Chapter 90

After the waiter left, Lu Changsheng sipped his wine while observing the situation outside the window.

The reason he chose Caohe Town was precisely because of this Miss Lin.

According to DemonSubduingOffice intelligence, Miss Lin's family was a scholarly one, and this young lady's beauty was rumored throughout the neighboring towns.

There was a high probability that Zhou Yunkou would come to make a move on this pair of newlyweds.

It was rumored that when this villain committed crimes, he most favored beautiful women.

Of course, these were all Lu Changsheng's guesses; if he couldn't lie in wait for him, it would just be a waste of a few days.

…………

Several days later, in the morning.

On the main street in the center of Caohe Town, firecrackers were sounding, drums and gongs were deafening, and there were surging crowds everywhere; it was extremely noisy.

Today was the day Miss Lin was getting married.

A group of commoners rushed to watch the excitement, and Lu Changsheng happened to blend into the crowd.

He scanned his surroundings, but did not sense any suspicious individuals.

Then, Lu Changsheng followed the flow of people forward.

Soon, he arrived in front of a large mansion.

In front of the mansion were two large stone lions, looking quite imposing.

The surrounding walls formed a large courtyard, enclosing the entire mansion.

An old man in green robes stood at the courtyard gate, collecting invitations from the arrivals one by one.

After Lu Changsheng walked closer, he handed over the red invitation in his hand.

He had already obtained this invitation from the town mayor several days ago.

"Sir, please."

The old man smiled slightly, his face full of kindness.

Lu Changsheng nodded with a smile and walked into the courtyard.

The entire courtyard was filled with banquet tables, laden with rich dishes, the fragrance drifting everywhere, enough to show the host's extravagance.

He found a spot in a corner on the edge and sat down.

The banquet was full of locals from Caohe Town who didn't recognize Lu Changsheng, and there was no interaction between them.

Lu Changsheng scanned his surroundings carefully but didn't find any clues; of course, it was also possible that the other party had used a disguise.

Before long, the bride arrived, stepped over the brazier, and walked straight to the center of the main hall.

At this moment, the middle-aged master of ceremonies in the hall shouted loudly.

He sneered inwardly.

"Second bow to the high hall."

……

Then, the newlyweds bowed to the elders of the Dong family one by one.

The atmosphere at the scene was very harmonious, filled with laughter and joy.

The ceremony ended quickly, and until this moment, Lu Changsheng still hadn't found any trace of the other party.

He prepared to lie in wait for a few more days; if it really didn't work, he would have to leave.

It wasn't until evening that an old man in green robes, dressed like a butler, led the newlyweds toward the backyard.

After the old man turned around, a strange luster appeared in the corner of his eyes.

The banquet ended quickly, and the guests walked out of the courtyard one by one.

……

At night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

Inside the Dong family courtyard, near the back garden, by the edge of a rockery.

Lu Changsheng carefully hid near the rockery, his eyes fixed on a room ahead.

After his inquiries during the day, he had a preliminary understanding of the layout of this courtyard; the building in front was the bridal chamber of the young master of the Dong family.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

At this moment, a young man wearing a bright red robe walked over from the distant corridor, swaying, his face full of the smell of alcohol.

This person was the young master of the Dong family, the groom of the day, Dong Zhi.

"Creak..."

Dong Zhi pushed open the door, stumbled inside, and then closed the door tightly.

He prepared to walk toward the bed with a joyful face.

On the mahogany bed, a slim woman wore a red bridal veil, her slender hands placed on her legs, looking quite quiet.

"Wife, let's drink the nuptial wine."

Dong Zhi picked up the wine bottle on the table with a joyful face and slowly approached the bed.

The spring night was short, and he was already a bit impatient.

Just as he reached the bedside, a sudden change occurred.

"Swish..."

A black shadow quickly drilled out from under the bed.

It revealed a thin old man in green robes; the old man's hands were like chicken claws, his fingernails thin and long, with a black light flickering on them, quite evil.

This person was the "butler" who had appeared at the scene during the day.

"You..."

Dong Zhi was furious, pointing his finger at the old man in green robes, just about to speak and question him, but his neck was grabbed, and his entire face turned red from suffocation.

At this moment, the old man in green robes tore off the mask on his head, revealing a young man with a sinister face.

The man had a hooked nose, cold eyes, slightly curly hair, and his whole body exuded a powerful baleful aura.

"Kid, you don't have the fortune to enjoy this; today, let this seat do it for you."

Zhou Yunkou looked playful, directly tied Dong Zhi to a chair with a rope, and stuffed a rag into his mouth.

As early as several days ago, he had been paying attention to the Dong family, looking for an opportunity to kill the butler and disguise himself as him.

With his disguise technique, he was already familiar with this kind of scene; as for the butler's habits, after a few days of observation, he already knew them by heart.

Next was the moment for him to enjoy himself properly.

The bride on the bed seemed to be asleep; seeing the movement in the room, she didn't make a sound.

Zhou Yunkou walked quickly to the bedside and lifted the bride's veil.

It revealed a woman as beautiful as a flower.

The woman's eyes were slightly closed, obviously in an abnormal state.

"Hehehe..."

Zhou Yunkou smiled coldly and quickly reached out toward Miss Lin's chest.

Soon, he began to undress this Miss Lin.

Several hours ago, he had already arrived in the room and controlled Miss Lin.

As for why he didn't act immediately, it was naturally to wait for the groom to arrive, which would be more exciting and satisfy his "different" psychology.

"Woo woo woo..."

Seeing this, Dong Zhi began to struggle violently, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Zhou Yunkou, as if he were about to spit fire.

"Noisy."

Zhou Yunkou instantly arrived in front of Dong Zhi and grabbed the man's lower body with a claw, as fast as lightning.

"Woo..."

Dong Zhi was in so much pain that his veins bulged, his hands gripping the chair armrests tightly, and he soon fainted.

Zhou Yunkou still felt unsatisfied, immediately woke the other party up, and then slowly walked toward the bed, preparing to enjoy himself properly.

Then, he acted again to wake Miss Lin up, admiring the beauty in front of him with an evil face.

Lin Wanjun looked at the man in front of her in horror, just about to open her mouth to scream, but was directly grabbed by the neck by the other party, leaving only whimpering sounds in her mouth.

Seeing this, Dong Zhi was full of despair, his heart turning to ash.

He couldn't bear to watch the scene that followed.

Today was supposed to be his big day; he didn't expect to encounter a thief, and even he himself had become a cripple.

………………

Outside the house.

Lu Changsheng stared quietly at the house in front, his face a bit puzzled.

There was no movement coming from inside the house, which was clearly not normal.

After breaking through to the Bone-forging Perfect, his hearing was extremely powerful; within a radius of thirty meters, he could even hear the sound of a small bird flying.

The room in front had been quiet until now, which was quite strange.

"Could it be that this young master of the Dong family has a physical problem?"

As soon as this thought came out, he immediately dismissed it.

He had seen this person at the wedding banquet during the day; the other party was full of energy and had a ruddy complexion, not looking like someone with a serious illness.

Lu Changsheng put away his thoughts and prepared to go and investigate.

He operated the Cloud Smoke Step, as fast as thunder, and arrived at the door of the room after a few flashes.

Then he reached out and poked a hole in the window paper, looking into the room.

He saw a young man with a sinister face undressing Miss Lin.

This person was one of the Ghost Soul Envoys, Zhou Yunkou. "Who is it."

Sensing movement by the window, Zhou Yunkou's eyes burst with killing intent, and he turned his head to look back.

Just as he was about to act, suddenly with a "pop" sound, the room door was kicked open by force, and a big man with a resolute face walked in; it was Lu Changsheng.

"A Bone-forging strongman from the government?"

Zhou Yunkou sensed a powerful crisis, and he himself was firmly locked on, making his body tense.

It wasn't the first or second time he had been ambushed by government strongmen, but each time he had easily retreated.

Although his own strength wasn't considered powerful among the Bone-forging Perfect, relying on his movement technique and disguise, he was enough to run rampant in Changping County.

From Lu Changsheng breaking in to Zhou Yunkou discovering the anomaly, it was only a moment.

The newlyweds in the room were full of joy when they saw this.

They didn't expect that there would be a government strongman coming to save them today; this was simply a narrow escape from death.

Just at this moment, Zhou Yunkou moved instantly.

"Bang..."

He saw his legs kick hard, easily jumping several meters high, and then he broke through the roof and ran forward.

"Catch the thief."

The servants outside the house sensed the huge movement and shouted one after another.

The entire Dong family immediately seemed to explode, and figures from all directions gathered toward the backyard.

Lu Changsheng smiled coldly, also jumped up, and chased after Zhou Yunkou.

Out of the house, he jumped and ran on the roof all the way; the surroundings were dim, like a ghost shadow.

Zhou Yunkou was running fast on the roof more than ten meters ahead.

Seeing Lu Changsheng chasing after him, he sneered in his heart.

With his speed, even ordinary Blood Transmutation strongmen would find it difficult to catch him.

He had long since practiced a high-level movement technique to perfection, which was his confidence in running rampant in the county.

Running all the way.

Half a cup of tea later.

Zhou Yunkou sensed that the pursuer behind him still hadn't been shaken off, and his face became a bit solemn.

He didn't expect the pursuer's speed to be so astonishing.

Then, he immediately activated his secret art, his Qi and blood instantly surged, and his speed increased sharply.

"Swish..."

His body moved quickly under the moonlight, like a ghost.

Lu Changsheng hung slowly behind the other party, not in a hurry to block him.

He wanted to see where the other party could escape to; if he could discover a stronghold of the Wenxiang Sect through this, that would be another merit.

The two chased one after the other.

Gradually, Zhou Yunkou also felt that something was wrong.

After he activated his secret art and increased his speed, another cup of tea passed, and the other party was still following him closely.

No matter how he improved his footwork, he could never get rid of the other party.

Zhou Yunkou was extremely terrified in his heart, as if a monstrous wave had surged up.

The pursuer's aura hadn't reached the Blood Transmutation level; to have such speed at the Bone-forging realm, there were only a handful in the entire Changping County.

"It's you! That mysterious strongman who killed Liao Jinping!"

At this moment, Zhou Yunkou suddenly remembered something, his face full of fear.

Just now the night was dim, and he hadn't seen the other party's face clearly for a moment.

At this moment, he finally reacted.

It was rumored that the mysterious strongman had astonishing speed, which just happened to match the pursuer behind him.

With the other party's speed, hanging behind him all the time, it was clear that he had other intentions.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yunkou immediately stopped and landed on a roof eave.

If he accidentally led the other party to the Holy Sect's hidden stronghold, his crime would not be small.

"Are you determined to have me?"

Zhou Yunkou drew the long blade from his waist, cold light flickering in his eyes.

Now that things had come to this, he could only choose to fight to the death.

Seeing that Zhou Yunkou was no longer fleeing, Lu Changsheng also landed on a roof eave, about ten meters away from the other party.

"Die."

His tone was cold, and without wasting words, he immediately made a move.

The secret art Three Fold Wave was instantly activated, his Qi and blood surged, and with a powerful sense of oppression, he suppressed the other party fiercely.

Then, he drew the transformed Killing Pig Knife, kicked his legs, instantly arrived in front of Zhou Yunkou, and slashed with the knife.

An astonishing cold light flickered in the dark night.

With this slash, he used his full strength; under the activation of the secret art, it had reached the level of an ordinary Blood Transmutation strongman, and coupled with the perfect-level blade method, his attack power had reached his own limit.

Sensing the arrival of a death aura, Zhou Yunkou was full of despair.

"Blood Transmutation strongman?"

Too late to think, he activated his blood essence with all his might and slashed forward with his blade.

Bursts of blood-evil aura lingered on the blade, making people nauseous.

"Boom boom boom..."

In an instant, the two long blades collided, making a violent sound, and a wave of air spread out, lifting a large number of tiles on the roof.

With one strike.

Lu Changsheng directly deflected Zhou Yunkou's long blade, and then slashed toward the other party's head without losing momentum.

Before Zhou Yunkou could react, a cold light instantly cut through his neck.

"You..."

Zhou Yunkou clutched his neck and slowly fell backward, his head also rolling onto the street along the roof eave.

The surroundings were covered in blood, quite gruesome.

One slash, and the Ghost Soul Envoy of the Bone-forging Perfect was beheaded.

This was Lu Changsheng's strength after breaking through; under the activation of the secret art, it was enough to easily kill most Bone-forging Perfect strongmen.

At this moment, he finally stepped into the ranks of the county's strongmen.

Then, Lu Changsheng put away his thoughts, walked quickly to Zhou Yunkou's corpse, crouched down, and searched carefully.

After finding a few bottles and jars, and some silver notes, he destroyed the other party's corpse and then turned and left the place.

Lu Changsheng returned along the original path, preparing to go to the Dong family mansion.

When he entered the room just now, he found that Miss Lin's body was abnormal; she was probably drugged by Zhou Yunkou.

After he killed Zhou Yunkou, there might be an antidote among the bottles and jars he obtained.

With the mentality of saving people to the end, he ran quickly toward the Dong mansion.

…………

Dong family backyard.

In a gorgeous bridal chamber.

At this time, the room was already full of people surrounding the groom, all clenching their fists, their faces full of anger.

"Who exactly did this?"

A middle-aged man looked at the bloodstains under Dong Zhi's crotch, his eyes about to spit fire.

On the big day, his own son was directly crippled; this was simply a great humiliation.

Dong Zhi had fainted again from the pain.

At this time, Miss Lin softly told everyone at the scene the ins and outs of the matter.

She was also full of lingering fear, her body soft and without any strength; she was clearly drugged.

If it weren't for the strongman coming to the rescue, not only would her innocence not be preserved today, but she probably wouldn't have survived either.

Just at this moment, a big man in black walked in, holding a head wrapped in burlap, dripping with blood, quite gruesome.

"Thank you, sir, for avenging my son."

At this time, the people in the room also reacted and bowed in gratitude.

They guessed that the other party was probably a government strongman and didn't dare to be negligent at all.

"May I ask your name, sir?"

An old man with a white beard and hair asked.

"I am Ye Chen."

Lu Changsheng made up a name casually, then placed the bottles and jars in his hand on the table.

"The antidote is probably among these; you should find a doctor to distinguish it."

After speaking, he walked out of the room without looking back.

The people in the room looked at Miss Lin quietly, full of shame and anger.

"How should today's wedding end?"

Miss Lin was clearly still a virgin.
