The Legend of the Demon Hunter

The caravan was stunned by the scene before them. Everyone stood there in a daze, dumbfounded.

At this time, a young man who looked to be in his twenties appeared in front of everyone. The most eye-catching thing was that he had a pair of blue and white wings on his back. Luo Lou was a high-level demon hunter after all, and had experienced many storms. He was the first to react and realized that it was the young man in front of him who saved them. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Thank you for saving my life, senior. May I ask your name? Luo Lou will repay you in the future!"

Everyone in the caravan suddenly realized that they had just been to the gates of hell. If it weren't for this young man's intervention, more than a dozen people would have been killed by the Amethyst Scorpion.

The man in front of him looked very young, but his cultivation was terrifyingly high. He destroyed more than a dozen level three monsters with just a wave of his hand. This strength was truly unbelievable!

However, the boss of the caravan, the gray-haired old man, was also a man who had seen the world. He followed closely behind Luo Lou and bowed to Xiao Zhu, saying, "Thank you, Enlu, for helping me when I saw injustice. I am honored to be here."

Seeing these two people stepping forward to express their gratitude, the dozen or so survivors of the caravan stepped forward one after another and thanked the young man endlessly.

"No need to be so polite, everyone. My name is Xiao Zhu. I just happened to pass by here and saw you were in danger, so I offered my help." Xiao Zhu responded to the greetings one by one.

Xiao Zhu's action won great favor from everyone in the caravan. Based on their past experience, let alone a demon hunter as powerful as Xiao Zhu, even ordinary low-level demon hunters would be arrogant and look down on these civilians.

At this time, the old man in the caravan seemed to have thought of something, and he shouted to the carriage behind him: "Rou'er, why don't you come down and thank the benefactor!"

As the old man said this, the curtain of the carriage was drawn open, and a beautiful and slender woman walked down. She bowed gently to Xiao Zhu, and said in a gentle and tactful voice: "My name is Le Tianrou, thank you for your kindness."

When Xiao Zhu heard the woman's self-introduction, his eyes were immediately attracted to her. After a moment, Xiao Zhu realized that it was quite impolite to look directly at a woman. The woman also felt Xiao Zhu's slightly offensive gaze, and an unnatural blush appeared on her face.

Xiao Zhujiang quickly turned his gaze to the old man in the caravan and asked, "Old senior, may I ask, what is your relationship with the Letian family of the Rhine Empire?"

When the old man heard Xiao Zhu's question and took a closer look at Xiao Zhu's clothes, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and he asked hurriedly: "Could it be that the benefactor is also from the Rhine Empire? My name is Letian Shangcheng, and this is my daughter Letianrou. We are from the Letian family."

"What a coincidence!" Xiao Zhu also showed a surprised expression when he heard Letian Shangcheng's answer.

However, what puzzled Xiao Zhu was that the legendary Le Tian family was one of the eight great families in the Rhine Empire. Because they mastered the craftsmanship of refining storage jade bracelets and guarded a space jade mine, they were not as rich as a country, but at least they were a big family. But why were there only a few dozen people here now? And they almost died in the mouth of a group of third-level magic beasts, purple crystal poisonous scorpions.

"Excuse me, senior, do you know a person named Letianyin?" Xiao Zhu asked.

Hearing Xiao Zhu's question, Le Tian Shangcheng's face was suddenly filled with sadness. He did not answer, but just sighed softly.

"Old senior, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Zhu asked anxiously.

"Alas, benefactor, you don't know that Letianyin is my deceased eldest son and Rouer's biological brother." Letian Shangcheng replied sadly.

"What? Le Tianyin passed away?" Xiao Zhu was stunned when he heard this. Although Le Tianyin and Xiao Zhu had some conflicts because of Xia Shi when they were in Nuowan College, it was just a grudge during their student days. Now that so many years have passed, Xiao Zhu has long forgotten it.

When he heard the news of Letianyin's death, the first thing that came to his mind was regret and sadness.

"My benefactor, please forgive me for asking this question, but have you ever recognized my daughter Yin'er?" Le Tian Shangcheng asked with great sorrow.

"Senior, five years ago, Letianyin was my classmate at Nuowan College." Xiao Zhu answered truthfully.

"It seems that Yin'er is not as bad as I thought because I can meet a classmate like you." A trace of relief appeared on Le Tian Shangcheng's face. He continued, "But that past is a scar in my heart. I really don't want to recall it again. Rou'er, please tell me about that experience for me, your benefactor!"

Hearing this, Le Tianrou stepped forward and softly narrated, "For hundreds of years, our Le Tian family has made a living by refining storage jade bracelets. With years of accumulation, we have gradually developed into a large-scale family. We can be said to be blessed by heaven. But the Le Tian family has always had an invisible scar, that is, although the family is rich, it has never cultivated excellent demon hunters. The most powerful ones are the two senior demon hunters of my father's generation, who are also my two uncles."

"My elder brother, Letianyin, is my father's eldest son. He completed his blood awakening when he was six years old. He has the extremely rare Tianlai blood. It is rumored that the founder of the Letian family had Tianlai blood. The entire Letian family was very excited at the time, thinking that he was blessed by God and was chosen as the next generation successor of the Letian family. As a result, my father's prestige surpassed that of his two uncles and he became the helmsman of the Letian family at that time."

"Three years ago, my elder brother Letianyin graduated from Novan College. When he returned to the family, he was already a high-level demon hunter who had completed three blood awakenings. More importantly, he was only 23 years old that year, which was considered a legend in the Letian family! So my father passed the position of clan leader to my elder brother, which was also the expectation of the clan."

"My brother showed his great talent and strategy as soon as he ascended the throne. He not only proposed to expand the mining space of jade mines to increase the production of storage jade bracelets, but also put forward the lofty ambition of becoming the largest family in the Rhine Empire. It's a pity..." Le Tianrou didn't know how to continue for a moment.

"It's a pity that my son is incompetent. Not only did he encounter a mine collapse when expanding mining capacity, resulting in the tragic deaths of hundreds of workers, but he also offended another large family in the empire, the Yang family, because of his eagerness for expansion. My son was framed by the Yang family and was tragically besieged and killed by monsters." Letian Shangcheng continued the conversation expressionlessly.

"Ah? It's really like this..." Xiao Zhu was surprised and regretful when he heard these things.

"After my brother passed away, the Letian family put all the blame on my father's line, so we were expelled from the family. In recent years, my father has been doing business to make a living, which is to transport pearls from Chaoxi Country to Tianfang Country and Rhine Empire. Over the years, the business has gradually improved. A few days ago, my father bought a house in Baifan Town, Chaoxi Country, and prepared to move the whole family there. Unexpectedly, we were attacked by monsters here. Not to mention that more than half of the family members were killed, if it weren't for the chivalrous help of the benefactor, I'm afraid we would all be buried here in the near future."

"I will never forget the kindness you have shown to our family today..."

At the end, Letianrou's voice was choked with sobs.
