1226: Chapter 1186: Failure 1226: Chapter 1186: Failure Wu Tongwei took a deep breath, looked towards his entourage, and said, “Quickly go back and notify everyone to conduct a round of inspections, especially those who have left the city recently.”

“Include those who fled back here after being attacked at the outposts outside the city.

Conduct a thorough investigation!”

“We must figure out exactly how many people have been possessed by evil spirits!

All of these are potential threats!”

“Yes, Honorable City Lord!”

The attendant shouted loudly and then hurriedly left.

Seeing this, Liu Xun also became tense.

“Has the situation inside the city been unsettled recently?

Is something big about to happen?”

He quickly approached Wu Tongwei to ask.

Wu Tongwei nodded gravely.

“That’s right, something big is indeed going to happen, a war!

What we are about to face is a war!”

Liu Xun took a deep breath, “War…

It’s been a long time since I’ve heard this word.

How large is the scale of the war?”

“A war involving tens of thousands of people.

It’s not small by any means, and the enemy is formidable – it’s the Lu Family Army.”

Liu Xun immediately widened his eyes, looking incredulously at Wu Tongwei, “What?

The Lu Family Army?

Why…

Why is this happening?

Why are we fighting the Lu Family Army?”

Wu Tongwei sighed helplessly, “You know that the Lu Manor in the city has been destroyed.

The current Lu Manor has lost control of the Lu Family Main Residence.”

“And Hei Jin City is still an important city.

So for the Lu family, they cannot tolerate such a thing happening.”

“Now you understand.

Sooner or later we will have to face such a war coming our way.

The Lu family will not spare us.”

Wu Tongwei spoke with a solemn expression, bearing the wrath of the Lu family was not something just anyone could withstand.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xun took a deep breath; he felt immense pressure inside.

Now he was Wu Tongwei’s ally, this was indisputable.

Moreover, his son had been saved by the people of the City Lord.

So for him, he was certainly going to stand on the City Lord’s side.

“If that’s the case, then the Liu Family will also prepare and join you in dealing with the enemy!”

Liu Xun said with conviction after some deep thought.

He still chose to stand with Wu Tongwei.

“Good, I appreciate your efforts.”

“I’ll take my leave first, I’ll come and see you if there’s any situation.”

Saying this, Wu Tongwei walked towards the entrance.

“Let me see you out.”

“No need, go take care of your son.

He’s recovering now.”

Wu Tongwei walked out.

Lu Chuan left with him.

After leaving Liu Mansion, they prepared to return to the City Lord’s Mansion.

“It seems that the chaos within our city has become more severe.

Before facing the external enemies, we need to manage the situation inside the city.”

Wu Tongwei looked at Lu Chuan and said sternly, “I think you need to take action now.

When it comes to dealing with evil spirits, I’m completely at a loss.”

Lu Chuan patted his chest, “Leave these trivial matters to me.”

“Right, my people have already started to check the list.

Anyone who has left the city recently and holds a significant position, we’re going to take a look.

If they have been possessed by an evil spirit, we’ll deal with it cleanly and decisively.”

The two of them returned together to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Just as they returned to the City Lord’s Mansion, the caretaker approached the City Lord.

“Honorable City Lord, the list you requested, we have compiled it.”

Wu Tongwei took the list, glanced it over, and smiled, “Well done.

Quick action, swift as thunder and fierce as a storm.”

“It’s what should be done.”

The caretaker said with a beaming smile.

Lu Chuan looked towards Wu Tongwei, asking, “How is the situation?”

“Not bad, there are a few important people on there, let’s go visit them.”

Wu Tongwei led out his warhorse and started to search for the individuals on the list together with Lu Chuan.

Walking on the street, Wu Tongwei looked at Lu Chuan and said, “Inside Hei Jin City, the City Guards have nearly a hundred thousand soldiers.”

“Among them, the main battle army accounts for sixty to seventy thousand men.”

“A huge army requires a set of systems for management.”

“Therefore, directly under my command, there are a total of five Generals.”

“They are all brave and adept at fighting, with great strength, holding high status throughout the entire city.”

“Now, two of them are on the list.

Let’s go take a look, if they are truly possessed by evil spirits, then we must act quickly.”

“If the possession occurs after the war starts, then the trouble could be too great!”

After hearing his words, Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Then let’s visit according to the list.”

Soon, the two arrived in front of a mansion.

Two fully-armed soldiers stood in front of the mansion’s gate.

Upon seeing Wu Tongwei’s arrival, the two soldiers immediately knelt down and said with a deep voice, “Welcome, Honorable City Lord, for your visit!”

“Rise.

How is your General doing?”

“The General has been in good health since returning from outside, with no oddities.”

“Did I hear that he dealt with an outpost attacked outside and even had some minor conflicts with the Lu Family Army?”

“That’s correct, there was a conflict, but our strength was sufficient, we repelled the enemy and returned successfully.”

Wu Tongwei nodded slightly, “I understand, open the gate; we are going in.”

“No problem!”

Subsequently, the gate slowly opened, and Wu Tongwei and Lu Chuan walked in.

After entering the mansion, the two headed towards the main house.

Seeing Wu Tongwei coming, the maidservant at the door of the main house hurriedly opened the door.

Wu Tongwei didn’t waste any words and strode into the house.

Then, he saw the General.

A burly man donned in iron armor, broad and sturdy, his physique epitomizing formidable combat prowess.

“Guan Yan, how are things?”

“Big Brother Wu, you coming to visit me, is there something going on?”

“General Guan, did you engage with the people from the Lu family outside the city?”

“Yes, there was a brief encounter, but their strength was mediocre; I repelled them and came straight back.

They are no big deal, if we have to fight them, there’s no need to worry too much.”

“What I want to say is not about that, but I want to ask if there’s anything abnormal with your body?”

Upon hearing this, Guan Yan’s eyebrows immediately furrowed, “Why would you ask that?

I feel fine, nothing strange.”

“Big Brother Wu, what exactly is the situation?

You don’t look so well.”

“Ah…

to tell you the truth, this is the situation.”

“People who returned from outside the city after encounters with Lu family attacks.”

“It’s possible that their bodies may be inhabited by evil spirits, which are nefarious souls.”

“They will lurk inside you, slowly absorbing your Spiritual Energy until the time is ripe; then they will take over your body!”

Guan Yan was taken aback upon hearing this, but soon after, he laughed and waved his hand, “How could that be possible?

That’s just too absurd!”

Wu Tongwei turned to look at Lu Chuan, “You do the test.”
