Li Yanran Makes Her Move!

"Father, let's go first!"

The two young men beside Lu Jiahe hurried forward at once, supporting him as they headed for the door.

"Damn it! You dare ruin my grand plan!"

The leading burly man also flew into a rage, fully unleashing the aura of a Flesh Refining Realm martial artist.

The burly man raised his right foot and kicked at the severely injured Li Mingzhong, intending to send him flying.

Yet Li Mingzhong seemed unafraid of death. Ignoring the agonizing pain from his left arm, he raised his right arm to block the burly man's attack.

"Why aren't you idiots chasing them yet? If that old bastard gets away, just wait to die!"

Seeing that he could not shake off Li Mingzhong, the burly man hurriedly shouted at the men behind him.

The moment his words fell, the several men behind the burly man stopped concealing themselves. They all unleashed the aura of the Flesh Refining Realm and gave chase outside.

Not far outside the Lu Family Pharmacy, two women had arrived, each riding a fine horse.

One wore a plain white dress, while the other was dressed in a neat Azure Blue brocade robe embroidered with a mysterious black darkbird.

The arrivals were none other than Ye Qingxuan and Li Yanran.

Ye Qingxuan looked at Li Yanran in confusion, not knowing why she had stopped here.

"Sister Yanran, what's wrong?"

Today was the day Li Yanran was leaving County Town, and Ye Qingxuan happened to be planning to follow Li Yanran back to the Prefecture.

This was because Li Yanran had already confirmed that the White Lotus Blood Infant was dead.

As for why Li Yanran had stopped in front of the Lu Family Pharmacy, it was because she had once again thought of that Senior Lu Xuan.

If she had not experienced it herself, it would truly have been difficult to imagine.

A figure with martial talent comparable to a peerless monster actually existed in such a small County Town.

"It's nothing. Let's go, Qingxuan!"

Li Yanran cast aside the many thoughts in her mind. There was no use thinking so much.

In any case, Senior Lu Xuan could not possibly remain in this small County Town for the rest of his life. Sooner or later, they would meet again.

Just then, a commotion broke out before the Lu Family Pharmacy as five or six people ran out from inside.

At the very front were Lu Jiahe and his two sons, while the guards of the Lu Family Pharmacy shielded them from behind.

"Don't worry about me! Yunqing, Yunfeng, hurry and get help! Go support Mingzhong!"

Waves of searing pain surged from Lu Jiahe's chest, and darkened blood continued to flow from his wound.

"There's poison on the sword!"

The instant they saw the black blood at Lu Jiahe's wound, Lu Yunqing and Lu Yunfeng were thrown into panic.

"Eh!"

"What happened here?"

"The Lu Family's old shopkeeper has been attacked!"

"Who has such nerve that they dare lay hands on the Lu Family Old Master?"

The passersby outside the Lu Family Pharmacy cried out one after another.

"The Lu Family's old shopkeeper?"

Li Yanran, who had been about to leave not far away, suddenly turned her head.

She saw several Big Men of the Flesh Refining Realm rush out from the Lu Family Pharmacy, chasing after the people outside.

"You sons of bitches! You damned bastards, stop right there!"

From farther down the street, several men dressed in County Yamen Runners' uniforms rushed fiercely toward the Lu Family Pharmacy.

The Yamen Runner at the very front looked somewhat plump. He was Liang Cheng.

At that moment, Liang Cheng erupted with astonishing speed, and the aura of the recently attained greater completion of the Flesh Refining Realm swept out from his body.

With his eyes split wide in fury, Liang Cheng stared fixedly ahead. Regardless of everything else, he rammed aside one pedestrian after another blocking his way as he rushed toward the Lu Family Pharmacy.

At that moment, several more people dressed in County Yamen Runners' uniforms stepped out from beside a side street.

They swaggered up and stood in front of Liang Cheng, blocking his path. They seemed to have been lying in wait here all along.

The leading Yamen Runner was tall and powerfully built. His gaze at Liang Cheng carried a mocking gleam.

"Huang Wen!"

"Get the hell out of my way, or I'll slaughter you!"

With red eyes, Liang Cheng drew the saber at his waist as he spoke and slashed directly at Huang Wen, who was blocking his path.

On the other side, one of the men quickly caught up to Lu Jiahe and sent the guards beside him flying with several kicks.

"Heh heh heh!"

"Damn it, old bastard, go die!"

The man could barely contain the delight on his face. He clenched his right fist and smashed it toward Lu Jiahe's head.

At that moment, it was as if he could see wealth and glory beckoning to him.

Boom!

An afterimage invisible to the naked eye flashed past, followed by several thunderous crashes.

The men pursuing Lu Jiahe seemed to have suffered heavy blows, their bodies hurtling into the surrounding buildings.

"He's been poisoned. Give him this first. It's Profound Origin Root Elixir!"

The one who had acted was Li Yanran. She did not say much, only hurriedly explained.

She directly took an exquisite little jade bottle from her robes and held it out before Lu Yunqing and Lu Yunfeng.

"Profound Origin Root Elixir!"

After a cry of alarm, Lu Yunqing swiftly snatched up the little jade bottle and, without the slightest hesitation, gave its contents to his father, Lu Jiahe.

Since the other party had saved them, it proved that she bore them no ill will.

"You trash actually broke through?"

Huang Wen looked at Liang Cheng in disbelief.

He now appeared somewhat flustered, concentrating fully on defending against Liang Cheng's attacks.

Liang Cheng's life-risking style of fighting made Huang Wen's heart pound with fear, and many wounds had already appeared on his body.

How had that worthless Liang Cheng broken through to the greater completion of the Flesh Refining Realm, reaching the same Martial Realm as him?

"Forget those fools. We're leaving!"

Seeing more and more people gathering, Huang Wen began to retreat. Abandoning the idea of stopping Liang Cheng, he directly led his men into the side street.

When Liang Cheng saw them leave, he regained his senses as well. Ignoring his injuries, he hurried toward the Lu Family Pharmacy.

At that moment, a burly man ran out from inside the Lu Family Pharmacy. He was the very man who had attempted to assassinate Lu Jiahe earlier.

Li Mingzhong had already begun showing signs of poisoning. After the burly man kicked him away, he had rushed out in haste.

"Damn it! That old bastard still isn't dead!"

Seeing Lu Jiahe still alive not far away, the burly man hardened his heart and hurled the short sword in his hand with all his strength, sending it straight at Lu Jiahe.

Yet the short sword was caught in midair by a pale little hand and instantly snapped into two.

"There's someone else?"

Li Yanran casually scattered the broken pieces of the short sword onto the ground.

Before the burly man could react to the same scene, his vision went black. His body shot like a cannonball back into the Lu Family Pharmacy.

Liang Cheng also arrived at this moment. When he saw his unconscious uncle, Lu Jiahe—

Liang Cheng's face instantly turned pale, and rage surged skyward within him.

County Office!

County Office case archives!

Lu Xuan was sitting inside, taking one book after another into his hands as his eyes rapidly scanned the records within.

After Lu Xuan's uncle-in-law, Liang Shanhai, learned the reason for Lu Xuan's visit, he did not think much of it and directly brought Lu Xuan into the County Office archives.

Though this violated the County Office's rules, no one dared say anything.

At that moment, the archive door was pushed open, and a figure hurried inside.

The arrival was a middle-aged man with a square face, dressed in a white brocade robe. He was Lu Xuan's uncle-in-law, Liang Shanhai, the County Office's Chief Clerk Sir.

His expression was grave as he looked at Lu Xuan.

"Xiao Xuan, something happened to your father!"

Lu Xuan instantly raised his head to look at Liang Shanhai. His eyes narrowed, and the motion of turning the page in his hand froze!

In an instant, a terrifying and powerful aura filled the archive room. Endless violent winds raged, whipping the papers into loud rustling!
