Turning over and dismounting, the young man slowly walked into the village.

"Come out, aren't you just trying to lure us into action?" He spoke loudly. Eyes darting around.

"Now, I'm here."

As soon as he finished speaking, an extra person appeared in front of the ancient well in the middle of the village.

A figure wearing a black robe, with long hair disheveled, and hands hanging down.

The man lowered his head and couldn't see his face. He just stood facing the young master. On the side, the horse that Lu Quan'an left before was nowhere to be seen. There was only a bag of food left beside the well.

"We have made an agreement long ago that the water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river. What do you mean by taking action now?" Upon seeing this, the young master said coldly.

Bang! !

What answered him was an iron ax flying rapidly from the side.

The ax rotated at high speed, making bursts of sharp sound, and then, as fast as lightning, it slashed across the young master's temple.

Chi.

Blood splattered.

The young man's entire head was split open with an axe, and a bloody mouth that was as deep as a finger appeared on his head. He stood frozen on the spot, motionless.

"Is this your show of strength?" The young master stared at the weirdo with an expressionless face. The bloody gash on his head, which was as big as a palm, healed quickly, just like an open flower quickly closing again. Soon it was as if there was no injury at all, with no trace on the temple.

The ax fell to the ground aside, covered with dust and dirt, but there was no blood on the blade.

The young master calmed down and slowly walked towards the man beside the well.

It's on a mountain road about half a mile away from the village.

Lu Sheng and his twenty cavalry subordinates stood quietly on the winding mountain road, looking in the direction of the village.

He was halfway up the mountain, and could just see the flat land where the deserted village was. Ordinary people's eyesight might not be able to see that far and clearly, but Lu Sheng was different.

He looked quietly at the young man at the entrance of the village. He also saw the weird scene just now.

"My head was chopped into two pieces, but if it can still be recovered, is it still a human being?" He frowned, feeling a little irritated.

He has seen ghosts and weird things before, but this is the first time for him, a member of an aristocratic family, to fight with someone. But this was completely different from what he expected.

"Perhaps the young man from the aristocratic family hasn't arrived yet, and that young man is also a ghost in this forbidden area." Lu Sheng speculated in his mind. But before leaving, the old gang leader specifically warned that any young man wearing a green shirt and a smile walking into the forbidden area alone without any incident must be from the Zhen family.

"Are all people in the Zhen family so weird?" Lu Sheng's brows furrowed even more.

He was riding a horse, holding a knife in one hand and the reins in the other.

"The aristocratic family is the only one that can fight against demons and monsters. This is what Duanmuwan told me. So why and how can they fight against those extremely powerful beings?" Lu Sheng recalled Duanmuwan and Taoist priest Yan Kai, who was suspected to be a descendant of the aristocratic family. I didn't even see that they had any extremely powerful abilities.

Just like Yan Kai, he only relied on his own blood to kill ghosts. When fighting in the ruined temple, his performance was even worse than his current self.

"Foreigner, don't we go over?" Someone from Feiying Hall came over and asked in a low voice. Their eyesight was not strong enough to see the details in the deserted village in the distance, and they had no idea what Lu Sheng was planning to do when he stopped here.

Lu Sheng watched the young master slowly walk into the village. He didn't let out a breath until the earthen house blocked his view and no one could be seen.

"Let's go down and have a look."

"yes!"

A group of people slowly descended the mountain and approached the deserted village.

They took a shortcut, so they were faster than ordinary people. However, this shortcut was very narrow, and those who were not experts in hand-eye coordination generally did not dare to take this route close to the cliff.

Following the mountain path down the mountain, Lu Sheng led the people to the entrance of the village. They did not go in, but just dismounted.

hiss.

The horses seemed a little uneasy, snorting heavily and turning their bodies to get away from here. He was held tightly by everyone and tied to a thick dead tree by the roadside.

Except for Lu Sheng, everyone else actually didn't know what mission they were here to perform. They only knew that it was Lu Sheng's order and that this mission was somewhat dangerous and they needed to be careful.

"Shall we go in?" Fei Ying Tang Gao Yi Hongying, who was leading the team, asked Lu Sheng.

"Don't worry, there are already people inside. We just need to wait outside and seal off the surrounding area to prevent anyone from entering or leaving." Lu Sheng ordered.

"Understood!" Everyone dispersed and slowly patrolled around the village.

Twenty people separated and surrounded the entire deserted village, which was not too sparse. From a distance, everyone could see someone around them.

Lu Sheng thought for a while, then stood at the entrance of the village and listened carefully to what was going on inside.

There seemed to be someone fighting in the earthen house. Although the movement was not loud, it was very clear to him.

"What kind of power does this family have?" Lu Sheng was very curious.

Now, he is truly the number one master in the Red Whale Gang. Even if he is an old gang leader, if he really has to risk his life, he will definitely be the winner.

Even with the ghosts he encountered before, he actually wasn't in much danger. Therefore, he now wants to know more clearly what level his strength is in the eyes of the family.

Holding the handle of the knife tightly, Lu Sheng slowly walked into the village.

"The sound came from the largest mud house on the right."

He determined the direction and slowly and silently approached the earthen house.

When he walked to the window of the earthen house, his breathing became slightly heavier and he slowly looked into the window.

It was dark inside and nothing could be seen.

Lu Sheng frowned and moved closer, trying to see more clearly.

"What are you looking at? Can you tell me?"

Suddenly a gentle voice came from behind Lu Sheng.

He trembled, turned around quickly, and almost drew his sword and struck out.

"You!!?" Lu Sheng took two steps back before he could clearly see the person who suddenly appeared. It turned out to be the young man in green who had just entered the village before.

The other person had a gentle smile on his face and didn't have any weapons on his body. He just stood quietly behind him.

The two were no more than two meters apart.

"Who are you?!" Lu Sheng said in a deep voice. The other party was able to sneak up behind him silently. This kind of light skill footwork was the only one he had ever seen in his life.

"Me?" The young master's smile remained unchanged and he replied, "My name is Zhen Yi. You are the Red Whale Gang who came to deal with the aftermath, right?

There are no ghosts here anymore, but it will be sealed off for ten days and no living creatures will be allowed to come in. "

"So it's Mr. Zhen, any living thing you mentioned?" Lu Sheng's heart moved, and he quickly bowed his head respectfully.

"You can understand it as anyone." Zhen Yi smiled.

"I understand." Lu Sheng nodded.

"Just understand." Zhen Yi smiled and nodded, "You can handle it here. Remember, don't let anyone in after I leave."

"Yes." Lu Sheng lowered his head and said.

"By the way, tell Hong Mingzi not to be so reckless in the future." Zhen Yi gently put her hand on the window sill of the room, used the force to stand upright, then turned around and slowly left in the distance.

Lu Sheng kept his head lowered until the other party was completely far away and disappeared from sight, then he slowly raised his head.

Looking back, I saw a black palm print clearly left on the window sill of the earthen house.

With a gloomy expression on his face, he stretched out his hand and touched the palm print lightly.

hiss.

A sharp pain spread rapidly along the fingers and spread all over the body.

Lu Sheng watched as the flesh and blood on his index finger quickly turned black and then withered, as if he had been poisoned or drenched in strong acid. The flesh on his finger quickly shriveled up, like a popped balloon.

Chi!

He made a prompt decision and quickly cut off the flesh and blood on his fingertips.

The black mass of flesh and blood fell to the ground, soon emitting black smoke and disappearing. The energy in Lu Sheng's body rushed toward his fingers crazily, continuing to resist the remaining black flesh.

"It's such a strong poison." Lu Sheng gasped, the pain made his forehead sweat, and the veins on his neck were exposed. He looked carefully at the black color on his fingers. After consuming a lot of inner energy, the black color slowly faded away bit by bit.

The residual black flesh and blood the size of a sesame dot actually cost more than 80% of his inner energy. The combination of Yin Yang Jade Crane Technique and Chi Ji Mental Technique was able to barely suppress this small amount of black flesh and blood.

Lu Sheng picked up the knife and carefully dug out this small piece of flesh and blood.

Although the pain was unbearable with his fingers connected to his heart, he still endured the severe pain and carefully dug out the black color.

"Is the gap between people from aristocratic families so big?"

His mood became heavier and heavier, and he looked at the black handprints left on the window sill.

"It's not a good place to stay for a long time." Lu Sheng turned around quickly, planning to leave first.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the mouth of the well, where there was a package placed on the edge. The black and red package had a huge road character embroidered on it.

"It's a cloth specially made for my family!" Lu Sheng's heart trembled, and he quickly walked over, stood by the well and picked up the package.

He opened the bag gently and found some food and a letter inside. Lu Sheng quickly opened it and took a look.

The letter was left for Lu Chenxin. It detailed the direction to Yanshan City, the signs they would make along the way, and how to find the signs.

"This is a letter left for Lu Chenxin. In other words, my family has been to this village. And Lu Chenxin is missing." Lu Sheng quickly analyzed the results.

"Fortunately, nothing serious happened. Lu Chen is not a good person at heart, and it doesn't matter life or death." But he thought about it again, "I remember that when I was on my way, there were no villages here. Why didn't something happen sooner rather than later? It happened to be Did something happen to my family while they were moving?"

After leaving the village, Zhen Yi's figure was no longer visible outside, only the other good hands of the Red Whale Gang were guarding him.

Lu Sheng hid the injury on his hand in his sleeve.

"You all have to watch out for me. No one is allowed to go in. Two people will go back and report the news, and let the replacement people coordinate!"

He began to arrange the manpower to blockade the place. Just twenty people would definitely not be enough. Must be rotated.

"yes!"

After giving orders to his subordinates, Lu Sheng rushed towards the mountain city without stopping.

The family is in the process of moving. If we encounter trouble, it will be troublesome if we enter other forbidden areas. He had to go check it out.

His intuition told him that this was neither a coincidence nor that simple.

Riding a horse and chasing all the way, Lu Sheng walked along the official road. As time went by, the sky gradually became late.

I don't know how long he chased, but the horse under him finally couldn't support it and slowly slowed down.

On the official road ahead, the Lu family's motorcade also appeared in the field of vision, and the crowd inside seemed a bit chaotic.

Lu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, shook the reins, and walked over at a faster speed. But before he got closer, he saw at a glance that there was a big red lantern hanging on one of the carriages.

A large blood-red lantern hung on the door where the carriage entered and exited, and through the window, you could see two identical red lanterns hung vaguely inside.

Lu Sheng's eyes suddenly froze.
