Ding Shian grinned maliciously and followed closely behind.

That's more like it!

...

Outside the cellar,

The once open space was now completely surrounded by people.

The members of the Lü family, their eyes flashing with murderous intent, silently stared at the entrance to the cellar...

And a man wearing a clown mask.

In front of the man wearing the clown mask.

Several members of the Lü family lay unconscious on the ground.

The air around them was thick with a chilling atmosphere.

The man wearing the clown mask was Xiao Zizai, who had altered his body shape using the art of bone shrinking.

now,

His lips were painted a bright scarlet, and he was biting an unlit cigarette.

It has a strange appearance.

He remained silent as he watched the Lu family members who had surrounded him.

Or,

He was looking at the leader of the Lü family members at the very front.

The one with the gloomy face, narrow eyes with a scar, and one blind eye... was Lü Ci.

Xiao Zizai sighed inwardly...

Sure enough, it seems that Lü Ci realized the identities of the four of them last night.

Then, they used a 'publicly declared scheme' to get them to take action.

If we don't rescue Lü Liang, we'll just have to waste our time in Lü Family Village.

If they were to try to rescue them, they would inevitably be surrounded and killed by the entire village.

Every villager in Lüjia Village is an extraordinary person.

They either possess the Ruyi Jin (如意劲) or the 'Minghun Shu' (明魂术).

Xiao Zizai's only worry now is whether Lü Ci has seen through his identity.

The company's delicate balance in the world of supernatural beings.

...It cannot be broken now.

At this moment,

One of the exceptionally talented juniors quietly approached Lü Ci.

Then, staring intently at Xiao Zizai, who was wearing the clown mask, he whispered:

"Sir, there's no need for you to lift a finger. Watch me alone take care of this scoundrel!"

The young man spoke with an arrogant expression.

Among the younger generation in Lüjia Village.

He was a top-tier individual, possessing unparalleled cultivation and talent.

But unfortunately...

But he didn't awaken that damned 'Soul Enlightenment Technique'!

Therefore, no matter how high his own skill was in Ruyi Jin, he could not compare to his peers who had awakened the 'Minghun Technique'!

why?

Why? !

Why should the 'Minghun Technique' be considered superior to the 'Yuyi Jin'?

Today, he wants to prove to his grandfather that when foreign enemies attack, the Lu family's Ruyi Jin is the only reliable thing!

Lu Ci glanced at the young man beside him.

"What's the rush? There are still a few rats inside that haven't come out yet. Are you expecting me to... take charge?"

The last four words.

It was nothing less than a guillotine gleaming with a cold light.

The young man, who had been arrogant and defiant, suddenly trembled uncontrollably and stammered:

"Grandpa...I...no...I dare not!"

Looking at the young man's performance, a hint of disappointment flashed across Lü Ci's eyes.

Among the younger generation, there are actually some he has high hopes for...

It was Lü Liang who disappointed him greatly.

At least this little bastard dared to go against him...

The others, perhaps having been intimidated by his power for too long, had lost their inherent courage. These people appeared arrogant on the surface, but in reality, they were all all bark and no bite.

When faced with real problems, they simply can't handle them.

This is also why he never killed Lü Liang.

This is also the reason why they 'indulged' Quanxing in rescuing Lü Liang...

Even if Lü Liang had a thousand faults and deserved to be torn to pieces, he couldn't die...

If Lü Liang dies, then the Lü family's Minghun Technique will be severed...

His years of hard work have all gone down the drain.

...

Lu Ci narrowed his remaining eye slightly.

I'll have to put on a show with the shady doctor from Quanxing later.

While allowing them to successfully rescue Lü Liang, they must also pay a corresponding price.

This is to give an explanation to everyone in the village.

It also serves as an explanation for his past decisions.

As the 'heaven' of the Lü family.

Lü Ci could not allow himself to be wrong.

If it's really a mistake... then let that mistake disappear.

Tap tap... tap...

Suddenly,

In the silence, the sound of light footsteps could be heard.

As the light footsteps drew closer.

The villagers of Lüjia Village, who were on high alert, also saw three... no... four people emerge from the cellar!

One of the middle-aged men was carrying Lü Liang on his back.

Tu Junfang tied Lü Liang to his back with a rope and glanced at Xiao Zizai, who was wearing a clown mask.

Suddenly he said,

"Brother, the plan has changed."

Xiao Zizai cast a questioning look at him.

"Ok?"

What plans have changed?

Tu Junfang did not respond, but instead looked with great interest at the people from Lüjia Village who had surrounded them.

then,

Xiao Zizai suddenly looked at Bai Yuan.

The latter's calm expression... caused a strange glint to flash in his eyes...

After seeing the 'rats' come out of the cellar.

The crowd of people from Lüjia Village surrounding the area all took a step forward in unison.

His killing intent was undisguised.

An overwhelming sense of oppression.

Let the air freeze.

Lu Liang, who was on Tu Junfang's body, seemed to sense the 'concern' from his fellow villagers, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

Lü Ci raised one arm.

The people from Lüjia Village behind them stopped in their tracks.

then,

Lu Ci looked at Bai Yuan and spoke in a cold voice.

"Sect Leader of Quanxing, you didn't come to my Lü Family Village in person, yet you rescued the sinners from the village."

"You Quanxing people want to challenge the Lü family?"

After the words fell.

Bai Yuan did not respond, his face expressionless. He simply took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it slowly.

This scene,

But Lü Ci sensed something was amiss...

no response?

Does this guy really want to challenge the Lü family?

Like in the bamboo forest last time...

In a flash,

Lu Ci's face was grim, and anger flashed in the corners of his eyes.

however,

After Bai Yuan exhaled a puff of smoke, he said something that puzzled everyone.

"Old Master Lü, we have a question for you. Once we get a response, we'll leave Lü Liang behind and depart immediately."

The villagers of Lüjia Village were immediately puzzled.

Lu Ci frowned, feeling that things had deviated from his expectations, and replied coldly:

"...explain."

Bai Yuan leaned his cigarette against the wall, extinguished it, and a smile played on his lips as he asked slowly and deliberately:

"Lu Ci, is there any connection between your Lu family's Soul-Clearing Technique and the Dual-Handed Technique, one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills?"

The words fell,

Xiao Zizai suddenly turned his head, his eyes filled with...admiration for the first time ever.

The younger generation in Lüjia Village looked bewildered.

One of the Eight Extraordinary Skills, the Dual-Handed Technique, what is that?

but...

In an instant, the older generation of people in Lüjia Village broke out in a cold sweat, and the hairs on their bodies stood on end!

It was as if I had heard the most terrifying thing in the world.
