With Cheng Yaojin's escort, although I can't say it's foolproof, ordinary cultivators will never pose a threat to them.
The two of them tried their best to find some evasive routes and traveled quickly
In fact, if Luo Hai had not deliberately jumped out to seek death, the Huang family would not have been fully prepared to hunt him down. Firstly, they did not know Luo Hai's whereabouts after the last hour. Secondly, Huang Kun's death was also a serious matter to the Huang family.
A big blow. It would be strange if the Huang family didn't expect that someone was secretly standing behind Luo Hai. Therefore, at this moment, the Huang family can no longer act rashly until they find out Luo Hai's whereabouts and the information about the person behind him.
Take action
After thinking about this, Luo Hai suddenly had a very possible inference.
Could the mother's sudden disappearance be the work of the Huang family?
Inform Cheng Yaojin of this question
Cheng Yaojin thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "I think it is impossible. The emperor once announced in front of all civil and military officials that within five years, the Luo family in Jianye will be protected by the imperial court. If the Huang family dares to attack your mother,
, they would never dare to slap the emperor in front of him at this time."
Obedient, Luo Hai nodded and his expression softened.
"Master, what you mean is that my mother's matter has nothing to do with the enemies in Chang'an City?"
"Well, although the emperor is stingy, I have to say that his prestige is very great. Therefore, with his words in front of him, the big and small families in Chang'an City will never dare to disobey him. This is why the Huang family was in a hurry that day.
The reason for chasing you on the road, if they didn't care about the emperor's imperial edict, they could have sent people to your home to surround you earlier."
"In this way, the original request was very wise," Luo Haidao
"Well, who made your enemies stronger than the last? Fortunately, you didn't listen to me as a teacher at that time. If you asked me to send people to protect your family, I'm afraid even the Huang family would be hard-pressed to resist it," Cheng Yaojin sighed.
Luo Hai smiled bitterly and continued to follow Cheng Yaojin.
"What is the specific information you got?" Cheng Yaojin spoke again
"The letter was written by Luo Shu. It only said that my mother suddenly disappeared this morning. Others included some changes in Jianye City. By the way, my mother also disappeared with three other families. Who are they specifically?
Nothing was written in the letter”
"Oh?" Cheng Yaojin was stunned: "Is there anyone else?"
Luo Hai nodded, the worry in his eyes never receded
Cheng Yaojin has never seen such a look on Luo Hai's face. Luo Hai has always remained calm even when facing a behemoth like the Huang family.
This moment fully demonstrated the status of Luo Hai's family in his heart. Cheng Yaojin secretly praised that a cultivator, even if he has unparalleled martial arts, if he doesn't even need family ties, he is no different from the walking dead. This is what Luo Hai did.
makes him very satisfied
"Thousand-mile journey!"
Cheng Yaojin shouted loudly and used the Tang Dynasty official's speed-increasing weapon: "Luo Hai, come up!"
Tan hand picked up Luo Hai and put the latter on his back
Luo Hai lay obediently behind Cheng Yaojin. Although his speed was not slow, it was far behind Cheng Yaojin who was traveling at full speed.
It was originally a journey of at least two hours, but in less than an hour, the two of them appeared at the gate of Jianye City
Just when I stood still, I saw two figures running out of the city gate.
"Master Luo, I didn't expect you to come back so soon."
These two people looked familiar to Luo Hai. After thinking about it carefully, he found that they were all servants of the Luo family. They must have come specifically to welcome him.
Nodding, Luo Hai and Cheng Yaojin entered Jianye City.
Although the few officers and soldiers guarding the gate did not recognize Luo Hai, they did not stop them because of the control of the two Luo family members.
Entering the streets of Jianye City, Luo Hai discovered an unusual atmosphere.
On weekdays, although the city is not busy with traffic, it is still very noisy. Today, there are indeed only a few scattered people passing by in a hurry on the streets. The previous cries and scenes of merchants from various families coming and going no longer exist.
"What's going on? Where are the people on the street?" Luo Hai asked the servants of the Luo family who were looking behind.
"Back to the young master, this morning, the number of unknown missing people in Jianye City has reached a hundred, so everyone is in danger."
"Hundreds of people! Isn't there just a few?" Luo Hai was surprised. Luo Shu's letter stated that apart from Luo Hai's mother, only a few other people were missing.
"The news the young master received, I am afraid that two hours ago, only the larger families in the city noticed the strangeness immediately. Later, after the government's investigation, it was discovered that more than a hundred people were missing. This number may still be
It's being increased." Another servant of the Luo family said with an uneasy look on his face.
"Now residents in the city know about this. It is rumored that Jianye City has attracted demons from the East China Sea. I heard that fishermen from the East Bay saw a huge black shadow appearing in the East China Sea last night."
"Is this happening?" Cheng Yaojin's expression changed on the side.
Demon!? Luo Hai was surprised
"Master, are there any demons in the world?"
Cheng Yaojin took a deep breath: "There are monsters and beasts in legends. However, the monsters the world calls monsters are just those who are not my human race and have practiced to the extreme."
"There are three races in the world: humans, demons, and immortals. There is no difference at all. It's just that our human race is so numerous that we demonize the other two races. It's sheer nonsense to say that those who are not my race will be punished with their hearts. In fact, no matter whether they are
Demons and fairies are just struggling beings living in this land. We humans are not superior to others. Buddha said: All living beings are equal, and good and evil do not distinguish between races."
After listening to Cheng Yaojin's long speech, Luo Hai raised his eyebrows: "That's good, but I can't see how Master can say such a thing."
Cheng Yaojin's face brightened: "These are the original words of the old bald donkey."
No wonder, Luo Hai nodded, quickened his pace, and soon he saw the front door of the Luo family
"Luo Hai, you are finally back!"
There was already someone waiting at the door of the Luo family. It was a group of young people from the Luo family led by Luo Shu, including Luo Shuang, Luo Ming, Luo Ji, Luo Dong, plus some members of the younger generation of the Luo family.
"Why are they all out?" Luo Hai was confused. At a glance, all the young people of the Luo family were present.
"This is what happened." Luo Shu took a step forward, first bowed to Cheng Yaojin as a disciple, and then said: "According to statistics, the number of people who suddenly disappeared in Jianye City has reached one hundred and fifty. These people, including Mrs.
, they are all women who are powerless, and these women all have the same characteristics, beauty, and all have given birth to children." Then he paused, Luo Shu's face looked a little strange, and then said: "That is,
"These people are not girls." Obviously, saying this to an unmarried young man in public made Luo Shu feel extremely uncomfortable.
"The government has launched an investigation, but so far there are no big clues. They have only obtained information from a few fishermen in the East Bay. The authenticity cannot be confirmed, but one thing has been confirmed, that is, the disappearance of the wife and others has a lot to do with the East China Sea.
The big reason is that from early morning to this moment, the sea water in the East Bay has been different from usual. Various fish that usually require hard work to catch will automatically wash up on the shore every once in a while."
"So the government decided to increase manpower and search the entire East Bay seaside," Luo Shu said
"The government doesn't have enough manpower, so we are asked to join in?" Luo Hai suddenly understood.
Luo Shu nodded: "Not only our family, the Lu family, the Yue family and the Feng family were all asked by the government to send people out."
"What? There is no one else in the family?" Although Luo Hai understood, looking at this posture, the Luo family was preparing to send out all the young people in the family. If they were to encounter any danger, wouldn't they be seeking death?
"The government has said that everyone is involved this time, just to look for clues. Although the East China Sea is abnormal, there seems to be no danger at present. The masters of the families in the city are staying at their homes to prevent them from making mistakes and the number of missing people increases again."
"So, the government has ordered that all the young people and some low-powered servants of the four families mentioned above must participate. Even the clan leaders will find it difficult to disobey the government's order."
"So it looks like we're going to leave immediately?" Luo Haidao
"Luo Hai, you have just arrived home, so you should go see the clan leader. We will wait for you to come out and then rush to the government together to join them."
"Yes." Luo Hai nodded and glanced at the group of Luo family young people.
Luo Shuang's eyes were red. She had obviously cried before. When she saw Luo Hai looking at her, she turned her head stubbornly. Luo Hai's eyes were full of love. This girl was probably worried about her mother. Plus Luo Hai said it last time, so it took so long.
I just showed up, and I'm angry with myself
Luo Hai glanced at Luo Ming and the others one by one. Facing the former's gaze, Luo Ming and others' eyes were filled with complicated expressions.
Luo Hai, who was dressed in white, had a cold face and a bluish bald head. There was a hint of fierce evil aura, like an unsheathed magic weapon.
The skin that used to be fair and tender has not been seen for a long time, but it has been covered with a healthy dark color. The broad chest wrapped in clothes is faintly printed with strong muscles.
Luo Hai is no longer the cowardly young man who can be insulted at will. In less than a year, he has undergone transformation in both appearance and strength, as if he was reborn from the ashes.
Luo Hai walked past Luo Ming and others step by step without saying a word, but it made them feel a huge pressure that they had never experienced before facing the clan leader.
On the side, several cousins from the Luo family looked at Luo Hai. Their eyes changed from disdain in the past to hard-to-conceal passion. It must be said that Luo Hai at this moment has an inexplicable charm.
With the strength of the elite selection champion, his handsome appearance, and his odd temperament that is both contradictory and natural, there is no trace of his former self.
This is clearly a young man who is irresistible to all young girls in their early years.
"Master Cheng, follow the disciple in"
An old man and a young man walked slowly into Luofu under the watchful eyes of everyone.
"Cousin, he has already gone in." On the side, a young girl from Luo Hai waved her white wrist and extended it to her absent-minded sister next to her.
"Ah? Stinky girl!" My sister's face suddenly turned crimson, and she angrily scratched the girl from before.
Looking at the lovely girl, a trace of inexplicable loss flashed in Luo Ming's eyes.
This girl was the cousin that Luo Ming was pursuing so hard. The moment the other girl looked at Luo Hai, he was so distracted that he was filled with jealousy.
"Luo Hai, I must surpass you! So what if the level of Qi is fifteen! Even if you have improved during this period, it will never be much higher. I have reached level thirteen of Qi. There is still hope to catch up with you.
,Wait!”
Luo Ming would never have known in his dreams that Luo Hai's promotion was beyond his imagination.
