Rescuing Someone

The last body fell with a thud.

General Fan fell to the ground, his eyes wide with disbelief. Until the very end, he never saw the killer. That Bone Forging Realm expert was even more shameless than he'd expected, openly using sneak attacks to kill them off one by one.

During the process, General Fan had also organized several attempts to break out.

But each time they moved, more people died.

Especially when passing through the doorway and the alley, people fell in swathes like straw. After two or three rounds, all hope of breaking out was completely extinguished.

In the end, he could only watch as the people around him died one by one.

This kind of death-dealing assassination tormented General Fan so much that when the arrow finally pierced his throat, he instead felt a sense of relief.

"I originally wanted to have a good, hearty fight with you, but who told you to be so dishonorable first?"

Chen Luo walked out of the shadows. Looking at General Fan, whose eyes were still wide in death, he pulled out the iron rod he'd carried with him from his lower back, infused it with Internal Qi, and threw it with a 'whoosh',钉ing it into the other man's chest.

The body didn't react at all.

Only after confirming the man was truly dead did he approach and say with emotion,

The first time he had snuck in, General Fan had been just as cautious, not giving him a one-on-one opportunity. Now that the advantage had shifted, he naturally wouldn't abandon his advantage and foolishly run out to duel the other man.

"Let me take you the rest of the way."

Chen Luo squatted down and placed his hand on General Fan's forehead.

Detected brainwaves of a dead person, damage level 42%. Read?

"Damage level is that high? I hit a bit too hard. I should have known not to hit the head." Chen Luo said with regret.

The scene was chaotic at the time. To prevent General Fan from escaping and leaving future trouble, he had put a little more force into his hand, using his familiar brick to greet General Fan head-on before shooting him dead with a sleeve arrow. As a result, General Fan's face was still covered in blood, which was probably why his eyes were still wide in death. Few normal people in this situation would be able to close their eyes.

Read!

A special energy flowed from his palm into Chen Luo's glabella. The next moment, the two 'brains' in his mind that had no particular specialties were discarded.

After dealing with General Fan and the others in the courtyard, Chen Luo finally relaxed completely.

With such a big commotion and no one from the outside coming back for support, it was likely that the soldiers who had gone out to search had their own ideas. This situation was the best for Chen Luo, saving him some effort. Killing so many people in one night, even he felt a bit numb.

"Junior Sister, Junior Sister He? Wake up."

After collecting a few more useful brains, Chen Luo walked over and untied Junior Sister He Min and the other women. He gently patted the other woman's cheek with his hand.

Unfortunately, Junior Sister He seemed to be asleep, and no matter how he called out, it was useless.

"Could it be that I'm not using enough force?"

Chen Luo looked at his palm, then at the unconscious Junior Sister He.

After much hesitation, he finally gave up the tempting thought in his mind. If he beat her until she looked like a pig's head and took her out, things would be hard to explain. It was better to throw her back and let Master Ma and the others worry about it.

His purpose for returning to Qingya County this time had been achieved.

Next was preparing to escape. The people behind both the Qingya County Magistrate and General Fan were Prince Ning. They were all part of a larger plan. By killing these people, Chen Luo had already fallen out with Prince Ning. The only good thing was that so far, Prince Ning didn't know of his existence.

If he handled it well, things could end here.

As for seeking revenge on Prince Ning, Chen Luo felt his head wasn't that hard. He hadn't suffered any losses in this incident, so there was no need to fight to the death. If he really wanted revenge, he would have to wait until his strength increased later. A Prince's status was incomparable to a Qingya County Magistrate. Not to mention his own strength, just the expert guards around him were not something Chen Luo could handle. General Fan, whom he had spent so much time killing tonight, was likely just a useful dog to Prince Ning, the kind of dog whose name wouldn't even be remembered.

"Hmm?"

As Chen Luo was about to turn around to find a bucket of cold water, a Jade Book nearby suddenly caught his attention.

The dormant Royal Family Brain in his mind suddenly became active the moment it saw the Jade Book.

This is a book controlled by the Royal Family Brain!

A thought instantly flashed through Chen Luo's mind.

A member of the Royal Family with a hidden identity, supported by his Royal Uncle, secretly ventured into a secret realm and obtained a mysterious Jade Book. He wanted to rely on this Jade Book to change his situation, but unexpectedly, he was betrayed by his most trusted Royal Uncle and died miserably on an unnamed mountain. The Jade Book he risked his life to obtain was also snatched by the people sent by the Prince.

The plan was a chain reaction.

If not for Chen Luo, the 'rebellion' in Qingya County would have been successfully quelled, the Royal Family member's revenge would have been taken, and the Jade Book would have fallen into the Prince's hands. The Qingya County Magistrate and the participating personnel would have gained merit for 'suppressing the bandits', earning both fame and profit.

The only loss would have been the people of Qingya County.

But in the eyes of those in power, the lives of the common people were just a string of numbers. They should feel happy to be able to exchange for so many benefits.

"Senior Brother?"

As Chen Luo was about to study the Jade Book further, He Min, who had been unconscious for half a day, finally woke up. The several women who had been captured with her also woke up. As soon as these women woke up and saw the bodies everywhere, they couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

Chen Luo's thoughts were interrupted by them.

"It's good that you're awake. I've killed everyone here. Comfort them and get ready to leave."

Putting the Jade Book into his怀, Chen Luo instructed He Min. He had also come back to his senses. The most urgent matter now was to escape. He could study the book later when it was safe.

K-killed everyone?

Did he mean that literally?

He Min looked around blankly. After seeing General Fan's eyes wide in death, she finally confirmed what 'killed everyone' meant.

These people were really all dead, and they were killed by her Senior Brother.

But Master Ma said Senior Brother only started learning martial arts under him a month ago, didn't he? Could Master have been mistaken?

"Senior Brother! Wait for me."

When He Min snapped back to reality, she saw that Chen Luo had already reached the courtyard gate, leaving only his back in view.

She quickly got up and chased after Chen Luo.

Seeing this, the other women also quickly followed. No matter what the scene was like outside, they didn't want to stay in this courtyard filled with corpses. It had been a while since the soldiers were killed, and the smell of blood had spread. Any normal person would find it unbearable to stay in such an environment.

"Expert!"

As soon as he stepped out, Chen Luo saw Wang Dajiang, who had been waiting outside for a long time.

"Perfect. Junior Sister He and the rescued women are behind me. Go and meet them." Chen Luo, who was already eager to go back and study the booklet, immediately found someone to pass the responsibility to. After handing the people over to Wang Dajiang, he could leave with peace of mind.

"Rescued? As expected of an expert!"

Wang Dajiang was excited and quickly went to meet them. However, after only a few steps, he seemed to suddenly remember something and turned back to ask,

"Oh right, where's my elder brother?"

Wang Dajiang turned back to look, but there was no sign of Chen Luo behind him.

The expert.

He didn't forget about my elder brother, did he?
