Chapter 163 Duanmu Died in the Bone Mound

"Okay, just over there."

Lu Chen agreed, and the ghostly beauty led him out of the back door of the increasingly lively flower building, followed a corridor, and walked into an elegant courtyard.

Neat and clean.

Spacious and plain.

Lu Chen nodded silently, turned around, reached out and took off the scarf on the other person's face. The ghostly beauty subconsciously took a step back, only to see Lu Chen take out a white jade porcelain bottle, and said angrily:

"What are you going to do?"

Lu Chen uncorked the bottle and explained:

"This is the second-level jade dew. It can bring life to human flesh and bones. It is very precious. It only took ten years to condense more than a hundred drops. It may be able to remove the black mark on your face."

"Really?"

"Um!"

Seeing Lu Chen nodding seriously, the ghost beauty hesitated and said tangledly:

"What should I do?"

"Put your face closer."

"Closer!"

Lu Chen dropped a drop of jade dew on the other person's face, rubbed it gently, and slowly dissolved it. He saw that the original black mark gradually faded, but it could not be eradicated.

There is no woman who does not love beauty, and the ghost beauty is no exception. She said anxiously:

"How about it?"

"It's a bit lighter, but if you want to completely remove it, I'm afraid it will take a lot of money."

Hearing this, the ghost beauty quickly turned into a ball of water and took a closer look at it. She was surprised and happy. She looked at Lu Chen carefully and said wisely:

"what should I do?"

"Just do your best for me."

"good!"

The ghost beauty breathed a sigh of relief and made up her mind to help Lu Chen do something good. Just as she was about to turn around and return to the flower building, she heard a magic voice ringing in her ears, and her body suddenly froze in place.

"A good night is too short, so come over here and help me warm my bed tonight."

"no!"

"Can't!"

"Woooooo~~"

In the middle of the night, the ghost beauty escaped from Lu Chen's clutches by transforming into a colorful [Beautiful Swallowtail] and flew into the third floor of the flower building. Just as she transformed into a human form, a shrill scream suddenly spread throughout the flower building. The building suddenly became silent, and even Lu Chen in the backyard faintly heard the movement.

“Tap tap tap~~”

A beautiful middle-aged woman stumbled over.

"What's going on? Aunt Xue."

The ghost beauty straightened her clothes and frowned slightly. The middle-aged beautiful woman said in horror: "No, sir, the second city lord just tortured and killed Amei."

"Duanm Heng?"

"Yes!"

The ghost beauty felt annoyed when she heard this. She rubbed her brows with her slender hands and asked:

"Took it?"

"Before we could get in, the person had already escaped through the window."

The ghost beauty sighed and ordered:

"Bury the person alive and bury him alive. If you have relatives, take care of him more. Tomorrow you will take people to the City Lord's Mansion to report the matter. You must give us Hualou an explanation. Even if this is Linjiang City, even if the other party is The Second City Lord cannot let him do whatever he wants."

"yes!"

The middle-aged woman breathed a sigh of relief and finally managed to calm down.

"Get down!"

The ghostly beauty waved her hand to let the other person leave. She took off her veil, took out a bronze mirror and looked at it carefully.

Early the next morning, the ghost beauty carried the food box into the backyard of the flower house. When she entered the door, she saw a terrifying figure with her upper body naked, sitting cross-legged in the yard, making strange movements.

Or twist your arms.

Or knead the muscles and bones.

The ghost beauty was startled and almost turned around and ran away. Fortunately, she felt relieved after seeing the other person's face clearly. She suppressed her fear and placed the food box on the table.

After Lu Chen finished a set of actions, his body shook and his body appeared in the outside world.

The ghost beauty breathed a sigh of relief and asked carefully:

"What kind of monster are you?"

"You are the monster."

Lu Chen rolled his eyes, sat down on the stone bench, and shouted into the room:

"Yao Yao, come and eat soon."

Then he explained: "I am a human being. I practice body-building skills. I am not a monster."

"oh!"

The ghost beauty suddenly realized and asked curiously:

"What is your relationship with your empress?"

"."

Lu Chen smiled and said nothing, took the bamboo chopsticks, took a mouthful of bean curd, and asked:

"What happened last night?"

The ghost beauty did not hide anything and explained: "It's Duanmu Heng, the second city lord. He is a frequent visitor to our flower house. He must have lost his face yesterday and was still angry. He accidentally tortured a woman in our flower house to death. He had just been Send someone to the city lord’s mansion to ask for an explanation.”

Lu Chen frowned and said:

"It is said that the three disciples of Master Baishui are all great, how could they be so harsh on an innocent woman?"

"That was before."

The ghost beauty sighed and sneered:

"I used to be restrained by Master Baishui, and he behaved like a human being. But since Master Baishui went into seclusion three years ago, things have changed a lot. The other two are fine, they always have to take care of their face and behave fairly, but this Duanmu Heng is a lawless man. Yes, in the past in Hualou, people would be tortured to the point of amputating their hands and feet, but fortunately no one was killed, and they were willing to give up the panacea, but now they are becoming more and more wanton."

"Tell me more about it."

"On the surface, Linjiang City is under the control of the great city lord Duanmuci. In fact, it only manages trivial matters. Once a war is involved, the three of them need to negotiate together and check and balance each other. It is said that Baishui Zhenren has propped up Linjiang City. Although it is true, but In fact, Master Baishui rarely takes action, and the real secret of Linjiang City is a secret realm."

"Secret realm?"

"right!"

The ghost beauty nodded and said with emotion:

"It is a third-level secret realm, called [燹(xiǎn) Bone Graveyard]. Relying on this secret realm, Baishui Master has trained a completely reborn elite soldier of hundreds of battles. They are scattered like quicksand, roaring into formations, each one is extremely extreme. They are so powerful that they can match the monks of the second realm individually. Once they gather together, they can overwhelm Master Tongxuan. It is said that there are ninety-nine of them in total. Each disciple controls thirty-three of them, and they can all rival the monks of the third realm."

"Mound of Bones."

No wonder Linjiang City can remain as stable as ever even if Master Baishui goes into seclusion. With this third-level secret realm, it is equivalent to three third-level people sitting in command. Even Lu Chen does not dare to provoke him head-on.

"Three years of seclusion."

Lu Chen's eyes flickered. He had been in seclusion for three years, but he still said something had happened.

"Brother~~"

Meng Yao rubbed his sleepy eyes and flew over from the room, landing on the table. His big eyes suddenly lit up:

“Wow, it’s so rich~~”

"Eat quickly."

"Hmm~~"

Meng Yao nodded his little head vigorously, moved quickly, his mouth was as bulging as a squirrel, and he ate with gusto.

"Pullingleng~~"

The three of them were eating when a thrush suddenly flew into the yard.

"brush!"

The thrush spread its wings and landed on the ground, transforming into a petite woman. She was the second-level thrush demon who was good at singing. She bowed to Lu Shenfu and said in a panic:

"Sister is not good, something happened."

"What happened?"

"Aunt Xue, who just went to the city lord's mansion, was beaten to death before she arrived. She was thrown outside the flower building along with two servants and three corpses."

"It's too much!"

The ghostly beauty's pretty face was frosty, and she said coldly:

"It must be Duanmu Heng's hand. I didn't expect that the other party would be so cruel."

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and asked:

"how do you want to do it?"

"I"

The ghostly beauty's expression darkened and she said in frustration:

"Even if the empress is here, I'm afraid I won't get any benefits. Alas, what can I do? I just swallow my anger. That person threw the body outside the flower building. Wasn't it a warning? If I don't know how to lift, the whole flower building will be afraid. Everyone will suffer accordingly."

Lu Chen didn't say much. He watched the ghost beauty and the thrush hurriedly leave. The other party only saw Hua Lou's frustration, but Lu Chen saw more. He saw signs of a break between the two city lords.

Meng Yao, who was eating, suddenly raised his head, puffed his mouth and said:

"Brother, is that person a bad guy?"

"He's a bad guy!"

"That"

Meng Yao rolled his eyes and said eagerly:

"Then shall we kill the bad guy?"

"Let's eat."

Lu Chen rubbed Meng Yao's little head and said with a smile:

"Let's take a look at the situation first, let's not end in a hurry."

"Oh~~"

Meng Yao seemed to understand, and continued to eat the delicious food.

In the afternoon, the ghost beauty came again. She wanted to speak several times, but in the end she didn't make a sound. Finally, she put down fifteen jars of second-level spiritual wine and returned to the flower house worriedly.

As night fell, a small sedan swayed outside the flower building.

The bustling flower building in the past was a little quiet today. On the third floor, Su Xiaoxiao, the top star with her exquisite makeup, looked particularly helpless. She held the ghostly beauty's delicate hand tightly and said sadly:

"If Xiaoxiao leaves, I'm afraid there will be no chance of coming back. Please take care of yourself, sister!"

"Woooooo~~"

After saying that, he ran out of the flower house sobbing and got into the sedan chair.

"Get up the sedan~~"

Following a sharp voice, the sedan slowly walked towards the city lord's palace under the cover of night. On the roof of the flower building, the ghostly beauty stared at the sedan below, feeling unwilling to do so. She bit her silver teeth and turned into a colorful butterfly and chased after her.

"brush!"

Lu Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, waved his hand away and muttered:

"It's not easy to worry about."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands, and two green snakes came out of his sleeves, penetrated the window paper, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Half an hour later, a commotion broke out in the City Lord's Mansion, which quickly subsided. The ghost beauty took the opportunity to fly back to the Flower House with Su Xiaoxiao. The two landed on the roof of the Flower House. Su Xiaoxiao patted Ao Ran's chest. He said with fear:

"Sister, just now"

"None of our business!"

The ghost beauty glared at the other party.

"Yes Yes!"

Su Xiaoxiao shrank her neck and said excitedly:

"The other party was attacked by two spiritual beasts and accidentally lost his life. Naturally, it has nothing to do with us. Our Hualou can be considered lucky to have escaped."

"As long as you know, don't mention it again in the future."

The ghost beauty warned and waved her hand:

"You go back first."

"Then sister you."

"I'll be alone for a while."

"OK."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, and landed on the third floor of the flower building as if she had been reborn. The ghostly beauty on the top of the building was stunned for a while, then turned around and flew towards the backyard.

"Squeak~~"

The door was pushed open, and the ghostly beauty quietly walked into the bedroom. She walked step by step to the couch. Looking at Lu Chen sleeping peacefully, she pulled the ribbon around her waist with her delicate hands, lifted the brocade quilt, and crept in.

Lu Chen woke up leisurely and said in surprise:

"Transgender?"

The ghost beauty's eyes were burning, she bit her red lips and said:

"is that you?"

"What?"

Lu Chen had a confused look on his face. Seeing this, the ghost beauty became more and more determined. She chuckled and said softly without asking any more questions:

"It's late at night, and the beauty has come to warm your husband's bed."

"good!"

"Woooooo~~"

An hour later, the ghostly beauty was so embarrassed that she stumbled out of the room, covering her red lips.

"Whoosh~~"

The ghost beauty left, and two green snakes broke in through the window. One of them got into the cuffs, and the other coiled in a circle on the ground. When he opened his mouth and spat out, a huge thing fell to the ground with a "bang".

This is a human form.

Nearly two meters tall, his whole body was wrapped in dark gray bone armor, with only a pair of closed eyes exposed.

[Name]: Alien

[Information]: Second-order Xuan (xiǎn) Bone Guard

"Bone Guard?"

Lu Chen was thoughtful and murmured: "It does look a bit similar to a puppet."

He has personally seen the [Ghost Valley Guard] guarding the Tianmu Sect [Eight Corner Ghost Valley]. It can be said that it is very similar to the Bone Guard in front of him. However, one of the two secret realms is the second level and the other is the third level. Presumably there is a difference in strength between the two.

However, it is only a second-order puppet after all.

Compared with his little magical power [Green Snake with Two Sleeves], there is still a big gap. Originally, the opponent wanted to protect Duanmu Heng, but he was eaten alive in one encounter.

If he hadn't been concerned about the reclusive Master Baishui, Duanmu Heng would definitely have lost more than just one object.

"Eat it!"

"Ah woo~"

Lu Chen waved his hand and saw the little green snake opened its mouth and swallowed the two-meter-tall bone guard in one gulp. The body remained the same, which looked quite magical.

Early the next morning, the ghost beauty walked into the yard carrying a food box, looked at Lu Chen with complicated eyes, and said:

"News came from the City Lord's Mansion this morning that the Second City Lord Duanmu Heng was attacked and killed last night!"

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, frowned and said:

"Are you sure he's dead?"

"Um!"

The ghost beauty nodded: "The mourning hall has been set up, and many people have gone to pay their respects."

"What a smooth sailing!"

Lu Chen sighed with emotion and muttered:

"The great city lord Duanmu Ci is also ruthless."

With his mind spinning, Lu Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "Since the other party dares to act so boldly, then this Master Baishui."

"It's probably the end of the world!"

The two looked at each other, and the ghost beauty answered with emotion:

"After today, Linjiang City is probably going to change. Without the name of Master Baishui, I don't know if Duanmu Ci can support Linjiang City."

"Then it depends on whether the opponent can grasp the bone mound."

The Bone Grave Mound is a third-level secret realm. Even if one of the Bone Guards dies, they can still be cultivated. As long as you hold the secret realm, it is equivalent to having three Tongxuan Realm combat powers, which is more than enough to protect Linjiang City.

"Don't leave yet."

As the sky grew dark, Lu Chen called out to the ghost beauty who was about to leave. The ghost beauty blushed with embarrassment, pinched the corners of her skirt with her delicate hands, lowered her head and said:

"Is there anything else?"

Lu Chen smiled and said:

"Come with me to the City Lord's Mansion tonight."

"Huh~~"

The ghost beauty breathed a sigh of relief and said doubtfully:

"Are you planning to get involved too?"

"No! I'm just curious about Master Bai Shui."

Master Sanjing Tongxuan was promoted from the Zongfa Immortal Master, and he must have practiced [Seven Elegant and Five Customs]. Since the other party may have already sat down, he doesn't mind checking it out. It would be best if he could gain something. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have it.

It’s just that the city lord’s mansion is not small.

It is difficult for him to find a retreat place by himself, so Guimeimei's [Butterfly Powder] can come in handy.

When it got darker again, the two flew out of the courtyard. Under the cover of the night, they quickly arrived outside the city lord's palace. They bypassed the patrolling guards and quietly climbed over the wall. When they turned their eyes, they saw a tower with white silk hanging down. The mourning hall stood not far away, Lu Chen whispered:

"Is this Duanm Heng's mourning hall?"

"probably."

The ghost beauty nodded, and followed Lu Chen forward, intending to scratch her tongue and ask. When they approached the mourning hall, they found that no one was on duty. The two of them quietly stepped forward. As soon as they arrived outside the mourning hall, they heard a strange sound. .

"Sister-in-law~~"

"Woooooo~"

"Sister-in-law~~"

Lu Chen quietly poked his head out and saw a white candle burning. A beautiful woman wearing linen and mourning was lying on the altar table, swaying back and forth, sobbing, and a young man behind her was trying to comfort her.

Lu Chen opened his mouth and said in shock:

"Who is that woman?"

"Duanm Heng's original wife."

"What about the men?"

"Third City Lord Duan Muying!"

"."

The two looked at each other, the ghost beauty smiled bitterly, and Lu Chen muttered:

“Really good at playing”
