"You, a member of the Hu family, young and promising, why do you have to go against your superiors? Think carefully in your next life, don't make a foolish mistake!"

Wen Qin walked in front, with two soldiers supporting Hu Bufan on either side of him as they walked forward.

Blood was still flowing down Hu Bufan's body.

His mouth was gagged, so he couldn't speak at all and could only roar.

Seeing that Hu Bufan was staring at him, Wen Qin chuckled.

"Angry? Don't understand why we're doing this? Well, then we'll let you die knowing why!"

Wen Qin waved his hand, and the soldiers pulled the rag out of Hu Bufan's mouth and released him.

"Fuck your mother!"

Hu Bufan cursed angrily, his eyes turning red, and charged directly at Wen Qin.

Wen Qin looked at Hu Bufan with a mocking expression, then swung his right hand, sending him flying and crashing into the wall.

Hu Bufan coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

Wen Qin approached Hu Bufan and said with a smile, "Didn't you issue a document a little over a month ago saying there was some kind of gang in the county—oh, the Black Stick Gang, what a lame name—"

Wen Qin made a sarcastic remark about the name of the Black Stick Gang, then, seeing the change in Hu Bufan's expression, smiled and continued, "Looks like you understand. That's right, those children you saved are what Eunuch Li and his group need! The Black Stick Gang also belongs to Eunuch Li! You ruined our plans, so naturally we won't let you off the hook!"

Hu Bufan was stunned.

Is the child what Eunuch Li wanted?

Eunuch Li is the Empress Dowager's man, which means that all these children are because of that Empress Dowager—

He looked up at Wen Qin: "So that's how it is. You deserve to die, Eunuch Li deserves to die, and the Empress Dowager deserves to die even more!"

"You're asking for death!" Wen Qin's expression changed drastically, and he raised his hand to strike.

A huge fist suddenly appeared and punched him in the shoulder.

"Snap!"

He was sent flying, his shoulder bones shattered into pieces, and his internal organs were shattered by the terrifying punch.

Lu Chen did not go all out; otherwise, Wen Qin would have turned into a bloody mist with that attack.

"Who?!"

Wenqin looked at the newcomer with a terrified expression.

Lu Chen waved his hands left and right, slapping each of the two soldiers once.

"Bang!"

Their heads exploded instantly, slapped against the wall and turned into a paste.

[Under the host's influence, the fates of Wang Chang and the other two have changed.]

[Life Points +945, Total 1036]

Lu Chen walked up to Wen Qin and stepped on his leg.

He stomped down.

"Snapped!"

Minced meat +1.

Then switch to the other foot.

Minced meat +1.

"Ah!" Wenqin cried out in pain, as if he had seen a demon, filled with terror.

Lu Chen didn't look at him, but walked up to Hu Bufan.

"How are you?"

Hu Bufan recognized Lu Chen's voice and was quite surprised.

"Ahem—what brings you here?"

"If I hadn't come, you would have been dragged down with me." Lu Chen sighed, helping Hu Bufan to his feet. "I'm leaving him with you; you can take your anger out on him!"

He pulled a knife from one of the soldiers and handed it to Hu Bufan.

Hu Bufan glanced at the knife in his hand, then at Wen Qin, who was lying on the ground trembling.

Wen Qin was immediately terrified and begged for mercy: "Don't kill me! I'm the Assistant Magistrate of Shanyang Prefecture. If you kill me, the higher-ups will definitely send people to investigate. Think of your family, think of the Hu family!"

He was sweating profusely and his face was deathly pale.

Hu Bufan laughed.

"Does that mean you can kill an old person at will without investigation? Do you think you can kill a county magistrate at will without investigation?"

Wen Qin subconsciously said, "Without power or influence, who would care about them? I'm different! If you let me go, I'll pretend I know nothing, okay? Eunuch Li is still in Shahu County. He's at the peak of the Yuan Qi Realm. If you make a move, he'll definitely avenge me!"

"Don't worry, he'll be on his way with you soon!" Lu Chen said coldly from the side.

Wen Qin looked at Lu Chen and pleaded desperately, "Don't be foolish! I'm really thinking of you. Li Ying is the Empress Dowager's man. With the Empress Dowager in power, who dares to touch him? Are you out of your mind? Let me go, and nothing will happen!"

He still harbored illusions, believing that neither Lu Chen nor Hu Bufan would dare to kill him.

Hu Bufan gave an awkward smile.

Haha, a county magistrate, an old farmer, and those children—in these people's eyes, they're nothing but death, easily killed and beaten.

Their lives are their lives!

He raised the knife, his eyes completely changing, becoming cold and indifferent.

Wen Qin panicked and raised his hand to shield himself: "No! I was wrong, don't kill me! I really know I was wrong!"

"puff!"

Hu Bufan slashed down with his sword.

Wenqin's head rolled off the bed, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

Seeing Wen Qin fall to the ground, the murderous intent in Hu Bufan's eyes completely dissipated, and his gaze dimmed.

"Why----"

He let out a long breath, his back hunched, as if all his energy had been drained away.

"You should be happy that the bad guy is dead. The more bad people die in this world, the more enlightened it becomes. You're acting on behalf of heaven. If it weren't for the fact that I implicated you, I wouldn't have let you kill this person!"

Lu Chen was indeed a little pained by the expense.

This is at least a congenital one, and a perfect congenital one at that, worth at least two thousand life points.

Hu Bufan forced a smile, feeling somewhat tired.

"Alright, if you stay here any longer, it'll only cause more problems. Come with me, let's rest at my place for a bit, and we'll figure out what to do next when I get back!"

Lu Chen led Hu Bufan to his rented house.

"Don't move around here, I'm going out for a bit."

After settling Hu Bufan in, Lu Chen glanced at his weapons and equipment. He held a knife in one hand, a tiger-head bronze staff filled with caltrops, several throwing knives at his waist, and two breastplates on his body.

Hu Bufan twitched as he looked at her.

"At your level, is a breastplate still useful?"

"Whether it's useful or not, it's always good to be prepared!"

After dressing properly, Lu Chen arrived at the courtyard, glanced in the direction, and then soared into the sky.

The sun was shining brightly.

May this boundless yang energy burn away all the filth in the world.

Hu Bufan watched Lu Chen's departing figure and silently prayed for him.

Lu Chen used his cultivation technique almost instantly to reach several miles outside the mine.

To avoid alerting the enemy and revealing his strength, Lu Chen concealed his aura and instead started walking, running wildly on the ground.

After running for a while, we finally saw a dilapidated mine. The rusty red mountains were bare and there was hardly any vegetation.

There's a wooden fence around it, and the entrance is open.

Lu Chen glanced around and cautiously walked in.

On a platform in the mine, Yang Ce, Li Ying, and Wang Yuan sat in their seats, drinking tea and laughing as they looked at Lu Chen's appearance.

"Eunuch Li, this is the person!" Yang Ce nodded towards Lu Chen with his chin.

Li Ying glanced at Lu Chen while holding her teacup, then took a sip of tea and said casually, "He doesn't seem anything special. He shouldn't be more than the Yuan Qi Realm. Yang Zhan and the others should be able to handle him."

Yang Ce laughed and said, "Haha, I feel more at ease having you here to oversee things. Uncle Zhan and the others have been preparing for days, just waiting for him to fall into the trap."

"Don't worry, with me here, he can't cause any trouble. Have some tea!"

Yang Zhan, Sha Ge, and Piao Piao, who were standing to the side, heard the entire conversation between the two.

They were also full of confidence.

A person at the peak of the Yuanqi Realm is practically a half-step Martial Saint.

In this world, there are only a handful of martial saints; I've never heard of any wild martial saint.

In other words, as long as the Martial Saint doesn't come out, they are safe here and there won't be any problems!

Xiangfei hid behind a large rock next to the mine, concealing herself very well, almost blending into the surrounding environment.

Tang Hao, the third uncle of the Tang family, held a porcelain bottle in his hand and hid upwind. His aura was almost indistinguishable from the stone next to him.

Fortune favors the bold.

So what if someone is at the peak of the Yuan Qi Realm? If they encounter his [Spirit Sealing Powder], even a Martial Saint could be taken down if they are not careful.

Strictly speaking, this thing was designed to deal with the Martial Saint.

It cannot kill people directly, but it can seal the true qi, primordial qi, and spiritual energy in the body of the poisoned person, making them unable to use them.

Without spiritual energy, it's like a tiger with its teeth pulled, left to its own devices.

Lu Chen arrived in the center and shouted, "I'm here! Where are you all? Are you all too shy to show yourselves? Are you unmarried young women, or are you cowards too afraid to show your faces?"

"Hmph, all you do is boast and talk, unaware that your death is near!"

Yang Zhan, with his leopard-like head and piercing eyes, roared, his voice like muffled thunder.

He jumped down from the mountainside of the mine, followed closely by Sha Ge, who had a cold, expressionless face, and Piao Piao.

Three people quietly appeared behind Lu Chen.

There were three guards, all at the peak of the Innate Realm, skilled in combined attacks, who blocked Lu Chen's retreat.

Lu Chen remained completely calm and even had the leisure to look up at the mountainside.

Yang Ce and Li Ying were leisurely drinking tea, looking at the people below with amusement.

"Where are the children?"

Lu Chen did not rush to make a move.

"You're about to die, and you still care about your children? When you're dead, I'll send them to see you!"

Yang Zhan didn't want to waste words with Lu Chen, so he lunged forward, his long, tattered silver spear gleaming with a chilling aura, the tip of the spear swaying as it aimed straight at Lu Chen's brow.

The killer beside him, wielding a large, blood-red battle blade, leaped up suddenly, filling the air with a terrifying killing intent and the stench of blood.

Piaopiao moved with graceful ease, flicking her fingers to shoot out the embroidery needle with incredible speed.

The three people behind him also pressed towards Lu Chen according to the Three Talents Formation, their killing intent palpable.

Xiangfei, who had been hiding, also revealed herself with madness and murderous intent in her eyes, her gaze fixed on Lu Chen.

For a moment, Lu Chen was like a lone boat in a vast ocean, drifting aimlessly, about to be smashed by the waves at any moment.
