The news of the Li family's destruction quickly spread throughout Jiangbei City.
There were those who had nothing to do with it, and there were also those who applauded. There were even those who sneaked into the Li residence on the night the Li family was destroyed and crazily stole the Li family's property. Moreover, there were quite a number of such people.
Overnight, not only had the Li family's higher-ups been killed or injured, but even their ancestral home had been emptied. It could be said that they had been completely wiped out. From then on, the Li family no longer existed in Jiangbei City.
This was probably the case.
……
In the Xicheng District of Jiangbei City, the Shen family's residence, one of the three major families.
"How's the investigation of the Li family going?”Shen Liancheng asked.
" Master, I've already sent people to investigate. The Li family, along with Li Zhengnan and his two sons, didn't leave a single person alive, and…"
At this point, the subordinate who reported the situation had a trace of horror in his eyes. He continued," According to the situation at the scene, all the martial artists of the Li family were killed in one blow. The method was extremely clean and neat. It should have been done by the same person!”
"Destroy the Li family alone?"
Hearing this news, Shen Liancheng was so shocked that he stood up from his seat. After a while, he suppressed the shock in his heart and sat back down.
"What about the murderer? Have you found out who it is?”Shen Liancheng asked.
"Master, my people spent some effort to find a surviving servant of the Li family. According to this servant, a masked man suddenly attacked the Li family, and then…the Li family was destroyed.”
The subordinate answered truthfully.
Then, he seemed to have thought of something and said," Right, when we found Li Zhengnan's body, we found a detail. Li Zhengnan's cause of death was that his neck had been crushed, but his meridians and muscles showed signs of bursting to varying degrees. It seemed that he had used some kind of secret technique to increase his strength before he died.”
"It's the Li family's rune!"
Shen Liancheng was shocked again and muttered to himself," Li Zhengnan has even used this trump card, and he still can't escape death? Who did he offend?"
Seeing that the master was silent, the subordinate probed,"Master, should we send someone to continue investigating?"”
"With what? Use your head to investigate?"
Shen Liancheng glared at his subordinate and snorted coldly." Can you afford to provoke someone who can destroy the Li family by himself? Tell your people not to act rashly. If they anger that person, our Shen family will suffer!”
"Yes, sir!"
"Wait, although we can't investigate this matter openly, we can ask around through other channels. Take the family head token and go to the Martial Artist Guild to see if you can get any information.”
Shen Liancheng instructed.
"Yes, sir!" The subordinate responded and left the hall.
After his subordinate left, Shen Liancheng slowly walked to the window and muttered to himself with a worried expression," How many years has it been since Jiangbei City was in chaos? I hope it doesn't affect my Shen family…"
Not only the Shen family, but the Xiao family, which was also one of the three great families, was also in a state of panic.
The Li family was destroyed overnight. The murderer and motive were unknown.
It was hard for the Xiao family not to worry about their situation. Just like the Shen family, the Xiao family did not dare to openly investigate and could only seek help from the Martial Artist Association.
……
At the same time, in the Warrior Guild.
"Miss, we've confirmed that the person who killed the Li family is Lu Chen.”The old man bowed slightly and reported to Mo Xiaoxue respectfully.
"Oh?"
Mo Xiaoxue's eyes lit up.
"Li Zhengnan's strength is close to that of a mid-level Martial Master. With the help of low-level runes, he barely reached the level of a mid-level Martial Master. How surprising…"
Mo Xiaoxue smiled and said with interest,"I thought he was just a good young man. It seems that I need to re-evaluate his potential. Hehe, I suddenly have the idea of recruiting him."”
"Miss, do you need me to ring the alarm for the Xiao family and the Shen family so that they don't find trouble with Lu Chen?”The old man asked.
"There's no need. The Shen and Xiao families still don't know that Lu Chen destroyed the Li family.”
As she spoke, Mo Xiaoxue's lips curled up into a charming arc. She smiled and said," With Lu Chen's strength, he naturally isn't afraid of the two families, but he definitely doesn't want to get involved in trouble. Why don't I give him a favor?" Recruiting a person like him over and over again will only cause disgust. It's better to let him owe me a favor and befriend him first.”
"Miss is really smart." The old man sighed in admiration.
Soon, the Shen and Xiao families who went to the Martial Arts Guild to inquire about the news received a 'tactful' warning from the Martial Arts Guild, telling them not to investigate this matter anymore.
The two families did not dare to be negligent and immediately changed their attitude. Not only did they not investigate further, but they also ordered all the martial artists in the family to keep their mouths shut and never mention this matter again.
……
Lu Chen did not know about the waves and undercurrents caused by the Li family's destruction.
At first, he was puzzled. The Li family had been exterminated, but there was no movement in Jiangbei City at all?
Later on, he 'accidentally' found out that Mo Xiaoxue had told the two families not to get involved in this matter, saving Lu Chen a lot of trouble.
Although he knew that Mo Xiaoxue still wanted to recruit him, Mo Xiaoxue had done this just right. Not only did Lu Chen not feel disgusted, but he also admired Mo Xiaoxue a little more.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The matter of the Li family's name being removed gradually faded away and became a topic of conversation among ordinary people.
During this period of time, Lu Chen was not in a hurry to cultivate. Instead, he walked around the Xicheng District a few times and finally bought a small villa for a price of 3 million.
He even brought Yue Ling over.
At first, when Lu Chen proposed to let Yue Ling live with him, Yue Ling was still shy and bashful. Lu Chen repeatedly emphasized that this was for her safety, so Yue Ling agreed.
This also made Yue Ling feel a little disappointed.
With the new home finally settled, Lu Chen could finally relax and officially start a new round of cultivation!
