families are coming with experts, they want to rob the Purple Gold Mine, you quickly transport the ore back to the Armory."

  Liu Wuxie finished speaking and plunged into the Luori Mountain Range, rushing towards the Zijin Mine as quickly as possible, hoping that no unexpected events would occur.

  Home!

  "Master Xu Yilin has not left Canglang City and is still guarding the Xu family, inspecting the five military equipment workshops every day."

  Scouts have been gathering around the Xu family for days, and they can see every move of the Xu family clearly. Xu Yilin goes out every morning and comes back at night.

  "Can they really bear to watch the closure of the Bīngqì Workshop?"

  Tian Qis face was gloomy, they had spent a lot of thought on this plan, the purpose was to lure Xu Yilin away from Canglang City, and with his help, destroy the Shi Po army, and then occupy the Xu family industry in Canglang City.

  "Master of the house, somethings wrong! Xu Jiaoyun has returned with ten carts of purple gold ore and has already entered the city!"

  A scout rushed in hastily, panting, and delivered the news at once.

  "Impossible, did they fail?" Taki muttered to himself: "You continue to observe the Xu familys every move, Ill go to the Wan family for a trip."

  Having finished speaking, he stood up and left the main hall, rushing straight to the Wan family residence.

  Words cut both ways!

  Liu Wuxie returned to Luori Mountain Range, riding his horse at full speed, and rushed straight to the Xu familys Zi Jin Mine, which was about a day and a half away.

  Dozens of masters who came to the Tian family had been wandering in the Luoshan Mountains for a whole day, and still couldnt find any news about Liu Wuxie, which made them shout angrily.

  This team has not only Tianjia masters but also Wanjiu masters.

  "Elder, where has this kid run off to? Weve almost searched the entire outskirts of the Setting Sun Mountains and cant find any trace of him."

  Tian Jias disciples lit a bonfire, set up camp, and searched for a whole day without any clues.

  "Dont worry, this kid wont get away."

  Tian Jialao walked into the camp, sat cross-legged and rested. The other disciples patrolled around to prevent being attacked by the mysterious beast.

  A black figure, quietly and stealthily approaching, with a hint of a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth.

  "You want to kill me? Youre still too tender."

  Yesterday when he came in, Liu Wuxie knew someone was following him. He pretended not to know and took care of the goods delivery first. Now its their turn.

  The bonfire crackled with a loud noise, and in the quiet night, it was particularly jarring.

  A patrolling monk was about to turn around when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.
