Chapter 391: Chapter 290: The Director Has Been Waiting for You! (Part 2)
This is sheer humiliation!
Outside the door, a tall figure slowly stepped in, his steps steady but exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.
It was a man with only a left arm.
Following this, the man had a stern face, his gaze like a knife, directly staring at Liu Bifu.
"You, as the County Magistrate of Dengfeng County, why are you targeting Miss Lu Qingqing?"
"Who sent you here?"
Liu Bifu’s face changed drastically, and alarm bells rang in his heart.
He forced himself to remain calm and shouted, "Who... Who exactly are you?"
"How dare you be so presumptuous!"
"Someone! Someone, come quick! Capture this madman!"
However, there was silence outside the door, and no one responded.
The entire county office seemed to plunge into a dead silence, with only the man’s voice echoing in the vast hall.
"I don’t know any Lu Qingqing."
"Perhaps there’s some misunderstanding between us!"
Cold sweat seeped from Liu Bifu’s forehead as he lied with his eyes wide open, while trying to speculate about the identity of the man in front of him.
A sense of impending doom rose in his heart, and he instinctively took a few steps back, his voice laced with panic, "You... you stay away!"
"I am a court official!"
"If you dare to touch me, you will be making an enemy of the entire court!"
Such a powerful martial artist’s aura, an intensely oppressive force.
Could it be a martial artist of the Blood Refining Realm?
Liu Bifu was utterly shocked, realizing he, a Perfect Marrow Refining martial artist, was no match for the man before him.
Suddenly, several men dressed in uniform white brocade robes quickly rushed in from outside.
Their movements were synchronized and their steps steady, clearly well-trained.
"Wait!"
"Those clothes!"
In his extreme tension, the words "Profound Bird Guard" suddenly flashed through Liu Bifu’s mind.
Liu Bifu’s pupils shrank sharply, and his heart was thrown into turmoil.
The Profound Bird Guard, a mysterious force directly under His Majesty, specifically dealing with those ghosts and monsters.
How could they appear here?
Could it be... could it be that his actions had actually drawn the attention of this Profound Bird Guard?
But, I haven’t had a chance to act yet!
Moreover, the Profound Bird Guard seldom bothers with mundane affairs, how could they possibly trouble me?
There must be some misunderstanding!
Yes!
It must be a misunderstanding.
Cold sweat kept pouring down Liu Bifu’s pale face.
He suppressed the fear in his heart, barely forced a smile, and stammered, "Gentlemen, I do not know... why you’ve come today. Is there perhaps some misunderstanding?"
However, the men in white brocade outside completely ignored Liu Bifu and directly approached the leading man, respectfully cupping their hands and reporting.
"Master Huang, we extracted some information from Liu Bifu’s subordinates."
"This Liu Bifu is planning to act against the Shen Family!" one of them said in a deep voice.
"As for the reason—" another man picked up the conversation, his tone tinged with disdain, "for wealth!"
Hearing this, the man addressed as "Master Huang" slightly furrowed his brows, a trace of chill flashed in his eyes.
And he was indeed Li Daren, entrusted by Lu Jiahe to stay in Dengfeng County to protect Lu Qingqing!
Li Daren coldly glanced at Liu Bifu.
The room’s temperature sharply rose, and the air was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.
This was the phenomenon caused by the sudden surge of Li Daren’s blood and qi power.
Liu Bifu felt the horrifying killing intent from Li Daren, his body stiffened, his face as pale as paper, tremblingly said, "No..... you... you can’t kill me!"
"I... I can give you money! A lot of money! Just spare me..."
What followed was a crisp sound of bone shattering.
In the center of Liu Bifu’s forehead, a piece of the broken door frame, like an arrow, straightly pierced through, leaving a glaring bloody hole.
His eyes widened, still holding the last traces of fear and disbelief.
As if until the last moment of his life, Liu Bifu couldn’t believe that this had actually happened.
It seems that he reached out to places he shouldn’t have!
Miss Lu Qingqing!
This was indeed the most crucial point.
Unfortunately, in the mere moment before losing consciousness, Liu Bifu figured out the entire truth.
Li Daren looked at the two corpses on the ground and spoke coldly.
"So, it’s just another corrupt official!"
Li Daren was somewhat speechless; he thought it was some daring scoundrel.
To think someone would dare to secretly covet the little sister of Mr. Lu.
Turns out it was just a corrupt, money-grabbing official!
"You all, immediately take this news back to Master Xuan."
A few days ago, Mr. Lu had already used Great Divine Techniques to secretly relocate the Shen Family.
Perhaps, the situation with Qingyun County’s Mr. Lu is similar to the Shen Family, settled by Mr. Lu in an unknown place.
What on earth is happening up there?
Even a legendary figure like Mr. Lu needs to ensure the safety of his family in advance!
Li Daren shook his head, secretly sighed in his heart: "Forget it, forget it!"
"These are matters of the gods fighting each other; I, a mere practitioner of the Blood Refining Realm, am not qualified to meddle."
Meanwhile, in Qingyun County city.
Eight figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the Lu Family’s mansion, their attire was peculiar, and their aura was extraordinary, instantly arousing the guard’s vigilance at the entrance.
"Hey, who are you?" the guard stepped forward, holding a long knife, warily eyeing the eight people.
Among these eight, there were five men and three women.
Among the five men, there was an elderly man with white hair, a thin face, resembling an immortal, as well as a few relatively young-looking men.
