Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 148: Who killed my...

"Where is the bastard that killed my son?" A loud voice echoed in the surroundings.

However, before anyone could react, another voice followed.

"Who killed my granddaughter?"

Compared to the first, the second voice was more majestic.

It carried a trace of coercion and most of those who heard it trembled in fear.

Fortunately, Shen Xu now had the earring.

Although the voice shook his eardrums, he was not intimidated and did not feel afraid.

’I suppose that is the Xiao family ancestor.’ He thought and stole a glance at Zhen Yuan.

At this time, Zhen Yuan was observing the surroundings.

Of the one thousand cultivators who entered the secret realm, only six hundred and ninety-seven came out.

Among the six hundred and ninety-seven, one hundred and twelve had broken through to the golden core realm while most of the rest had advanced a small realm.

Beside the six hundred and ninety-seven, there was another three hundred and fourteen cultivators in the surroundings.

At a glance, most of these were elders and teachers who had come to accompany their descendants and students.

However, there was another two groups.

The first group were like old man Xiao and had come to avenge their fallen descendants.

On the contrary, the second group had come to scout with the intention of robbing.

After assessing the situation, Zhen Yuan looked at the Xiao family patriarch.

As expected, the man was a nascent soul realm cultivator.

His cultivation was stable and fortunately, he showed no signs of advancing to the late stage of the nascent soul realm.

’The situation is still manageable.’ Zhen Yuan thought and subtly nodded at Shen Xu.

Seeing the nod, Shen Xu also nodded.

"Who killed my son?" A male cultivator angrily roared, glaring at those who exited the secret realm.

"Who is that senior’s son?" Someone whispered.

"I don’t know. Does anyone know?"

"Whoever killed his son should hurry up and confess. Don’t implicate us."

"He is old man Han..." Someone revealed. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Hearing this, several people looked at Shen Xu and the double couldn’t help but be surprised.

"Me?" He muttered, pointing at himself.

Seeing this, several people eagerly nodded, their eyes urging Shen Xu to confess.

However, Shen Xu didn’t have a chance because old man Han saw the subtle interactions.

"Is it you?" The old man roared, glaring at Shen Xu with angry eyes.

Hearing the question, Shen Xu sighed and shrugged.

"It seems so." He said in a careless voice.

Although he didn’t remember the old man’s son, Shen Xu had a clear conscience.

If he killed the son, it was because the son deserved to die.

With such conviction, Shen Xu felt no guilt or burden when he faced the old man.

"Good. Good. Good." Old man Han said and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

A moment later, gloves appeared in his hands and the old man rushed towards Shen Xu.

When he saw this, Shen Xu didn’t hesitate.

He drew his hammer and rushed to meet the old man.

At the same time, Lin Xiang clenched her hands in worry.

"Zhen Yuan, aren’t you going to help Shen Xu?" She asked.

After all, Shen Xu was an early-stage golden core realm cultivator while old man Han was a late-stage golden core realm cultivator.

Most importantly, the old man was a more than four hundred years old veteran while Shen Xu was less than twenty.

No matter how Lin Xiang thought about it, he felt Shen Xu was at a disadvantage.

However, Zhen Yuan didn’t think so.

Although doubles were naturally weaker than men, Shen Xu was different.

He had not only trained his body but had also learned a powerful hammer art.

Even if he was facing old man Han who was not only a late-stage golden core realm cultivator but also a body trainer, Zhen Yuan was not worried.

"Xiaoxu is not weak." He said and Lin Xiang nodded before she continued.

"I know but..."

"You should worry about yourself."

"What do you mean?"

"You will be implicated if you let your guard down."

"I understand." Lin Xiang said and began paying more attention to her surroundings.

At this time, old man Xiao was frowning.

"Father, do you sense your blood mark?" A late-stage golden core realm cultivator asked.

"I don’t sense it." The Xiao ancestor said.

"Could Wan’er have been killed by a demon plant? Or her killer also died in the Demon Plants Forest?"

"Where are the children of my Xiao family? Call them here and ask them." The Xiao ancestor instructed.

However, before Xiao Wan’er’s father could do as asked, a voice echoed in the surroundings.

"Xiao Wan’er killed herself." The voice said.

Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Zhen Yuan.

After all, Xiao Wan’er was the granddaughter of a nascent soul realm cultivator.

"What does this fellow Daoist mean?" Xiao Wan’er’s father asked, his eyes narrowed into slits.

"Xiao Wan’er was rebounded by her own attack." Zhen Yuan said, smiled, and looked at ancestor Xiao.

"More accurately, she was killed by a rebounded nascent soul realm attack."

Hearing this, the Xiao family and spectators couldn’t help but be shocked.

However, they didn’t lose their cool.

"How did the attack rebound?" Xiao Wan’er’s father asked.

"It rebounded when she attacked me." Zhen Yuan answered in a carefree voice.

However, the Xiao family and spectators couldn’t be calm.

’What’s wrong with this person? Does he not know he is offending a nascent soul realm cultivator?’ They wondered.

"What should I call this fellow Daoist?" Xiao Wan’er’s father asked.

"Zhen Yuan."

"Fellow Daoist Zhen, why did you kill my daughter? Did you want to steal her earth fire?"

Hearing this, Zhen Yuan chuckled.

By mentioning the earth fire, the Xiao family was trying to incite other cultivators.

After all, the earth fire was a rare treasure.

If Zhen Yuan took the earth fire after killing Xiao Wan’er, he was a fat sheep that even the nascent soul realm cultivators couldn’t ignore.

"Earth fire?" Zhen Yuan muttered and sneered in disdain.
