"Red Decks pleasure boat …"
A name flashed across Lu Sheng's mind like lightning.
He paused for a moment on his horse, his face darkening. Only when he saw that someone in the caravan had seen him did he slowly lead the horse forward.
As he neared, Lu Quanan led a group of people to welcome him.
"Sheng 'er! Why are you here? Your hair? "He was surprised to see Lu Sheng's current appearance.
Lu Sheng dismounted from the horse.
"It's a long story. Let's not talk about my hair. Father, Second Mother, Uncle Zhao, I came from Mountain-Edge City. Why did you stop here? Also, who hung that red lantern? "
He pointed casually at the red lantern hanging on the horse carriage.
"I don't know. We're still investigating. Earlier, it was a normal yellow paper lantern. As we were walking, someone suddenly realized that the lantern had been switched," Lu Quanan said solemnly, his expression anxious. "Sheng 'er, you're here. Come and take a look."
Lu Sheng looked around. Everyone in the family was here. Second Mother, Third Mother, Uncle Zhao, as well as Fourth Mother, Fifth Mother and Little Aunt who were hurriedly alighting from the carriage not far away. Apart from this large family, there were also many distant relatives. Some were his birth mother's relatives, and some were relatives from other branches. Just the Lu Family alone had more than twenty people.
"Brother Sheng, thank goodness you're here. Chenxin disappeared just now. You must help me find him! Find him!" Third Mother, Lu Chenxin's birth mother, Wang Yanyu, was pale and her eyes red and swollen. Clearly, she had been crying.
"Don't worry, Third Mother. I'll do my best," Lu Sheng nodded.
Although everyone in the family saw that he looked strange, that was not what they were concerned about in their panic. What they were concerned about was that Lu Sheng's arrival meant the caravan was much safer.
Previously, it was Brother Sheng who had solved the problem in Nine Links City. Now, Brother Sheng must have a solution too. Everyone looked at Lu Sheng with anticipation and peace of mind.
Lu Sheng walked into the caravan and stood in front of the empty horse carriage. There were a few soldiers standing at the side. One of them was a slightly plump man with dark skin and an ugly expression. He was currently holding a saber at his waist and staring at the carriage.
"So it's Brother Sheng. This is great. Come and take a look. The scratches on the lantern are still there. The words on it are exactly the same as before." The fatty was none other than Brother Song. The disappearance of three of his brothers had already made him agitated, and now this matter had suddenly occurred.
Lu Sheng nodded and carefully observed the red lanterns hanging on the carriage.
"Who sat in this car before?" he asked in a low voice.
"It's Third Young Master Lu Chenxin, Fourth Young Master Lu Tianyang, and Zhang Xiuxiu's family," Brother Song quickly answered in a low voice.
"When did Chen Xin disappear?" The more Lu Sheng looked at the lantern, the more it looked like the one he had seen on the pleasure boat.
"He disappeared in the deserted village," Brother Song said hurriedly.
"The barren village …" Lu Sheng looked around and his eyes turned cold. "Keep going. Towards Mountain-Edge City. Don't stop. I want to see which deity has come to mess with my Lu Family, "he called out to his old man.
Lu Quanan nodded at him.
"Go! Get in the carriage and take down the lantern. Keep going! "
"Wait! Don't take this carriage. Leave it here, "Lu Sheng stopped Zhang Xiuxiu's family and Lu Tianyang who were about to board the carriage.
Their faces were pale. Clearly, they understood that this red lantern could be a sign of trouble.
"Big Brother, we'll be fine, right …" Lu Tianyang moved to Lu Sheng's side and asked.
"You'll be fine if you're obedient," Lu Sheng glared at him.
He had never had a good impression of the three wastrels in his family. Replying to them was already giving them face.
Lu Tianyang boarded the carriage resentfully.
The carriages started moving again. But everyone was highly focused, carefully observing their surroundings and the road.
The wheels of the carriage rolled slowly, making deep and muffled noises on the uneven ground.
Lu Sheng kept a close eye on his surroundings, paying attention to any movement.
As they walked, he suddenly felt something amiss.
"Stop!!" He raised his hand abruptly.
Lu Quanan hurriedly signaled for everyone to stop.
Lu Sheng slowly turned his head. That abandoned carriage with red lanterns was actually still following behind the carriages. The red lanterns were extremely eye-catching. The horses were also silent, as if someone was driving them from the driver's seat.
Soon, the others also noticed this strange phenomenon. Someone screamed, but immediately covered his mouth and was reprimanded.
An atmosphere of fear and unease slowly enveloped the group.
"What's there to be afraid of?!" Lu Sheng snorted coldly. "Tie this carriage to a tree by the roadside. We'll keep going. This old horse is probably familiar with us, so it's following us."
"Yes, there's indeed such a thing. I've encountered this before when I roamed the pugilistic world." Uncle Zhao hurriedly laughed.
A few soldiers were a little afraid, but under Brother Song's scolding, they still went forward and tied the carriage with red lanterns to a withered tree by the side.
The caravan continued to move forward.
After walking for about the time needed to brew a cup of tea. This time, everyone kept looking back, afraid that the carriage was still following them.
That previous scene had frightened everyone.
After walking for a while, about an hour, everyone slowly let down their guard.
"Look ahead!" Suddenly, a soldier shouted.
Immediately, everyone looked forward.
On the left side of the official road ahead, the carriage they had tied up was quietly parked.
The red lanterns on the carriage were still quietly lit.
The entire carriages came to a stop unconsciously. Everyone's breathing almost stopped. They could only stare blankly at the carriage with red lanterns in front of them.
Lu Quanan continuously took out a towel to wipe his sweat. Although he himself looked very frightened, he still tried his best to calm down, and even comforted the others around him who were getting more and more panicked.
Lu Sheng stared coldly at the carriage.
"Clang." He drew his saber and walked slowly towards the carriage with red lanterns.
"You guys go first, I'll catch up later!"
"Sheng 'er!" Lu Quanan shouted. "Be careful!"
"Mm." Lu Sheng didn't even turn his head as he waved for them to leave quickly. He was left alone, staring at the carriage.
Amidst the rumbling of the wheels, the carriages slowly moved away. Only Lu Sheng was left standing motionless on the official road.
He licked his lips, and walked slowly towards the carriage with his saber.
"Aren't you guys looking for me? I'm here, right here. "He chuckled." Are you here to avenge that female ghost on the pleasure boat? Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a pity … you didn't see how I cut her skin off alive, then gouged out her eyes, cut off her nose and ears. "
Lu Sheng laughed strangely.
"That woman actually scolded me for treating her like that, so I used my saber and cut her into two from head to toe. She thought she wouldn't die, but I burned her with my inner Qi and she died. Hahaha … "
Before his laughter died away.
The carriage automatically crashed open, as if someone was pulling the door open from inside.
"What? Angry? After that, I cut off her head, intending to use it as a chamber pot. Who knew she couldn't even take the last cut and exploded? "Lu Sheng said eerily.
In the carriage, a young woman in red sat quietly. Her face was as white as paper, and she held a big red lantern in her hand. She sat motionlessly on the seat.
"Crack … crack …"
The woman's neck slowly turned, emitting a strange rubbing sound.
She turned her head, her lifeless eyes fixed on Lu Sheng, who was laughing strangely.
"You know that woman, right?" Lu Sheng gripped his saber hilt with both hands and arched his body. His eyes turned cold. "So you're here to avenge her?"
"Swish!"
The woman in red disappeared from the carriage in an instant. When she reappeared, she was already behind Lu Sheng.
The lantern in her hand swayed lightly, and noiselessly slashed towards the back of Lu Sheng's neck.
Lu Sheng swung his saber with a backhand slash.
"Swish!"
The saber light was silver and cold, bringing with it waves of scorching hot air. His Ultimate Crimson Mantra was in full swing, pouring it into the saber and slashing it across the woman's body.
But Lu Sheng didn't expect his saber to miss.
The saber passed through the woman's body without any resistance, as if she was an illusion.
"What's going on!?" Without time to think, Lu Sheng saw the red lantern slam into his chest.
"Bam!!"
He felt like he was struck by lightning, as if he had been hit by something hundreds of kilograms at high speed. His whole body fell backward with a loud bang.
His legs dragged on the ground for more than ten steps, and he almost crashed into the carriage.
Lu Sheng's face was red. He grabbed the edge of the carriage, poured inner Qi into the saber, and slashed forward again.
"Swish!"
The saber slashed across the lantern woman who had just appeared, and the red lantern slammed into Lu Sheng's left shoulder once more.
His body staggered and he stumbled a few steps. Before he could steady himself, he saw the woman suddenly appear in front of him.
"Bam!"
She slammed into the side of his saber again, barely managing to block it. But the force of the blow sent him tumbling to the ground.
'Teleportation? No! No, it's just that she's too fast, making it look like I'm teleporting! ' Lu Sheng felt a searing pain where he had been hit twice, accompanied by a slight itch. Clearly, he had been poisoned.
Yin-Yang Jade Crane Skill rushed to his wounds, resisting any possible infection or poison.
He quickly got up and looked left and right, but he couldn't see the woman's figure. He couldn't sense any aura behind him either.
'She's moving extremely fast, but there's still the sound of the wind.' Lu Sheng listened carefully. Although he had been hit twice, thanks to his hard body skill and inner Qi circulation, he didn't suffer any serious injuries.
He stared at his surroundings carefully. The carriage was right beside him, empty except for two red lanterns swaying in the wind.
'Where's she?'
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes.
"Swish!"
Suddenly, two red ribbons flew out of the carriage, wrapping around his neck from behind. A powerful force was frantically trying to snap his neck.
Lu Sheng's face flushed red. He grabbed the ribbons, inner Qi gushing into them. The heat generated by Ultimate Crimson Mantra quickly scorched the ribbons.
"Puff." He tore the ribbons apart and rolled forward, away from the carriage.
Just as he stood up, another red lantern slammed into him.
"Bam!"
A mouthful of blood surged up to Lu Sheng's throat and flowed out from the corner of his mouth. He took several steps back, hot air billowing around him. Both his saber and his hands were filled with boiling hot inner Qi.
He looked left and right, but still couldn't find anyone.
"What? That's it? "He laughed and pointed at his forehead." Come, hit here. "
