Chapter 127: Soul Detaining Envoy

A'Nuo carried the overturned wheelchair over. Lu Xingzhou supported himself on the ground with both hands and flipped his body to sit back down.

The Sheng family's old servant quickly helped Sheng Yuan Yao up. He looked back and saw a deep gash dripping with blood, but fortunately, it wasn't deep.

In fact, this was the first time Lu Xingzhou's Mirror Light Talisman's deflected attack had still managed to cause injury, which left Lu Xingzhou somewhat speechless.

The old servant sprinkled medicinal powder on Sheng Yuan Yao to bandage her wound. Lu Xingzhou then handed over a pill: "This one will stop bleeding and promote muscle growth. If taken promptly, it won't leave a scar."

The old servant hastily thanked him: "This time, we are truly indebted to Young Master Lu. If Young Master Lu ever comes to the Sheng family, everyone will feel greatly honored."

Although the injury didn't look serious now... if it had been half an inch deeper, it would have been fatal. Not to mention, if it hadn't been for Lu Xingzhou's Mirror Light Talisman, the sword would have already pierced her heart.

Even Pei Yu gave his thanks with lingering fear: "Many thanks, Brother Lu. If Young Lady Sheng had truly had an accident under my watch, I, Pei, would not be able to hold my head up."

Lu Xingzhou said coldly: "Of course. What kind of time is it to still be trying to create a world for just two people? I originally thought you were fishing, but it turns out you're truly stupid."

Pei Yu was too embarrassed to answer. It wasn't a big deal to come out for a garden stroll. As long as everyone was together, an assassination would be fundamentally impossible. It was precisely because of this incident that the gap for someone to exploit was found, leaving no room for denial.

Even more awkward was Chu Qingchen. Creating an opportunity for a sneak attack by trying to create a world for just two people was because he wanted to pursue a girl. The two of them losing their vigilance and their minds being in chaos was also due to his pestering. Even his final reaction on the spot was a big mistake he made. If Sheng Yuan Yao had really had an accident, he would simply be considered an accomplice.

Putting everything else aside, the beauty had flown away. Looking at Sheng Yuan Yao now, her gaze from beginning to end was simply fixed on Lu Xingzhou, not even sparing him a single glance.

It was a pity that time couldn't be reversed. The mistake had already been made, and the opportunity to save the beauty was given to someone else.

After Sheng Yuan Yao finished bandaging her wound, she asked in a somewhat laborious low voice: "Regarding Ye Wu Feng, what are your thoughts now?"

Lu Xingzhou, having finished his outburst, didn't continue to scold her. He said seriously: "I told you, this person is a very patient venomous snake. Initially, he stared at Cheng Yuan for a whole month. Situations like just now should be him following your tail, determining the destination was this garden, then sneaking in in advance, holding his breath in the water until the most suitable moment to strike suddenly."

Everyone was silent, it was indeed like this.

"So completely blaming you for not being vigilant is also unfair. After all, a thief can have a thousand days, but a guard cannot have a thousand days. Being secretly stared at by this kind of person, sooner or later they will find an opportunity to strike. It's impossible for everyone to always be surrounded by a group of people... Therefore, we must actively make arrangements and permanently remove the hidden danger."

Sheng Yuan Yao said excitedly: "After my injury heals, you make the arrangements, and we'll try to fish him out again."

Lu Xingzhou glared at her impatiently: "Do you think he's a fool? Won't he know we're fishing? I already said, he'll suspect a trap if you hunt him before, and will observe first. What's more, after this incident, it will be even harder to fish him out."

Sheng Yuan Yao was scolded and hung her head dejectedly, unable to retort. She sat there pitifully like a little dog.

"The top of the new list is not just anyone... even if it's a list with missing information like your Town Demon Division's list, someone might be able to sneak in at the end of the list, but the top of the list is impossible to deal with easily. Do you really think he's a fool just because I called him one?" Lu Xingzhou sighed: "You go back and rest first, heal your injury. I will plan this matter, and will find you when the time comes."

The group of people no longer had the mood for a garden tour or matchmaking. They all silently disbanded and went back.

Lu Xingzhou suddenly turned his head: "That Brother Chu, you must be careful."

Chu Qingchen was stunned for a moment, then nodded silently.

He had said what "if Ye Wu Feng is in front, Miss Sheng should know the result," that kind of narrow-minded person, being humiliated on the spot is probably not enough. He might not know that the next assassination will be directed at himself.

Pei Yu said: "Then Brother Chu can live in my Pei mansion. I doubt he would dare to act recklessly."

Chu Qingchen didn't say anything, but secretly gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

Ye Wu Feng wants to kill him, so why wouldn't he want to kill Ye Wu Feng? What good is it to hide in the Pei mansion like a stray dog? Carefully analyzing the opponent's speed and strength just now, a face-to-face duel isn't necessarily unwinnable, as long as he is given the opportunity for a duel.

On the other side, Ye Wu Feng returned to the secret station of Yan Luo Hall in the capital. A subordinate greeted him: "Detain Soul Envoy, someone from the Huo family contacted us secretly just now."

Anyone can contact Yan Luo Hall through secret codes, ultimately to do business... only the person who goes to connect with Yan Luo Hall is just a small follower, and while connecting, another different person observes the connector from a far different angle to see if they are being tracked. It's very hard to trace the location of the Yan Luo Hall station through this method. Often, by the time they try to follow the trail, they find the place is already empty. The Town Demon Division also knows this, and for the time being, they don't want to stir up trouble.

Ye Wu Feng looked at the reporting subordinate and realized that this whole system was designed by Lu Xingzhou. He had once used this play to fool and even trap and kill many righteous path people who wanted to wipe out the Yan Luo Hall's old nest. He felt a complicated emotion. If Lu Xingzhou truly wanted to betray them, this system would probably not be able to defend against him, and the old nest would inevitably be destroyed.

But no matter how much Ye Wu Feng disliked Lu Xingzhou, he firmly believed in his heart that Lu Xingzhou would not do that.

At most, he would fish himself out and kill him, but he wouldn't deal with Yan Luo Hall.

In fact, without Lu Xingzhou today, many people in Yan Luo Hall felt somewhat uneasy. They always felt that without Lu Xingzhou in charge, the original meticulous design suddenly didn't feel so meticulous, and there was a sense of crisis that they could be wiped out at any time. Even Ye Wu Feng himself felt this way.

Meticulousness does not rely solely on the system itself, but also on the person in charge, who can change and adjust according to different situations at any time. But now, no one has such a person.

Ye Wu Feng himself admitted that before, he felt Lu Xingzhou was just a freeloader and looked down on him greatly. But when he left, he only discovered his value from many inadvertent angles. Thus, his evaluation of Lu Xingzhou also unconsciously changed for the better. Especially today, in contrast to Chu Qingchen, he could experience how strong Lu Xingzhou's consciousness was, no wonder his own tripwires in Yan Luo Hall over the years had only touched thin air in the end.

"Huo family..." Ye Wu Feng sneered: "The Huo family has come to the door. The only possibility is to buy murder to kill the Judge. Are you taking it?"

The subordinate stole a glance at him: "We handled it vaguely. Ultimately, we need the Detain Soul Envoy's approval."

Ye Wu Feng said: "Although the Judge is gone, he hasn't broken away yet. We cannot take this business. Refuse it."

The subordinate knew clearly in his heart that when Lu Xingzhou had just left, you were the one who was searching for his whereabouts everywhere, wanting to kill him quickly. Where did he get such nice words? The real reason he didn't dare to act was that everyone discovered that King Yan was still secretly paying attention to the Judge. Who would dare to gamble what King Yan was thinking...

"The Huo family person said, this is not just business, but also cooperation."

Ye Wu Feng was startled, then came to his senses.

The Huo family itself has many experts. What difficulty is there in killing a Lu Xingzhou? It's just that they don't dare. Why would they want to hire Yan Luo Hall to act? It's clearly to make the outside world feel that this is an internal fight within Yan Luo Hall and clear the Huo family's involvement.

But looking at it in reverse, suppose he really acts and kills Lu Xingzhou, can't he also frame it on the Huo family and let King Yan think that the Huo family did it?

If he wanted to kill Lu Xingzhou himself, this would be the only opportunity. If he missed this village, there would be no more such a good opportunity to shift the blame.

Thinking of Lu Xingzhou casually showing a ghost-driving talisman on the street, clearly alone yet not daring to suppress him, Ye Wu Feng pinched the hilt of his sword and remained silent for a long time. He then asked in a low voice: "Where is the Huo family person?"

Huo Jin sat leisurely in the teahouse private room drinking tea and waiting. Not long after, his eyes blurred, and a black-clothed figure suddenly appeared before him.

He was thin with sinister eyes. Just one glance, and that chilling killing intent made Huo Jin's whole body shiver.

Yan Luo Hall's Detain Soul Envoy, Ye Wu Feng, had countless souls dead under his sword. The chilling killing intent was truly not something a young master like him, who only knew how to strut around, could bear.

"Huo family's Huo Jin, greetings to the Detain Soul Envoy."

Ye Wu Feng sized him up and down: "You are Huo Jin? The one who was defeated by Lu Xingzhou with one move across levels in Yan Yu Building?"

Huo Jin: "......"

Ye Wu Feng sneered: "How do you want to cooperate? Tell me and let me hear."

Huo Jin said: "Someone suspects that Lu Xingzhou is the former Judge of Yan Luo Hall. Don't know if it's true or false?"

Ye Wu Feng shook his head: "This is not our business. If you have something to say, say it."

Huo Jin held his breath: "If we create an environment where Lu Xingzhou is alone, would the Detain Soul Envoy dare to act and kill him?"

Ye Wu Feng laughed coldly: "Your Huo family has a good plan. You say he's alone, but when the time comes, won't ten thousand people witness that Yan Luo Hall killed Lu Xingzhou, and you get off scot-free?"

Huo Jin said: "The Detain Soul Envoy is overthinking..."

"Then you prove it to me."

"How to prove?"

"There's a little kid named Chu Qingchen, I don't like him... you first create an environment for me to kill him and prove how you do it."
