"If it wasn't a particularly dangerous situation, they would definitely not use the Shadow Seed to contact me."
Li Xuan thought to himself, "What will happen? Is it revenge from the Xue family, or is Xiao Du's people coming to visit?"
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and a fire was slowly growing in his heart.
"Xiao Du, if you are really yours, if you dare to touch a hair of any of my villagers, I will definitely kill you!"
Although Li Xuan's thoughts were confused, one thought was very clear in his mind.
He is definitely a person who seeks revenge. Regardless of whether Xiao Du has a legendary monk father behind him, he has already been on Li Xuan's death blacklist.
Although he was already in the Spring and Autumn Empire, if Li Xuan had not been riding a six-winged flying dragon, it would have taken him at least several days to get back. Even if he was riding a six-winged flying dragon, it would have taken him a full day to get back.
Arrive at Xuejia Town.
Li Xuan let the six-winged flying dragon land outside the town. After putting on a little makeup, he entered the town wearing a big felt hat.
Although it was only afternoon, there were very few people in the town. A few passers-by were walking on the street, and they were all close to the wall.
As soon as they saw Li Xuan dressed like this, passers-by started to avoid him, and they all fled in a blink of an eye. The whole town became like a dead city.
Li Xuan frowned, he realized that something was very wrong.
When he left, he arranged for all the villagers to stay in Xuejia Town, but now the contact from Shadow Seed told him that all the villagers have returned to Vanilla Village, so what happened here?
Li Xuan rushed to the Xue family manor first, but the building was already empty. There was not a single person inside or outside the manor. Instead, the messy situation told Li Xuan that a major sweep must have taken place here.
Especially there were some caked blood stains on the ground, which made Li Xuan feel chilly.
Although Li Xuan had roughly ruled out the Xue family's counterattack, he still returned to the town and went straight to the familiar Lao Qiao herbal shop.
At first, Li Xuan often went to Lao Qiao's herb shop to sell herbs for pocket money, and he became very familiar with Lao Qiao.
Lao Qiao once wanted Li Xuan to be his apprentice and train him to become an alchemist.
Thinking of those times, Li Xuan's always stern face showed a rare warmth.
Lao Qiao's herbal shop was closed tightly during the day, and there was no sound inside.
Li Xuan stood in front of the door and knocked on the door several times, but there was no response.
"Dad Lao Qiao, open the door, I'm Li Xuan."
Li Xuan listened for a while and heard a rustling sound in the shop. It was definitely not the movement of rats. Someone must be hiding inside, so he spoke inside.
His words had an effect, and after a moment, someone's voice came from inside.
"Li Xuan, is it really you?"
Sure enough, it was Lao Qiao's voice.
"Of course it's me. Can't you even recognize my voice?"
The "bang" was probably the sound of the door latch being removed, and soon the shop door opened.
Lao Qiao stuck his head out, looked around, took Li Xuan's arm, pulled him into the shop, and then immediately closed the door tightly.
It seemed that there were some monsters on the street outside, and they would rush into his shop at any time to smash, smash, and rob.
"Li Xuan, you are finally back."
After closing the door, Lao Qiao grabbed Li Xuan's shoulders and said with tears streaming down his face.
"Old Qiao, please tell me slowly, what happened, are my villagers okay?"
Seeing that Lao Qiao was very excited, Li Xuan quickly comforted him, and at the same time a hint of gloom passed through his heart.
Lao Qiao also felt that he had lost his composure, wiped his nose and tears, and then slowly told Li Xuan.
"After you left, life in the town has been very peaceful, and your villagers and the people in the town get along very well.
But just a few days ago, a group of gangsters suddenly came to the town. The leader was called Red Beard. As soon as he came, he took all your villagers away. Some townspeople went to help, but he killed them all. He
After a robbery, your villagers were taken away.
People in the town are in panic these days, and many people have fled."
"Red Beard?"
Li Xuan memorized this name firmly, and if he saw this person, he would kill him without mercy.
"He also left a leaflet naming everyone and wanted to give it to you."
Old Qiao said, opening the drawer on the counter and taking out a piece of paper.
Li Xuan took it and saw that there was only a line of blood-red characters on it.
"Li Xuan, if you don't want to kill your villagers, then come and die!"
There is also a huge skull and a bloody palm painted underneath, which looks shocking.
"Asshole."
Li Xuan uttered two words coldly, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and the most terrifying devilish smile appeared on his face.
"Li Xuan, you must not go, they must be ambushing you.
If you go alone, not only will you not be able to save the villagers, but you may also be able to save yourself..." Seeing Li Xuan's expression was different, Lao Qiao quickly persuaded him.
"If I don't go, the villagers will be in danger."
Li Xuan said, "Dad Qiao, don't worry, I'll be fine."
"But the Red Beards are not simple. They have strength in numbers and are very powerful!"
Lao Qiao said anxiously that he had watched Li Xuan grow up and was afraid that he would fall into the trap of the gangsters.
"And they're not ordinary gangsters!"
The back door of the herb shop opened, and a man came out and said seriously to Li Xuan.
"why you?"
Li Xuan couldn't help but be startled when he saw this familiar face.
The person who suddenly appeared was Yang Wei. This guy is a famous profiteer in the town. How could he be hiding in Lao Qiao's shop?
"You must be wondering why I am here..." Yang Wei has a very good ability to observe people's emotions. One look at Li Xuan's face and you can tell what he is thinking.
"My shop was robbed by red-bearded men."
Yang Wei said with a sad face, "The house was burned down. Fortunately, Lao Qiao took me in, otherwise I would have been living on the street."
Seeing the unlucky businessman, Li Xuan felt that he was too pitiful.
"When I kill those gangsters, I will help you get your things back."
Li Xuan said.
"Then you have to be very careful, because Red Beard's swordsmanship is very powerful, and among those gangsters there is a guy named Military Advisor. He is a powerful monk."
Yang Wei's face lit up with joy and he quickly provided information to Li Xuan.
"how do you know?"
Li Xuan asked.
"When they robbed my shop, Redbeard split the roof with a single blow of his sword, and I have a photographic memory of that kind of monk.
All the gangsters were very strong, but the military advisor was as skinny as a chicken, and it was he who took away all my materials."
"Swordsman masters, and monks... hum."
Li Xuan sneered, "I will make them regret it."
"By the way, I'll give you this. Maybe it can help you."
Yang Wei took out something from his close pocket and handed it to Li Xuan's hand.
"Why do you have this thing?"
Li Xuan's eyes lit up.
"Hehe... Is this..." Yang Wei looked around and talked about him.
Li Xuan smiled knowingly, put the thing away, and said to Lao Qiao and Yang Wei: "I'll leave first and wait for my good news."
