It was dark down there, and the air was filled with a faint musty smell, with a hint of blood.
Lu Changsheng walked down the stairs slowly.
Not long after, a large prison appeared in front of him.
There were more than ten figures imprisoned in the prison.
One of the women was wearing a white long skirt, which was very gorgeous, and the jewelry on her head looked very expensive.
. Beside the woman stood a maid in a yellow skirt.
The two looked a little panicked.
Seeing someone appear, the people in the prison were frightened at first, but after seeing who it was, they were instantly overjoyed.
"It's the Lord from the Demon Suppression Division."
A group of people cried with joy.
Seeing the official uniform of the newcomer, they immediately realized someone was coming to rescue them. After living
in this dark dungeon, living in constant fear, they finally had a chance to escape, and the group was thrilled.
"Excuse me, are you Miss Du Ling?"
Lu Changsheng asked the elegantly dressed woman with a smile, slicing the lock off the door with a single blow.
He didn't recognize the county magistrate's daughter, but seeing her attire and demeanor, he had some suspicions and asked bluntly.
"I am Du Ling. May I ask your name, sir? Thank you for coming to our rescue."
Du Ling bowed politely, smiling, though a hint of strangeness lingered in the corner of her eyes.
"My name is Lu Changsheng. Miss Du is very polite,"
Lu Changsheng smiled.
"Let's all head to the surface together."
Just as the women in the prison were about to leave, a crisp reminder chimed in from the depths of Lu Changsheng's mind.
"Warning, warning, sensing an unknown energy field..."
Lu Changsheng's heart trembled, but his expression remained calm.
He calmly led everyone to the ground.
Soon, a group of people arrived on the ground.
Many warriors from the surrounding counties also saw Du Ling, and their faces were full of regret.
"Haha, Brother Lu is lucky."
A group of people quickly stepped forward.
"Congratulations, Brother Lu."
"It was all just luck."
Lu Changsheng smiled slightly and greeted everyone.
Then he slowly left the group of women, and the prompt tone no longer came to his mind.
"There is a big problem among those women."
He confirmed it in his heart instantly.
"Could it be Du Ling? Or any other woman?"
The thought flashed through his mind, and he suspected that someone had tampered with Du Ling. No other woman was so valuable that those people would do this.
Thinking of this, he felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.
If the other party had really tampered with something and suddenly attacked at the critical moment, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Could it be the plan of that lord? Or is it the back-up plan of the Wenxiang Sect?"
His mind was working rapidly.
As for searching for Du Ling, that was even more unrealistic.
The other party was not an ordinary woman who could be touched at will. Even his immediate superior was one level lower than the county lord.
The lord of a county still had great power in the entire county.
What's more, Du Ling was the only daughter of the county lord and was loved by him in every way.
It's like in the capital, the old emperor may have hundreds of princesses, most of whom are not favored, and have never even seen the emperor. The county magistrate of Changping County has only one daughter. If he investigates, wouldn't that be courting death?
As for reporting to his superiors, he thought about it and suppressed the idea.
Without evidence, it is a false accusation. If nothing is found, he will be the one in trouble.
Lu Changsheng decided to put the matter aside for the time being and slowly investigate it after he becomes stronger.
He suspected that some people had spent such a huge price and they probably had an astonishing purpose.
"In the future, I will have to stay away from the county magistrate's mansion."
In an instant, Lu Changsheng's thoughts turned.
Just as Lu Changsheng was thinking, Wei Shaoxuan suddenly came over.
"The mission was successfully completed. Thank you all for your hard work."
"You are too polite, Commander Wei."
Everyone was smiling.
Then a group of people walked quickly towards the county town.
...
Two days later.
In the morning, the sun was rising.
In the living room of the county government office.
"Brother Lu is indeed a hero from his youth. He is so powerful at such a young age."
Du Wentao took a sip of tea with a smile on his face.
The man was dressed in Confucian clothes, and his graying temples made him look more elegant.
The two of them were not meeting formally, so the other party naturally did not wear an official uniform.
"Your Excellency is too kind to praise me. I dare not accept it."
Lu Changsheng smiled and was very humble.
In his opinion, Du Wentao was not an ordinary character. He
had sat firmly on the position of county lord in a few years, suppressed several powerful families, and unified the forces of all parties. His skills were quite brilliant.
Even several deputy hall masters had to admire this man.
Coupled with the support of the commander of the Xuanjia Army, his power in the entire county is unmatched.
At this time, Du Wentao took out an exquisite wooden box and handed it to Lu Changsheng.
"There is a secret method in it, which I will give to Brother Lu. This thing was entrusted to me by a friend many years ago. I hope you don't disgrace it..."
He looked nostalgic, and his eyes seemed to drift into the distance.
"I will definitely live up to the trust of the county lord."
Lu Changsheng nodded with a smile and took the wooden box.
Then the two of them communicated for a while, and Lu Changsheng got up and left.
Just as Lu Changsheng walked out of the hall, a man in white walked out.
"How is it?"
Du Wentao's eyes moved slightly.
"Full of energy and spirit, calm temperament, not bad."
The man in white smiled slightly.
"I didn't expect to receive such praise from you. The situation is getting more and more bizarre now. Time is running out for him. I hope he can grow up quickly. This secret method can be regarded as a good relationship..."
Du Wentao sighed softly.
Decades ago, his entire family was massacred, which was his eternal pain.
He vowed to make the Black Mountain Thieves pay for their blood debt with blood.
Now that the other party has colluded with the Wenxiang Sect, it will probably be even more difficult to deal with.
However, no matter how difficult it is, he must completely wipe out these two forces.
"I wonder if my sister is okay?"
Du Wentao has been looking for his younger sister all this time, but there has been no news.
After the family was wiped out that day, his younger sister's body was not found, and this incident became the biggest regret in his heart.
...
In the afternoon,
Lu Changsheng sat in his study and opened the wooden box.
A yellowed ancient book lay quietly in the center of the box.
Three large red characters were written on the cover.
"Triple Waves."
Lu Changsheng looked a little curious. He immediately took out the secret book and began to flip through it.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
The air was quiet, with only the sound of him flipping through the pages.
A moment later,
Lu Changsheng closed the secret book, his eyes flickering slightly.
"I've discovered the secret book Triple Waves. Do you want to include it?"
"Include."
He nodded without hesitation.
Open the panel.
Skill: Triple Waves (not yet mastered).
Note: Circulates Qi and blood throughout the body like ocean waves, stacking three times to increase the user's strength and speed. Upon completion, the power is considerable.
Technique Rating: Three Stars.
After reading the entire tome, Lu Changsheng discovered that this was an extremely powerful technique.
Far more powerful than the Burning Blood Technique.
His own fully-completed Burning Blood Technique only increased his strength by about 20%.
He estimated that the "Triple Wave" technique, upon completion, would likely increase his strength by about 40%, a truly formidable achievement.
Among high-level techniques, it was considered a pinnacle, and perhaps not far from the true pinnacle.
This County Master was quite a person; he owed him a favor this time.
However, that wasn't a bad thing.
Favors are a matter of mutual exchange, and a friendship naturally develops.
Cultivating a good relationship with the other party would also bring significant benefits.
Since the other party had such intentions, he wouldn't be ungrateful.
Lu Changsheng could also guess that the other party had some investment in the matter
