"That scene is something that I will never forget for the rest of my life."
Even after so many years, fear still lingered on Lu Yunjing's face. Her brows were tightly furrowed, as if she was recalling the great horror.
Unconsciously, her body began to tremble and her emotions fluctuated violently. Large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.
Chen Xiao's expression changed slightly. His Divine Thoughts instantly spread out and enveloped Lu Yunjing.
"All the stars in the universe shift, and my heart remains unshaken for eternity!"
With a soft shout, Chen Xiao's voice was like thunder, blasting away the fog and calming Lu Yunjing down.
"Mom, what on earth did you see 22 years ago?" Chen Xiao asked in a low voice.
Obviously, the trauma in his mother's heart was very serious, and it even formed the embryonic form of an inner demon. Every time she thought about it, she felt like she was in a nightmare, as if thousands of demons were devouring her.
"I accidentally broke into Tian San's courtyard and found that he was …" Lu Yunjing paused, took a deep breath, and said word by word, "eating people!"
Eating people!
These two simple words were like a clap of thunder, exploding in everyone's ears.
Even Chen Xiao frowned slightly at this time.
What Lu Yunjing mentioned at this time was naturally not in the extended meaning, but literally — eating people!
"Tian San, who was regarded as a hermit by the Lu family, actually ate people in the courtyard, and the person he ate was my personal maid, Xiao Ran …" Lu Yunjing's voice was bitter. "Previously, the family said that Xiao Ran was transferred away, but in the end, she was given to Tian San and eaten by that monster!"
At the mention of the bloody scene in the past, Lu Yunjing's emotions fluctuated violently again, and there was a look of pain in her eyes.
Chen Xiao hurriedly used his Divine Thoughts, and a bright Taoist Heart that had not been changed since ancient times shone, completely suppressing Lu Yunjing's inner demon.
"The trauma in my mother's heart is more serious than I thought …" Chen Xiao said to himself, and his face darkened.
In order to eliminate one's inner demons, one had to either cultivate a strong Taoist Heart or eliminate the source of the inner demon. Other external forces were almost useless.
Before this, Lu Yunjing was just an ordinary person. Neither of the two methods worked!
Following that, even with Chen Xiao's comforting, Lu Yunjing still spent more than an hour to clearly explain what happened that year.
"What my mother encountered back then was probably an extremely rare blood path cultivator. Furthermore, it was an evil cultivator among blood path cultivators!"
The Confucian Dao, the Buddhist Dao, the Blood Dao, the Body Dao … these distinctions were only due to the different cultivation methods, and had nothing to do with a martial artist's righteousness or evilness.
But no matter what, it was impossible for someone to do something like devouring a living person to be a gentleman.
On the second day after discovering this horrifying secret, Lu Yunjing recovered from her fear. She wanted to reveal this secret to the public and reveal the true face of the demon to warn the other members of the Lu Family.
Those who lived in seclusion were not necessarily venerable old seniors.
The one they invited back to the Lu Family could also be an evil demon hiding in the world!
"Who would have thought that the old monster would accuse me first, accusing me of causing his cultivation to fail? He threatened the Lu Family to hand me over to atone for his crime, or he would destroy the entire Lu Family!"
At this moment, Lu Yunjing's state of mind had gradually calmed down.
However, the sorrow that couldn't be dispelled on her face had already revealed everything that had happened in the past.
The Lu Family had made a decision to abandon Lu Yunjing and even labeled her as a traitor, so that she would never be able to turn over a new leaf!
"What a Lu Family, what a Lu Family!"
Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes, and a terrifying light flashed through his eyes.
Since his rebirth, this was the first time he felt anger boiling. It was like a divine flame that could destroy the world, burning the sky and destroying the heavens!
His murderous aura was too terrifying. It filled the surroundings and twisted the void.
It made people see mountains of corpses and seas of blood, skeletons of gods and demons, and the burial ground of ten thousand races. It was like being in hell.
"I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
Fortunately, Chen Xiao came back to his senses quickly. He retracted his murderous aura and returned to the appearance of an ordinary young man.
However, Lu Yunjing and Lu Chenglei, who were in the office, still felt chills all over their bodies, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
Not only that, the temperature of the entire Liyun headquarters seemed to have dropped significantly, causing many of the Liyun employees to shiver.
"Hmph, what a load of nonsense! Elder Tian is a man of virtue and prestige. How could he be a man-eating demon? "
Although Lu Chenglei was weak, he still retorted with a cold smirk, not taking Lu Yunjing's words seriously at all.
Elder Tian had been in the Lu Family for 22 years, suppressing powerful enemies for the Lu Family, and sacrificed a lot. He was definitely not a monster.
"My good aunt, the Lu Family is already being lenient by not making you, the traitor, disappear. I didn't expect you to not give up and even tarnish the Lu Family's reputation. If the family master finds out, he will definitely be furious. By then, your family of three will suffer! "
"You …"
His words caused Lu Yunjing's expression to change.
Although she knew that Chen Xiao had a fortuitous encounter, she did not know his true strength.
Subconsciously, she still treated her son as an ordinary young man and was worried that he would be at a disadvantage against the Lu Family.
However …
"Enough."
At this moment, Chen Xiao spoke coldly. He lifted Lu Chenglei up with one hand as if he was grabbing a chick and strode out of the door.
"Xiao, what are you going to do? Don't be impulsive! "Lu Yunjing exclaimed.
"It's fine, mom. I'm just going to settle some small matters."
Chen Xiao turned back and grinned, as if the terrifying murderous aura just now was just an illusion.
Lu Yunjing was still worried and continued to ask, "Xiao, tell mom, is your teacher confident? If not, we won't go to Tianjing this time … "
In this regard, Chen Xiao smiled indifferently. "Now, I am invincible in this world, unless nuclear weapons are used!"
These twelve words were deafening and moved people's hearts!
…
When he came to a place where there was no one around, Chen Xiao tossed Lu Chenglei aside and his face suddenly darkened.
"W-What are you trying to do?" Lu Chenglei panicked.
He was extremely conflicted and felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood.
On one hand, the education that he had received since he was young made him confident that the Lu Family was invincible. No matter how strong he was, he could not stop the Lu Family.
But on the other hand, after witnessing Chen Xiao's godly abilities, his worldview collapsed and the fear in his heart continued to spread.
"Nothing much. I'm just asking you to do something insignificant."
Chen Xiao looked at him with a faint smile and pointed a finger at Lu Chenglei's forehead. A surge of divine will exploded!
Suddenly, a crisp sound came from Lu Chenglei's body. Shockingly, a crack had appeared on his jade pendant.
"As expected of the Lu Family. You do have a defensive item with you." Sensing that his divine will was blocked, Chen Xiao was not surprised. He shook his head. "Unfortunately, it's useless against me."
As Chen Xiao strengthened his divine will, a series of cracking sounds were heard and the cracks on the jade pendant increased. Finally, it suddenly turned into dust and disappeared.
At the same time, a voice that sounded like a great bell exploded in Lu Chenglei's mind.
"With my command, this agreement is concluded. Life and death are in my hands, not in the hands of the heavens!"
As soon as Chen Xiao's voice landed, a faint shadow solidified in Lu Chenglei's soul and turned into a blood mark.
Suddenly, Lu Chenglei felt fear. It was as if his soul was out of his control and his life was no longer his!
"What did you do to me?!" Lu Chenglei screamed.
"Although I can kill you directly, death is too easy for you since you dared to have evil thoughts about my parents."
Chen Xiao clasped his hands behind his back and said emotionlessly, "I planted a slave contract in your soul. From now on, your life and death are in my hands. It no longer belongs to you."
"Slave contract? Are you kidding me? How can there be such a thing in this world? "Lu Chenglei screamed. He did not believe Chen Xiao's words.
"Freeze."
Chen Xiao looked at him and spat out a syllable. A strange power suddenly appeared.
"Ridiculous! You think you can play tricks … "
In the next moment, Lu Chenglei's body was taken over by force. The connection between his soul and body was broken, so he could only observe his every move from a third person's perspective.
At this time, Chen Xiao said three words, "Slap yourself."
Lu Chenglei saw 'himself' slowly raise his right hand and gather enough power. Then, he slapped 'himself' hard in the face!
For a moment, Lu Chenglei was bombarded by thousands of lightning bolts. Uncontrollable fear surged out and filled every corner of his soul.
"How is this possible? He said the word 'freeze' and I really can't move? He told me to slap myself and I did it myself? "Lu Chenglei was so shocked that he was about to go crazy.
If it weren't for the fact that he could not move his body, his face would have been twisted into a ball.
As a member of the Lu family, he was born with a high status. In the eyes of ordinary people, he was superior. He knew many extraordinary secrets.
Therefore, he knew that there were powerful martial artists in the world who could cut water with a knife and crack rocks with their own strength.
However, he had never heard of any martial artist who could do what Chen Xiao did.
The word 'freeze' was enough to make his body freeze, and a command was enough to make him involuntarily slap himself in the face!
To him, this was beyond the scope of martial arts. It belonged to the divine arts and celestial arts of myths and legends!
"Could it be that this kid is not a martial artist but the reincarnation of a deity?"
Lu Chenglei was not afraid of martial artists because he knew that no matter how strong a martial artist was, they were still human.
But to face a demigod who could summon clouds and rain with a flip of his hand?
Lu Chenglei really had no confidence at all!
"Now, return to the Lu family. Do not say a word about what happened today. At the same time, keep an eye on the Lu family. If there's anything out of the ordinary, report to me immediately."
Right at this moment, Chen Xiao issued another order.
Since Lu Chenglei kept saying the word 'traitor', Chen Xiao would let him have a taste of what it felt like to be a traitor!
'Who do you think you are? How dare you ask me to be a spy for the Lu family?'
Lu Chenglei roared in his heart. However, he could not control his body. It was as if he was being crushed by a thousand tons of weight. He bowed to Chen Xiao.
"Yes, sir."
Just as he said that, the pressure on him suddenly disappeared. There was even a heartfelt joy that came from the depths of his soul.
At that moment, Lu Chenglei felt that this young man before him was so honorable that he would not hesitate to go through fire or die for him!
He realized the strange and scary thought in his mind.
Lu Chenglei's face was full of shock!
"This … This is impossible! How could I have such a thought? "
