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

Lu Xuan and his two companions rode at full speed, but nearly two hours later, they rushed into a grove of yellow apricot leaves ahead.

However, it was obvious that there were significantly more people rushing together.

"Mr. Lu, we're being watched!"

Lin Haichao sensed a figure not far away, and a look of seriousness appeared in his eyes.

"Hmm... two in front, three on the right, and five following behind."

Lu Xuan, mounted on his horse, seemed a little slow-witted, and used his fingers to do some calculations.

"There are eleven in total."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiao's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

"Senior, why are there eleven? Shouldn't there be ten?"

"Oh, I forgot to mention, there's one on top of our heads."

Lu Xuan pointed.

Lin Qiao immediately looked up.

The next moment, a person dressed in a yellow robe descended from the sky.

A large sword wielded in his hand.

He suddenly slashed the ground with his sword, and a loud boom resounded from the ground.

There was also a knife mark on the ground.

Lu Xuan and the other two quickly tightened the reins.

Fortunately, Lu Xuan reminded them; otherwise, Lin Qiao and Lin Haichao would not have been able to react in time.

Just as the three of them stopped.

The enemies, attacking from both sides, had completely surrounded Lu Xuan and his companions.

And he rode his horse and ran in circles around the three of them.

Everyone waved the ropes in their hands, creating a very impressive display.

For a moment, Lin Qiao's face also showed a look of panic.

This group was clearly quite fierce, not only skilled in horsemanship but also very tactical.

The horses of Lu Xuan and the other two were just circling around in place.

The next moment, the surrounding bandits also threw out the ropes in their hands and put them around the heads of Lu Xuan and the other two.

Whoosh!

Just as the other party threw out the rope.

Lu Xuan also leaped up and picked up Lin Qiao from the side.

He flipped over and dodged to the side.

As for Lin Haichao, he jumped off his horse and rolled on the ground several times before escaping from the series of ropes.

Lin Haichao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Qiao had been rescued by Lu Xuan.

Faced with the attacks from those around him, Lin Haichao did not sit idly by and wait for his doom.

He channeled his inner energy and charged towards one of the bandits.

Bang!

Lin Haichao unleashed a palm strike, directly knocking over a bandit and his horse.

But then a series of ropes flew towards Lin Haichao, trapping him.

Furthermore, the chains were also wrapped with some extremely sharp iron pieces.

If Lin Haichao hadn't possessed true qi to protect him...

It will probably be cut beyond recognition by the blade very soon.

"Senior Lu...please, save my father!"

Seeing her father in such a disheveled state, Lin Qiao immediately burst into tears and begged.

Lu Xuan embraced Lin Qiao's young and delicate body.

My heart was also filled with a sense of turmoil.

Lin Qiao didn't have many other thoughts either.

"Stay here and don't move."

Lu Xuan placed Lin Qiao on the tree trunk.

This place is about ten zhang above the ground.

Even most people would find it quite frightening.

Lin Qiao was, after all, a first-rank martial artist, and upon hearing Lu Xuan's words, she obediently nodded.

Immediately, two figures on the ground rushed towards Lin Qiao's direction.

Just then, Lu Xuan was looking down from above.

He also slammed down with a palm strike as the two men charged at him.

Boom! Boom!

Immediately, the two men's bones and internal organs were shattered on the spot.

"Bang!"

The two bodies slammed heavily onto the ground.

As the two corpses fell to the ground, Lu Xuan's figure also landed quickly, facing the people in front of him, and pointed out several times with his fingers.

Then, one after another, figures fell off their horses.

He casually grabbed one of the men's riding whips and then lashed it at the others.

Snapped!

The long whip was lashed out and swiftly struck one person.

He immediately sent the opponent flying.

Lin Qiao, who was in the tree, saw Lu Xuan below, wielding the long whip with surprising skill.

I was immediately startled.

A figure seemed to be rapidly overlapping with Lu Xuan's appearance in her mind.

"How could this be... Could it be...?"

"Senior Lu is the same as Senior Wuming..."

Lin Qiao's eyes were filled with shock.

He quickly recalled everything that had happened before.

Such a high level of cultivation.

In addition, there's his old-fashioned and experienced style.

Indeed, he was remarkably similar to that nameless predecessor.

Lin Qiao's heart pounded violently at that moment. Although Lu Xuan was a bit old, for a martial artist, especially a powerful one, that was nothing.

At this moment, Lin Qiao's surprise at discovering Lu Xuan's identity outweighed her worry for her father.

Lin Qiao glanced over and saw that Lin Haichao was being dragged on the ground with a rope. Just as Lin Qiao was worried, Lu Xuan cut the rope.

In the blink of an eye, everyone was killed by Lu Xuan.

Only the last person, the one who was dragging Lin Haichao with a rope, had his throat locked by Lu Xuan's horsewhip.

They simply dragged the person to the ground.

With a thud, the leader fell directly in front of Lu Xuan.

The surrounding horses panicked and ran wildly in all directions.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan put his thumb and forefinger into his mouth and whistled.

Surprisingly, all the horses stopped at this moment and slowly walked to the side to graze quietly.

Lin Haichao removed the rope from his neck.

There are many small scars on his neck.

Seeing that the bandits around him had all been killed by Lu Xuan, and that even the horses had been tamed by him, Lin Haichao was shocked.

That's a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it?

Lu Xuan not only killed everyone, but also arranged for their horses to be killed.

"Tell me, who is your master?"

Lu Xuan loosened the whip, allowing the other to catch his breath.

The man was almost strangled to death by Lu Xuan. The whip was imbued with Lu Xuan's true energy, and no matter how the man pulled, he could not tear the whip off, which shocked him greatly.

Looking back now, Shenlai's gaze towards Lu Xuan also held a hint of fear.

Why is it different from what was said in the intelligence?

Didn't that person say there was only one high-level first-rank martial artist here?

The other two are useless.

How come the "trash" he mentioned has become so powerful?

"No...don't kill me..."

"Senior, please give me a chance..."

"I'll tell you anything you want to know, just don't kill me..."

The man in yellow knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan couldn't bear to look; these people always used the same old tricks.

Knowing they were going to die, each one became more devout than the last.

"Fine, tell me everything, and I won't kill you."

"I swear on my life."

Lu Xuan said calmly.

When you hear an old man swearing an oath with his own life, how could it be false?

"We're from the Yellow Sand Gang... Our leader took a job and asked us to do something for the Bai family, the Bai family in Wuling County... He gave the order to kill you before you return to Wuling County..."

"This job was taken on by our gang leader. I didn't know anything about it. I didn't mean to offend my seniors."

The man in yellow had a mournful face.

He has a cultivation level of the first stage of the second rank.

But at this moment, he was like a dead dog, pinned to the ground by Lu Xuan.

"It's the Yellow Sand Gang again."

Lu Xuan frowned slightly when he heard the name.

"Don't you people from Huangsha City usually prefer to stay in the city? Why are you all rushing out in large numbers now?"

Lu Xuan asked.

The man in yellow also had a bitter expression on his face.

"I don't know either... We all just followed the gang leader's orders. He said there was meat to eat outside, so we all came..."

Seemingly noticing Lu Xuan's suspicious gaze, the man in yellow repeatedly swore an oath.

"Senior, what I said is true, absolutely true!"

"Not a single word is false!"

It's the Bai family again, and the Huangsha Gang again.

A hint of anger flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes.

These lousy things just keep going on and on.

The Bai family was just arranging a marriage with Lin Haichao, and now they're going to kill him?

Could he be mentally challenged?

If Lu Xuan weren't here, Lin Haichao would have died again.

But if this happens, Lu Xuan will be dragged into the Bai family's future actions, because the Bai family will definitely not let today's events go unpunished.

Then there's the Yellow Sand Gang.

If he killed someone from the Yellow Sand Gang, then the so-called leader of the Yellow Sand Gang would definitely know about it.

It's really not easy to live a peaceful and simple life.

Normally, I stay at the Huang family home raising horses, and I've never seen so many big things happen in the world.

He'd only learned a few skills, and suddenly a whole host of problems had arisen.

It could even be said that they were overwhelmed.

But since we're here, we're not afraid.

Otherwise, what's the point of practicing martial arts?

"Okay, one last question."

Where is your gang leader?

Lu Xuan asked.

He didn't even need to ask about the other party's cultivation level. After all, if the other party had a high cultivation level, they wouldn't need to cooperate with the Bai family in such shady dealings.

"Um... I don't know..."

The man in yellow quickly spoke, his expression very sincere, as if he were telling the truth from the bottom of his heart.

"After the gang leader came out, his whereabouts became uncertain, and we could only contact him by carrier pigeon."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan did not continue to make things difficult for the person, but simply nodded thoughtfully.

"Oh, I see."

Lu Xuan loosened his grip on the horsewhip.

The man in yellow felt the pressure on his neck ease, thinking to himself, "This old man is actually quite trustworthy."

Just as he was about to express his gratitude.

Suddenly, Lin Haichao stepped forward, grabbed the man in yellow with both hands, and twisted his head.

With a snap, the man's head was twisted off.

Even as he died, the man stared wide-eyed at Lin Haichao in disbelief.

Damn it.

I completely forgot about one more person!

He should be made to swear an oath as well.

"Thank you so much, Elder Lu. I'm afraid I can never repay this life-saving grace in my lifetime."

"From now on, if Elder Lu needs anything, just say the word. If I utter even a single word of dissent, may I be struck by lightning!"

At this moment, Lin Qiao also climbed down from the tree.

We can't expect Lu Xuan to go up and carry her down again.

"Me too!!"

"From now on, I'll do whatever Elder Lu asks me to do!"
