Upon seeing this, Xiao Hu immediately took out Gu Liyan's jade flute and put it to his lips to blow it.
Zhang Xiang, who had just walked over, seemed to have bumped into a thick wall and bounced back, landing hard on his backside.
Zhang Xiang fell flat on his back, and couldn't help but cry out, "Ouch...you, you ungrateful wretch, you actually used sorcery to try and kill me! I'll skin you alive!"
Seeing Zhang Xiang's embarrassed appearance, the other two men, besides the masked man in the lead, couldn't help but mock him:
"Haha, I was wondering how Xiao Zhang could be so badly beaten by his own son after being with us for so long?"
"Exactly! He can't even beat a kid, what's the point of learning from us!"
Zhang Xiang's face flushed red with anger. He scrambled to his feet, pointed at Xiao Hu, and yelled, "You little brat, you dare use sorcery against your father! Today I'll show you what I'm capable of!"
Xiao Hu trembled with fear upon hearing Zhang Xiang's words. This was a spell taught to him by a demon, which meant that he was also one of the demons.
Just as Xiao Hu was hesitating, Zhang Xiang suddenly pounced on him. Xiao Hu was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he forgot how to use Gu Liyan's flute!
However, before Zhang Xiang could even touch Xiao Hu, the man in black sitting at the head of the table who was drinking suddenly moved!
A shadow flashed by, and Zhang Xiang's hand stopped in front of Xiao Hu's eyes.
The man coldly replied, "Even tigers don't eat their cubs. Are you going to kill him?"
Upon hearing his words, Zhang Xiang immediately lowered his hand, bowed his head, and respectfully said, "Sir, I... I was just angry for a moment..."
The masked man interrupted Zhang Xiang, his expression wicked as he said, "Your son's death is a small matter; it would be a pity if his filthy blood splattered on the jade flute—"
Zhang Xiang was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that what the adults wanted was the jade flute in Xiao Hu's hand!
Zhang Xiang threatened, "You brat, the master has taken a fancy to the jade flute in your hand. Quickly bring it over to the master!"
Xiao Hu hid the jade flute behind his back, saying, "This is mine! I won't give it to you!"
Hearing Xiao Hu's words, the masked man couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Hahaha, little brother, lying isn't good for a child! Hand it over obediently, and I won't let your dad beat you!"
Upon hearing the masked man's words, Xiao Hu subconsciously took a few steps back. He didn't know why, but seeing the man always filled him with a sense of fear.
Seeing Xiao Hu's actions, the masked man finally turned cold. "Little guy, I don't have that much patience! You'd better behave and hand over what you have!"
Xiao Hu trembled, swallowed hard, and finally couldn't resist his fear. He took out the jade flute and handed it to the masked man.
The masked man then smiled and said, "That's a good boy!"
Seeing Xiao Hu hand over the jade flute, Zhang Xiang grabbed Xiao Hu by the collar and slapped him hard across the face, yelling, "You ingrate, how dare you mess with me!"
Blood trickled from the corner of Xiaohu's mouth, and a clear handprint appeared on his face. He immediately burst into tears.
"Still dare to cry! I'll beat you to death, you ungrateful wretch!" Zhang Xiang grabbed a stool and slammed it hard on Xiao Hu's back.
Xiao Hu was knocked unconscious on the ground.
The masked man scrutinized the jade flute, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Haha, so it really is you, you little fox! I thought you had already escaped, but I didn't expect you to dare to appear in this world..."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Xiaohu, intending to ask where the owner of the jade flute was, only to see Xiaohu lying unconscious on the ground, covered in blood. His face immediately turned cold. "Zhang Xiang, you piece of trash! You killed him, how am I supposed to ask him where this jade flute came from!"
The masked man roared in exasperation and slapped Zhang Xiang across the face, causing Zhang Xiang to cough up blood and collapse next to Xiao Hu.
Zhang Xiang was still breathing, but Xiao Hu had already stopped breathing!
Seeing the masked boy's anger, Zhang Xiang knelt down with a thud and kowtowed, "I'm sorry, Master, I'm sorry, I didn't know you would spare this little brat's life, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."
A murderous glint flashed in the masked man's fiery eyes. "Tell me, where did this kid go before!"
"I heard from my wife that she went to see a girl named Yiyi..." Zhang Xiang said hesitantly.
"So, where does that Yiyi live?" the masked man asked coldly.
"This, this..." Zhang Xiang's expression changed instantly. He had been gone for so long and had no idea where Gu Yixian lived...
Seeing that Zhang Xiang was unaware, the masked man narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a cold, piercing voice, "What a bunch of useless humans!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a long, thin tail shot out from behind him and pierced straight through Zhang Xiang's throat!
Zhang Xiang never imagined that he would die because of his "ignorance"!
The masked man turned around and beckoned to the other two, "Go and bring that woman out. I have something to ask her!"
"yes!"
——
Zhang Xiang's sister-in-law lay on the bedroom floor, staring blankly at the ceiling. Her clothes were torn to shreds and thrown haphazardly on the bed, revealing bruises all over her body and two deep teeth marks on her neck. It was clear she had suffered inhuman treatment!
Just then, the door was suddenly kicked open, and two men grabbed her from either side. Zhang Xiang's sister-in-law cried out in alarm, "What are you doing? No! Don't touch me! Ah—"
Ignoring her screams, the two burly men dragged her directly in front of the masked man.
Zhang Xiang's sister-in-law collapsed to the ground, trembling.
"Hey, sister-in-law, we meet again!" the masked man said with a smile.
When Zhang Xiang's sister-in-law saw the masked man, she screamed, "Ah—the devil! The devil!"
