I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

Night falls at the Huang family residence.

Although some previous events had plunged the Huang family into a certain vortex, coupled with the situation of Master Huang, Huang Tianba.

The entire Huang family was filled with a sense of unease.

There's nothing I can do about it, even though I'm not happy about it.

However, the First Madam still summoned her family members.

As for the First Madam's background, it is quite impressive.

He was a member of the Mu family, one of the four major families in Jinyuan City.

Her father was the previous head of the Mu family, while the current head of the Mu family is the eldest wife's older brother.

This time, the First Madam sought help from her maternal family.

A group of people was quickly dispatched to stabilize the situation.

The scale of Jinyuan City is more than ten times that of Wuling County.

The reason why the Huang family has such a status in Wuling County is precisely because of the Mu family behind them.

However, Huang Tianba has done quite well over the years and has achieved some success.

Even the Mu family cannot be underestimated.

This time, among the people sent by the Mu family was the First Madam's younger brother, who was also Huang Tianba's brother-in-law.

Mu Yuanji.

The Mu family stepped in to resolve the matter of losing Liu Qingxue, paying a huge price to quell the situation and prevent the sect leader from blaming them.

"I've already been to my brother-in-law's place, Second Sister, don't worry. It's just that the injury was a little more serious, but it's been temporarily suppressed."

"However, we still need to take the matter of your men being killed earlier seriously. As far as I know, that Nightingale was just a petty thief and could not possibly have the strength to kill Tan Weiquan."

In the Huang family.

Mu Yuanji said to his sister.

"Oh, that's good. I don't know what's been going on lately, one thing after another has happened..."

"By the way, have you found Xuyang?"

Madam Mu was still worried about her son. She hadn't seen him for so many days. She should have heard something about whether he was alive or dead, but after searching for so long, there was still no sign of him.

"I've already sent people to look for it; we should find it soon."

"As for that old stableman you mentioned before... is he truly without any problems?"

Mu Yuanji said, while also raising his own questions.

Although Lu Xuan seemed to have no problems, the fact that there were no problems was the biggest problem, and Mu Yuanji couldn't help but have doubts.

"What problems could that old man, who's almost dead, possibly have? I just want this old man to utterly humiliate Lao Huang's first love. That'll make me feel better. I left my hometown for him and have lived in this place for decades, and he treats me like this..."

The First Madam could only confide in her younger brother that if it weren't for saving face for Huang Tianba and for her son Huang Xuyang, she would have left long ago.

"Alright, Second Sister, don't be sad. Whatever it is, Big Brother and I will stand up for you."

"Sigh, all I want to do right now is find Xuyang, I don't want anything else..."

The First Madam sighed.

Just as he finished speaking, a shout suddenly came from outside.

"Found it!"

"Third Master, we've found Young Master Huang, he is..."

A guard from the Mu family arrived, looking somewhat evasive, clearly indicating that the situation was not good.

"Found him? Where is my son? How is he?!"

The First Madam immediately stood up.

"He...is not doing well..."

The Mu family guards didn't know how to explain this.

Not good?

"Just tell the truth."

Mu Yuanji said with a frown.

"Yes, Young Master Huang is rotting."

"It's right outside the stable, in that patch of wild woodland."

boom!

The First Madam felt as if a thunderbolt had struck her head.

In that instant.

Only two words echoed in her mind.

It's rotten...

My son is rotten!?

How could such a perfectly good person have fallen apart like this?

I was stunned for a long time.

The First Madam then resolutely stood up.

His face was unusually pale, but he was barely holding on.

"take me."

A maid from the Huang family came over and helped the First Madam walk forward.

Mu Yuanji also gave the Mu family guard a reproachful look.

"You idiot, couldn't you just say he's dead? Why did you have to say it so over and over again!"

The Mu family guards also looked aggrieved. "Didn't you say to tell the truth?"

Mu Yuanji did not show much emotional reaction to Huang Xuyang's death.

He never took this good-for-nothing nephew seriously.

However, the fact that he died right near the stables made Mu Yuanji begin to have new doubts about Lu Xuan, but he decided to wait until he saw Huang Xuyang's body before making any decisions.

When Huang Xuyang's body was pulled from the ravine, the First Madam fainted upon seeing it. How could her perfectly healthy son have turned into such a state?

Seeing the heartbroken First Madam, Mu Yuanji could only order that she be taken back first.

"Go to Mingyue Manor and call Huang Tianba back."

Mu Yuanji summoned one of his men.

Mu Yuanji had some suspicions about Lu Xuan, but Wuling County was not Mu's territory after all. If it came to connections, Huang Tianba was the one who could act faster in Wuling County.

Otherwise, with the few people he brought, it would be incredibly difficult to find an old man in such a vast county as Wuling.

"yes!"

One of the Mu family guards immediately mounted a fast horse from the stable and galloped off towards Mingyue Manor.

Tatata!

Lu Xuan was currently traveling along the mountain path, and he also took the opportunity to practice his Snake Step.

His target was Mingyue Manor.

Taking advantage of Huang Tianba's injury and his isolation outside Mingyue Manor, when he was helpless and had no one to turn to, this was the best opportunity to strike.

After killing Huang Tianba.

Then the remaining Huang family members would be a disorganized mess.

Lu Xuan didn't even need to lift a finger; the other families could have wiped the Huang family out of the water.

All he needs to do is secretly stir things up and kill a few important figures, then he can basically escape unscathed.

The reason for doing it so discreetly.

It was precisely because Lu Xuan knew that the First Madam's family was not simple.

Not only that, there is also a Blood Cult lurking in the shadows.

If you're in a hurry to stand out, you're just asking for trouble.

Unless Lu Xuan now possesses a third-grade martial arts cultivation level, it's best to keep a low profile and be cautious.

Suddenly, Lu Xuan, who was walking forward, heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him.

Lu Xuan has been raising horses in the Huang family for so many years.

It's easy to tell whether a horse belongs to the Huang family.

The horse behind them was clearly from the Huang family!

"The Huang family's horse!?"

"Could something have happened?"

Lu Xuan hid in the jungle, and soon saw a figure riding a Huang family horse galloping past.

"Looks like they're going to tip someone off or something."

"Let's stop them first!"

Immediately, Lu Xuan whistled.

The horse carrying the Mu family guard suddenly stopped, sending the guard flying and crashing heavily to the ground.

Bang!

"Ouch!"

"That damned beast!"

The Mu family guard's eyes turned cold, and he was about to teach the horse a lesson, but the next moment he saw an old figure slowly walking towards him from the jungle.

"Who is it?"

The Mu family guards tried to get a clear look at Lu Xuan's appearance by the moonlight.

But then a cold light suddenly pierced out of the darkness.

By the time the chains on the cold light were clearly visible, it was already too late.

With a whoosh.

His neck was bound by Lu Xuan's chains.

He gripped the chains with both hands, struggling to breathe.

But the next moment, Lu Xuan grabbed him and threw him to the ground.

"You only have one sentence to save your life."

"What message are you going to deliver to Mingyue Manor?"

Lu Xuan looked down at the Mu family guard, the indifferent killing intent in his eyes sending chills down the guard's spine.

This is the kind of look that could kill at the slightest provocation.

"My third master asked me to go and inform Huang Tianba... that his son has died."

The Mu family guards quickly replied.

"Your third master?"

"Who are you from?"

Lu Xuan was secretly surprised when he heard this news.

It appears that Huang Xuyang's body has been found.

If he is found, the First Madam will definitely suspect him.

It was only a matter of time before he turned on himself.

Therefore, I also need to move faster.

But the problem is, this so-called Third Master has caught Lu Xuan's attention.

"I am a member of the Mu family of Jinyuan City, and Third Master is the Third Master of the Mu family."

The Mu family of Jinyuan City!

Lu Xuan understood now; no wonder the First Madam was so arrogant, even Master Huang was suppressed by her.

Although Lu Xuan knew that the First Madam's family was very powerful, he didn't know the specifics. After all, in the servants' circle, all sorts of rumors circulated wildly.

There is no definite answer.

Now it has been implemented.

The Mu family of Jinyuan City.

"What is the strength of this Third Master Mu of yours?"

When this crucial information was mentioned, the Mu family guard hesitated for a moment.

You can feel the cold chains wrapped around your neck.

The Mu family guards quickly added.

"Second rank... Third Master Mu is at the initial stage of the second rank..."

Click!

After the other party finished speaking, Lu Xuan immediately released his true energy and snapped the neck of the Mu family guard.

After searching around, it was discovered that the Mu family guard only had five taels of silver on him.

Even so, these five taels of silver were more than what many servants and guards in Wuling County would earn.

How could a mere guard from the Mu family carry so much silver?

This is also enough to prove that the Mu family was well-off.

"If that Third Master Mu is really only at the early stage of the second rank, I should be able to handle him with my strength."

"Jinyuan City is far from Wuling County, so it won't be easy for them to provide support. Moreover, such a cross-regional operation is extremely risky for the Mu family. I still have time."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

With the assistance of Shen Yue and the other two in their cultivation, and when Shen Yue's fetus grows to the first month and gives birth to the second spiritual leaf, it will also bring them great benefits.

In this way, Lu Xuan will make even greater progress.

That way, dealing with it will be much easier.

"Never mind, let's take them one at a time."

Thinking too much won't do Lu Xuan any good.

It's better to take it one step at a time.

After glancing at the clothes of the Mu family guard, Lu Xuan had an idea. He stripped off the guard's clothes and put them on himself, then took out the Mu family guard's identity token and hung it on his waist.

Lu Xuan pulled the Huang family's horse back, flipped himself onto the horse's back, and squeezed the horse's belly with his legs.

"drive!"

The horse neighed and carried Lu Xuan towards Bright Moon Manor.

Mingyue Villa is only ten miles away from Wuling County.

Lu Xuan even robbed people on the way, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the foot of Mingyue Mountain.

Huang Tianba had indeed arranged for men to guard the area around Mingyue Mountain.

Although almost all of Huang's family's guards were killed by Lu Xuan.

However, with Huang Tianba's wealth, he could always find people to work for him.

These men protecting the mountain villa were originally a bandit gang from the surrounding area, but now they've taken on the role of guards.

There is a roadblock blocking the way up the mountain ahead.

"Halt! Who goes there!"

Two bandits blocked Lu Xuan's path.

"Mu family guards, we have important news to report to Master Huang."

Lu Xuan tossed the identity token in his hand out.

The Mu family had just visited a few days ago, and they were familiar with the clothes the man was wearing. After checking the token and confirming that it was genuine, they returned it to Lu Xuan.

They then opened the roadblocks, allowing Lu Xuan to go directly up the mountain.

What could these bandits possibly know?

However, one of them felt somewhat envious.

"The Mu family seems to offer really good benefits. Even at such an advanced age, they can still serve as guards there."

"Yeah, it's practically a guaranteed job."

The two were filled with envy.

Those of them who became bandits were able to have a few years of good food.

When they get older and can't even lift a knife anymore, they can only go to the back to work in logistics, barely making ends meet.

"However, when the third master of the Mu family came last time, I noticed that there didn't seem to be any guards this old."

One of them expressed his doubt.

"Who cares? Who knows what kind of connections they have? As long as the brand is right and the clothes are right, the rest is none of our business."

The old bandit who had previously lamented about the secure job now had the glint of shrewdness slowly fade from his eyes.

That makes sense.

Although Lu Xuan was riding a horse up the mountain, his attention was still focused on the two bandits guarding the mountain.

If these two were to tip off each other, he would surely turn around and eliminate them.

It seems these two are quite astute.

Immediately, Lu Xuan used the token in his hand to rush to the Bright Moon Manor built halfway up the mountain.

Before arriving at the villa, it was clear that there were more guards, and the security was much tighter. There were even archers lying in ambush around the rooftops.

However, the archers' skills were only average.

Even among all the top experts in the entire gang, there are very few who have reached the highest level.

Most of them are in the Unity Realm.

Some are only at the Blood Tempering Realm and Body Tempering Realm.

For ordinary people, learning martial arts is not an easy thing.

To break through is even more difficult.

"Huang Tianba is really afraid of death, he actually found so many people to protect him."

Lu Xuan muttered to himself.

When they reached the last checkpoint, it was right in front of the dormitory where Huang Tianba was resting.

A tall man in a dark red robe reached out and stopped him.

"You're a guard from the Mu family? What's your name? I don't remember ever seeing you before."

The man in the red robe pulled out a notebook from behind his back.

His eyes held a hint of doubt.

Just as I was about to flip through the notebook in my hand.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp aura piercing towards him.

The man in the red robe was no ordinary fighter either. Sensing Lu Xuan's attack, he immediately reached out his palm to meet it.

But ultimately, the speed was too slow.

Lu Xuan had already pierced the other man's chin with a single stab.

The sharp blade pierced through it from bottom to top.

"bass!"

Lu Xuan also spun around once, then pulled out the knife and plunged it into the other man's chest.

"Hmm!"

The man in red had only two hands; it was unclear whether he should cover his chest or his chin.

In the end, he simply collapsed to the ground with a thud.

However, this scene was eventually spotted by the archers on the rooftop not far away.

"Enemy attack!"

A loud shout startled everyone in the entire Bright Moon Manor.

Lu Xuan was not flustered; he had already made preparations to unleash a massacre.

But it wasn't indiscriminate killing.

Instead, it's about accurately targeting the objective.

Ahead lies the place where Huang Tianba was healing!
