The Nether Sect was considered the biggest sect in the cultivation world. It had tens of thousands of members. Everyone from the Noble Path would pale at the mention of it. It was also the target of the Noble Path.
However, they did not expect that instead of being afraid of rats crossing the street, they would withdraw their forces in broad daylight.
"Old boy … Is this your granddaughter? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Her potential is much greater than yours. She's pretty as well. However, I can ask the branch leader for a favor so that both of you can join the Azure Dragon Association, "the man said with a sly smile.
His master did not say anything.
He was probably angry.
His master had said that he could not kill people, but he did not say that he could not hit people.
Little Yuan 'er moved swiftly and raised her leg. Moving like a shadow, she kicked the slyly smiling man in the chest.
He was sent flying like a soccer ball. A mouthful of blood sprayed out of his mouth. The powerful force penetrated his chest and broke three stalls. He slid for about ten meters on the ground before he came to a stop.
One kick and he was already on the verge of death.
The people in the surroundings were stunned at first. Then, they shrank back in fear.
Perhaps, they had seen too many of such scenes. Not many people ran away. There were also some who hid in the corners to watch.
"Who are you to call me old boy?" Little Yuan 'er put down her foot and said angrily.
The other two members of the Azure Dragon Association said angrily.
"How dare you hit people?"
"Not only do I dare to hit people, but I also dare to kill people."
Little Yuan 'er emitted a faint energy around her.
The remaining two members of the Azure Dragon Association widened their eyes. "A Mystic Enlightening realm expert?"
The Body Tempering realm was purely about the strength of the body.
The Mystic Enlightening realm was to open the five orifices and channel Primal Qi to form energy.
Only when one reached the Mystic Enlightening realm could one be considered a true cultivator.
Thud!
The two of them fell to their knees.
"Spare us, my lady!"
"Spare us, my lady!"
Little Yuan 'er shook her head and said, "Hmph! I don't care …"
She raised her little fist.
Lu Zhou walked over and said, "Yuan 'er, you did well."
Little Yuan 'er smiled even more happily when she was praised.
She said, "They called you old boy. I couldn't hold it in so I had to teach them a lesson."
Lu Zhou looked at the two kneeling men before he glanced at his surroundings from the corners of his eyes.
In truth, he did not care about their lives. However, his actions might expose his identity....
"Where's the headquarters of the Azure Dragon Association's branch?" Lu Zhou asked.
"It's, it's … three miles north of Anyang Valley River."
"This Seat … This old man has just arrived in Anyang and is unfamiliar with this place. Go back and tell your Branch Leader that this old man will personally pay him a visit tomorrow."
"Yes, yes, yes …"
"Scram."
The two of them got up and dragged their heavily injured companion, running away dejectedly.
Little Yuan 'er said in a low voice, "Fortunately, Master stopped me in time. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to find anyone to use after I killed all of them."
Lu Zhou nodded slightly.
"Yuan 'er, you've left home for many years. Do you still remember where your home is?" Lu Zhou asked.
"I only remember that there were two stone lions in front of my house … Father liked to play with knives and spears, and mother liked embroidery the most. Mother liked me the most," Little Yuan 'er said.
When Ji Tiandao wanted to recruit a disciple, some people would come knocking on his door and force him to do so, while some people liked to send him up the mountain.
Lu Zhou only remembered that when Little Yuan 'er was sent to Golden Court Mountain, she was still very young. He did not know why her parents sent her to the mountain.
Which parent in the world would be willing to send their child into a wolf's den?
。
The Ci Family was not hard to find.
There were very few big families with the surname Ci. Anyang was not a big city, so it only took a little inquiry to determine the location.
When the two of them appeared outside the Ci Mansion, Little Yuan 'er was as excited as a rabbit, jumping up and down on the heads of the two stone lions.
"Master … This is the lion! I remember it so clearly … "
"Little girl, don't be so naughty since you're home. Come down. "
"Oh."
"Ding! Triggered side quest: Investigate the Ci Family kidnapping case. Executor: Lu Zhou."
Creak!
The door slowly opened.
A middle-aged man in a butler's outfit was puzzled when he saw the two of them at the door.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Where are my father and mother?" Little Yuan 'er peered through the crack of the door, wishing to see her parents as soon as possible.
When the butler heard that, he frowned and said, "Where did this little girl come from? Your father and mother are not here."
Smack!
Little Yuan 'er slapped him so hard that he was dizzy. His cheek hurt, and he spun 360 degrees on the spot.
"You're asking for a beating! Go away! Don't stand in my grandpa's way!"
The butler covered his face and trembled all over.
Lu Zhou did not know whether to laugh or cry.
However, he felt that it was not inappropriate to deal with it this way.
Sometimes, being too polite would affect the efficiency of the work.
Like a sweet little jacket, Little Yuan 'er obediently helped Lu Zhou into the Ci Mansion.
。
The Ci Mansion was empty. There were no servants or maids.
It looked a little bleak, and even the tables and furniture were all taken away.
Lu Zhou said faintly, "It seems that your Fourth Senior Brother's news is true."
Little Yuan 'er pointed at the butler angrily and said, "You, come here!"
"Ah?"
"Where are my father and mother?"
The butler was, of course, puzzled by the question.
Little Yuan 'er was no longer what she used to be, and her appearance was completely different from when she was a child. How could the butler recognize her at once?
"What's your name?" asked Lu Zhou.
"I … I'm the butler of the Ci Family, Wang Fugui," the butler stammered, covering his face with his hand.
"She is the Ci Family's Ci Yuan 'er." Lu Zhou raised his hand and pointed at Little Yuan' er.
"Ah?"
Wang Fugui swallowed and looked back and forth at Little Yuan 'er. After a while, realization dawned on him. He dropped to his knees and kowtowed, crying, "Miss! You're finally back! I'm Wang Fugui! "
"Wang Fugui?" Little Yuan 'er scratched her head.
"Let's talk about it inside."
In the main hall of the Ci Mansion …
After Wang Fugui's explanation, they learned that most of the people in the Ci Family had been kidnapped by a gang called Lakeside Gang. No one knew the background of this gang, and no one knew who ordered them. They could not even find any trace of them.
The Ci Family had been kidnapped twice in a row, so no one dared to continue working in the Ci Family. The remaining servants and servants had all run away with the Ci Family's belongings. Wang Fugui was the only one left.
"Why didn't you report it to the authorities?" asked Lu Zhou.
"Even if I did, the authorities couldn't find anything. That day, except for the servants and servants who were working outside, all of them were kidnapped. I happened to be in the latrine, so I was lucky enough to escape. "
"Then why didn't you run away?" asked Little Yuan 'er.
"The Ci Family has treated me well. I, Wang Fugui, am a member of the Ci Family when I was alive, and I'll die with them when I'm dead."
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "You're very loyal. Fortunately, Yuan 'er didn't hit you too hard. "
Wang Fugui felt a pain in his cheek as he said awkwardly, "It's only right that you hit me, Master."
"You have to keep it a secret that Yuan 'er is back. I'll investigate the kidnapping of the Ci Family, "said Lu Zhou.
"Ah?"
Although Lu Zhou was much younger now, he still looked like a candle in the wind that would blow away a candle in the wind. Apart from his imposing manner, he still looked like someone who could be slapped to death. Wang Fugui only knew that the old master had sent the young lady away, but he did not know where she was going or what she was going to do, let alone the fact that Little Yuan 'er's master was the old villain.
"You may leave now."
Wang Fugui dared not question Lu Zhou. Even if he was an old man. It could be seen from Little Yuan 'er's attitude toward him. Therefore, he nodded repeatedly and left.
"Yuan 'er."
"Yes, Master?"
"Tomorrow morning, go to Gu He's Azure Dragon Society and ask them to investigate this so-called Lakeside Gang," said Lu Zhou.
"Yes, Master."
"Ding! A side quest is issued: Use the Azure Dragon Society's forces to investigate the Lakeside Gang. Executor: Little Yuan 'er."
"Remember, don't expose yourself."
"Yes, Master."
Just as the side quest was issued …
The sound of the system notification rang in Lu Zhou's ears.
"Ding! The quest is completed: Assist Duanmu Sheng. The reward is 200 merit points."
"Ding! The quest is issued: Repair the barrier. Executor: Mingshi Yin."
Lu Zhou frowned slightly when he saw the changes in the mission on the system dashboard. When he left Golden Court Mountain, his mission was for the two of them to repair the mountain's barrier. However, the mission panel showed that Mingshi Yin was the only one who was there. There was only one possibility; Old Third was injured.
。
Meanwhile …
Golden Court Mountain …
Mingshi Yin and Duanmu Sheng, who was lying on the bed, were reading the letter left by Little Yuan 'er with a puzzled expression.
"I can't believe Master has left the mountain! What is the old man thinking? "
Cough!
Duanmu Sheng cleared his throat and said, "Maybe he has been bored on the mountain for too long and wants to go out for a walk, but he doesn't want others to know his identity."
"You have a point … Master has been acting in an unconventional way recently. I can't see through him anymore." Mingshi Yin sighed.
"… In the past, Master had absolute strength and disdained to use his brain. All tricks are meaningless struggles in the face of absolute strength. "
"Perhaps."
"I'll leave the task of repairing the barrier to you, Junior Brother. I'm afraid I won't be able to recover from this injury for at least three to five months."
