Chapter 5614 Prevention

"Lei Family? There was indeed a Lei Family in Beihai City."

"It can be said that the Lei family is 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 body of the person sent to investigate the next day was hung at the city gate. According to the monks on patrol, they did not notice anything unusual that night."

Speaking of this, Xiang Zhen's face couldn't help but twitch twice.

The Lei family has always had a reputation for charity in Beihai City, and the head of the Lei family has been a good friend for many years.

Over the years, when Xiang Zhen was in power in Beihai City, the Lei family provided him with a lot of help.

However, the Lei family was wiped out overnight for no apparent reason. When Xiang Zhen heard the news, he fell into rage.

As a result, something like that happened the next day, which immediately made Xiang Zhen regain some sense from his rage.

But before he could think about it carefully, news of the next massacre was sent to him.

Xiang Zhen didn't think much about it at the time, so he 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 palace.

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

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

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

"Then it seems I've found the right place, it's right here."

Zhang Yifeng nodded slightly, and when he saw the expression on Xiang Zhen's face after talking about the Lei family, he knew that he was looking in the right place.

This is where Lei Ao originally lived, and it was also the bandit cultivators here who massacred the entire Lei family.

"What does Fellow Daoist Zhang mean by this? 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 with a blank expression and asked in a deep voice.

"Well, on the way here before..."

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

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

Even when he was Lei Ao, the young master of the Lei family, a look of surprise suddenly flashed across Xiang Zhen's face.

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

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

Telling him directly about Lei Ao's existence was Zhang Yifeng's little way to find out his sincerity.

The expression on Xiang Zhen's face cannot be deceiving.

If Xiang Zhen heard that Lei Ao was by his side and immediately showed panic or other expressions on his face, Zhang Yifeng would definitely be a little wary of him.

But looking at Xiang Zhen's expression of excitement and surprise, Zhang Yifeng was sure that he didn't know the reason why Lei Ao was being hunted.

"It turns out that nephew Lei Aoxian didn't die in the hands of those guys. This is really lucky!"

"Originally, I was worried that the Lei family has 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 breathed a long sigh of relief and said happily.

"Well, it seems that City Lord Xiang really has nothing to do with those who caused trouble."

Zhang Yifeng nodded in response.

"Here, could it be that Fellow Daoist Zhang just suspected that I had something to do with those people?"

After 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, City Lord Xiang. After all, there is no guarantee between you and me. Naturally, we need to test more."

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

Zhang Yifeng smiled and explained to Xiang Zhen.

"Eighty percent..."

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

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

Zhang Yifeng shrugged and replied.

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

"Fellow Daoist Zhang is right. There really isn't much protection between us, but I got entangled because of my own sentiments."

"Friend Daoist Zhang, why don't you tell me what we should do next to eradicate the bandit cultivators who are causing trouble in this city?"

Xiang Zhen straightened his expression and asked in a serious voice.

"Ha, don't worry, City Lord Xiang, I already have some clues here."

Zhang Yifeng chuckled lightly, then raised his hand and a spiritual light flew out.

The spiritual light turned into a screen of light in front of the two of them, revealing a scene.

What appeared in the light curtain was the monks leaning on the wall under the gate of Beihai City.

Xiang Zhen naturally recognizes his city and the monks under him.

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

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, what is this?"

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

Seeing this, Xiang Zhen could only quietly stare at the light curtain in front of him.

This light curtain should be from 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 when he saw this, and through a light curtain, he could clearly see a group of figures in the shadow that seemed to be about to move.

After thinking about it for a while, it was not difficult for Xiang Zhen to guess that this was probably the bandit cultivators in the city who were preparing to attack his subordinates guarding the city gate.

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

But it was not to the point that he would anger these guys and kill them first.

Just when Xiang Zhen was puzzled, the owner of the light curtain's perspective had already approached the shadow step by step.

Judging from his appearance, he was clearly bewitched.

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

Seeing this, Xiang Zhen frowned and shouted to the void behind him.

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

"Since I have presented this picture to you, I have naturally prepared a backup plan."

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

Hearing this, Xiang Zhen hurriedly raised his hand to stop the personal guards who were about to take action behind him, and then looked up and stared at the light curtain in front of him.

He saw that the owner of the perspective had already come to the shadow in the light curtain.

Then the guy hidden in the shadow squirmed twice and pounced on him.

The dagger with cold light went straight to his neck, and was about to kill him on the spot.

This sure-fire slash would surely kill the owner of the sight on the spot.

However, what happened the next moment made the people inside and outside the light curtain scream 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 arrangement, all made surprised sounds.

"What's going on?"
