Chapter 157 Chain Reaction

After a brief thought, Feng Huan immediately followed the footsteps of the head of the Lu family and left the High Priest's Mansion. He followed him not to kill him again, but to capture him alive and torture him to find out the secrets here.

Late at night, the streets of the imperial capital were completely silent, with no one else in sight. The two were running wildly on the streets like ghosts, their speed was so fast that it was shocking.

"Air flash!" Suddenly, the figure behind let out a low shout.

The head of the Lu family, who was running in front, was completely unprepared. He felt a flash before his eyes, and his body involuntarily followed the other party into another void layer. He was startled and wanted to resist, but it was too late.

In this strange void, before the head of the Lu family could react, Feng Huan punched him hard in the head and he immediately lost consciousness. Then, Feng Huan quickly sealed all the meridians in his body, making him completely unable to resist.

After returning to the real world, Feng Huan brought the unconscious Master Lu to his house. After throwing him on the ground, Feng Huan sat on a chair beside him and looked at him.

After a while, Patriarch Lu slowly woke up. When he saw that he was in an unfamiliar place, he immediately became alert.

"Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?" He stared at Feng Huan, his eyes full of anger and confusion.

Feng Huan looked at him coldly and said, "You are my prisoner now, it is not your turn to ask questions!"

The head of the Lu family sneered and threatened: "Humph, no matter who you are, you'd better let me go quickly, otherwise, you and your family, and even anyone related to you, will die without a burial place because of you. You don't know what kind of person you have offended!"

Feng Huan couldn't help but frown when he heard his arrogant tone. He asked coldly, "Oh? Really? Then tell me, who are you? In addition to being the head of the Lu family, do you have any other identity?"

"Are you scared? My identity is certainly not something you can find out! If you don't want to die, let me go." The head of the Lu family looked disdainful and shouted impatiently.

"Oh, if I let you go, you won't kill me?"

"I may not kill you, but I will plant a restriction on you. From now on, you must obey me, otherwise I can kill you at any time."

"Have you never seen me?" Feng Huan suddenly felt that the current head of the Lu family seemed to have lost some memories, so he asked tentatively.

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Lu was stunned. "Should I have met you before? Or are you my enemy?"

"Sure enough, it seems that although the child glued his head back on, allowing him to be reborn, he lost some of his previous memories. But is this Lu family master still alive now? Could it be that he was originally such a monster, so even though I killed him, he could only recover in this way!"

Feng Huan did not continue asking, but thought about it himself, integrating the information he had obtained and making some bold guesses.

"If you don't let go now, it will be too late and I can't promise not to kill you!" Seeing that Feng Huan didn't say anything, the head of the Lu family thought that his threat had worked, so he continued to put pressure on him.

Feng Huan still didn't say anything, but walked over, grabbed the shoulders of the head of the Lu family with both hands, and the icy true energy came out from his fingers.

"Ah! You are looking for death!"

The bone-setting technique is not only a means of healing and disguise, it is also a good choice for torturing people. Combined with Feng Huan's ice-attribute true energy, it instantly made the head of the Lu family wail.

"You still don't understand your situation! Since you are so arrogant, then try my method first! Now is just the beginning. Next, I will greet every bone in your body one by one. I guarantee that you will enjoy it endlessly! Until you clearly understand your situation."

"Ah... no matter who you are, you will pay a heavy price for your actions!"

"I will kill your entire family, including all nine clans!"

“Kill…Kill me!”

"I know nothing..."

Tortured by Feng Huan's bone-breaking technique, the head of the Lu family was ultimately unable to say anything useful and fainted.

"He is really a man of steel. He won't confess even after such a situation. Is it because his methods are not good enough? Or does he know nothing at all?"

Feng Huan looked at the head of the Lu family who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, and didn't know what to do next. He had no experience in this area.

"Don't kill him yet, let's see how long you can hold out!"

After throwing the head of the Lu family into the sand space, Feng Huan didn't think about it anymore. He had no clue for the time being, and these things might not be related to him, so he didn't care about them for the time being. Cultivation was the most important thing.

The next day, a thick cloud of gloom hung over the Lu family, as if foreshadowing an impending storm. The eldest lady of the Lu family, also the eldest lady of the Yin family, was sitting in the hall, with a gloomy face and sharp eyes, which made people shudder. Her voice was low and stern, with obvious anger: "Who of you can tell me, what is going on?"

The others bowed their heads and kept silent, trembling all over, not daring to breathe. The atmosphere in the hall was suffocating, and everyone was silent. There were only a few cold bodies lying on the ground. They were the personal guards of the head of the Lu family and the steward in charge of security, but now they had become victims of this tragedy.

The eldest lady's eyes swept across the corpses on the ground, and then fell on the guards kneeling and trembling in the hall. She asked coldly: "Tell the truth, are the things these guards said true or false? I simply can't believe that there are such absurd things in the world!"

As the eldest lady's anger subsided a little, her tone became a little softer, but her majesty remained the same: "Tell me, what exactly is going on?"

An old man said cautiously, "Miss, this matter is indeed a little strange. With the master's cultivation strength, there are very few people who can kill him silently. What's more, the headless corpse can actually perform martial arts like a normal person. This is really unbelievable."

Another person agreed, "Yes, Miss, I also think that these guards may have made up such a lie in order to shirk responsibility. After all, this kind of thing sounds too bizarre to be believed."

However, some people also raised questions: "But if the master of the family is not dead, then where is he now? We have tried to contact him with the Star Ring, but we have never received a response."

Someone else asked worriedly, "If someone really wants to take action against the rival owner, who would that person be?"

……

The people below discussed for a long time, but could not come up with a reasonable explanation.

"Sister, in my opinion, the most urgent task now is to send someone out to look for him. Also, family affairs cannot be left unattended. Before the head of the family comes back, we should choose someone to manage the family's affairs!" The person who spoke was the second son of the Lu family who had been silent.

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience fell silent.

"Oh, you mean you want to take this opportunity to make you the head of the family?" Upon hearing this, the eldest lady stared at Lu Lao Er with sharp eyes, "Could this matter have anything to do with you?"

"Sister, that's not what I meant. Don't accuse me of anything. I said this only for the stability of the family. There has to be someone responsible for the affairs of such a large family. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will affect the interests of the entire family, right?"

The second son of the Lu family was born out of wedlock, and he was not on the same page as the eldest lady and the others. He had always coveted the throne of the head of the family, so the two of them spoke to each other in a somewhat tit-for-tat manner.

"What the Second Master said is not without reason. The family has numerous affairs that need to be decided by the head of the family every day. A lot of them have been accumulated in the past half day, and they are all waiting for the head of the family's opinion."

The second son of the Lu family has won over some confidants over the years, so he would seize this opportunity to stand up and support them.

"Humph, the head of the family has only been missing for half a day, are you guys planning a rebellion?"

The two parties usually fight with each other and refuse to give in to each other. Now that they see that the other side is trying to take the initiative, how can the people of the Lu family's faction let the other side succeed so easily?

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Send someone out to find the head of the family first. Don't make any noise. I will handle the family affairs here until the head of the family comes back."

How could the eldest lady not know the little thoughts of these people, but she could not bear to see the family get into problems, so she had to suppress all the conflicts temporarily.

"That's not right! After all, you are a member of the Yin family. It's ok for you to come back as a guest, but you can't preside over the affairs of our Lu family."

"Really? Don't forget, if the Lu family hadn't relied on me, a member of the Yin family, how could they have such a good life these years? Now that the family is powerful, you can ignore me, right? Then you might as well try and see if I have the ability to make the Lu family withdraw from the ranks of the major forces in the imperial capital!"

Seeing that the second son of the Lu family still refused to give up, the eldest lady also put on the aura of the wife of the head of a first-rate family, and swept her sharp eyes over the second son of the Lu family and his group.

"Since you want to use your power to pressure others, I have nothing to say, but I believe that the tribe will make the final decision."

The second son of the Lu family never thought that he could take the position of the head of the family right now, but he always had to slowly push the situation to his advantage. Everything had to be accumulated step by step to eventually succeed.

After saying this, he did not stay any longer and just walked away.

"You all should go down as well, do your family's work well, stabilize your people, and beware of their small moves. Quickly send someone to the High Priest's Mansion to inform him of yesterday's events and listen to the High Priest's opinion."

The eldest lady had a gloomy face. She looked at the backs of the second son of the Lu family and his group as they left, and gave orders in a stern tone.

……

Feng Huan didn't know the impact of the disappearance of the head of the Lu family, and he didn't care, or it was originally his purpose. He was now focused on attacking the Xuanji acupoint. After taking the acupoint breaking pill, the speed of attacking was many times faster. Although it became more and more difficult as time went on, the time was still greatly shortened.

……

"Oh, there is such a thing!"

In the High Priest's Mansion, Huang Hualong frowned after hearing what the visitor from the Lu family said.

"Okay, I understand. Go back and tell the Madam first. I'll find a way to find out the truth about this matter."

"Yes, Lord Priest."

After sending the Lu family away, Huang Hualong hurried to the small house behind the mansion. If Feng Huan was here, he would know that this was the small house that the head of the Lu family visited yesterday.
