Chapter 180
The two of them were so busy that they had to face each other.
Lu Ren did not dare to be careless, he drew his sword and walked towards the room silently.
Gently pushing the door open, he saw a small figure shrinking under the bed in panic.
"Come out."
Lu Ren stood at the door and shouted.
The figure under the bed trembled and dared not breathe.
Lu Ren's voice became a little colder: "Do you really think I can't see you? If you don't come out, I'll chop you and the bed with a knife!"
Hearing this warning, the person under the bed rolled out.
Lu Ren saw his face clearly. He was a thin boy in his early teens. He looked pretty handsome. I wonder if it was because of the extreme fear that his face looked extremely pale and haggard.
"Who are you?" Lu Ren asked in a deep voice.
The entire Juyan Sect was wiped out, but there was one survivor left, and he just happened to see him?
This is too coincidental.
The identity of the boy in front of him is questionable.
"I..." The boy stammered: "My name is... Shi Longxiang."
"Surname Shi?" Lu Ren frowned: "Is your father Shi Jinxiong, the leader of Juyan Sect?"
"That's right." The boy nodded, and the uneasiness in his eyes did not diminish at all.
Lu Ren glanced at the half-kneeling corpse in the yard, his eyes were a little complicated.
"What happened the day before yesterday? Who committed the tragedy of Juyanmen, and why did you survive?"
"Big brother, are you from the Demon Suppression Division?" the boy asked with courage.
"Yes." Lu Ren gave an affirmative answer.
The boy's tense body relaxed, and his whole state was much more relaxed.
"Great, you are finally here."
Lu Ren said coldly: "Answer my question first."
After a brief silence, the boy began to tell what happened the day before yesterday.
"The day before yesterday, a man came to visit my father. He seemed to want to win over my father and incorporate Juyanmen into his name."
"Incorporate?"
"Yes, they talked well at first, but then I don't know why, they suddenly quarreled, and I don't know the specific reason. They started to quarrel and started fighting.
My mother hid me in the secret room and escaped."
As the boy spoke, a sad mood filled the room.
Lu Ren narrowed his eyes: "If that's the case, why did you show up after two days?"
The young man shook his head and said, "I don't know whether the man has left or not, and I didn't dare to come out to see, so I hid in the secret room. I remember my father said that when we are in danger, the Demon Suppression Department will send someone to rescue us.
Until not long ago, I was so hungry that I sneaked out to find something to eat, and then I was discovered by you, big brother."
Lu Ren looked at him calmly and changed the subject: "Do you know what the man looks like, his name, and where he comes from?"
"I haven't seen his face, as for his name and origin... I heard my mother mention that it seems to be one of the four major families in the county city."
Hearing this answer, Lu Ren's brows twisted into a ball.
This matter is actually related to the four major families?
Lin, Zhao, Liu, Lu!
Which family did it?
No!
No matter which family it is, there is no strong man with the strength comparable to the middle stage of Qi Condensation.
The Lin family is the most powerful of the four major families, but even so, in terms of combat power, no one in the entire Lin family should be able to match Lin Jinyan.
If it was Lin Jinyan, it would be possible to kill Shi Jinxiong, the leader of the Juyan Gate, and kill the entire family at the same time.
But this is simply impossible.
Not to mention that Lin Jinyan is not a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately, and he and Lin Jinyan just returned to the county city the day before yesterday, so she didn't have time to commit the crime at all.
As for the other three families?
Lu Ren also felt that the possibility was very small.
At least no family's combat power could achieve this level.
Even if there is an unknown ancestor, is it worth it to recruit a Juyan Gate that has no value?
The boy's statement does not stand up to scrutiny at all.
But Lu Ren did not rush to expose the truth, but asked thoughtfully:
"Did anyone come here yesterday?"
The young man shook his head first, then nodded: "I seemed to have heard some noise, but I'm not sure, and I don't dare to go out of the secret room to check the situation."
His words were flawless, making it difficult for Lu Ren to find any flaws.
After thinking for a while, he
With a faint smile, he said to the boy, "Let's go. I'll take you away from this place first."
The boy's eyes lit up, and he followed Lu Ren's steps in surprise.
When passing through the yard, Lu Ren suddenly stopped and suggested, "Let's find a place to bury your father's body first."
The boy lay on Shi Jinxiong's body and cried bitterly, mumbling something.
After crying for a long time, he finally controlled his emotions, stood up and wiped his tears, looked at Lu Ren and said, "My father loved to go to the back mountain to appreciate flowers when he was alive. Why don't we bury him there?"
"You are his son, so you can arrange this matter."
The boy showed gratitude, and then used all his strength to wrap Shi Jinxiong's body with a bamboo mat, and then dragged it to the back mountain with great effort.
Lu Ren followed behind him, saying nothing, his face calm as water, and he had no intention of asking for help.
The boy placed his father's body on an open space, then found a piece of green tile, knelt on the ground and dug a pit.
After observing for a moment, Lu Ren decisively sacrificed the magic mirror, threw it into the air, and used a spiritual power as a traction to stimulate it.
Soon, the magic mirror emitted a dazzling golden light column, which fell on the boy who was digging a pit.
The sudden light made the boy stunned, and he looked back at Lu Ren in surprise.
The latter grinned with a cold face.
"You are indeed problematic!"
The boy realized belatedly that under the illumination of the light column, there was a black gas surrounding him.
This is a symbol of demonic aura!
