Chapter 653 The Mighty Aura of Wushi Turning His Hand Over the Clouds (Part 2)
Tiger Roar Hall originally had three deputy hall masters, starting with Shi Meng.

Zhao Qian, Yao Qin, and Lü Xiaoren.

As time went by, many people only remembered them as deputy hall masters of the Tiger Roar Hall, forgetting that Lü Xiaoren had another identity.

He is Shi Meng's junior brother.

Back when Huxiaotang was still called Lingxiaotang, Shi Meng and Lü Xiaoren were fellow disciples under the same teacher.

Over the years, the two brothers have supported each other and together transformed Lingxiaotang from a sect that tamed beasts into a gang dominated by Shi Meng.

It's hard to explain to outsiders how much effort and hard work went into this.

However, the older folks who know the story from back then know very well that without Lü Xiaoren, there would be no Shi Meng as we know him today.

Over the years, Lü Xiaoren's status within the Tiger Roaring Hall gradually declined, but Shi Meng's trust in him and his loyalty to his elder brother never changed.

Today, Lü Xiaoren, severely injured, appeared outside this small courtyard outside Wushi City. His body was trembling, and a bright green owl perched on his left shoulder.

"Uncle, what did you call me?"

Huang Lai'er, who had met Su Che once before, asked with a silly smile.

"You are the son of Huang Taiyong, the city lord of Wushi City. Your family has been a prestigious lineage for seven generations. Wushi City originally belonged to your family..."

"enough."

A hoarse voice came from inside the thatched hut.

"Do you think this little beast doesn't know?"

Huang Lai'er chuckled.

"Godmother, this man is stupid, do you want to eat him?"

Lü Xiaoren swallowed hard.

He knew all too well the terror of the monster inside.

“This man is already useless. Even if we eat his heart and liver, it won’t help Mother.”

An old woman came out of the room, leaning on a cane.

She was less a woman and more a living monster.

The original head was nowhere to be seen; instead, a weasel's head, the size of an earthenware pot, had been sewn onto its neck with needle and thread. Seven or eight crooked arms, shriveled and like needles, had grown out of its back.

Her lower body was swollen like a water tank, and her two legs were no longer visible. They were wrapped in layers of cloth, and thick black fluid was oozing out from the dark cloth.

Only the cold, green light in its eyes proved that it was still alive.

"Third wife."

Upon seeing the monster, Lü Xiaoren forced himself to suppress the nausea in his chest and still bowed slowly to it according to etiquette.

"The head of the hall sends his greetings."

"Shi Meng?"

The monster known as the Third Madam raised her head and sniffed the air.

"Is he still the leader of the Tiger Roar Hall?"

"nature."

Lu Xiaoren firmly stated, "Everything is under the control of the Hall Master."

"Hahahahaha..."

The monster let out a laugh that sounded like a broken bellows being smashed by an iron rod.

"That little beast..."

It pointed at Huang Lai'er's head: "That's what his father told me before he was killed by Babi."

Huang Lai'er laughed along, but the resentment in his eyes was completely undisguised.

"Your senior brother is crippled, Ghost Cry died, and Thunder Patrol is completely silent."

The monster known as Third Madam looked at Lü Xiaoren.

“If it weren’t for all these years of you sending me cultivators as food, and this little beast bringing me snacks, I wouldn’t be alive now. Do you really think I know nothing? Ghost Cry didn’t even make it to the second move against that person.”

"The situation is different now."

Lu Xiaoren pointed to his chest and said.

"what is the difference?"

The "Third Madam" grinned maliciously.

"The difference in my opinion is that I couldn't have you before, but now you've come to me for the taking."

"That old beast." Lü Xiaoren clenched his fists.

For so many years, my senior brother kept this wicked creature around, but in the end, it turned out to be a dangerous beast.

"There is an opportunity right now."

Lu Xiaoren calmly looked at the third wife in front of him and said.

"The Anguo army has already set off, heading straight for Xiaoqingshan. It will take them at most ten days to reach Wushi City."

"Anguo?"

The third wife laughed sarcastically, "Does Anguo still exist in this world?"

Over a hundred years ago, the Kingdom of An, one of the seventy-two kingdoms, was conquered by demons and became a kingdom under the rule of the Demon King. The so-called army of An was simply the Demon King of An sending troops to attack.

"The only solution now is for the Third Madam to cooperate with us."

Lu Xiaoren said solemnly, "This will allow the Huang family to reclaim Wushi City, which has always been the wish of my family's leader."

"Shit."

The third wife grinned, revealing her rotten teeth.

"Let Shi Meng use those lies to fool his father. The Huang family was wiped out because they believed him."

"Things are different now. We have already allied with Anguo..."

"The injuries on your body."

The third wife smelled the air.

"How did it come about?"

Lü Xiaoren's expression changed.

"Yes……"

The third wife opened her eyes and glared angrily at Lü Xiaoren.

"You attracted them?"

Suddenly, a mournful suona horn rang out in the air.

Then came the booming of drums.

Outside, it sounded like someone was singing a mournful song, or like countless children were laughing and making a ruckus.

"You little beast, run!"

The third wife looked at the boy beside her.

"Go somewhere where nobody knows you."

Huang Lai'er looked at the mother above.

For many years, he had had enough of this monster.

This monster forbade him to cultivate, this monster forced him to go out and find blood to eat, this monster even forbade him to learn to read.

Many passing cultivators have said that Huang Lai'er has talent in cultivation and wanted to take him as a disciple, but in the end, they were all ambushed and eaten by this monster.

Huang Lai'er longed for the monster to die every day.

It once told Huang Lai'er that it was not Huang Lai'er's biological mother, but only his father's concubine.

It was once a powerful demon at the level of the Rejuvenation Core stage.

Huang Lai'er didn't know what level the Rejuvenation Pill was, but it should be higher than that of the cultivators he had met, otherwise those people wouldn't have died.

Huang Lai'er suddenly realized that this terrifying monster might finally be going to die.

For some reason, he felt a sense of sadness.

A gust of wind swept up, enveloping Huang Lai'er's body and throwing her high into the sky.

Huang Lai'er closed his eyes. He could see everything on the ground getting smaller and smaller, and he could also see some white shadows in the distance.

Those tiny white shadows looked like many children laughing and playing.

"You surnamed Lü, you're a real jinx."

The third wife straightened up as she spoke.

"Each each other."

A hint of relief flashed in Lü Xiaoren's eyes. He gently patted the owl on his shoulder, and the blue bird flapped its wings and flew high into the sky.

The owl spread its wings and flew eastward, heading straight for Wushi City.
