As the words "Miss" escaped her lips, everyone below couldn't help but turn their gazes to Luo Qiu and then to the person on the back of the spiritual crane.
She called that person "Miss"? So, this highly - ranked alchemist was actually someone else's maid?
Master Lu's legs went weak on the spot.
Zhao Shuning naturally didn't have much time to waste here. It seemed that something unexpected had happened in Jiangning City. The commotion caused by those business associations was too great. Yang Hun hadn't been able to suppress it for the time being.
To prevent the situation from getting out of hand, he seemed to have resorted to force.
She had informed them before that if anything went wrong during the demonstration tonight, they should set off three fireworks. Now, three fireworks were soaring into the sky in the direction of Jiangning City. It seemed that Jiangning City was in chaos.
They had involved themselves in this struggle because of Ling Xiao, and Ling Xiao had done it to help her. So, Zhao Shuning wouldn't just stand by and watch those who fought for her get hurt.
At this moment, she had to rush back to Jiangning City.
Luo Qiu and Zhao Shuning had known each other for a long time. They had lived together for a long time in their past lives. So, with just a glance from Zhao Shuning, Luo Qiu understood.
"Miss, don't worry. I can handle things here."
Zhao Shuning nodded.
"Pull out the big tree behind them. This Cangwu Kingdom is also my aunt's kingdom. We'll get rid of that worm completely."
"I understand, Xiao Qiu."
"I'll leave it to you."
"Okay, Miss. Don't worry."
Zhao Shuning nodded.
The spiritual crane then carried Zhao Shuning and Lin Miner and flew towards Jiangning.
After Zhao Shuning left, the smile on Luo Qiu's face vanished.
She turned around again and waved her hand gently. The protective shield shattered.
"Do you want to run?"
She glanced at everyone.
Master Lu said, "Do you really think you're being kind?"
"You have ten seconds."
"You don't—"
"Ten!"
"You!"
"Eight—"
Hearing this, everyone rushed towards the courtyard gate. Master Lu, with his powerful spiritual energy, directly flew into the air on his sword.
Of course, he wanted to run.
In no time, Master Lu's figure had left the main courtyard.
"His spiritual energy is quite good, but unfortunately, he's a woman. Her mind just isn't sharp enough. She's too underestimating."
The Master Lu in the Taoist robe hadn't even had time to feel happy when...
Suddenly, a long vine stretched out from behind and quickly wrapped around his body. Then, his eyes widened. He wanted to move forward, but he couldn't move an inch.
Then, his body was quickly dragged backward by the vine.
When he finally landed, he vaguely heard Luo Qiu's voice.
"One."
The woman slowly walked towards the center. Her red lips parted slightly, looking extremely charming.
"Time's up."
As these words fell, all those lecherous men who had taken the opportunity to put their hands on her waist while surrounding her were instantly blown into blood foam.
Yes, in an instant.
Even Master Lu, who had seen many great scenes, was terrified by this sight.
He stared blankly in the direction of the courtyard gate.
There, it was bloody. Dozens of lives had vanished in that moment.
The smell of blood filled the air.
He looked at the woman again. There was not the slightest change in her eyes.
She had killed so many people at the same time. She was a woman. How could she be so indifferent?
No, not indifferent. There seemed to be excitement in her eyes.
Master Lu was scared.
At this moment, his body was bound by the vine. This vine was covered with the woman's powerful spiritual energy, making it impossible for him to break free.
Even self - detonation was out of the question.
He activated his spiritual energy and tried his best to concentrate it, but he found that...
At some point, the formation set up in Jiulongzhuang to restrict his spiritual energy had been broken by someone?
"Every alchemist's self - detonation is indeed very dangerous, but your tricks are nothing in my sister's eyes."
When the woman mentioned the word "sister", there was an undeniable pride on her face.
Master Lu was afraid. He kept kicking his feet on the ground.
"I know you're from the Zhao family. I heard from Yang Hun that Lin Miner was captured by him. It has nothing to do with me. If you want to find someone, go find him. Your Zhao family is a great family in the Eastern Ze Wilderness. You have a close relationship with Shui Yunsheng. You're all famous and upright families on this Kyushu Continent. Aren't you afraid of tarnishing the reputation of the Zhao family by killing so many people tonight?"
Hearing this, Luo Qiu stopped.
She said, "Who would know that the deaths of these people are related to the Zhao family?"
"Yes, and you."
Luo Qiu continued, "Do you think you can survive?"
She gently pointed her slender index finger, and countless blue veins began to bulge on Master Lu's hands.
"Don't kill me. I'll do anything you ask."
Just when the bulging veins were about to reach their limit, Luo Qiu suddenly stopped.
"Really?"
"Yes, really. As long as you don't kill me, I'll do anything."
Luo Qiu said again, "To be honest, I'm not from the Zhao family either. I'm just a maid beside my miss. Killing you actually won't do me much good. Tell me, what useful information do you have that can save your worthless life?"
When Master Lu heard that he might be saved, his eyes began to dart around quickly.
He said, "Do you want to become the prime minister who holds power in the Cangwu Kingdom, be loved by thousands of people, and control the lives and deaths of the masses?"
"What do you mean?"
"I know that your miss asked you to find out about the noble person behind me before. But as humans, we all want to climb higher. Miss Qiu Qiu, I'm sure you don't want to be a maid who's ordered around by your miss forever. Well, I'll tell you the secret of the prime minister. You can use this to make a deal with him. With your ability, it's just a matter of time before you subdue the prime minister."
"Then why should I keep you? What use are you to me?"
Luo Qiu's expression at this moment clearly showed that she was interested in this matter.
"I'm definitely useful. When you take that position and control the Prime Minister's Mansion, I can take care of all the affairs in Jiangning City for you. All my earnings, eight - tenths, no, all of them will be handed over to you."
Luo Qiu's expression was thought - provoking.
"I don't believe you know so much."
"If you don't believe me, you can read the images in my mind. I can prove that I'm useful to you."
As a ninth - rank alchemist, Luo Qiu could read other people's memories. But for a high - rank alchemist like Master Lu, who protected his memories very carefully, no matter how capable Luo Qiu was, she couldn't fully understand his deepest memories.
Unless...
he himself agreed.
Now, this was an opportunity. This was also the reason why Luo Qiu didn't just kill Master Lu from the beginning.
