Lin Fugui was still suffering in his heart.

Lin Hao seemed to have finished the conversation. He said in a low voice, "Okay, I'll go over now. We'll discuss it after I get there."

Before Lin Fugui could figure out what this meant, Lin Hao stuffed it back into the beast bag.

Lin Fugui: “???”

It turns out that it's not me who is unlucky, but others.

Lin Fugui immediately relaxed, collapsed like a rabbit cake, and took a nap peacefully in the animal bag.

It has been so tired over the years. Its owner keeps an eye on it every day, and it dares not relax at all. Now, while its owner is dealing with others, it can take a chance to catch up on some sleep.

Lin Hao rushed to Jiangcheng as quickly as possible and met his senior brother and master whom he hadn't seen for a long time, as well as someone Lin Hao hadn't expected - Shang Lu.

Lin Hao simply said hello and started the discussion.

Shang Lu’s joining surprised Lin Hao, but not that surprising.

Yue Miao has been missing and has not been found yet, and this fact is almost known to everyone.

At some point, word spread in the cultivation world that Yue Miao was a member of the Hua family, and everyone speculated that Yue Miao's disappearance was related to the Hua family.

Even Lin Hao, who never paid attention to these gossips, had heard about it, which showed how widely this matter had spread.

But in the face of these rumors, no one from the Hua family came forward to explain.

The Hua family has long been accustomed to being criticized and doesn't care about these rumors at all.

"After years of investigation, I found that the Hua family is divided into the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard. The outer courtyard is easier to enter, but the inner courtyard is difficult to enter."

Shang Lu comes to the Hua family to investigate several times almost every year, but until now, he has not found a way to enter the inner courtyard.

Lin Hao frowned slightly. Shang Lu's cultivation has now reached the late stage of Spirit Transformation.

Even though he was a medical practitioner who was not good at fighting, Lin Hao was surprised that he had not been able to get in for so many years.

"Is the Hua family's defense more strict than some large sects?"

Shang Lu shook his head. "That's not the case. Rather than saying that the Hua family has tight defense, it's better to say that the poisonous insects have tight defense. The poisonous insects can transmit messages through antennae, sound, wing vibrations, and many other methods.

If you startle one Gu worm, it means you will startle all the Gu worms in the Hua family. And it is almost impossible not to startle the Gu worms."

The information Shang Lu brought was very important, but it almost overturned all the plans that Lin Jinxing and Zhang Ziqing had discussed before.

The three of them looked heavy-hearted, and they lowered their heads in silence as they thought about what other solutions were possible.

Seeing that the three of them were silent, Shang Lu continued, "Also, in the past ten years or so, I have discovered that the Hua family's poisonous insects seem to have undergone some changes."

"What changes?" Chang Ziqing asked when he saw Shang Lu pause.

Shang Lu did not answer immediately, but hesitated for a moment before saying: "In the past, the poisonous insects of the Hua family relied on the cooperation with the host to fight. Generally, these poisonous insects have absorbed a lot of blood and life of the Hua family, and their strength is very strong.

But in the past ten years or so, the power of those poisonous insects has become much weaker, and they have been replaced by toxins that are difficult to guard against.

If the Gu Chong in the past was more like a powerful physical cultivator, then now the Gu Chong is a master of poison. With its flexible body and those difficult-to-solve Gu poisons, it always feels that the Hua family is more difficult to deal with now than before.

I am sure that the Hua family must have a genius in using poison! Although the Hua family was also good at using poison in the past, those poisons were not as difficult to deal with as the ones now."

Shang Lu's words made Lin Hao and the other two even more silent. The Hua family was indeed an iron barrel due to the difficult-to-avoid poisonous insects and the poisons. No wonder Shang Lu had been trying to enter the inner courtyard to inquire about Yue Miao's news for many years but to no avail.

Shang Lu looked at the three silent people without saying a word, just standing quietly by the side.

I have tried all kinds of methods over the years, but still haven't been able to find the whereabouts of my junior sister. I just hope that this time I can use the power of Nanyou Immortal Venerable to rescue my junior sister.

This time, Shang Lu told the three of them everything he had learned about the Hua family over the years, except for one thing.

He discovered that some of the methods used by the poison master of the Hua family to prepare poison were very similar to those used by his junior sister.

For example, Junior Sister is used to using Moon Grass to reconcile the conflicting properties of two poisons, and this poison master also likes to use it this way.

Yuebaicao itself is a very poisonous herb with extremely strong medicinal properties. Back then, the junior sister accidentally balanced the toxicity of this herb.

But few outsiders should know this method.

There was a look of struggle in Shang Lu's eyes, but in the end he did not say it out loud.

If she told others, Junior Sister would easily be misunderstood as being in cahoots with the Hua family. Then, even if she came back, she would be criticized. Maybe she was just forced.

Yes! Junior Sister must have been forced!

Lin Hao and the other two discussed for a long time and finally decided to go to Hua's house tonight to see the specific situation.

Even though Shang Lu had explained it clearly enough, the three of them still had to go and see it in detail so that they would have a better idea.

Shang Lu was somewhat dissatisfied with the plan he heard.

"But this could easily alert the enemy."

Lin Jinxing stepped forward and said, "What we want is to alert the enemy!"

Shang Lu looked at Lin Jinxing in confusion.

Seeing this, Lin Hao continued, "If the Hua family does not make any move, we will have no solution. Only if there is movement, we will know what to do next."

Shang Lu suddenly understood the meaning of Lin Hao's words.

Finally, they decided that Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing would visit Hua's house at night.

After the plan was finalized, Shang Lu was still a little hesitant.

He could see that Lin Hao was only in the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage. Although he was bound to be discovered, with such strength, he could go to the Hua family to investigate. Wasn't he just going to deliver his food?

Lin Jinxing noticed Shang Lu's hesitation, and he glanced at him coldly, "My junior brother will never hold us back."

Shang Lu, whose secret was guessed, smiled awkwardly and never mentioned the matter again.

But this does not mean that he believed what Lin Jinxing said before.

In Shang Lu's opinion, Lin Hao is his junior fellow apprentice, so Lin Jinxing naturally thinks highly of him.

But Shang Lu had no intention of refutation. With Lin Jinxing's current strength in the Void Refinement Realm, he was fully capable of escaping unscathed with a burden.

Then why does he say those useless words and make people feel disgusted?

At night, Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing changed into black clothes. To be on the safe side, they took a disguise pill before heading towards the Hua family.

When I entered the outer courtyard, it was calm and there were only a few people patrolling, so I could easily avoid them.

But when they were about to enter the inner courtyard, they noticed something was wrong.

It’s so quiet in there!

It shouldn't be this quiet!
