Under One Person, the system says I'm the Pirate King.

Lu Gong was torn. On one hand, he longed for Lu Liang to be punished so that his life could return to normal. On the other hand, he was afraid that his younger brother would really be tortured by his great-grandfather.

From within the dungeon came Lü Ci's emotionless voice: "Come in."

Lü Zhong led the way, pushing open the heavy iron gate, with Lü Xiao and Lü Ping following closely behind.

Lu Gong, who was left behind, could see the situation inside the half-open iron gate.

His great-grandfather held a curved knife that was dripping blood.

The entire ground reflected a dark red hue under the moonlight.

There were also severed arms, legs, and even a tongue scattered in the pool of blood.

Leaning against the corner of the wall was Lü Liang, who had already lost consciousness with his eyes rolled back and had become a "human stick".

Upon seeing this, Lü Gong didn't even dare to go in; his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

The stench of blood seeping into the air from the dungeon kept piercing his nostrils, making his stomach feel as if it were being violently churned. He immediately knelt on the ground and vomited.

"Call the village doctor. I want him alive. Every drop of blood from the Lü family is precious."

With a hint of murderous intent, Lü Ci finished speaking to Lü Xiao.

He then looked at Lü Zhong and said, "Come to my room later."

Then, he walked towards Lü Gong, knife in hand:

"Forget everything you saw today, focus on your cultivation, and come with me to Longhu Mountain in a week to participate in the Luotian Grand Ceremony."

The drops of blood dripping from the knife in his hand struck Lü Gong's heart like heavy stones.

One, two...

Frightened, Lü Gong tried his best to suppress the urge to vomit, and dared not even vomit anymore.

"Yes...yes!"

The reason why Lü Ci waited half a month to see Lü Liang was that...

Actually, it was all because recently, under the pretext of going to the Wang family, he went alone to the place where Duanmu Ying's hometown was located, and investigated the descendants of the couple who might have had problems with the human experiments that Duanmu Ying conducted back then.

Finally, they went to Northeast China and had someone thoroughly investigate Qin Lang's information again.

He needed to confirm that this guy named Qin Lang had nothing to do with what happened back then.

He naturally wouldn't tell anyone else about these things.

It's not convenient to delegate the task to others, so I have to do it myself.

That's why it took so long.

Although when Lü Liang was captured, Lü Zhong told him that Lü Liang and Qin Lang had met.

But he felt that as long as he captured Lü Liang, everything would still be under control.

Obtaining the intelligence behind the scenes is the most important thing.

However, after several days of investigation, he found no clues about what happened back then.

Furthermore, no connection was found between Duanmu Ying and this boy named Qin Lang.

In fact, according to the information he found, this Qin Lang had no connection with the supernatural beings at all.

Therefore, he felt relieved for the time being and returned to Lüjia Village.

But as soon as he returned, he heard from Lü Zhong that Lü Liang refused to budge and insisted on seeing him.

He had a bad feeling.

Therefore, he hurriedly met with Lü Liang.

At that time, in the dimly lit dungeon, Lü Liang was bound hand and foot.

His whole body was covered in wounds.

Upon seeing Lü Ci, he instinctively cried out, "Grandpa..."

"I've been busy with some business at the Wang family recently, and your great-grandfather told me you'd like to see me?"

Upon seeing Lü Ci, Lü Liang felt uneasy. He didn't believe Qin Lang's words, and now was the time to prove it to his grandfather. He composed himself and asked:

"Grandpa, do you know that I'm not the murderer who killed Xiao Huan?"

Why do you say that?

"Looking back now, if you hadn't intentionally let me go the first time I left the Lü family, how could I have left?"

"Hmph, so that's why you insist you didn't kill Xiao Huan?"

"It definitely wasn't me! You should know that!!"

"I know?

How would I know?

The fact that you can tell it was me who let you go shows you're not stupid.

But have you ever considered that that was an opportunity I gave you? Since you didn't kill him, why don't you investigate the real culprit?

And what did you do?

He hangs out with those bastards from Quanxing every day and has completely ignored the cause of his sister's death!

I kept him confined in the village; he wants to go crazy as soon as he goes outside!

If it weren't for the fact that you have the blood of the Lü family, I would have killed you long ago!

Everyone knows I'm ruthless, a mad dog.

But there is something I value, and that is the bloodline of the Lü family.

Even if you're a bastard like that, I don't want you to actually kill Xiao Huan.

Is that really the case?

"Huh? You're not convinced?"

"Grandpa, where were you when Xiao Huan died?"

It was only then that Lü Ci realized what was going on.

He had originally intended to let Lü Liang off the hook, but upon hearing this question, he could no longer remain seated:

"Are you doubting me?"

"No, I asked precisely because I trust you, and I hope you can tell me."

Where were you when Xiao Huan died?

"Hmph, since when did it become your turn to interrogate this old man!?"

"Then let me ask you another question, sir. Who is buried in that grave at the village entrance without a tombstone? Where did that person's two perfect hands go?"

When Lü Ci heard this question, it was like a thunderbolt striking him.

His face instantly turned gloomy.

After a long while, he looked up at Lü Liang:

"Who told you to ask that? Was it that kid named Qin Lang?"

Once Lü Liang asked the question, he had basically revealed his hand.

Lü Ci also realized that Lü Liang suspected him.

The one who started it all was that kid named Qin Lang.

A conspiracy! It's definitely a conspiracy! This brat wants to harm my Lü family!

He knew that his investigation into Qin Lang these past few days had been in vain.

He is currently at the Lu family's residence.

Should I really break into the Lu family home and demand someone's return?

Or is it that Lu Jin is behind all this?

In Lü Ci's mind, Lu Jin had always been a clean guy that was impossible to work with.

But given the current situation, he couldn't help but start to doubt even Lu Jin.

After all, how much ability could a child have, and how did he know about the Lü family's affairs?

Moreover, he was puzzled by the cause of Lü Huan's death.

All he knew was that Lü Huan had come to see him before he died, saying he wanted to move out of the village.

He slapped her because he disagreed.

Then I heard the news of her death.

As the junior with the highest talent in the Minghun Technique, Lü Huan's death was more painful for Lü Ci than for anyone else.

Now, the thought that someone might use this incident to their advantage and try to harm his Lü family fills him with rage.

I'm always the one who's like a mad dog biting others; when did it become someone else's turn to shit on my head?

But just as he was thinking...

Lü Liang, however, continued to ask with a gloomy expression:

"Grandpa, why aren't you answering?!"

Please tell me, everything Qin Lang said is a lie!

You said you didn't want me to be the murderer who killed Xiao Huan.

I don't want you to be like that either!

"You've been fooled by that kid!! Xiao Huan's death has nothing to do with me! Tell me, how much do you know about the Dual-Handed Technique!!? What else did that kid tell you!!"

"Hehe, Dual-wielding expert, you really knew..."

"Since you didn't kill Xiao Huan, let me see your memories!"

Snapped! !

Upon hearing that Lü Liang still wanted to see his memories, Lü Ci could no longer restrain himself and immediately took action.

Now, from the moment Lü Liang uttered the words "Dual-Handed Technique," he was destined never to be released.

But we certainly can't let him continue like this now.

Thus began a one-sided slaughter.

This is why Qin Lang gradually gained favorability points.

It was because Lü Liang gradually realized from Lü Ci's attitude that what Qin Lang said was true.

Trust in Qin Lang was gradually built up through repeated conversations with Lü Ci.
