Chapter 59

Before long, everyone on the scene had their teams matched.

Lu Zhangsheng also formed a small team with four Apprentice Town Demon Envoys, with himself serving as the captain.

Among the four subordinates, there were three men and one woman.

Among the three men, there was one dressed in black, with a sturdy stature and a very young appearance, named Lu Zhangkun.

The only woman looked somewhat like a girl next door, named Wei Rong.

The eyes of the few looking at Lu Zhangsheng all carried a trace of flattery.

As Flesh Refining martial artists who had just joined the Town Demon Division, they naturally hoped to leave a good impression in front of their superiors and have one more chance of survival during missions.

Soon, everyone in the hall took their mission credentials and walked toward the outside of the hall.

Lu Zhangsheng also stepped forward to take his mission token and left the main hall with the few.

After leaving the Town Demon Division, the five rushed all the way, soon passed the city gate, and arrived at an open space outside the county city.

At this time, Lu Zhangsheng stopped suddenly.

He took out the mission token, opened the interlayer, and pulled out a white paper filled with symbols from inside.

Only to see that it was marked with a large number of fortress patterns, among which a pattern in the lower left corner was circled with a red circle, clearly the destination of their trip.

After Lu Zhangsheng compared it with the map in his mind, he found that this place was a farmstead one hundred miles west of the city.

"Let's hurry on our way."

He waved his big hand and rushed toward the front quickly.

The few behind him hurriedly followed.

To prevent the mission from leaking, they didn't ask much about some details, and everything was based on the captain.

The few rushed along the mountain road all the way, and it wasn't until two days later that they arrived at the location marked with the red circle on the map.

Lu Zhangsheng hid in the depths of the dense forest, staring quietly at the farmstead in front.

From the outside, the manor was very peaceful, and there were quite a few men cleaning the courtyard and killing livestock, a scene of harmony.

After observing for half an hour, the crowd still didn't find any abnormalities.

However, the intelligence of the Town Demon Division could not be wrong; it was only possible that some people were hiding.

Lu Zhangsheng no longer hesitated and immediately led the few to rush toward the farmstead in front.

Before long, they arrived outside the manor gate.

At this time, a big man in black inside the manor saw the movement and walked out immediately.

With a smile on his face, he said to Lu Zhangsheng: "May I ask you officials, what is the matter with coming to my Qiu Family Manor?"

Clearly, he also had a very sharp eye and knew that Lu Zhangsheng was the leader.

"This official is here to investigate some suspicious matters."

Lu Zhangsheng's expression was very calm.

After speaking, he walked forward directly with the few, passed the man, and stepped into the manor.

Everyone in the manor looked at Lu Zhangsheng and the others with surprise.

This place had always been very remote; he didn't expect that someone from the County Government would come to investigate today, which was truly rare.

The leading big man in black saw that he couldn't stop them and chased after them, smiling and leading the way.

"Officials, go to the main hall to drink some tea..."

Saying that, he led the few toward the living room.

Lu Zhangsheng and the others didn't decline and sat down in the living room directly.

The big man in black ran with small steps and left the living room, seemingly to prepare tea.

Before long, this person returned, holding a tray in his hand, on which were several cups of steaming tea.

"Officials, please have some tea."

Qiu Qingyuan nodded and bowed repeatedly, but a trace of inexplicable meaning flashed in his eyes when he lowered his head.

Lu Zhangsheng took the tea but didn't drink it, instead asking calmly: "Are you the person in charge here? Have there been any suspicious personnel in the manor recently?"

"This little one is the Manor Master here; this place has always been peaceful, and there are no abnormalities; did the official make a mistake?"

Qiu Qingyuan licked his face and accompanied him with a smile in a low voice.

Wei Rong and the other Town Demon Envoys also had thoughtful expressions, and the teacups on the table were also untouched.

They didn't dare to drink the tea outside casually; those who were bold had all turned into ashes.

Didn't they see that their own boss hadn't moved? The few didn't dare to try easily.

"Humph... you are lying!"

At this time, Lu Zhangsheng suddenly snorted coldly, and powerful Qi and Blood erupted suddenly, suppressing toward the man.

"This subordinate has never dared to lie to the official..."

Qiu Qingyuan was full of panic, appearing very innocent, but a trace of coldness appeared in the depths of his eyes, flashing away.

His heart was very cold; the other party's few people were clearly coming with bad intentions, and the leader was extremely cautious, leaving him no opportunity.

"It seems I can only make a move to wipe them out."

He thought to himself.

"You few go and search around, try not to go too far." Lu Zhangsheng said to his subordinates with a smile.

Afterwards, he didn't care about this Manor Master and pretended to investigate.

Qiu Qingyuan didn't ask for trouble and retreated out of the house slowly.

Seeing this person leave, Lu Zhangsheng's expression was very cold.

Just now he was only testing him slightly; although the other party tried his best to cover it up, he still discovered a flaw.

A person's confidence cannot be faked, and this person was indeed full of confidence.

He didn't make a move to take the other party down immediately, just using this person's hand to ferret out those mice hiding in the dark.

Soon, Wei Rong and the others returned to the house after searching the surroundings.

"Captain, after our search, we didn't find any abnormalities."

Wei Rong said with a smile, her tone crisp.

"No matter, we will act at night."

Lu Zhangsheng waved his hand, his expression calm.

"That man has a problem?"

Wei Rong's eyes stirred slightly.

The few were not fools, and they understood immediately.

The four looked at each other, and they felt relieved directly, listening to the captain's command.

Time passed.

Night fell quickly.

The bright moonlight sprinkled on the edge of the surrounding jungle, as if a group of demonic shadows were intertwined.

The entire manor was very quiet, and occasionally there were a few crow calls, which were very creepy.

On the east side of the manor, on a roof.

Lu Zhangsheng and the others were hiding behind the eaves, staring quietly at the surroundings.

After the Manor Master left during the day and saw that the few didn't intend to leave, he prepared two connected guest rooms for them.

Lu Zhangsheng and the others didn't rest, but came to the roof in the distance.

As the night deepened, the cold air became greater and greater.

Until late at night.

Just at this time, a group of sneaky men in black rushed over from a corner in the distance.

The leader was the Manor Master Qiu Qingyuan from the daytime.

A group of people rushed into the guest room on the left immediately, looking at the empty small room, their expressions cold.

"Not good, our plan is exposed."

Qiu Qingyuan shouted loudly immediately.

His brain turned, and he instantly discovered that he was probably exposed during the day.

"You are quite clever; tell me the location where those heretic cultists are hiding."

At this time, Lu Zhangsheng led the few to the outside of the guest room, blocking the few in the room.

"Kill."

Qiu Qingyuan's eyes were full of murderous intent, he raised his long blade, and slashed toward Lu Zhangsheng fiercely.

A group of men in black around also rushed toward Wei Rong and the others.

Wei Rong and the others were facing a great enemy, preparing to make a move to kill the enemy, just at this time Lu Zhangsheng moved.

"Slash."

Lu Zhangsheng raised the slaughtering knife in his hand and slashed forward with one blade.

The speed was so fast that it had already formed afterimages, cold light traveled in the void, and the momentum was very amazing.

"Whoosh..."

Qiu Qingyuan's long blade was directly cut off, and the cut was smooth and flat.

Then a cold light slashed across the other party's neck.

"You..."

Qiu Qingyuan pointed at Lu Zhangsheng with his right hand, full of horror, but couldn't say a word.

With his early-stage Flesh Refining strength, he didn't expect that he couldn't even take one blade.

One blade, Manor Master dead.

Lu Zhangsheng then waved his long blade quickly, slashing toward the group of people in front.

Bursts of cold light traveled in the void.

"Ah..."

Accompanied by screams, a group of corpses soon appeared on the ground.
