171: The Luo family is on fire! The Lu family of the eight major families!

Thinking of the consequences of mission failure, the four men suddenly quickened their pace, chasing after Lu Xuan.

However, just as they were about to catch up to Lu Xuan, who had slowed down,

a transparent and invisible Gale Force streaked through the Void Realm, heading straight for their faces.

The four mysterious Martial Artists chasing Lu Xuan had no time to dodge.

They collided directly with the invisible, transparent Gale Force with their Physical Bodies.

Bang!

Facing this powerful force, the four Martial Artists were struck as if by a terrifying blow.

Their four bodies were thrown straight backward, knocking over several innocent passersby along the way.

"Who the hell are you? You dare to hit me!"

"These four bastards, how are they walking!"

"Ouch!"

"I knew something was off with these four; they've been sneaking around the whole time."

Facing the curses of these unlucky passersby, the four Martial Artists lying on the ground offered no rebuttal.

Because they had all fainted.

Lu Xuan, sensing that no one was tracking him, sped up and then left Qingling Prefecture Fu City without any further stops.

"What happened to Luo Mansion?"

"That direction is the Luo Family's residence!"

"It looks like the Luo Family is on fire!"

"Quick, someone!"

As the fire continued to spread, the anomaly at Luo Mansion also attracted the attention of passersby.

Before these passersby could watch for long, many figures appeared behind them, about a hundred Yamen Runners in government uniforms.

Among them, at the very front of these Yamen Runners, were three men.

The middle-aged man on the far right, about forty or fifty years old, shouted at the crowd of onlookers.

"Move aside, move aside, don't block here."

"The government is handling a case; all idlers, disperse!"

Upon seeing the man who spoke, the onlookers immediately cleared a path.

Because the man who spoke was precisely the Chief Constable of Qingling Prefecture's Yamen.

And the two men beside the Chief Constable were the Prefect of Qingling Prefecture and the Tongzhi of Qingling Prefecture, respectively!

The man standing in the very middle was the Prefect of Qingling Prefecture.

However, at this moment, he was looking with complex eyes at the mansion in front, which was engulfed in raging flames.

"Something really happened to the Luo Family!"

"This has really become a big mess!"

"Who on earth had the audacity to do this? This is a capital offense, tantamount to rebellion!"

Earlier, some servants of the Luo Family ran to the Yamen to report the incident.

They said that something had happened to the Luo Family, and that Luo Family guard Wu Hui had led a rebellion, killing all of the Luo Family's Bloodline.

Facing these utterly absurd statements, the Yamen simply didn't believe them.

They even thought these people were impersonating Luo Family servants, causing trouble, and making fun of them.

So, they detained all those who claimed to be Luo Family servants.

It wasn't until some time later, when many more people came claiming that something had happened to the Luo Family, that the Yamen realized it was true.

Something had happened to the Luo Family!

The Chief Constable of the Yamen, standing aside, also spoke at this moment.

"Prefect, the surviving Luo Family members said it was done by someone named Wu Hui."

"That Wu Hui is one of the Luo Family's guard captains, and he seems to be a Blood Refinement Realm Martial Artist."

"However, in my humble opinion, it was definitely not done by Wu Hui; the real culprit should be someone else."

"Alright, I have already made a decision regarding the Luo Family's matter. You two go extinguish the fire at the Luo Family first."

"I am now going to personally inform the State Governor!"

"Also, immediately send people to seal the city gates; no one is allowed to enter or exit!"

The Luo Family has become like this; presumably, the Luo Family Head, Inspector Luo Jin, has already died within it.

Inspector Luo Jin, as the Inspector of An Prefecture and Prince An's Martial Dao mentor, actually died!

This huge matter even made the Prefect of Qingling Prefecture tremble involuntarily.

The best course of action now is to first find the State Governor; only he can resolve this matter.

An Princes Mansion!

Three men on fast horses dismounted in one fluid motion upon arriving at the An Princes Mansion gate and walked directly into the An Princes Mansion.

The guards stationed at the An Princes Mansion gate offered no resistance upon seeing the waist tokens in the hands of the three men.

In a quiet courtyard within the An Princes Mansion.

Inside the main house, facing Prince An Xia Mingqing, sat a man around seventy years old.

The man was dressed in a gray robe, his entire body tightly wrapped, and his face was half-covered, making it impossible to see his true appearance.

Of course, Prince An Xia Mingqing naturally knew the identity of the man before him.

He was the Xuan Niao Guard Mystic Envoy of Qingling Prefecture, Lü Haodong!

"Your Highness, I heard something happened in Ming Prefecture; the Netherworld White Lotus Sect those fellows have appeared again."

"Those demonic people, without the threat of the Jiantian Division, have completely lost control."

"According to the information I received, several counties and one Fu City have been blood-sacrificed by them."

"The Blackbird Guard of one Fu City has already been completely annihilated by the Netherworld White Lotus Sect."

"Tian Du, upon receiving this news, sent two Earth Envoys to personally go there."

Lü Haodong's tone was calm, seemingly devoid of any emotion regarding the Netherworld White Lotus Sect's heinous actions.

"Ming Prefecture, huh?"

"Hmph, those useless members of the Netherworld White Lotus Sect, after hiding for so long, still dare to show themselves."

Upon learning it was the Netherworld White Lotus Sect, Prince An Xia Mingqing's eyes flashed with disdain.

They were just a bunch of rats, they couldn't stir up trouble!

"However, the appearance of those useless Netherworld White Lotus Sect members at this time can still cause some trouble for that woman."

"Hehehe!"

"Stir it up, stir it up, mess up the Great Xia Dynasty's heavens, and then I can take advantage of the situation!"

"What's a few commoners dying? As long as it allows me to ascend to the throne, everything is worth it."

Seeing this, Lü Haodong quickly echoed Prince An Xia Mingqing, flattering him.

"Your Highness is wise; I also think so."

"Oh, right, Your Highness, there's one more thing. A letter came from the Family."

"It is said that the strength of that one has already dwindled to less than one-tenth, making this our best opportunity."

"As long as Your Highness breaks through to the God Palace Realm, our Lü Family will fully assist Your Highness!"

The 'that one' in Lü Haodong's mouth was naturally the current Great Xia Emperor, Xia Mingyue.

"God Palace Realm, huh?"

"Soon, at most another year, I will be able to break through to this Realm."

"When I achieve my great ambition, I will definitely not mistreat your Lü Family."

Lü Haodong maintained a humble posture, showing no hint of the Xuan Niao Guard Mystic Envoy's demeanor.

"Then, I, this old man, will congratulate Your Highness in advance."

Xia Mingqing was quite pleased with Lü Haodong's performance and nodded with satisfaction.

"Mm!"

Although Lü Haodong before him was a Martial Artist at Inner Energy Perfection, in front of him, he was still like an ant.

Lü Haodong was qualified to appear in this house entirely because he was a member of the Lü Family, one of the Eight Great Families.
