97: Stormy weather

“You… what exactly do you want?”

One of the two men stepped forward and helped Lü Hongmeng up.

Liu Jiangyi said proudly, “Surrender, or… death!”

“Presumptuous!”

Lü Hongmeng raged, “Liu Jiangyi, do you really think that with a strong Cultivator by your side, you can control my Lü Family?”

“My Lü Family isn’t without connections!”

“Is that so?” Liu Jiangyi said playfully, “What if those connections knew that your Lü Family was actually a spy for Hantie City? Would they still help you then?”

“You… how did you know!?” Lü Hongmeng’s body trembled violently.

He instantly thought of something and glared at Lü Tie, “Lü Tie! You coward, you actually betrayed the entire Lü Family just to live?”

“Hmph! I betrayed the Lü Family?”

Lü Tie snorted coldly, “You, with no Cultivation, dare to point fingers at me, Lü Tie?”

With that, he stepped forward and actually slapped Lü Hongmeng across the face, sneering, “Lü Hongmeng, oh Lü Hongmeng, I never thought you’d have a day like this?”

“You dare hit me? Kill him!”

“I’d like to see who dares!”

Liu Jiangyi’s cold shout stopped the two men who were about to act.

“Do you two want to die?” Liu Jiangyi said coldly.

Earlier, he had forced Lü Tie to reveal the Lü Family’s secrets using the tsar bomba.

Now that he held the Lü Family’s secrets, and the Lü Family couldn’t kill him.

Then he naturally didn’t need to bring out the tsar bomba to scare them anymore.

The two men hesitated.

“Lü Tie, you are quite a sensible fellow.”

“From today onwards, you are the Family Head of the Middle City Lü Family.”

“I… can I really?” Lü Tie was overjoyed.

“Nonsense.”

Liu Jiangyi rolled his eyes, then looked at the other two men, “Hand over your essence blood, or… die!”

As he spoke, Ya Ya stood up in one step.

“What are you still standing around for?”

Lü Tie urged, “Now I am the Lü Family Head, and Director Liu still holds our Lü Family’s secret.”

“Even if you escape from here, as long as this secret is exposed, do you think you can live?”

“Obeying Director Liu is our Lü Family’s only way to survive!”

Finally, the two men still chickened out.

It wasn’t easy for them to Cultivate to this Realm, so they certainly didn’t want to die like this.

They bit their middle fingers, about to squeeze out their essence blood.

“Traitors! You traitors!”

“Lü Tie, you betrayed the Lü Family, may you die a horrible death! Die a horrible death!!!”

Lü Hongmeng was still howling.

“Noisy!”

Lü Tie snorted coldly, a sharp blade appeared in his hand, and it directly pierced through Lü Hongmeng’s chest!

Thump!

Lü Hongmeng fell heavily to the ground, clutching his bleeding chest, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He couldn’t believe that his own younger brother had actually killed him!

“Barking dog!”

Lü Tie kicked Lü Hongmeng’s corpse aside, put away his longsword, then bit his own middle finger, and together with the essence blood of the other two masters, handed it to Liu Jiangyi.

“This guy actually killed his own older brother? He deserves to die!”

Ya Ya’s sense of justice flared, and she was about to make a move.

“Don’t be impulsive!”

Liu Jiangyi quickly stopped Ya Ya.

Lü Tie’s actions were indeed inhumane, but he needed Lü Tie as a weapon now.

These spies lived every day in fear, everything was an act.

Their hearts were already twisted.

Therefore, even doing something like killing his own older brother.

Liu Jiangyi didn’t find it strange at all.

These people, by nature, had no bottom line, resorting to any means to survive.

Let alone an older brother, they might even be able to kill their own father!

Just now, Lü Hongmeng had punched and kicked Lü Tie as soon as he entered, completely like scolding a dog.

Therefore, if their roles were reversed.

Lü Hongmeng would also have killed Lü Tie without hesitation!

Liu Jiangyi took the essence blood, set up a Seal, and then had the three of them swallow it back.

Essence blood is heart blood.

After returning to the body, the essence blood would still return to the heart.

The Seal set by Liu Jiangyi would prevent this drop of essence blood from ever leaving their hearts again.

And with just a thought from him, this essence blood would explode, destroying their hearts.

The three of them would also die instantly!

With this method, Liu Jiangyi wouldn’t have to fear their betrayal.

After all, the Lü Family had many masters, connections in Upper City, and were also Chen Yuan’s people.

Liu Jiangyi absolutely dared not neglect the Lü Family.

And most importantly.

The utilization of the Lü Family might not be as simple as just in Tianjiang City.

Ya Ya would find out one day that Hanshan City was massacred by Chen Yuan.

Then she would definitely seek revenge.

Keeping the Lü Family might be of great use then.

…

Liu Jiangyi learned about the Lü Family’s secrets, and then had the Lü Family transfer all people in positions of real power in Lower City before leaving the Lü Family.

Director of the Law Enforcement Bureau’s mansion.

After Liu Jiangyi sent Ya Ya back, he left the mansion alone.

Liu Jiangyi had more or less established himself in Tianjiang City.

He now had the right to know some things.

After leaving the Law Enforcement Bureau, he went straight to the Demon Suppression Division in Lower City of Tianjiang City.

Liu Jiangyi had always had a few doubts in his heart about Tianjiang City.

The people of Tianjiang City lived within the Dimensional Trial Grounds.

So what were they considered?

Were they considered Dimensional Beings?

Where did they come from, and where were they going?

Were they native-born people here?

Besides that.

All official institutions in Tianjiang City, including the teleportation array he saw that day, were exactly the same as those in City 39.

Was this just a coincidence?

Or did the people of Tianjiang City know about the existence of City 39?

Liu Jiangyi searched for City 39 on his phone and computer, but found no related information.

Even the internal computers of the Law Enforcement Bureau had no records of City 39.

But Liu Jiangyi always felt that City 39 and here must have some connection!

And he was certain that as long as the coordinates were correct, the teleportation array here could definitely help Liu Jiangyi return to City 39!

His son was in City 39.

So Liu Jiangyi had a reason he had to go back.

Even if he was thriving in Tianjiang City.

But he couldn’t abandon his son.

…

Demon Suppression Division.

When Liu Jiangyi walked over, the guard actually came forward with a fawning expression.

“Director Liu, you’ve arrived.”

“You know me?” Liu Jiangyi was very surprised.

It was only his first day in office, and he had never been here before, how did this small guard recognize him?

“Our Director gave us your photo and said that if you came, we must respectfully invite you in.”

“No, to be precise, it was our Deputy Director.”

“Deputy Director? Where’s your Director?” Liu Jiangyi was puzzled.

“Our Director was transferred.”

“Is your Director’s surname Lü?”

“Yes.”

Liu Jiangyi suddenly understood.

No wonder this Deputy Director thought he might come.

There were no fools who could reach the position of Deputy Director.

It was clear that he had already linked the Director’s transfer to himself.

After all, Tianjiang City had undergone dramatic changes in one day.

But every single event was inextricably linked to Liu Jiangyi!
