Chapter 147: Ghost Town of Haojing (6)
Red shadows were flying in the sky, and on the ground, young masters left Liudeju and returned to their homes.
Among them is Lu Ren, the youngest son of Lu Yu, the contemporary Duke of Lai.
Lu Ren was two years younger than Lu Yi. He was naturally intelligent and very good at studying. He entered the Lu family school at the age of six and studied hard. He always got top marks in the annual examinations, and the teachers in the family school praised him highly.
Lu Yu doted on this youngest son who was "full of literary talent" and "suspected to be the incarnation of the God of Literature". He favored and doted on him the most among all his children, so much so that there were rumors in the Mansion of Duke Lai that Lu Yu intended to depose the eldest son and enthrone the youngest.
A group of servants followed in front and behind, escorting Lu Ren into the main gate, the second gate, the third gate, and several courtyards. When they arrived at the main gate leading to the backyard, the servants kowtowed and retreated. A group of old women and maids came up to greet them, still following in front and behind, escorting Lu Ren into the backyard and walking inside along a winding corridor.
Not long after they walked away, a few girls in front came over with a young man in his twenties, and the two groups collided head-on.
The young man was none other than Lu Yu’s eldest son, Lu Shi, the prince of the Duke of Lai.
Seeing Lu Ren suddenly, Lu Shi frowned: "Where did you go today? There was such a loud noise outside, and you were still walking around. What if something happened..."
Luzhin laughed. "What could possibly happen?"
After he finished speaking, Luzhin suddenly burst into laughter, and the sound of "hahahaha" gradually became more and more rampant and unstoppable.
As he laughed, the corners of Luzhin's mouth pulled back until they were just below his earlobes, revealing his bloody mouth and two rows of white teeth. His eyes also turned pitch black, with only two tiny dots of red light flashing in the middle.
Lu Shi's eyes widened in shock. He reacted very quickly, turned around, left the maids around him, and ran to the backyard. As he ran, he yelled, "Oh no, something happened, someone come, someone come, there's an evil spirit in the house!"
It must be said that Lu Shi reacted extremely quickly, and he understood the truth of the matter in an instant.
This isn't a thief, this is a ghost!
With a chuckle, Luzhin's head turned 360 degrees on his neck, then shook vigorously from side to side, with all the joints making crisp "crackling" sounds.
With a "swish", Lu Ren rushed in front of Lu Shi with a trace of afterimage. Lu Shi, who was running wildly, bumped into Lu Ren, causing his nose to collapse and two streams of blood spurted out of his nose.
“Brother!”
Lu Ren grabbed Lu Shi by the collar and grinned: "Today, I will call you brother for the last time... We are brothers, so will you... fulfill my wish?"
“Haha, this is the supreme immortal secret technique. As long as I devour the blood of all my clan members, I can… become an immortal right away!”
Luzhin laughed loudly, and in the midst of his laughter, the blood spurting out of Luzhi's nostrils spurted out like a fountain and flew into Luzhin's big mouth without any control.
I watched as Lu Ren's face gradually became redder.
Lu Shi's body suddenly sank and shriveled up, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a mummy, which was thrown far away by Lu Ren.
The maids and servants who witnessed all this screamed in fear.
They are all servants of the Duke of Lai's Mansion and grew up in the Mansion. Although they are servants, their living standards are no worse than those of the daughters of the big landlords outside.
They have all been spoiled since childhood and have never experienced the wind, frost, snow and rain in the outside world.
Seeing their young master sucking their eldest son into a dried corpse, half of the maids and servants fainted from fright, and most of the remaining half fell to the ground with weak legs, unable to move.
There were dense footsteps coming from all around, and a group of fat and strong guards with greasy faces and fat on their bellies rushed over breathlessly, holding knives, guns, sticks and clubs.
"Where is the thief? Where is the thief?"
The retainers of the Duke of Lai's Mansion were also in a state of panic. The leader of the retainers clearly had the cultivation level of the twelfth level of the Tuomai Realm, but after running such a short distance, he was actually gasping for breath and had a look of panic on his face. After he arrived, he started shouting and didn't notice Lu Ren's strange appearance or the frightened eyes of the maids and old women at all.
The next moment, Lu Ren rushed to the front of the leader of the generals, and his scarlet tongue suddenly stretched out more than three feet long and gently pierced his forehead.
A muffled roar came from Luzhin's belly: "There are no thieves, but there is an immortal!"
"In view of your loyalty in the past and your dedication to this young master, I will give you a chance today." Lu Ren smiled, and a flesh thorn on the tip of his tongue popped out and pierced into the third eye (pineal gland) between the eyebrows of the family generals' leader, injecting a drop of bright red blood plasma into it.
The eyes of the chief of the family generals suddenly shrank, and countless tiny blood vessels appeared on his eyeballs.
In the blink of an eye, his heart began to beat violently like a drum. The drop of bright red plasma in his body began to split and multiply wildly, swallowing up all the blood in his body in an instant.
The chief of the family generals' eyes turned red as he chuckled. Black scales quickly emerged from under his skin. In the blink of an eye, the thin black scales covered his entire body, turning him into a giant lizard-like monster that could walk upright.
The process of the household general's transformation took only one or two breaths, and Lu Ren had already killed more than a hundred household generals and transformed them all in the same way.
After a few breaths, more than a hundred family generals turned into strange creatures covered with black scales.
Lu Ren chuckled, and the retainers rushed out frantically, pinned the maids to the ground, and bit their necks fiercely with their mouths.
Lu Ren happily watched the maids and old women being sucked into mummies. He jumped happily like a big flea, and with a few "shua" sounds, he rushed to the backyard of the Duke of Lai's Mansion, leaving a large afterimage.
From the direction of the imperial city, columns of light and black smoke rose up, and the sound of golden bells could be heard from afar. Duke Lai Lu Yu and other elders of the eldest house of the Duke Lai's family who were qualified to live in the Duke Lai's Mansion, as well as dozens of young masters and young ladies, as long as they were at home and did not go out, all rushed to the inner study where Lu Yu usually worked.
Large groups of family guards also put on their helmets and armor and rushed towards the inner study, or set up sentries at strategic locations.
Lu Ren rushed forward, and wherever he passed, none of the guards could resist him at all. All of them were pierced through the forehead by his tongue, and blood plasma was injected into their brains.
One by one, the household generals transformed into monsters. They roared and, under Lu Ren's will, began to frantically kill the servants and servants in the Duke of Lai's mansion.
Howls and screams were heard everywhere, and the smell of blood gradually spread throughout the Duke of Lai's mansion.
Outside the inner study room that was surrounded by thousands of family generals, Lu Ren returned to his usual serious appearance. Amid the attentive greetings of several family generals, he strode into the inner study room unhindered.
Lu Yu, his younger brothers, and Lu Ren's group of brothers and sisters, most of them gathered in the inner study.
Seeing Lu Ren coming in, Lu Yu stood up and asked with concern: "Ren'er, aren't you going to Liudeju today..."
Lu Ren suddenly rushed in front of Lu Ren, hugged Lu Yu's head with both hands, and Lu Yu was speechless.
"Dad, I know that you love me the most... So, for the sake of my immortal career, you will definitely not be stingy... So, give your life to me."
Lu Ren grinned and then bit Lu Yu's neck.
Poor Lu Yu, he didn't learn even a single bit of the Jingyang Lu family's martial arts.
Faced with his own son's sudden attack, he didn't have the slightest ability to resist.
With a "hiss", Lu Ren swallowed up all of Lu Yu's blood and blood, and threw the shriveled corpse aside.
In the inner study, a group of people with the most distinguished status in the current Duke of Lai's Mansion stared at Lu Ren in amazement, like quails frightened by thunder.
They were so frightened that their paws became numb, their minds went blank, and they even forgot to call for help.
Lu Ren smiled at these family members who were closest to him on weekdays, shook his head and sighed: "No wonder people outside say that we nobles are all a bunch of parasites of the country and a bunch of waste."
"If anyone dared to say such things in front of me before, I would have had his teeth knocked out. But look at what he said today. No wonder he seems to be right! Don't you even know how to run for your lives?"
Looking up, Lu Ren sighed: "Such a waste of woodworms... It's a waste of food if they live. So, please fulfill my wish!"
With a chuckle, Luzhin raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist.
The invisible evil force shook the hearts of everyone in the study. Dozens of the most core members of the Laiguo Mansion vomited blood and fell to the ground, and then quickly turned into mummies.
"Now, let's start harvesting!" Lu Ren walked out of the inner study happily and shouted loudly: "Pass on my father's order, let all the clansmen in the back street come to the back garden to take refuge... Alas, when a country is about to fall, there must be evil. Today, evil is rampant in Gaojing City. The whole family must hide together, so that we can be neat and reunited."
With a slight smile, Luzhin frowned and looked towards the east.
The Laiguo Mansion can be cleaned up quickly.
But what about the several thousand households of the Tian’en Mansion?
What was even more troublesome was that several hundred families of clansmen were separated from the Tian'en Mansion and placed under the name of Lu Yi's Tianyang Mansion.
Lu Yi's Tianyang Mansion has not been completed yet, where do all the clansmen live? Where are all the people?
"Hey, hey, never mind all that, let's summon the tribesmen here first!"
Luzhin kicked a retainer on the buttocks and said, "Hurry up, don't dawdle. If you delay, watch out for your heads!"
If you look down from a high altitude, you can see that in hundreds of mansions in the city of Haojing, large groups of black-scaled monsters are moving back and forth, madly slaughtering all living creatures in their sight.
And the noble ministers, who were delicate and strong, were escorted by the black-scaled monsters and brought to the princes and nobles, who sucked them into mummies one by one. The aura of these princes and nobles was rising rapidly and madly.
