Peerless Taoist

The registrar understood what Lu Yu meant. He immediately took out the official document Lu Yu had read before and handed it to Lu Yu.    

At the same time, the registrar glanced at the contents of the official document.    

The Spirit Province's Martial Li Market was reporting that a portion of the Demonic Beast in the store had been poisoned to death this morning. It was suspected that it had been caused by eating poisonous feed. Currently, the store had sent people to investigate the feed.    

This official document was not important, because only the Demonic Beast had been poisoned to death. It was possible that someone had accidentally mixed the poison into the Demonic Beast's feed, so the shop could handle such a small matter. They only needed to inform Lu Yu.    

"When did you report this?" Lu Yu asked.    

"It's already early in the morning."    

Lu Yu frowned and suddenly stood up. "Prepare the carriage and go to the Tianping Square."    

Tianping Square?    

The registrar looked at Lu Yu in surprise, but as his deputy, he knew Lu Yu's words were unquestionable. He quickly went to prepare the carriage.    

The carriage carried the two of them and quickly arrived at Tianping House.    

This was a relatively remote area in the Spirit Province. It was close to the city wall, so it was not very conspicuous.    

Usually, there weren't many people here, but after being surrounded by evil cultivators, a large number of cultivators were transferred into the garrison, and the number of people here was even smaller. Even during the day, it was rare to see people.    

The carriage stopped in front of a courtyard house, and soldiers immediately came to check it out.    

This was a water source in the Spirit Province.    

Whether it was a mortal city or a cultivator city, water sources were all extremely important places.    

At the start of the war, Lu Yu sent people to set up camp near the water source. The places close to the water source were basically double the usual sentry posts, and the security was extremely tight.    

Every morning, there would be soldiers using magic tools to fetch water from the water source, and then circulate it outside. During this period, there were also specially assigned people to monitor, and each step was guarded very strictly.    

"So it's the Prefecture Overseer, please come in!"    

When the soldiers outside saw that it was Lu Yu, they did not stop him and immediately let him in.    

Lu Yu asked, "Other than me, is there anyone else coming in today?"    

The soldier shook his head. "Other than you, no one else came close to the source of the water."    

Lu Yu nodded and went inside the house.    

As soon as he entered the house, a strong water element hit him. He could hear the sound of waterfalls falling from afar.    

The entire house had been set up by a huge geomancy formation, and fresh water continuously gushed out from the ground.    

Lu Yu checked his surroundings, and found that there were soldiers guarding the surroundings. In the open, in the dark, everything was guarded in an orderly manner.    

"Sir, are you worried that someone will tamper with this place?" The registrar finally voiced his doubts.    

Usually, if Lu Yu were to handle any matter, even if it was urgent, he would only make a review and let his subordinates handle it.    

It was definitely not a small matter for Lu Yu to personally take action.    

Lu Yu did not answer but asked the soldiers in charge of guarding the area, "Where did the field officer in charge of this place go today?"    

"Field Officer Liu was just patrolling outside. He should be back at this time." The soldier answered truthfully.    

"Alright, I'll wait for him here"    

The registrar put away the doubts in his heart and waited quietly with Lu Yu.    

Fortunately, the two of them did not wait too long. In just the time it took to make a cup of tea, the neighing of horses could be heard outside the door.
