Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen’s Qi-Blood - Chapter 903

Chapter 903: Chapter 439: The Solution of the Lu Family People Chapter 903: Chapter 439: The Solution of the Lu Family People Qingshi City, atop the city walls.

The soldier clad in Iron Armor, with a sharp steel saber hanging at his waist, listened to his squad leader’s words, his brow involuntarily knitting together.

Although from his squad leader’s speech, he had learned where those people who suddenly appeared atop the city walls had come from,
But…

Those from the Lu Family, counted among the top ten elite family powers within the Inner City of Qingshi City,
Why had they suddenly sent so many family members atop these city walls at this moment? Just what were they planning to do?

Could it be that they merely wished to maintain the security near this city?

Or perhaps, they wanted to supervise them and see just how many people were attempting to enter Qingshi City?

The more the soldier in Iron Armor contemplated, the more his heart filled with doubts.

Even the overwhelming curiosity that filled his heart.

This led him to directly address his squad leader standing beside him.

Although he was very aware,
That his status did not afford him the right to ask these questions.

“Captain, since the Lu Family is both a major family power within the Inner City of Qingshi City and ranked among the top elite families, why then have they sent so many family members to our city walls? What do they aim to do?”

“Logically speaking, shouldn’t every aspect of life within the Inner City of Qingshi City be many times, even tens of times, better than our outer city?”

“But why…”

Before the Steel-Armored soldier could finish speaking,
The squad leader beside him, a figure both robust and imposing, faintly exuding an air of subdued ferocity, silently glanced at the youngster in front of him and then cut him off, warning in a low voice, “Since our duty is to keep the peace at this city gate, we should just quietly do our job. As for such questions, it’s better if we don’t know too much.”

Having said this, the captain of the ten-man squad paused slightly, then turned his gaze to the naive young man in front of him and continued in a lower voice, “I’m not saying this to criticize you, but matters like these are always extremely sensitive, and one misstep could lead to fatal consequences.”

“And as for the Lu Family, ranked among the top family powers within the Inner City of Qingshi City, the reason they have done this…”

Speaking so, the squad leader looked around to ensure no one was paying attention to them.

Then, with a hushed tone, he leaned toward the young man and said, “I’ve heard the reason the Lu Family has done this is mainly because the sole member from their family within the Brain Trust was betrayed by other members of the Brain Trust. To preserve that sole member’s position, and thus the family’s honor, the current Family Head of the Lu Family within the top echelon of Qingshi City…”

“…has dispatched a large number of family members, seeking to help the sole Lu Family member in the Brain Trust overcome this current predicament.”

With that statement,
The squad leader fell silent, speaking no more.

Simultaneously, he subtly moved away from the youth in front of him,
Seemingly aiming to avoid drawing attention.

After hearing these words, the soldier’s eyes widened.

If one observed closely, they could easily see,
At this moment, his eyes were filled with profound astonishment.

The Lu Family, Brain Trust, and the other members of the Brain Trust…

All of this seemed to be challenging the world view of the young soldier on guard duty.

Under normal circumstances, where would he have access to such significant matters?

Now, having learned of these events,
The young soldier seemed gradually to realize why his captain had spoken as he did.

Indeed, with such major issues,
An inadvertent slip could indeed result in their sudden demise.

Yes, ever since the Luo Family of Qingshi City, the absolute overlord, established various rules and laws,
In a city such as this, the cost of taking a life
Became infinitely high.

Under ordinary circumstances, people would weigh the cost against the benefit of committing murder and then abandon the idea.

But often, things are not so constant.

Take, for instance, this current affair.

If the Lu Family truly wished to silence those two individuals forever, it wasn’t completely beyond their capabilities.

After all, no matter how weak the Lu Family might be,
They still ranked among the top family powers within the Inner City of Qingshi City.

Their heritage and overall strength were formidable.

Even though, within the top families of Qingshi City’s Inner City, the Lu Family only ranked toward the bottom three.
