Chapter 144: The one who leaked the news, seeking to sow discord?

Ji Qiongxiao's words made the originally excited Tuoba Yun.

His expression instantly sank, and the whole person fell into thought.

Beside them, the five- or six-year-old Ji Qingxiao also stared with wide eyes and said: "Yes, the Divine Son clearly said that this appearance should be low-key and not reveal his identity, so how did someone find out as soon as he arrived?"

Although she was young, after her sister finished speaking, she immediately thought of this problem as well.

Tuoba Yun, being simple-minded, didn't think about it at first.

But after being reminded, he immediately realized what it was.

As for Lu Zhangsheng, he smiled and looked at Ji Qiongxiao before him: "You're quite perceptive."

These three followers of mine, Tuoba Yun put it another way, are just simple-minded and strong-limbed.

Ji Qiongxiao, although her strength isn't particularly strong, her thinking is very meticulous, as shown this time.

He instantly knew what he was thinking; as for the youngest, Ji Qingxiao,

Lu Zhangsheng, however, didn't pay attention to it.

Too young.

Certainly, we can't expect anything from her.

"Knowing that few people besides the Divine Son leaving the Lu Family and coming to this North Sea are anyone other than the Lu Family entourage and us."

Saying this, Ji Qiongxiao furrowed her brows, feeling that the Lu Family would certainly not leak the Divine Son Lord's whereabouts.

Then it seems unlikely that even we three and Jin Hui Laolao could have done it.

"No need to think about it; it has nothing to do with you."

At this moment, Lu Zhangsheng spoke, his expression calm: "My whereabouts, while secret, are not unknown to everyone; the leak could have come from anywhere. Of course, anyone who could accurately determine that I would arrive at Lin Huang Ancient City today can basically be certain."

Upon hearing this, both Tuoba Yun and Ji Qiongxiao's eyes showed a hint of bewilderment.

Because they really couldn't guess who the meaning of his earlier words referred to.

Only Ji Qiongxiao, her expression slightly changing, said: "Could it be that you mean the news was leaked by someone from the Lu Family?"

If that's the case, then the matter becomes complicated, after all, that's the Lu Family.

Investigating that would probably turn the world upside down, so she now appears quite nervous.

However, Lu Zhangsheng still wore a smile and softly said: "It's not necessarily a leak; some things aren't that complicated."

"Or we could ask the Lin Huang Ancient City City Lord?" At this moment, Tuoba Yun thought of something and spoke up.

But this sentence made Ji Qiongxiao shake her head directly, then she said: "It's a bit difficult; the news the Lin Huang City Lord received..."

"It's definitely gathered from various sources, even from within the city beforehand."

"They already knew our and the Divine Son's whereabouts."

The meaning is simple.

Even if we asked that city lord, it wouldn't necessarily be accurate.

Because the other party isn't the first to have received the news; it may have passed through several hands, making it hard to trace.

Of course, if we were determined, we could still find it out; thus, after she finished speaking, Ji Qiongxiao's gaze once again fell on Lu Zhangsheng.

"Don't think too much, and don't do anything." Yet he, at this moment, looked at the few people and smiled, speaking softly.

"The person who leaked the news, if I haven't misjudged, will soon come forward on their own."

As his words fell, the three followers present all looked at each other, filled with doubt.

"Coming forward on their own would practically be an admission—how could that be possible?" "Divine Son."

And just at this moment,

Jin Hui Laolao also returned, her expression somewhat solemn: "I was just investigating outside and discovered that your arrival had already been spreading in this ancient city; I inquired a bit, but found the source of the news to be quite complex."

Since she came along, she also bears a certain responsibility to protect Lu Zhangsheng's safety.

Moreover, for her, if this ancestor were to truly encounter something, she fears she would suffer a great calamity, so no matter what,

Now Jin Hui Laolao must give her all in every aspect.

Beside her, Ji Qiongxiao heard this and furrowed her brows deeply.

She had anticipated this outcome, knowing that if they were to investigate, it would likely be even more difficult.

But she still didn't quite understand why the Divine Son would say that the person who leaked the news would come forward on their own.

Actually, Lu Zhangsheng is clear about the doubts in his followers' hearts, but he also did not offer an explanation.

He slowly raised his head, looking at Jin Hui Laolao and said: "Don't worry about all that; alright, Laolao, bring a few people to fetch some things, go thank the Yao City Lord, and say that I'm at a crucial stage in my cultivation, so it's inconvenient to visit in person."

Actually, Yao Dian, as the Changsheng Giant Head, holds an extraordinary position and has appeared in person to welcome.

Logically speaking, he indeed should pay a visit.

But as the Divine Son of the Ancient Wilderness Clan,

and Lu Zhangsheng is still pondering how the news of his training was leaked.

Therefore, he had Jin Hui Laolao and a few people set out first.

After all, there will be plenty of time later.

Meanwhile, Tuoba Yun and the others, upon hearing the instructions, immediately nodded, understanding what to do.

At the same time,

In another part of the city,

Wang Teng of the Immortal Wang Family sat upright in a high position.

His entire body continuously emitted an extremely strong aura.

Beams of Divine Light burst forth, and the power of qi and blood within him surged in layers.

This caused the hall he was in to continually tremble, as if it could not hold up much longer and would soon shatter completely.

This is the might of the Azure Heaven Dominant Body; even if not fully displayed, it is terrifying to the extreme.

And beneath this main hall, there is also a man whose entire body is hidden in a black robe.

Wang Teng looked at this person, a smile in his eyes: 'Over these years, you have worked hard; you did well this time as well. I expect you can plant a seed of doubt in Lu Zhangsheng's heart.'

'As a member of the Wang Family, this is what I should do.' The black-robed man spoke, very earnest.

'Hmm.' Upon hearing that, Wang Teng nodded, then narrowed his eyes and asked.

'However, has Lu Zhenxuan ever had doubts about this matter?'

Lu Zhenxuan, Celestial Son of the Fifth Lineage of the Lu Family.

Among the nine lineages of the entire Lu Family, among the younger generation, he also ranks among the foremost.

In terms of strength and talent alone, he even surpasses Lu Qilin and Lu Shen.

Back then, there were even rumors that he would be one of the most outstanding young figures of the Ancient Lu Family after Lu Wushang.

But now.

This person is also in Lin Huang Ancient City.

'Over these years I have become a follower of Lu Zhenxuan, long since gaining his trust; even if he suspects that the information came from me leaking it, he would certainly not say anything.'

The black-robed man spoke, his tone full of absolute confidence, because his disguise was very good.

'Not bad.' Upon hearing that, Wang Teng's lips curled into a smile.

'The Lu Family has recently produced too many Heavenly Prides; killing them one by one is too troublesome.'

'If we let them fight among themselves, start fighting each other, and then I go to reap the benefits, this matter would truly become interesting.'

Having said that, he looked down at the black-robed person: 'My words, have you remembered them?'
