The Heavens Begin with Detective Di Renjie

Chapter 174 The Dust Settles
The victory and defeat were decided, and Hua Manlou's reaction was very quick. He immediately summoned the servants who were waiting in the distance, and ordered them to take the Mu Taoist who was seriously injured down to resettle him.

After Mu Taoist's true energy was cut to pieces by Shen Youzhi's Dao sword, he completely lost the power of self-protection, and he took Shen You's palm with his old body, causing many bones and muscles in his body to be damaged and broken.

The older a person is, the more blood energy will be deficient, and the body's resilience will naturally be worse.

At Taoist Mu's current age, there is not much energy and blood left in his body, and it is absolutely impossible to recover his mobility without training for a few months.

In a few months, no matter how slow Lu Xiaofeng's actions were, it would be enough to wipe out the Ghost Villa completely.

"Your slap is not light."

Seeing Mu Taoist who had lost the ability to move and was carried down by several servants, Shi Xiuxue couldn't help but click her tongue.

"Don't worry, I won't die." Shen Youzhi said.

His control over his own strength has already reached the level of "delicacy". Since he has no intention of killing Mu Taoist, he will never use any extra strength.

"It's cold at night, I think it's better to go back and talk about it first." Hua Manlou suggested.

Although they are all martial arts practitioners, after all not all of them have the strong physique of Shen Youzhi.

This autumn's cool wind mixed with the humidity of the river, it really didn't feel good to hit people.

Therefore, everyone had nothing to say about Hua Manlou's proposal.

In this way, a group of four embarked on the return journey and gradually disappeared on the river bank.

A few days later, Shen Youzhi and Gongsun Lan bid farewell to Huamanlou after finishing their repairs, and continued northward to return home.

As for Taoist Mu, because of his severe injuries, he could only be forced to stay here and receive recuperation.

One month later, Xiaolou
Lu Xiaofeng, who hadn't seen him for a long time, walked in here with high spirits, not only raised his head high, but also had a smug expression on his face.

Obviously, he must be very proud in his heart now.

No matter who it is, if they can lead the dozen or so most powerful sects in the world and let them work together to do one thing, they will become as excited and proud as Lu Xiaofeng is now.

This is a wonderful experience that only "power" can bring, as if as long as you move your fingers, everything can be as you wish.

Lu Xiaofeng, who has always been carefree, finally understands why so many people want to be emperor, and why it is said that "power" is a poison that people cannot extricate themselves from.

But he is different from ordinary people. Although he has experienced the ultimate sense of control, he is not addicted to it.

Because he is not only lazy, but also very lazy, and it is not easy to be diligent once in a while. If he is surrounded and guarded by people all his life, he is afraid that he will go crazy.

"It seems that your business is going well."

Shen Youzhi looked at the enthusiastic Lu Xiaofeng and said softly.

"Although it's not all smooth sailing, the result is not satisfactory." Lu Xiaofeng said proudly.

Although, as expected, many members of the Ghost Villa escaped from the encirclement, at least most of the members have been wiped out.

What Lu Xiaofeng didn't expect was that almost all the members there were once "notorious" scum of the world.

For example, the "Five Arhats" who joined forces to assassinate Abbot Dabei many years ago and betrayed Shaolin, and Dugumei, who raped his niece and daughter-in-law, nicknamed "Six Relatives Don't Recognize", and the head of the Criminal Hall of the underworld 72 Village in the past, known as "the hot hand". "Chasing Soul" Du Tiexin and so on and so on.

These people are all notorious gangsters, and some of them even disappeared from the rivers and lakes more than ten years ago, but unexpectedly they all gathered in that mysterious ghost villa.

From those people's mouths, Lu Xiaofeng also knew the real owner of the ghost villa - the old knife handle.

"I came to you this time to confirm one thing." Lu Xiaofeng looked at Shen Youzhi, and said cautiously: "The old sword is Taoist Mu, right?"

This kind of words about other people's reputation should not be easily listened to, let alone exported, and only here, Lu Xiaofeng would say it without any scruples.

"Ye Lingfeng told you?"

Shen Youzhi had no intention of covering it up for Taoist Mu, his rhetorical question already answered Lu Xiaofeng's question.

"That's right." Lu Xiaofeng nodded, and said, "At that time, the large army had already withdrawn, but I just happened to find some clues. Halfway through the investigation, I was stopped by him who rushed out suddenly."

Afterwards, Lu Xiaofeng found out that the road he followed was exactly the direction Ye Ling was escaping from.

"So what are you going to do?" Shen Youzhi continued to ask.

"I don't plan to do anything." Lu Xiaofeng replied like this: "It's hard for an honest official to take care of housework, not to mention, I'm not even a ninth-rank Zhima official."

In the old affairs between Taoist Mu and Ye Lingfeng, it is really hard to tell who is right and who is wrong, and he is not an unselfish judge, so he doesn't bother to care about other people's affairs.

If Shi Yanli, the head of Wudang, had not invited him to investigate the ghost villa, he would not have gotten involved in this matter.

Now that the ghost villa has been wiped out, his mission is considered complete.

As for other matters, let the parties themselves solve them.

After experiencing the incidents of Jinpeng Dynasty and Silver Hook Gambling House, Lu Xiaofeng has already understood one thing: don't meddle in other people's family affairs, because no one except the parties involved can know everything behind it.

"In that case, why did you come to see me?"

"Of course I'm here to deliver a letter to you." Lu Xiaofeng said, "The head of Wudang Stone's condition is getting worse day by day, and he is already preparing to pass the position to his junior brother.

The head succession ceremony will be on the 27th of next month. "

After speaking, he took out another invitation card with gold lettering from his pocket, and sent it to Shen Youzhi.

Originally, Wudang sent someone to send it over, but Lu Xiaofeng volunteered to take over the job.

Today's Shen Youzhi is no longer the unknown junior who just entered the rivers and lakes.

In the past, the six masters in the world, Dugu Yihe and Huo Xiu were all defeated by him, and the peerless swordsman Ye Gucheng also failed to defeat him.

Even Yu Luocha, the mysterious leader of the Demon Cult, was beheaded by the "Dao Sword Immortal" in the boundless snowstorm of Lahasu.

Now even Mu Taoist was defeated.

Except for Shaolin's Great Compassionate Abbot and Ximen Chuuxue, there is no one in the world who is qualified to be Shen Youzhi's opponent.

However, Zen Master Dabei has profound Buddhist teachings, and he has long since stopped asking about Jianghu affairs, and Ximen Chuuxue has disappeared. It seems that these two people are no longer in Jianghu.

In other words, no one on the stage could compete with Shen Youyi.

With his current fame and prestige, the Wudang faction would naturally send a special invitation to invite him to attend the ceremony.

Shen Youzhi took the invitation, glanced at it and closed it.

It seems that Shi Yan's illness can't be dragged on any longer, and this time point is almost the same as in the original book.

"It just so happens that I plan to go back to the Bashan Sword Cottage recently, so let's stop by and congratulate." Shen Youzhi said.

Lu Xiaofeng nodded, and the last task he took over was considered completed.
