536: Taoist name: Changsheng

Ever since Dragon Yunting submitted the evidence of Long Yu's patricide, the Dragon Emperor was furious.

The entire Fire Cloud Country knew about Long Yu's deeds.

Afterward, he successfully escaped and faced a nationwide manhunt.

Facing this matter, everyone thought that Long Yu must have already left the Fire Cloud Country.

After all, his strength was not weak, and having been the Ninth Prince for many years, he surely had other hidden resources.

But no one expected.

This former Ninth Prince, a fellow who once held great renown in Golden Cloud Immortal City, now only had a head remaining.

Some Cultivators felt like they were dreaming and unconsciously pinched themselves hard.

More Cultivators stared fixedly at the head, their faces filled with astonishment.

Then, they couldn't help but look at Zhou Luo, their gazes deep.

To be able to kill Long Yu, what was this fellow's background?

Unfortunately, with the help of the Dharma robe, no one could see through his true state.

As for the man who had wanted to invite him earlier, at this moment he felt his worldview had been completely overturned, standing there in a daze, his face blank.

"Who killed Long Yu?"

Just then, an aged voice sounded. Behind the counter, someone walked over in a hurry.

He heard that someone had killed this wanted criminal designated by the Dragon Emperor, so naturally, he couldn't sit still and immediately rushed over to confirm.

As soon as the Old Man appeared, the other Cultivators bowed in salute.

This person was none other than the head of the Enforcement Hall, Guangping Zhenren.

This Guangping Zhenren was a powerful Cultivator at the Golden Core Late Stage. He had lived in seclusion for many years and was not well-known.

But no one dared to question his strength.

Because back then, he had single-handedly killed multiple Demon Cultivators, and even a Demon Clan expert, earning the admiration of countless people.

Although he no longer appeared in public later, everyone remembered this top-tier Golden Core expert.

Now that the other party was also alerted, the others dared not speak even more.

Guangping Zhenren instantly arrived before Zhou Luo.

His gaze fell upon the head, and a trace of emotion flashed across his aged face.

"This is indeed Long Yu."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's bodies trembled, and a storm surged in their hearts.

Evidently, Long Yu was truly killed by the person before them.

This Prince, who was once revered by thousands and whom no one dared to look directly at, was thus held in someone's hand, dead beyond dead.

At this moment, many Cultivators felt somewhat in a trance.

"Daoist friend, please come inside and have a seat."

Just then, that Guangping Zhenren cupped his hands towards Zhou Luo and said.

One who could kill Long Yu must also be a Golden Core True Person.

Especially since even he couldn't see through the other party's disguise.

Therefore, the other party regarded him as a Fellow Daoist.

Zhou Luo didn't explain either.

Perhaps by relying on this identity of a fake Golden Core True Person, he could even receive more rewards.

So he just nodded.

"Goodness, who is this important figure? He actually killed even Long Yu."

"Who knows? But I'm more curious about what the reward for Long Yu is."

"Stop thinking about it. That's someone the Dragon Emperor personally wanted to apprehend. The reward is definitely generous, but it has nothing to do with us."

"No, when that important figure comes out, I must cling tightly to his leg."

...

When Zhou Luo left with that Guangping Zhenren, the hall immediately erupted in heated discussion.

Presumably, the news of Long Yu's death would soon spread throughout the entire Fire Cloud Country.

Just thinking about the reward the other party might receive from the Dragon Emperor made countless Cultivators extremely envious.

Behind the counter was a staircase.

Following the stairs, Zhou Luo followed Guangping Zhenren to a private room on the second floor.

"Please sit."

After entering the room, Guangping Zhenren very politely led him to a large vermilion chair nearby.

After Zhou Luo sat down, he also sat on the main seat and casually raised his hand, causing a cup of light clear tea to float down beside him.

The tea fragrance spread, making one feel refreshed and happy.

"I haven't asked for your Daoist friend's Daoist name yet," Guangping Zhenren asked aloud.

Almost all Golden Core True Persons would have their own Daoist names, which also made it convenient for others to address them.

In his sight, Zhou Luo's face was also blurred, and he couldn't sense the other party's strength level, which couldn't help but make him a little surprised.

He wondered if the other party might be an important figure from the Imperial City.

"Chang Sheng."

To avoid the other party's suspicion, Zhou Luo said this Daoist name without hesitation.

Regarding this Daoist name, it was actually something he came up with based on the name Xu Changsheng.

What he didn't know now was what kind of brilliance this Daoist name would radiate in the future.

"Chang Sheng?"

Guangping Zhenren muttered this Daoist name, only feeling that the name was a bit peculiar, and he seemed to have never heard of it before.

"It seems the other party is hiding their identity," he thought.

These days, there really wasn't anyone who dared to call themselves Chang Sheng Zhen Ren.

The two words 'Chang Sheng' involve the Heavenly Dao; people with weak fates cannot bear it.

Although Cultivators are said to be fighting against the sky, everyone emphasizes progressing step by step, moving forward steadily, not fighting the sky desperately from the start.

Therefore, ordinary Cultivators would not actively involve themselves with things related to Karma and destiny.

This was also why Guangping Zhenren felt that the other party was hiding their identity.

"Chang Sheng, could you please tell me in detail how you killed this rebellious subject and traitor?" Guangping Zhenren asked seriously.

The matter of Long Yu's patricide had long been widely spread throughout the entire Fire Cloud Country.

If this matter were in the dark, it would be alright.

After all, just the struggle for the throne alone would give rise to who knows how many similarly unbelievable things; Long Yu's case isn't even rare.

But when this matter was brought into the open, it was a huge loss to the prestige of the entire Royal Family.

Don't look at the Royal Family as the largest Immortal cultivation force in the entire Fire Cloud Country, controlling absolute power.

But in reality, who knows how many Immortal Sects and Sects wanted to seize imperial power.

This is somewhat like a certain dynasty in Zhou Luo's previous life, where the Fiery Cloud Royal Family established themselves as kings, and then other Immortal Sects and Sects were enfeoffed as feudal lords.

Ordinarily, the feudal lords followed the Royal Family's lead, but if the Royal Family were weak, the feudal lords would naturally become restless, wanting to carve up power.

Seemingly just simple patricide, it was a sign of disunity within the Fire Cloud Country's Royal Family.

If it couldn't be handled seriously, it would inevitably lead to many problems.

Therefore, on this matter, the Dragon Emperor showed an absolutely strong attitude.

As a subject, Guangping Zhenren naturally also deeply detested such matters.

Facing the inquiry, Zhou Luo told the other party the excuse he had already prepared.

The general content was also very simple.

That is, he met him on the road and then killed him.

Regarding this point, Guangping Zhenren didn't ask in detail; he was just doing it to complete his task.

"Since Chang Sheng has completed the bounty mission, please leave a communication talisman. When the reward arrives, I will notify you."

After speaking, Guangping Zhenren also mentioned the matter of the reward.

This bounty was different from others; because its significance was different, it had to be reported to the Dragon Emperor.

"How long will that take?" Zhou Luo asked.

"Absolutely no more than half a year," Guangping Zhenren vowed confidently.

"Okay." Zhou Luo nodded.

Half a year wasn't too long either.

Anyway, the Royal Family shouldn't be unable to even produce such a small reward.

After leaving the communication talisman, he left the Enforcement Hall.
