39: Fang Sheng falls into madness! Encounter!

"Is it really just a little bit?"

Liang Cheng looked at Lu Xuan with some suspicion; he felt that this "little bit" was a distance of a hundred and eight thousand miles.

Junling Mountain Range!

A pair of feet stepped on the lush green grass, and the morning dew clinging to the grass splashed onto the ground.

The person who arrived was Lu Xuan.

Ever since he learned from the bandit that they had a master, Lu Xuan felt a thorn in his throat.

So, early the next morning, he rushed to the Junling Mountain Range to verify if what the bandit said was true.

If it was true, then he shouldn't be blamed.

He would never allow anyone who harbored ill intentions towards the Lu family to survive in this world.

Lu Xuan looked indifferently at the continuous mountain peaks ahead, the detailed location the bandit had spoken of before his death appearing in his mind.

Without overthinking, Lu Xuan stirred his Inner Energy, his body moved, transforming into an afterimage, and disappeared among the mountains.

With the Wind Chasing Step enhanced by Inner Energy, Lu Xuan was like a tiger with wings, even facing steep and dangerous high mountains, it was as if he was walking on flat ground.

Less than half an hour after Lu Xuan left, five more figures trod the path Lu Xuan had just taken.

"Lord Li, this is the way to the depths of the Junling Mountain Range; Chieftain of Black Wind Stronghold Fang Sheng is in there."

The speaker was Chen Butou (Officer Chen), the Chief Constable of the county yamen, and the four people accompanying him were Li Yanran, her two companions, and Ye Qingxuan.

As for Ye Qingxuan, she had pestered Li Yanran to be able to come along and witness the event.

However, Ye Qingxuan could only stay outside the bandit stronghold with Chen Butou (Officer Chen) to keep watch, while Li Yanran and her two companions would enter the stronghold to deal with Chieftain of Black Wind Stronghold Fang Sheng.

Li Yanran followed Chen Butou (Officer Chen)'s gaze, scanned the Junling Mountain Range, and then said, "Chen Butou (Officer Chen), continue to lead the way, lest delays lead to complications and Fang Sheng becomes aware."

"Yes, Lord Li!"

Just as Lu Xuan and Li Yanran were heading towards the stronghold.

At this moment, Fang Sheng inside the stronghold had a gloomy expression, and the white lotus in his chest became unusually bright, emitting an evil white glow that illuminated Fang Sheng's face.

The flesh embryo on the white lotus was also much larger than before, and its beating frequency was even more intense than ever, as if it was about to burst out at any moment.

Clang!

A crisp sound of a breaking glass cup rang out, and Fang Sheng angrily swept off the teacup placed on the table.

"Useless!"

"A bunch of useless people!"

Watching the Second Master and Third Master who had not returned, Fang Sheng could no longer suppress his anger.

Fang Sheng felt the white lotus in his body rapidly absorbing his vital energy, and all the medicinal materials in the stronghold's storeroom had already been consumed by him.

The sound echoing in the stronghold's main hall caused several bandits guarding outside to rush in.

Upon seeing the anger on their Chieftain's face, these bandits immediately felt fear.

"Chieftain, the Second Master and Third Master haven't returned yet, do we need to go to Qingyun County?"

"Get out!"

When the bandits heard their Chieftain tell them to get out, they felt a sense of relief and, without any hesitation, immediately turned and walked out.

At this moment, Fang Sheng's eyes flickered with brilliant white light; upon closer inspection, a phantom white lotus even appeared in the deepest part of his pupils.

Eat!

Eat!

I want to eat!

Fang Sheng's last shred of rationality finally dissipated, his eyes burning as he looked into the distance, at the people who were walking out of the stronghold's main hall.

As his vital energy rapidly drained, an intense hunger took over, and Fang Sheng even had an incredible thought!

It was a thought that even made Fang Sheng feel afraid; he really wanted to eat those people, he really did.

So fragrant!

Fang Sheng seemed to smell a strange scent, a fragrance he had never smelled before.

It was the fragrance emanating from the people in front.

The scent of meat!

That's right, it's the scent of meat!

"Wait!"

Just as those relieved bandits were about to step out of the stronghold's main hall.

An untimely voice rang out, reaching their ears.

The bodies of these bandits instantly stiffened, and the feet they were about to step out of the stronghold's main hall were pulled back.

Because this voice came from their own Chieftain, and their relaxed hearts immediately tensed up again.

Just as these bandits were about to turn around, a figure quickly appeared behind them.

Pfft!

It was the sound of something being pierced through, seemingly accompanied by the sound of some liquid splashing out.

The bandit standing in the middle had a bewildered expression, then slowly looked down.

He saw that his body had been pierced by a shriveled arm, and the withered palm was clutching a violently beating heart.

The bandits standing next to him also noticed this sudden change and looked behind them in horror.

"Chieftain, you, you, you........."

Only then did they realize that it was their Chieftain who had done it!

Before they could even escape, Fang Sheng retracted his withered arm and then turned his gaze to the other bandits.

Fang Sheng's burning gaze was as if he was looking at delicacies on a dinner table, wanting to devour them all raw without delay.

"Chieftain, spare........."

Just as those bandits were about to beg for mercy, before their pleas were even finished, several more thudding sounds of bodies falling to the ground echoed.

At the foot of the mountain not far from the stronghold.

Lu Xuan had already arrived here; although he had the detailed location the bandit had mentioned, it was Lu Xuan's first time in the Junling Mountain Range after all.

During this time, he also got lost for a period, delaying his journey quite a bit.

Just as Lu Xuan was about to go up, suddenly, several footsteps came from not far behind him.

Lu Xuan's eyebrows slightly raised, feeling a little surprised, then he turned to look behind him.

Why were there footsteps in the deep mountains and old forests? Were they bandits? Or something else?

Looking up, what met Lu Xuan's eyes were five figures several hundred meters away, rapidly approaching him.

"Oh, it's him?"

"Chen Butou (Officer Chen), the Chief Constable of the county yamen?"

"And that woman is also a bit familiar, I seem to have seen her somewhere."

Lu Xuan had met Chen Butou (Officer Chen), the Chief Constable of the county yamen, a few times.

When his father, Lu Jiahe, celebrated his birthday, Chen Butou (Officer Chen) had come to the Lu family to express his congratulations.

Just as Lu Xuan was looking at them, the other party also noticed Lu Xuan's presence.

Lu Xuan frowned, about to hide, but realizing he had already been seen by the other side, he gave up the idea and stood still, waiting for them to approach.

"Lord Li, be careful, there's someone ahead!"

Chen Butou (Officer Chen) spotted Lu Xuan standing in the distance, and Li Yanran naturally noticed him too.

Li Yanran's beautiful eyes sized up Lu Xuan, and when the distance between them was less than ten meters.

At this moment, two exclamations rang out.

"It's you!"

"It's you, that boy from the Lu family!"
