Rebirth of Jinxuan

Chapter 44: Demonic Form Exposed, Causing Conflict

The chilling aura emanating from Zhang Yuxi caused Luo Qiang to involuntarily take a step back.

Although he was reckless, he wasn't stupid; he could sense the dangerous aura emanating from the other party.

The tense atmosphere in the air grew even stronger, like a taut string that could snap at any moment.

At this moment, a large number of people quickly surrounded Renhe Pharmacy. Luo Si, the leader of the demon-hunting team, rode in on a tall horse, followed by a mighty demon-hunting team, which completely surrounded the pharmacy.

Luo Si dismounted, his gaze sweeping over the crowd with a gloomy expression before finally settling on Luo Li.

“Rory, come back with me.” His tone was authoritative, carrying the authority of a superior.

Luo Li stood behind Zhang Yuxi, stubbornly shaking his head, "I'm not going back! I want to stay here!"

A white-haired elder standing beside Luo Si stroked his beard and said impatiently, "Si'er, why waste words with this brat! Take him back directly!"

Luo Si frowned. He also wanted to take Luo Li away directly, but behind Luo Li stood Zhang Yuxi, a man of unfathomable strength.

If a fight breaks out, Rory will inevitably get hurt.

He hesitated for a moment, then softened his tone, "Rory, listen to me, this is not a place for you. The Demon Hunters are your home, it's safe there."

“I don’t need your protection!” Rory said firmly. “I’m fine here! They’re very good to me.”

The elder snorted coldly, "What good can they possibly be up to by following a bunch of people of unknown origin! Kid, don't be fooled by them!"

Zhang Yuxi stepped forward, blocking Luo Li's path, and stared coldly at Luo Si. "Commander Luo, I have been tolerant of you because I respect you as an elder. If you dare to speak rudely again, don't blame me for being impolite!" His aura suddenly erupted, and the powerful pressure made those around him feel suffocated.

Luo Si's expression changed, and he was secretly alarmed.

He hadn't expected Zhang Yuxi to be so powerful; it seemed that taking Rory away today wouldn't be an easy task.

He hesitated, wondering how to persuade her, when he saw Luo Wu slowly step forward, his gaze sweeping meaningfully over Lu Jinxuan and the others, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips...

Luo Wu stepped forward, gently waving his feather fan. His sharp gaze swept over Lu Jinxuan and the others, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

"Commander Luo, I think these people are of unknown origin and probably not good people." He paused, his gaze falling on Lu Jinxuan, his tone meaningful, "Especially this lady, her behavior seems... not human."

Luo Si was taken aback by these words and looked at Luo Wu with a puzzled expression. "What do you mean by that?"

Luo Wu lightly waved his feather fan and spoke eloquently: "I observe that this person has an extraordinary bearing, yet he also exudes a faint demonic aura. Moreover, this young man..." He pointed to Lu Yuhang, "...there are even some demonic features between his brows. Commander Luo, you have dealt with demons for many years, haven't you noticed anything unusual?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Li, who was standing behind Zhang Yuxi, immediately jumped out and pointed at Luo Wu, loudly retorting, "You're talking nonsense! They're not demons! They're all good people!"

Luo Wu wasn't annoyed. Instead, he looked at Luo Li with a smile and said gently, "Little Luo Li, I know you're kind-hearted and easily deceived. These people are so sweet-talking and charming that they've completely fooled you. How can you tell their true colors? The Demon Hunting Team is your real home. Your real family is here. Come here and don't be fooled by them."

Rory's face turned red with anger. Pointing at Luo Wu's nose, he yelled, "Stop pretending to be a good person! You're a liar! You lied to my grandpa, to my dad, to everyone! You..."

Luo Wu's smile remained, but his eyes gradually turned cold, like a venomous snake eyeing its prey.

“Little Luo, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want. Everyone in the Demon Hunting Team knows who I am. But you, at such a young age, have already learned to spout nonsense. It seems these demons have had quite an influence on you.” He turned to Luo Si, his tone cold, “Commander Luo, when dealing with demons, there’s no need to show mercy. Just kill one of them, take out the demon core, and the truth will naturally come out.”

Lu Jinxuan felt a chill run down her spine. She felt Luo Wu's gaze was like a knife, piercing straight into her, giving her the illusion that he could see right through her.

Zhang Yuxi, standing beside him, remained calm, as if she hadn't taken Luo Wu's words to heart at all.

He spoke slowly, his voice deep and imposing, "Commander Luo, it seems a fierce battle is inevitable today..."

Lu Jinxuan's heart sank. Luo Wu's gaze made her feel uneasy. This seemingly casual action made her feel that her hidden identity had been seen through.

Did he discover something?

But she concealed it very well.

"Even if we are demons, we are good demons!" Lu Yuhang suddenly jumped out, his face flushed, clenching his fists and glaring at Luo Wu. "We have never harmed anyone!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback, then burst into laughter.

Luo Qiang laughed loudly, "Little brat, a demon is a demon, there's no such thing as good or bad. Just surrender obediently and you'll suffer less!"

Qian Feng walked to Mo Chenfan's side and whispered a reminder: "Brother Mo, they're about to make a move, what should we do?" Mo Chenfan frowned, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the Luo family members and Lu Jinxuan, unable to make a decision for a moment.

Luo Wu snorted coldly, waved his feather fan, and the members of the demon-hunting team behind him drew their weapons, surrounding Renhe Pharmacy completely.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Lu Jinxuan clenched her hands, which were hidden in her sleeves, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her palms.

"Stop!" Rory suddenly shouted, rushing to Rory's side and spreading his arms to block the crowd. "Go back! Don't hurt them!"

Luo Wu's eyes turned cold, his tone chilling, "Luo Li, don't be fooled by them! If they are demons..."

"If they are demons, then we must not let them go!" Luo Wu interrupted Luo Li sharply, a ruthless glint in his eyes. "Demons are to be killed by everyone! Don't be bewitched by them!"

Lu Jinxuan discreetly concealed several pills in her palm, lightly twirling them between her fingertips, preparing for battle.

Lu Yuhang gripped Lu Jinxuan's clothes tightly, his face full of worry.

Rory turned around and stood in front of Old Qian, his small figure full of strength.

"You are not allowed to hurt the Qian family and Madam Lu! They are all good people!" He pointed at the Luo family members, his childish voice carrying an undeniable firmness, "If you dare to lay a hand on them, I...I..." He was speechless for a moment, but still stubbornly glared at everyone.

"Rory, stop fooling around!" Luo Si sternly reprimanded, "Come here quickly, don't interfere with our demon hunting!"

Rory, however, remained unmoved and stood even more firmly in place, his small body like an insurmountable wall.

“They’re not demons! They saved me and helped Doctor Qian! If you dare touch them, I’ll…” He took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on Luo Si, and said, word by word, “I’ll die right here…”

Rory shouted at the top of his lungs, his small body trembling.

Luo Si's expression changed, a flicker of pain flashing in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by coldness. "Luo Li, I'm your closest person, how could you..."

“My dearest person?” Rory laughed bitterly, his laughter filled with sorrow. “No, you’re not! My dearest person… you killed him!” He pointed at Rory, his voice trembling. “Now, you’re going to hurt my benefactor! I will never allow it!”

Luo Qiang, who had been impatient all along, roared, "Why waste words with this brat! This monster deserves to be killed, attack!" The Luo family members, who could no longer contain themselves, drew their weapons upon hearing Luo Qiang's command and rushed towards the people in the pharmacy.

Luo Si looked at the people rushing out, then at Luo Li who was blocking the crowd. A struggle flashed in his eyes, but in the end he just clenched his fists tightly and did not stop them.

Rory looked at the Rory family members rushing towards him, his small face full of determination.

He held onto Old Qian tightly behind him, his eyes shining with determination.

"You won't be allowed to harm Doctor Qian and Madam Lu!"

Looking at Luo Li, who was protecting him, Old Qian felt a surge of warmth in his heart, but at the same time, he was also filled with worry.

He patted Rory on the shoulder and said in a hoarse voice, "Rory, don't be afraid. I'm an old man with nothing to fear!"

Lu Jinxuan glanced at the Luo family members rushing towards her, a cold glint in her eyes. She handed the pills in her hand to Lu Yuhang, "Hang'er, protect yourself and Elder Qian."

Lu Yuhang accepted the pill and nodded solemnly.

Looking at the Luo family members rushing towards them, Zhang Yuxi slowly said, "Looks like I can stretch my muscles a bit today..."

Mo Chenfan gripped his sword tightly, his gaze resolute as he looked at the charging Luo family members. He knew a fierce battle was inevitable…

The Luo family members drew closer, swords gleaming, a chilling aura filling the air. Luo Li tightly closed his eyes…
