I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 274 Searching for someone
Half an hour later, Meng Yanxu and Liu Liu escorted Huang Lao Er and Liu Dewen, who were bound by tree branches, back to Liuxian Temple.

"In the backyard."

The speaker was Liu Dewen, whose wrinkled face was covered in blood. In reality, the blood was not his; it was from one of Huang Lao's men, a skilled wielder, who tried to throw a blade. Meng Yanxu noticed this and stabbed the man through the neck with a tree branch.

Liu Dewen happened to be next to that person, so he got splattered with blood on his face.

Meng Yanxu was personally taught by Meng Shulan. After his aunt shed her doddery exterior, she became exceptionally ruthless in every move she made.

So even though Meng Yanxu was relatively unknown and hadn't fought many people, he was well-trained, knew how to gauge the situation, and was absolutely ruthless when it came to killing.

After all, these people never intended to spare their lives in the first place.

Liu Dewen hadn't expected that the young man Liu Liu brought was from the Meng family, and that he was so capable.

The plan encountered obstacles from the very beginning, which made him very uneasy and fearful.

He just wanted to earn some money for his grandson so that he could have a comfortable life in his later years. What's wrong with that?

Besides, the direct line of the Liu family has come to an end, and Liu Liu doesn't even have the surname Liu. Logically speaking, she isn't a member of the Liu family at all. Shouldn't it be reasonable for her to hand over the jade pendant?

Although he watched Liu Liu's mother grow up, he didn't like her. She ran away from home and acted like she was going to die for a man, which was simply shameless.

According to him, such a daughter should be expelled from the Liu family. Why should the jade pendant be passed on to her?
The old master is muddle-headed!
Thinking of this, Liu Dewen felt extremely unwilling. When he looked at the man and woman next to him, his eyes were no longer filled with fear, but with resentment.

Noticing Liu Dewen's unfriendly gaze, Liu Liu turned her head and sneered, "What? You're not satisfied that you didn't kill me?"

As she spoke, she suddenly raised her foot and kicked Liu Dewen hard in the stomach. With a thud, Liu Dewen's body fell straight to the middle of the backyard, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Huang Lao Er's pupils contracted, and he looked at Liu Liu with slight surprise.

Although I know that she was recruited into the special training camp when she was just over ten years old, wasn't that because of Fairy Liu?

Without Fairy Liu, what is she?
But now she kicked Liu Dewen to the ground and he couldn't get up. The old man was over sixty years old and had been cultivating for forty or fifty years. In Northeast China, Liu Dewen's cultivation level was not bad.

Of course, he's not bad either.

But today, the two of them didn't even have a chance to make a move in front of the Meng family boy. Are all those who come from Sanqing Mountain so unfathomable?
And Liu Liu, these kids in the special training camp, apart from Meng Qi and Dongfang Shuo, are not simple either?
Neither of these places can be easily explored by outsiders. Even the Shanhaitang and Sanqingshan are not allowed to get close, let alone others.

"I remember my mother asked you when she was still alive that if you didn't want to look after Liuxian Temple, you could tell her and she would make other arrangements. Liu Dewen, what was your answer at the time?"

Liu Dewen spat out the remaining blood and foam from his mouth, struggled to turn over and look at Liu Liu, who was looking down at him, without saying a word.

Liu Liu didn't expect him to answer. She glanced at him sideways and looked up at a closed side room on the west side of the backyard.

The fairy's statue is there.

This explains why I clearly felt something at the entrance the first time I came, but the feeling disappeared after entering the main temple.

Therefore, the statue of the fairy maiden should not have been moved in more than one place.

"Let him go in first."

Meng Yanxu waved his hand, picked up Huang Lao Er, and threw him into the doorway. He controlled his strength just right; Huang Lao Er's body hit the door, but not so badly that it was enough to break the door open and then he fell inside. "You...see, the statue is right here. We didn't take it with us at all."

Huang Lao Er told Meng Yanxu to release him, "Young man from the Meng family, no matter how powerful your Meng family is, this is the Northeast, not Qingzhou. If you know what's good for you, let me go right now, or our Huang family will make sure you never leave Liucheng."

"It's noisy."

Meng Yanxu waved his hand and used a half-meter-long tree branch to strangle his mouth, so that he could only make muffled sounds if he wanted to speak.

Standing at the door, Liu Liu immediately noticed the fairy statue in the center of the room and confirmed that it was real.

Huang Lao Er went inside for quite a while, but there was no movement in the room, so it seemed that he had only moved to a different position.

She stepped over the threshold and into the room, and just then, something unexpected happened.

"According to the location data, the last place they were seen was at the foot of Liuxian Mountain, probably on their way to the Liuxian Temple to worship the fairy maiden."

Before Meng Shulan and Lin Qingquan set off, Xia Yunsong told them the latest news he had received: "Our people asked their counterparts in the Northeast to investigate thoroughly. Recently, Huang Lao Er of the Huang family has also gone missing, as well as several nephews and nieces from the Huang family's collateral branches. It is said that these people had close contact with Liu Dewen, who guards the Liu Temple, for some time. Yes, Liu Dewen has also disappeared. The Liu Temple looks normal, but we just can't find this person."

After getting a general understanding of the situation, the two did not keep a low profile after arriving in Liucheng. As a result, the cultivators in Northeast China all knew that Lin Qingquan and his wife had come to Liucheng.

Since they arrived in the evening, they didn't rush to Liuxian Mountain, planning to rest for the night and go the next morning.

That very night, a steady stream of people came to visit them at their hotel.

The sudden arrival of two prominent figures from Qingzhou who fought against the monster invasion in the Northeast inevitably raises questions.

What's wrong? Why did they suddenly come here? What are they doing here? Are they here to catch demons?

Everyone had different thoughts, but the same goal: to find out what the couple had come to Northeast China for.

Lin Qingquan made no attempt to hide anything, stating frankly that his student Liu Liu and his nephew had come to Northeast China more than twenty days ago and had gone missing.

He has taught all the members of the special training camp, so there's no doubt that they are his students.

It's no secret that Liu Liu is the only direct descendant of the Liu family in Northeast China; those who need to know, know it.

In the middle of the night, a dark figure appeared at the entrance of Liuxian Temple.

He first looked around, then pushed open the wooden door and sneaked inside. After passing the Liu Xiangu Shrine in the main courtyard, he entered the backyard and disappeared in no time.

Not far from the temple, a figure stood on a branch of a large tree, arms crossed, almost blending into the darkness. She leaned motionless against the trunk, her eyes fixed on the backyard of Liuxian Temple.

About fifteen minutes later, the dark figure that had disappeared earlier reappeared from the backyard and, just like when it came, left the temple without making a sound.

But he had only walked less than five meters when he was suddenly lifted into the air, and before he could react, a thin, snake-like vine suddenly wrapped around his neck.

Meng Shulan turned on the powerful flashlight she was carrying, shone it on the shadowy figure, took a picture with her phone, and then sent it to Xia Yunsong.
