Lu Chen caused trouble outside to distract the Luo Family, allowing Yun Niang and Zhou Yan to sneak into the Luo Family estate.

The butler, having received orders, went out and bumped into a graceful figure at the corner.

Yun Niang smiled and crushed the communication jade talisman, her array flags flying like butterflies from her sleeve, instantly setting up a soundproof barrier.

"You..." The butler's throat made a gurgling sound, and his neck was already bleeding from the golden threads.

Yun Niang's fingertips lightly twisted the golden threads, her voice cold and stern, "Betraying the country for glory deserves death!"

Pfft!

With a tightening of the golden threads, the butler's head fell off, rolling twice on the ground.

The butler had only been in his position for a little over a month; he hadn't even had his fill before his life was gone.

Three quarters past midnight, Luo Family forbidden ground.

Lu Chen, brought in by Zhou Yan, crept along the wall, his nose suddenly catching a faint, delicate fragrance.

He turned and saw Yun Niang emerge from the shadows, her face covered by a light veil, revealing only a pair of eyes like autumn water.

"What are you looking at?" she glared.

"Your face! I'm looking at the wrinkles on your face, they're big enough to trap caterpillars!"

Yun Niang gritted her teeth. This scoundrel was truly hopeless.

Joking around, but not even considering the place.

Trapping caterpillars, indeed! It would be better to trap him to death!

Meanwhile, Zhou Yan, standing guard, cursed them inwardly.

He couldn't understand why Lu Chen was so attentive to this ugly woman. Did teasing her give him a sense of accomplishment?

His taste was truly heavy.

Just as Yun Niang raised her hand to strike, Lu Chen suddenly said with a serious expression, "Two Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators in the northeast corner, three consecutive killing arrays to the southwest. Pay attention to that rockery."

Yun Niang rolled her eyes and tossed half a scroll of the array map to Zhou Yan, "Half an incense stick, is that enough?"

Zhou Yan's mental state almost collapsed.

This wasn't fair.

I'm risking my life, and you two are showing off your affection. What is this?!

"You're trying to kill me..."

Zhou Yan, with a mournful face, reached for the stone beast. The moment his fingertip touched the array patterns, the entire rockery shook violently, alerting the two demonic cultivators.

"Idiot..." Before Yun Niang could finish speaking, Lu Chen had already shot towards the demonic cultivators like an arrow released from a bow.

The Soul Severing Saber, enveloped by wind and thunder, shattered the protective blood shield with one strike. His left hand, covered in Blood Qi, plunged directly into the enemy's abdomen.

The other demonic cultivator waved his banner, summoning fierce ghosts, but they were all swallowed by the Myriad Manifestations Furnace from above.

"The Soul Devouring Banner is mine!" Lu Chen snatched the blood-colored banner flag in mid-air. The furnace fire swept over, and the resentful souls within the banner shrieked as they turned into wisps of smoke.

The blood pool in the center of the forbidden ground suddenly boiled, and countless wronged souls struggled to break free.

Yun Niang bit her fingertip, using her blood as ink to draw a talisman in the air, "Nine Luminaries Seal Demon, Suppress!"

The moment the golden talisman pressed down on the blood pool, Zhou Yan finally destroyed the stone beast.

The array patterns flickered three times and then collapsed with a roar.

Lu Chen seized the opportunity to throw the Soul Devouring Banner into the furnace. Blood light surged into the sky, and was completely absorbed by the furnace.

A heaven-shattering roar came from the Luo Family ancestral hall. The three of them hurriedly activated the Earth Escape Talismans and disappeared.

On the peak of a barren mountain ten miles away, Lu Chen glanced sideways at Yun Niang, who was reapplying her makeup, "Isn't it good to be beautiful? Why do you insist on pretending to be ugly!"

"None of your business!" Yun Niang snapped, "You're a stray dog now, why are you meddling in my affairs?"

Lu Chen's expression stiffened.

Damn it, her words were sharp enough to pierce someone's lungs.

The three of them stayed for a moment before sneaking back into Cangwu City.

The next day, south of Cangwu City, Lu Chen leaned by the window, his fingertip stroking a wine glass, his gaze sweeping over the crowd below.

Yun Niang sat in the opposite corner, stirring her porridge with a silver spoon.

"Destroying forty Death Guards in three days, the Luo Family is probably going crazy."

She scooped up a spoonful of sweet porridge, the corner of her lips curling up, "Do you think they'll skin you or pull out your tendons?"

Lu Chen swirled his wine glass and chuckled lightly, "I guess they'd be most willing to peel off that mask of yours to see your true face..."

"Guest, I'm here to refill your wine!"

The waiter interrupted Lu Chen's words and pushed the door open, walking towards him with a wine pot.

"Guest, this is top-grade Bamboo Leaf Green..." Before the waiter could finish speaking, three red centipedes suddenly darted out from his sleeve, pouncing towards Lu Chen's face.

Bang!

Three centipedes were suddenly smashed into a pile of flesh and blood by the surging blood qi.

Lu Chen grabbed the shop assistant's neck, tore at his face, and revealed a human skin mask. He sneered, "Your disguise skill is far inferior to Miss Yun's."

"Call me Auntie!" Yun Niang, who had arrived, snorted coldly.

"Okay, Auntie Miss!"

"You're so annoying!" Yun Niang's defenses were completely breached, and at the same time, Lu Chen's were too.

Damn it, why did her voice change?

It became even more pleasant to the ear.

The shop assistant in his hand was also amused and spat out blood.

Damn it, show some respect for your captive, alright?

Then, the shop assistant, as if being squeezed, directly stuck out his tongue.

Which ugly woman is this, replacing Lu Chen and viciously grabbing him.

"Speak, who sent you? What are your next moves?"

Slap! Slap!

Before he could answer, she slapped him twice. And she didn't even look at him, staring at Lu Chen with gritted teeth.

Looking at... it's really disgusting!

"I found out, I found out!" Zhou Yan walked in excitedly as the door opened.

"Oh!" Yun Niang nodded and, with a crack, directly crushed the "shop assistant" to death.

The shop assistant's eyes bulged in his final moments; he died with his eyes wide open.

I really wanted to say I didn't want to die!

"What did you find out?" Lu Chen, seeing Yun Niang staring at him, quickly took a step back, waved his hand to collect the shop assistant's corpse, and chuckled awkwardly.

Zhou Yan looked at the two of them and coughed, "At the Graveyard south of the city, to further refine the Soul Devouring Banner..."

"Let's go!" Yun Niang suddenly turned around and said coldly.

"Wh-what's wrong?" Zhou Yan asked curiously as Lu Chen approached.

"Women, you know, have those days..."

Bang!

Before he could finish speaking, a figure lunged over. Lu Chen let out a scream and fell out of the window onto the street.

Yun Niang was truly furious this time.

What kind of scoundrel dares to tease me like this? Do you want to die or do you want to die?

Lu Chen was also confused.

She's not that ruthless, is she?

But how could he know that he hadn't yet shaken off the influence of his soul from his transmigration?

Jokes like this were harmless in the world he transmigrated from, but not in this world!

This was vulgar and shameless behavior.

"You're crazy!" He was still angry, his face full of fury.

But seeing the Luo family members lunging at him, he leaped up and, using the Wind and Thunder Steps, shot towards the outskirts of the city.

Zhou Yan secretly clicked his tongue, admiring him to the point of prostration.

He really dares to speak his mind!

Look at how angry this ugly woman was; she was about to spontaneously combust.

Lu Chen broke out of the south gate, turned, and lunged towards the west gate. After shaking off his pursuers, he returned.

He found the two hidden in a mountain stream.

"Why can't you take..."

Swish swish swish!

Before he could finish, three poisoned needles shot towards him.

Lu Chen's mouth twitched. He caught them with his hand and said with a bitter smile:

"It's not that serious, is it?"

"I'll kill you!"

Yun Niang was fuming, wishing she could flay this scoundrel alive. He just kept provoking her.

"B-big brother, anyone would get angry if you said something like that... Ouch!"

The kind-hearted Zhou Yan clutched his head and fell backward, looking up.

He had been knocked unconscious by Yun Niang with a brick.

Lu Chen shivered, as if realizing something.

Jokes like that might fly on Earth, but not in this world!

Damn it!

"Come on, you old hag! I'll see you dead before I'm done with you!" Yun Niang declared, flipping her hand to reveal a silver spear. With a flourish, she violently charged.

"Holy crap!" Lu Chen exclaimed in shock.

This woman had been faking it all this time.

What a load of crap about being a formation master.

Pa pa pa...

Lu Chen's hands, enveloped in Blood Qi, clashed with the spear twice. Finally, he grabbed the shaft and yanked hard.

Yun Niang was pulled towards him, her waist caught and drawn into his embrace.

"Ooooh~~~..."

This feeling...

It was intoxicating, absolutely intoxicating.

Lu Chen let out a trembling sound, like a rooster crowing.
