Chapter 171
The two of them were very close, and the two of them were very close.
Lu Ren asked Zhang Lanyue many details about Wei Chen's stay in Muyang Sect ten years ago.
Just then, he saw a figure walking towards this side.
"You didn't leave."
Qin Zhen and Lu Ren looked at each other and said, "You're not surprised, right?"
Lu Ren looked at his hands and clothes covered in blood and smiled, "I expected you to stay, but I didn't expect that you were so vicious that you even wanted to kill your fellow disciples."
"Only the dead will keep secrets forever."
Qin Zhen glanced at Zhang Lanyue with a hint of meaning.
The latter immediately guessed his intention and said angrily: "Qin Zhen, what do you mean?"
"Junior sister Lan Yue, isn't my meaning very clear? Do you think this brother will let you return to Muyang Sect alive, and then gather Li Yan and even the elders of the sect to retaliate against him?"
Lu Ren sneered: "Your Muyang Sect's style is really simple. Is internal fighting a necessary skill for you?"
Qin Zhen bowed his hands very sincerely and said: "Brother, as long as you return the magic mirror, I can swear to the heavens that I will never reveal anything about you after I go back.
As for other troubles, I have helped you solve them. Now there is only Zhang Lan Yue left. If you don't want to do it, I can do it for you."
"Qin Zhen! You are really a mad dog!"
Qin Zhen sneered: "Junior sister Lan Yue, you can scold me as much as you want. As long as I can live, I will burn a stick of incense for you every Qingming Festival in the future."
Zhang Lan Yue clenched her fists, and her eyes were filled with rage.
She and Li Yan were really blind before. They didn't expect Qin Zhen to be such a sinister and vicious villain. He was simply a beast!
She hated her low strength and couldn't kill this man with her own hands to relieve her hatred.
At this time, Lu Ren came to her side and said lightly: "Want to kill him?"
Zhang Lanyue nodded frantically without hesitation: "Yes!"
"Then as you wish."
Lu Ren suddenly drew out the golden feather bone-gripping knife from his waist.
After feeling the murderous intent coming from the sky, Qin Zhen was so scared that his face turned pale and he almost collapsed on the ground.
"Brother, what are you doing? You can't break our agreement because of a bitch!"
"When did I agree to your conditions?"
Lu Ren's words immediately made Qin Zhen speechless.
"But she is always a threat to you when she is alive! If you let her return to Muyang Sect, Li Yan will bring people to hunt you down in a few days.
I am different. I can help you keep the secret, and even cover for you, to ensure that no one will find out about you."
"Have you forgotten what you said?" Lu Ren sneered at Qin Zhen and said, "Only dead people can keep secrets forever."
After that, Lu Ren chopped down with a knife.
Qin Zhen was beheaded before he could react.
Zhang Lanyue stared at the corpse in front of her with a twisted and crazy expression.
Without asking Lu Ren's consent, she rushed up, picked up a stone and smashed it hard on Qin Zhen's body, which was still warm.
After a while, blood and flesh flew all over the ground, looking extremely bloody and cruel.
Even Lu Ren, who had seen the tragic massacre in Shanyin County, couldn't help but frown. The scene in front of him made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Zhang Lanyue seemed to turn a blind eye to this. Even though Qin Zhen had turned into a pool of rotten flesh and blood, she continued to hit him, as if she would not stop until she had vented all the resentment in her heart.
Lu Ren did not stop her and let her vent her anger on a dead body.
He tapped his toes lightly and flew over the lotus pond. After a glance, his eyes locked on the bright red color among the flowers.
The lotus flowers in the lotus pond were all the same, but the red lotus hidden under the flowers was particularly eye-catching.
At the same time, a ray of energy that was not weaker than his suddenly appeared.
Lu Ren straightened his voice, restrained his murderous intent, bowed to the red lotus, and smiled, "Aunt, don't panic. Xiu Lian asked me to save you."
"Do you know my daughter?"
The flowers spread out in all directions, revealing the true face of the red lotus.
"Of course." Lu Ren nodded gently.
"How can I believe you?"
"To be honest, Xiulian and I have been close for a long time. She told me everything about you and Uncle Jiang without reservation."
Lu Ren repeated everything Jiang Xiulian had mentioned to him word for word.
After hearing this, Honglian seemed to be slightly touched, and her petals swayed gently on the water.
After an unknown amount of time, she sighed.
"Alas... I didn't expect my daughter to follow in my footsteps."
"Aunt, you are wrong. I am not a weak and short-lived mortal, and Xiulian is not a pure-blooded demon. The situation between her and you and uncle is still different."
"Maybe. I just saw your strength. It's very good. There may be few people in the whole Tianchen Province who can compare with you."
"So, aunt, you can rest assured to hand your daughter to me, right?"
"Forget it. I won't meddle in the affairs of your younger generation. The matter here is over. You can go back."
Lu Ren asked, "Aunt, it's lonely to stay in this deep mountain alone. Why don't we move to the county town together?"
"How can a demon like me enter the city?"
"To be honest, my name is Lu Ren. I am now a six-star demon-suppressing lieutenant in the Demon Suppression Department. I only need one word to let you enter the city unimpeded."
Honglian was silent for a moment, and said with a somewhat relieved tone: "I used to worry that Xiulian would meet the wrong person, but I didn't expect this little girl to have such a good eye."
"Haha, aunt, you are too kind. I can achieve what I have today only by luck."
"Don't make fun of me. The promotion of titles in the Demon Suppression Department is extremely strict. You can sit in the position of a six-star lieutenant. I am afraid that countless demons have died in your hands, right?"
Lu Ren laughed dryly, looking a little embarrassed.
If it was a human who said this, he would only modestly agree.
But he was facing a perfect psychic lotus demon, a real demon!
It is somewhat inappropriate to admit that I have killed countless monsters in front of the monsters...
"I almost used up all my strength to send Xiulian away. Now I am at my wit's end. If you want to attack me, I will not be able to resist.
Kill me, and your achievements will be more impressive. Don't you want to try?"
"Aunt, you don't have to test me. It is true that I have hunted countless monsters, but you are Xiulian's mother after all, and you have never given up great evil in your life. I have no reason to attack you."
The petals of the red lotus gently closed and spread out, like a human face blooming with a smile.
"Okay, go now. I feel relieved to have Xiulian by your side."
"Aunt, are you really not considering leaving here?"
"I have taken the pills Xiulian gave me, but I have wasted too many years before, and it will take some time for me to digest all the effects of the pills.
After I complete the breakthrough, I will naturally leave Baoguang Mountain and travel around the world to take a good look at the world scenery that her father once longed for."
Lu Ren sighed softly, "Xiulian will miss you."
"I am a demon, and I am destined to not be able to fully integrate into your human world in this life.
But Xiulian has half human blood, so let her live in the sun as a human. We just need to care about each other in our hearts and try not to disturb each other in the future."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Lu Ren had no choice but to respond helplessly.
"Then I will follow what my aunt said. I will also convey your words to Xiulian."
"People like you are destined to have a bright future. There will be many women around you in the future. I have no other requirements, but I hope Xiulian can always occupy a place in your heart, even if it is a small place, as long as you have her in your heart."
Lu Ren nodded solemnly: "I promise you."
"Well, go."
The red lotus slowly sank to the bottom of the water, and the scattered lotus leaves and lotus flowers merged together again.
The dazzling red color disappeared from the water surface.
Lu Ren knew that she should be at the critical node of breakthrough, which is equivalent to the retreat of human cultivators.
He stopped disturbing her and returned to the shore.
After sighing for a moment, Lu Ren turned and looked at Zhang Lanyue.
At this time, she was covered in blood and mud, looking a bit creepy.
"Have you vented?"
Zhang Lanyue nodded woodenly.
"Clean up the traces and follow me."
"You... still won't let me go?"
"It's my greatest kindness to let you live until now."
Lu Ren grabbed one of her legs and threw her into the lotus pond like a sandbag.
"Wash the blood off your body."
Soon after, Zhang Lanyue climbed ashore, dripping wet, with delicate and attractive curves.
Lu Ren had no reaction to this.
This woman is not only dirty, but also crazy!
For a man to do this, she can no longer be simply described as a love-brained person.
"Get up." Lu Ren walked up to her and looked down at her.
"Where are you taking me?" "A place with food and lodging." Zhang Lanyue's reaction was a little slow, and she obviously didn't understand what Lu Ren meant. Lu Ren pulled the corner of his mouth and slowly said a few cold words: "The prison of the Demon Suppression Division."
