Chapter 322: The Truth Behind the Luo Family Incident?
Chapter 322: The Truth Behind the Luo Family Incident?
Unconsciously, both the man and the dog maintained a distance from Qi Yuan.
Indeed, the words of the Trace Dog were too spine-chilling.
As for Qi Yuan, the newcomer, his formidable strength made everything else fall into place.
Connecting all the dots, it all seemed reasonable.
Qi Yuan looked at the few people before him with a gaze that seemed to regard them as fools.
"Are you missing a brain cell? If I were the Sea God, why wouldn't I just marry my concubine directly? Why go through such a roundabout way of marrying her?"
Qi Yuan felt that there were still too few intelligent people like himself in this world.
An Qiao was left dumbfounded by his words.
The man in black, slightly dazed, wanted to ask, "What you're saying now, does it have anything to do with whether or not you're the Sea God?" But if the person were indeed the Sea God, they probably wouldn't be talking so much.
This made him slightly less wary, could it be that the person wasn't the Sea God after all?
At this moment, a ten-meter-high wave rose from the sea, sweeping in from a distance, rolling towards the beach.
The towering white wave was awe-inspiring.
All the villagers trembled, and the village head's rebellious heart vanished in an instant.
The wave was heading straight for the eight-bearer palanquin.
At this moment, Xiao Mei was confined within the palanquin.
If the wave hit, she would undoubtedly perish.
Seeing this, Qi Yuan sighed, "Why is it different from what's shown on TV? Does that mean... I have to rush the wedding?"
On TV, the wedding rush always started during the interrogation.
But no one was asking questions now!
He took a step forward, ready to intervene.
However, at that moment, an unexpected change occurred.
A loud shout came from above, reverberating through the sky.
"Die... We're all going to die!"
A staggering figure emerged, emanating a powerful aura of the Jade Blood Realm.
The figure appeared abruptly and thrust out a palm.
Blood-red killing intent boiled, and a white jade-like light flickered, revealing eighteen blood-red palms.
A terrifying roar of a giant beast echoed at that moment.
It was the innate martial skill of a powerful man in the Jade Blood Realm.
With a mighty palm thrust, he struck the giant wave.
Eighteen blood palms continuously slapped the wave.
Boom!
The wave tumbled, shattered by the force of the palm.
"This... He's insane!"
"How dare he attack the Sea God!"
An Qiao's face was filled with astonishment.
The attacker was the madman they had been secretly following.
The madman hovered in the air, his hair disheveled, his face hidden.
But standing in the air, he instilled immense pressure upon almost everyone present.
Such a palm strike was beyond human capability.
Even if it was Qian Qi, they might still escape unscathed.
The madman shattered the wave, his clothes drenched, and he stood amidst the waves, his expression ferocious. "Demons... All must die!"
As he spoke, he struck the sea again.
Each strike whipped up giant waves, but to no avail.
The village head stood on the high platform, trembling.
The other villagers also felt fear in their hearts at that moment.
"He's truly insane, recklessly venting his Blood Martial Qi. When the Sea God appears, what will he have to defend himself?"
An Qiao was anxious.
"Who is this person? There's no Jade Blood Realm warrior in Yunyan County!"
The man in black was perplexed, watching the madman slap the sea.
"He is... Luo Bufan!" Just then, a heavy voice sounded.
Two men quietly appeared near An Qiao.
Seeing the newcomers, An Qiao's face lit up with joy. "Captain!"
With the captain's presence, she felt reassured.
Although the captain wasn't in the Jade Blood Realm, he had reached Blood Qi Mastery, making him the most powerful among them.
The captain's gaze fell on Qi Yuan, and for a moment, his eyes showed surprise. "You actually managed to enter this place."
Qi Yuan looked at Chen Fan and shrugged. "What a coincidence, both of us matched up."
An Qiao and the man in black, having seen the captain and Qi Yuan knew each other, had their doubts dispelled.
The Trace Dog, however, had a peculiar expression, sniffing hard with his nose but saying nothing.
Everyone's attention shifted back to the madman in the distance.
"Luo Bufan, is he the Luo Bufan from the Luo Manor?" An Qiao's face showed sudden realization. "Wasn't he just in the Blood Qi Realm? How did he reach the Jade Blood Realm?"
It was easier to understand that Luo Bufan had gone mad, after all, his entire family had been killed, and his fiancee's family had also been wiped out.
But the sudden leap in his strength was highly abnormal.
"Because the Luo and Chen families were all killed by him.
Chen Fan's gaze was deep and intense, filled with complexity.
"What?" An Qiao and the man in black were both shocked.
This answer was beyond their expectations.
Their task was to investigate the truth behind the Chen and Luo families' massacre.
Simply finding the murderer wasn't enough; they also needed to uncover the motive and the reasons behind it.
"Could it be that he slaughtered his own family to enhance his power, extracting their bloodline?" An Qiao's expression became complicated.
The other two men in black standing nearby also had their faces change repeatedly, "What a ruthless man, willing to exterminate his entire clan just to advance a single realm!"
Chen Fan remained silent, his gaze fixed on the ocean ahead.
At this moment, Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes, observing the mad and deranged Luo Bufen, "It's true that he killed those people, but... there might be an even more intriguing reason behind it."
[Luo Bufen, an early-stage Jade Blood Realm warrior, is deranged and mentally unstable, and the act of killing his own family will be his lifelong pain.]
This was the hidden information he had seen today.
Yesterday, when he met Luo Bufen, the information he saw was different, mostly about Luo Bufen's martial arts.
Everyone watched Luo Bufen's madness, but not a single person dared to step forward to stop him.
In his current state, if they tried to intervene, they might perish.
Just then, the village head on the high platform suddenly stiffened.
His cloudy eyes became deep and intense, and his pupils transformed into snake-like snake eyes.
He suddenly leaped into the air, his voice chilling.
"Luo Bufen, you killed your entire family, and now you dare to disrupt my wedding! What's your intention?"
The village head was possessed by the Sea God, who had taken over his body.
Luo Bufen's body on the sea surface stiffened, and he turned around, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked at the village head, "You're a demon that brings chaos to the world, and you deserve to die!"
With a loud shout, he struck out.
But this attack was blocked by the Sea God.
A look of disdain flashed in the Sea God's eyes, "I'm a demon, but I've never killed my own kind.
And you, you slaughtered your entire family, including your parents, elders, and even the young ones. What does that make you?"
"No, I didn't!" Luo Bufen's body stiffened.
In his mind, countless scenes flashed by.
He saw countless fearful eyes and his parents lying in a pool of blood.
"Hmph, to enhance your power, you didn't even spare your own parents. What are you?"
Disdain filled the Sea God's eyes.
"Could it be that to slay demons and enhance your power, you're willing to give up anything?"
"No, I didn't!" Luo Bufen roared, and he fell from the air.
He covered his head, seemingly unwilling to accept this reality.
"After killing your entire family, you regretted it and felt deep remorse.
With nowhere to hide, you went to see your fiancee, Chen Xinlian.
She kindly took you in and cared for you.
But then, she accidentally found out that you had killed your parents.
In a moment of anger and shame, afraid that your secret would be exposed and tarnish your reputation as a demon-slaying hero, you panicked and killed your pitiful fiancee, and by the way... you slaughtered her entire family too!"
The Sea God's words were like daggers to the heart.
Luo Bufen fell to the ground, his mind in disarray, his hand still covering his forehead, "Don't say it, don't say it!"
In his mind, the scenes spun wildly, and he seemed to see Xinlian dying in his arms, her eyes still holding a smile and a hint of apprehension.
At this moment, Luo Bufen's aura continued to plummet, his mind in chaos.
Not far away, the members of the Demon Suppressing Bureau watched with changing expressions.
"It seems this is the truth!"
"Oh no, the Sea God has discovered us, he won't let us go!"
"We're doomed, this is the end!"
They hadn't expected that a simple investigation would draw the attention of a Jade Blood Realm demon.
"Luo Bufen is also a ruthless man, if he could recover his full power, he might be able to suppress the Sea God, but unfortunately, in his current state, we can't borrow his strength, it's a dog-eat-dog situation!" An Qiao couldn't help but say.
"Hey, dogs are innocent, they're just caught in the crossfire!" The Trace Dog spoke up for itself.
An Qiao's words resonated with the members of the Demon Suppressing Bureau.
Luo Bufen was certainly not a good person.
But was the Sea God a good demon?
They were both equally bad, a dog-eat-dog situation indeed.
"Luo Bufen... could it be that you should atone with your death?" The Sea God spoke, his voice carrying a hint of persuasion.
Just then, from the sea, a female corpse dressed in a wedding gown floated up.
The corpse opened its eyes, looking at Luo Bufen, and its eyes suddenly turned vicious, "Luo Bufen, give me back my family's lives!"
"Xin... Xinlian!" Luo Bufen closed his eyes in pain as he looked at the corpse in the wedding gown, "Could it be... that I was wrong?
"A calamity was wreaking havoc upon Yunyan County, putting it in grave danger.
Suddenly one day, a friend brought news that a giant demon would appear in Yunyan County.
Once this giant demon appeared, Yunyan County would be destroyed.
Time was running out for Yunyan County.
Luo Bufen, known as the Demon-Slaying Hero, was anxious but felt helpless.
Without the strength of the Jade Blood Realm, he couldn't possibly handle such a significant matter.
And on that day, his friend coincidentally mentioned a bloody method to enhance one's strength.
For a moment, his heart stirred, but he suppressed it.
On one side were all the people of Yunyan County, and on the other was his closest kin.
However, during those few days, he was extremely distracted and even experienced hallucinations.
Finally, when he regained consciousness, everyone was dead.
Dead.
All of them.
"Brother Bufen, I thought you were a righteous man. I only told you a method to enhance your strength, but... you actually used it. Alas, blame me. I shouldn't have told you these things. I've wronged Mother-in-Law and even more so, Heart-Lian. I failed to protect her."
At this moment, a young man stepped forward from the crowd, his face filled with guilt and deep self-blame.
He looked at Heart-Lian's corpse, dressed in a wedding garment, and a deep affection flashed in his eyes.
Luo Bufen sat motionless, his mind in disarray.
The young man continued, "Heart-Lian won't forgive you, and neither will I!"
Luo Bufen's aura became chaotic, and his Blood Warrior energy boiled, as if possessed by a heart demon.
"What an interesting drama." Not far away, Qi Yuan, who had been eating sunflower seeds, could only applaud, "Everyone, regardless of their distance, arrived right on time."
"Hmm?" An Qiao, who had been immersed in Luo Bufen's ferocity, heard Qi Yuan's words and paused, "What do you mean?"
"Don't you find it too coincidental that your friend appeared at this moment, just like in a TV show?
No, this is just like a TV show. It's impossible for such a coincidence to happen in reality.
A group of people, constantly chattering about a single person, waiting for him..."
Qi Yuan left the rest of his sentence unspoken.
An Qiao seemed deep in thought.
The man in black attire grew anxious, "What now? Luo Bufen is dead, and it's our turn next.
This Sea God doesn't seem like a good demon!"
"Why hasn't this mission ended yet? Is there some hidden information?"
The members of the Demon Suppressing Bureau in the vicinity were extremely tense.
Sea God's cold gaze fell upon Luo Bufen, and his voice was chilling, "Luo Bufen, if you take your own life, can you face your kin?"
"I..."
"Brother Bufen, killing is repaying a life for a life. If you take your own life, perhaps Heart-Lian will forgive you."
Luo Bufen knelt on the ground, his hair disheveled, and his mind was clouded.
He raised his hand and placed it on his crown, as if about to strike the next moment, offering his life as an apology.
Just then, Chen Fan suddenly leaped forward, his voice ringing out, "Luo Bufen, what's done is done. The most urgent task now is to slay the demon!
Do you want to see the entire Luo family of one hundred and seventy-six members die?
Kill it, and then you can die without regret!"
Upon hearing Chen Fan's words, Luo Bufen's hand paused in mid-air.
He seemed to be pondering Chen Fan's words.
"Brother Bufen, can you face Heart-Lian?" Luo Bufen's friend spoke again, "Initially, you and I pursued Heart-Lian together, but in the end, I chose to give up.
Didn't you promise me that you would love and cherish Heart-Lian for life? And what happened?
You killed her with your own hands! She died at the hands of the Demon-Slaying Hero she admired the most, the man she loved!"
Luo Bufen's clear eyes became clouded again.
A thought of death arose in his heart once more.
"If I were you, I'd end my life here." Luo Bufen's friend spoke again, then turned to Chen Fan, "Do you believe these words from a mere lackey of the court?
Initially, we sought help from the court, but how did they respond?
They asked us to raise ten thousand taels of silver, and in the end, did we manage to gather the silver?
What happened then? They took the silver but did nothing!
He's just a lackey of the court; how dare he talk to us from Yunyan County?"
Luo Bufen's friend was filled with righteous indignation, seemingly very dissatisfied with the court.
At this moment, Chen Fan tore off his human skin mask, his voice heavy, "I am... Luo Bufen!"
As the mask was removed, Chen Fan's face revealed a face that was eighty percent similar to Luo Bufen's.
