174: The Zhang family tragedy! The prefect's son!

Besides Lu Xuan, who else could it be?

“Brothers, I have a small matter I’d like to ask for your help with.”

“Could you show me the way?”

Lu Xuan paused as he spoke, then added more precise information.

“Hmm… it’s the place you few have stayed the longest these past few days.”

The Yin Qi carried by these people in front of Lu Xuan.

According to Lu Xuan’s guess, the Yin Qi had not been present for very long.

Because if the Yin Qi of those ghostly things had lingered on these individuals for an extended period, they would have long since died violently.

They wouldn't have lived to meet Lu Xuan today.

Of course, Lu Xuan was only making a rough estimate, which wasn't entirely accurate.

These individuals were all Martial Artists, three Martial Artists at the Major Achievement of the Flesh Refining Realm, and one Martial Artist at the Bone Refinement Realm.

Their Physical Body strength was definitely much greater than that of ordinary people.

For Martial Artists with higher Martial Dao Realms, the influence of the Yin Qi from those ghostly things would be smaller.

?

The four men in black were utterly bewildered by Lu Xuan’s appearance.

Upon seeing Lu Xuan’s face, they were even more confused, exchanging puzzled glances.

Who the hell is this?!

Do we know him?

At this moment, among the four men, a burly fellow with a rugged face and somewhat dark skin,

When he saw Lu Xuan’s young and handsome face, a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes, and he immediately cursed out loud.

“Brat, scram!”

“Are you blind? Didn’t you see my clothes?”

“This Big Guy is from the Black Hawk Gang!”

“Consider yourself lucky; this Big Guy is in a good mood right now and doesn’t have time to bother with you!”

If he didn't have important matters to attend to later, he would have directly attacked Lu Xuan.

Li Ge, the leader among the four men, saw that everyone in the inn was looking their way.

He quickly reached out and restrained the restless, hot-tempered big man.

“Alright, it’s getting late; we should head back now.”

“Zhou Yifei must be hungry guarding the Zhang family mansion; let’s take all this food and drink back with us.”

“Yes, Brother Li!”

The three big men in black immediately rose from their chairs and stood up upon hearing their leader speak.

The man who had just insulted Lu Xuan even shouted towards the inn counter.

“Innkeeper, put it on the tab!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the four men completely ignored Lu Xuan and walked directly out of the inn.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan’s brow furrowed slightly, and a faint purple glow flickered in his eyes.

Then, without anyone noticing, an invisible, transparent streak of Gale Force appeared around Lu Xuan and shot towards the bodies of the four men.

The four men simultaneously felt an abnormality in their bodies, as if they had been gently patted by a hand.

“Huh?”

“What was that?”

“Who patted this Big Guy?”

The four men’s steps immediately halted, and they reached their hands behind their backs.

However, after finding nothing, they left the inn full of doubt.

Lu Xuan did not intend to interrogate them but left his Gale Force on their bodies.

Relying on the aura of that Gale Force, as long as it was not too far from Lu Xuan, he could sense the direction of this Gale Force aura.

After the four big men in black left, the guests in the inn resumed their conversations, no longer paying attention to Lu Xuan’s situation.

“They’re from the Heavenly Eagle Gang!”

“No wonder those few could put things on tab at this inn.”

“Ah, it’s more than just putting things on tab; you all know what happened a month ago, don’t you?”

“Are you talking about the Zhang family incident?”

“Yes, yes.”

“This matter is known to half of Fu City.”

“It’s just a pity for the Zhang family; they suffered an undeserved disaster and were wiped out by the Heavenly Eagle Gang.”

“Oh, oh, oh!”

“Watch your words, watch your words!”

“Brother Deng is right; I spoke out of turn!”

“The Heavenly Eagle Gang is not someone we can afford to provoke; let’s not talk about this anymore.”

These voices came from a table a few meters to Lu Xuan’s left, where three middle-aged men were seated.

Zhang family? Heavenly Eagle Gang?

Lu Xuan noted these two names in his mind, then familiarly walked towards the men.

Under their surprised gazes, he directly sat down.

“Brothers, I am from outside Fu City.”

“I just heard what you were discussing, and I’m a bit curious.”

“Could you elaborate on the matter between the Zhang family and the Heavenly Eagle Gang?”

Lu Xuan’s words made the men’s faces change drastically, and they looked at Lu Xuan with some unfriendliness.

“What? I don’t understand what Your Excellency is saying.”

“What Zhang family or Li family? Never heard of them.”

“This brother, you must have misheard. We were talking about some trivial matters of ordinary families.”

This young brat heard it and that was one thing, but he even dared to brazenly ask them.

However, in the next moment, their mouths, which had been constantly denying, immediately shut.

It was a gold ingot, brazenly placed on the table.

This sudden scene left the three men dumbfounded, their eyes fixed on it like hooks.

“Your Excellency, this is…”

“As long as you are willing to answer my questions, this gold ingot is yours.”

Swish!

A gentle breeze swept by, and the gold ingot on the table had already disappeared.

And that gold ingot had naturally been taken into his bosom by one of the three men.

After the man put away Lu Xuan’s gold ingot, his previous cold expression immediately transformed into a warm, fawning smile.

“Young Master, the person I, Fang, admire most in my life is someone as unrestrained as you.”

“Don’t worry, Young Master, whatever you want to know about Fu City, I, Fang, will tell you everything without reservation.”

“I even know exactly what the widow Xu next door did yesterday!”

“Brother Fang speaks wisely; we also think so.”

The other two men, seeing this, quickly chimed in, afraid that Lu Xuan would forget their presence.

After all, the matter of the Heavenly Eagle Gang and the Zhang family was not a big secret.

Half of Fu City could get some information about it just by asking around.

Therefore, these three men, upon seeing Lu Xuan’s gold ingot, accepted Lu Xuan’s request without hesitation.

“Young Master, about a month ago, almost the entire Zhang family, a prominent family in the city, from old to young, was wiped out by the Heavenly Eagle Gang!”

“Besides the Zhang family’s Young Miss Zhang Yingxue, even the Zhang family’s servants could not escape death.”

“As for the reason…” The man who was speaking looked around, found nothing unusual, then leaned closer to Lu Xuan and whispered.

“It is said to be related to the Prefect’s Young Master.”
