Murong Zhen opened his mouth, "You..."
"Don't worry, I can help your hair grow back," Rong Zi said with absolute confidence.
Murong Zhen's eyes lit up. "Are you sure?"
"Yes, but..."
Before she could finish speaking, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the barrier.
"Oh no! Xu Liuhan has run away!"
Those outside couldn't hear the sounds inside the barrier, but Rong Zi and Murong Zhen inside could hear the commotion outside.
Rong Zi paused, then subconsciously turned to look outside.
There was no trace of Xu Liuhan and Xu Xingzhi in the formation that had imprisoned them; only the corpse of the Nascent Soul stage subordinate remained.
Unable to escape the barrier set up by Murong Zhen, Rong Zi turned to look at him.
"Great-grandfather of the Alliance Leader."
Although Murong Zhen really wanted to ask Rong Zi in detail how to help him grow hair, he naturally knew what was important and what was urgent.
He raised his hand to dispel the barrier and flew to the outside of the barrier that had been used to trap Xu Liuhan and his son.
Rong Zi jogged after him.
At this moment, everyone present gathered outside the array barrier.
The formation set up by Murong Zhen, a cultivator at the Great Ascension stage, was unbreakable by anyone present, and naturally, no one could enter it.
When Rong Zi ran over, he immediately saw the Nascent Soul stage subordinate of the Xu family lying lifeless on the ground inside the barrier, with blood flowing all over the ground.
He was almost completely submerged in blood.
The thick blood drew a circular, intricate rune array beneath him.
Rong Zi frowned as he watched this scene. "Using human lives as sacrifices to break the underground array defenses, and then escaping using an earth-遁符 (earth-遁符 is a type of talisman)? Tsk tsk, that's really ruthless."
Murong Zhen and Xi Hongyu were slightly surprised to see that she had seen through the mystery at a glance.
She's just a little girl in the Qi Refining stage.
You actually know so much?
Rong Zi sighed and asked Murong Zhen.
"Great-grandfather, what do we do now? The person has escaped."
Murong Zhen looked helpless and stopped correcting Rong Zi's way of addressing him.
He looked at Xi Hongyu beside him and asked, "Brother Xi, why didn't you keep an eye on him?"
He had other reasons; he was only concerned with asking about Rong Zisheng's hair and didn't pay attention to Xu Liuhan.
But Xi Hongyu was only at the Integration Stage, so how could he not keep an eye on the person?
Xi Hongyu touched the tip of his nose and explained, "Wasn't this just carelessness? Who knew he could escape even the formation you set up?"
He was so focused on asking his daughter how her face blindness had suddenly improved that he didn't pay any attention to Xu Liuhan.
Murong Zhen sighed softly and used his divine sense to perceive the direction that Xu Liuhan and his son had fled in.
"They must have fled in the direction of the Xu family."
He looked at the members of the Demon-Slaying Squad and instructed them, "You all return to the Demon-Slaying Squad immediately, take your men to surround the Xu family, prevent them from escaping again, and notify the entire cultivation world to expose the Xu family's crimes, reveal the truth about the Ling family tragedy, and also..."
Ling Mo is innocent.
Murong Zhen looked at Ling Mo and said, "Child, you have suffered injustice during this time. It is because we failed to find out the truth that you have been wronged."
"Don't worry, the Immortal Alliance will give you an explanation for this matter and will do its best to compensate you."
Upon hearing about the compensation, Ling Mo was about to say that it was unnecessary.
Rong Zi suddenly grabbed one of his arms and spoke first with an exaggerated expression.
"Oh, senior brother, the Alliance Leader is a man of his word and very generous. The compensation he'll give you will be very generous. Hurry up and thank the Alliance Leader!"
As she spoke, Rong Zi pinched a small piece of flesh on Ling Mo's arm and winked at him from the corner of her eye.
Ling Mo: "..."
"Thank you, Alliance Leader... Great-Grandfather."
Murong Zhen: "..."
He absolutely has to be this great-grandfather, right?!
...
The remaining demons were all taken to the Immortal Alliance.
After news of the Xu family's conspiracy spread, they instantly became the public enemy of the entire cultivation world.
Ling Mo, who had previously been the target of attacks and killings, became the most innocent victim in the whole affair. Everyone sympathized with his plight and marveled at his talent and strength.
Good heavens, they've been searching for him here like crazy.
Yet he quietly infiltrated right under their noses and became the strongest among the younger generation of cultivators in the entire cultivation world.
This experience... is truly the pinnacle of plot twists!
Most of the Xu family members practiced demonic techniques.
Now that their scheme has been exposed, they have no choice but to flee for their lives.
And their way out.
Currently, only the demon race remains.
Overnight, the Demon-Slaying Squad, members of the Immortal Alliance, and some spontaneously organized righteous individuals stormed the entire Xu family compound, forcing Xu Liuhan and her companions to flee in disarray.
The once prestigious Xu family is now reduced to a state of utter devastation.
In fact, the Xu family was the one who brought this demon-slaying team together.
They probably never expected this.
Ultimately, the Xu family was destroyed by the Demon-Slaying Squad.
"Xu Liuhan, where is the Floating Worry Fruit? If you hand it over, we can spare the rest of your Xu family."
A group of people surrounded Xu Liuhan and questioned him indignantly.
Currently, the Xu family only has two Floating Worry Fruits.
They barely managed to intercept Xu Liuhan ahead of everyone else, and they had to get their hands on the Floating Worry Fruit as soon as possible.
Xu Liuhan and Xu Xingzhi escaped separately.
Xu Liuhan has arranged for the main force of the Xu family to go and protect Xu Xingzhi.
They agreed that once they had separated and shaken off the people behind them, they would meet outside the Soul Cave.
