561: I don't dare? I can't kill you!
Shen Bei continued to stir up trouble to activate his daily calculation panel.
He led a group of Night Watchers, rampaging through the Imperial City, and arrived at the Lu Family.
Without a word, they immediately surrounded it!
Not even a fly would be able to escape!
The Lu Family soon learned they were encircled, and the Lu Family Head quickly stormed out, full of anger. When he saw Shen Bei at the forefront, he showed no respect and directly reprimanded him, "Where did this greenhorn come from, daring to act so presumptuously in front of my Lu Family!"
Shen Bei looked at Lu Fang, the Lu Family Head, and said, "The Night Watchers have investigated and found that the Lu Family instructed the Qiu Sect to kill many people in Liu Lane, and also killed many Cultivators in villages surrounding the Imperial City. Please come with me and explain everything clearly."
Shen Bei's words caused an uproar.
Shen Bei had actually investigated and found out, and it was the Lu Family. How powerful and influential was the Lu Family, yet they did such a thing. While surprised, everyone was also furious; taking people's heart's blood was simply beastly.
Lu Fang's face couldn't help but show a hint of panic when Shen Bei exposed the matter, but he quickly regained his composure and sternly reprimanded, "Greenhorn, what nonsense are you spouting? What kind of people are we, the Lu Family, that you can slander and frame us?"
Shen Bei glanced at the other party, scoffing, "If you don't want others to know, don't do it. The thatched hut outside the city, you sent people to kill the intermediary between you and the Qiu Sect, thinking you could silence them. But you didn't know that the Night Watchers have been watching you all along. Everything your Lu Family has done has been under the Night Watchers' scrutiny these past few days."
Lu Fang's expression changed drastically: "How could this be? How could you Night Watchers investigate the Lu Family!"
Lu Fang truly couldn't accept it. The Lu Family had acted secretly in this matter; everything was done through an intermediary, so the Qiu Sect couldn't have known it was the Lu Family. Why would the Night Watchers suspect the Lu Family and keep an eye on them?
"Weren't you suspecting the Feng Family..." Lu Fang stared at Shen Bei and uttered this sentence, but stopped halfway, glaring at Shen Bei with resentment.
"Just a feint. I just felt that bad people like you, after being startled, would be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, and would definitely reveal some clues."
Lu Fang's face grew even uglier as his thoughts were exposed, but of course he wouldn't admit it: "To accuse someone of a crime, one can always find an excuse. What kind of grudge do my Lu Family and the Night Watchers have that you would frame us like this?"
Shen Bei chuckled, looking at Lu Fang and saying, "It's useless for you to argue further. As for you saying the Night Watchers are framing you, that's even more ridiculous! What do my Night Watchers rely on after existing for so many years? The two words 'credibility' are as heavy as Mount Tai. Ask the people of the Imperial City, do they believe my Night Watchers or your Lu Family."
Shen Bei's words were forceful and carried a hint of disdain.
But when Shen Bei said this, not a single person in the crowd felt there was a problem. When Shen Bei declared the Lu Family as the culprits, they had already believed him.
Not for any other reason, but because of the Night Watchers' years of credibility. In the Imperial City, the most disciplined are the Night Watchers. The Night Watchers are transcendent precisely because they have always acted according to established rules.
Therefore, the Night Watchers are both fearsome and not fearsome.
They are fearsome if you have a handle for them to grasp, then it is truly terrifying.
They are not fearsome if you are upright; then, even if you spit in their face, the Night Watchers cannot do anything to you.
Lu Fang naturally knew this. His face was incomparably grim, but even so, he still insisted on angrily rebuking, "My Lu Family has not done anything, and you shouldn't try to smear us."
Shen Bei said nothing more, directly throwing a piece of paper in front of Lu Fang: "Do you want me to read them out one by one, and present all the evidence before you, or do you want a little dignity and come with me now?"
Lu Fang only glanced at the records on the paper and knew that the Night Watchers had indeed investigated thoroughly.
"Ridiculous, not to mention that you Night Watchers are framing us. Even if it were true, you Night Watchers have no right to demand anything of me. You Night Watchers, go catch the Demonic Path Practitioners evil doers instead." Lu Fang said with a hint of sarcasm.
He was the Royal Consort's maternal uncle. Killing a few commoners was troublesome, but did the Night Watchers really think they could deal with their Lu Family like this?
Shen Bei looked at the other party and said, "If you don't cooperate, then don't blame me for taking direct action."
"You dare!" Lu Fang's eyes widened.
"It seems you've grown accustomed to special privileges." Shen Bei spat, then ordered Ren Chuan and the others, "Arrest them, especially that Young Master Lu Yuan. He likely still has a lot of heart's blood to prolong his life; search thoroughly."
Ren Chuan and the others exchanged glances; they had never before stormed the residence of such influential figures. However, seeing Shen Bei's nonchalant expression, they ultimately moved forward.
They couldn't bear it! But Shen Bei had a Great Cultivator of Divine Power Realm behind him! What was there to fear?
Thus, Shen Bei's identity gave them courage, and with imposing Aura, they were about to charge forward.
"How dare you!" Lu Fang roared, and many Cultivators from the Lu Family rushed out to confront the Night Watchers.
"Please remember your identities. We are not within your jurisdiction. Not to mention we haven't committed such a crime, even if we had, it would be the Royal Guard's responsibility. What does this have to do with you? You Night Watchers, just deal with Demonic Path Practitioners individuals and evil spirits."
That one sentence made the Night Watchers stop.
The responsibility of the Night Watchers was the Demonic Path Practitioners individuals and evil spirits. Although the Lu Family colluded with Demonic Path Practitioners individuals, their identity was sensitive, and they couldn't be completely ignored.
Everyone watching this scene couldn't help but sigh. The powerful were still powerful, and even the Night Watchers were constrained in their actions.
With their status as semi-Royal relatives, if this were handed over to the Royal Guard, it would most likely end up unresolved.
This won't do, this isn't delaying me from activating the panel?
"Taking lives and still being so arrogant." Shen Bei looked at Lu Fang, shook his head, and said, "I'm too lazy to say so much to you. Since you choose to resist stubbornly, then I can only choose to attack by force."
After Shen Bei finished speaking, he ordered Ren Chuan and the others: "I will take all responsibility! Bring all relevant personnel of the Lu Family back!"
Although the Night Watchers were apprehensive, since Shen Bei said he would take full responsibility, they naturally had nothing to say.
"Yes!"
The Night Watchers surged forward, and when Lu Fang saw this, he glared furiously at Shen Bei, while shouting to the Cultivators in his Family: "Stop them."
Many Cultivators of the Lu Family held weapons, confronting the Night Watchers.
Seeing this, Shen Bei scoffed and said to Ren Chuan and the others, "Those who dare to obstruct the Night Watchers from carrying out their duties will be punished with death, no mercy!"
"Yes!"
The Night Watchers also had tempers. A criminal Family dared to draw swords against them, flaunting their power in front of them. How could they tolerate it? They instantly charged forward!
Every Night Watcher was meticulously selected, each possessing formidable strength. How could the Lu Family members be their opponents? The first few who charged forward were directly decapitated, their heads flying and smashing to the ground, leaving a pool of blood.
This scene made the onlookers swallow their saliva, looking at the many Night Watchers with admiration.
They hadn't expected the Night Watchers to be so resolute, actually daring to confront the Lu Family, completely disregarding their status as semi-Royal relatives. In all their years in the Imperial City, this was the first time they had witnessed such a sight.
Everyone's gaze couldn't help but turn to Shen Bei; it was clear to all that this was all due to the young man's assertiveness.
Lu Fang hadn't expected the Night Watchers to dare to do this; he was also somewhat stunned.
But seeing the Lu Family Disciples being continuously killed, his eyes were bloodshot, and he erupted with his power as a ninth-rank Cultivator, his True Qi surging, baring his fangs and claws, looking at Shen Bei: "Stop, or I'll beat you to death!"
