Chapter 172 Jiang Ping and Lu Zhiheng Conspired
When Lu Zhiheng mentioned his daughter, Jiang Ping noticed that the corner of Lu Yuxiang’s eyes twitched.
Lu Yuxiang, who had been behind Lu Zhiheng all this time, was getting impatient. If this dragged on, it would be very disadvantageous for him.
“Mayor, stop talking nonsense. If you find it troublesome, I’ll go first.”
After saying this, Lu Yuxiang walked out from behind Lu Zhiheng.
Without waiting for the crowd to react, Lu Yuxiang directly attacked Jiang Ping.
The palm wind directly chopped towards Jiang Ping.
Jiang Ping directly raised his foot and kicked forward.
Causing Lu Yuxiang to be kicked two steps back.
Jiang Ping laughed.
“Sect Master Lu, are you this anxious that you’re revealing such a big flaw to me?”
Lu Yuxiang was furious, and spiritual energy was wrapped around his legs.
He shouted in a low voice.
“Want to compete with me in leg kung fu?”
“Come.”
He raised his leg and directly aimed towards Jiang Ping’s head.
Jiang Ping extended his arm to block, but he was still repelled by Lu Yuxiang’s attack.
After he stabilized himself, Jiang Ping moved his arm which was in pain.
Then, he said to the crowd.
“Why don’t we fight somewhere else?”
“We can’t let go here.”
Lu Zhiheng knew that Jiang Ping would not compromise. As the mayor, he could not fight with him in a crowded place.
So, he said to Jiang Ping.
“Then, Brother Jiang, where do you think we should fight?”
Jiang Ping looked to the east. “Didn’t the eastern district become a wasteland? Let’s go there. Even if we destroy the place, you won’t feel sorry.”
Lu Zhiheng smiled.
“That’s exactly what I was thinking.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ping stood up in the air and flew towards the eastern district.
Lu Zhiheng was afraid that he would run away.
So, he quickly followed.
As he chased after Jiang Ping, he shouted.
“Don’t play any tricks. Your family members are still at the inn.”
“I said before. This matter is only targeted at you. But if you run away, I can only invite your family members to my residence.” Jiang Ping flew in the air and turned his head to reply.
“Don’t worry, I, Jiang Ping, haven’t done anything wrong. There’s no need for me to run away.”
Then, Jiang Ping and Lu Zhiheng landed in the eastern district.
Zhou Nan and Wang Xin from the Heaven’s Gate Sect also followed the two to the eastern district.
Lu Yuxiang remained in the inn.
He did not follow Lu Zhiheng.
Instead, he walked straight into the inn and poured himself a cup of tea. After drinking it, he slowly walked to the second floor.
Jiang Ping, Lu Zhiheng, and the rest arrived at the eastern district, but they did not start fighting
When the two of them saw that Lu Yuxiang did not follow them, they looked at each other and smiled.
Jiang Ping spoke first. “I believe the mayor has also noticed it.”
Lu Zhiheng nodded, and then his smile disappeared. There was more anger on his face.
In fact, when Jiang Ping was in front of the inn’s door just now, he had used his spiritual energy to send a telepathic transmission to Lu
Zhiheng.
He told him his guess and Lu Yuxiang’s abnormality.
The gist of it was that Lu Yuxiang was most likely the murderer of the attack on the eastern district.
At first, Lu Zhiheng did not believe it because Lu Yuxiang had no reason to attack the eastern district.
Not only did he not get any benefits, but the eastern district was also a part of his territory.
Was there something wrong with him that he would do such a thing?
However, Jiang Ping asked him through telepathic transmission, “What if he could increase his cultivation?”
“Do you think he will attack the eastern district?”
Lu Zhiheng thought about it and realized that Lu Yuxiang’s behavior during this period of time was indeed strange.
He had become more attentive to him and listened to everything he said.
Moreover, he was the most active in searching for the eastern district murderer.
However, Jiang Ping’s words still could not convince Lu Zhiheng.
It was not until Lu Yuxiang attacked Jiang Ping just now.
Although it was only for a moment, Lu Zhiheng could clearly sense the change in Lu Yuxiang’s cultivation.
It was the aura of the middle stage of the earth immortal realm.
It was the same as his cultivation. At that moment, Lu Zhiheng suddenly understood a lot.
Thus, the two of them came to the eastern district to put on a show.
Jiang Ping cupped his hands and said.
“Then, mayor, you should believe everything I say now, right?”
Lu Zhiheng nodded and said to the two people behind him.
“Lu Yuxiang is the murderer who attacked the eastern district.”
Wang Xin, who knew nothing, was shocked and stammered with questions.
“Why… why did he do that?”
Zhou Nan, who had noticed it a long time ago, was also a little incredulous after hearing it.
At this moment, the two of them were waiting for Lu Zhiheng’s answer.
Lu Zhiheng shook his head.
“I don’t know, but it should be helpful for his cultivation growth.”
Zhou Nan asked.
“What about now?”
“Should we go back and arrest him?”
Lu Zhiheng stretched out his hand.
“Don’t alert him yet. Lu Yuxiang is at least at the middle stage of the earth immortal realm.”
“Moreover, if we fight in the city, we’ll cause more casualties than in the eastern district.”
Jiang Ping had a good impression of this mayor who cared about the people.
However, this mayor was a little stubborn…
Lu Zhiheng turned around and asked Jiang
Ping.
“Brother Jiang, I’ve offended you before. What do you think we should do now?”
Jiang Ping waved his hand in response to Lu Zhiheng’s apology.
Then, he smiled.
“Let’s wait and see.”
Lu Zhiheng’s face was full of doubt.
“But Brother Jiang’s daughters are still at the inn. Lu Yuxiang is not a kind person. I’m just afraid…”
Jiang Ping looked in the direction of the inn.
He smiled slightly.
“I’m not the only one staying at the inn…”
Hearing Jiang Ping’s irrelevant answer, Lu Zhiheng was even more confused.
However, since Jiang Ping was not in a hurry, he felt that Jiang Ping should have other tricks up his sleeve.
Therefore, he could only hold back his temper and follow what Jiang Ping suggested, to wait and see.
The reason why Jiang Ping was so calm was that before Lu Zhiheng and the others arrived at the inn.
An old Taoist priest quietly opened his door.
“May I know who you are?”
Jiang Ping asked the strange old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest didn’t treat himself as an outsider. He poured himself a cup of tea and then answered Jiang Ping’s question.
“Hehehe, I’m just an old man.”
Jiang Ping frowned and looked at the old man who called himself an old man.
He felt that the person in front of him was definitely not simple.
Therefore, Jiang Ping goaded him.
“If you don’t want to say it, then I’ll have to ask you to leave.”
The old Taoist priest said with a smile.
“There’s no need to goad me. I’m here to tell you about leaving the city.”
Then, the old Taoist priest told Jiang Ping.
If he wanted to leave the city now, he wouldn’t be able to break out.
He would easily become the target of public criticism.
Therefore, he could only help the mayor find the murderer who attacked the eastern district.
“Who is it?” Jiang Ping asked curiously.
“Does senior know who the murderer is?”
The old Taoist priest didn’t say anything. He just used his finger that was dipped in tea.
He wrote a name on the table.
Then, he used his spiritual energy to tell Jiang Ping what to do next.
If an ordinary person met this old man, they would definitely think that he was sick.
In fact, Jiang Ping was also skeptical.
Because the old man also told Jiang Ping what would happen next.
After saying that, he directly turned around and left without waiting for Jiang Ping to agree.
Before he left, he only gave a piece of advice that he should just do as he was told just
now…
