Chapter 58 Escape from the Lu Family
Mr. Lu just returned to Yuancheng and stayed at the Lu family for only one day. Ou Yong reported to him that I knew the origin of poisonous ants. I don’t believe it if they are not familiar with each other. Poisonous ants are Ou Yong’s secret, and A-Zhao
Mr. Lu was not present when he interrogated Ou Ba. The behavior of the two of them gave me reason to suspect that Mr. Lu had long known that Ou Yong had poisonous ants.
"What are you talking nonsense about?" Ou Yong looked panicked for a moment, glanced at Second Master Lu, and lied: "I told Second Master that you can use magic to open locks!"
"Okay, let's talk about other things later. The most important thing is to quickly discuss a strategy to retreat from the enemy." Lu Peng stopped the topic of whether he and Ou Yong had any trouble.
"Yes, we are facing a powerful enemy. We should discuss how to defend ourselves against the enemy." Chen Lingdu stood on Ou Yong's side. His men woke up one after another, helped him to the wall, and asked him to sit against the wall.
They can still move because I didn't intend to kill them, I just drained their energy.
But the 'qi' is still in their bodies, and they have no ability to expel it on their own.
They have time bombs installed in their bodies, so I'm not afraid of them making any moves again.
Chen Lingdu asked Lu Peng how the situation was outside, and Lu Peng said that the distinguished guests from the Lu family had been moved into the secret room as soon as possible.
Bai Mudan did not enter the secret room with the others because she was worried about Lu Youkang.
The process of rescuing Lu Youkang was told to guard Jia when she came in.
Her suspicion that Lu Peng wanted to kill Lu Youkang was not unfounded. After the alarm bell rang, Lu Peng immediately organized people to enter the safe room. Even the relatives of the Lu family were taken into consideration, but no one cared about Lu Youkang. She rushed to pick up Lu Youkang, and happened to meet him.
When it came to the assassin, fortunately Azhao was good at martial arts and the assassin was no match for him.
If she had believed Lu Peng's message, Lu Youkang would be a cold corpse at this moment.
She almost lost her lover. She had already reached the limit of her patience if she didn't rush up to scratch Lu Peng's face as soon as he appeared. According to her temper, any quarrel would be considered a minor matter.
But she was worried about the situation in front of her and suppressed her anger to be in the same room with Lu Peng.
I could clearly see the true state of her energy field.
I guess she is worried about the presence of foreign enemies and doesn't want to break up with Lu Peng for the time being.
According to my inference, Lu Peng and the people who attacked Lu's house at night should be in the same group. He should not be in such a mess unless it was a cruel trick.
But I saw the 'emotion' in him, and he was really angry, so I guessed that he might have a disagreement with the murderer outside.
Chen Lingdu said it lightly, to defend against the enemy?
These two words made Lu Peng's face darken a bit. Chen Lingdu did not notice that he had said the wrong thing and continued to ask Lu Peng if there was any way to retreat from the enemy.
If he had, there would be no need to hide in the dungeon. The facts were obvious. He had no choice but to defeat the murderer outside.
The people of the Lu family were bloodbathed to avenge the family's destruction, and I'm afraid there is no room for discussion.
Chen Lingdu wanted to ask about the prophecy again, but as soon as he uttered a word, Lu Peng glared at him, and he had to swallow the rest of the words.
At around one o'clock in the morning, someone knocked on the dungeon door again.
This time the person knocking on the door was a woman. I recognized her voice as Wan'er and immediately went to open the door for her.
Wan'er and Ximen Wuhen stood outside the door together. Ximen Wuhen was injured. I let them in. The wind and rain carried a thick smell of blood and hit my face.
Wan'er supported Ximen Wuhen, and I told them to go to my cell to rest.
Ximen Wuhen suffered internal injuries, and the blood on the corner of his mouth was wiped but not clean.
Wan'er's Kung Fu was unable to use Kung Fu to heal his injuries. Wan'er walked and said, "Ximen Wuhen learned that the Lu family was attacked and came to save me despite the objections of the protector."
However, there were many strange people blocking the way. Ximen Wuhen passed five levels, killed six generals, and fought his way to the gate of Lu's house.
When they saw the dead people around the house, their blood almost ran cold...
Wan'er was so anxious that she cried loudly and her eyes were swollen from crying. She was sure that Yun Zhou and I were also surrounded and killed.
But Ximen Wuhen didn't believe it. He had to see the corpse before he would believe it.
Among the corpses there was a survivor who was still breathing. Ximen Wuhen grabbed that person and after asking, he found out that I had been thrown into the dungeon by Lu Peng.
Hearing that I was in the dungeon, he calmed down.
Someone was 'dueling' in Lu's house. He sneaked in quietly with Wan'er and spent some time finding the location of the dungeon.
Fortunately, the pursuers who blocked the road did not enter the house, and the people fighting in the house did not notice them.
I asked Ximen Wuhen to sit on the bed, and I used his "superpower" to heal his injuries.
Although the leader of the Demon Cult is mentally abnormal, he really came to save people at the critical moment. I was very touched.
His internal injuries were very serious, and the person who injured him must not be a gangster.
I spent all my efforts to treat him, and the results were remarkable. If he could treat his internal injuries on his own, he would have to take care of himself for a year and a half.
I used supernatural powers to treat him, and he recovered after a month of rest.
He knew it very well, so after I asked him to try his luck, he was surprised.
"It turns out that my sister is really a miracle doctor." He concluded with a fatherly expression of relief.
Lu Peng's men peeked at me. They had many wounded people, some with broken bones. They were in so much pain that some even fainted from the pain.
There is no cure or medicine in the dungeon, and the killing outside does not know when it will stop. They want to be treated, and I am the only 'doctor' here.
But it's hard for them to talk about it. Firstly, Lu Peng didn't say anything. Secondly, I came in through Lu Pengguan. Even if they asked, I probably wouldn't treat their injuries.
The cell and a passage were crowded with people, but the atmosphere was extremely dull.
In this awkward atmosphere that cannot be described in words, only Yun Zhou was chewing melon seeds.
Ximen Wuhen, whose brain circuit is abnormal, was verbally caring for me.
He mainly scolded the Lu family for their ruthlessness, and criticized Lu Peng by name, saying that he was rebellious and left home, and became a monster when he came back.
Who did you borrow the courage from to dare to unjustly accuse his sister Ximen Wuhen?
Lu Peng is the son of the leader of the martial arts alliance. He and the leader of the Demon Cult are in the same space. They should be incompatible with each other. If you don't hit him when you are scolded, you have to say something back, right?
But he didn't, he allowed Ximen Wuhen to call him a wolf-hearted person.
Even though he was so angry that he was about to explode, he still held back his anger and kept silent.
There are strong enemies outside and old enemies inside. If he takes action at this time, he will definitely be destroyed.
The evil skills practiced by Lu Peng are astonishingly powerful, but he has gone too far, and when he uses them, they are both powerful and risky.
It is possible that while defeating the enemy, he himself collapsed.
His situation is the best for me to deal with. Just blow in a wisp of 'qi', and his life energy will collapse like a snow mountain, and only himself will be destroyed.
At this time, his men were seriously injured, and none of Ou Yong and Chen Lingdu who were standing with him were useful.
On the contrary, on our side, I, the Immortal Swordsman, the guards Jia, Xin, Wan'er, and Ximen Wuhen are all in good fighting condition.
As for Yun Zhou... he took out another braised chicken foot, but I snatched it off and put it in my pocket.
When I prepare snacks for him, they never contain these "mass-destructive" weapons. These are all prepared for him by guard Jia Xin.
After Ximen Wuhen scolded Lu Peng, he wanted to take me away from the Lu family.
Before Lu Peng could speak, Ou Yong became anxious.
"No!" He had just returned from going to the lower dungeon to find water to rinse his mouth. When he heard that Ximen Wuhen was about to take me away, he immediately stopped him.
"Who dares to stop me?" Ximen Wuhen finally behaved in a manner consistent with his appearance, and asked Ou Yong in a domineering tone.
Chen Lingdu whispered beside him, "She is the murderer of Alliance Leader Lu."
Ximen Wuhen swung his sword in the face, and Chen Lingdu immediately fell silent, lowering his head and not daring to look at him.
Momentum is not something everyone has. Chen Lingdu can be domineering sometimes, but it is incomparable to the aura of the leader of the Demon Cult.
At this time, the auras of the two of them were that of an eagle and that of a quail.
The little quail huddled against the wall, not daring to say a word. Ou Yong and Lu Peng from his camp also remained silent.
Don't expect them to be quiet right now. When we get out, tomorrow they will list my nine crimes and let the righteous people in the world scold me and surround me.
Ximen Wuhen looked around at everyone and said domineeringly: "If you want to survive, just follow me and leave."
"Let's go!" Bai Mudan said to the guard guarding Lu Youkang.
"Wait a minute, Kang'er is from the Lu family, and you are the young lady of the Lu family. How can you leave with someone from the Demon Cult?" Lu Peng didn't stop us, only Bai Mudan.
There was a flash of calculation in his eyes, and he was probably thinking about how to label Lu Youkang and Bai Mudan.
"I want to protect my life and A Kang's, and no one can stop me." Bai Mudan had already suspected that Lu Peng had ulterior motives, but now that Lu Peng is stopping her, it's surprising that she can listen to him.
Lu Peng smiled bitterly and said: "Since you are so determined, then you can go."
"Hmph, first he made friends with the evil sect, and now he is related to the demon sect. Master Lu is bent on evil and wants to betray the martial arts alliance?" Chen Lingdu did not dare to look at Ximen Wuhen, but he seized the opportunity to ridicule him.
Lu Youkang.
Lu Peng glared at him instead, and I knew clearly that this was what Lu Peng had in mind.
He happily let Bai Mudan and Lu Youkang leave because he wanted to label Lu Youkang as a traitor to the Wulin Alliance later.
Lu Youkang has indeed interacted with people from the evil sect. Tonight he went crazy again and wanted to hurt people. Now he has left with Ximen Wuhen. Even if he returns to normal tomorrow, he will not be able to defend himself.
After all, it was true that he went crazy, and it was true that he left with Ximen Wuhen, but his assassin ran away, and the person who poisoned him... had turned into pus.
There are too many things happening today and they are too chaotic. Lu Peng will definitely seize the high ground of public opinion.
As long as he survives tonight.
At two o'clock in the morning, when the rain was at its heaviest, we followed Ximen Wuhen out of the dungeon and left the Lu family.
Immortal Swordsman and Cheng Fei also left with us.
There are only three waves of people left in the dungeon: Lu Peng, Ou Yong and Chen Lingdu.
The party lanterns had been extinguished, and the heavy rain had obscured their vision. There was no need to rely on moonlight, starlight, or lights. The group had no choice but to move forward in the dark.
Every few steps you walk, you will step on a corpse. The female elder Bai Mudan has to be carried on her back.
Ximen Wuhen was originally walking in the front, but after walking for a while I stopped him and changed places with him.
There were many people surrounding Lu's residence. From this, it seemed that the people blocking the road might have deliberately let Ximen Wuhen and Wan'er in.
Because the Lu family is surrounded by people outside, it is easy to get in but difficult to get out.
Ximen Wuhen was prepared to fight them head-on. His internal injuries were much better after my supernatural treatment.
But I didn't want my treatment results to be destroyed like this, so I asked them to wait a few meters away from the hospital wall.
I wasn't too close to the wall. I was separated from the courtyard wall by some distance. The rain was too heavy. In this kind of weather, people outside wouldn't be able to spot me if I were farther away.
I squatted down, put my hands on the ground, and released the "qi" line. The "qi" floated out like wisps of smoke, and jumped out of the wall like a small snake.
They don't have murderous intent, they parade in the pool of water on the ground and quietly approach people outside the wall.
In the pouring rain, no one noticed the transparent "qi" lines hidden in the water on the ground.
These 'qi' lines penetrated under their feet and into the soles of their feet.
They should feel numb and unconscious.
There was a fall outside, and I threw out a ball of air, which hit Ximen Wuhen. It was probably equivalent to the feeling of a pebble hitting the body.
He immediately brought someone over and we climbed over the wall and went out together.
The people guarding the wall on this side of the courtyard all fell down. We jumped over the people on the ground and ran towards the outside of the city.
Ximen Wuhen said that he still had a place to stay in the city.
As soon as the news of Alliance Leader Lu's death came out, Lu Peng sealed off Yuancheng.
However, it is still unknown whether his people are still there. The most likely scenario is that the forces that bloodbathed the Lu family have taken over various city gates.
Regardless of whether the gatekeeper is the Lu family or another force, they will not be friendly to us.
Therefore, Ximen Wuhen decided not to leave the city yet. Yuancheng was so big that it would not be difficult to find a place to hide.
Heavy rain can wash away our footprints. Ximen Wuhen led the way and took us to his temporary residence.
This place is more remote than the small courtyard that Cheng Fei and Xianjianke rented before, and the surrounding weeds are as tall as one person.
The small yard has only been tidied up briefly, and the weeds in the yard have grown very tall.
But the room was very clean. The tables, chairs, benches, beds, and desks were all spotless. It looked like someone had cleaned them.
Although it is said to be a small courtyard, there are actually quite a lot of rooms, but there is only one clean room.
Other rooms need to be tidied up before they can be occupied.
Finally finding a place to stay, Bai Mudan's maids began to get busy.
After boiling water and tidying up, the group finally cleaned themselves up and slept on a dry bed.
I was still awake when they were sleeping, and Bai Mudan arranged for someone to keep watch. I wasn't afraid of someone chasing me, but I was insomnia because I remembered something.
Lu Peng didn't mention the prophecy, I really didn't think of it.
The martial arts prophecies made a hundred years ago were silenced by the then leader of the martial arts alliance.
Therefore, Lu Peng was sure that very few people knew about this matter. Even the princes and nobles had no way to know about it.
The gag order back then was to kill people and silence them without leaving any further consequences.
The original person knew about this because Liu Yanyan told her boss, and she was present when the two talked.
The original body is a storage of knowledge. She just listens to it without thinking about its authenticity.
Now that the prophecy has come true, the original person has no chance to think about it, and the problem is now on my side.
Although I have no direct relationship with the Lu family or the Wulin, the disappearance of the entire Wulin will not have any impact on my farming plan.
Chapter completed!
