Between the threat of death and his pride, Luo Wu decisively chose his life.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Luo Wu, who had been insufferably arrogant just a moment ago, hugged himself into a ball and disappeared from everyone's sight in a mellow manner.
"Hahaha … this is hilarious!
County Chief Lin, you're really something! "
"That's right, that's so satisfying. After this incident, Guang 'an Prefecture's pride will be completely destroyed."
"Who asked Guang 'an Prefecture to bully us? Now that we have County Chief Lin, we're not afraid of them."
"Look, isn't this person the messenger of Guang 'an Prefecture?
Why is he rolling on the ground for no reason? "
…
Seeing Luo Wu rolling on the ground in humiliation, the guards of the County Chief's Residence cheered. On the other hand, the commoners, who were unaware of the situation, were very curious. They surrounded Luo Wu and discussed among themselves.
Hearing the commoners' discussion, Luo Wu bit his lower lip so hard that he almost bit through it. Blood flowed out continuously, but he did not care.
Compared to the shame and humiliation he had suffered, this little bit of pain was nothing!
When he returned to Guang 'an Prefecture, he would definitely report this to the County Chief and make the entire Jiangchu Prefecture pay for what they had done today!
Seeing Luo Wu in such a sorry state, Chu Tiannan was delighted but also worried. "Young Lin, I'm afraid Qiu 'an will not let this matter rest after humiliating Luo Wu today!"
"Oh?"
Lin Xiao raised his brows when he heard that.
First, Guang 'an Prefecture Chief Qiu' an poisoned Chu Tiannan. Now, he sent someone to provoke Chu Tiannan. Was he going to let this matter rest?
A faint smile appeared on Lin Xiao's face. His eyes were filled with murderous intent. "The Guang 'an Prefecture Chief put you in this state. Don't you want to take revenge?"
"You mean … you want to take action against Guang 'an Prefecture?"
Chu Tiannan reacted quickly. His eyes shone with excitement.
Not only did Qiu 'an frame him in front of the Third Prince, but he also secretly poisoned him. If Lin Xiao had not refined the earth-level antidote, he would have been dead by now!
How could he not want revenge!
However, the former Jiangchu Prefecture was much weaker than Guang 'an Prefecture. Even if he wanted to take revenge, he could not implicate the people of Jiangchu Prefecture.
But things were different now.
Among Lin Xiao's subordinates, Yang Jian and Juling Shen, one was at Level 6 of the Form Synthesis Realm, while the other was at Level 6 of the Tribulation Passing Realm. It would be a piece of cake for them to deal with Guang 'an County!
With that in mind, Chu Tiannan couldn't help but ask, "What do you plan to do?"
"Of course I'll kill him, once and for all."
Lin Xiao's eyes carried the decisiveness of a superior as he calmly replied.
"No!"
Chu Tiannan immediately objected with a frown.
Although he wanted Qiu 'an dead more than Lin Xiao, he was an official of the imperial court. If Lin Xiao casually killed him, it would offend the imperial city. When that happened, even Juling Shen would not be able to stop it!
Lin Xiao curled his lips and said with a smile, "I understand your concerns. However, Luo Wu has suffered such humiliation here. When he returns to Guang 'an Prefecture, he will definitely persuade the Guang' an Prefecture Governor to take action against us. When that happens, won't it be perfectly justifiable for us to take action?"
"But … will anyone believe us if we don't have any evidence?"
When Chu Tiannan heard this, he muttered to himself for a moment before asking worriedly.
After all, he had been framed by Qiu 'an at the Third Prince's wedding banquet. He had already offended the Third Prince and his connections in the imperial city were almost cut off. If something happened now, no one would stand on his side.
"I don't need evidence and I don't need anyone to believe me!"
Lin Xiao placed his hands behind his back and exuded a domineering aura. He said confidently, "Beiwu Kingdom has always respected the strong. As long as we kill Qiu 'an, no one will speak up for the dead.
Our so-called justification is just to make the Imperial Family not look too bad. "
This …
Chu Tiannan was stunned when he heard Lin Xiao's words.
This reminded him of the Third Prince's wedding banquet. Even if Qiu 'an's evidence was questionable, who would doubt him in the face of absolute power?
Lin Xiao was right. Power was everything!
Chu Tiannan seemed to have made up his mind. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "You're right!
We'll do as you say. It's time to settle the score between us and Guang 'an Prefecture! "
…
As Lin Xiao expected, Luo Wu returned to Guang 'an Prefecture and told the Prefecture Governor of Guang' an Prefecture, Qiu 'an, about the humiliation he had suffered in Jiangchu Prefecture.
Qiu 'an was furious when he heard this. He immediately sent out an army to attack Jiangchu Prefecture.
The army was led by Luo Wu and a few Conjoint Body Realm experts from Guang 'an Prefecture. They swore to show Jiangchu Prefecture the power of Guang' an Prefecture.
After sending out the army, Qiu 'an continued drinking and enjoying himself in the Prefecture Governor's Mansion while waiting for the news of victory.
"My Lord, have another drink!"
A coquettish dancer leaned into Qiu 'an's arms and held a wine glass in her hand. She looked at Qiu' an seductively. Qiu 'an had just put his mouth close to the wine glass when he suddenly felt a terrifying aura.
Bang!
The dancer's hands trembled under this terrifying aura. The wine spilled all over Qiu 'an and the precious glass glass fell to the ground and shattered.
At the same time, there was the sound of something collapsing in front of the Prefecture Governor's Mansion.
Qiu An's expression changed drastically. He immediately pushed the dancers aside and hurried to the gate of the Prefectural Governor's Manor. He found his guards lying all over the ground, and the gate had been smashed by someone.
"Who … who are you?"
Qiu 'an was furious and frightened when he saw the two-meter-tall giant floating in the air. His tone was a little strange.
He had reached Level Seven of the Conjoint Body Realm and was considered a top expert outside the Imperial City. Even so, he could not see through the giant's cultivation level. It was obvious that the giant's cultivation level was higher than his.
If he guessed correctly, the giant's cultivation level had probably reached the Tribulation Realm!
However, why would an expert in the Tribulation Realm come to his County Governor's Mansion for no reason? And from the looks of it, she seemed to be here to cause trouble!
"I'm Juling Shen, a subordinate of Jiangcuo Prefecture's Governor, Lin Xiao!"
Juling Shen looked at Qiu 'an contemptuously. The Sky Shaking Hammer in his hand emitted a terrifying light. He did not explain and smashed it down on Qiu' an. At the same time, his voice was like a bell that exploded in the entire Guang 'an Prefecture. "I'm here on the orders of my Lord to take your worthless life!"
"You …"
Qiu 'an would never have thought that this Tribulation Realm expert was sent by Jiangcuo Prefecture!
Since when did Jiangcuo Prefecture have a Tribulation Realm expert? Why didn't he know about it?
However, now was not the time to think about this. The full strength of a Tribulation Realm expert was not something a Level Seven of the Conjoint Body Realm like him could withstand. He had to protect himself as soon as possible!
