"Mr. Secretary, are you really going to let things develop to an irreversible point today?"

As he spoke, Li Tianlu's innate energy began to emanate.

This old guy is clearly a master warrior with the second level of innate cultivation.

Perhaps because he thought he was strong, Li Tianlu said coldly: "Mr. Secretary, the Za family knows that you are new here, so you don't know much about the rules of the imperial city."

"The Za family knows that you are a disciple of the Immortal Sect and have a distinguished status."

"But immortal cultivators are not allowed to attack ordinary people easily. This is also the rule set by the immortal sect."

"The Demon Slayer has broken the rules by interfering in mortal affairs today."

"Sir, if you continue to bully the weak, I think the Immortal Sect will not easily forgive you."

"And you may not know, sir, that even in this immortal sect, there are still many relatives and ancestors of my royal family."

"Among them, the Supreme Emperor we are waiting for is the elder of the Immortal Sect in the pill formation stage."

"Director, you should think more about today's matter."

Lu Yuan looked at him and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You...are threatening me, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding air seemed to solidify.

Not only Li Tianlu, but also Shang Yun and others on the side also felt the terrifying spiritual pressure emanating from Lu Yuan.

For Lu Yuan, who possesses the foundation-building spiritual roots of the Three Heavenly Ways.

Even if he only has the cultivation level of the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

But the spiritual pressure he exerted was comparable to that of a monk at the seventh level of Qi training.

Li Tianlu, a small innate second-level master warrior, was simply unable to resist this spiritual pressure.

Bang!

Under the heavy pressure, Li Tianlu immediately knelt down and smashed a large number of cracks into the ground under his feet.

Li Tianlu looked at Lu Yuan, his eyes full of fear.

Because at this time, he felt a very strong death threat.

This new director of the Demon Slayer Department actually really wants to kill him!!!

How dare he, how dare he attack an imperial city warrior in the imperial city? Isn't he afraid of being blamed by the sect for his difficulty!

In this regard, Lu Yuan said that not only did he dare, he even wished that the sect would blame him.

Because of his current status in Qingyun Sect.

If you kill an innate warrior who contradicts you in the mortal world, the most you can do is that the leader will be scolded for a few words and then put in solitary confinement.

But is this really punishment for Lu Yuan?

This is obviously a reward, right?

Therefore, Lu Yuan at this time was quite confident.

You don't even know his true situation, so you dare to threaten him.

This eunuch's courage...is a bit fat!

After controlling Li Tianlu with spiritual pressure, Lu Yuan came to him and said calmly: "I didn't expect that you, a eunuch, would have the courage to threaten me."

"It seems that the water in this imperial city is not as clean as imagined."

"I took him away. If you have any problems, ask the people behind you to come to the Demon Slayer Department to talk to me."

After speaking, Lu Yuan walked up to Xu Waner.

"stand up."

Xu Waner looked up at the stranger wearing a white mask in front of her and stood up tremblingly, not daring to disobey him at all.

But just when Lu Yuan was about to take her away, Li Tianlu spoke again.

"Wait a moment!"

Lu Yuan turned around and saw that Li Tianlu was using his innate energy to resist Lu Yuan's spiritual pressure with great difficulty.

He put his hands on the ground, a large amount of sweat fell from his forehead, and his arms trembled.

But even so, he looked at Xu Waner beside Lu Yuan, gritted his teeth and said: "Xu Waner, the Za family will make it clear to you today."

"If you dare not leave with us today, not to mention your father will not be buried peacefully, he will even be demoted to a lowly status by His Majesty's order, which will bring disaster to future generations."

"You decide for yourself whether you can bear such consequences."

Hearing this, Xu Waner felt as if she had been struck by lightning, as if she had lost her soul, and almost fell to the ground.

But fortunately, a pair of strong hands grabbed her waist first to prevent her from collapsing.

Xu Waner raised her head and found that the person hugging her was none other than Lu Yuan.

And through Lu Yuan's white mysterious mask, Xu Waner could see a pair of clear and calm eyes.

She didn't know why, but after seeing these eyes, her panicked heart immediately calmed down.

After Lu Yuan stabilized Xu Waner, he looked calmly at Li Tianlu, who was not far away, and the sixth prince Chen Wei, who was also nervous and his gums trembled next to him.

It was this glance that instantly made Li Tianlu so frightened that he opened his mouth and his pupils dilated.

Because he was horrified to find that his body... was burning!

"ah!!!"

With a scream, Li Tianlu's body was suddenly covered in a ball of blue flames and turned into ashes in a short period of time.

This sudden scene not to mention Chen Wei next to him was frightened.

Even Shang Yun and the other three were somewhat unexpected.

Their new director... doesn't seem to be as easy to get along with as expected.

In addition, their new director's cultivation seems to be a bit scary.

At least a few people didn't realize when Lu Yuan took action or how he managed to kill Li Tianlu in an instant.

You must know that Li Tianlu is not an ordinary person, but an innate master warrior.

It can only be said that the disciples from this big sect are different from the mud-legged ones like them, and their methods are very terrifying.

For Lu Yuan, burning Li Tianlu to death with Qing Yan Technique was like burning an ant to death, which was very insignificant.

He looked at Xu Waner, who was pale in his arms and had trembling eyelashes, and said with a chuckle: "Some people want you to kneel down, but I... insist on letting you stand up."

"Let's go, don't think what Master Shang Tian just said was a joke."

"Your father's death is not simple..."

After saying that, Lu Yuan let go of Xu Waner and walked towards the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Department.

Xu Waner was stunned for a moment, then followed timidly.

As for what Lu Yuan said just now, she only half-believed it.

In other words, she didn't believe that Lu Yuan's purpose of taking her away was really completely different from Chen Wei and others' purpose of taking her away.

But she didn't believe it, and she had no cultivation... so what could she do.

In this way, Lu Yuan and his party walked towards the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Department openly.

And no one dared to stop him along the way.

Even the Sixth Prince, who had been shouting just now, seemed to have become mute at this time and did not dare to say a word.

...

The Demon Slayer Headquarters, Lu Yuan's study.

For some unknown reason, after Lu Yuan brought Xu Waner back to the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Division.

Shang Yun and the other three quickly disappeared.

Several people have their own explanations for this.

Shang Yun said that he had official duties to do, and Shi Yuan said that he wanted to practice martial arts.

Only Tieniu was still standing stupidly in the study, as if he really wanted to investigate the cause of Xu Waner's father's death.

But fortunately, he was soon forced to go outside for sparring by the wise man Lion Ape.

As a result, Lu Yuan and Xu Waner were the only two people left in the room.

Faced with this situation, especially the person in the room who had just burned a living person to ashes.

If you want to say that Xu Waner is not scared or nervous, that would definitely be a lie.

She couldn't guarantee whether she would be burned to death by Lu Yuan for saying the wrong thing.

So she felt so anxious that she could only hold the corners of her clothes with both hands, sit on pins and needles on the chair in the room and lower her head, as if she was afraid that Lu Yuan would notice her.
