Tianjian City, City Lord Mansion.
Lu Jin'an sat openly in the City Lord's position, closing his eyes as he reviewed the information related to the Sun family of North Wulong Mountain once again.
He had been used by Sun Shaoheng, and he was very clear about it.
But he didn't care, because regardless of who used him, he would kill Sun Shaoyang.
Shooting arrows from the shadows is a bad habit.
"Senior Brother, long ti no..."
Sun Shaoheng, who was about to exchange pleasantries, was cut off by Lu Jin'an the next second.
"You openly supported Sun Shaoyang against Sun Ze, but in reality, Sun Ze was your smokescreen..."
Lu Jin'an opened his eyes and looked at Sun Shaoheng, lightly tracing the armrest of the chair with his fingertips: "Let guess, you used the fact that Sun Shaoyang hasn't stayed in the Wandao Sect to your advantage, letting him take action, right?"
Listening to Lu Jin'an's voice, Sun Shaoheng understood one thing in his heart: there were indeed spies from the Wandao Sect within the Sun family.
Perhaps not only in the Sun family, but other forces within the Chang'an Domain might also have Wandao Sect spies.
It could be soone's wife, a core upper echelon, or perhaps a certain tree spirit, a spiritual pet...
Sun Shaoheng was not very surprised, after all, the Chang'an Domain is the Human Clan's front line, and even though the Wandao Sect claid not to intervene in the affairs of various forces, how could they not take precautions?
As the Heavenly Pride of a Second Grade Family, Sun Shaoheng thoroughly understood this path; after all, what major force doesn't use such a combination of strength and softness?
The only thing that surprised him was that the Wandao Sect spies had such a high status, able to uncover such matters.
Who is it?
Who it is doesn't matter.
Sun Shaoheng imdiately suppressed his suspicion in his heart, for even if he knew who this person was, he could not act, could not adjust.
Trust was necessary.
After all, they wouldn't interfere with the internal affairs of the Sun family.
Sun Shaoheng smiled slightly: "Saint Heir's discerning eyes, between and the Second Ancestor..."
"Nothing more than a deal involving a branch entering the major sect."
Lu Jin'an interrupted Sun Shaoheng's voice, leaving Sun Shaoheng in direct silence.
He knew all this?
Oh, no, this must have been deduced by Lu Jin'an.
After all, the Wandao Sect couldn't possibly plant an Immortal as a spy, that would be too wasteful.
Sun Shaoheng took a deep breath, looking directly into Lu Jin'an's eyes: "I want to beco the Family Head of the Sun family, so I borrowed your hand to kill Sun Shaoyang."
Lu Jin'an remained silent, so Sun Shaoheng continued: "A great strife is arriving, whether it becos a catastrophe or an opportunity depends entirely on strength; I need the entire Sun family as my backing, and only I can lead the Sun family to a higher level.
Regardless of the future or the present, the Wandao Sect needs an external pawn, and I believe I can fulfill this role."
He paused, then continued: "The Buddhist Sect is entering the Chang'an Domain, and even though the Wandao Sect sent you, the Saint Heir, to handle the interests, such matters are the hardest to balance. I guess the ans you, the Saint Heir, use are nothing more than drawing so in and suppressing others...
If so, my Sun family is willing to be the vanguard, ready for your command, so when you pull us in, you need not make any guarantees."
He observed Lu Jin'an's expression, and then saw a smile appear on Lu Jin'an's face, which relieved him slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he realized that Lu Jin'an's smile held a hint of... mockery.
Sun Shaoheng's heart sank, quickly pondering what he might have misspoken, then heard Lu Jin'an say leisurely: "Do you think the Cultivation World is like the Human Dynasty? Or is it that after leaving the Wandao Sect and returning to the Sun family, you have beco accustod to using such thinking in your affairs, hmm?"
Lu Jin'an flicked his fingers, and spiritual power whizzed past Sun Shaoheng's head, directly shattering the jade crown he wore, causing a few strands of hair to flutter in the air.
"Even the emperors of the Mortal World know the principle of having troops under their command, like ascending to the Nine Heavens; you've been cultivating for so many years, and still think of using such thods?"
"If the Wandao Sect were just an ordinary first-class sect, your thod might indeed be useful, but with the words you've just spoken, do you look down upon the strength of the first Immortal Sect in the world?"
Sun Shaoheng hurriedly shook his head: "I wouldn't dare."
"Is that all you have to say?" Lu Jin'an stood up and walked over: "If that's all it is, then you should think about how to explain the matter of killing Sun Shaoyang to your family.
It's just as well; I can use this matter to move your Sun family out of the Chang'an Domain. See, doesn't the territory open up then?"
He patted Sun Shaoheng's shoulder and walked towards the door. As he approached the entrance, he suddenly heard Sun Shaoheng turning around and shouting loudly: "Saint Heir, I want to report sothing more than just this small matter.
I suspect Wu Biqiong is a Possessor from the Upper Realm!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin'an paused, turned around, and scrutinized Sun Shaoheng: "Suspect?"
"Yes." Sun Shaoheng took a deep breath: "Although I have feelings for her, I'm not a fool; this bitch was the one who incited to attack you, which is how I got the chance to use my elder brother.
Saint Heir, please think, you and this bitch have no enmity or resentnt. Why did she incite to take action?"
Lu Jin'an looked at Sun Shaoheng impassively, aware that this fellow had pursued Wu Biqiong for many years, which at best could be called deep feelings, or at worst, a fawning admirer.
So at this mont, hearing Sun Shaoheng say this was rather surprising to him.
"Saint Heir." Sun Shaoheng shrugged his shoulders: "I do like her, but I'm not an idiot. The Sun family is stronger than the Wu family, and I have my own goals. These past years, I've been giving her face, but now the Wu Family Ancestor is nearing death. What face do I still need to give her?"
As long as my Sun family swallows the Wu family, what is there that I cannot obtain?"
He paused again, then continued: "That's why I think it's necessary to voice my suspicion to you; she is very likely a Possessor from the Upper Realm!"
Lu Jin'an looked at Sun Shaoheng's serious expression: "You know the consequences of casually attributing such a cri to soone, don't you?"
