Positions are relative. At this time, Lie Yankong and the others are high-ranking people to Wu Shouzhong, but at a certain time and place in the past, Wu Shouzhong was also a high-ranking person to others. Naturally, he knows that people in high positions are thinking at this time.

What was he thinking about and what should he do? Thinking about this, he felt more and more that it was really meaningless.

"I reported the disaster as soon as it started, but no one came."

Shui Linglong interjected, "I remember this place is under the jurisdiction of Huangquan Sect."

After hearing this, Wu Shouzhong continued without any unnecessary expression, "I have been there, and their leader is in retreat."

"Confused, what time has it been? As the lord of Fangzhang City, why don't you do nothing when he says you will go into seclusion?"

Lie Yankong said, "Junior Sister Shui, calm down and listen to what the city lord has to say first."

The city lord then replied, "I didn't see him the first time I went there. He said he was in retreat. Then when I went there again, their entire sect activated the mountain protection formation and sealed the mountain so that no one could enter or leave."

Now, all three of them knew that things were not that simple. Lie Yankong glanced at Shui Linglong, who understood and retreated.

Lie Yankong then asked, "What's going on with the protective boundary outside the Changlin City area?"

The city lord replied, "I set up the protection together with other cities and counties outside the city. Since I can't solve the disaster, I can't let it spread and harm people in other cities and counties."

When Lu Ming heard this, he also asked, "Why don't people from other cities and counties help?"

Wu Shouzhong replied, "Sir, no one from the Huangquan Sect will take action. Do you think others will help us?"

After a while, Shui Linglong came back, and Lie Yankong asked, "How was it?"

Shui Linglong replied, "The mountain is completely closed, no one can enter or leave."

Shui Linglong's answer illustrates the Huangquan Sect's attitude on this matter. Generally, there are large and small mountain closures. The largest mountain closure is a complete blockade, with no entry or exit, forming a separate boundary. Unless it is used

External forces can forcefully break it, otherwise we can only wait for them to open up the mountain on their own.

Lie Yankong then asked, "What's going on in Hongquan Mountain?"

Wu Shouzhong replied, "When the disaster first broke out, I sent people to investigate, but no one survived. But judging from the situation in the past six months, there should be a drought demon raised in Hongquan Mountain. Six months later,

It should have been the time when it was forming a condensation pill, so it caused this disaster."

Shui Linglong then asked, "Even the Drought Demon Ningdan is only a Hundred-year-old Drought Demon. As a city lord, I see that you also have the cultivation level of the Seventh Realm. How come you can't even eliminate a mere Hundred-year-old Drought Demon?"

Wu Shouzhong did not confront her tit for tat, but simply replied calmly, "If it were an ordinary hundred-year-old drought demon, I could solve it myself. Why would I need to ask the Huangquan Sect for help? I wouldn't let the situation develop to this day."

Lie Yankong asked, "It is indeed not an ordinary drought demon. If it is a drought demon that was born and raised by the earth, it will be destroyed if it is destroyed. But what if it was raised by humans?"

Wu Shouzhong raised his head for the first time, stared at the three people in front of him with a heavy gaze, and said, "I won't do this, and I don't even bother to do it."

Shui Linglong also said indifferently, "It doesn't matter what you did, what matters is whether it has anything to do with you."

After hearing this, Wu Shouzhong also became indifferent, "Since the adults already know what's going on, why bother asking more questions. I just hope that when the adults find the scapegoat, they will not forget to solve the trouble here. After all, human life is the most important thing."

Lie Yankong also heard the implication of his words, but he would not listen to one side or the other. People's hearts are the most unpredictable. Whether they are loyal or traitorous, good or evil, they can all be disguised, but it just changes with a face.

He said, "We will go to Hongquan Mountain. Now you have my warrant. No matter what method you use, you must report the situation here to Tianjing."

Wu Shouzhong didn't seem to expect that they would make such a decision. He was a little dazed and did not react. He took the warrant handed over by Lie Yankong numbly. Before the three of them were about to leave, Wu Shouzhong finally couldn't help but ask, "You guys

Do you really want to go to Hongquan Mountain?”

Shui Linglong said, "You are not the only one who thinks you care about the people."

Lie Yankong continued, "We will personally investigate. If this matter has nothing to do with you, we will not use you as a scapegoat, but if this matter has anything to do with you, we will not let you go."

At this point, the four of them all understood. Wu Shouzhong did not expect that someone would really come to save them, nor did he expect that they would really enforce the law impartially. After living for more than thirty years, he felt tears filling his eyes for the first time.

"Please be careful, adults. This matter is not simple. Although the Han Demon in Hongquan Mountain is powerful, what is even more frightening is that there are evil men behind it."

Lie Yankong took a deep look at him, left a few words and left with his sword, "It is a good thing for an official to be upright, but when facing the top, you still have to have the proper attitude. The only way is to protect your position.

, can we do more for the people.”
