The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 255
Chapter 255 A Secret Conversation
Back in the room, Li Qing and City Lord Su sat down. Su Jingxiang had just been frightened and had already returned to rest.
City Lord Su said, “After you entered the Misty Forest this time, Jing Xiang and I were really worried. We were afraid that something might happen to you inside.”
Li Qing nodded and said, “This trip is indeed extremely dangerous. I didn’t expect that there would be such a big secret hidden in the Misty Forest.”
“Not long after you entered, the ruins in the center of the forest appeared. I wonder if it has anything to do with you?”
“That’s right, there are some connections. To be exact, there are a few other people who opened the ruins. I just happened to be mixed in with them.”
City Lord Su’s heart trembled, “Oh? Did you really enter? How is the situation inside the ruins?”
Li Qing shook his head, “It’s not convenient for me to say more about the specifics. It can only be said that the harvest is very great. I’m the only one who came out alive from the ruins.”
“Only you came out alive?” City Lord Su seemed to have thought of something and asked cautiously, “Rumor has it that someone burned hundreds of Xiantian experts to death with a sun fire outside the ruins. Who is this person?”
Li Qing smiled faintly, “It’s better that you don’t know about this matter, so as to avoid leaking it out.”
City Lord Su was shocked. He felt that this matter must have something to do with Li Qing. Perhaps it was him who did it, because he was the only one in the ruins who came out alive. In fact, it had already indicated everything.
This was a big matter that pierced through the heavens. If it was leaked out, it would bring about a great disaster. He really didn’t dare to think too much about it.
He believed that Li Qing was a steady person with many trump cards. He must have dealt with the traces left behind, and no one had discovered any flaws. He shouldn’t have caused trouble here in Jiangyuan City, right?
He took a long breath and no longer dwelled on this matter. Instead, he asked, “If Cao Longfei really instigated the upper echelons of the Flying Frost Sect to deal with us after returning this time, then what should we do?”
The Flying Frost Sect was simply too powerful. Jiang Yuan City was as weak as an ant in front of such a powerful force. A random elder could destroy Jiangyuan City.
A cold light flashed in Li Qing’s eyes. The air seemed to have cooled down. He said indifferently, “This place has become so chaotic now. All the forces have come here. I’m afraid it won’t be so easy for a seriously injured person to return safely. If something unexpected happens on the road, he might die on the road.”
City Lord Su’s hand trembled. Hearing Li Qing’s words, how could he not understand the meaning behind it? It was clear that he didn’t want Cao Longfei and the others to return alive!
However, this kind of thing was too big. He felt a little uneasy in his heart. He couldn’t help but say, “Don’t be impulsive. If you kill Cao Longfei, it would be a big event that would pierce the heavens!”
Li Qing chuckled, “Me? Why me? If someone else killed Cao Longfei, then it can’t be blamed on me.”
City Lord Su frowned. Could it be that Li Qing had some means to silently kill Cao Longfei? Or did he have a friend who helped him kill people?
“But if Cao Longfei dies nearby, the Flying Frost Sect will inevitably suspect us.”
“As long as we provide an alibi.”
City Lord Su sighed, “Looks like you already have a plan in mind. Then I won’t say anything else. You can do it yourself.”
“Don’t worry, they definitely won’t suspect Jiang Yuan City.” Li Qing was very confident.
“I believe you!” City Lord Su nodded.
Li Qing smiled and said, “Alright, I will handle this matter. Don’t think too much about it. There is another matter that Baifu City actually dares to lure some Xiantian martial artists to Jiangyuan City to cause trouble. I’m really tired of living!”
“Previously, they had paid 20,000 spirit stones for reconciliation, but now they have done such a thing. No wonder we have to destroy them this time!” City Lord Su’s eyes flashed with a cold light.
“City Lord Baifu has already died in the center of the ruins. There are no experts guarding Baifu right now. We can have a battle.”
“What? City Lord Baifu is dead?” City Lord Su cried out.
“Not only City Lord Baifu, even the Lu Clan’s Clan Master died in the ruins! Even half of the Lu Clan’s Xiantian experts!” Li Qing said in a deep voice.
“So many people from the Lu Clan have also died!” City Lord Su was extremely shocked. There were too many things that had happened today, and he was somewhat dumbfounded.
“There is no doubt that Baifu City can be defeated. May I know if Xin’an City can also defeat him?” Li Qing asked.
City Lord Su smiled bitterly and shook his head, “Your idea is truly too bold! Although half of the Xiantian experts of the Lu Clan have died and their strength is greatly damaged, there are at least three Xiantian sixth layer old fellows guarding them! Their strength is not weak at all!”
Li Qing revealed an unfathomable smile. City Lord Su did not know that he was already stronger than an ordinary Xiantian sixth layer expert. There was no reason for him to be so worried.
However, there were a total of three people in the Lu Clan’s Xiantian Sixth Layer. Together, they weren’t weak, so Li Qing might not necessarily be able to kill them.
City Lord Su continued, “In fact, the Lu Clan is not the only big clan in Xin’an City. Its overall strength is very strong, and the forces inside are complex. Even if the Lu Clan loses more than half of its strength, we are still far from being a match for them.”
“Since that’s the case, then forget it. When you want to attack the Lu Clan, let me know. I won’t interfere with the rest of the matters.”
“Yes.”
Immediately after, Li Qing took out a large pile of weapons from his interspatial ring and placed them on the ground with a bang. He said, “Take these weapons and deal with them yourself.”
When City Lord Su saw the pile of weapons on the ground, he didn’t pay much attention at first. Then, he took a closer look and almost popped his eyes out. He stammered as he pointed at them, “How could there be so many top-grade real weapons?”
Li Qing said, “Most of these weapons were left behind by Xiantian experts of the Lu Clan after their death. I wonder if they will recognize them?”
City Lord Su took a long breath and wiped away his cold sweat. “This is fine. There are a few top-grade true artifacts inside that are very famous and will definitely be recognized. However, most of them have never been seen before. They are obviously newly taken from the Lu Clan’s treasury. Most of the people in the world have never seen them before, so the probability of recognizing them is very low.”
Li Qing nodded and said, “You can handle it yourself. Also, there are a few weapons inside. They used to be spirit weapons. However, they were too long ago, and now they have lost their spirituality. However, they are still more precious than ordinary top-grade true weapons. You and Jing Xiang can keep them for yourself.”
“Spirit artifact!” City Lord Su sucked in a breath of cold air again. The shock he received today was simply too great. He was so ups and downs that he almost couldn’t breathe.
Although these spirit artifacts had lost their spirituality, they were still much more powerful than ordinary weapons. If they were nurtured for a period of time, they might slowly recover their spirituality.
“These things are too precious. I can’t accept them.” City Lord Su said solemnly.
Li Qing admired City Lord Su’s character very much. This was also what he valued. He casually waved his hand and said, “Take it. These things are useless to me. Furthermore, I don’t lack money now, so I don’t need any rewards. However, in the future, I might ask you to gather some precious materials in return. I hope you don’t mind then.”
“Why would I mind! As long as you speak, I will do my best to help you!” City Lord Su solemnly promised.
Both of them were mutually beneficial. Generally speaking, Li Qing had brought much more benefits to the Su Clan. However, he was not a person who cared about each other. After all, the Su Clan had saved his life and had taken him in when he was in trouble.
They talked for a long time and studied many things thoroughly. Only then did Li Qing stand up and say, “Next, I want to go into seclusion for three days. I can’t let anyone disturb me!”
City Lord Su understood and knew what Li Qing was going to do. He nodded and said, “Alright! You can go into seclusion safely!”
