Chu Qing managed to avoid the search in the city by holding Lu Jing hostage, and successfully arrived at the city gate.

What's interesting is that during this period, all the Qingyan City guards did not notice anything wrong with Lu Jing, who was only accompanied by a guard, and did not realize how unreasonable it was for Lu Jing to leave the city at this time.

After leaving Qingyan City, Chu Qing held Lu Jing hostage and walked for more than ten miles before stopping.

Chu Qing smiled at Lu Jing and said, "Lord Lu, thank you for personally sending me out of the city. Before leaving, I have a small gift for the Lord of the City, and I hope the Lord of the City will not refuse it!"

Lu Jing said with a gloomy face, "You will also give me a gift? I..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt Chu Qing's hand suddenly exerted force and stabbed into his waist!

The severe pain made Lu Jing's brain go blank for a moment. He wanted to resist, but his whole body had lost all his strength and he could not use any strength.

Afterwards, Chu Qing seemed to think that this was not enough, so he pulled the dagger out of his waist and stabbed it into his heart again.

When his consciousness was about to fade, Lu Jing only vaguely heard Chu Qing's words with a sneer.

"I'm sorry, City Lord Lu. If I let you go back, you will definitely send people to hunt me down, so I have no choice but to let you stay here forever!"

——————————

That afternoon, the news of Lu Jing's disappearance spread throughout Qingyan City. Everyone in the City Lord's Mansion searched the whole city, but neither Chu Qing nor Lu Jing was found. Everyone was like a headless fly, bumping around everywhere. I don't know who had a sudden idea, but later, they actually ran to Qingxing Hall to find Xiao Ruoyao to take charge of the situation.

Xiao Ruoyao was also surprised when she heard about this. She couldn't help asking, "You mean, your city lord disappeared, Chu Qing also disappeared? And he also killed someone from your city lord's mansion?"

The one who came to ask Xiao Ruoyao to take charge of the situation was Lu Jing's right-hand man, a middle-aged scholar who was relied on by Lu Jing as a think tank. He smiled bitterly and said to Xiao Ruoyao, "That's true. Now that the city lord is missing, no one in the city lord's mansion can take charge of the situation, so we can only ask the fairy to come forward."

Most cities in the upper domain have a characteristic, that is, the power is only in the hands of the city lord, and other people in the city lord's mansion have no real power. Under the city lord, the more powerful ones are some prestigious families in the city. If the city lord is still there, the current situation can be maintained. Once the city lord is gone, the big families in the city will inevitably have other ideas, and then it may cause chaos in the city.

It is for this reason that the middle-aged scholar came to ask Xiao Ruoyao to take charge of the situation. After all, Xiao Ruoyao is a real strong man in the realm of tribulation, and there is no one who can fight better than her within a radius of ten thousand miles.

After Xiao Ruoyao pondered for a moment, she asked, "When was the last time you saw Lu Jing?"

"Around 3:45 today."

"Where was it?"

"East Gate."

"Who was with him?"

"Only one guard."

As soon as he said this, the middle-aged scholar immediately reacted: "Fairy, you mean that the city lord was kidnapped by that person?"

Xiao Ruoyao looked at a fool and asked, "Isn't it obvious? And in all likelihood, that guard was Chu Qing in disguise."

The middle-aged scholar's face turned very ugly: "If If he was Chu Qing pretending to be him, where did he take the city lord to? "

Xiao Ruoyao shrugged and said, "Isn't this obvious? Chu Qing held Lu Jing hostage, so he was able to leave the city smoothly. After leaving the city, Lu Jing was naturally useless to Chu Qing. If it were me, I would definitely kill him. Otherwise, when he returns, he will bring a large group of people to chase me?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Ruoyao sighed: "A group of stupid people were actually teased by a junior like this, alas!"

The middle-aged scholar's face was not only ugly, but also like a bereaved mother. If it was really according to what Xiao Ruoyao said, wouldn't it mean that the city lord is now in danger?

He hoped that Xiao Ruoyao was fooling him, but reason told him that Xiao Ruoyao was right.

The middle-aged scholar immediately arranged for people to search outside the East Gate. Not long after, a guard came to report that the body of the city lord was found fifteen miles outside the East Gate. Chu Qing was nowhere to be found.

The most ominous premonition has been confirmed, and the city lord's mansion is in a panic.

After hearing this, Xiao Ruoyao sighed helplessly and said to the middle-aged scholar: "You should announce to the public that Qingyan City will be temporarily managed by me before the new city lord appears. No one should make trouble, otherwise I will make them look bad."

This is probably the only good news among all the things the middle-aged scholar experienced today.

The news of Lu Jing's murder soon spread throughout the city.

There are two major families in Qingyan City, the Li family in the south and the Hu family in the north. The two families have been fighting against each other in Qingyan City for many years, and neither of them is willing to submit to the other. However, because of the city lord, the two families are usually harmonious. But when they heard that Lu Jing was killed, some small thoughts suddenly emerged in their hearts.

Will it be a good opportunity to seize power now?

But obviously, in order to successfully seize power, you have to suppress the other family first.

Just when they were getting ready to think about how to suppress the other side, the City Lord's Mansion suddenly issued a notice, which immediately extinguished the little thoughts in their hearts.

The notice said that Qingyan City had been temporarily taken over by Xiao Ruoyao. During Xiao Ruoyao's time, anyone who dared to make trouble would be severely punished by Xiao Ruoyao.

The two major families in the north and south immediately calmed down.

The more powerful the powerful, the weirder the temper. Especially Xiao Ruoyao, who has super combat power, has basically fought out of a sea of ​​blood and corpses. Don't look at her cute and lovely appearance. When she kills people, she never cares who you are or what backers are behind you. Anyone with a little bit of brains will not offend this great god.

Although the position of the city lord is good, you have to be alive to sit there.

While they were living in peace, they were secretly looking forward to the other family making some trouble, and it would be best if they angered this great god, and it would be best if they exterminated the whole family. They even calculated that if the other party was too rational, they would have to help them be irrational.

While planning, they also asked about how the city lord died. After hearing that the person who did it was Chu Qing, everyone had a strange look on their faces.

Chu Qing? Isn't he the young alchemist who was praised by Qin Tianshu a few days ago? How dare this kid kill the city lord?

After a deeper understanding, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

Good guy! This Chu Qing first betrayed his master and ancestors, and led outsiders to attack his own master. Later, while occupying Ziqing Mountain, he was severely taught a lesson by Wuling City and Tiangang Sword Sect, and almost all his people died.

After that, he held an alliance in Tianlei City under the banner of Chongyang Sword Sect and Xuanlei Sect, and was disrupted by his good master and a group of people, and the families of the alliance suffered heavy casualties. In the melee, Chu Qing actually showed a unique skill, sneaking and killing his two sworn brothers, and blaming Tang Fei and Feng Shao...

Tsk tsk, they haven't heard of such a troublemaker for a long time, and he is still so young. If he is allowed to grow up, wouldn't it stir up the wind and clouds and turn the whole upper domain upside down!

Qin Tianshu, who also learned about this, was sitting in his room in a daze.

On the arena of the alchemy competition, he had already begun to regret supporting Chu Qing. After hearing about Chu Qing's actions, Qin Tianshu regretted it so much that he wanted to travel through time and space and strangle himself who had supported Chu Qing at all costs.

In the previous situation, Qin Tianshu thought that his biggest mistake was nothing more than a failed investment. The younger generation who was originally expected to become an excellent alchemist failed, and all his investment was wasted, which could be said to be a loss of all his money.

Although the situation is serious, it is not unacceptable.

But the current situation is that Chu Qing assassinated Yang Hao and Gong Shenglong, and was caught by the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect. The consequences are much more serious.

Qin Tianshu can already imagine how severe the revenge will be from the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect for supporting Chu Qing. Even though his alchemy skills were unrivaled in the world, he had no confidence in being able to compete with the two major sects. Even those cultivators and their forces who had something to ask of him would never dare to go against the two major sects for him.

He sat in a daze on the chair, looking at the sky outside the window, his mind blank.

——————————

While the two major families were eyeing the position of the city lord and Qin Tianshu was feeling sorry for himself and regretting, Chu Qing was flying towards Dongzhou.

From Lu Jing, Chu Qing had learned about his current situation. Obviously, Chu Qing had achieved the achievement of being hated by the four major sects in Beizhou at the same time. This achievement had never been achieved before, and Chu Qing could be proud of it.

But after being proud, he had to think about the problem of running away.

Beizhou was the territory of the four major sects, so for Chu Qing, Beizhou was obviously no longer a place to stay. But fortunately, Dongzhou was only a hundred miles away from Qingyan City. The power of the four major sects cannot reach Dongzhou, so Chu Qing can temporarily avoid disaster in Dongzhou.

Unfortunately, Dongzhou has Yunjian Pavilion and Wuling City, and Wuling City has a good relationship with Jiuyin Holy Land and Taixuan Holy Land, and has a harmonious relationship with Longhua Temple. If Wuling City and Yunjian Pavilion issue a wanted order for him in the name of Tiangang Sword Sect and Ziqing Holy Land, Chu Qing may not be able to gain a foothold in Dongzhou.

So for now, Chu Qing has no choice but to flee south as soon as possible and enter the territory of Nanzhou. Once there, the power of the four major sects in Beizhou will have no influence at all, and he can also settle down there.

With this idea in mind, Chu Qing flew across the border between Dongzhou and Zhongzhou after entering Dongzhou. Along the way, except for the necessary rest, he spent almost all his time on the road.

After more than 20 days of full-scale travel, Chu Qing flew to the northern foot of Henglong Mountain. The well-known holy place for decisive battles, "Duanlongtai", is already in sight.
