Facing his subordinate’s words, Mo Tianji’s expression was extremely calm.
Logically speaking, the inspector of Xingyun County should have a strength comparable to or only slightly weaker than the Earl of Xingyun, at least possessing the prowess of a Great Grandmaster.
Otherwise... how to investigate?
But Mo Tianji is different, although only at the peak of the Grandmaster level, he has a mighty presence behind him.
This presence is someone even the Earl of Xingyun dares not offend, and it is precisely because of this that Mo Tianji can become the inspector of Xingyun County.
Mo Tianji smiled faintly, "Earl Xingyun is, after all, one of the founding nobles, we should at least show some respect to his words."
Mo Tianji’s expression turned slightly cold.
"Having stayed in Xingyun County for so long, upon investigation... it seems our Earl of Xingyun has forgotten how he initially assisted the Emperor in his rise to power."
"Xingyun County needs to be reformed, but exactly who should be reformed... that’s another matter entirely!"
As Mo Tianji spoke, a touch of mystery flickered in his eyes, causing his subordinates to exchange glances, realizing there was a different undertone in his words.
"Let’s go, let’s take a look at this Fengxing County Viscount."
"To dominate an entire county, among these second-generation viscounts, he is truly a prodigy!"
Mo Tianji spoke with a strong interest playing at the corners of his lips.
Luo Family, secret chamber!
Lu Sheng sat quietly in the secret chamber.
Thanks to the cautious resources of the Luo Family, coupled with resources from the Zhao and Li families, Lu Sheng was entering a stage of frenzied advancement.
Bursts of powerful Physical Power surged from Lu Sheng’s body, accompanied by the faint sound of dragon roars echoing around.
The entire secret chamber was filled with an oppressive atmosphere.
Qi Blood roared like a dragon. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on NovєlFіre.net
Then, Lu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, and a unique aura of the fourth-tier Grandmaster realm surged from his body.
Moments later, Lu Sheng exhaled a long breath, a smile starting to spread across his lips.
"Finally... broken through to the Grandmaster realm!"
Lu Sheng spoke softly, a unique gleam flashing in his eyes.
"After reaching the Grandmaster realm, it’s a considerable achievement within the entire Wei Dynasty, even among some first-generation viscounts, they’re merely at the Grandmaster level, making me a standout among second-generation viscounts!"
"Plus my essence... even against a peak Grandmaster, while perhaps not winning, I can still hold my ground!"
"Now I am... invincible below the rank of an Earl!"
Lu Sheng declared with unparalleled confidence emanating from him.
If anyone else said this, they would be considered foolish.
But Lu Sheng is different; his eighth-tier Cosmic Life Form essence, in this world, is on par with a Martial God.
Even the three Martial God warriors of the Martial Arts Realm...
Are easy targets for Lu Sheng.
After all, before entering the Martial Arts Realm, Lu Sheng was already at the late eighth-tier, with even his Dao Insights at level five.
This level is far beyond anything the Martial Gods of the Martial Arts Realm can match.
"After becoming a Grandmaster, even more resources are needed, especially with the Martial Arts Realm’s cultivation system; merely relying on resources is insufficient, what’s needed... is a place for Physical Body tempering!"
A faint light flickered in Lu Sheng’s eyes.
The Physical Body tempering sites refer to special locations that can enhance a martial artist’s physical body, but such places are extremely rare.
Even the weakest Physical Body tempering site isn’t something a viscount can enjoy; in the Wei Dynasty, it is reserved for nobles of Earl and above.
In the entire Xingyun County, only the Earl of Xingyun possesses one Physical Body tempering site, and it’s just the lowest grade.
"Physical Body tempering site... the Earl of Xingyun..."
Lu Sheng’s eyes slightly narrowed, contemplation emerging on his face.
"The Earl of Xingyun is still a peak Great Grandmaster, not easy to contend with. Plus, he has the court backing. If I were to act against him, it could anger the Wei Dynasty, which is no small matter!"
"This issue... is a bit troublesome!"
Lu Sheng rubbed his temple, feeling somewhat troubled.
Although, without a Physical Body tempering site, Lu Sheng could still improve with his panel, the speed would slow down.
To Lu Sheng, being able to speed up is always preferred.
While Lu Sheng was pondering, suddenly his brow slightly furrowed.
"Hmm? A peak Grandmaster? Along with several Grandmasters and innate martial artists, have entered the Fengxing County territory?"
A hint of surprise appeared on Lu Sheng’s face.
"Could it be... people from the Earl of Xingyun’s residence?"
Lu Sheng pondered briefly, a trace of killing intent flashing in his eyes, then he walked straight out of the secret chamber, heading towards the Luo Family residence’s outside.
Outside Fengxing County, Mo Tianji, with a group of subordinates, had already arrived in Fengxing County.
Looking down at Fengxing County, Mo Tianji smiled slightly and then motioned for his subordinates to follow him into Fengxing County, heading towards the Luo Family residence.
But just as Mo Tianji reached the Luo Family’s entrance, he saw an elder of the Luo Family standing at the gate, smiling at everyone.
"Gentlemen... our patriarch invites you!"
Upon hearing the elder’s words, a hint of surprise flashed across Mo Tianji’s face, followed by a slight curve at his lips.
"It seems... I’ve underestimated this second-generation viscount!"
Mo Tianji chuckled, not showing any concern, and led his subordinates into the Luo Family residence.
Guided by the elder, Mo Tianji saw Lu Sheng sipping tea in the hall.
Upon Mo Tianji’s arrival, Lu Sheng stood up, smiling gently at him, "May I ask... are you from the Earl of Xingyun’s residence, or from the court?"
Lu Sheng asked, directing his gaze at Mo Tianji.
This question was asked because Lu Sheng could tell there was no killing intent from Mo Tianji, so he was likely not from the Earl’s residence.
Mo Tianji, while observing Lu Sheng, smiled and said, "They say the Fengxing County Viscount is profligate, but upon meeting... you seem to endure humiliation and radiate with brilliance!"
Lu Sheng smiled slightly and directly asked, "Why exactly have you come here?"
