50: Gloomy and terrifying Lu Xuan!

"Xiao Xuan, you..."

Liang Shanhai looked at Lu Xuan, who seemed like a different person before him, and was greatly shocked.

At the same time, there was an invisible oppressive force that made him feel suffocated.

How is this possible!

How could Xiao Xuan possess such a powerful aura?

It could even make him, a Marrow Refinement Realm martial artist, tremble and lose all thought of resistance.

"Uncle, thank you for your trouble today. I'll take my leave first!"

At this moment, Lu Xuan had no intention of concealing his strength. He instantly transformed into an afterimage and fled out of the storeroom door!

"This..."

Liang Shanhai hadn't even reacted yet, and Lu Xuan, who had been sitting before him, had already vanished.

"Is that an afterimage?"

"Xiao Xuan, just how strong has he become?"

Reflected deep within Liang Shanhai's pupils was a faint and blurry afterimage, left behind by Lu Xuan just as he departed.

Lu Family Main Hall!

At this moment, the courtyard outside the main hall was already filled with many members of the Lu family, and the main hall itself was crowded with people, blocking the entrance tightly.

Just then, a figure swept through the air from above, then landed on the ground with practiced ease.

It was Lu Xuan, who had rushed back from the county yamen, exerting his full strength the entire way.

The moment Lu Xuan landed, the people gathered in the courtyard all reacted.

"The Young Master is back!"

"Xuan Ge!"

"Big Brother!"

Lu Xuan's face was terrifyingly grim, like dark clouds before a thunderstorm, making people feel awe-struck!

The crowd blocking the doorway, upon seeing Lu Xuan, all instinctively cleared a path.

Lu Xuan ignored the people around him and strode quickly towards the door.

Upon entering the room, Lu Xuan found it filled with people he knew very well.

However, Lu Xuan paid them little attention, instead looking towards a specific spot.

On the bed in the room, Lu Jiahe was sitting up, leaning against the wall, with several people standing by the bed.

Lu Jiahe seemed to be fine, though his face was a bit pale, as if he was still shaken, and his chest was wrapped in white cloth.

Upon seeing Lu Jiahe, Lu Xuan's tense heart finally relaxed.

"Yunqing, is Uncle Mingzhong alright?"

"Father, he's fine. I've already given Uncle Mingzhong the remaining antidote."

"That's good."

Lu Jiahe felt relieved upon hearing that Blacksmith Li Mingzhong was fine. Just as he was about to say something else, Lu Xuan had already bypassed the crowd and arrived before him.

"Father, are you alright?"

It wasn't until Lu Xuan suddenly appeared before Lu Jiahe that the people in the room realized his presence.

This was because their attention had been entirely focused on Lu Jiahe, and they hadn't noticed Lu Xuan's arrival.

Lu Yunqing and Lu Yunfeng, who were standing by Lu Jiahe's bed, quickly made way upon seeing that the newcomer was Lu Xuan.

"Big Brother!"

"Mm!"

Lu Xuan responded to his two younger brothers, then stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Lu Xuan, I'm fine, you don't need to worry."

Lu Jiahe's complexion seemed to improve upon seeing Lu Xuan.

"Father, your son is unfilial."

When Lu Xuan saw the wound on Lu Jiahe's chest up close, a strange light flickered in his eyes, and rampant killing intent filled the depths of his pupils.

How dare some ants try to kill his father!

Then, without waiting for Lu Jiahe to reply, Lu Xuan extended a large hand and placed it on Lu Jiahe's shoulder.

With a thought in Lu Xuan's mind, he activated the Inner Energy within his body, and gentle Inner Energy flowed from Lu Xuan's palm into Lu Jiahe's body.

The gentle Inner Energy, controlled by Lu Xuan, circulated within Lu Jiahe's body, continuously nourishing him.

Inner Energy is the essence of heaven and earth. While it cannot prolong life, it can certainly accelerate the healing of ordinary injuries.

In a short while, Lu Jiahe's complexion visibly improved at a rapid pace.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan then withdrew the large hand he had placed on Lu Jiahe's shoulder.

"Lu Xuan, you..."

Lu Jiahe felt the changes in his body and looked at Lu Xuan with some disbelief.

What kind of power is this, that it can even affect the human body?

Lu Jiahe had been practicing medicine for most of his life, but he had never seen anything so miraculous.

Of course, Lu Jiahe didn't dwell on this question for too long.

No matter what realm of martial arts Lu Xuan had cultivated to, he was still his son.

"Lu Xuan, I'm fine now."

"Fortunately, Mingzhong risked his life to save me, and a passing female martial artist also lent a hand, which saved me from this disaster!"

"Female martial artist?"

Although Lu Xuan was a bit puzzled, he didn't directly question Lu Jiahe.

"Your son understands, Father. Please rest first. Your son will surely thank the other party on behalf of the Lu family for their life-saving grace!"

Immediately, Lu Xuan stood up, looked behind him, and calmly spoke: "Liang Cheng, come with me."

"Yunqing, Yunfeng, you two take good care of Father."

In Lu Xuan's courtyard.

"Speak. Who did this!"

Lu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his face expressionless; no one could discern his current mood.

Facing Lu Xuan's inquiry, he then spoke, "Xuan Ge, those assailants are still unconscious."

"However, I've already brought all of them back to the county yamen.

If it weren't for being in plain sight, I would have chopped those beasts to death long ago."

"Don't worry, Xuan Ge, the county yamen's jail is my territory. I'll take good care of those beasts and make sure they reveal the mastermind!"

At this point, a fierce glint appeared in Liang Cheng's eyes.

Damn it!

These damned beasts, how dare they try to kill his uncle? When I get back to the county yamen, I'll make those beasts regret ever coming into this world.

"Oh, right, Xuan Ge, there's one more thing!"

"Today, when I was rushing to assist my uncle, Huang Wen, the county yamen constable who I've always been at odds with, deliberately delayed me on the way."

"I suspect he's definitely involved in this matter!"

"Also, Huang Wen is the son of County Magistrate County Lieutenant Huang Yangping."

After listening to Liang Cheng's words, Lu Xuan had already made a decision in his heart.

"Who was the female martial artist who saved my father?"

Liang Cheng shook his head at this point and said, "Xuan Ge, I don't know who she is either."

"However, I once saw her at the county yamen with the Chief Constable, and the Chief Constable referred to her as Lord Li!"

"It seems she came from the prefecture, called something like Blackbird Guard?"

Li?

Blackbird Guard?

Upon hearing 'Blackbird Guard,' a figure flashed in Lu Xuan's mind.

It's her! Li Yanran!

...

Late at night!

Outside the county yamen, a figure slowly approached from a distance, stopping by the county yamen's wall.

It was Lu Xuan!

Lu Xuan had no interest in letting others deal with the ants who dared to assassinate his father.

Coincidentally, Lu Xuan planned to kill all those who were detrimental to the Lu family before leaving the county.
