Li Mo's actions made all of Lu Chengfeng's previous plans come to nothing, and also left a loophole. As long as the people from Sanxian Mountain investigated, they would know that there was something wrong with the two people who wanted to sneak into the mountain village before.

Although it is difficult to investigate their identities through these clues, it will also bring great trouble to their subsequent actions.

At this time, all the escorts and men of the Dongjia Escort Agency had been killed, leaving only women and a few children.

Li Mo was filled with righteous indignation when he chose to take action just now. He didn't think about the consequences or how to deal with it afterwards. When he heard Lu Chengfeng's words, he was suddenly at a loss.

Lu Chengfeng glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "First, pile up all the bodies together. There are many trees in this forest. Let's burn this place clean."

"Hurry up. If something goes wrong here, they will notice it soon. Maybe someone has already gone up the mountain to report it."

The reason why he wanted to deal with these corpses was because of the sword marks left when he took action, especially the sword energy he used to kill Wolf Three. For those who are interested, they can see a lot of things from it.

Lu Chengfeng never dared to underestimate those miraculous skills and secret techniques. Although some martial arts could not be practiced to a very high level, they had special uses in certain aspects.

For those warriors who are proficient in forensic techniques or tracking skills, it is not impossible to infer the murderer's information through clues, or even track him down for thousands of miles.

Even if there was no such master in the village, Lu Chengfeng did not want to take the risk of burning the place clean. Even if it would arouse some people's suspicion, it would be much better than leaving so many traces.

Given Lu Chengfeng's character of planning before acting, his methods of doing things should not have been so crude, but this time something unexpected happened and he had no choice but to do so.

Seeing Li Mo busy, Lu Chengfeng said to the surviving Dong family members who were crying loudly: "More bandits will come down from the mountain soon. If you want to survive, hurry up and get on the carriage and continue to flee towards Zhongdu."

"We have to deal with these bodies and have no time to take care of you. Whether you can escape the pursuit depends on your life."

At this time, there were a total of six family members left alive in the carriage, including the woman holding the baby and the slim woman with a pretty face, as well as two maids and a woman who were accompanying them.

Hearing this, they were frightened and turned pale again, especially the corpses and broken arms all over the ground, which looked like a Shura hell. However, the women who had never seen such a bloody scene were so frightened that their legs became weak and they couldn't even crawl on the ground.

Lu Chengfeng ignored them and started to act quickly to deal with the corpses.

The old woman was older after all, so she suppressed her fear and said, "I will never forget the kindness you two heroes have given me. As the saying goes, you should save people to the end, and send Buddha to the west. Can you two benefactors send us to Anyang County in Zhongzhou? The chief escort will definitely give us a big gift to thank you for saving my life."

Lu Chengfeng's face turned cold, and he took a deep breath to suppress the murderous intent in his chest. He said coldly: "If you say any more nonsense, I will kill you all."

The old woman was so frightened that her hair stood on end. She lowered her head and hustled to the woman's side. "Madam, let's run quickly, or we may be too late."

The others were also frightened by Lu Chengfeng's chilling words. No matter how scared they were, they still forced themselves to climb onto the carriage.

Several people were squeezed into a carriage. The old woman sat on the shaft and with a shout, she finally got the carriage moving slowly.

Lu Chengfeng and Li Mo moved very quickly. In less than half an hour, flames were blazing on the wooded path. The fire grew bigger and bigger, and thick black smoke rose into the sky, which could be seen from a long distance away.

Lu Chengfeng and Li Mo found two frightened horses in the woods and headed towards Zhongzhou.

Not long after they left, a man with Buddhist beads around his neck, a monk's sword in his hand, long hair and a monk's band, and a handsome young man in a white robe and a folding fan in his hand arrived here.

The two of them couldn't help but frown as they looked at the blazing fire. The fire was so big that it would be difficult to put it out with manpower.

"It seems that something has happened to Lang San and his companions. All the brothers who came down the mountain are dead. After killing the people, those murderers did not forget to set a fire to destroy the bodies. They are really experienced."

The man dressed as a traveler spoke. He was the boss of the Three Immortal Mountains. He roamed the area where the three states met with his 108 crazy swords and thirty-six meditation beads. He was known as the Crazy Monk.

The handsome man in a white robe holding a folding fan next to him is none other than the third in command, known in the martial arts world as Jun Yanluo.

His eyes were dim as he carefully examined the traces left along the path. "Which family did Wolf Three and his gang attack when they came down the mountain to hunt for food this time?"

Feng Tou Tuo frowned and said, "It's the Dong Family Escort Agency that travels between Anyang County and Jibei County in Yanzhou. The old man from the Dong Family Escort Agency has been making some small moves in private recently, trying to get closer to the Patrol of the Sky."

"I sent someone to ask him to increase the share he handed in by 10% as a warning, but the old man refused."

"This time I asked Lang San to teach them a lesson, but I never thought something bad would happen."

"Could it be that the old man had anticipated that we would make trouble, so he secretly prepared experts to accompany us?"

Jun Yanluo tapped the folding fan in his left palm and said thoughtfully: "It's hard to say now. The north has not been stable recently. It's hard to say whether someone is secretly stirring up trouble."

"But looking at the traces left on the road, it is clear that someone is still alive. There is a carriage and two horses, all heading towards Zhongzhou."

"If we find those who are still alive, we will naturally be able to find out the truth."

"I want to see who dares to make trouble in the land of the King of Hell."

The Crazy Monk looked towards Zhongzhou and asked, "You want to chase them yourself?" Jun Yanluo said, "With my Qinggong, it won't take long to catch up with them. Even if there really is an expert, I can still escape unscathed."

The Crazy Monk did not have any doubts. Although Jun Yanluo was only famous for his flying knives, he was the only one in the entire Three Immortals Mountain who knew that he was actually from Youdu. His swordsmanship was mysterious and his assassination skills were extremely terrifying.

As long as you don't encounter a half-step celestial being, you can go anywhere in the world. Even if you are defeated, you can still escape by relying on your lightness skills.

At this level, defeating the enemy is easy, but killing the enemy becomes much more difficult.

"Okay, go and test the other side first. If there really is an expert, don't force it. Come back and call the brothers first, and then we can attack together."

After the Crazy Monk finished speaking, Jun Yanluo nodded and followed the horseshoe prints.

……

Lu Chengfeng and Li Mo were riding their horses at a rapid speed. The sky gradually darkened. It was already evening when they came out to ambush the enemy. After a bloody fight, night had already fallen.

The old woman was not a coachman, and she managed to drive the carriage but it was slow. It was a dark and windy night, making the path in the forest even more difficult to navigate.

When Li Mo saw the carriage, he subconsciously pulled the reins and gradually slowed down.

"Senior brother..."

Without waiting for him to finish, Lu Chengfeng said, "You can't save them, and neither can I."

"When the fire in the forest starts, experts from Sanxian Mountain will definitely catch up with us. If we run away too late, even the two of us won't be able to protect ourselves, let alone them."

Li Mo was riding a horse. The weather was still very cold at night in early spring. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, which was enough to chill people to the bone.

"If that's the case, what was the point of me saving them before?"

Lu Chengfeng said calmly: "You should ask yourself this. If we acted according to the plan, we should have already infiltrated the village by now."

Li Mo's hair was blown wildly by the strong wind, and his tattered clothes fluttered in the wind. "But if we don't take action, even the baby who is only a few months old will die."

Lu Chengfeng did not offer any comfort, "The result is the same now. We may even lose our lives."

"Brother, you go, I'll stay." After a long silence, Li Mo suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but sneer, "So you want to die with them?"

"I will find a way to conceal my senior brother's existence, take all the responsibility on myself, and buy you time." Li Mo lowered his head, his voice floating in the night wind.

"Oh, do you really think you are the savior?" Lu Chengfeng never thought that Li Mo, who has always been calm and capable, would have such naive ideas.

He pulled the reins suddenly, and the horse he was sitting on immediately neighed, raised its front hooves high, and stopped.

"I'm giving you a choice now. You chase them, kill all those women, and take the child away."

"Then we can use some tricks to confuse the enemy and maybe we can escape."

"Of course you can continue to be so stupid. The final result is that we may all die here, including the child."

"You choose where to go!"

Li Mo also stopped his horse and stared at Lu Chengfeng blankly. He felt that the night was particularly cold tonight, as if he had returned to the day four years ago.

He clenched his teeth tightly, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth unconsciously, "Brother, is this the only way?"

Lu Chengfeng looked at the boy he had brought up, slowly stretched out his hand, facing the cold night wind, as if he wanted to grab something, "Junior brother, this world is so cruel."

"If you are strong enough, it would be reasonable for you to turn around and massacre the entire Sanxian Mountain."

"But if you want to be a hero and save people without any strength, you will sacrifice yourself and even hurt your fellow disciples."

"You choose your own path. I won't force you."

Li Mo looked at him blankly, his body a little stiff in the night wind. He suddenly turned over and got off the horse, kowtowed three times to Lu Chengfeng.

"Brother, please go!"

"I chose the path, and I have to bear the consequences myself."
