Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 102 Domineering Shen Xiao

Tongling County, East City Gate, three miles away from the official road

It was night at Xu hour, and two lonely horses were parked on the official road, with two people standing next to them. The man on the left was dressed in white, and his face was handsome and elegant. He looked to be only in his early twenties, while the man on the right was tall and tall. The beard on his chin is slightly thicker, and his face is much rougher. He looks to be around thirty.

The bearded man had a worried look on his face. Seeing that the elegant young man next to him had always looked calm, he suddenly felt curious and asked: "Brother Hou, Ding Dian clearly wants us to die, why are you not worried at all?" ?”

The elegant young man in white clothes was obviously thinking about something. He was interrupted by a question from the bearded man. He turned around with confusion on his face and asked: "Ding Dian clearly told us to die, why did Brother Bai say this?"

"There are too few warriors in Baiye and Yulin counties. There have long been rumors that the demons are already gathering around the counties. Ding Dian asked us to be responsible for exploring the surrounding areas. Isn't he just trying to get rid of us with the help of demons?"

The young man in white shook his head and said: "There is such a factor, but it is not necessarily the case. The only people who have seen demons so far are Ding Dian and Lord Fan. No one knows what is going on around the county. It may not be that they want to send people out to investigate. Really find the traces of demons.”

After saying that, he paused and continued: "Our mission is only to explore, not to fight against the monsters. Even if we are really defeated, we will just run away at the worst!"

When the bearded man heard these words, the expression on his face still did not relax. It was obvious that he was not very optimistic about this exploration mission.

"Besides, isn't there Elder Shen leading the team this time? As long as we follow him closely, there shouldn't be any problems."

When the bearded man heard these words, his expression really improved, and he nodded and said: "That's true, Elder Shen is a warrior in the Dan Bao stage, and he is not afraid of ordinary monsters at all. It should be better to be with him. .”

The elegant young man in white, that is, Hou Yuduan, was very considerate of Bai Dongyu's cowardice.

During this period, the demon incident in Tongling County was indeed very violent!
In just one or two months in the county, hundreds of warriors have disappeared, including more than twenty Gang Qi realm warriors, and the way they disappeared is extremely strange, as if they all suddenly disappeared from the world. Silent.

The warden started investigating at the end of March. At first, there were only a few cases and no attention was paid to them. But later, as more and more people disappeared, and cases were also reported in the two nearby counties of Yulin and Baiye, Ding Dian became aware of it. Something is wrong, and the people under the Warden Department are ordered to investigate thoroughly.

You wouldn't know if you didn't investigate. After an investigation, it was discovered that warriors disappeared almost every day. But at that time, Ding Dian still didn't think about the demon. Later, a case happened and the warden confirmed that a demon was at work.

At the beginning of last month, in a small town next to the official road of Baiye County, more than 3 people disappeared mysteriously overnight. It is said that Ding Dian personally came to the scene and found some clues, confirming that it was the work of a demon.

On the ninth day of April, the demon was so bold that he actually wanted to go to the Xingnan Mansion military camp and plunder the warriors in the army. This alerted Fan Longhe and Ding Dian. The two of them joined forces to repel the demon. Only then did the county realize the seriousness of the problem. While thinking of ways to deal with it, he hurriedly reported the news to Fucheng.

The reason why we are rushing to report to the city is because this kind of incident of monsters robbing warriors has happened before. This situation is usually because the big monster has just recovered and needs a lot of blood food to supplement the energy and blood in the warrior's body. , is naturally the first choice.

Not to mention other places, let’s talk about the nearest Jinling County. An incident happened 30 years ago. Jinling County did not pay attention to it at that time. As a result, after the big demon revived, nine out of ten living creatures in the county were brutally slaughtered. In the end, if it weren't for the experts sent by the Holy Cult General Altar, I'm afraid there would be no survivors in the entire county.

Now that a message has been sent from Fucheng that Master Jialan Fanyin, the warden of Xingnan Prefecture, will arrive in the near future, the people of the county and city are a little more stable.

Ordinarily, since it is certain that there are masters coming from Fucheng, Tongling County should not act rashly. However, Fan Longhe deliberately tricked Ding Dian and asked him to explore the traces of demons in advance.

The Warden of the Rakshasa Holy Cult was already responsible for solving the demons in the prison, so Ding Dian could not refuse, but he was not easy to deal with either. He used the excuse of insufficient manpower to attack Fan Longhe's army, leaving Daluo Sect and eight other The family's third-rate force, with a total of ten Gang Qi realm warriors, plus ten people from their warden department, were divided into four teams, responsible for exploring the wilderness.

The team that Hou Yuduan was assigned to was captained by Shen Xiao, the elder of the Daluo Sect, a peak warrior in the Dan Bao stage; Qin Kai from the Hongdao Gang, a warrior in the Jusha stage; and Liu Jianghe, the chief escort of the Xiyun Escort Bureau, a warrior in the Jusha stage, and so on. There were five people in total, including himself and Bai Dongyu, the nephew of Bai Yunfan, the head of the Bai family.

The fact that the five of them were assigned to a team speaks volumes.

Except for Yaochen Sect Chaowuwu, the other eight families in Tongling County can be divided into two major factions. On the side of County Prime Minister Fan Longhe: Daluo Sect, Hongdao Gang, Xiyun Escort Bureau, and Bai Family; and on the side of Sicheng Dingdian, there is Lu Yuemen, Lingcheng Escort Agency, and Qijuemen.

This is the sense of oppression that Ding Dian, the number one master, brings to people. It is obvious that Fan Longhe's side is more powerful, but in fact, Ding Dian's side does have the upper hand among the two camps.

After Hou was promoted to the third rank this time, he was also labeled as the Jun Cheng because of his bad relationship with Ding Dian. However, even with the addition of Hou, Jun Cheng Fan Longhe's side became more powerful, but it was still not as good as Ding Dian.

This is the deterrent power of Tongling's number one master!

This time Ding Dian assigned the five of them into a team, and also deliberately assigned them to the most dangerous area around the county. His intention to kill people with a borrowed knife was not too obvious, but even so, Fan Longhe couldn't say anything. After all, he proposed to explore the wilderness. Yes, it's him.

"How come the three of them haven't arrived yet? Xu Shi has almost passed!"

The two waited for a while. Bai Dongyu was a little impatient and complained impatiently. Seeing his beard, Hou Yuduan couldn't help but smile.

The Bai family, not to mention other things, their level of naming is really nothing to say.

He is obviously one of the richest weapon refiners in his family, and his names are more elegant than others. The head of the family, Bai Yunfan, is a burly man, and his nephew Bai Dongyu is almost the same. With such a beard and such a hot-tempered personality, it is really difficult for him to do so. Let people associate these three words with Bai Dongyu.

I'm afraid that Bai Yujie is the only one in the Bai family who looks pure and lives up to her name!

"Brother Bai, please be patient. Maybe Elder Shen and the other two are delayed by something, and they should be here soon."

Ding Dian's order to them was that from Xu time every night to Chou time the next day, the exploration scope was centered on the county city, with a radius of twenty miles, and all wilderness areas outside the official roads, and the time was only ten days.

Monsters are most active at night, and the yin energy is the most abundant at midnight, so it is easier to find them during investigation than during the day. Of course, the risk factor is also high.

They were waiting here tonight because they were notified by the Daluo Sect disciples of Shen Xiao's sect in the evening. They were supposed to set off at Xu hour, but now it's almost Xu hour and Shen Xiao hasn't come yet. It's normal for Bai Dongyu to be impatient.

The two waited for a while, and at the right time, two more people came hand in hand on horseback. On the left was a burly man who was as tall as Bai Dongyu, holding a sword more than three feet tall, and on the right was a man wearing a brocade robe. thin middle-aged man.

"That burly and strong man is Qin Kai, the deputy leader of the Hongdao Gang. The other middle-aged man in brocade robes is the chief escort of the Xiyun Escort Bureau, and Liu Jianghe, the younger brother of the head Liu Jianghong. Both of them are in the Jusha stage."

Hearing Bai Dongyu's introduction, Hou Yuduan nodded slightly, waited for the two people to approach, hurriedly stepped forward, smiled and clasped his fists and bowed: "The fifth Hou Yuduan of the Zhaoyang Hou family has met you two!"

Bai Dongyu can stand aside because he is also at the Jusha stage, which is equivalent to the two of them, but he can't do it. The one who is a master of martial arts is the first. He only has the peak level of Condensation stage, so he can't salute the two of them. It's normal.

Besides, the Hou family doesn't have a deep foundation in the county, so it never hurts to be polite.

"I have long heard that the Hou family is full of talents. Today I saw that it is indeed extraordinary. At such a young age, I can't find anyone with peak Ning Gang cultivation. I, the Hongdao Gang, can't find anyone."

"The Holy Heart of the Hou family has a very special demeanor that I still remember deeply. A few days ago, when your fourth son, Hou Yujie, came to visit our Xiyun Escort Agency, it caused quite a stir. Now that I look at you, I am afraid that you are not inferior to the two of you. No matter how many brothers you have, it’s true that the Hou family is full of talents!”

When the two of them saw Hou Yuduan, their eyes were startled, and they couldn't help showing a look of amazement. In February, Hou Yuxiao's holy heart angrily beheaded Chengyue and won the reputation of being the first genius in Tongling. The Hou family has already attracted much attention. , but at that time the cultivation bases of Hou Yucheng, the second son of the Hou family, and Hou Yuling, the third son, were only at the peak of the tenth level of the body. Although they were good enough, they were not so amazing.

But with the arrival of Hou Yujie and Hou Yuduan last month, it was discovered that they were both at the Condensation Stage, causing quite a stir in the county.

Among the five sons of the Hou family, the eldest is Hou Yuxiao, who is only 25 years old. The following must be his younger brothers and sisters, who are not older than him. For such a young Ninggang Stage warrior, it is already a high-profile event for a mainstream force to produce one. There are three members of the Hou family, which can't help but arouse people's surprise.

As a result, the saying that Hou's profession is full of talents has spread like wildfire.

"Yu Duan is very different from my elder brother. You two are so complimentary!"

Hou Yuduan shook his head, with a humble smile on his face, which immediately made Qin Kai and Liu Jianghe feel good in their hearts.

He is talented but not arrogant. He is obviously from the same background as them, but he is still humble and polite. Such a person will make people dislike him no matter where he is.

"Elder Shen hasn't arrived yet, so you two should dismount and wait with us!"

Bai Dongyu also smiled and nodded to greet the two of them, and opened his mouth to signal. The two of them would not refuse, tied the horse aside, and chatted a few words with Hou Yuduan and Bai Dongyu.

"Everyone is about to die, but they still have time to chat!"

During the conversation, a deep voice came. The four people turned their heads quickly and saw a thin old man with a bald head, a long knife in his hand, and a dark red robe. He looked at them with a sinister expression, and their hearts suddenly sank. .

This elder Shen of the Great Luo Sect, who came late, seems not to be easy to talk to.

"Elder Shen's words are serious, it's just an investigation. If we are defeated, the worst we can do is run away. How can we start when death is imminent!" Qin Kai was tall and courageous. He immediately retorted to Shen Xiao lightly, which was regarded as He told the other three people what they were thinking.

Shen Xiao turned his head and stared at Qin Kai. Although his small body was a bit miserable compared to Qin Kai's, his sinister and sharp eyes, coupled with his shiny bald head, still made him feel oppressive.

Suddenly, he suddenly pulled out the long knife from his waist, and struck Qin Kai with lightning speed. The black knife light that was about to solidify in one blow was filled with a strong fishy smell, and it reached Qin Kai's face in an instant.

Qin Kai's expression changed and he hurriedly pulled out his three-foot sword and held it in front of him. Gangsha surged from his burly body. Shen Xiao drew the sword too fast and his reaction time was too short. There was no possibility of escape, so I had to try to block it.

boom……

With just this strike, Qin Kai retreated more than ten meters, vomiting blood, and his body instantly succumbed. He raised his head to look at Shen Xiao, the horror in his eyes rising to the extreme in an instant.

"Approaching the Dharma, Elder Shen, you are halfway to the master level!"

Seeing Qin Kai's horror, Shen Xiao seemed quite satisfied. He turned his gaze to the people next to him, sneered twice, and said solemnly: "Since I am the leader, everything about this mission must be obeyed by me. Dare you?" If you are disobedient, there is no need for the demon to come, I can send you away first!"

"I'll obey!"

Everyone heard the gloomy tone in Shen Xiao's tone, and their hearts tightened immediately. They all bowed and saluted in unison, and the other person's thin body became taller in everyone's eyes.

Hou Yuduan shook his head slightly in his heart. Everyone knew that Ding Dian deliberately targeted the five of them. The five of them were not harmonious and shared the same hatred, but there was no need to offend others first. Isn't Elder Shen of the Daluo Sect overbearing? It's a bit too much...

"Let's all set off, from east to south, and explore one side first. The four of you will take turns to take the lead. I will hold the line for you from behind. If anything happens, call at any time!"

Shen Xiao's words immediately made the four people react. Why did this guy put on that domineering posture just now...

The older you get, the more you fear death. This is true!
