Chapter 353: Chapter 246 Landscaping Technique!_2

Li Xuantong’s expression was complex as he said, "The problem mostly lies in the relocation of those thirty-eight thousand people!"

The middle-aged man was even more puzzled, "It’s just about vacating a plot of land within the inner city to settle these thirty-eight thousand people. The matter is this simple, nothing more than a decree from the City Guard Mansion. It shouldn’t be difficult."

"Even if Mr. Lu pities the common people, the Holy Land will have other arrangements as well; it’s not about annihilating the original inhabitants of the inner city to make room for the people from the Holy Land!"

"Logically speaking, in such matters, Mr. Lu would also choose to compromise in the past."

Following this middle-aged man’s words.

Li Xuantong suddenly laughed.

"Last time we drank together, we also talked about Mr. Lu. You seem to have forgotten what I said then."

"Were you saying that after being demoted, Mr. Lu’s way of doing things greatly changed?" the middle-aged man asked hesitantly.

"Now that I think about it carefully, it might not be because of the demotion."

Li Xuantong slowly said, "It’s because of Wu Chang!"

His expression turned solemn as he said, "Throughout history, it has always been the elders who guide the younger generation, with a profound impact... Yet, who would have thought, a person like Mr. Lu, who had held a high position for many years, would be utterly changed by a young man in his later years, influenced so greatly!"

"It’s a pity, if this matter succeeds, completely reclaiming all authority over High Willow City from top to bottom would be a great achievement for the Holy Land!"

"With this great achievement, and the merits accumulated over the years, my father would have the qualifications to inherit the position of Sixth Vein Master after my great-uncle’s hundredth birthday!"

"And I would logically take over the position of Great City Guard of Qifeng Prefecture!"

"They are blocking my path!"

Li Xuantong sighed, "How can one easily let go of grievances that block one’s path?"

——

The atmosphere in the courtyard remained extremely cold.

But this Chief True Man was evidently at a disadvantage.

He dared not truly provoke a Refining God Realm.

Since he dared not make a move, the matter was considered settled.

"Since a major mistake has occurred, let’s put this matter aside for now, and I will report back to the Holy Land for further discussion,"

This Chief True Man continued to say, "However, concerning the attitude towards the Holy Land from High Willow City starting with Brother Lu, the City Guard Mansion, and the Sky Observation Bureau, I will report as is!"

"No harm!"

Mr. Lu nodded slightly, "Both of us are pillars of the Human Clan now. Why resort to fists over matters that can be resolved by discussion?"

"We should indeed be working together, counteracting the treacherous night, expelling evil spirits, and protecting the Human Clan. It’s not good to disturb the peace over such matters, and it would be even more of a loss for the Human Clan if lives were harmed!"

"Now that things have been cleared up, why not sit down and join this old man for a cup of tea?"

"..."

The courtyard remained silent.

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the Chief True Man.

And the Chief True Man, expressionless, said, "The third matter has already been pushed down, but are there still reasons to defy the first two?"

The first two matters were about the next Great City Guard and the next Commander of the Sky Observation Bureau.

Strictly speaking, since the Sky Observation Bureau holds the authority to monitor the City Guard Mansion, the two being from the same lineage is also inappropriate.

But since it was designated by the Holy Land, and appointed by Qifeng City Guardian Mansion and the Sky Observation Bureau, there was no room for question.

"Of course there are!"

Just then, the voice of the current Commander of High Willow City Sky Observation Bureau came from outside the courtyard.

People turned their heads towards the outside.

A figure walked into the courtyard.

The sleeve of his severed arm fluttered in the wind.

His face was cold, his murderous intent barely concealed, his gaze fixed on the Chief True Man, "The current transmission master of Qifeng Prefecture, is he your junior brother?"

"What do you mean?"

The Chief True Man frowned upon hearing this.

And behind him, Gui Zhen’s heart suddenly trembled, gripping the sword in his hand tightly.

"Attempting to harm our Human Clan, and degrading a Refining God being, may I ask Chief True Man, what should be his punishment?" the Commander said aloud.

"Damnit!" the Thirteenth Young Master exclaimed, "Without proof, how dare you slander the people of our Holy Land?"

"Evidence?"

The Commander reached into his robe.

He extended his hand, and between his index and middle finger, there was a scrap of paper.

This was the remnant of a Spirit Talisman that had not burned completely.

Both the material of the paper and the meager power it contained shifted the expressions of those from the Holy Land slightly.

This type of paper was exceedingly rare and was produced through numerous processes; currently, only the Holy Land could manufacture it.

The residual markings on it clearly originated from the secretive talisman techniques of the Holy Land!

And the lingering Qi Mechanism was that of the person who had drawn the talisman’s True Qi.

"..."

This Chief True Man, a Sixth Vein Master, merely glanced at it and recognized that it was indeed the handiwork of his junior brother.

His expression turned extremely grim.

The Thirteenth Young Master looked ahead and with a hesitant expression, whispered, "Chief True Man, this warrants death."

"..."

The Chief True Man, wearing a cold expression, glanced at him and finally turned his gaze to Mr. Lu, saying, "After all the detours, are you still waiting here for me?"

"What does that mean?"

Mr. Lu sighed, "Your junior brother wanted to kill me. If it weren’t for these three juniors by my side, who did everything they could to save me, today the Human Clan would have lost a Refining God Realm master for no reason!"

Lin Yan furrowed his brows, glanced at Mr. Lu, and gripping his treasured saber, said solemnly, "Plotting against a Refining God of the Human Clan deserves death!"

Mr. Lu chuckled, "Don’t rush, let’s see if the Chief True Man is willing to sacrifice his kin for justice."

The atmosphere in the courtyard grew even more somber, and after a long silence, the Chief True Man finally spoke, "Brother Lu, what do you mean by this?"

Mr. Lu’s expression remained calm as he glanced left and right.

The Chief True Man seemed to realize something and nodded slightly.

Then, two elders walked to one side.

Mr. Lu waved his hand, and a dazzling light enveloped the two men.

"Speak plainly!" The Chief True Man said sternly.

"You’re nearly eighty years old, and must relinquish your position before you turn a hundred!" Mr. Lu lightly laughed, "The Great City Guard and the Commander can recommend their successors to the Qifeng Prefecture before retiring! But for you, the next Chief must be appointed by the Holy Land!"

"Are you trying to interfere with the appointment of the next Sixth Vein Master?"

"No! You are the one trying to interfere with the appointment of the next Sixth Vein Master!"

"Brother Lu, what do you mean by this?"

"During this transmission of techniques to the Qifeng Prefecture, your junior brother has performed outstandingly, and when he returns to the Holy Land, he will qualify to be your aide!"

Mr. Lu said with a smile, "You want your nephew, the current Great City Guard of Qifeng Prefecture, to succeed you and receive the blessings of the fifth generation. You need your junior brother’s help for that! Therefore, you must save his life!"

The Chief True Man fell silent for a moment, then said, "You’re willing to negotiate a price with me, obviously, you don’t need him dead. What do you want?"

"The Landscaping Technique!"

"Impossible!"

"Then he can only die."

"You, who did not enter the path through martial arts, have reached the limit of the Refining God Realm! This Landscaping Technique is utterly useless to you!"

"That’s my business."

"I don’t have the authority to grant you the Landscaping Technique!" The Chief True Man said gravely, "It is a secret of the Holy Land, not to be disclosed, and each printing consumes the Saint Master’s mana!"

"Of course, I’m not asking you to give away a copy of the Landscaping Technique!" Mr. Lu chuckled, "In seven days, in the grand hall of the Holy Land, someone will propose granting the ’Landscaping Technique.’ There will certainly be much opposition among the high ranks of the Holy Land, so we need your approval and your junior brother’s as well!"

"Granting the Landscaping Technique?" The Chief True Man furrowed his brows, "You are doomed to a dead end, no matter your accomplishments. It’s impossible to grant you the Landscaping Technique!"

"My path may be cut off, but not the Li Shen Sect!" Mr. Lu said calmly, "The Li Shen Sect, with its extraordinary talents and remarkable merits, merits the granting of the Landscaping Technique! Soon, within the Holy Land, someone will bring this up..."

"It seems like you have quite deep infiltration into the Holy Land!"

The Chief True Man sneered, saying, "Grant it to the Li Shen Sect? The printed scroll of this Landscaping Technique, once comprehended, vanishes like smoke and clouds! Are you sure the Li Shen Sect is willing to give the Landscaping Technique to you?"
