At this time, a black-clad guard came running over: "Master, two of our brothers were killed, and the young man ran away!"
"What? Killed by someone without any cultivation?"
He raised his voice slightly and strode towards the back door with anger. As expected, he saw two guards lying motionless on the ground, one with his neck cut and the other with a sword stabbed in the chest.
Seeing this, his face darkened slightly and he clenched his fists: "Very good! I didn't expect that a kid with no cultivation would have such great ability to kill my people!"
The old man who followed her stroked his beard thoughtfully: She has no cultivation, but she can kill people with cultivation. Moreover, there is actually a formation master in this place. It seems that the woman has a secret!
Thinking of this, a ray of light flashed across his slightly narrowed eyes very quickly.
"What is the relationship between the captured man and the woman?" the old man looked at the head of the Xu family and asked.
Hearing this, Patriarch Xu turned around and said, "That man is a descendant of the Guan family, a middle-class family in Yunyue City. However, he was said to have died in Jiufu Forest a while ago. I guess that woman saved him. The two had a good relationship and seemed to call each other brother and sister."
"So, if she knew this man was arrested, she would definitely show up?"
"Yes." Patriarch Xu nodded, and his expression relaxed at this time: "It's better to let the boy escape. If he escapes, he will find the woman and tell her that he was caught. I don't believe that Guan Xilin will not come when she is in my hands!"
The old man frowned slightly and asked in a calm voice: "If the Guan family knew that he was in your hands, would they take any action?"
"Oh, how could that be? Guan Xilin is an abandoned child in the Guan family. His fiancée was snatched away by his cousin. Who would care about the life and death of a person abandoned by the family?"
"That's good. Before we lead that woman out, he can't die, and no trouble can happen." The old man said in a calm voice.
Hearing this, Patriarch Xu's heart moved slightly, and he looked at the old man with some doubts: "Senior, you are already a master of formations, why are you interested in a formation of a little girl?"
The old man glanced at him, his face darkening, "Master Xu, please don't be curious about my affairs. It's better not to meddle in them. You should know that the more you know, the faster you will die!"
After hearing this, Patriarch Xu naturally did not dare to ask any more questions. After all, the old man's identity was not someone he could afford to offend.
As for the other side
Leng Hua, who escaped, hid in an alley, gasping for breath. His body was covered in blood, some of it his own and some of it from the guards he had killed.
It was his first time to kill someone. He hadn't thought much about it before because the situation was critical, but now his body was shaking slightly. He was afraid and couldn't calm down.
After hiding in the alley for a while, he saw that there was no movement around and those people were not chasing him. Then he gritted his teeth, stood up against the wall, and went to Taohuawu under the cover of night.
He knew that his master's other identity was a ghost doctor, and he also had connections with the black market, but he couldn't go to the black market at this time, because in the past it was his sister who went to the black market. Not to mention that those people didn't know him, even if he really let him in, he was afraid that things would get out of hand and expose his master's identity.
The wound on his back could not be bandaged and was oozing blood, which stained his body wetly. Every step he took hurt the wound, which made his already weak face even paler. Even so, he still gritted his teeth and walked...
