Chapter 105 Arrogant at First, Respectful Later
I heard a sound.
Lu Qingyun's eyes flickered as he cast his divine sense outside the cave.
A domineering cultivator in black robes raised an eyebrow and looked into the cave.
These days, Yunxia City is in complete chaos.
The entire family of the esteemed Vice Minister of Works vanished without a trace within the city, along with the city gate official stationed at the north gate.
Their soul lamps have all gone out.
The officials of Dayun are now living in fear, each worried that they will become the next Pei Zhao, the Vice Minister of Works, and be mysteriously killed at home.
Chen Shi munched on a chicken leg, glancing inside the cave. It was filled with flowers and plants. In these chaotic times, he hadn't expected that Daoist Yunxuan would still have such an interest.
He was determined to make Lu Qingyun pay a hefty price.
Although he did not believe that Pei Zhao's death was related to Lu Qingyun.
However, making money is not shameful.
Lu Qingyun came out.
Chen looked disdainful, but didn't stop eating the chicken leg in his mouth.
Lu Qingyun's cultivation level was a level lower than his.
People who are like this usually have to bow and scrape before them, otherwise, if one day he uses the guise of exorcising demons to blackmail others, the other party will suffer the consequences.
But when Lu Qingyun came out, he didn't bow or scrape at all, and didn't even move for a long time.
"Daoist Yunxuan, I was ordered to investigate the disappearance of Vice Minister Pei Zhao, but you seem uncooperative?"
Chen frowned, took a bite of the chicken leg in his hand, and said coldly.
"What do you mean by 'cooperation,' fellow Daoist? And what do you mean by 'non-cooperation'?"
Lu Qingyun remained calm, glancing at Chen Shi's arrogant demeanor with a half-smile.
Now that his cultivation has broken through to the half-step Foundation Establishment stage, he can appropriately reveal his cultivation level, so there's no need for him to deliberately hide it from a nobody like this Qi Refining Level 8.
Seeing Lu Qingyun's appearance only increased Chen Shi's dissatisfaction.
He had clearly indicated to Lu Qingyun that he should pay him money as tribute, but Lu Qingyun ignored him.
"Who gave a mere third-rate talisman master, at the seventh level of Qi Refining and barely capable of crafting high-grade talismans, the audacity to act like this?"
Chen's gaze grew increasingly hostile, and he said coldly:
"Daoist Yunxuan, don't pretend to be confused when you know the truth."
"I'll say it again, I'm here to investigate the disappearance of Vice Minister Pei, which has caused widespread panic throughout the city."
"Your uncooperative attitude suggests you've conspired with the Demonic Sect to betray our Great Yun and its people?"
A tall hat was placed on Lu Qingyun.
Chen Shi had already made up his mind that if Lu Qingyun said anything wrong, he would immediately show his Demon Exorcism Guard token and throw him into jail.
Thus, even though Lu Qingyun was a top-grade talisman master with the seventh level of Qi Refining, he could only suffer in silence, unable to express his bitterness.
The familiar black robe, the familiar arrogance.
Looking at Chen Shi's appearance, Lu Qingyun seemed to recall an old friend.
The black-robed deacon, like Chen Shi in front of him, also liked to wear a black robe.
"Fellow Daoist, are you aware that I am a high-grade talisman master?"
Lu Qingyun didn't even bother to explain, but instead asked a question in return.
"So what if you know? You're just a third-rate talisman master who's barely reached the upper level. What are you pretending to be? It seems I'll have to drag you into the Demon Extermination Guard's prison to teach you a lesson."
Chen was about to reveal his token immediately; he was completely impatient and unwilling to play these tedious word games with Lu Qingyun any longer.
The Demon Exorcism Guard token at his waist, which was responsible for recording everything, had already recorded his conversation with Lu Qingyun. These records were enough for him to convict Lu Qingyun of a serious crime.
"Understand? Sorry, I really don't understand."
Lu Qingyun gave a cold laugh.
Then, a high-grade [Sword Light Talisman] instantly appeared, transforming into streaks of sword light that shot towards the courtyard.
boom!
Chen's pupils constricted, and he dropped the chicken leg in his hand in fright.
As the smoke and dust cleared, a huge crater, several meters wide, immediately appeared in the courtyard.
"This...this..."
Chen stammered, his face flattering, a stark contrast to his previous arrogance.
In Dayun.
Ordinary high-grade talisman masters are merely respected.
However, if one can refine a high-grade talisman for killing and destruction, one can be said to have entered the inner sanctum of the talisman art.
From this point on, her status will be equivalent to that of those great figures who have achieved perfect cultivation.
Chen smiled obsequiously:
"Master Yunxuan, if you had said earlier that you weren't just a newcomer to the high-grade talisman master realm, how could I have dared to offend you!"
"This is truly a case of 'the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple,' like family members not recognizing each other!"
