Wei Chen has always left Lu Ren the impression of a master who is secretive and acts steadily.

If he is not sure, he will not act rashly.

But how to explain his delay in returning?

Lu Ren thought again and again, and the most likely possibility is that Wei Chen left without saying goodbye after eliminating the monster.

Based on some scattered information, he can roughly infer that Wei Chen was hiding in Yangliu Town to avoid his enemies.

Now that he has taken action to eliminate the monster, he will inevitably leave clues and be discovered by his enemies.

But these are just his guesses.

Whether Feng Zun is alive or dead, he will have to see it with his own eyes before he can be assured.

Compared with the little monsters in the transformation stage that he killed not long ago, this pheasant in the spiritual realm is the biggest threat to Yangliu Town.

If this monster is not eliminated, it will be futile to kill more monsters.

Lu Ren hung a long knife on his waist, carried a hunting bow on his back, and headed south to Qifeng Ridge...........

The road was very quiet, even common flying insects and animals were rarely seen.

As for human figures, there was not a single one.

The nearby villages had moved away many years ago.

If we continue to stay here, we will sooner or later become food for the demons.

At the foot of Qifeng Mountain, an ancient bluestone road meandered up, surrounded by vines and towering trees on both sides.

The sun shone through the sparse leaves, casting mottled light and shadows.

The air was filled with the smell of moist soil and the fragrance of wild flowers.

If it had not been occupied by demons, this place would be a great place for an outing.

Lu Ren calmed himself and walked towards the demon cave on the mountain with a firm gaze.

The forest was silent, with only faint footsteps echoing in Lu Ren's ears.

"Strange, why is there no sign of fighting?"

The further Lu Ren walked up, the more doubts he had in his heart.

Was it that Wei Chen was too strong and killed Feng Zun in one move, or had he never been here at all?

When he thought of the latter possibility, Lu Ren felt a chill in his heart.

If that was the case, wouldn't his situation be very dangerous?

Lu Ren subconsciously slowed down his pace, and his sharp eyes observed the surroundings vigilantly.

After walking for a while, Lu Ren suddenly heard the melodious sound of a piano not far away.

Lu Ren immediately stopped vigilantly, listened attentively, and frowned tightly.

"Qifeng Ridge is an uninhabited place, how could there be the sound of a piano?"

No!

Who said that the person playing the piano must be a human?

The demons in the transformation stage can already imitate the human lifestyle very well.

Fengzun is a psychic demon above the transformation stage, so it is not surprising that he can master the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Lu Ren couldn't help but sneer and shook his head:"The one playing is"Yangchun Baixue", this pheasant has some taste."

Since he is here, there is no reason to retreat.

Lu Ren held his breath and slowly approached in the direction of the piano sound.

Soon, a pavilion located in the bamboo forest appeared in Lu Ren's sight.

He hid quietly behind a tree, looking into the pavilion through the gap in the bamboo forest.

The next moment, his eyes widened, feeling extremely surprised.

Although the person playing the piano had his back to him, he could still vaguely guess from the slender back that it was a woman.

And opposite her, a woman in a red robe sat upright. A handsome man with a bit of charm.

The man in red robe closed his eyes, completely immersed in the melodious and elegant piano music.

Damn! What's going on?

If nothing unexpected happens, the man in red robe is Feng Zun.

But who is that woman?

No!

It's hard to say whether she is a human or a monster.

Being able to mix with monsters and still play the piano calmly, this woman's identity must be unusual.

At this moment, a big hand was placed on Lu Ren's shoulder.

His heart was pounding, and he turned his head suddenly to prepare for an attack.

Unexpectedly, it was a familiar face.

"It's me." Wei Chen reminded in a low voice:"Don't talk, follow me."

Lu Ren loosened his fist and followed Wei Chen's steps carefully.

Not long after, the two came to a narrow, cold and damp cave.

After each of them found a stone to sit down, Wei Chen looked at Lu Ren:"Why are you here?"

Lu Ren did not hide it and told the truth:"I was worried that you took the money but didn't do the job, so I came to check on Shen Deshou."

Shen Deshou was still alive before Wei Chen left.

So he should not know about Shen Deshou's death.

Lu Ren said this to take the opportunity to test Wei Chen's attitude.

"The old man is still worried about me."Wei Chen said with a smile.

His behavior was normal.

It showed that he had not returned to Yangliu Town in the past two days.

"But you are really brave. If you were found by that pheasant, you would be a corpse now."

Lu Ren smiled and then expressed his doubts.

"Master Wei, have you been lurking here for the past two days?"

"That's right"

"You haven't taken action yet, is it because you are not sure?"

Wei Chen was silent for a moment, and said seriously:"I dare not say that I am 100% sure of killing the pheasant in a single fight, but I still have an 80% chance."

"If that's the case, why do you still have concerns?"

""Didn't you see it all?"

Lu Ren pondered.

Soon, his eyes lit up and he asked in surprise,"Are you afraid of the woman in green who plays the piano?"

Wei Chen lowered his head in shame.

"That woman is not someone you can easily deal with."

Lu Ren caught a key piece of information:"You said, that woman is a human?"

"That's right." Wei Chen nodded slightly, and then said:"The woman has been coming to teach the pheasant to play the piano in recent days. I don't know the relationship between them, so I dare not act rashly.

The woman's strength seems to be even higher than the pheasant. If I fight one against two, I have no chance of winning."

"I see. I thought you took the money and ran away."

Wei Chen said unhappily,"Am I that kind of person in your eyes?"

Lu Ren smiled awkwardly and waved his hand,"It was just a joke.���I am mainly concerned about your safety, Master Wei, so I came here to check on you."

"Humph, don't pretend in front of me, you kid, why would you risk your life for something that has no benefit? It must be that old man Shen Deshou gave you some benefit."

"Haha, Master Wei, you really underestimated me. My only purpose in coming to Qifeng Ridge today was to see the death of that pheasant with my own eyes."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Wei Chen didn't say anything more.

"You also saw that the woman in green will leave at some point. I advise you to go back quickly. If you continue to stay here, I cannot guarantee your safety."

Lu Ren did not respond, but went to the cave entrance and listened carefully.

"The music has ended." He said to Wei Chen.

The two walked out of the cave in tacit understanding and returned to the place where they had observed the pavilion before.

The woman in green said a few words to the man in red, and then went down the mountain.

Feng Zun was holding the xylophone, looking at the woman's back as she left.

Lu Ren and Wei Chen looked at each other:"I'll follow and take a look."

Wei Chen thought for a while and nodded:"You must be careful, don't be exposed, I will kill this pheasant as soon as possible."
