In fact, ever since he entered the Lu Mansion and joined the Nursing Hall, Lu Zhan has always felt like he was being watched.
It's just that the feeling was very mild and vague before, so he always thought it was an illusion caused by his hatred for Butler Liu.
However, as his martial arts attainments become more and more advanced, especially after killing Butler Liu and Qiu Zongfeng from the secret workshop, relying on his experience in fighting against Qi Condensation level masters, he has already made great strides into the middle stage of Qi Condensation realm.
But the shadowy feeling of being watched that originally hung over my heart became increasingly clear.
Now Lu Zhan is almost certain that the feeling of being watched that he had before was definitely not his random imagination, but something real!
So who is spying on me from behind?
Is the person who spies on you an enemy or a friend?
Lu Zhan couldn't trace the source at all now, because the gaze that was spying on him always kept a vague distance from him, neither getting closer nor giving up, and always looking at him from afar with a calm and indifferent attitude.
This gave him an elusive feeling of powerlessness.
It seems that Young Master Lu is definitely not the only one in Lu Mansion who can cause trouble.
On the tenth day after the third young master returned home, Lu Zhan finally got a good harvest - that is, the "Tiger Roaring Soul-Severing Knife", which was finally refined and upgraded to level nine by him using "Bloodlight Slash"
Weapons!
He used "Bloodlight Slash" to temper a fourth-level Hunyuan copper rod into a fifth-level copper rod, which took nearly twenty days.
It took thirty days to temper a level six Burmese steel sword to level seven.
Now it took him two full months to temper an eighth-level weapon into a ninth-level top-notch sword. During this period, Lu Zhan's martial arts attainments were greatly improved with the help of the mysterious small crystal.
It has also made rapid progress and is beginning to approach the later stage of Qi Condensation realm.
Unfortunately, at this moment, the second-level elixir "Peiyuan Dan" on his body was also exhausted.
From the brief exchange of glances in front of the Lu Mansion, Lu Gengxin could see that there was indeed a huge gap in strength between himself and the third young master.
Fortunately, the third young master never came to trouble him during this period, allowing him to improve his martial arts attainments and temper the "Tiger Roaring Soul-Severing Knife" with peace of mind.
Now that his realm has improved and his sword has been successfully tempered and upgraded, he has more confidence in his ability to defeat the Third Young Master.
That afternoon, Ma Lixiong slipped out of the garden house where Master Lu San lived and returned to the Nursing Hall.
Letting Ma Lixiong join the "Guard Group" to protect the Third Young Master was a secret move that Lu Zhan had laid for himself before.
First of all, Ma Li men are relatively stable and smart.
Second, they were both partners who entered the nursing hall through "Capture the Flag". Lu Zhan trusted Ma Lixiong very much. In private, he devoted himself to his mastery of "Black Tiger Heart Seizing Fist" and "Wolf Fang Splitting Sky Palm".
It was taught to him and Xi Liuzi, and they were also provided with high-level armor weapons collected by General Duobao and many first-level elixirs "Yuanyuan Dan" that had no effect on them, so that they could accelerate their improvement.
Martial arts attainments.
He cultivated these two people as his confidants, just like the Third Young Master did to Liu Dagu and Lu Xuan.
Of course, he would not tell these two people the specific origins of the armor weapons and elixirs they used. He would only let them know that his identity and strength were extraordinary, so that they could serve him wholeheartedly.
Thirdly, he also wanted to know what Young Master Lu did after he returned home. Although it might not be effective to send a confidant to monitor him based on the Third Young Master's perverse and domineering behavior, it was still better than nothing.
As Lu Zhan expected, the news brought back by Ma Lixiong was of little value.
"The third young master has been staying at home these days and I haven't seen him go out." Ma Lixiong reported: "He locked himself in the underground practice room in the Gilded Garden and told our brothers in the escort team that he would practice in seclusion for a period of time.
, told me not to disturb him, otherwise he would be killed without mercy. Therefore, the brothers did not dare to approach the practice room without his consent. Captain Lu, you also know that since he condensed his energy into bullets at the ferry, he pointed
After killing Lao Tong, everyone was scared to death of this evil star."
Lu Zhan nodded. He had a deep understanding of how sharp the senses of a martial arts master who entered the Qi Condensation realm would be. Someone like Ma Lixiong, who had just broken through the body-refining realm and stepped into the bone-forging realm with his own help, had no idea at all.
I couldn't get too close to him to find out the news.
"Besides practicing in the underground training room, doesn't he do anything else?" Lu Zhan thought for a while and continued to ask.
"Anyway, he was mysterious and invisible all day long. He didn't even touch the food and drinks sent by the maid. There was nothing special about him." Ma Lixiong scratched his head and said, "I just saw him coming out of the ground to move around by chance.
By the way, I also heard that he questioned the leader of our escort group, asking questions about Xue Liji before his disappearance, and asked him very carefully. I also noticed that when the third young master spoke, not only his eyes were cold, but his eyes were also cold.
It was all frozen there, not moving for a long time."
Lu Zhan snorted coldly in his heart: "I'm afraid that a person like him can no longer be considered a normal person. Why are you so surprised? In addition, a master like the Third Young Master can come and go without a trace.
It is easy to avoid the eyes and ears of the escort team, just like it is easy for me, Lu Zhan, to avoid the surveillance of the guard hall. However, the third young master behaved so arrogantly when he first came back, almost to the point of being domineering. How to return to Lu Mansion?
After establishing his own territory, he cultivated his mind and nature and became an otaku? This thing is really a bit strange and weird? "
He was puzzled by Master Lu San's completely different behavior.
At this moment, Xi Liuzi walked in to join in the fun. This kid was quirky and had a tendency to like gossip. He was a good helper for Lu Zhan in his usual pursuit of news and intelligence gathering.
This time, Xi Liuzi brought back some disturbing news.
"Have you heard? Boss, there are several strange things and tragic deaths happening in Yunmeng City." Since Xi Liuzi became Lu Zhan's confidant, he no longer calls him Captain or Captain Lu, but directly changes his name to "
"Boss" to show intimacy.
"You are the only one who is making such a fuss, what else is weird?"
"The 'Iron Ax Gang' was wiped out in Baixiong Mountain overnight. There were more than 200 people in the gang, but not a single one of them survived."
"Is it a strange thing that the 'Iron Ax Gang' was wiped out?" Lu Zhan sighed: "In this world of the jungle, let alone a small local gang, even the entire region and the country are often wiped out.
The tragedy, human life is really like grass and grass, and there are so many dead people bleeding, so it is said that men are determined to die."
"Of course it's not a strange thing that the Iron Ax Gang was wiped out," Xi Liuzi swallowed his saliva: "But the strange thing is that all the more than 200 corpses were turned into mummies, just like the dried chickens, ducks and
Like bacon."
"The corpse has become a mummy?" Lu Zhan and Ma Lixiong exclaimed at the same time.
"Yes, it's very dry and shriveled. I heard that only a layer of skin is left covering the bones. It's no longer possible to see what the original person looked like when he was alive." Xi Liuzi's eyes showed deep fear: "It's almost the blood and essence on his body.
All water and water had been drained away, and the whole body looked like it had been dried in the wild desert for hundreds of years. Just imagine, just seeing one such corpse would be scary enough, let alone
Seeing two hundred of them piled up together gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.”
Ma Lixiong also swallowed his saliva: "According to legend, the 'Iron Ax Gang' is a peripheral gang affiliated with Yunmeng City's secret workshop. Most of the goods transported between Yunmeng City's secret workshop and several surrounding smaller cities are escorted.
It was completed by the 'Iron Ax Gang'. Although this gang has a small number of people, because of their money, most of the brothers in the gang have reached the middle stage of body refining and above, and among them there are more than a dozen bone forging realms.
A good player. How could such a gang with both strength and huge backers be wiped out overnight?"
"To be destroyed is to be destroyed. Nothing in this world is impossible." Xi Liuzi said: "This incident caused a commotion in the Yunmeng City secret shop and even the Yan Mansion. I heard that the Yan Mansion sent several clan members
The Qi Condensation Realm masters joined forces with the secret workshop to investigate the matter. By the way, the Yan Mansion once suspected that our Lu Mansion was responsible for the mysterious murder of Qiu, the first enshrinement of the secret workshop. But now they will no longer suspect it.
Let's leave it alone, after all, no matter how powerful our Lu family is, we can't turn the entire 'Iron Ax Gang' into mummies overnight without leaving a single trace."
"Of course it can't be done by our Lu family." Ma Lixiong curled his lips: "Turn a living person into a mummy, either it is a secret method that is rumored to be used by the royal family in the Western Wilderness to preserve the body from decaying for thousands of years after death.
There is another possibility, which is to encounter a blood-sucking devil or spirit."
Ma Lixiong usually likes to join in the fun and listen to Jianghu stories. At this time, his imagination was fully activated.
"The destruction of the Iron Ax Gang is not the worst and scariest thing." Xi Liuzi took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued: "By the way, the masters of the bone forging and Qi condensation realms sent by the Yan Mansion and the secret workshop are in Baixiong.
While searching for clues in the mountains, they suffered successive horrific attacks; everyone who was attacked, without exception, turned into mummies. After this attack, the Yan Mansion and the Secret House lost a total of thirty
Many masters were so frightened that the Yan Mansion and the secret workshop immediately recalled the remaining people back to their homes. They no longer dared to go to the vast mountains to investigate the matter. Their power often undergoes sudden changes like this, which is really a big deal.
It’s debilitating.”
