Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

"Thank you, Lord City Lord." Lu Yuan bowed, then took Bai Su and Lin Wan'er into Tianfeng City.

Looking at the backs of Lu Yuan and the other two, the city lord fell into deep thought.

"Lu Yuan... I seem to have heard this name somewhere..."

At this time, a soldier came over and whispered, "Lord City Lord, I heard that some time ago, there was news from the Imperial City that they were looking for a man named Lu Yuan..."

The city lord's heart moved. Could it be... that he is the Lu Yuan?

If that's the case, then it's troublesome...

The city lord narrowed his eyes, looking up and down at Lu Yuan like a shrewd fox. His mind was working rapidly, connecting the name "Lu Yuan" with the recent news from the imperial city. It is said that the current emperor is looking for a young genius named Lu Yuan, who has a peerless skill and can help the Wei Dynasty unify the world. Could it be... that this person in front of him is him?
"Mr. Lu, excuse me for being so presumptuous, but may I ask who your master is?" the city lord asked tentatively, his tone much more respectful than before.

Lu Yuan shrugged casually and said lightly: "I am just a free-spirited wanderer, so how can I have any master?" He would naturally not reveal his true identity. After all, being invincible for too long would be quite boring. It was also interesting to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger occasionally.

The city lord was even more suspicious. How could he be so strong at such a young age without the guidance of a famous teacher? But he was very shrewd. He remained calm and even more enthusiastic: "So that's how it is. Mr. Lu is really a strange man! Tianfeng City has been in turmoil recently. If Mr. Lu doesn't mind, you can stay in the city lord's mansion temporarily, so that I can show my hospitality."

Lu Yuan glanced at the city lord with a half-smile. He saw through the old fox's plan at a glance. However, he was worried about not being able to find fun, so he would go to the city lord's mansion. "Since the city lord has invited you so kindly, I will be disrespectful to refuse."

The city lord was overjoyed and immediately ordered his men to prepare a banquet to entertain Lu Yuan and the other two.

After three rounds of drinking, the city lord tried to inquire about Lu Yuan's background and purpose, but Lu Yuan just brushed it off lightly. The city lord was more and more certain that Lu Yuan was the person the emperor was looking for, and secretly thought about how to control Lu Yuan in his hands.

That night, Lu Yuan was lying in the guest room that the City Lord's Mansion had arranged for him, but he had no desire to sleep. His spiritual awareness spread out, covering the entire Tianfeng City, taking in everything in the city. Suddenly, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said to himself: "Interesting, it seems that this Tianfeng City is more interesting than I thought."

It turned out that Lu Yuan's divine sense had discovered that in the underground secret room of the City Lord's Mansion, there were many young and beautiful women imprisoned. They were ragged and haggard, and had obviously suffered inhuman torture. And the City Lord would sneak into the secret room every night and do some outrageous things.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that this city lord is such a beast in human clothing." Lu Yuan sneered in his heart and decided to have some fun with this city lord.

The next morning, Lu Yuan found the city lord and said straight to the point: "Lord City Lord, I observed the sky last night and found that Tianfeng City might have a bloody disaster in the near future."

The city lord was shocked. Did he discover something? But he pretended to be calm: "Mr. Lu, you are joking. Tianfeng City has always been peaceful. How could there be such a bloody disaster?"

Lu Yuan smiled mysteriously: "Lord City Lord, your house is full of filth and resentment. I'm afraid this bloody disaster is happening in your house."

The city lord's face changed drastically, and he tried to remain calm and said, "Mr. Lu, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! My city lord's mansion has always been aboveboard, how can it be said that we are harboring filth?"

Lu Yuan did not explain, but just smiled meaningfully: "Lord City Lord, if you don't believe me, you can come with me."

The city lord was nervous, but he didn't dare to refuse Lu Yuan, so he had to bite the bullet and follow Lu Yuan to the underground secret room in the city lord's mansion.

When the door of the secret room was opened, a foul smell hit the city lord's face, and his face turned pale instantly. In the secret room, dozens of women were imprisoned. They were half-dressed, skinny, and looked like zombies. When they saw Lu Yuan and the city lord, a glimmer of hope flashed in their eyes, but it quickly dimmed.

"Lord City Lord, how do you explain these people?" Lu Yuan looked at the City Lord with a smile.

The city lord was trembling all over. He pointed at the women and stammered, "They...they are all criminals. I...I locked them up here to...to punish them!"

"Criminal?" Lu Yuan sneered, "I think their biggest crime is that they are too beautiful, right?"

The city lord's face became even uglier. He knew that Lu Yuan saw through everything about him.

"You...what do you want?" the city lord asked in a timid tone.

Lu Yuan walked up to a woman and gently lifted her messy hair, revealing her face that was still beautiful even though it was battered. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and his tone was as cold as frost: "Lord City Lord, you play with their bodies and destroy their souls. Do you know that they are also human beings, they also have parents and families, and they also desire happiness?"

The city lord collapsed to the ground in fear, he knew that he was finished.

Lu Yuan slowly turned around and looked at the city lord, with a cruel smile on his face: "Lord City Lord, are you ready to pay the price?"

At this time, there was a commotion outside the City Lord's Mansion, and a shrill voice shouted, "The imperial edict has arrived! Lu Yuan, please accept it!"

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the fun was about to begin...

The city lord collapsed to the ground, like mud, his eyes full of fear. The women in the secret room also had a glimmer of hope in their originally numb eyes. They shrank, but could not help but secretly look at Lu Yuan, the man who came down like a god from heaven.

At this moment, the shrill voice outside the City Lord's Mansion sounded again: "The imperial edict has arrived! Lu Yuan, please accept it!"

Lu Yuan raised a playful smile and slowly walked out of the secret room and came to the outside of the City Lord's Mansion.

A eunuch in brocade clothes held the imperial edict in his hand and stood there arrogantly, followed by a team of fully armed soldiers. When he saw Lu Yuan coming out, the eunuch screamed, "Lu Yuan, kneel down and accept the edict!"

Lu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent, with no intention of kneeling down. "Read it."

The eunuch's face changed, and he cursed Lu Yuan in his heart for being bold, but he still had to read the imperial edict. He unfolded the imperial edict and read it loudly: "In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Today, the Lord of Tianfeng City has reported that Lu Yuan has no respect for the law and has harmed the people. His crimes are extremely serious! The imperial envoy is specially sent to investigate. Lu Yuan must surrender immediately and await his punishment! This is the order!"

After reading it, the eunuch handed the imperial edict to Lu Yuan and said in a sarcastic tone: "Lu Yuan, why don't you accept it?"

Lu Yuan didn't even look at the imperial edict, but just asked calmly: "Is this imperial edict true or false?" (End of this chapter)
