Chapter 367

Lu Fu.

As one of the 'Ten Gate Valves', the Lu family's ancestral home is far away in Canglin City, Yue Province.

But as Lu Wenzheng became the Patrol Envoy of Feng Province, governing one side, the Lu family's focus had gradually shifted to Feng Province over the years.

This mansion of the Lu family in the provincial capital of Feng Province was bestowed by the Emperor and is a Hou Fu.

Because the Lu family's ancestor was enfeoffed as the Marquis of Changlin by the Taizu Emperor of the Great Lan Dynasty, hereditary and perpetual!

So as the head of the family, Lu Wenzheng is the contemporary Marquis of Changlin.

And besides him, the Marquis, the Lu family also has three Earls!

Lu Wenzheng's eldest brother, Lu Wengong, is a cabinet minister with excellent political achievements; the Lu family is currently working to get him an Earl title as well.

In this way, the Lu family will be one Marquis and four Earls.

This is the foundation of the Lu family, one of the Ten Gate Valves!

As a family that has existed longer than the Great Lan Dynasty, the Lu family naturally stands at the top of this world, looking down at the sentient beings at the foot of the mountain leisurely.

After Zhang Yan came out of Hongyi University, he walked all the way to the outside of the Lu Fu's main gate.

He looked up at this magnificent Hou Fu, his eyes calm, not knowing what he was thinking.

The guards guarding the Hou Fu's gate frowned as they looked at this young man; if it weren't for the fact that Zhang Yan was wearing the Hongyi University uniform, they would have started driving him away.

Zhang Yan stepped onto the steps and walked straight into the Hou Fu's main gate.

Having just beaten the Lu family's children, he was now breaking into the Lu Fu; this behavior looked like courting death no matter how you looked at it.

"Stop!"

The guard immediately stopped Zhang Yan, "What are you doing? Do you understand the rules?"

"I am a student at Hongyi University, and I want to see the Marquis of Changlin."

Zhang Yan said calmly.

"Ha?"

The guard was amused, "Even if you were a professor at Hongyi University, the Marquis is not someone you can see just because you want to. Go, go, go, go aside!"

Zhang Yan took a letter from his bosom: "I know the Marquis of Changlin is in the mansion right now; you just hand this letter to him, and he will naturally see me."

"Are you crazy, kid?!"

"I advise you to find someone in charge to ask first."

"..."

The guard looked at Zhang Yan's calm and composed appearance and took the letter in his hand with suspicion.

The envelope just had the sentence 'To be opened personally by the Marquis of Changlin' written on it, with no signature at all.

It really looked completely unreliable.

But this guard eventually took the envelope to find the steward.

Ten minutes later, the Lu Fu's head steward came out personally!

When the head steward saw Zhang Yan, he was stunned for a moment, then bowed respectfully and stepped aside, saying:

"Young Master, please come in."

Zhang Yan smiled.

He didn't expect that he would be called Young Master by the head steward of the Lu Fu in this lifetime.

Zhang Yan walked into the Lu Fu under the guidance of the head steward, passing through complex corridors and courtyards.

Passing by rockeries, passing by small bridges and flowing water.

Finally, he arrived outside a pavilion by the lake.

Lu Wenzheng was wearing loose light yellow clothes, sitting in the pavilion with a smile.

At the first sight of this unremarkable fat man, Zhang Yan, who had always been very calm, finally felt a bit nervous.

In his eyes, the person sitting in the pavilion was like a crouching tiger, coldly sizing him up, making one's back feel cold!

"Greetings, Marquis of Changlin."

Zhang Yan saluted under the pavilion.

Compared to the status of the head of the Lu Valve and the Patrol Envoy of Feng Province, the Marquis of Changlin was actually the most 'inconspicuous' status of Lu Wenzheng.

Lu Wenzheng smiled and picked up the letter Zhang Yan handed over: "Who sent you to deliver this?"

This letter had no signature, but it was accompanied by a surge of divine power!

This meant that a martial arts Grandmaster had specifically left his power on the letter.

This was the signature!

After the letter was sent up, it was detected by the experts of the Lu Fu, and after careful inspection to ensure there were no problems, it was sent to Lu Wenzheng's hands.

"New Heaven Society."

Zhang Yan said frankly.

"New Heaven Society?"

"Daring to call for the sun and moon to change to a new heaven! This is the New Heaven Society."

"Hehe."

Lu Wenzheng smiled.

Zhang Yan knew what Lu Wenzheng was laughing at, and he said indifferently:

"The matter in Lanling City was done by us."

Lu Wenzheng stopped smiling.

The matter in Lanling City?

There are too many things happening in Lanling City every day, and many of them are major events.

But combined with the New Heaven Society's declaration of 'daring to call for the sun and moon to change to a new heaven', the most likely event is—the Altar Assassination Case!

"Do you know what you are saying?"

Lu Wenzheng stared at the young man under the pavilion, like a fierce tiger looking at an ant.

Zhang Yan looked at him without fear: "The letter has been delivered, and the words have been spoken; my mission is complete. If the Marquis of Changlin does not intend to kill me, I will take my leave."

After speaking, he saluted Lu Wenzheng again and turned to leave.

Lu Wenzheng ignored this small character; he was looking at the letter on the table.

The content of this letter was what he really cared about.

After thinking for a long time, he called a subordinate:

"Go and ask when Grandmaster Xu is free? Invite him to the mansion for a chat."

Hongyi University, in an underground practice room.

Xu Jing stood in a swamp of mist.

All around was white mist, and beneath his feet was a black swamp.

Murky, cold, and profound.

It was not that there was a swamp in the practice room; this was Xu Jing's Martial Arts Domain.

Suddenly, this swamp boiled!

It was as if a massive monster was hiding beneath the swamp, about to rush out.

The mist began to flow, and a violent wind was generated, pulling the white mist into various shapes.

A majestic power surged beneath the swamp, and the space vibrated because of it!

Black water currents rushed into the sky, and the giant beast beneath the swamp broke through the surface, about to reveal its body.

But in the next second, the rushing water column shattered!

The black swamp returned to deathly silence.

Pfft—

Xu Jing, standing in the center, spat out a mouthful of blood!

This Grandmaster's face was pale, and his aura became weak.

He reluctantly withdrew his Martial Arts Domain with a look of unwillingness and stood silently in the practice room for a long time.

When he was breaking through the realm, he encountered a heart demon, which caused his breakthrough to almost fail.

Finally, he relied on the power swallowed by the Black Water Divine Ability to forcibly break through.

But this forcibly sought power was not stable; Xu Jing's Martial Arts Domain could not be maintained for a long time and was easier to be broken than others' Martial Arts Domains.

This made this newly promoted Grandmaster a joke, because such a state destined him to be unable to defeat any opponent of the same realm.

No matter how long he practiced, a Grandmaster who had just broken through could defeat him!

Xu Jing naturally couldn't accept such a result and had often been in seclusion since breaking through, always trying to solve the problem.

But obviously, he had failed again just now.

"Green-Faced Ghost..."

Xu Jing opened his eyes, and that figure appeared in his mind again.

When he was breaking through, the heart demon he encountered was the Blood-Faced Ghost who killed Wen Ke.

Or rather, the Green-Faced Ghost.

After trying for so long, Xu Jing had confirmed:

As long as the heart demon is not removed, he will have difficulty solving his problem!

In fact, since that day of breaking through, Xu Jing had been letting Lu Wenzheng find the whereabouts of the Green-Faced Ghost.

As long as he could confirm it, he could even take action personally to wipe the other party out!

But since the battle with Gu Yuefeng, the Green-Faced Ghost had no trace, and even inside Green-Faced Villa, he could not be found.

Suddenly, Xu Jing received a message from outside the practice room.

A flash of impatience crossed Xu Jing's eyes, but he still walked out of the practice room...

Under the night sky, Xu Jing walked into the Lu Fu.

A moment later, he met Lu Wenzheng in the study.

"Grandmaster Xu, please sit."

Lu Wenzheng smiled and welcomed Xu Jing to sit down.

"What's the urgent matter?"

Xu Jing got straight to the point.

Lu Wenzheng didn't talk nonsense and handed the letter Zhang Yan sent this afternoon directly to Xu Jing.

Xu Jing took the letter and was stunned: "Divine power?"

He opened the envelope and read the content on it.

When he saw a certain sentence in it, a monstrous killing intent surged from his body:

"Li Fei is the Green-Faced Ghost?!"

He looked up at Lu Wenzheng.

Lu Wenzheng was a bit surprised by Xu Jing's reaction, but still nodded calmly:

"Although it's hard to believe, it should be true."

"How is that possible?"

Xu Jing recalled the young man he had forcibly taken to challenge the Tiefeng Sect gate.

The other party realized his state of mind in front of him and broke through to the mid-stage of Qi Transformation, which absolutely could not be faked.

And at that time, the Green-Faced Ghost had already displayed the combat power of the Foundation Establishment stage!

There is a huge chasm between the Qi Transformation stage and the Foundation Establishment stage; even Hao Yi couldn't cross it back then.

Even someone as strong as the 'Peerless' Lin Tianyi had only killed a 2nd-tier combat power Foundation Establishment stage expert when he was at the peak of the Qi Transformation stage.

How could Li Fei possess Foundation Establishment stage combat power when he was in the mid-stage of Qi Transformation, and it was a Foundation Establishment stage combat power above the 4th tier?

So Xu Jing had never linked Li Fei with the Green-Faced Ghost.

Not only him, but others also thought the same way.

"This is perhaps the reason why he can become the first in history."

Lu Wenzheng on the side said.

"I need to confirm it one more time."

Xu Jing looked at the other party with cold eyes.

He wanted to confirm that Li Fei was the Green-Faced Ghost, and then think about how to kill the other party.

Even if the other party is now the Marquis of Jing'an and the Blue Patrol Special Envoy.

Nothing could stop his killing intent!
