Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Han Yi Her Great Aunt Repays Kindness with Enmity

Since it was still early, Lu Xiao didn’t return to his farmstead outside the city but went to the new home he had just purchased for Xu Ming the day before.

Just as he entered the courtyard, Lu Xiao heard Xu Ming talking with Ge Li.

"Old Xu, should we leave or not? Lots of people from Xu Hai City have already left."

"No, we’re not leaving."

"But, I heard that last night the Li Residence was slaughtered by a demonized man. If those high clans can’t hold out, there’s no way we can survive."

Ge Li’s words plunged Xu Ming into a brief silence.

"Maybe you should ask Mr. Lu what he thinks," Ge Li added.

"Alright, I’ll go back to Mansion Luo and wait there," Xu Ming also felt it was safer to ask for Lu Xiao’s opinion.

"Brother Xu!" Lu Xiao called out with a smile as he stepped into the courtyard.

"I heard everything just now, no need to run. Feel at ease and settle down here."

"I will handle the demonized man matter, in cooperation with City Lord Qin and the major clans of Xu Hai City."

Hearing Lu Xiao’s words, Ge Li and Xu Ming both breathed a sigh of relief.

It was not so much City Lord Qin or those high clans they trusted but Lu Xiao.

If Lu Xiao said there was no problem, then there surely would be none.

"Geez, I’ve been so anxious all morning that my heart was racing," Xu Ming said, patting his chest.

The news of the demonized man’s massacre of the Li Residence had made him rush home, and even just a moment ago, his legs were still trembling.

But after Lu Xiao’s arrival, he calmed down.

The uneasy feeling had also disappeared.

"There’s nothing to worry about, just eat and drink as usual. Oh, sister-in-law, what’s for lunch?" Lu Xiao waved his hand and then turned to ask Ge Li.

Ge Li also started to smile.

Apparently, a person’s goodness isn’t necessarily related to their strength and background.

Mr. Lu is so formidable, said to be a super genius from the Holy Land, yet he always respectfully calls her sister-in-law.

"The bacon we took home yesterday, I’ll stir-fry it with some garlic leaves for you later."

"And make some fried peanuts."

"There’s also the fish we bought this morning, I’ll make it spicy and aromatic."

Lu Xiao’s saliva was already flowing, feeling that each dish was his absolute favorite.

"Madam, go buy a couple more jars of good wine," Xu Ming said to Ge Li.

"Okay."

After Ge Li left, Xu Ming bowed deeply to Lu Xiao, "Mr. Lu, I truly feel unworthy of this residence."

"I’ve already had the property transferred to your name."

"I know Xu Hai City can’t hold you for long, and you’ll probably leave before too much time has passed."

"From now on, Ge Li and I will simply be helping you look after the house."

"That way, you’ll have a place to stay if you ever return."

Lu Xiao stood there, stunned. He had thought Xu Ming might refuse, and before coming, he had even prepared some arguments to persuade Xu Ming.

But it seemed... they were completely unnecessary.

Xu Ming did not refuse to live in the courtyard, nor did he accept the gift.

He preserved his principles with a manner that left Lu Xiao no room to argue or disagree.

More than that, Lu Xiao felt a sense of respect emanating from Xu Ming.

A respect for both parties and for the friendship between them.

"Xu Hai City, a place of exceptional people and spiritual land, indeed," Lu Xiao couldn’t help but sigh.

Whether it was Luo Hanyi, Xu Ming, Qin Shiguang, or even City Lord Qin, each person had, to varying degrees, flashes of humanity shining through them.

He did not know whether the whole Divine Land was like this, or if it was just Xu Hai City.

But this feeling, it really was very nice.

...

After drinking with Xu Ming at noon, Lu Xiao returned to the rural house outside the city.

He had to convert all the meridians into energy as soon as possible.

Red Eyes had already started controlling the Demonized to kill people, who knows when they would launch a full-fledged attack on Xu Hai City.

"But first, I need to make some preparations," Lu Xiao muttered to himself in the courtyard of the farmhouse, gazing at the vast expanse of mountains and forests.

At this moment, he even missed Arthur.

Whenever he was out, a single phone call and Arthur would always manage to arrange a massive amount of firepower support for him.

Thinking back to the time in the Goo Clan, on the mountains of the Lu Family, they carried bombs and buried them everywhere, blowing up half a mountain with each explosion.

If Arthur were here, if they could get their hands on that much modern firepower again, Demonized? Heh, they’d flatten the entire forest for you.

"Burning down the forest probably won’t work either." Lu Xiao shook his head again as he looked at the lush green trees.

He wondered what kind of trees were growing in the forest, and it was getting quite cold, yet there was no sign of the leaves turning yellow or falling off.

In such a situation, even if they did start a fire, with so many Demonized in the forest, putting it out probably wouldn’t be too difficult.

"Troublesome."

"We have nothing we need."

"Not even a single bottle of gasoline."

"Forget it, leave it to fate."

The urgent ringing of the bell sounded, but Lu Xiao didn’t enter the house immediately; instead, he stood a step away from the door.

He was busy; the sky grew darker, and the red glow began to descend.

About two minutes later, Lu Xiao sprang into the house with a whoosh.

"It seems... there is a kind of mutual suppression at work."

The scorching sun overhead, a red moon, the sun overpowering during the day, preventing the Demonized from surviving; after nightfall, the red moon grew stronger, rendering normal people unable to survive.

But during the transition between the scorching sun and the red moon, the two energies constantly competed and cancelled each other out, creating the two-minute vacuum period like the one just now.

During this time, neither the Demonized nor normal people would be affected much.

"Quite a significant discovery," Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow. Used wisely, this vacuum period could be very effective.

"But now, it’s time to get started!" The next second, Lu Xiao sat down on the spot and immediately started to purify the red superpower he had just absorbed.

No choice, the superpower inside Demonized didn’t need purifying; what was absorbed from outside had to be dealt with, or else he might be controlled by the inherent abilities of the superpower within minutes.

If he lost control of his mind and was controlled, then naturally, he would become one of the Demonized.

Half an hour later, Lu Xiao began to refine the last quarter of his meridians.

Lu Xiao had calculated that at his current pace, he would need about three more hours.

"ROAR!!!!" The familiar roar arrived as expected.

Lu Xiao’s slightly closed eyes suddenly flew open.

Luo Yongjuan!

Outside the door, Luo Yongjuan was being carried over the shoulder of an extremely burly Demonized.

And behind Luo Yongjuan, one after another Demonized were continuously flooding into the courtyard.

"Fuck," Lu Xiao couldn’t help but twitch the muscles on his face.

Red Eyes is playing big this time.

Did they stuff all the Demonized from the entire forest into the courtyard?

And judging by their auras, most of them were above the Transcendent Seventh Layer.

They’re directly trying to kill me.

"Han Yi’s aunt, this seems a bit like biting the hand that feeds," Lu Xiao took a deep breath and shouted at Luo Yongjuan, who had lost her legs.

At the same time, Lu Xiao’s brain was spinning rapidly.

I need to find a way to survive.

Although the house could withstand those Demonized, Lu Xiao already knew, after seeing the situation at the Li Residence during the day, that houses were not completely safe either.

After all... Demonized could also transform into a demolition squad.

Once they tore down the house, naturally, they could kill people.
