After discussing for a while, the two of them no longer mentioned this matter. They went to have their dinner first and then returned to their respective rooms.
Night fell quickly. Lu Xuan sat quietly in his room and did not cultivate. Not long after, the door suddenly opened and Zhang Dongshuang came in.
"Did anyone see you?" Lu Xuan asked in a low voice.
Zhang Dongshuang shook her head: "I came out when no one was around. What should we do now?"
"Wait, if someone has evil intentions, they will definitely take action in the middle of the night." Lu Xuan said very calmly. In the past seven days, he had experienced a lot of things and became more experienced.
After thinking for a while, Lu Xuan took out his Star Shattering Sword and walked to the wall at the side. He fiercely stabbed the sword into the thick wall. In front of a treasure-grade sword, the thick wall seemed to be a little weak and a small hole was directly poked out.
From this small hole, they could always know what was happening in the room next door. If someone broke in, they would know instantly.
"You go and rest first. I will keep watch and see if we are being watched." Lu Xuan signaled Zhang Dongshuang to go and rest.
"I will accompany you. If there is any movement, we can take care of each other." Because of her inexplicable feeling, Zhang Dongshuang felt a little embarrassed that Lu Xuan had to keep watch again.
After thinking for a while, Lu Xuan did not refuse. If there is any sudden situation, the two of them could retreat in time.
Without saying anything, the room suddenly became quiet. Only the sound of their breathing could be heard. Time also passed in this process. After an unknown amount of time, Lu Xuan's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened!
Because at this moment, he heard a slight sound of the door opening. The direction of the sound came from was Zhang Dongshuang's room next door. Lu Xuan suddenly stood up quietly and went to the small hole made by the Star Shattering Sword to peep at the movement next door.
Lu Xuan's actions caused Zhang Dongshuang's heart to skip a beat. It seemed that her intuition was right, there really was someone watching her. However, at this moment, she didn't know what to do. She could only look at Lu Xuan, hoping that Lu Xuan would have a solution.
Lu Xuan cast his gaze through the small hole. While the room was dark and he was unable to see everything clearly, he was able to make out a blurry silhouette. Three silhouettes came into Lu Xuan's sight in an instant. As expected, someone had their eyes on the two of them!
"There's no one. Let's go next door!" One of them said in a low voice. The three of them instantly turned around and left.
When he heard this, Lu Xuan's heart instantly went cold, and his thoughts spun rapidly.
However, it was already too late. As if they knew that their actions had been discovered, the three of them no longer concealed their footsteps and hurriedly rushed toward Lu Xuan.
With a loud bang, the door to Lu Xuan's room was directly kicked open. At this moment, Lu Xuan suddenly pulled Zhang Dongshuang, who was beside him, and the sharp sword in his hand was directly placed on her neck!
"Don't speak, cooperate with me!" Lu Xuan whispered in Zhang Dongshuang's ear.
Although she was startled by Lu Xuan's sudden action, Zhang Dongshuang also knew that Lu Xuan definitely didn't have any ill intentions. If he wanted to make a move on her, there were countless opportunities to do so.
Zhang Dongshuang nodded slightly and allowed Lu Xuan to hold her hostage.
At this moment, the three of them had already successfully barged into Lu Xuan's room. With the help of the faint moonlight, they instantly saw the scene in the room. However, it was different from what they had imagined. They never imagined that Zhang Dongshuang would actually be held hostage by Lu Xuan.
Both sides immediately fell into a stalemate, facing each other, but no one dared to act blindly without thinking.
One of the three people took out two Sunlight Stones from his storage ring, instantly brightening the dark room. This time, Lu Xuan was finally able to clearly see the appearances of the three people. However, it was useless, he didn't recognize any of them.
The person in the lead was around forty years old and had a rather tall stature. His eyes were tightly fixed on Lu Xuan, and the two people behind him were undoubtedly following his lead.
However, what made Lu Xuan a little apprehensive was that he couldn't see through any of the three people's strength. It was obvious that all three of them were at least at the 6th Layer of Body Refinement. Especially the person in the lead, his aura was extraordinary, and his strength was definitely not weak.
"Who are you? Where is Bai Chi? "The person in the lead asked in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan immediately smiled and said: "Bai Chi has already gone to obtain the inheritance. He might have already obtained it by now."
As he spoke, Lu Xuan had already completely understood the identity of these people. Apart from the Liu Family, who else could they be? However, he didn't dare to be careless in his heart. Since these people were here to find Bai Chi, they definitely had the strength to deal with Bai Chi.
However, the person in the lead only coldly snorted: "Don't try to trick me. Miss Zhang is still here, how can he obtain the inheritance?"
"Bai Chi has already taken a few drops of Miss Zhang's blood. It's more than enough to activate the inheritance. If I were you, I wouldn't be wasting time here right now. Instead, I would quickly go and capture Bai Chi. When he obtains the inheritance, all your efforts will be in vain." Lu Xuan spoke without thinking.
After hearing what Lu Xuan said, the person in the lead was a little uncertain. Bai Chi had left the Liu Family for a long time and hadn't returned. They had already realized that something was wrong, so they immediately came to this small town to wait. However, they didn't expect to see Bai Chi. Instead, they saw Zhang Dongshuang and an unknown young man.
As for Lu Xuan's words, he didn't dare to believe them. However, this involved the Zhang Clan's inheritance, how could he be careless?
He stared at Lu Xuan and said: "Bai Chi has gone to obtain the inheritance. Who are you? Why is Miss Zhang in your hands? "
"That, you don't need to know. Stop talking nonsense. I will give you two choices. One, I will tell you where Bai Chi is and you let me go. Two, I will kill Miss Zhang immediately. Then, we will go our separate ways and I will continue to look for Bai Chi." As he spoke, Lu Xuan's sword moved closer to Zhang Dongshuang.
"Looks like you are Bai Chi's partner." The person in the lead looked uncertain. After thinking for a while, he said: "I can let you go, but she has to stay."
"Impossible!" Lu Xuan rejected decisively: "If I want to go, I will take her with me. If not, the two of us will die together. How can I be sure that you won't change your mind after I let her go?"
Zhang Dongshuang, who had been silent, finally understood Lu Xuan's intention. It was obvious that Lu Xuan wanted to use her to make the people of the Liu Clan hesitate.
The leader immediately smiled viciously and said, "Your plan is too good. If I let all of you go, I won't be able to get anything. Instead of that, I might as well kill all of you directly."
Lu Xuan didn't seem to care about his threat at all. He said: "You can try. However, if Miss Zhang dies, you won't get the inheritance anymore. Will you be able to explain yourself when you go back?"
As soon as he said this, the person in the lead hesitated. Lu Xuan was overjoyed. He knew that he had made the right bet. Although this person looked strong, he was not the leader of the Liu Clan.
Seeing that he was hesitating, Lu Xuan continued to tempt him: "If you let me go, I can tell you how to contact Bai Chi. I can even tell you the location of the inheritance. When Bai Chi gets the inheritance, you can take him down. You can still get the inheritance. Why do you have to fight me to death?"
At that moment, someone suddenly barged in and said loudly, "Second Master, don't listen to him. When this kid came during the day, he was flirting with this chick. It's obvious that they're a couple. He's definitely not Bai Chi's partner! He won't kill this girl! "
As soon as he said this, Lu Xuan's face darkened. At that moment, he saw the man's face clearly. It was the innkeeper of this inn. He didn't expect his luck to be so bad this time. He randomly picked an inn and it turned out to be the property of the Liu Clan.
The leader of the group, who was initially hesitant, looked at Lu Xuan with a hint of ferocity in his eyes. "Good lad, I was almost fooled by you. It seems that everything I said just now was a lie. Hand her over obediently, and I'll spare your life if I'm in a good mood."
Originally, when she saw that Lu Xuan had tricked the leader, Zhang Dongshuang was a little happy. She didn't think that her lie would be seen through. She sighed and whispered in Lu Xuan's ear: "Young Hero Lu, this person is the second leader of the Liu Clan. He has the strength of the ninth level of the Body Refinement Realm. He also has two helpers. You may not be his opponent. Leave me here and escape. When the time comes, I will use my life to threaten them and they will definitely let you go."
Lu Xuan turned a deaf ear to Zhang Dongshuang's words. He coldly snorted and said: "I was indeed lying to you. To tell you the truth, Bai Chi has already been killed by me. If you want to obtain the inheritance, Miss Zhang is the key. If you anger me, everyone will go their separate ways. I can kill Bai Chi, so it won't be difficult for me to escape unscathed from your hands."
But this time, Lu Xuan's threat didn't have any effect.
The Second Master of the Liu Clan, who was addressed as the Second Master, laughed out loud and took another step forward, getting even closer to Lu Xuan. He said, "Sure, go ahead and kill them. I'll just watch you do it!"
Since he knew the relationship between Lu Xuan and Zhang Dongshuang, how could he be threatened by Lu Xuan? He gambled that Lu Xuan wouldn't kill Zhang Dongshuang!
Obviously, this round of gambling was won by the second leader of the Liu Clan. Although Lu Xuan and Zhang Dongshuang weren't a couple like he thought, he wouldn't really kill Zhang Dongshuang.
The scene suddenly fell into a stalemate. The people of the Liu Clan didn't dare to act rashly. Lu Xuan also couldn't escape. If he was alone, he wouldn't be afraid facing these people in front of him. But now there was Zhang Dongshuang by his side. This undoubtedly made him a little hesitant.
In the end, it was Zhang Dongshuang who broke the silence. She looked at the second leader of the Liu Clan and said: "Let him go, I will go with you."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Dongshuang took the initiative to compromise. The second leader of the Liu Clan raised his eyebrows and decisively agreed: "No problem."
