The eunuch was stunned for a moment, and then he became furious: "How dare you! How can the imperial edict be false! How dare you question the imperial edict, your crime will be increased!"
Lu Yuan sneered: "If I guess correctly, this imperial edict must have been forged by the city lord, right?"
When the city lord heard this, his face became even paler. He pointed at Lu Yuan and said tremblingly: "You...you are so bloody!"
Lu Yuan ignored him, turned to look at the eunuch, and said, "Father-in-law, you have been with this fatuous and incompetent city lord for a long time, and you must have picked up a lot of bad habits. How about this, you cooperate with me and expose this How about I protect you from the crime of the city lord?”
A trace of hesitation flashed in the eunuch's eyes. Although he was an imperial envoy sent by the emperor, in fact, he had been bribed by the city lord. This imperial edict was indeed forged by the city lord.
"You...what evidence do you have?" the eunuch asked tentatively.
Lu Yuan smiled slightly: "Of course there is evidence." He clapped his hands, and the women in the secret room slowly walked out under the leadership of several guards.
Seeing these women, the eunuch's expression changed drastically. He knew that he had made a wrong bet.
"Father-in-law, what else do you have to say now?" Lu Yuan looked at the eunuch with a half-smile.
The eunuch's face turned green and white for a while. Finally, he fell to his knees with a "pop" and cried: "Master Lu, spare your life! This slave is also forced to have no choice!"
Lu Yuan looked at him condescendingly and said lightly: "Do you know how to beg for mercy now? It's too late."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yuan flashed, appeared in front of the eunuch, and slapped his Tianling Cap with his palm.
The eunuch didn't even have time to utter a scream before he collapsed to the ground and died.
This scene scared the city lord out of his wits. He ran to Lu Yuan on the ground and kowtowed desperately to beg for mercy: "Master Lu, have mercy on me! Master Lu, have mercy on me! I am blind and can't see Mount Tai. I have offended Mr. Lu. I beg Mr. Lu." Don’t remember the villain’s fault, spare his life!”
Lu Yuan looked at him coldly, his eyes full of disgust. "Spare you? You have harmed so many innocent women. Do you think you deserve to live in this world?"
The city lord was so frightened that he trembled all over. He knew that he would definitely die. He raised his head, a trace of madness flashed in his eyes, and roared: "Lu Yuan, even if you kill me, you can't escape! The Emperor will not let you go!"
Lu Yuan sneered: "Your Majesty? Who is he?"
After saying that, Lu Yuan struck out with a palm, killing the city lord instantly.
After taking care of the city lord and eunuch, Lu Yuan turned to look at the women and said softly: "You are free."
When the women heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then burst into cheers. They knelt down in front of Lu Yuan and kowtowed in gratitude with tears in their eyes.
Lu Yuan helped them up and said, "You don't have to thank me, this is what I should do."
After settling these women, Lu Yuan left Tianfeng City. He knew that killing the city lord and the imperial envoy would definitely attract the attention of the court, but he didn't care.
He is inherently invincible, and there is nothing in this world that can scare him.
After leaving Tianfeng City, Lu Yuan headed west to the legendary Desert of Death.
It is said that there are many ancient secret treasures hidden in the Desert of Death. The purpose of Lu Yuan's trip is to find these secret treasures.
After entering the Desert of Death, Lu Yuan felt a hot breath coming towards his face. In the desert, the sun is blazing, the sky is full of yellow sand, and the temperature is extremely high. Ordinary people cannot survive here.
But to Lu Yuan, this temperature was nothing at all. He moved forward and soon reached the depths of the desert. At this moment, he suddenly felt a powerful aura approaching quickly...
The scorching wind picked up the sand and cut Lu Yuan's face like countless tiny blades. He narrowed his eyes and dispersed his consciousness. The powerful aura was getting closer and closer, with a ferocious aura that made him sneer. "It's interesting."
In the yellow sand sky, a huge figure gradually appeared. It was a huge sandworm, ten feet long, covered with hard scales and shining with a metallic luster. It opened its huge mouth, exposed its sharp teeth, let out a deafening roar, and pounced towards Lu Yuan.
"Beast, looking for death!" A trace of disdain flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes. He stood still and did not move. He just gently raised his right hand and grabbed the sandworm in the air.
An invisible force instantly imprisoned the sandworm in mid-air, and no matter how hard it struggled, it could not move at all.
"Something like an ant dares to be so presumptuous in front of me." Lu Yuan snorted coldly and suddenly closed his fingers.
"Bang!"
The huge body of the sandworm exploded instantly and turned into a ball of blood mist, which scattered all over the ground.
After easily getting rid of the sandworm, Lu Yuan continued to move forward. The Desert of Death is indeed a dangerous place. Not long after we entered it, we encountered such a powerful monster. However, to him, these are just a piece of cake.
After walking for about half a day, Lu Yuan came to an oasis. This oasis is small but full of life, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding desolate desert.
"Huh? Is there someone there?" Lu Yuan noticed that there was a human presence in the oasis. He flashed and appeared in the center of the oasis.
In the center of the oasis, there was a simple wooden house. In front of the wooden house, a woman in white was sitting, making tea.
The woman's appearance is stunning and her temperament is extraordinary. She is like a fairy descending from heaven, which makes people feel awe.
"Girl, excuse me." Lu Yuan said with his hands in hand.
The woman raised her head and saw Lu Yuan. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled slightly: "Young master has come from afar, please sit down."
Lu Yuan was not polite and walked to sit opposite the woman.
"Girl, why did you appear in this desert of death?" Lu Yuan asked.
The woman smiled and said, "The little girl's name is Bai Suzhen, and she is the guardian of this oasis."
"Guardian?" Lu Yuan was a little curious, "Is there anything else that needs to be protected in this oasis?"
Bai Suzhen sighed and said: "Young master, you don't know, but there is an ancient ferocious beast sealed under this oasis. The little girl has been guarding it here for generations to prevent this ferocious beast from breaking out and causing harm to the world."
"Ancient ferocious beast?" Lu Yuan became interested, "What ferocious beast is it?"
Bai Suzhen said solemnly: "It is an ancient ferocious beast named 'Taotie'. This Taotie is extremely ferocious and bloodthirsty. If it were to break out, the consequences would be disastrous."
"Taotie..." A glint flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes, "I would like to see it."
Bai Suzhen said quickly: "Master, you must not do it! This Taotie is so powerful that even a little girl is no match for it. If Master approaches rashly, his life may be in danger!"
Lu Yuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, girl, I have my own sense of discretion." (End of Chapter)
