Luotian Elderâs arm was broken, and he felt immense fear.
A peak organ-refining warrior!
In all of Giant Tablet City, peak organ-refining warriors were few and far between.
However, Luotian Elder gritted his teeth, using his left hand to push himself up from the ground and rapidly moved backward, attempting to escape through the window.
"Thinking of escaping?"
Lu Changshengâs eyes were cold.
Seeing that Luotian Elder was almost at the window, he extended his hand with a finger pointing like a sword.
"Go."
A scorching surge of vital energy and blood immediately appeared above his head.
Simultaneously, this fiery vital energy and blood instantly separated, transforming into strands of silk in the blink of an eye.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh."
Vital energy and blood turned into silk, and the silk became like swords.
Lu Changsheng executed the Silk Organ Sword technique, and like raindrops, each strand of the silk sword was incredibly fast.
In almost the blink of an eye, they reached Luotian Elderâs legs.
"Crunch."
Strand after strand of the silk sword pierced Luotian Elderâs legs instantly.
Luotian Elder screamed in agony and was thrown back to the ground heavily before reaching the window.
Blood flowed from his legs and body.
"Releasing vital energy and blood... Who are you?"
Luotian Elder genuinely felt a hint of fear.
The ability to release vital energy and blood externally had such terrifying power. The transformation of "vital energy and blood" into silk swords was something he couldnât withstand.
Although a single strand of the silk sword might not be very strong, as long as it didnât hit a vital area, it wouldnât be lethal. But what if there were thousands or even tens of thousands of strands of silk swords?
Luotian Elderâs voice had barely faded when Lu Changshengâs figure flickered. He extended his hand, using a short sword to thrust directly at Luotian Elderâs throat, making Luotian Elderâs soul shudder.
"Swish."
The blade gently cut the skin of Luotian Elderâs throat.
It seemed that with a little more force, it could pierce the fragile throat.
However, the blade came to a halt.
Blood droplets fell from the skin of Luotian Elderâs throat to the ground.
Luotian Elderâs forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Do you want to live or die?"
Lu Changsheng asked.
"Live!"
Luotian Elder replied without hesitation.
"I ask, you answer."
"If thereâs any hesitation or reluctance, youâll die immediately."
Luotian Elder hurriedly nodded and said, "Please, go ahead."
"Did you capture Liu Sanlang?"
"Liu Sanlang? Yes, it was me, but it was the order of the family head. It had little to do with me..."
Luotian Elder quickly explained.
"Swish."
In the next moment, Lu Changsheng used a strand of the silk sword to instantly cut off Luotian Elderâs ear.
"Ah..."
Luotian Elder let out a miserable scream, clutching his ear tightly.
"It seems you havenât fully understood my words earlier."
"I ask, you answer. No need for extra words."
"This is a warning. The next time you die."
Luotian Elder was truly terrified.
"You captured Liu Sanlang?"
"Yes."
"How long have you been serving the Cui family?"
"Thirteen years."
"Is your Diamond Vajra Handprint perfected?"
"No."
Lu Changshengâs questions seemed illogical, entirely random. However, Luotian Elder didnât dare to hesitate or lie, answering almost everything he was asked.
"Where is the Elixir Dan stored in the Cui family?"
"The Elixir Dan is in the alchemy room..."
Luotian Elder replied without hesitation.
However, after saying this, he seemed to realize something. He raised his head abruptly, gazing at Lu Changsheng. "Did you come for the Elixir Dan?"
"You guessed it."
Lu Changshengâs eyes turned cold, and he lightly thrust his sword.
"Swish."
The sword instantly pierced Luotian Elderâs throat.
Blood spurted forth, and Luotian Elder clutched his throat tightly, falling to the ground, convulsing. After a few breaths, he lost consciousness.
Luotian Elder was dead, but there were still three women from the Yihong Pavilion in the room. They had also heard Lu Changshengâs inquiry regarding the Elixir Dan.
If they were left alive and the Cui family found out about Lu Changshengâs inquiries about the Elixir Dan, they would likely relocate it immediately.
"Sir, please... spare us."
"Sir, we donât know anything."
The three women pleaded with trembling voices.
Lu Changsheng stood up in front of Luotian Elderâs body and discreetly tucked a few silver notes into his pocket.
Apart from the silver notes, there was nothing on Luotian Elderâs body.
"Your luck is not on your side."
Facing the three womenâs pleas, Lu Changsheng shook his head.
Then, three strands of silk swords instantly shot out and pierced the throats of the three women.
These three women met the same fate as Luotian Elder and fell lifeless into pools of blood.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps and screams from outside could be heard.
Evidently, the people from the Yihong Pavilion had discovered what had happened in the room.
"Swoosh."
In the next moment, Lu Changsheng sheathed his sword and quickly jumped out of the window, disappearing into the night.
The brothelâs madam entered the room and saw that all three courtesans, along with Luotian Elder, were dead. Her face turned pale, and her voice trembled, "Disaster, a great disaster."
"Luotian Elder died in our Yihong Pavilion; this is a huge calamity."
"Quick, notify the Cui family..."
With the madamâs angry and frantic screams, the Yihong Pavilion quickly descended into chaos.
In the dark of night, Lu Changshengâs figure blended into the shadows.
Li Hongzhuang walked out from a corner, her eyes slightly narrowed with a hint of anticipation. She asked in a low voice, "Thirteenth Brother, how did it go?"
"The Elixir Dan is in the Cui familyâs alchemy room!"
"The alchemy room?"
Li Hongzhuang was slightly taken aback. She had been to the alchemy room last time but found nothing.
"Thirteenth Brother, I went to the alchemy room last time, found nothing, and alerted the Cui family. Would they really keep the Elixir Dan there?"
Li Hongzhuang seemed skeptical.
"Luotian Elder wonât lie."
Lu Changsheng remained resolute.
"What about Luotian Elder?"
"Heâs dead."
Li Hongzhuang fell into silence, showing a hint of hesitation. She couldnât be certain if this information was true.
However, she trusted Lu Changsheng.
"The more dangerous a place, the safer it is. Thatâs the way of things under the lamp."
"Perhaps the Cui family really might hide the Elixir Dan in the alchemy room."
"I visited the alchemy room last time, so I know the location."
"Should we wait a few more days, or should we go now?"
Li Hongzhuang inquired.
"Luotian Elder has already died, and thereâs a risk the Cui family might suspect itâs related to the Elixir Dan."
"To prevent the Cui family from relocating the Elixir Dan, we should go to the Cui family now."
Lu Changsheng made his decision.
"Now?"
Li Hongzhuangâs eyes glinted with anticipation as she nodded, "With Luotian Elderâs death, the Cui family will undoubtedly send people to investigate. We might also be able to lure some of the Cui familyâs organ-refining warriors away."
"However, last time I spent a long time in the alchemy room and found nothing. Even if we go back to the alchemy room this time, it will likely take some time to find the Elixir Dan."
"Thirteenth Brother, Iâm not sure if you can withstand the Cui familyâs attacks."
Li Hongzhuang expressed her concerns.
The Cui family had thirteen organ-refining warriors, and even if one like Luotian Elder had died, there were still twelve more. If they were surrounded by over a dozen organ-refining warriors for an extended period, even someone like "Thirteenth" might not be able to withstand it. They might all die today.
Lu Changsheng remained calm, without further explanation. He turned and walked away step by step, heading toward the Cui family.
"Who below the Divine Power Realm can kill me?"
In the pitch-black night, Lu Changshengâs voice reached Li Hongzhuangâs ears. His calm tone carried unparalleled confidence and dominance.
Li Hongzhuangâs eyes shimmered with a trace of fascination. She quickly followed him, keeping pace with Lu Changsheng as they disappeared into the night.
