Chapter 122: Fleeing far away, the cavalry suddenly arrives
"The Lu family is so big, but you are the only ones with so few people?" Geng Xuan frowned.
The two men knelt on the ground. One of them was so frightened that his face turned pale and his whole body was trembling. How could he speak?
Another older man bravely said:
"Senior...Senior, we...we are the guards hired by the Lu family to do odd jobs and look after the house. The head of the family and the relatives of the Lu family usually stay in Anleji and do not live here."
"There must be someone in charge, right?"
"This is all under the responsibility of the old butler." said the man.
"Old housekeeper? Where is he?"
After hearing this, the man lowered his head even more and stammered:
"He...he is in the yard where you came out."
Geng Xuan was startled, thought for a moment, and asked, "He's wearing red clothes?"
The person who answered almost put his head to the ground, "Yes."
Geng Xuan suddenly realized that the first person he killed when he came out of the tunnel was.
The man was closest to the tunnel entrance and looked like he was about to go underground at any moment. There were two other people protecting him.
Geng Xuan came out and saw the bright red name above the man's head, so he struck him with his sword and killed the two people beside him as well.
Only now did I realize that I had chopped off the Lu family's brain the first thing they did.
Geng Xuan himself was somewhat speechless, but he could only chuckle in his heart at the man's explanation that he was "just an employee doing odd jobs and guarding the house."
From the time I killed my way from the house to here, no one has a red name on their head and their red luck contribution is less than 20 points.
Even though the two people in front of him have a lesser reputation, they are at least fat sheep that can contribute 15 points of good luck.
There is really no innocent person in the Lu family.
"Since Patriarch Lu and his relatives mostly live in Anleji, then the business at Baiyuanji is actually handled by you, right?"
Geng Xuan's question immediately left the man on the ground speechless.
At this moment, Cheng Hui and Hong Quan came to Geng Xuan's side. Unsure of how to respond, Geng Xuan looked up and took a look. He was startled and immediately begged for mercy:
"Captain Hong, Captain Cheng, every wrong has its perpetrator. Arranging people to arrest people at your house was the old housekeeper's idea. It has nothing to do with us! We were not involved in this matter at all!"
Cheng Hui and Hong Quan were stunned for a moment, and suddenly their faces changed drastically.
Just as they were about to ask what was going on, Geng Xuan spoke first.
"Tell me in detail, I'll see if it has anything to do with you."
The man immediately told the whole story in detail.
The faces of Cheng Hui and Hong Quan turned pale and blue, and they were always furious, full of murderous intent, and on the verge of exploding.
According to the two men, when bad news came from the Anleji convoy base, after investigation, it was confirmed that a massacre of at least thirty people had occurred at the scene.
In addition to arranging multiple teams to deliver the news to Anleji as soon as possible, the old housekeeper of the Lu family also ordered people to bring all the family members of the six people who had been taken to Anleji’s base earlier to the Lu family.
Because according to him, there were no other clues except a scene where a major murder was suspected to have occurred.
The convoy seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
In such a situation, even any clue that may be related is valuable.
At noon, he was taken away by three Anleji guards and went to the convoy together. Later, he disappeared with the convoy. The six people who were nowhere to be found, alive or dead, were likely to be a breakthrough point.
And this was originally the only point that Baiyuanji could focus on.
Therefore, when Master Feng was overwhelmed by the suddenly worsening situation and everyone else was confused by the sudden news, the old housekeeper of the Lu family immediately sent people to capture all the family members of these six people and take them under control of the Lu family.
There was nothing wrong with the old butler's approach, and it could even be said to be very sharp.
It's just that I had a bit of bad luck.
"Where are they now?" Geng Xuan asked.
"Imprisoned in a dungeon."
"Take us there."
"That...that..."
The man suddenly raised his head with a hopeful look on his face. Although he didn't say anything clearly, Geng Xuan already understood what he meant.
This is to exchange for a chance to survive.
However, perhaps he himself felt that this reason for staying alive was too cheap, and even he couldn't say it out loud.
Coincidentally, Geng Xuan also felt the same way.
So he swung his sword, and they both received their lunch boxes.
Geng Xuan looked at Cheng Hui and Hong Quan and asked, "You should know where the Lu family dungeon is, right?"
Hong Quan nodded and said, "I know."
So, Hong Quan led the way, leading Geng Xuan and Cheng Hui through the Lu family mansion.
Soon, they arrived at a secluded courtyard near the wall.
After entering the courtyard, the three did not enter the room opposite the courtyard, but turned left and went directly down the stairs.
Just as Geng Xuan walked down the stairs, a voice came from inside.
"What's going on outside? Why is there so much noise?"
As he spoke, a man in his early fifties poked his head out and turned to look at Geng Xuan.
Now that you're out, don't go back.
Just as the man glared and wanted to ask who the visitor was, Geng Xuan had already swung his sword. The long sword pressed against the wall and directly cut off half of the man's head.
Because the sword was so fast and sharp, after the long sword passed, the half-cut off head of the man did not fall off, but only a bright bloodstain appeared, and then it slid to the ground.
Half of the living brain was still in the half of the head connected to the neck, and the other half was scattered on the ground as the half of the head fell to the ground.
They didn't know if it was an illusion, but Cheng Hui and Hong Quan always felt that when this half-living brain fell to the ground and got covered with dust, it jumped violently a few times, as if it was instinctively rejecting the dirt.
The two people who were originally worried about their families couldn't help but twitch their eyelids when they saw this scene, and their lively brains seemed to shrink suddenly.
They had killed people before and seen people beheading others, but they had never seen such a perverted way of beheading.
It caused them direct physical discomfort.
Geng Xuan ignored all this, avoided the half-brain on the ground, and went inside.
In an instant, a cell that Geng Xuan felt was very professional appeared in front of him.
The cell was deep, with several burning torches stuck into the walls.
Although the light was not very bright, it was enough for Geng Xuan to see everything inside.
On the right is the water dungeon, which consists of deep pits two meters long and wide, filled with water.
In the water dungeon closest to Geng Xuan, there was a man covered in bruises, with eyes half-open and half-closed, extremely weak, his hands tied and most of his body submerged in water.
He opened his eyes slightly and saw the vague outline of Geng Xuan standing at the entrance, no longer moving forward, but looking towards him.
Perhaps he thought Geng Xuan's target was him, so he opened his mouth and half moaned and half begged for mercy:
"I've explained everything I need to. I even sold my wife and daughter to you. What else do you want?
Even if you kill me, I will have no money left, not a penny!
...Or, could you lend me some more?
The host must have cheated in the last game. I had such a good hand, how could I lose?
...Lend me a little more, and I promise to pay it back with interest this time!"
Geng Xuan frowned, afraid of dirtying the sword in his hand, and flicked his fingers to shoot out a stream of energy, which shot into the man's forehead.
After refining the remaining energy of this person, Geng Xuan felt even more disgusted.
I only got four points of good luck.
But does this mean that this guy who sold his wife and daughter and is still obsessed with his ways is a good person?
Geng Xuan even suspected that the sins of his four points of good fortune were all caused by this person who swung the knife inward and obtained them from his own family!
“It seems that judging people as good or evil by their red names is still biased.
Those with a light reputation are not necessarily good people; they could be bad people.”
After casually taking care of a scumbag, Geng Xuan looked to the left.
On the left is a row of iron cages, each about two meters long, wide and high, placed from the entrance to the innermost part of the cell.
And there were people locked in each of the six iron cages.
Some iron cages have fewer people in them, just three or two.
Some iron cages had a lot of people in them, with seven or eight people squeezed into an iron cage that was only two meters long and wide.
When Geng Xuan appeared at the door, these people had already seen Geng Xuan.
However, facing a murderer who could chop off half of a person's head with one sword, everyone was so scared that their faces turned pale and they dared not make any noise.
As for the fact that Geng Xuan killed a gambler right after that, the people in the iron cage didn't care too much.
It was not until Cheng Hui and Hong Quan appeared at the door that the people trapped in the two iron cages became excited.
"Quan Lang!"
"father!"
"elder brother!"
"..."
Cheng Hui and Hong Quan were about to rush forward, but before they started, they held themselves back.
He turned his head and looked at Geng Xuan, his eyes full of pleading.
Geng Xuan nodded and said, "Go ahead."
The two men quickly came to the iron cage where their family was imprisoned, and without looking for the key, they directly swung their swords to cut the lock.
The two families were reunited in this haunted place. Regardless of how they felt, Geng Xuan also walked to an iron cage.
There are the fewest people locked in this iron cage.
There was only an old woman with white hair and wrinkled face, and a little girl who was not even ten years old, huddled together.
When Geng Xuan approached, the old woman still had a blank expression on her face. Her eyes were open, but she didn't react at all.
The little girl huddled in her arms glanced at him timidly, then glanced at the long sword in his hand that had been soaked in too much blood, and her small body shrank back into the old woman's arms.
Geng Xuan asked: "Are you Xie Hang's grandmother and sister?"
"Brother?" The little girl's eyes instantly showed excitement.
But soon, her mouth was covered by the old woman's dry right hand.
But her dull eyes finally regained their luster. She looked at Geng Xuan and asked, "Is Xie Hang dead?"
Geng Xuan said: "He is not dead, he is alive and well.
Just before I came over, he even begged me to come and save you!"
After hearing the first half of Geng Xuan's words, the old woman showed a hopeful look in her eyes.
But after hearing the second half of his sentence, the hope in her eyes was shattered and she returned to silence.
She no longer spoke to Geng Xuan, but just hugged the little girl tightly in her arms.
"..."
Her attitude of refusing to communicate gave Geng Xuan a headache. He didn't want to waste too much time here.
So he said to Hong Quan and Cheng Hui, who were still flirting with their family members, "Come over here one by one."
Seeing this, Hong Quan, who was clasping hands with a beautiful woman, patted her palms and walked in front of Geng Xuan.
"... Gang leader." After a pause, he addressed him like this.
Geng Xuan nodded, pointed at the old woman and the little girl in the iron cage beside him, and said:
"I don't have time to chat with them. You take care of it. If they don't cooperate, go back and explain to Xie Hang."
Hong Quan glanced at the other three crowded cages and asked in a low voice, "Are we going to take them all away?"
Geng Xuan shook his head and said, "How is that possible?"
As he spoke, he walked towards the other three iron cages.
As early as when Hong Quan and Cheng Hui appeared and opened the iron cage to reunite with their families, the eyes of the three families trapped in the other three iron cages were all focused on them.
Some were so excited that they kept banging on the iron cage and shouting the two men's names.
Some directly asked about the whereabouts of their family members.
——They all knew that their families were taken away from Baiyuanji together with Hong Quan, Cheng Hui and others.
But no one paid any attention to them.
Geng Xuan came in front of the three iron cages and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"This family tradition and education really have a huge influence."
The three people he killed personally were far more famous than Hong Quan, Cheng Hui and Xie Hang.
The number of red names of their families actually exceeded that of the families of Hong Quan, Cheng Hui and Xie Hang.
If one quantifies their good fortune after death, several of them could contribute more than fifteen points of good fortune to him, while a few others could contribute between ten and fifteen points.
However, Geng Xuan also noticed that the population of these three families, especially the number of adult males, was significantly larger than that of the Hong Quan, Cheng Hui, and Xie Hang families.
And many people have a certain level of cultivation.
"This is the more important reason. Because their family is more powerful, they are qualified to seize more from the outside world, and their sins are naturally heavier.
...However, the situation may also be the opposite. It is precisely because these three families have shown greater aggressiveness and predatory behavior towards the outside world that the overall strength of the three of them is far stronger than that of Hong Quan, Cheng Hui, and Xie Hang.
... Or maybe it's both."
A sentence suddenly popped up in Geng Xuan's mind, "Good people should be pointed at with guns."
The Xie Hang family, which has the least fame, has only one male member left, a weakling who cries all the time, an old woman, and a weak girl. It can be said that the family is on the verge of extinction.
However, the family with the deepest and heaviest average red reputation is the one with the most prosperous population. From the old to the young, everyone is well-nourished and has strong Qi and blood.
If everything is left to nature, which family is more likely to die out, and which family is more likely to have its family line continued from generation to generation?
Survival and reproduction are the biggest principles that concern everything!
In front of them, everything else, whether right or wrong, good or evil, noble or humble, must stand aside.
Thinking of this, Geng Xuan's mood became inexplicably heavy.
He suddenly realized that chopping things like chopping melons and vegetables was quick and refreshing.
But this is only a temporary solution, it cannot cure the root cause, let alone eradicate it.
At this moment, the excited clapping and shouting in his ears seemed too noisy to him.
"Noisy!"
Geng Xuan suddenly made a move, and streams of energy shot out from his fingertips and penetrated into the brows of those whose red names had more than ten points of red luck.
His sudden, almost massacre-like attack frightened everyone.
Not only were the people who were still alive in the iron cage all terrified, but even the family members of Hong Quan, Cheng Hui and others who had already left the iron cage were all scared out of their wits.
When the fourteenth person fell, Geng Xuan stopped attacking, and the three iron cages that were originally extremely crowded suddenly became much emptier.
Because many of those who were originally standing are now lying flat on the ground.
Geng Xuan endured the intense burning sensation between his eyebrows and turned to Cheng Hui and Hong Quan, saying, "Let's go."
Their families looked at them in panic, but they just whispered firmly, "Follow us!"
Hong Quan pulled his wife and followed, with his parents following closely behind him.
He was also carrying Xie Hang's grandmother on his back, holding Xie Hang's sister in one hand and his own son in the other.
Cheng Hui had more family members, so he also carried the oldest one on his back and held the two younger and slower ones in his arms.
Seeing this, the others could only suppress their fear and followed closely.
As the burning sensation from between his eyebrows gradually faded, Geng Xuan refined the last bit of remaining energy, gaining a total of 182 points of good luck and 4 points of bad luck.
On average, each person contributed thirteen points of good luck to him.
Before that, including the old butler with the most bad luck and the unlucky guy with half his head cut off at the dungeon door, a total of 35 Lu family guards brought him a total of 736 points of good luck and 8 points of bad luck.
On average, each person contributed more than twenty-one points of luck to him.
All in all, this trip to the Lu family brought me a total of 922 points of good luck.
It is not much inferior to the good luck brought by the Anleji fleet.
However, the difficulty of completing these two tasks is so different.
This almost made Geng Xuan believe that actions like targeting the Lu family were a better way to obtain good fortune.
Picking only the hard bones to chew on only ends up being inferior.
"But my goal is to break the hard bones."
"It's a good thing to have someone you can pick on, but you can't just pick on the weak ones."
"We should take both the hard and soft measures into account, and do it with both hands. This is the right way."
……
When Geng Xuan led Hong Quan, Cheng Hui and a group of people back to the small courtyard where they first came out of the underground tunnel, Wang Xun and others had already moved all forty corpses out of the van.
Including 36 people from Anleji, including Cao Duo, Wu Yue, Zang Zigao, and three unlucky people from Baiyuanji, including the fat middle-aged male owner of the pawnshop.
The guards of the Lu family were also moved to the yard.
The two families following closely behind Cheng Hui and Hong Quan, as soon as they entered the yard, saw corpses filling almost the entire yard. They were so frightened that their legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground.
At this time, there were only a few people who could still stand upright.
Wang Xi walked straight to Geng Xuan's side and whispered, "Boss, is this okay?"
Geng Xuan glanced around the courtyard twice and asked, "Tell me, is there any way to give Master Feng and Anleji a greater stimulus?"
Wang Xi thought about it and shook his head slightly.
Everyone is dead, isn't this exciting enough?
He really couldn't think of anything more exciting than this.
Seeing that Wang Xi had no advice to offer, Geng Xuan could only give some pointers:
"Chop off all their heads and pile them up on top of each other.
Remember to put the heads of important figures such as Cao Duo, Wu Yue and Zang Zigao on the top, facing the gate of the courtyard.
Make sure everyone who comes in sees them first."
"..."
Wang Xuan looked at him in shock, and when he saw Geng Xuan looking at him, he quickly nodded and said:
"Boss, this method is good!"
Having said that, he immediately led the other eight people into action.
He walked past the corpses lying neatly on the ground, raised his knife and chopped off their heads one by one.
Geng Xuan turned his head and glanced at Cheng Hui and Hong Quan who were standing there in a daze, and said:
"You guys go too. Don't waste time. Finish early and leave early." The two men, who were obviously stronger than Wang Xun and others, felt their legs as heavy as if they were filled with lead after hearing this.
However, when Geng Xuan's gaze seemed to casually sweep over their family members, they immediately took action.
Soon, they joined the work of Wang Xun and others.
Their families saw their men/sons/brothers chopping off people's heads as easily as chopping wood. The horrific scene that they could not even dream of appeared in broad daylight, and their faces turned pale.
Geng Xuan turned his head to look at the children, then belatedly realized that this might be too much of a shock for them.
He wanted to give them a gentle smile to ease the situation, but wherever he looked, all the children, including Xie Hang's sister and Hong Quan's son, looked as if they were scalded by concentrated sulfuric acid, and quickly hid where he could not see them.
He gave up this boring idea.
With eleven people working together, the speed is still very fast.
Not long after, a six-story-high tower of human heads made up of seventy-five heads appeared on the stone table in the center of the yard.
At Geng Xuan's request, all the corpses were thrown into the room and doused with oil.
"Okay, let's all get down."
Wang Xi and eight other members of the Giant Bear Gang, Hong Quan, Cheng Hui, their families, and Xie Hang's grandmother and sister, quickly and orderly entered the underground.
Geng Xuan stood at the entrance of the tunnel, holding a torch. He took one last look and then threw the torch onto the pile of corpses covered in oil.
"boom--"
In an instant, flames began to burn fiercely on the pile of corpses.
Geng Xuan moved the stone slab back to the cave entrance and turned back down the stairs.
The families of Cheng Hui, Hong Quan and Xie Hang were all placed in the van. From adults to children, from the oldest to the youngest, they all sat quietly and behaved properly, without crying or making any noise.
"Let's go."
Geng Xuan was still leading the way.
The only difference was that Cheng Hui and Hong Quan, who had followed closely behind him when he came, also joined the ranks of pushing the cart.
In addition, the difference in the number of "passengers" between the two times was quite large, so the speed was greatly improved.
The group returned to the Chiwu Mountain Tunnel at a faster speed than when they came.
When Xie Hang saw his grandmother and sister appear in front of him, he was originally as sad as if he had lost his parents, but suddenly he became so excited that he cried and shouted.
"Shut up!" Geng Xuan thought he was being noisy and scolded him directly.
"Don't be angry, boss. I'm going to shut up right now. I'm going to shut up right now!"
The tears on Xie Hang's face were not yet dry, and he immediately nodded and agreed like a shameless man.
Geng Xuan nodded and said to Luo Qing: "Get ready and settle them all down. I will set off as soon as I come back."
Having said that, Geng Xuan led Da Huang and Ba Xiao away again.
This time, he did not bring Cheng Hui and Hong Quan with him, and he was not afraid that they would cause trouble after he left.
Apart from anything else, after accompanying him to the Lu family this time, they had no other way to go.
Whether it is Master Feng or An Leji, after discovering them, they will definitely greet them in the most "warm" way.
Moreover, their family members Geng Xuan were handed over to Luo Qing and others for settlement.
Nearly an hour later, Geng Xuan finally led Dahuang and Baxiao, who was lying exhausted on Dahuang's back, back.
After returning, Geng Xuan completely blocked the last narrow passage reserved for one person to pass sideways.
The convoy, which had been ready to set off long ago, quickly accelerated and set off with the return of Geng Xuan, quickly disappearing into the dim tunnel.
There was only the rumbling sound of wheels rolling over the ground, extending deep into Chiwu Mountain.
……
As Geng Xuan threw out a torch, the pile of headless corpses quickly caught fire.
Soon, the flames spread to the entire room and then to the adjacent rooms on the left and right.
Thick smoke quickly rose from the Lu family's house.
Soon, the entire Baiyuanji saw it.
All parties, who were already on edge, reacted quickly to the fire and smoke rising from the Lu family.
The forces of medicine and car dealerships clearly showed their support for Anleji;
Cloth merchants, rice merchants, ironworkers, etc., have no obvious preference, but are accustomed to standing on the side of the winner;
There are also the Grand Master Feng Yu and the leader of the blue-clothed guards.
Almost at the same time, they rushed towards the Lu family.
Although the head of the Lu family who is at the Marrow Refining Realm is not here, as the Marrow Refining Realms of other parties are trying to remain restrained and not act rashly, the Lu family is not something that other thieves can harm.
It is precisely because of this understanding that the raging fire and thick smoke rising from the Lu family are even more frightening and suspicious.
They were easily linked to the horrific traces at the site where the Anleji convoy was stationed outside Baiyuanji.
No one dared to fall behind because they were afraid that if they arrived late, the key information would be obscured by those who arrived earlier.
Therefore, each group of people arrived at the fire scene almost one after the other.
But when they arrived outside the courtyard where the fire was the most intense and saw the situation inside, no one dared to go in again.
They all stared at the courtyard in amazement. On the central stone table in the courtyard, at the top of the six-story human head tower, the three heads belonging to Cao Duo, Wu Yue and Zang Zigao were facing them, as if they were looking at each other from a distance.
The tower of human heads in the courtyard was surrounded by flames, and the crackling light of the fire reflected on their faces, making them glow red.
The living people standing outside the yard seemed to have their blood stagnant, their bodies frozen, and they felt cold inside and out.
At this moment, guards in blue rushed over from the direction of the Lu family dungeon.
Ignoring other people's gazes, he walked straight to Master Feng and the leader of the blue-clothed guards, whispering something quickly.
The others listened attentively, but could only vaguely hear some vague words, such as Quan, Hui, etc.
Just when others wanted to ask what was going on, Master Feng said nothing and turned around and left with the others.
Everyone looked at each other and immediately rushed to the location of the Lu family dungeon.
Before I even walked down the stairs, the strong smell of blood hit me in the face.
When they entered the dungeon, they looked at the situation inside in shock.
Corpse!
All I see are corpses!
Except for the one with half of his head missing at the door and the one with an "open eye" on his forehead in the dungeon next to it, all the other corpses were concentrated in three iron cages.
Everyone soon discovered that the body at the bottom of the iron cage had obviously been dead for some time.
The corpses on the upper layer of the iron cage had all died not long ago, and blood was still oozing from their wounds.
Considering the actions of the green-clothed guards just now, everyone quickly realized that these people who had just died were most likely killed by the green-clothed guards.
They looked at each other and guessed that there must be a big problem.
But for a moment, he couldn't figure out what the connection was between these dead people and the human head tower in the yard.
That is the real culprit that can detonate the entire Baiyuanji.
The real culprit!
Until a car dealership manager stared at an iron cage for a while and said to everyone: "This should be the family of the pawnshop owner!"
Everyone looked at each other, and someone immediately said:
"I remember that at noon, six people, including the pawnshop owner, were taken to the Anleji convoy.
After the news of the convoy's scene was reported back, the old housekeeper of the Lu family immediately sent people to arrest all the families of the six people.
By the time I remembered to do it, it was already too late.”
"…Then why are there only three families' bodies here? What about the other three families?"
When someone raised this question, everyone immediately looked at each other and thought of a possibility.
There were six families that were supposed to be locked up together in the dungeon, but there were only three here.
The other three naturally left.
Moreover, looking at those chains that were forcibly broken, it is very likely that they were rescued alive!
The people who rescued them were most likely related to the three blue-clothed guards who also disappeared with the convoy!
After everyone realized this, some people immediately went to the fire scene to confirm it through the faces of the dead bodies.
Someone rushed out of the Lu family and went straight to Baiyuan Pavilion.
I want to ask Master Feng and the leader of the blue-clothed guards in person what the hell is going on.
But when they rushed into Baiyuan Pavilion, they saw only an empty Baiyuan Pavilion.
There was not a single ghost in there.
There was also no one at the blue-clothed guards' station nearby.
Not only were these blue-clad guards missing, but all of their families were also missing.
It took a long time before accurate news came.
Just now, a large convoy was rushing towards the wilderness far away from Anleji.
The leader was Master Feng, the leader of the blue-clothed guards, and all the blue-clothed guards who were willing to leave with them.
However, there were not many blue-clothed guards who left with him, and none of them had families to support them.
Most of those who had families and businesses, elderly parents and young children to support, stayed, but they all took off the skin of the blue-clothed guards and either hid themselves or actively sought new support.
With such a quick and decisive action, many people have guessed that Master Feng had already made preparations for any emergency.
Thinking about the people coming from Anleji who were about to arrive with great anger, those who had previously supported neither Master Feng nor Anleji, or even supported both sides, and thought that they had nothing to do this time, began to feel itchy on their scalps.
An Le Ji, who came with great rage, was bound to explode violently.
Originally, they thought that it was Master Feng who was bearing the brunt of this anger.
He has a strong body, stubborn bones and great strength, so I think he should be able to handle it.
Naturally, there would be nothing for them to do at that time.
But now, Master Feng and all his close confidants have slipped away.
This puts these double-dealers in an awkward position.
The key point is that Anleji, who came with anger, was like a punch into the air.
What should we do now?
Should An Leji just be patient and suppress the anger in his heart?
When thinking of the six-story tower of human heads and the heads of Cao Duo and Wu Yue at the top, no one dared to have such extravagant dreams.
For Anleji, this was an unprecedented humiliation!
They will definitely do something!
Before the real murderer is caught, those who dislike them, make them angry, and are right in front of them will immediately become the punching bags!
Thinking of this, several of the masters looked at each other silently.
Then, about half an hour later, those forces that were loyal to Anle Ji received a piece of news that left them speechless.
Another leader fled with his entire family.
Because he was in such a hurry, he didn't take anything with him except valuable belongings that were easy to carry and a very small number of close confidants, and left everything at Baiyuanji.
Everyone suddenly discovered that Baiyuanji, which had been fighting openly and secretly for decades, had suddenly become much quieter.
And they inexplicably became the winners of this fight.
Lie down and win!
The victory was unclear.
However, they did not feel much joy, but rather felt guilty and uneasy.
I feel guilty because too many people have left and Baiyuanji is too weak now.
If any family comes to attack, there is a great possibility that they will seize control of Baiyuanji!
Don't think this can't happen.
Lifang has never been a docile herbivore!
I was worried because I was thinking about the people from Anleji who were about to arrive with anger!
All those who could have been in the front had slipped away, and now they had no choice but to deal with it.
In the past, they were the ones most loyal to Anleji among Baiyuanji.
What now?
At this time, vicious incidents continued to be reported from all over the market. They did not dare to continue to be bad, and immediately took on the responsibility of guarding Baiyuanji.
Those blue-clad guards who stayed behind soon took to the streets again and began to maintain order in the market, forcefully suppressing all those who wanted to take advantage of the chaos and had ulterior motives.
At this moment, it was already evening.
After an almost dreamlike transformation, Baiyuanji has restored order and stability.
The unrest that affected the entire Baiyuanji disappeared.
Oh no.
The old agitation and restlessness disappeared.
But new unrest and uneasiness were already brewing in the hearts of everyone in Baiyuanji.
From the people at the bottom of the market who had been frightened for a long time, to the blue-clothed guards who had completely changed their appearance, to the masters who were once the most loyal to Anleji.
Such emotions reached their climax in the middle of the night when the rumbling sound of horse hooves like thunder and raging tide came from the direction of Anleji, and even when it arrived at the gate of Baiyuanji, the speed did not stop at all. A young man wearing bright armor and a blood-red cloak flying behind him took the lead in riding into Baiyuanji.
Not only was the young man himself wearing armor, but the mount under him, which was bigger and more majestic than other horses, was also covered in armor.
Despite adding so much weight, the speed seems to be unaffected and is still extremely fast.
Behind the young man, armored cavalry continued to rush into Baiyuanji.
The cavalry that rushed into Baiyuanji rushed straight towards Baiyuan Pavilion, leaving behind a series of dense and crisp horse hoof sounds.
The constant sound of horse hooves was like a soul-stirring hammer, constantly striking the hearts of everyone in Baiyuanji.
Baiyuanji was in deathly silence.
The cavalry team stopped at Baiyuan Pavilion. The young man did not dismount and shouted:
"Is there anyone alive? Come out!"
The door of Baiyuan Hall was closed and no one responded.
At this moment, three people approached quickly from the side.
The young man glanced at them and asked, "Where is Feng Yu?"
"He's gone." one person replied.
The young man was stunned and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
This person quickly and quietly recounted the series of events that had occurred since noon today.
As he listened to the story, the young man's face became more and more ugly.
Soon, he rode his horse into the Lu family.
The fire has been put out.
But no one moved the six-story human head tower, which still stood quietly on the stone table.
The young man was still staring at the familiar faces on the tower of human heads, his heart was so agitated that he didn't know how to express himself. However, another armored cavalryman who came in with him started roaring first.
This person is none other than the patriarch of the Lu family.
Apart from Anleji, he is also the biggest victim of today's incident.
The young man came to his senses and looked at those powerful figures who he had to win over in the past in order to remotely control Baiyuanji. At this moment, there was only a cold expression on their faces, without a trace of their previous smiles.
"You mean, except for you guys, everyone else ran away?"
"Yes."
"Why didn't you stop it?!"
"Uh--"
"waste!!"
The young man's merciless scolding made the few people who thought they were the most powerful in Baiyuanji blush and were so embarrassed that they didn't know how to respond.
The young man did not continue to vent his anger, and this was not his intention to lead a group of cavalrymen to charge directly at Baiyuanji.
Soon, he led these most powerful people in Baiyuanji who had the most comprehensive understanding of today's situation out of Baiyuanji and rushed straight to the place where Anleji's convoy was stationed, which was also the crime scene.
Before the group arrived at the scene, they could see from afar that the area near the scene was already brightly lit.
Many people held blazing torches and surrounded the crime scene.
Some people were squatting on the wasteland that was soaked with too much blood, combing the land carefully with tools such as brushes and shovels in their hands.
There were also several people who were each leading a large, ferocious-looking dog, circling around the crime scene.
Seeing the young group arrive, one of the people who was squatting on the ground combing his hair with a brush stood up and walked towards them.
He shook his head and said:
“The site was so badly damaged that no significant findings have been made so far.
In addition, the murderer should have made some arrangements specifically for dog tracking.
These are the ones we have the best smelling ability, but we didn't get anything out of it. We can only circle around the scene."
The young man nodded, then shook his head and said, "Now there is a new situation."
"What?" asked the man holding the brush.
The young man said, "There's something fishy going on at Baiyuanji too."
He gave a general account of the situation.
Finally, he sighed: "The vanished convoy and the murderer, should we track them down, and how should we track them down?
Should we chase those who escaped early, especially Feng Yu’s group?
How much involvement did they have in this matter? How many people should be assigned to chase them?
There is also Baiyuanji. Now is the most empty time, and it is also the most suitable time for us to intervene. But if we want to intervene, how many people will we need?
What to do if you encounter fierce resistance?
...I originally thought it was just a small matter, but now it has turned into such a terrible situation. The amount of manpower we have is simply not enough!"
The man holding the brush thought for a moment before suggesting:
"Let's report the current situation to the Grand Master first and see what he decides."
The young man nodded and sighed, "This is the only way."
The several powerful figures of Baiyuanji who were following them were in a disheveled state.
Are you going to take over Baiyuanji now?
Not subtle at all?
So direct!
The point is, what do we do?!
The young man ignored them completely. After discussing with his companions, he sent someone on horseback back to Anleji to report the latest situation.
Because the average subscription of two updates per day is increasing slowly, and with the current trend, it will be difficult to reach 500 by the end of the month, so from today onwards it will be changed to a single update, but the number of words will not change.

In addition, the discovery of Hong Quan and his family members in the Lu family dungeon only added some drama to the operation, making it more complete, and indirectly triggered some thoughts of the protagonist. It did not have a fundamental impact on the core purpose of the operation. It is not the case that without these people, the operation would not achieve its goal.
As long as the tower of human heads exists, it is enough to achieve this effect.
