Chapter 277
The city wall was heavily guarded, to the point where there was a post every three steps, and a sentry post every five steps. Those two people neither knew the invisibility technique nor were they true masters, so how could they slip into the city and assassinate the city lord?

Xiang Seng grabbed the guard leader just now, and asked sharply, "Did someone enter the city before?"

"No, absolutely not, the city lord has already explained that opening the city is not allowed during this period—"

The leader stopped suddenly and shouted in surprise: "Water wheel!"

"What waterwheel?" Xiang Seng asked hurriedly.

"Our city lord loves to drink tea, and we need to use water from Yuquan Mountain. Every morning, there are water trucks to transport water..."

"You bastard, what time is it, even his mother is poor!"

There is no doubt that those two people must have hid under the waterwheel and sneaked into the city.

Xiang Yan was so angry that he pushed the leader away, and asked Yuan Teng who was doing the autopsy, "When did he die?"

"Dead for about half an hour." Yuan Teng replied.

"Half an hour? They didn't go far, quickly search for their traces!" Xiang Seng ordered.

"Lord, I'm afraid it won't work, look at this—"

Hu Zhe stretched out his fingers to the ground, and the messy footprints had already covered up all traces.

Although they are experts in the Nether Realm, they are not the detectives of the Tiance Mansion of the Tang Dynasty after all. They are proficient in detectives, so how can they find the traces of the assassins.

"Apart from the waterwheel entering the city, have any city gates been opened again?" Xiang Ao asked the leader again.

"No, absolutely not!"

"Where's your commander? Let him seize the entire city immediately!"

The commander is the deputy of the city lord, who can take the place of the city lord.

"Yes, the villain will immediately notify Zhang Tong..."

The leader hadn't finished speaking when a person suddenly stumbled in and shouted, "Commander Zhang is dead!"

"Where is it?" Xiang Seng asked hurriedly.

"at home!"

"Take me there quickly!"

A group of people immediately rushed to Zhang Tongling's house, but saw Zhang Tongling's family members crying around his body, and there was also a number written on the wall - 39!

Seeing the messy footprints on the ground, Xiang Seng knew that he couldn't track them down, so he said to the leader just now: "Give me an order, Ruyijing will come to see me as soon as possible, and the surrounding walls will be strengthened, and the city gates will not be opened!"

Although he is not the lord of the Western Regions, it is normal for the city to respect him and give orders.

"Yes!"

The leader left in a hurry, while Xiang Seng and others went to examine Commander Zhang's body, and found that his death time was not far from that of the city lord.

Soon, all the Ruyi realm and above in the city rushed over, but there were only two enlightened realm experts.

"Aren't there eight Enlightenment Stages in your Ash Mountain City? Why didn't the others come?" Xiang Yan asked angrily.

"The others are still being notified and will arrive soon, Lord Xiang Yu please wait a moment." A strong enlightened state said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the head of the guard running in, and said in a startled voice: "Master Xiang Yu, the other adults are all dead."

Xiang Yan's face changed, he didn't expect that out of the eight enlightened masters in this city, six of them died without anyone noticing.

"Immediately send my order, Dasuo the whole city! Make sure to catch those two assassins!" Xiang Seng roared angrily.

Xiang Seng was sitting in the city lord's mansion, and all six chief and deputy hall masters under him were sent out to participate in the search.

Before they left, Xiang Seng also specifically warned: "Remember, if you find anything, immediately warn the police, and don't force the enemy. If others find the alarm, rush to it immediately!"

The enemy was so elusive that even Xiang hated himself, so he didn't have the confidence to win, so he could only use the more to win the less.

Everyone dispersed under orders, leaving only Xiang Yan, who was still thinking about those two damned assassins in his mind, and didn't even have the heart to drink the tea on the table.

Time passed slowly, half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and there was still no news.

Xiang Yan became more and more irritable, but when he picked up the teacup, he found that the tea was already cold, so he called out, "Come here, serve the tea!"

"Yes!"

Someone from the hall responded, and not long after, a servant came in with a teapot, followed by a maid holding a tea tray behind him.

"Stop." Xiang Seng said.

"I have seen the master of the domain, and the master of the domain has been waiting for a long time."

The two stopped, the guard saluted respectfully, and the maid gave a slight blessing.

Xiang Seng looked at the two of them carefully, the guards were only in the Void Transformation Realm, and the maid was an ordinary person, so he waved his hand and said, "Change the tea."

"Yes."

The two came over to change the tea for Xiang Ao,
"Is there no news from the city yet?" Xiang Seng asked.

The guard replied: "Return to the domain owner, there is no news yet. Xiaoxue, pour tea for the domain owner. This is the best tea in the house. It is brewed with Yuquan mountain water. Please taste the domain owner."

After the maid poured out the tea, Xiang Ao brought it over and took a sip, and said, "The tea is good tea, but you lost your life just to drink a sip of tea. Your city lord's death is not worth it."

"What the domain owner said is that it's really not worth dying for a sip of tea," the guard said.

Seeing that he dared to go along with his words, Xiang Yan couldn't help laughing and said: "You still dare to mock your city lord, aren't you afraid that his family will trouble you?"

"They won't know." The guard said.

"Oh? You're so convinced that I won't tell them?"

"Of course, because dead people can't talk."

Xiang Seng was startled when he heard the words, and immediately understood the identities of these two people.

But before he raised his hand, the maid's jade hand suddenly stuck out, and pressed it on his heart first.

Seeing Xiang Yan slumped in the chair, the maid withdrew her hand, took out a clean white handkerchief, wiped her hands lightly, and said, "Young Master Lu, don't you think there is too much nonsense?"

That's right, these two people are Lu Jun and Xue Qianji.

"No way, this is the only way to catch everyone by surprise. If I startle other people, my three-legged cat kung fu has no place to run." Lu Jun laughed.

There are still six secluded experts in the city, maybe they can't beat Xue Qianji together, but Lu Jun doesn't have that ability, so he has to be careful.

"I'll solve the others, you wait here."

After Xue Qianji finished speaking, she stepped out of the room with a flash, and disappeared soon after.

"Being despised again, that's okay, save me trouble."

Lu Jun laughed at himself, straightened Xiang Ao's body, looked like he was resting with his eyes closed, and left alone.

Most of the guards of the city lord's mansion went out to hunt them down, while others were in the backyard, taking care of the funeral with the city lord's family. When Lu Jun went to the watchtower, no one came to ask.

In addition to the city wall, this is the highest place in the city, from which you can overlook the whole city.

Usually no one is guarding here, but now the whole city is searching and arresting, there are two Ruyijing masters on the tower, watching from above.

Seeing Lu Jun coming up, one of the Ruyijing masters frowned and asked, "Who told you to come up, what's the matter?"

"Master Xiang Yu has an order. He is too lonely by himself. I want you to accompany him on the road to hell."
