Chapter 121: Killing is not addictive because he is kind
Geng Xuan rode a huge and strange "centipede" through the underground of Baiyuanji.

This time, with a clear route, Geng Xuan did not turn into the tunnels connected to the ground, but went directly across the underground of Baiyuanji and headed towards Chiwu Mountain.

Even so, the "trophies" obtained along the way were nearly twice as much as last time.

When Geng Xuan spent nearly an hour to completely cross the underground of Baiyuanji and entered the tunnel located in the belly of Chiwu Mountain, in the carriage behind him, there were seven unconscious people lying side by side, crowded together.

After seeing them from a distance, Geng Xuan knocked them out immediately without asking any reasons, and threw them into the carriage behind him.

Because each incident was handled so quickly, neatly, and decisively, it did not cause any impact on the movement of the entire convoy underground.

The time taken by the entire journey was about the same as Geng Xuan expected.

After leaving Baiyuanji's underground network, passing the last fork in the road, and entering the Chiwu Mountain Tunnel, the convoy finally stopped.

Geng Xuan ordered the caravan to rest on the spot, because the caravan already carried a large amount of food and drinking water, enough for the people and horses for several days, and they were all carefully prepared in advance. Except that the taste was not as good as fresh food, there was nothing to complain about in other aspects.

Then, Geng Xuan ordered Hong Quan, Cheng Hui, Xie Hang and others who were in the cars behind him to go through the entire convoy with the seven unconscious prisoners.

Return to the end of the convoy and come to the fork connecting to other tunnels.

Geng Xuan stretched out his hands and quickly grabbed on both walls, blocking the tunnel leading to Chiwu Mountain bit by bit.

With his skilled technique, the tunnel was quickly blocked, leaving only a narrow path that was only wide enough for people to pass through sideways, and the fork in the road became a one-way passage.

Geng Xuan took out a huge wooden board and placed it in front of the narrow path, saying, "It's time to make a fire."

This dim underground environment was not a big problem for Geng Xuan.

But for others, it's very unfriendly.

The tunnel was not big to begin with, and more than two hundred carriages fully loaded with cargo and thirty-six tall horses completely occupied the core area.

When people travel back and forth, they can only pass sideways through the narrow gaps on both sides, which is very inconvenient.

After the fleet was modified, there were still a lot of wood left, such as the roofs, which were all discarded. In order not to leave such obvious traces, and since there was enough transportation capacity, all the wood was loaded into the cars and transported away together, so there was no shortage of materials for making fire.

Soon, a bright bonfire started burning, and everyone's hearts seemed to become much brighter.

Even the dry food in my mouth seemed to taste a lot better.

Occasionally, some discordant screams could be heard.

Hong Quan, Cheng Hui and Xie Hang had woken up all seven captives and interrogated them according to his instructions.

Those who cooperated naturally had nothing to worry about.

If you don't cooperate, you will inevitably suffer.

Hong Quan and the other two are also very concerned about the situation of Baiyuanji on the ground, so there is no need to worry that they will slack off and let things go.

When Geng Xuan came to the side of the few people, they basically understood what was going on.

Among these seven people, only two of them had been staying in the underground tunnels for a long time. However, because too many people came down from above in a short period of time today, the underground of Baiyuanji was also stirred up. It was under this circumstance that the two of them ran from their original hiding area to the route of the convoy.

As for the other five people, they all ran here today, or to be more precise, in the last two or three hours.

According to them, after many forces in Baiyuanji discovered signs of a massacre where the Anleji convoy was stationed, Baiyuanji, which had been ostensibly abiding by the ban of Master Feng, immediately fell into chaos.

At the beginning, Master Feng arranged for blue-clothed guards to suppress the rioters in Baiyuanji and maintain order.

But soon, all kinds of rumors about the deaths, disappearances, and defections of the blue-clothed guards who were sent out spread wildly throughout Baiyuanji.

These people didn't know what exactly happened, they just spread the news anyway.

It was also said that several other masters had broken into Baiyuan Pavilion and demanded that Master Feng explain the situation and how much they knew about the strange scene at the Anleji convoy outside Baiyuanji.

The two sides parted on bad terms and reportedly even came to blows.

In the end, those several masters all left Baiyuan Pavilion, but the dispatched blue-clothed guards also withdrew from various places in Baiyuan Collection and retreated to the area around Baiyuan Pavilion.

Other areas outside Baiyuan Pavilion suddenly became unattended.

Within just one or two hours, many headless murders occurred one after another.

No one knows who the murderer is, and no one is trying to track him down. Everyone is guessing that this is all deep-seated resentment from the past that has taken this opportunity to erupt.

When these people came down, there were even blatant home robberies.

For a cultivator who has mastered power and possesses great mobility, once the threat of a stronger force is gone and the surrounding environment suddenly becomes free, he will quickly activate the ferocious beast hidden in his heart.

Considering that this window period may be very short and the opportunity will not come again, we should cherish it even more.

After learning about the current situation of Baiyuanji on the ground, Xie Hang was completely stunned. Hong Quan and Cheng Hui both looked at Geng Xuan with worried and pleading eyes.

Geng Xuan did not answer them, but just glanced over the heads of the seven prisoners with a slightly scrutinizing gaze.

Hong Quan and Cheng Hui both felt a chill in their hearts.

Especially Hong Quan, that look clearly did not contain any murderous intent, but it made him feel extremely terrified.

This is the real death trial!
He clearly remembered that whether it was at the scene of the convoy murder, when he casually executed the six spies arranged by the three forces of Baiyuanji, or before executing the four captives in the cave, the murderer in front of him had done the same action.

It’s like doing a final review and confirmation before actually taking action.

At this moment, they caught a glimpse of the murderer's right hand moving.

Both of them felt a tightness in their hearts.

The next moment, the murderer stretched out his hand and waved.

Then I heard a few "bang bang" sounds as if someone was tapping a melon shell with their hands.

Looking up, he saw white liquid spurting out of the mouths, noses and ears of the five captives lying on the side wall of the tunnel.

Both of them felt their scalps tingling when they saw this scene.

They didn't dare to imagine what had happened to the brains of these five people.

Huh, five people?

The two people who realized the problem looked up at the other two.

The two men seemed a little confused and didn't fully understand what was happening.

He looked around with a frightened and pleading look.

Geng Xuan said to Luo Qing beside him, "Take them both away and comfort them."

Luo Qing and Ding Yong stepped forward, each dragging one of the children and walking towards the convoy.

The two people who realized what was happening let out screams like pigs being slaughtered.

After refining the remaining energy of the five people, Geng Xuan once again gained ninety-seven points of good luck and five points of bad luck.

He looked at Cheng Hui and Hong Quan who were dumbfounded and said:
"You seem confused? ...Why didn't I kill them too?"

"..."

Geng Xuan did not answer directly, but looked at Hong Quan, smiled, and said: "You should know the reason."

Having said that, he did not mention the matter again, but asked:
"In Baiyuanji, is there any force that has committed serious sins, is not very powerful, and is also far away from Baiyuan Pavilion?"

Hong Quan and Cheng Hui looked at each other and said almost at the same time: "The Lu family!"

Hong Quan also added, "It was the Lu family who had previously arranged two people to come to the Anleji convoy station together with the car dealership and the pharmacy."

"It's his house, right?" Geng Xuan nodded suddenly.

This Lu family, on the one hand, uses every possible means to turn people into gamblers, and on the other hand, does their utmost to increase Anleji's efficiency in "squeezing oil" from these gamblers. They truly deserve to be guilty of a serious crime.

but……

"Doesn't his family also have a strong man in the Marrow Refining Realm?" Geng Xuan asked Hong Quan.

Before this, he had already learned that this family also had a powerful Marrow Refining Realm expert whose strength was not inferior to that of other masters, but he failed to become the master because he was not popular.

Hong Quan explained:
"The Lu family's Patriarch is indeed quite capable, but he is basically in Anleji and rarely returns to Baiyuanji... If my guess is correct, he might come back with the people from Anleji this time."

Geng Xuan nodded and asked, "His house should have a passage leading directly underground, right?"

Hong Quan nodded and said, "Of course, there must be a force like his family, and it is very likely that there is more than one."

"Do you know where it is?" Geng Xuan asked.

Hong Quan was stunned for a moment and just shook his head.

Geng Xuan nodded, turned to look at Wang Xi beside him, and asked, "Have you chosen the people?"

Wang Xi nodded and said, "I have chosen everything."

"Let's go then."

As he spoke, Geng Xuan signaled to Hong Quan and Cheng Hui, asking them to follow.

When Xie Hang wanted to follow, he was frightened off by his eyes.

Xie Hang stammered as if he wanted to say something, but was pulled deeper into the convoy by Luo Qing and Teng Yu.

Geng Xuan turned around and moved the wooden board blocking the narrow path, then passed through the narrow path sideways.

Cheng Hui and Hong Quan followed closely behind, and Wang Xi led eight people closely behind.

After the last person passes, move the shading board back to its original position.

As soon as Wang Xi and the others got out of the narrow road, they pushed the last carriage that had been unloaded here when the convoy passed by and hurried forward. They soon caught up with Geng Xuan, Cheng Hui and Hong Quan in front of them.

There was nothing else in this cart except a corpse.

A car full of dead bodies.

The top three were Cao Duo, Wu Yue, and Zang Zigao. If they knew about this, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood.

This really makes people unable to rest in peace even after death.

In this short period of less than half a day, how many times have we gone back and forth? !
Fortunately, they were able to feel at ease soon.

Because Geng Xuan no longer planned to continue to take them with him, nor did he plan to abandon them in the wilderness at will.

Even the final place for them to be placed has been chosen for them.

Without the drag of the convoy, everyone's speed was significantly improved.

Soon, we returned to the underground tunnel network of Baiyuanji.

Geng Xuan went directly to the closest tunnel leading to the ground, which he had walked through during the first exploration.

When he was still some distance away from the stairs, Geng Xuan paused for a moment, then threw out a flying knife.

Soon, a cultivator hiding near the steps stopped breathing, bringing Geng Xuan fifteen points of good luck and one point of bad luck.

When he reached the steps, Geng Xuan squatted down and pulled out the flying knife from the corpse's forehead.

Said to Wang Xi and Cheng Hui, "You stay."

Then he carried Hong Quan and walked up the stairs.

Going up the stairs, Geng Xuan opened the wooden door in front of him and found himself standing in a closet.

The underground entrance is hidden inside a closet.

At the moment Geng Xuan opened the closet door, a man who was walking around the room with a bloody long knife suddenly turned his head, stepped back, and held the long knife across his body as a defensive gesture.

He even let out a creepy grin on purpose.

However, when he saw Geng Xuan carrying Hong Quan out of the closet, the grim smile on his face turned into astonishment: "You... who are you?"

As he spoke, he strode out of the house.

It’s a pity that no matter how fast he is, Geng Xuan’s flying knife is even faster.

Finally, he fell down two steps in front of the door.

[Capture the remaining energy, do you want to refine it? ]

"Yes."

Geng Xuan pulled the flying knife out of the man's forehead. As soon as he walked out of the room, he received a tip that he had gained 23 points of good luck and 2 points of bad luck.

When Geng Xuan walked out of the room, he saw a woman lying on the ground with two rapiers in her hands. She had been dead for a long time.

There was a horrific wound on her back from her left shoulder to her right waist, almost cutting her upper body in two, and blood was flowing all over the yard.

Add to that the man who sneaked into the underground through the passage but did not leave, but instead hid in the shadow of the stairs, ready to counterattack at any time, Geng Xuan had already imagined a lot of plots in his mind.

Geng Xuan was silent for two seconds, then he picked up Hong Quan and jumped onto the roof. When they reached the highest point of the roof, he whispered, "Can we see the Lu family from here?"

Hong Quan turned in a certain direction, took a look, and said, "Okay."

"Show it to me."

Hong Quan pointed forward and said, "Do you see those two sentry towers? They are on both sides of the main gate of the Lu Family Mansion. The courtyards next to them that are obviously higher than the surrounding buildings are also part of the Lu Family Mansion."

Geng Xuan stared at it for a few seconds, as if he wanted to remember it in his heart.

Then he asked, "Where is Baiyuan Pavilion?"

Although he had been to Baiyuan Pavilion once, he was still a little unsure because he was unfamiliar with the overall layout of Baiyuan Collection. Now that he had the chance, he certainly wanted to confirm it again.

Hong Quan turned around again, pointed in the completely opposite direction, and said:
"It's right there. See that big flagpole? That's where we usually practice and spar. It's just separated from Baiyuan Hall by a wall."

Geng Xuan nodded and was about to jump off the roof, but suddenly he had an idea and turned his head to look to the left.

I saw that in another house about a hundred steps away, a window that had been slightly cracked suddenly closed.

This reaction was considered very decisive, but Geng Xuan's amazing eyesight still allowed him to see a glimpse of a bright-eyed girl.

Geng Xuan smiled.

Suddenly, Hong Quan next to him glanced at him secretly with a worried look on his face. He said with a smile: "What are you worried about? Do you think I'm addicted to killing people?"

Not to mention how shocked Hong Quan was after hearing this.

Geng Xuan glanced around again and saw that the doors and windows of every household were closed and no one was looking over here, so he jumped down from the roof carrying Hong Quan.

——If there happened to be someone with a head that was too red, he wouldn't mind giving him a knife.

Return to the bedroom and re-enter the underground space through the passage hidden in the closet.

He said to Wang Xi, Cheng Hui and others who were waiting near the steps: "Let's go."

So Geng Xuan led the way again, followed closely by Hong Quan and Cheng Hui, while Wang Xun and others pushed the van full of corpses and followed closely at the end.

The group followed closely behind Geng Xuan, turning left and right in the tunnel for about a quarter of an hour, and stopped again in front of a staircase leading to the ground.

Geng Xuan said to Cheng Hui and Hong Quan, "Come with me."

He then instructed Wang Xi, "Wait a while before coming up."

After saying that, Geng Xuan walked up the stairs first.

Cheng Hui and Hong Quan, who had already realized what was going to happen, both had their hearts pounding.

But he still followed closely in the footsteps of the murderer in front.

But it's just one or two steps away.

When they walked out of a wide-open door, there were three bodies with their heads and bodies separated on the ground.

The door was wide open, and the murderer had already flashed into another room with a bloody sword in hand.

Then there were two more quick screams, and the murderer walked out of the room leisurely, holding the sword that was bleeding even more fiercely.

Slowly came to the gate of the courtyard.

After a while, people were attracted by the screams and rushed into the yard in twos and threes with knives and swords in hand to check the situation.

Then, Geng Xuan, who was guarding the yard, solved the problem quickly and efficiently, as if he was chopping melons and vegetables.

However, from time to time, someone would let out a shrill scream.

Cheng Hui and Hong Quan stared at the scene in astonishment. They both realized that the murderer had done it on purpose.

He deliberately used these people's screams as bait to actively attract those guys scattered around the Lu family.

"You said you have no addiction to killing people!" Hong Quan murmured in a low voice.

"What did you say?" Cheng Hui asked curiously.

"...Ah, nothing." Hong Quan said quickly.

Cheng Hui thought of something else and asked softly, "Why?"

"what why?"

"Why did he spare those two lives?"

Hong Quan said nothing and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

Cheng Hui didn't let him go and asked, "He said you know the reason!"

Hong Quan let out a long sigh and asked, "Do you know why the three of us didn't die?"

Cheng Hui didn't expect the boomerang to hit him. He swallowed nervously and asked, "Why... why?"

"Because we are kind." Hong Quan said expressionlessly.

Cheng Hui stared at Hong Quan with his eyes wide open, looking as if he wanted to eat someone.

"You play with me?"

Hong Quan was helpless and said, "Believe it or not... He told me this himself."

"So, those two people survived because of... kindness? Do you believe this?"

Cheng Hui still couldn't believe it.

Hong Quan sighed: "...Maybe, but it's not that bad."

"Follow."

At this moment, the murderer's voice entered their ears.

The man had already changed to a new sword and walked out of the yard.

Why go outside?

Because as too many baits were caught and died here, no one was stupid enough to move forward.

The two did not dare to stay and quickly followed him out of the yard.

Just as they slipped out of the hospital, another series of screams came from the corner ahead.

When they hurried over, they saw more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground.

Only two Lu family guards, whose faces were pale with fear, knelt in front of the bloody sword.
