Chapter 51: The Rise of the Storm

Daoyuan frowned in pain. His wound had not healed yet. Just now, the palm was too strong, which affected the injury. A trace of blood oozed out of the wound that had just been scarred.

"Boss, are you okay?" Lei Luo saw that his mistake was wrong and hurriedly supported him.

"I'm fine, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's leave quickly."

Fortunately, it is ruined and there are few people here, otherwise it would be really troublesome.

...

...

After finding two sedan chairs, he carried Daoyuan and the mistress outside the city lord's mansion. Before he could enter the door, Rou'er ran out anxiously.

"Where are you going? Why are you back so late? I'm really worried about something happening to you! Hey? Brother Daoyuan, what's wrong with you? And the mistress, why are you so hurt so much!"

Lei Luo said: "Because of me, the boss's injury has recurred, and the mistress is also seriously injured, so we brought him here with him. Rouer, the city lord won't mind, right?"

"What's this! Come on, come in and talk about it."

Rou'er held Daoyuan, Lei Luo stood up with his mistress, and the four of them walked in slowly.

When he returned to the guest room, Rou'er saw that they looked wrong and looked silent, and asked, "What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

Seeing that the three of them didn't answer, Rou'er became more and more anxious: "Don't scare me, okay? Brother Daoyuan, tell me what happened?"

Daoyuan sighed: "The brothers you have met in Wufeng Tower were all killed by Lu Chengding. The mistress was lucky and saved her life."

"Ah!? Why is this happening!"

Rou'er covered her mouth and said in disbelief: "Have you found out? If there is evidence, I will tell my father and let him arrest someone."

Daoyuan shook his head: "There is no evidence, and the mistress is the party involved. Naturally, he will not lie to us, but his words cannot be used as evidence, so we have no choice yet."

"The Lu family is so hateful! I must tell my father about this and let him find a way to bring them to justice!"

Rou'er's personality is as gentle as water, calm and uncontact, and she will not get angry easily. It seems that she is really angry this time.

Lei Luo was speechless and helped his mistress to rest in another room.

In the following days, Lei Luo rarely walked out of the room. While taking good care of his mistress, he worked hard to speed up his cultivation and improve himself. Daoyuan knew his intentions and gave him a piece of colorful stone the size of a fist to help him improve.

According to the list listed by Dr. Xun, Xiao Bufan finally purchased some medicinal materials. Unfortunately, although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained in these medicines is not lacking, it is too rare to meet the standards at all. In desperation, he had to send additional personnel again to search for a farther and more remote place.

Early this morning, a news that shocked the people in the city came: a wealthy family was wiped out overnight, and more than a hundred people from all over the family were spared and all were killed. Not only were the property in the family looted, but the house was also set on fire by the murderer. The raging fire illuminated half of Yunxiao City. Commander Gao led hundreds of soldiers to fight the fire for the middle of the night before finally controlling the fire to prevent the continued spread of the fire.

A burnt and pungent, disgusting smell spread over the entire Yunxiao City and never dissipated for a long time.

Although the family who was killed was not a great family, they were not very good, and had good reputations on weekdays and had good popularity. However, they didn't know why they offended the murderer and ended up like this.

While everyone sighed, they naturally hated and scolded the perpetrators, especially those families that were similar to them, and were even more frightened and afraid that the disaster would come from the sky and endanger themselves.

The young city lord Xiao Tiandang personally led someone to investigate the matter and find clues, but everything was swallowed up by the ruthless fire, without any trace, and there was no way to investigate.

A few days later, when the matter gradually became dull, two more families in the city were tragically killed, and their methods were exactly the same, they killed all the people and stolen their property and set fire to the house.

Xiao Bufan was furious and ordered the soldiers guarding the city gate to strictly investigate and not let go of any suspicious person. At the same time, he sent people to patrol and search the city continuously, and it was necessary to arrest the murderer as soon as possible and bring it to justice.

For a moment, people in Yunxiao City were unstable and everyone was in panic.

These news naturally reached Daoyuan's ears.

That night, he and Lei Luo's third son sat in the yard to talk about this matter. It is worth mentioning that after these days of hard work, Lei Luo finally broke through to the spiritual gathering realm with the help of the colorful stones.

Daoyuan was afraid that his haste would not reach the limit and could not reach it, so he pulled him out to relax and also gave him some advice on his practice.

The three of them sat on the ground in front of the moonlight and chatted until late at night. Just when they were about to go back to their room to rest, they heard a vague sound of fighting in the distance.

"Is something happened again?" Daoyuan frowned slightly and looked in the sound.

"It's very likely!" Lei Luo said: "There are so chaos in the city these days. Something happened to those aristocratic families and the murderer was out of trouble, which made the Lord Xiao and his son flawless. They were under a lot of pressure, but they couldn't find any clues. It was really annoying!"

Daoyuan thought to himself, "Yes, if the murderer is not caught, I'm afraid the people will question the ability of City Lord Xiao. If they are used by someone who is interested, they may even be alarmed! We have lived here for these days, so what should we do for him."

"Boss, do you mean...Let's go out and have a look?"

"Well, but it's not us, but myself."

"How can that be done!" Lei Luo thrust: "I heard that the murderers are very strong. If they really meet them, you can't handle it alone. Moreover, Jin'er and Rou'er are now with him and cannot come. Let's go together so that they can take care of each other."

Daoyuan knew that he had just made a breakthrough and was eager to try, but his strength was still too low and he was not sure, so how could he let him take the risk?

"No need, I just went to see it, and I might not have to fight with people. If you follow me, if you encounter danger, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you!"

"If there is really danger, wouldn't you worry me even more! Go back and ask why I told her! No, no, or don't go, let's go together if you want to go! Besides, shouldn't I do something for the city lord?"

"Oh! OK, but remember, listen to me and don't do anything."

"No problem!" As soon as Daoyuan agreed, Lei Luo nodded quickly.

After asking the mistress a few words, the two of them went straight up the wall without going through the main entrance. With the protection of the night, they quietly ran towards the place where the sound came.

After crossing a street, he walked forward for another period. The sound of fighting came clearly. Daoyuan winked at Lei Luo. The two of them lowered their bodies, hid in the shadow of the building, and carefully touched them.

Under the hazy moonlight, three masked men in black were fighting fiercely with an old man with white hair and beard. The sword lights were everywhere in the field, and countless dust was thrust up, and the sound of shouting was endless.
