Capital.

Three days later.

Old Zhang excitedly walked into the bookstore, with a mysterious expression on his face, and said, “Little Liang, 1 want to tell you some good news. Last night, the former Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Xiao Rang, hanged himself in Sky Prison.”

Liang Sheng looked up at Old Zhang, who seemed to have noticed his doubts and said somewhat defensively, “What, you don’t believe me? My aunt’s son-in-law’s cousin’s distant relative is a favored concubine of a noble, and the news is absolutely reliable.”

Seeing that Liang Sheng was still expressionless and hadn’t reacted, Old Zhang was a bit annoyed. “You, what is the reason for our place being so deserted these days?

The reason is the fear of being implicated with him. Now that he’s gone, it means the trouble has come to an end, and with my experience, our business will be better in a couple of days.”

However, Liang Sheng still was still unmoved. Excited Old Zhang’s voice became quieter, only then realizing that Little Liang probably didn’t care about such things.

After all, his family’s business was rather small, so having more or fewer customers didn’t make much of a difference. The tone of his previous remark might have been a bit overboard.

Thinking about it, Old Zhang quickly changed the subject, “Little Liang, help me pick a children’s book for my son to go to a private school.”

Liang Sheng got up from the recliner, walked to the lower left corner of the bookshelf, took out a “Thousand Character Classic”, and handed it to Old Zhang. For the first time, Old Zhang actually took out a small piece of broken silver.

It was an unprecedented event.

Liang Sheng himself was a bit surprised. Stingy people are indeed willing to spend money on their children. However, at the next moment, Liang Sheng took back that thought.

Old Zhang sneakily picked up another book from the counter after paying. It seemed he thought the business was improving, so he wanted to prepare more paper for wrapping steamed buns.

Liang Sheng watched Old Zhang leave, shaking his head, and laid back down on the recliner. The Health Cultivation Method next to him had already been put away.

Given his current Innate Realm, it was very simple for him to start practicing the Health Cultivation Method from the beginning. In just three days, he was already close to breaking through to the Second Layer of the Ten Methods of Health Cultivation.

With this progress, his lifespan would subtly increase by one or two years. With such speed, he would probably reach the Ninth Layer in a few years, and by then, he would gain hundreds of years of life.

He wondered what level of cultivator could be on par with his longevity. However, he currently had no clue about the whereabouts of cultivation, so he could only continue waiting for the right opportunity.

But he wasn’t in a hurry. After all, what he lacked the least was time. Unconsciously, another day passed as he read and enriched himself.

As the sun set, Liang Sheng closed the doors and windows, intending to go to the Dusty Garden to relax. However, after a few steps, he immediately turned back.

Following that, there was a loud explosion from the east, and then thick smoke billowed. At this moment, Old Zhang came out and looked at the east with a worried expression.

“How unfortunate!”

If it were in any other direction, Old Zhang might have been excited, but the Eastern City was where many honored nobles and families lived, so there was certainly no peace.

While saying this, Old Zhang glanced at Liang Sheng. “Little Liang, don’t go out at night recently and return home early. What’s with all this trouble lately?”

After saying that, he drooped his head and prepared to close up and go home. But while the speaker might have meant nothing, Liang Sheng couldn’t help but touch his nose, feeling like he was a jinx, always causing trouble wherever he went.

Just like when he passed through a small town on his way to the capital, there happened to be a bandit raid. They were big thieves wanted in Three Prefectures and Five States. He helped to capture all the bandits.

Liang Sheng shook his head, feeling that it was all a coincidence. However, he saw Old Zhang act swiftly, preparing to go home and couldn’t help admiring how perceptive the citizens of the capital were.

Just by hearing a rustle in the grass, they knew something big was happening. At this moment, Liang Sheng didn’t have the mood and decided to go home directly.

At this moment, looking in the direction of the Eastern City, he was a little lost in thought. It was not yet night, and he had no intention of going there to join the commotion.

However, what exactly happened in the East City? This is the capital, right under the feet of the Heavenly Son, how could such a commotion occur?

East City.

Suddenly, there was an explosion in the Chu Royal Mansion, and amidst the fiery blaze, several masked men rushed out, followed by the frantic pursuit of the mansion’s guards.

If Liang Sheng were here, he would have instantly recognized one of them as Chen Sheng. At this moment, Chen Sheng had a calm expression, “Hurry, we have what we came for, don’t linger.”

The group seemed to have an understanding and scattered in different directions as soon as they left the mansion. Any palace guards in their way were beheaded with a single stroke.

These men were all nine-tiered experts, and the commotion in the mansion naturally attracted the attention of the Nine Cities Army Commander from the capital.

They were in charge of maintaining the capital’s security, and they rushed over like the wind, followed by the reinforcements from the Six Fan Gate. However, where were the traces of Chen Sheng and the others by this time?

At this moment, the Number One Constable of the Six Fan Gate, Yang Xu, frowned, but inwardly sighed in relief. Other than a few dead guards, His Lordship and the Princes were all unharmed.

At this moment, Chu King Ye Xiu’s face was extremely ugly. His prestigious royal palace had been invaded by remnants of the Lifeless Sect in broad daylight, which was a grave humiliation.

At this time, when the Nine Cities Army Commander arrived late, Commander Fu An had barely dismounted when he was whipped by Chu King Ye Xiu. However, he dared not dodge and took the lash stoically.

“Worthless! You’re all worthless!”

Although Ye Xiu wasn’t cursing at the Six Fan Gate, Yang Xu’s face was also extremely ugly, as the Lifeless Sect’s disturbance in the capital was a direct slap in the face of the Six Fan Gate.

“Your Highness, please calm down. Give me three days. 1 will definitely capture these remnants of the No-Life Evil Cult and bring them to justice.”

Hearing Yang Xu’s assurance, Ye Xiu’s mood slightly improved. Moreover, since Yang Xu was the Number One Constable of the Six Fan Gate and a Postnatal Ninth Layer expert, Ye Xiu didn’t want to be too harsh on him.

“Alright, Constable Yang, in consideration of your reputation, I will expect good news from you. Fu Bo, show our guests out.”

Fu An and Yang Xu exchanged bitter smiles. Fu An clasped his fists, “Constable Yang, today Fu owes you a favor. Tell me what to do, and my Nine Cities Army will cooperate fully.”

That day, the entire capital was on lockdown. The news of the Chu Royal Mansion being attacked spread throughout the capital quickly. It was said that the prefect of Jingzhao Mansion was summoned to the Taihe Hall alone, and his face was extremely ugly when he came out.

Afterward, all the officers from Jingzhao Mansion were deployed, cooperating with the Six Fan Gate and the Nine Cities Army Commander to search, focusing mainly on the West City and South City where the Three Teachers and Nine Streams resided.

In contrast, there was little commotion in the North and East cities. Although they also went door-to-door for inquiries, they were mostly very polite.

After all, they didn’t know the background of the people living here, so of course, they could only be courteous.

Fortunately, this case involved the Chu King, and nobody in the North City dared to cause trouble. They cooperated fully.

However, after a full day of extensive manhunts, they still came up empty-handed, not capturing any remnants of the Lifeless Sect. On the contrary, they caught quite a few thieves, who were all thrown into the prison cells of the Dali Temple.

However, before the situation in Chu King’s Mansion was clarified, water leaked into King Wu Ye Tai’s mansion that night, causing chaos all night long.

King Wu Ye Tai even entered the palace to complain overnight, and this time, His Majesty, the one of supreme authority in the Imperial City, was utterly enraged.

In the capital, under the feet of the Heavenly Son, the royal relatives had such experiences, which was a direct slap in the face of the Dayan Dynasty. Everyone in the capital trembled with fear.

This time, not only the Nine Cities Army Commander and the Six Fan Gate were dispatched, but the Five Armies Commander’s Mansion also received the imperial edict to thoroughly investigate the capital.

Storm clouds loomed, and the wind filled the building!
