With Lu Ping'an's speed, it is not difficult to catch up with those two little minions.

But the trouble is that those two guys still have brains and know how to run separately.

In this way, no matter how fast Lu Ping'an is, it is estimated that he will not be able to catch the two of them at the same time.

But just as the two of them had just gone far apart, a long stick suddenly flew out in front of one of them.

Bang!

The man was knocked into the air and fell to the ground spitting blood.

Lu Ping'an knew that it was Shi Hao coming, and immediately ran towards another person.

After a while, the man died under the sword wind, and Lu Ping'an didn't even look at it before turning back.

When Shi Hao saw Lu Ping'an coming back alone, he knew that he had killed that guy, and asked, "Is this going to be killed too?"

"Kill. ”

Lu Ping'an said, his footsteps did not stop, and he walked towards the cave in front of him.

Although Zhao Tianhua was forced out early in the morning, Lu Ping'an was still worried about Guo Lanying's situation.

When I walked in, Guo Lanying was unconscious, lying on a big rock with some messy clothes.

Lu Ping'an's heart sank slightly, and when he got closer, he found that there was no trace of the clothes in the inner layer of clothes, so he was completely relieved.

But Guo Lanying's face had some more scars, which were obviously not injured when she hunted demons before, but were beaten by Zhao Tianhua.

Lu Ping'an frowned tightly and said fiercely: "I stabbed that bastard to death with a sword just now, it's really cheap for him!"

"Brother Lu, is Sister Ying okay?"

Shi Hao also followed in and asked.

"It's okay, let's go out first. ”

With that, Lu Ping'an picked up Guo Lanying and left the cave.

......

"It's all my fault, if I had been more resolute and didn't let them follow, the rest of the story wouldn't have happened. ”

After Guo Lanying woke up, she learned what happened, and said with self-blame.

Lu Ping'an said: "Sister Ying, what you said is not right, you are also trying to help me hunt the Purple Thunder Lion, so that your spiritual power will be exhausted, so that the dog thief will have a chance." ”

Shi Hao said: "Okay, don't fight, this matter has happened, no matter what the consequences are, we have to bear it together." ”

Lu Ping'an said: "No, I killed the person, and the Iron Knife Gang will investigate it, and I will be responsible." ”

"No way!"

Guo Lanying and Shi Hao blurted out at the same time.

Then, Guo Lanying said again: "You don't treat us as friends?"

Shi Hao said: "That's it, this is too unrighteous, how can we let you bear it alone!"

Lu Ping'an smiled helplessly, knowing that he couldn't convince these two guys.

"Okay, even if the sky falls, we'll carry it together, it's all right?"

Guo Lanying and the two nodded in agreement.

Having said that, how to face the Iron Knife Gang in the future, the three of them have to think about it in the long run.

Although the Iron Sword Gang cannot be compared with the three major forces in Tongning City, according to Guo Lanying, the gang leader is a strong man in the Yuanwu Realm, which should not be underestimated.

The three of them thought about it, but after all, they didn't discuss a feasible way, and in the face of absolute strength, any strategy seemed a bit redundant.

What's more, at that time in the city, many people saw the scene where Zhao Tianhua took his little brother and followed Lu Ping'an and the three of them left.

Therefore, Zhao Tianhua's death, the three of them are washed no matter what

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Those who do not get away with the crime.

In the end, Guo Lanying said: "Then we can only take one step at a time, and go back to the Demon Slaying Society first, at least in that place, the people of the Iron Knife Gang dare not mess around." ”

Lu Ping'an asked, "But didn't Zhao Tianhua say that the gang leader and the president are good brothers?"

Guo Lanying frowned slightly, and said: "It's true that the two of them have some friendship, but as for whether they have reached the level of good brothers, I really don't know." However, I'm also a hunter who has been a member of the Demon Slayer Society for many years, so the president shouldn't do too much. ”

Shi Hao said: "Then let's go back first, we can't stay in this forest all the time." ”

Lu Ping'an didn't speak, in fact, it was really a last resort, he could still move the master out to save his life.

But he knew very well that Yan Laoba was looking for someone, so in order not to startle the snake, he could only keep a low profile, and once he was allowed to make a move, he was afraid that it would be a big deal.

Therefore, Lu Ping'an can only act at the opportunity and try to rely on his own ability to solve this big trouble.

This time for demon hunting, the three of them completed the number of beast cores needed for the task.

For Lu Ping'an personally, it was a huge gain, and before leaving, he didn't forget to scrape the storage bags of Zhao Tianhua and others.

Those little minions didn't have anything, but Zhao Tianhua still had a lot of valuable things in his bag.

It's just that in the atmosphere of a strong crisis, they don't have the heart to be happy because they have made an extra sum of money.

......

Back at the branch of the Demon Slaying Society, Lu Ping'an and the three of them directly handed over the task items, that is, the six red flower python cores.

After Steward Liu checked that it was correct, he issued them the corresponding bounty.

However, when they got the money, they didn't even have a smile, and even their faces were gloomy, which was unusual.

Steward Liu was puzzled, looked at the notice of the assignment again, and said, "The reward for this task is not low, and I didn't send you a small amount of money, why is your face unhappy, what happened?"

Hearing the question, Lu Ping'an and the three of them glanced at each other and decided that Guo Lanying would talk about the matter.

Although Steward Liu works at the counter, he is also the chief manager of this branch.

If Lu Ping'an and the others want to get the protection of the Demon Slaying Society, they must explain the truth to Steward Liu.

Guo Lanying looked around and said, "It's not very convenient here......

Steward Liu was stunned, probably guessing that this matter was not so simple, so he took the three of them to a small hall at the back.

"Say it. ”

Guo Lanying said: "We killed Zhao Tianhua. ”

Steward Liu's face changed suddenly, and he exclaimed, "What? Don't you want to live?"

Subsequently, Guo Lanying told the cause and effect again.

Steward Liu was silent for a long time, and said: "If the truth is as you said, then Zhao Tianhua really deserves death, but the Iron Knife Gang will not reason with you, usually passing by and glaring, they all feel that they are provoking, and now that you have killed the gangsters, you can imagine how angry they will be." ”

Guo Lanying said: "Then what if you ask the president to come forward and administer justice for us?"

Steward Liu said: "If you provoke others, the president may be willing to come out and say a few words, but he has an old relationship with the leader of the Iron Knife Gang, and this is another revenge for killing his son, I guess he won't help you......"

The Demon Slayer Society is not a traditional sect, but a free organization similar to a platform, and it is more like a cooperative relationship with hunters.

Therefore, when the hunters get into trouble, the demon slaying will not be responsible

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

any of them shall be protected.

Even if it really helps, it depends on feelings or interests.

Correspondingly, if something happens to the demon slayer one day, not necessarily many hunters will be willing to come forward.

And listening to Steward Liu's tone, let alone helping, as long as he can remain neutral and not stand on the side of the Iron Sword Gang, it will be considered benevolent and righteous.

Lu Ping'an and the three of them were silent, each thinking about it.

Steward Liu sighed and said, "Leaving Tongning City and avoiding the edge for the time being may be your best choice at the moment." ”

Guo Lanying said in a deep voice: "I grew up here, and it is impossible for me to leave. ”

Steward Liu stared at her and said, "If you don't leave, you may die!" That guy is a Yuanwu Realm cultivator, the three of you are not his opponent combined, not to mention that he has a large group of gang brothers...... Lan Ying, listen to me, let's go!"

Lu Ping'an and Shi Hao are not from Tongning City, they just think that this is a place of training.

But Guo Lanying is different, she has a deep affection for this place and is unwilling to leave like this.

But she also knew that Steward Liu's advice was well-intentioned and reasonable.

Guo Lanying hesitated for a moment, as if she had made a certain decision, her lips opened slightly, and she wanted to say something.

At this moment, Lu Ping'an said, "Let's go to Yanxia Villa." ”

As soon as these words came out, the three people in the audience all looked at Lu Ping'an with a look of surprise.

Shi Hao said: "Brother Lu, even if you promised us before that you would invite us to Yanxia Villa when you came back, but now...... It's not quite right, is it?"

Lu Ping'an said: "It's only right now, because the Iron Knife Gang will never dare to make trouble there." ”

Guo Lanying asked, "You mean, let us go there to avoid the limelight? But that is not a long-term solution after all, once the money is spent, we will still be kicked out." ”

"I don't dare say anything else, but at least I can guarantee that we won't be driven away, so let's hide there for a while and then slowly figure out how to find a way. ”

Lu Ping'an still didn't want Yan Laoba to make a move, but just wanted to use the prestige of Yanxia Villa to delay time.

Even if Yanxia Villa didn't do anything, the Iron Knife Gang wouldn't dare to go in and arrest people.

In this way, the safety of the three of them can be guaranteed without affecting Yan Laoba and Ouyang Xia's search for someone.

Steward Liu asked, "Could it be...... Do you know anyone in the lodge?"

Lu Ping'an said: "That's right. ”

Steward Liu said: "Then this is a good delaying strategy, at least it can give you enough time to think about it." ”

Lu Ping'an said: "Without further ado, let's go now." ”

Guo Lanying and Shi Hao believed in Lu Ping'an very much, nodded, and several people walked out together.

However, as soon as they walked to the courtyard outside, they saw a middle-aged man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, with a fierce and vicious face, giving people a feeling of arrogance and recklessness.

Lu Ping'an and Shi Hao didn't recognize this person, but Guo Lanying was shocked when she saw this, and gasped.

Lu Ping'an noticed Guo Lanying's strange appearance and asked in a low voice, "...... is he?"

Guo Lan said solemnly in English: "The leader of the Iron Knife Gang, Zhao Shengrong." ”

Lu Ping'an's heart sank, and he said: "This is really a narrow road!"

Steward Liu never expected that this guy would suddenly appear here, "Let's go, I'll take you out the back door." ”

Before the words fell, before Lu Ping'an and the others turned around, they heard Zhao Shengrong shouting: "Niece Lan Ying, come over for a moment." ”
