Chapter 5614 Prevention

"The Lei family? There was indeed a Lei family in Beihai City."

"The Lei family was the beginning of the chaos in Beihai City. After all, they were the first to be wiped out by these bandit cultivators."

"When I learned the news, I immediately sent someone to investigate."

"As a result, the bodies of the people sent to investigate were found hanging at the city gate the next day. According to the monks on patrol, they did not notice anything unusual that night."

Having said this, Xiang Zhen's face couldn't help but twitch twice.

The Lei family has always been known for its philanthropy in Beihai City, and the head of the Lei family has been his friend for many years.

During the years when Xiang Zhen was in power in Beihai City, the Lei family provided him with considerable help.

However, the Lei family was wiped out overnight for unknown reasons. When Xiang Zhen heard the news, he flew into a rage.

As a result, that kind of thing happened the next day, which immediately made Xiang Zhen regain some rationality from his rage.

But before he could think carefully, news of the next family massacre arrived.

Xiang Zhen didn't think much about it at the time and sent people to investigate again.

As expected, the monk who went to investigate was killed and his body was thrown directly in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

Seeing this, Xiang Zhen completely understood that this was the person who was secretly causing trouble warning him not to meddle in other people's business.

For the sake of his own life, Xiang Zhen could only lower his head in humiliation and choose not to get involved in the tragic massacre in Beihai City.

Such behavior naturally made the people and monks in Beihai City increasingly frightened.

"Then it seems I'm not in the wrong place. This is it."

Zhang Yifeng nodded slightly. Seeing Xiang Zhen's expression when he talked about the Lei family, he knew that he had come to the right place.

This was where Lei Ao originally lived, and it was also the bandits here who slaughtered the entire Lei family.

"What do you mean by this, Fellow Daoist Zhang? Could it be that Fellow Daoist Zhang has known about the situation in Beihai City for a long time and intends to come here?"

Xiang Zhen looked at Zhang Yifeng blankly and asked in a deep voice.

"Well, on the way here..."

Zhang Yifeng spoke calmly and directly informed Xiang Zhen of Lei Ao's existence.

When I heard that on the day the Lei family was wiped out, one person actually escaped.

Even when it came to Lei Aoshi, the young master of the Lei family, Xiang Zhen's face suddenly flashed with surprise.

But then, the surprise on his face was replaced by excitement.

Zhang Yifeng, who was observing the expression on his face, trusted him even more after seeing this.

Directly revealing Lei Ao's existence to him was actually a small trick Zhang Yifeng used to test his true intentions.

The expression that instantly appeared on Xiang Zhen's face could not lie.

If Xiang Zhen heard that Lei Ao was beside him and showed panic or other expressions on his face at the first moment, Zhang Yifeng would definitely be a little wary of him.

But seeing Xiang Zhen's excited and more than surprised expression, Zhang Yifeng could be sure that he didn't know why Lei Ao was being hunted.

"It turns out that my nephew Lei Aoxian did not die at the hands of those guys. This is really a blessing!"

"I was originally worried that the Lei family had been doing good deeds throughout their lives, but now they have no descendants."

"Now it seems that there is no need to worry about this."

Xiang Zhen let out a long sigh and said with a look of relief.

"Well, it seems that Lord Xiang really has nothing to do with those rioters."

Zhang Yifeng nodded in response.

"This, is it possible that Fellow Daoist Zhang just suspected that I had some relationship with those people?"

When Xiang Zhen heard this, he looked at Zhang Yifeng as if he had just woken up from a dream, with an awkward look on his face.

"I'm sorry, Lord Xiang. Ultimately, there is no guarantee between you and me, so we have to test it more."

"But after what we just said, I can be sure that there is an 80% chance that City Lord Xiang has nothing to do with those people."

Zhang Yifeng explained to Xiang Zhen with a smile.

"Eighty percent..."

Hearing Zhang Yifeng's words, Xiang Zhen's mouth twitched slightly.

"Eighty percent is already very high. At least during this time in Beihai City, I will not doubt you, Lord Xiang."

Zhang Yifeng shrugged and replied.

Xiang Zhen frowned slightly for a while when he saw this, and then he stopped worrying about what Zhang Yifeng said.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang is right. There really isn't much security between us. I was just being too sentimental and getting tangled up in it."

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, why don't you tell me what we should do next to eradicate those bandit cultivators causing chaos in this city?"

Xiang Zhen adjusted his expression and asked in a serious tone.

"Oh, Lord Xiang, don't worry, I have already made some progress."

Zhang Yifeng chuckled, then raised his hand and a beam of light flew out.

The spiritual light turned into a light curtain in front of the two people, revealing a scene.

What was shown on the light curtain was the monks leaning against the wall at the gate of Beihai City.

Xiang Zhen naturally recognized his city and the monks under his command.

At this moment, seeing Zhang Yifeng calling up such a picture in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, what is this?"

He asked subconsciously, but Zhang Yifeng just motioned for him to continue reading.

Seeing this, Xiang Zhen had no choice but to stare quietly at the light screen in front of him.

This light curtain should be the perspective of a monk guarding the city gate. He suddenly stood up and walked towards the shadow beside the city gate.

Xiang Zhen's eyes narrowed upon seeing this. Through a curtain of light, he could clearly see a figure in the shadow that seemed to be ready to move.

After a little thought, Xiang Zhen could easily guess that this was probably the bandits in the city preparing to attack his subordinates who were guarding the city gate.

But why did these guys suddenly choose to take action, even though his lie that Zhang Yifeng was his distant cousin was easily exposed.

But it’s not to the point where it would irritate these guys and cause them to kill people first.

Just when Xiang Zhen was puzzled, the owner of the light curtain's perspective was already approaching the shadows step by step.

Judging from his appearance, he was clearly bewitched by something.

"Not good, send someone out of the city!"

Xiang Zhen frowned upon seeing this and quickly shouted to the void behind him.

"Wait, City Lord Xiang, don't be anxious."

"Since I have presented this scene to you, I have already made preparations."

Zhang Yifeng was afraid that Xiang Zhen would alert the enemy, so he raised his hand to persuade him.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Zhen quickly raised his hand to stop the personal guard who was about to take action behind him, then looked up and stared at the light curtain in front of him.

Inside the light curtain, the owner of the perspective has arrived in front of the shadow.

Then the guy hiding in the shadow squirmed twice and pounced towards him.

The dagger with a cold glow went straight to his neck, intending to kill him on the spot.

This sure-fire strike will kill the owner of the sight on the spot.

However, what happened in the next moment made people inside and outside the light curtain cry out in surprise.

A barrier suddenly unfolded in front of the owner of the sight.

The assassin hiding in the shadows in the light curtain and Xiang Zhen, who was unaware of Zhang Yifeng's arrangements, both made sounds of surprise.

"what happened?"
