271: Baidao Mansion! Liang Cheng, Lu Yunqing's methods!

A day passed in a flash!

“Director Mu, these are the remains of the missing Blackbird Guards. Please give them a proper burial!”

“Their pensions will all be calculated at ten times the usual rate!”

“Just say it’s the Lord’s intention!”

In Mingxin Prefecture, Lu Xuan had returned. With a wave of his hand, a purple glow flashed and disappeared, and fourteen exquisite boxes instantly appeared on the ground.

The deaths of these Blackbird Guards, in the end, had a little to do with him.

Therefore, Lu Xuan personally separated their remains one by one and packed them into the boxes.

“Yes!”

After Mu Yun left with the remains of the fallen Blackbird Guards, Lu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, slowly turning his gaze towards the door, muttering to himself.

“Those four people, it seems they are not dead yet!”

Yesterday, after Lu Xuan killed those four people of unknown origin, he did not leave.

Instead, he directly manipulated Close Distance to the Horizon, escaping into the Void Realm, hiding in the shadows and observing.

It wasn’t until a day had passed, and Lu Xuan saw that those four people did not resurrect on the spot like Wu Jiu did before, that he felt relieved and left, choosing to return to Mingxin Prefecture.

However, even after Lu Xuan returned, he remained highly suspicious.

Those four people were by no means simple individuals.

Lu Xuan was ninety percent certain that the four of them were very likely from the Eight Great Families.

And the power of the Eight Great Families was extremely mysterious, especially since they wielded the ten-pattern sun relic, which was known as the ultimate power of the Great Xia Dynasty.

“It’s time to return to An Prefecture!”

Baidao Prefecture, Pan Shi County!

The deep darkness of night was like ink, enveloping the entire county town.

Only the occasional sound of wind and distant dog barks broke the dead silence.

On both sides of the street, a few dim lanterns hung sparsely.

The faint light from the lanterns barely illuminated the narrow bluestone path.

Near a rather impressive mansion, three figures were concealed in the shadows, merging with the vast night.

Their eyes were incredibly sharp, intently watching the movements around them, seemingly waiting for something.

Time passed quietly, for an unknown duration.

Suddenly, a whistling sound cut through the night sky.

In the distance, a blurry figure ran swiftly along the dark street, their steps light and graceful.

“Excellent!”

Among the three hidden in a distant corner, a low voice spoke, carrying an irrepressible excitement.

“Brother Su, this damned beast has finally appeared.”

Another voice immediately followed, filled with gnashing hatred.

“It wasn’t in vain that this old man squatted here for five consecutive days.”

“Cousin Yunqing, it’s our turn to act.”

The first person to speak said in a low voice, with a hint of coldness.

“This old man will definitely make this beast and scoundrel know the methods of Sir Liang Cheng!”

Before the words finished, the three figures moved swiftly and silently, like ghosts, darting out of the shadows and rapidly chasing after the blurry figure.

The night wind howled, and the lanterns on the street swayed slightly, casting the shadows of three rushing figures.

And these three were the Huang Grade Xuan Niao Guard Su An, along with Liang Cheng and Lu Yunqing.

“Who is it?!”

The dark figure seemed to sense the movement behind him and suddenly turned around, his voice filled with extreme panic and vigilance.

“You are… …”

Before he could finish his sentence, he was met with an enormous fist.

The fist, carrying a fierce gust of wind, slammed directly into his face with great force!

“It’s your Sir Liang Cheng!”

Liang Cheng’s voice exploded like thunder, and his fist mercilessly smashed into the dark figure’s face.

“Boom!”

A crisp sound of bones shattering suddenly cut through the night sky, followed by a heart-wrenching scream.

“Ah—!”

After the dark figure’s body was heavily struck by Liang Cheng, his small frame flew backward like a kite with a broken string, falling heavily to the ground.

In a place where Liang Cheng and the others couldn’t clearly see, the man’s nose bridge was deeply sunken, and crimson blood gushed from his mouth and nose.

Such intense pain caused the mysterious man’s entire face to almost twist out of shape.

However, this was not the end. After Liang Cheng and Lu Yunqing exchanged glances, their eyes flickered with terrifying ferocity.

Without hesitation, they instantly charged forward, using both hands and feet.

“Stop hitting! Stop hitting!”

The mysterious man immediately curled up on the ground, covering his face with his hands, his voice full of pain and fear.

“It hurts! It hurts so much!”

Cries echoed in the night sky, as if every bone in his body had been crushed, and countless meridians within him had been forcibly torn apart.

Liang Cheng sneered, directly stepping on the dark figure’s chest, looking down at him: “Beast, do you feel the pain now?”

“If I let you, this beast, die comfortably, then this old man wouldn’t be in this business!”

Su An also slowly walked over at this point, coldly staring at the dark figure on the ground.

Su An said in a deep voice: “Yan Chengping, tell me, who instigated you?”

“How dare you set fire to Feng Jin’s family!”

“And even defile the Feng Family’s young lady to death!”

Yan Chengping, who was being trampled under Liang Cheng’s foot, trembled non-stop, his voice sounding intermittent: “I… I don’t know… I was just following orders…”

“Following orders?”

At this moment, Liang Cheng suddenly snorted coldly, increasing the force under his foot by a few points.

“Whose orders?”

“Speak!”

“Ah—!”

The dark figure let out another scream, almost fainting.

Lu Yunqing frowned and whispered, “Brother Cheng, don’t kill him. We still need to get something useful out of him.”

Liang Cheng pouted, slightly loosening his foot, his face full of black lines, looking at Lu Yunqing speechlessly.

“Cousin Yunqing, you brat!”

“When you were hitting this beast just now, you were much more ruthless than me!”

As his voice fell, Liang Cheng’s gaze inadvertently swept towards Yan Chengping, who was under his foot.

At this moment, Yan Chengping was painfully slumped on the ground, covering his crotch with both hands, curled up in agony.

When Liang Cheng’s gaze fell on Yan Chengping’s crotch, there was a faint dark wetness there.

It was unclear whether Yan Chengping had wet his pants from fright or if it was blood seeping out after being severely struck.

After all, when Lu Yunqing made his move, he showed no mercy at all.

Under the full force of Lu Yunqing, a Martial Artist of the Bone Forging Realm Major Achievement, even Liang Cheng felt a chill down his spine.

In any case, that thing between Yan Chengping’s legs was definitely stomped to a pulp by that cunning Lu Yunqing.

Lu Yunqing scratched his head awkwardly, a sheepish smile involuntarily appearing on his face.

A light breeze swept by, carrying away the cries of the mysterious man on the ground, but it couldn’t take away the strong smell of blood lingering in the air.

The figures of Su An, Liang Cheng, and Lu Yunqing appeared particularly stern under the dim lanterns.

On the ground, Yan Chengping’s pleas for mercy, mixed with cries, never stopped.

“Help! Someone help!”

Although the pleas for mercy grew weaker and weaker, Yan Chengping still desperately shouted, as if trying to grasp at a last straw.

“Murder! Murder!”

Su An glanced indifferently at Yan Chengping, then coldly uttered two words: “Take him away!”

Before the words fell, Su An’s figure swayed, turning into an afterimage, and sped away into the distance.

In a few breaths, Su An disappeared into the night at an extremely fast speed.

Liang Cheng, standing beside him, looked at Yan Chengping, who was sprawled on the ground like a dead dog, with a disgusted expression.

Then, his brows furrowed, and he muttered in a low voice: “It seems to be a bit troublesome, Cousin Yunqing!”

At this moment, Yan Chengping was covered in blood, his clothes ragged, and his face was a bloody mess, looking utterly horrific.

Liang Cheng, at this moment, couldn’t help but feel a headache—this guy was too disgusting.

There wasn’t a single intact spot on his entire body; he was covered in bloodstains, looking as if he had been fished out of a pool of blood.

If Yan Chengping could hear Liang Cheng’s thoughts at this moment, he would probably die with his eyes wide open, even if he were to die.

Isn’t this the good work of you two scoundrels!

Lu Yunqing, seeing this, also showed a look of disgust.

Then, Lu Yunqing frowned and looked around.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he pointed not far away, saying, “Brother Cheng, there’s a piece of rags over there!”

Liang Cheng looked in the direction Lu Yunqing pointed, and sure enough, he saw a dirty piece of rags in the corner.

“Perfect!”

Liang Cheng walked over quickly without hesitation, grabbed the rags, and shook off the dust.

Then, he quickly walked back to Yan Chengping’s side.

“Yan Chengping, if it weren’t for the fact that you, this beast, are still useful, this old man would have killed you long ago!”

Liang Cheng muttered angrily while wrapping Yan Chengping in the rags, tying him securely like a zongzi.

During the tying process, Liang Cheng showed no mercy; he didn’t care about Yan Chengping’s wounds at all.

Lu Yunqing watched Liang Cheng’s actions and couldn’t help but laugh, “Brother Cheng, your technique is quite skillful.”

“As expected of the famous constable of Qingyun County!”

Liang Cheng rolled his eyes and said grumpily, “Less talk!”

“Hurry up and lend a hand, carry this beast away!”

“Brother Su is still waiting for us two at the Feng Mansion!”

With that, the two of them jointly carried Yan Chengping, completely disregarding his struggles.

Although Yan Chengping was covered in blood, he was fortunately tightly wrapped in the rags, so he didn’t stain Liang Cheng’s clothes.

Liang Cheng complained as he walked, “This damned scoundrel, he looks so scrawny, how can he be so heavy!”

Lu Yunqing in front smiled and didn’t respond.

Just like that, the two of them carried Yan Chengping, quickly chasing in the direction Su An had departed.

The night was deep, and the street remained silent, with only a few dim lanterns swaying in the wind, casting the figures of the three gradually fading into the distance.

A faint smell of blood permeated the air, as if silently telling that everything that had just happened was not an illusion.

In front of a mansion covered in layers of white seals, more than a dozen people were already standing.

The mansion exuded an eerie aura, and the air was filled with a lingering smell of charring.

The dilapidated main gate was half-ajar, swaying precariously in the wind, as if it would collapse at any moment.

The white seals, plastered on the broken gate, seemed out of place, almost superfluous.

Looking closely, every person in front of this dilapidated mansion was wearing the official uniform of the county yamen, their expressions solemn and their gazes heavy.

They stood silently in front of the mansion, as if waiting for something.

Liang Cheng and Lu Yunqing slowly walked from the distant street, carrying Yan Chengping.

Yan Chengping was tightly wrapped in rags, like a lifeless corpse, gently swaying with the steps of Liang Cheng and Lu Yunqing.

Upon reaching the mansion, Liang Cheng and Lu Yunqing, with perfect tacit agreement, unceremoniously threw Yan Chengping aside.

“Bang!”

Yan Chengping’s body fell heavily to the ground with a dull thud.

The rags came undone, revealing his bloody face and blood-soaked body.

Then, Yan Chengping’s body twitched slightly, then remained motionless, as if he had already fainted.

The county yamen officers, seeing this, all showed expressions of disbelief.

Of course, among them, one official’s face showed a complex expression.

At this moment, an older-looking officer carefully stepped forward and asked in a low voice, “Master Liang, Master Lu.”

“This person… is Yan Chengping?”

Mainly, Yan Chengping was beaten so badly that even his parents wouldn’t recognize him.

Liang Cheng clapped the dust off his hands and said coldly, “That’s right, it’s this beast!”

However, just as the officer was about to speak again, Liang Cheng had no interest in listening to him.

Liang Cheng’s gaze was fixed on Yan Chengping on the ground, a cold sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.

“You bastard!”

Liang Cheng cursed in a low voice.

Then he quickly squatted down and pulled off the rags wrapped around Yan Chengping.

Yan Chengping still had his eyes tightly closed, motionless, as if he had truly fainted.

“Playing dead?”

Liang Cheng let out a mocking dry laugh, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes.

He reached into his Pregnant and pulled out an exquisite small porcelain bottle, shaking it in front of Yan Chengping, his words carrying a hint of teasing.

“Hehehe!”

“The one thing your Sir Liang Cheng has no shortage of is exactly these healing elixirs.”

As Liang Cheng spoke, he quickly opened the porcelain bottle and poured out a pill emitting a faint fragrance.

Then, Liang Cheng roughly pinched open Yan Chengping’s mouth and forcibly stuffed the pill in.

“Cough cough cough—”

Yan Chengping choked on the pill and coughed a few times, his eyelids trembling slightly, but he still didn’t open his eyes.

Seeing this, Liang Cheng’s cold sneer deepened.

He stood up, lifted his right foot, and then, without hesitation, stomped heavily on Yan Chengping’s left hand, crushing his five fingers.

“Ah—!”

A shrill scream suddenly erupted, and Yan Chengping’s body arched violently, his facial muscles twisting and deforming from the intense pain.

His left hand’s five fingers were already a bloody mess from Liang Cheng’s stomp, and the sound of bones shattering was clearly audible.

“Keep faking it!”

“Keep faking it!”

Liang Cheng’s voice was bone-chilling, and the force under his foot increased by a few points.

Yan Chengping’s screams became even more piercing, as if his throat would tear.

The officers nearby watched with trepidation but dared not step forward to stop him.

These people knew that Liang Cheng and the other two had very significant backgrounds.

Moreover, Yan Chengping, this beast, deserved his fate, and he was also a notorious flower thief that Baidao Prefecture had always offered a reward for.

In his hands, countless innocent women’s blood had been shed; he truly deserved to die.

Originally, a flower thief like Yan Chengping was far from qualified to alarm an existence like the Blackbird Guard.

But the problem was!

After the entire Feng Family was annihilated, things became extremely complex and bizarre.

After the Feng Family massacre, dozens of innocent commoners around the Feng Family mysteriously disappeared a few days later.

It was as if they had vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind.

Since it involved strange occurrences, it naturally concerned the Báidào Fǔ Xuánniǎo Wèi.

And the culprit behind all this, Yan Chengping, naturally entered the Blackbird Guard’s sight.

Lu Yunqing stood by, watching coldly, his face showing no emotion.

However, if one looked closely, one could detect a subtle strangeness in Lu Yunqing’s expression.

Lu Yunqing couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

Why do I always feel like something isn’t quite right?

This is insane!

How come my cousin Liang Cheng’s methods are not much different from those brutal corrupt officials I know?
