Revenge

Before long, Jiang Lüzhong found out the whereabouts of Richard and his group through the Nightwatchers's intelligence system.

He quickly led his men over, fearing that these people would escape again.

According to the Nightwatchers's intelligence, these people are very elusive; they don't seem to stay in one place for long. If they arrive too late, these people will run away again.

Meanwhile, the group was eating and drinking in a large restaurant in the Outer City.

Although most of them no longer need to eat, the group members have finally managed to get together, so of course they should do more activities together.

Isn't eating and drinking the perfect activity for building closer relationships?

So when Jiang Lüzhong arrived, he saw a group of people eating and drinking.

He instructed his men who had followed him to guard the entrance and not let anyone approach, as the matter involved the Mountains and Rivers Temple and the National Preceptor, and secrecy was essential.

When he pushed open the door, most of the people inside didn't turn around to look at him, since they had already sensed his arrival.

He couldn't even open the door if the others hadn't stopped him.

"The Nightwatchers, Jiang Lüzhong, greets the National Preceptor." After glancing around, Jiang Lüzhong walked towards Luo Yuheng.

"What urgent matter does Jiang Golden Gong have to discuss?" Luo Yuheng glanced at him and asked.

There were only ten Golden Gong Golden Gong the entire Nightwatchers's office. Although she hadn't met them all, she had heard of their names.

Therefore, as soon as Jiang Lüzhong announced his name, Luo Yuheng knew his identity.

What's more, this guy always carries a Golden Gong with him; that's a symbol of his status.

Moreover, this Golden Gong was a special magical artifact crafted by Fourth Grade array master from the Directorate of Astronomy for their Nightwatchers's office.

This Golden Gong can be worn around the chest as a shield to withstand a full-force attack from Refining Spirit; it can also be struck to generate sonic vibrations that cause dizziness, hallucinations, and mental disturbance.

"There are some things I need to consult with the National Preceptor about."

"Why does the National Preceptor want to go to Sangpo Lake?" Jiang Lüzhong stared intently into Luo Yuheng's eyes, trying to discern something from them.

That's just his straightforward personality; even if the other party is the National Preceptor, he won't hesitate to have doubts when necessary.

Jiang Lüzhong was an absolute hawk in the Nightwatchers's office, and he had offended many people. If it weren't for Wei Yuan protecting him, he would have been removed from office long ago.

Of course, this guy is indeed quite capable; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to hold onto his position as the night Nightwatchers and the Golden Gong, let alone be among the top three Golden Gong.

His peak Fourth Grade martial arts cultivation was his greatest source of confidence, and his pure fist intent was enough to allow him to compete with Third Grade extraordinary masters for a short period of time.

"I can go if I want to, is that not allowed?" Luo Yuheng wasn't going to indulge him and retorted directly.

Although she was taken there by Richard, she obviously wouldn't say that.

The group members are all visitors from another world, so it's obvious that she, as a native, has to take the blame.

But it's alright, she's the National Preceptor, she can handle taking the blame.

"Does the National Preceptor know that Mountains and Rivers Temple was bombed?" Jiang Lüzhong asked without backing down.

"So what if I know, and so what if I don't?" Luo Yuheng raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Please cooperate with my investigation, National Preceptor, or things might get complicated," Jiang Lüzhong said firmly.

"Are you threatening me, Jiang Golden Gong?" Luo Yuheng raised an eyebrow.

"How could I dare threaten the National Preceptor? But when Mountains and Rivers Temple was bombed, the National Preceptor was indeed near Sangpo Lake."

Although I don't think the National Preceptor would do anything detrimental to the Great Feng, National Preceptor was so close to Sangpo Lake at the time that he must have been able to hear some noise.

"Please tell me what information you have, so I can clear your National Preceptor," National Preceptor Jiang Lüzhong said with a self-deprecating smile.

"There's nothing we can't say. We just went to Sangpo Lake to enjoy the scenery and take a look at the Great Feng's Nation-Guarding Divine Sword."

As for the bombing of Mountains and Rivers Temple, that really has nothing to do with us. Perhaps you could look into what's hidden beneath Sangpo Lake; that might give you some clues.

Before Luo Yuheng could speak, Richard casually answered Jiang Lüzhong.

"Who is this?" Jiang Lüzhong listened to Richard's words, but didn't say whether he believed it or not. He changed the subject and tried to get some information out of Richard.

According to the Nightwatchers's intelligence, the people around Luo Yuheng are quite mysterious, and there is very little information about them. Now, let's try to find out as much information as possible.

Richard, in particular, could tell that these people were subtly led by him, and even the National Preceptor seemed to be led by him.

This is quite unbelievable. Who is this person? The National Preceptor is Second Grade expert. In the Great Feng Earth Boundary, besides the Supervisor, who else would the National Preceptor treat like this?

"A nobody, not worth mentioning." Richard smiled wryly.

Jiang Lüzhong was speechless, knowing he couldn't extract any more information from him.

"Does Jiang Golden Gong have anything else to say? If not, please don't disturb my gathering with my friends."

Luo Yuheng immediately ordered him to leave.

"Then I'll take my leave." Jiang Lüzhong memorized the faces of everyone present.

Although the National Preceptor was unwilling to cooperate, the trip was not entirely fruitless.

What the man told him about the things beneath Sangpo Lake was a clue.

He didn't think the man would lie to him, because given his power and status, those people could have remained silent, but since they gave him this clue, there was no need for them to lie to him.

Therefore, there really is something beneath Sangpo Lake, and it's even related to the bombing of Mountains and Rivers Temple.

He needs to go back and investigate what exactly lies beneath Sangpo Lake that warrants such a commotion from the person behind it all.

After Jiang Lüzhong left, the banquet continued until late at night.

Generally speaking, restaurants don't stay open for that long; they usually close around 9 PM. But Richard and his group paid them a lot of money, so as long as the money is right, they're not inflexible about their principles.

The Golden Gong from the Nightwatchers's office had just been used to visit the guests inside, so the guests inside must not only be wealthy but also of high status. That's enough.

Tonight, things will not be peaceful in the Capital City. Henghui, transformed into a walking corpse, is on her way to seek revenge on her enemies.

Richard's expression shifted, and he projected an image onto the water mirror.

The scene shows Henghui storming into the Count Pingyuan Estate, instantly killing the Count Pingyuan's eldest son with a single punch, and then massacring the entire Count Pingyuan's family.

"It's too cruel." Mu Nanzhi couldn't bear to look and turned her head away, unable to bear it any longer. Although she had embarked on the path of cultivation, she had never seen such a cruel scene of slaughter before, so she was shocked by the sight and felt somewhat nauseous.

Of course, she also knew that Henghui was seeking revenge. The eldest son of the Count Pingyuan did indeed deserve to die, and since the Count Pingyuan had allowed his son to cause trouble, the son's debt had to be repaid by the father, so it was not unjust.

But Henghui's massacre of the Count Pingyuan Estate was not the end; he then headed towards the Zhang Family.

He certainly wouldn't let Zhang Yi, the culprit who killed him and Commandery Princess Pingyang, go.

Zhang Family, the Vice Minister of War, Henghui headed straight for their target, but the Nightwatchers arrived quickly, including several with Golden Gong. Soon after, the people from the Directorate of Astronomy also arrived, and the group fought Henghui to a standstill, resulting in both sides suffering heavy losses.

Henghui was unable to kill Zhang Yi and his father, Zhang Shen, the Vice Minister of War, and could only escape with serious injuries.
