"My lord, we have arrived at ......" Wang San led the group across the Rongjiang River to a hidden cave under the mountains.

"It's not like it's a place where people can live. Wang San, you're not lying to me, are you? ”

Wang San was so frightened that he begged for mercy again and again: "The little one doesn't dare!" This cave leads to the valley inside, and Bai Jiujiang lives in the valley! ”

Lin Xi nodded thoughtfully: "Lead the way." ”

"Yes, yes......" Although Wang San was afraid, his mind was still not very honest. Others walked in front, and secretly looked behind them from time to time, paying attention to Lin Xi's movements.

Finally, when he walked into a wide area, Wang San's eyes lit up.

"It's strange, why is this place so wide, isn't it ......" Lin Xi thought to himself, but Wang San suddenly ran up and rushed forward, and everyone didn't react for a while.

"Bang" Wang San hit the button with his head, and even though he was about to flee to the depths of the cave, Lin Xi, who was reacting, flew out of his long sword and pierced his throat with a sword.

The sound of "boom" bursts, Lin Xi looked overhead, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Stick to both sides of the cave and protect your heads!"

Things were as Lin Xi expected, in the blink of an eye, the boulders fell like raindrops, Lin Xi was shocked, and he used his internal strength, and the fist wind passed everywhere, and the stones were all shattered.

"Oops!" A boulder slammed into Yanshou's feet, causing Yanshou to scream subconsciously.

Lin Xi turned around suddenly, and another boulder was falling rapidly above Yanshou's head.

Yanshou looked at the top of his head, and he could only see the boulder rolling down, getting bigger and bigger, and his heart was cold.

At the critical moment, Lin Xi picked up his life extension and turned around twice, which was able to avoid the boulder above his head.

Lin Xi put Yanshou beside Guanyin, and simply said, "Guanyin, be careful!" ”

Yanshou nervously shrunk in Guanyin's arms, and I don't know how long it took, until the surrounding sounds stopped......

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Lin Xi coughed.

"Lin Xi!"

Lin Xi stood in the middle of the cave, barely standing upright, he had consumed too much strength just now.

Yanshou was about to rush over worriedly, but was stopped by Lin Xi: "Don't come!" ”

Guanyin dragged it back to extend his life, and Lin Xi's voice was a little softer: "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." There may be a mechanism here, let's walk slowly and gather again when we have walked this way......"

"Okay."

After walking for a while, Lin Xi finally saw a little sunlight penetrating into the cave.

"It's almost there!"

"Let's go!"

The point of light at the entrance of the cave was getting bigger and bigger, and Lin Xi unconsciously walked faster and faster.

Finally, everyone rushed out of the cave, and Lin Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the ground.

"Lin Xi!"

Lin Xi smiled: "I'm fine, prolong my life...... It's just tired. Is everyone hurt? ”

"Don't worry," Guanyin said, "I just asked, everyone is fine." ”

"It's okay, it's okay......"

"You really don't want to die," Yu Yutang walked over with some surprise, and rarely took the initiative to hand over the water bag: "Do you want to drink saliva?" ”

"Ahem, thank you." Lin Xi also took the water bag unceremoniously and drank it with a bang.

Lin Xi wiped the corners of his mouth and stood up: "Okay, take a break, be refreshed, and walk!" ”

The surrounding trees are lush and green, and a winding path zigzags forward.

Yanshou took Lin Xi's hand and said as he walked: "It's so hidden here, it's really hard to imagine that there are people hidden inside." ”

Lin Xi joked: "People with a little ability always have some quirks - like living in seclusion in the mountains and forests." ”

Lu Hongzhao was behind and quietly bit his ears with his younger brother Lu Hongyu.

"Brother, we're going to meet Bai Jiujiang later."

"Yes, after many years of grudges, it's time to settle it."

At this time, Lin Xi's voice came from the front: "Don't worry, Sister Lu, if you can, I will let you kill him with your own hands." ”

Lu Hongzhao said: "I don't have the luxury of killing him with my own hands, but if I can, I will definitely do it." ”

"Look—"

In the middle of the forest, an inconspicuous house stands quietly.

"I have a hunch that he should be there."

The wooden door gradually opened—the dimly lit hut was empty, except for a desk, behind which was a large Buddha, on which were burning three pillars of incense, two short and one long, about to burn out.

A white-haired old man sat cross-legged at the table, and everything behind him seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Lin Xi quickly drew his long sword and crossed it in front of him, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" ”

The old man didn't respond, he didn't seem to hear.

"Who are you?" Lin Xi raised his voice.

The old man's ears moved, and he slowly stood up.

When he turned around completely, Lin Xi saw his face clearly-

There is not much vicissitudes on this face, but he looks like he is in his thirties, but for some reason, his beard and hair are all white, like an octogenarian.

At this time, behind Lin Xi, there were two people who were indescribably shocked.

"Daddy?!" A man and a woman, two trembling voices came.

Lin Xi also looked back in shock.

"Sister Lu, is this your father?"

From Lu Hongzhao's shocked look, Lin Xi had roughly confirmed that this was true.

But the man in front of him looked at most thirty years old, and he didn't look like the father of the two, but like the same age.

The two siblings were so sure that they rushed forward in surprise.

"Dad, it's really you! You're alive! Lu Hongyu couldn't hide her joy and hugged the man excitedly.

"I'm still alive......"

"Lu Chaozong" looked at the two of them with some surprise and slowly spoke.

Hearing the man's voice, Lu Hongzhao's heart tightened, and a tear suddenly slipped from the corner of his eyes: "Dad!" ”

Not only Lin Xi, but others were also shocked.

Looking at the reactions of the two, there is no doubt that the person in front of them is their father, but ......

Lin Xi always felt a little weird.

Lu Hongzhao and Lu Hongyu were full of joy, and they were already immersed in the joy of the reunion of father and son.

"Dad, Hongyu and I thought you died in the Heavenly Star Sect, what happened in the past ten years?"

"It's a long story......"

Lu Hongzhao wiped the tears on his face and said happily to his father: "It's okay, Dad, let's talk slowly." ”

Lu Hongzhao turned around and was about to introduce Lin Xi to his father.

"Dad, I'll tell you......"

In an instant, Lu Hongzhao's smile froze on his face, and turned into endless shock.

Lu Hongyu didn't turn around, presumably he was the same.

The two short swords pierced the chests and backs of the Lu family sisters and brothers at the same time.

And the person who attacked with a short sword was none other than Lu Chaozong, who was white-haired and showed a strange smile.

At the scene in front of him, Lin Xi was also completely stunned, and he didn't even react for a while--in the end, it was still Yanshou who screamed, and Lin Xifei stepped forward to take the two of them.

Lu Hongzhao's trembling voice could not hide his horror: "Dad...... You're my dad...... Right? ”

Lu Chaozong showed a meaningful expression: "Silly boy, of course I'm your father-"

The blood at the corners of his mouth and the tears at the corners of his eyes slid down together, and Lu Hongzhao's eyes were full of disbelief: "For... Why...... You're going to kill... I? ”

Lin Xi asked in a deep voice: "They are your own son and daughter, why are you doing this?!" ”

Lu Chaozong smiled and took out the third long sword: "Of course it's because of the past." ”

There was a faint sneer from the Golden Buddha, and a white-haired man with the same young appearance slowly walked out from behind the Golden Buddha—

Lu Hongzhao saw the man's face, pointed his fingers at him in horror, and shouted with trembling in his mouth: "Yes... It's you! ”

Lu Chaozong smiled slightly: "Let me introduce, this is my junior brother-Bai Jiujiang." ”

Lu Chaozong's word was enough to shock everyone present.

"Bai Jiujiang?" Lin Xi asked, "Nine Tribulation Palace Lord Bai Jiujiang?" ”

Bai Jiujiang looked at Lin Xi, who was surprised, "What, isn't it like that?" ”

"Counting the age, Lu Chaozong Bai Jiujiang should be at least fifty years old, you two don't look like each other at all."

"Huh?" Lu Chaozong Bai Jiujiang glanced at each other and laughed: "Lin Gongzi is still too young to see it, don't worry, we will let you understand." ”

After that, Bai Jiujiang pulled out a dried corpse from behind the Buddha with one hand and threw it in front of Lin Xi's eyes.

Lin Xi looked at the shriveled, thin and bloodless corpse, and wondered, "What does this mean?" ”

"Isn't that what you're here for?"

Lin Xi's pupils were shocked: "This is the ordinary people you kidnapped?" ”

"How clever! It is their blood that makes our appearance stop aging! ”

Lin Xi asked again: "More than ten years ago, the Nine Tribulation Palace Heaven Destroying Star Sect was a play performed by the two of you?" ”

"Not bad."

The Lu family sisters and brothers were so shocked that they couldn't say a word.

remembered the family feud for more than ten years, but in the end it turned out to be a play; The father who respected and loved him turned into a demon in an instant.

Bai Jiujiang explained as if showing off: "The two of us found an ancient secretary in the ancestral tomb more than ten years ago, but in a hurry, the two of us couldn't understand the content of the book at all, so we performed the big drama of the Nine Tribulations Palace Heaven Destroying Star Sect, so that the senior brother and I successfully went into hiding, so as to study this ancient secretary secretly."

Finally, a year later, we found a way to suck the blood of living people to increase our internal strength, and we have been on this path ever since. ”

Lin Xi suddenly remembered something: "The bloodsucking demon case that shook the Northwest Dao three years ago was done by the two of you?" ”

Bai Jiujiang and Lu Chaozong glanced at each other, a little carried away: "I really can't imagine that someone can still remember our brother's great achievements!" ”

Lin Xi continued: "As far as I know, the official army of that big case dispatched thousands of people, and finally surrounded and killed the vampire demons. ”

"The two of us were indeed surrounded and suppressed by the official army, but we did not die - the two of us were seriously wounded and fled to Western Xia, where we met some powerful friends, including Lord Liu, of course."

"Liu Yingming? In this way, everything you do here is Liu Yingming just you? ”

Lu Chaozong nodded: "Exactly, we will wait for the agreement, the kidnapped babies will belong to us, the adult men and women will draw one, and the rest will all be handed over to Liu Yingming." ”

"It seems that you don't need to tell me this."

"Of course, I'm telling you so much today to tell you that you can't leave."

"Just the two of you?"

"Of course not—"

As the words fell, a chaotic sound of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the house. Lin Xi pricked up his ears, there seemed to be dozens or hundreds of people.

"Extend your life, take care of their siblings, the others - go out and stop the people outside."

"Lin Xi, what about you?"

"There are some things that I have to do!"
