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

Lu Xuan tilted his head to the side, narrowly avoiding the deadly arrow.

Seeing several more arrows coming, Lu Xuan flicked his wrist, and his long whip shot out like a venomous snake.

"Snapped!"

The long whip instantly knocked down the remaining incoming arrows.

"court death!"

Lu Xuan sensed that there was a person hiding at the end of the passage, and it was this person who kept shooting out cold arrows.

Lu Xuan roared and slammed his long whip against the wall.

Snapped.

Countless pieces of broken stone and bricks flew out, raising a large amount of dust.

The person at the end of the passage saw this scene and immediately knew something was wrong.

Just as he was about to take out the long sword beside him and confront Lu Xuan head-on.

But then a long whip, like a deadly rope, flew swiftly towards them.

Snapped!

The long whip lashed heavily across the other person's arm.

They snapped the entire arm off.

Whoosh!

The next moment, Lu Xuan's long whip swept out again, directly wrapping around the other person's neck.

"Well……"

Only then did the other party see Lu Xuan's figure emerge from the dust.

Unfortunately, Lu Xuan was wearing a mask, so his face couldn't be seen clearly, but Lu Xuan recognized this person.

This person is Huang Tianba's younger brother!

It was also the second master of the Huang family.

But Lu Xuan sensed that something was off about the aura emanating from the second master of the Huang family.

Looking further into the dungeon, one could see a set of medicine candles, and a young woman dressed in white was hanging upside down with a cut on her neck, blood dripping onto an incense burner in the center.

"Are you practicing evil magic?"

Upon seeing this, Lu Xuan immediately lowered his voice and asked.

Within a dynasty, where there is martial arts, there are naturally other unorthodox and heretical practices.

The method used by the second master of the Huang family in front of him is one that Lu Xuan knows. This method can only be found in the legendary Blood Mother Cult!

The Blood Mother Cult was a sect that the imperial court was cracking down on.

It is precisely because of these members of the Blood Mother Cult that they specifically abduct innocent young girls and mutilate their bodies to cultivate evil arts.

"Who are you...?"

The second master of the Huang family was struggling to breathe from being strangled by Lu Xuan's long whip, and at this moment he was also trying his best to tear off Lu Xuan's mask.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan did not hesitate and suddenly tightened his whip.

With a series of cracking sounds, the Second Master of the Huang family finally breathed his last.

Lu Xuan felt that this was still not safe, so he picked up the long knife on the ground and then chopped off the head of the second master of the Huang family.

Lu Xuan noticed that the second master of the Huang family was wearing a very unusual ring on his finger.

Through sensing the spiritual energy, a glint of light flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes.

"It's the legendary storage ring!"

Lu Xuan had seen this before; it was extremely valuable.

But this thing is very convenient, as it can retrieve things remotely.

He took off the ring and put it in his pocket.

After looking around to make sure no one else was there, he stepped forward, kicked over the incense burner on the ground, and lowered the girl who was hanging upside down.

"Help...help me..."

The girl was not yet unconscious; her pale, weak hands were tightly gripping Lu Xuan's sleeve.

In the darkest moment of her life, Lu Xuan was like a ray of light that rushed into her world and dispelled the darkness for her.

Lu Xuan looked at the girl.

The girl in front of me was fair-skinned and beautiful, with an air that was absolutely no less than that of any wealthy heiress.

That makes sense. The Blood Mistress Cult's core principle is to cultivate Blood Spirit Power by absorbing the blood of exceptional women like these, whose blood contains the purest power.

Lu Xuan tore off a strip of cloth and bandaged the girl's wound.

"You're alright now, don't worry, I'll take you out."

How could Lu Xuan stand by and watch someone die?

The girl in front of me, like Shen Yue, was a pitiful person who had been persecuted by the Huang family's tyranny.

Even he himself, without the appearance of the incense tree, would only become a lonely ghost under the persecution of the Huang family.

"Wait for me here."

Seeing that Lu Xuan was about to leave, the girl quickly used her last bit of strength to grab him, her eyes filled with longing.

But Lu Xuan simply handed the knife in his hand to the girl.

"I'll be back soon."

Saving lives is important, but even more important is the Huang family's treasure trove!

At this moment, Lu Xuan arrived in front of the wall, where there was a keyhole. Lu Xuan took out the key he had obtained from Huang Danian.

Huang Tianba remained very cautious.

He arranged for his younger brother to be stationed here.

Furthermore, the key was placed on Huang Danian's person. If it wasn't Huang Danian who came, then the second son of the Huang family would take action immediately, without asking any questions.

Fortunately, Huang Lao Er's strength was average, and he couldn't kill Lu Xuan.

Of course, this was also because Lu Xuan had already taken precautions.

Huang Lao Er practices evil arts in this underground secret chamber, and naturally, he cannot be seen by others. It seems that not many people know this secret.

Even Lu Xuan was unaware that the Huang family was actually connected to the Blood Mother Cult.

Insert the key, and you'll hear a few clicks of gears engaging. Then, with a gentle turn, the stone door opens slowly with a bang.

However, this secret room did not contain gold, silver, or jewels.

Instead, they were stones only the size of a thumb, emitting a faint glow.

"These are..."

"Spirit Stones!"

Lu Xuan sensed the rich spiritual energy emanating from these spirit stones.

His face lit up with unbridled joy!

These spirit stones are truly rare and hard to come by. Usually, they only circulate within a high-level martial arts circle, and ordinary people simply cannot buy them.

Martial artists can enhance their spiritual power by directly absorbing the power from spirit stones.

Even if you were to buy it, this spirit stone would cost at least a thousand taels of silver.

At this moment, Lu Xuan had a total of twenty spirit stones in front of him!

If these spirit stones were taken out and sold, they could easily fetch 20,000 taels of silver.

"These spirit stones are probably not for their own cultivation."

"Since this second master of the Huang family cultivates the techniques of the Blood Mother Sect, it means that the Huang family has some connection with the Blood Mother Sect. These spirit stones may have been prepared for the people of the Blood Mother Sect."

Lu Xuan gritted his teeth slightly.

No one knows that he did all of this tonight.

Only that woman!

This is his only weakness.

As long as that girl is killed, the Huang family will never be able to trace him back to.

But if he does that, how is he any different from those scoundrels from the Huang family?

Lu Xuan sighed inwardly.

He can be ruthless when dealing with enemies.

But how could Lu Xuan bring himself to harm such a delicate, defenseless young girl?

Lu Xuan also put the twenty spirit stones in front of him into his pocket.

There were no other valuables in the secret room.

As for the golden key, Lu Xuan pulled it out. After he got out, he planned to melt it down into a gold nugget and then exchange it for money.

"Girl, I'll take you out."

Lu Xuan arrived in front of the girl.

At this moment, the girl had regained some of her senses.

When she saw Lu Xuan return, there was obvious surprise in the girl's eyes. She clearly did not expect that Lu Xuan would come back to save her.

In fact, she felt that Lu Xuan should have just killed her.

"Thank you, senior, for sparing my life."

The girl's throat was dry, and she managed to make a weak sound.

Lu Xuan was taken aback.

This girl is quite intelligent; she was able to see through his previous struggles.

It's likely that the girl was prepared to be silenced.

I don't think you'll disappoint me.

Lu Xuan said calmly.

"Senior saved my life today, and I am willing to follow you to the death from this day forward!"

"I aspire to be a sharp blade in the hands of my seniors!"

"I...I have a talent for martial arts!"

The girl struggled to her feet and actually knelt down before Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan then noticed that the girl's neck injury seemed to be healing quite well.

Given her rapid recovery ability, it's clear that the girl possesses exceptional talent in cultivation.

Right.

The Blood Mistress Cult wouldn't just capture ordinary girls. So it seems that the girl in front of us was targeted precisely because of her talent.

Don't you want to go back to your family?

Looking at the girl in front of him, Lu Xuan also had selfish thoughts.

After all, he already had a lineage of worshippers.

If one can establish a family line and have children, then the chances of surviving in this world will be much greater.

When talking about family.

The girl's eyes dimmed.

At the same time, it seemed to contain a boundless sea of ​​blood and killing intent.

He said through gritted teeth.

"My family was all killed by them..."

"Please take me in, senior!"

Lu Xuan sighed softly.

"Do you... know the price involved?"

Lu Xuan asked.

He thought the girl would hesitate, but to his surprise, she raised her head and looked at Lu Xuan with a resolute gaze, as if she had already made up her mind.

"If it weren't for your intervention, senior, I would be dead. From this day forward, everything I have belongs to you."

"What's your name?"

Lu Xuan sighed inwardly. This girl was no simple person either, but fortunately he had saved her. He would just have to take it one step at a time.

My name is Liu Qingxue.

"Okay, come with me."

Lu Xuan nodded.

Then, he took Liu Qingxue and left through the secret passage.

The soundproofing in this underground chamber is excellent. After all, it's a place for Huang Lao Er to practice his evil arts, so there can't be too much noise, and no one else can get close.

Unfortunately, that's what happened.

Several guards patrolling the mansion arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall and, surprisingly, squatted down and started playing cards with the other guards at the ancestral hall. After all, what could possibly happen in the middle of the night? It's not like we're in the inner palace; there's no such strict discipline here.

Liu Qingxue, wrapped in her clothes, followed behind Lu Xuan.

If it were just Lu Xuan alone, he could easily use the Snake Step to leap over walls and escape, but this time he had Liu Qingxue with him.

"Got it."

Lu Xuan looked around and then his gaze fell on the ancestral tablets of the Huang family. He immediately picked up Liu Qingxue and carried her around the waist.

It feels smooth and soft to the touch.

Girls from wealthy families naturally have supple and radiant skin.

It's more delicate than Shen Yue's.

Then Lu Xuan leaped onto the crossbeam and placed Liu Qingxue on it.

"Wait for me here."

Liu Qingxue nodded obediently, and at this moment, she was lying alone on the beam, feeling extremely nervous.

Then, Lu Xuan set fire to the ancestral tablets of the Huang family, adding fuel to the fire throughout the ancestral hall.

"Fire! Fire!"

"The ancestral hall is on fire! Come quickly and put it out!"

The guards who were playing cards at the entrance were suddenly terrified and immediately began frantically calling for help to put out the fire.

Looking at the burning flames, Lu Xuan felt extremely pleased.

"With power, one can indeed do whatever one wants."

Lu Xuan thought to himself, then picked up Liu Qingxue and, amidst the chaos, crashed through the roof and fled.

The fire wasn't extinguished until dawn.

Unfortunately, most of the ancestral hall was burned down.

The ancestral tablets of the Huang family's youngest ancestor were all burned to ashes.

When the First Madam arrived at the ancestral hall and saw this scene, she let out a wail.

"What a tragedy..."

He then fell into a coma.

Lu Xuan first took Liu Qingxue to the stable.

After all, a lot has happened tonight. If Lu Xuan leaves rashly, he might get caught and it would be hard to explain.

The stables themselves are rarely visited.

Furthermore, the area where the feed was stored was actually quite large, and could be used as a hiding place.

Even the feed warehouse is bigger than Lu Xuan's house.

Liu Qingxue never expected that Lu Xuan was hiding in the Huang family; he was truly skilled and daring.

"You should rest here and not wander around."

Lu Xuan gave instructions.

Liu Qingxue nodded obediently.

The Huang family has been plagued by misfortunes one after another.

The ancestral hall was set on fire and burned down.

The butler, Huang Danian, was also found dead in Hongliu Lane.

The servants who had brought Huang Danian originally wanted to wait for him to return home after they finished their business, but Huang Danian did not come out for a long time, so they simply kept waiting. As dawn approached, they could no longer wait and had to return home, so they went up to knock on the door.

It turned out that Huang Danian had already passed away.

The first wife, who was already ill in bed, almost couldn't catch her breath. Fortunately, they found an old doctor in town who gave her several acupuncture treatments, which finally brought her back to consciousness.

Unfortunately, there was something wrong with the cellar under the ancestral hall, and the First Madam didn't dare to report it to the authorities. So the matter had to be put on hold for the time being, and they would discuss it when the Master returned.

As for Lu Xuan, no one would doubt him at all.

After all, Lu Xuan was just an old groom over seventy years old. Who would have thought that such a shocking case was committed by Lu Xuan?

The entire Huang family was in turmoil.

Lu Xuan's place, on the other hand, became much quieter.

Nobody had the leisure to come here looking for trouble.

Two days later.

After Lu Xuan absorbed the fifth spirit stone.

I finally felt that my strength had reached a whole new level at this moment.

It's located in Lu Xuan's dantian.

A small cyclone is also forming.

This is precisely the fusion of one's own physical strength and spiritual power.

"His strength is 1,500 jin!"

"We've entered the realm of Oneness!"

Not only that.

In the past few days, Lu Xuan has made some minor improvements to the basic Qi-inducing technique based on his own comprehension.

The level of the basic Qi-inducing technique has now been raised to the middle grade of the Yellow Rank!

Whether it's the absorption of spiritual energy or its circulation and release, it's much more powerful.

"I can try using my spiritual energy to erase the mark on this storage ring!"

Lu Xuan took out the storage ring he had previously obtained from the Huang family elder.

The ring bears a seal that can only be broken by spiritual power.
