73: The son of the Xu family's destiny! The iron-hearted demon-suppressing envoys!

“What’s wrong, Shengyuan?”

Shen Xinrong, who was standing nearby, also noticed Li Shengyuan’s change and asked out of curiosity.

“Just found a fish that slipped through the net. You all wait here; I’ll be right back.”

Li Shengyuan chuckled, then took a step, and his entire person vanished from the spot.

Everyone was stunned. They had clearly searched already, so how could there still be someone?

They then continued with the roll call.

However, the expressions of the Xu Family members changed drastically. They had all heard what Li Shengyuan said.

The change in the Xu Family members’ expressions made the Demon Suppression Envoys look at each other. Could it be that the Xu Family was truly hiding someone?

But they had all used the Demon Suppression Division’s artifacts to scan the place once already…

At this moment, the Silver-Robed Demon Suppression Envoy who was calling names also read out a name, but no one responded.

“Xu Mingzhi’s third grandson, Xu Bingying!”

“…”

Seeing no one answer, the Xu Family members merely lowered their heads and remained silent. The Silver-Robed Demon Suppression Envoy’s face also turned cold.

“The eldest grandson, Xu Jiaying, is in the capital. Xu Yiying is at Egret Academy and has been brought under control. This Xu Bingying is within the Xu Mansion. You’d best honestly confess where he’s hidden, or face severe torture!”

Although the Xu Family members were trembling with fear, not one of them spoke.

The Silver-Robed Demon Suppression Envoy sneered, “Very good, we’ve given you a chance. It seems the fish that slipped through the net, discovered by our Lord, is precisely that Xu Bingying. Once caught, he will be immediately executed!”

Watching the Xu Family members’ faces gradually turn pale and unsightly, the various Demon Suppression Envoys merely smiled coldly.

At this moment, Xu Mingzhi’s gray-haired legal wife stepped forward, looking at everyone with hatred, and said in a sorrowful, deep voice:

“You don’t need to waste your energy. My grandson Bingying has already…”

“Mother!” A charming, well-preserved noblewoman stepped forward, looking at the old woman with sorrow.

The old woman patted her hand, then said in a deep voice, “After my grandson Bingying learned of what his grandfather did, he was heartbroken and, unwilling to bear such a stain on his name, he took his own life. His body has also been buried by us!”

The old woman’s words indeed left several people stunned. Shen Xinrong, who had been observing, also looked at the old woman with surprise, never expecting that there were also righteous people within the Xu Family.

Surprised as she was, Shen Xinrong would not feel sympathy.

The Demon Suppression Envoys then realized, no wonder their life detectors couldn’t detect anything—so the person had already committed suicide!

Looking at the old woman and her daughter-in-law’s appearance, it didn’t seem like they were faking it.

However, the Silver-Robed Demon Suppression Envoy who was calling names still said with a cold face, “We need to see the living, or the corpse of the dead. It’s not something you can just say casually and have it count. Where is the body!”

“You… you are simply going too far! My grandson is already dead, and you still want to desecrate his grave!”

The old woman looked at the Silver-Robed Demon Suppression Envoy with furious eyes, filled with unbearable grief. Her entire body began to tremble, looking as if she was about to collapse.

The beautiful mature woman who had stepped forward supported the old woman, her eyes red, and laughed sorrowfully at the Silver-Robed Demon Suppression Envoy.

“My poor child, you are already dead, yet these accursed beasts won’t even let you rest in peace… It’s mother’s incompetence, I couldn’t protect you, boo hoo hoo…”

“This…”

Several Black Uniform Zhen Mo Shis who had only recently joined the Demon Suppression Division looked at each other, feeling a bit soft-hearted.

The person is already dead; wouldn’t digging up their grave be going too far…

But upon seeing the cold expressions on the faces of the Silver-Robed Demon Suppression Envoy present, they immediately composed themselves and began silently reciting the Demon Suppression Division’s oath of entry.

“I voluntarily join the Great Gan Demon Suppression Division, resolutely uphold the laws of Great Gan, and abide by the laws of Great Gan, uphold the honor of the Demon Suppression Division, fairly judge every criminal, and show no mercy to any criminal…”

After reciting the oath of entry once, the compassion in their hearts indeed dissipated significantly.

The Silver-Robed Demon Suppression Envoy responsible for the roll call even crossed his arms and sneered disdainfully.

“Hmph! I’ve seen your kind of tricks countless times. Stop pretending to be pitiful here. You’ve caused the deaths of many people. Honestly confess where the body is, and he can still remain whole. Otherwise…”

Although the beautiful mature woman and the old woman still looked sorrowful, a hint of panic appeared deep in their eyes.

Finally, Xu Bingying’s mother, the beautiful mature woman, let out a long breath and, shedding tears, said:

“I’ll tell you where Bingying is!”

“I only ask that after you confirm his body, you allow him to remain whole and return him to his original place.”

“Less nonsense!”

The Silver-Robed Demon Suppression Envoy looked impatient. He had seen too many cases like this, and influenced by Gold Robe Li’s thoroughness in rooting out evil, these little tricks simply couldn’t move his heart of stone.

Xu Bingying’s mother’s expression changed several times, but she ultimately revealed a location.

Then she and the old woman cried even more miserably…

At this moment, Li Shengyuan had slowly landed in an unremarkable backyard of the Xu Family.

He seemed to casually glance at the willows swaying in the wind in the courtyard, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of Li Shengyuan’s mouth.

Their family was raided and annihilated, but they narrowly escaped, bearing deep blood vengeance…

That’s right!

Perhaps Liu Xiu’s family had survived in this manner back then. It’s just a pity that those who dealt with Liu Xiu’s family weren’t ruthless enough and didn’t wipe out his entire family.

Li Shengyuan would not give the Xu Family this chance now. He had already ordered the Demon Suppression Envoys to turn over the Xu Family’s land three times, digging until even earthworms were split vertically twice, ensuring they were as dead as could be, to prevent anyone from attaching residual souls to these small creatures and slipping through.

Earlier in the front yard, Li Shengyuan hadn’t sensed it clearly, but upon arriving here, he distinctly felt the change.

Especially when he descended into this small courtyard, a wave of soul fluctuation was most intense.

Although Li Shengyuan knew the person’s hiding place, he didn’t immediately expose it.

Instead, he stretched, leisurely walked to the stone stool beside the willow tree, and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, a very heaven-defying plot he had seen in his previous life appeared in his mind…

Bring the protagonist’s relatives here and investigate thoroughly. When the Xu Family madam’s tax evasion comes to light, he can then carefully sense the changes in the target at a certain location, and then confirm where the person is hiding…

Li Shengyuan also had to admit that this was indeed a good method. Just like when he had mentioned there was still a fish that slipped through the net, the expressions of those Xu Family madams had changed.

With such close proximity and intimate contact, he would definitely be able to more clearly detect the changes in the Xu Family madams.

One had to say, the person who came up with this method was simply a genius!

It was just a bit too heaven-defying, Li Shengyuan thought about it and still rejected it.

Although Xu Mingzhi’s several concubines were still as beautiful as flowers, and his several daughters-in-law were also charming, if he really did such a heaven-defying thing, the Great God of Harmony would definitely not let him off, at the very least, he would be locked in a small dark room and whipped for a few days…

Li Shengyuan sat on the stone stool, seemingly troubled, and sighed, saying with a headache:

“Where on earth did that Xu Family boy escape to…”

Under Li Shengyuan’s perception, the Child of Fortune seemed to have received his comfort, and his reaction became much calmer.

Li Shengyuan’s lips curled into a slight smile. These Children of Fortune were the most detestable; today, he must torment and tease them properly!

“Forget it, if I can’t find him, it’s his good luck. If I encounter him next time, I’ll definitely make him pay!”

After speaking, Li Shengyuan looked extremely annoyed, stood up, and was about to leave the courtyard.

The soul fluctuation had indeed weakened a lot, and Li Shengyuan was secretly laughing in his heart.

Did they think this was the end?

Soon, he would let these detestable Children of Fortune know what true despair was!
