Before dawn, the night is thick. The sky is as dark as ink, the stars are sparse, and everything is silent.

Master Lu brought Qiu Jin with him in a luxurious carriage with exquisite carvings on the body and colorful decorations inside.

This is a carriage driven by artificially bred thousand-mile demon horses. Anyone who can ride in this carriage must be a person of extremely high status in the Demon Slaying Bureau.

The thousand-mile demon horse has a speed that ordinary horses can't even match, and it can run for days without showing any signs of fatigue.

It doesn’t take much time to get from Rongnan City to Funing County, and the two can arrive in Funing County before dawn.

Qiu Jin felt a little uneasy sitting on the soft silk cushion; he had never sat in such a luxurious carriage in his life.

Mr. Lu closed his eyes and rested, not saying much. The carriage was dead silent, which made Qiu Jin even more frightened and uneasy.

"Wow!"

A clear and loud bird cry pierced the sky. Master Lu opened his eyes and looked up into the sky.

Although Qiu Jin's strength was low, he could still sense the oppressive feeling brought to him by this rising demonic energy.

Master Lu opened the curtain and looked towards the sky. In the pale sky, he saw a demon bird with broad wings spread, blocking out the sun and dark clouds overhead.

The demon bird's arms roared and tore through the sky, leaving behind a trail of swift afterimages as it rushed towards Funing County.

Master Lu's eyes were calm. He had just arrived in Funing County when a demon bird in the Qi Realm came to report the news.

"Sir, this?" Qiu Jin asked anxiously.

Soon, the demon bird fluttered its wings again and left Funing County.

"It's okay." Mr. Lu's gentle and warm voice was like a stabilizing force, which completely put Qiu Jin's heart at ease.

To the west, stay at Xiwu.

Seeing the tragic death of the little pig demon, Li Yi was distracted, shaking all over, his face as pale as paper, and trembling too much to speak.

I could only crawl on the ground and kneel before the little pig demon spirit.

Xiaoyao Langjun looked at Li Yi who was scared to death and was so angry that he kicked Li Yi several times.

"Click."

The monsters are very strong, and even physical cultivators find it difficult to go head-on with a fierce and powerful monster like Xiaoyao Langjun, let alone an unarmed scholar like Li Yi.

Although Xiaoyao Langjun deliberately reduced his strength in these kicks, Li Yi still felt that all the bones in his body were broken and a piercing pain came over him.

Li Yi didn't dare to howl, he could only grit his teeth and swallow his tears and blood.

Xiaoyao Langjun was still furious when he suddenly saw a figure in the sky.

"Mr. Xiaoyao, I am here to report the news on the orders of the Eight-Eyed Demon Lord."

The demon bird folded its wings that covered the sky and the sun, transformed into a human body, and looked at the mourning hall in surprise.

"What happened?"

Xiaoyao Langjun told Runjin everything. When Runjin saw the monster bird, he burst into tears.

"Please report back to my father and avenge Hai'er's tragic death."

A hint of surprise flashed across the demon bird's eyes. You know, the eighteenth son of Lord Xiaoyao has been loved since birth and is gifted with extraordinary talents. He also has the support of Lord Xiaoyao and Lord Bamu.

Who would have thought that he would be brutally murdered?

When the Eight-eyed Demon King received the reminder from the Lord of Rongnan City, he immediately sent out the demon bird to deliver the message.

Unexpectedly, such a change happened in Suxiwu.

Xiaoyao Langjun's eyes were cold and icy, and he wished he could grind the murderer to ashes.

But he soon realized that his father had sent the demon bird to deliver a message because something serious must have happened. "Demon bird, what instructions does my father have?"

The demon bird narrated, "Funing County went to Rongnan City to ask for help, and the demon slayer who came from above happened to know about it."

"The demon slayer is from the Lu family and is heading to Fuyun County right now."

"You must keep a low profile these days and don't provoke the Lu family."

As soon as the demon bird finished speaking, Suxiwu fell into silence.

The Lu family's reputation was resounding throughout the Dashun Dynasty, and the demons naturally also knew of the famous Lu family.

Most officials of the Dashun Dynasty were afraid of death, and the same was true for the Demon-Slaying Division. When demons met the Demon-Slaying Division, it did not mean that the two sides had to fight to the death. Everything could be negotiated.

But for demons, encountering the Lu family means basically death.

The Lu family has a high talent for martial arts and can sweep away monsters of the same level. Of course, there are also many talented monsters that can defeat the Lu family.

However, the Lu family is extremely protective of their own people and hate evil. The Lu family's lifelong goal is to slay demons and eliminate evil. If a member of the Lu family dies, they will be hunted down by the Lu family continuously.

To the demons, the Lu family are crazy, so they have to stay away from them temporarily and not provoke them.

Lu Lingjue, the head of the Lu family, although a woman, single-handedly charged into the Blood Demon Pool and fought back and forth with the demon kings, becoming the most famous person for a while.

Upon hearing that the Lu family was coming to Funing County, Xiaoyao Langjun's face changed drastically. Could it be that he could only wait for the Lu family to withdraw before he could avenge Hai'er?

After delivering the message, the demon bird flapped its wings and flew away.

Xiaoyao Langjun looked at Li Yi with a cold gaze, "Li Yi, you are so good, are you pretending to be nice to me?"

Li Yi was so frightened that he dared not even breathe or raise his head. God knows he really hoped that Rong Nancheng could send troops for support, but he did not expect that the Lu family would be invited.

God have mercy on me. Because of what happened to the Lu family, my career as an official has come to an end.

Xiaoyao Langjun's eyes were cold. "Since the Lu family is here, you should know what to do."

"No, you have to find a way to lure the Qin family's daughter and the master behind the scenes to Suxiwu before the Lu family arrives."

Li Yi was in a dilemma, but under the pressure of Xiaoyao Langjun, he had to obey.

After Qin Xi came back from the Snake Demon Cliff, he fell asleep.

Mo Zhanji took the Jade Pure Bamboo into the main hall and studied the matter of reshaping the meridians.

Early in the morning, the dilapidated wooden door was knocked.

"Xiao Xi, are you home?"

Qin Xi was drowsy. When he heard the familiar voice, he immediately got up and opened the door.

An old woman was waiting anxiously at the door. In the original body's memory, this was Aunt Zheng who lived next door to the Qin family.

Aunt Zheng is a kind-hearted person and has always taken good care of Qin Xi. After the Qin family encountered misfortune, the surrounding villagers all stayed indoors for fear of being targeted by yamen runners and demons.

Qin Xi could understand the villagers' behavior. They were all peasants who worked in the fields for a living. In today's world, they were lucky to be able to keep their lives and have enough food to eat.

Whether it was the yamen runners or the demons, they could easily take their lives.

The original body was favored by the Big Snake Prince, and the yamen runners beat Qin's father and brother to death in public. How could the unarmed common people stand up and seek justice for the Qin family?

Qin Xi walked slowly to the door, looking surprised, "Auntie Zheng, why are you here before dawn?"

When Aunt Zheng saw Qin Xi, she burst into tears and knelt in front of Qin Xi.

"Xiao Xi, please, save my daughter."

Qin Xi was shocked by this scene. She hurriedly helped Aunt Zheng up and said, "Aunt Zheng, you can't stand this."

"Tell me in detail, what happened?"

Aunt Zheng cried and said, "The police arrested my daughter. Heng'er is still young."

"They said they wanted to give it to monsters like Xiaoyao Langjun as an apology."

"Sister Qin, I heard that you have a master behind you who can help you. Even Lord Snake can't do anything to you. Can you please save my daughter for the sake of our long-term neighbors?"

Qin Xi looked at Aunt Zheng, whose hair turned white overnight and whose eyes were filled with tears. He thought of the Qin family, which was destroyed in an instant. He also remembered the innocent woman on the Snake Demon Cliff who was given as a gift to the big snake man.

Qin Xi felt more and more unbearable in his heart. These evil spirits really took human lives lightly and did all kinds of evil.
