44. Avoiding disaster, reappearing

After a night's rest, Lu Feng said goodbye to Ke Xing, and the two were about to do what they had discussed the night before.

After leaving the Ke family, Lu Feng first went home, as what he needed to do involved the inner workings of Cangwu.

There must be some shocking secret he doesn't know about. If he hides this from his family, they might suffer an accident without him knowing the source of the accident.

This situation clearly does not conform to normal human thinking.

He could choose not to accept the mission, but having chosen this path, he had to bear the risks involved; everything has two sides.

Standing at a high place means facing the cold wind, let alone someone who has just crawled out of the mud; it's normal for him to face risks.

What he will face in the future will only be more dangerous. In Lu Feng's eyes, this was just a small test.

If you can't even handle this kind of interpersonal pressure, then when faced with real ghostly harm later on, will you run away in fear or run away at the sight of it?

Therefore, as soon as Lu Feng returned, he sat at the open-air stone table in the courtyard of his home.

For the first time ever, I didn't go to the Taoist temple or the training hall today.

It was only early morning, and the family members were still drinking porridge. When they saw Lu Feng sitting silently in the yard, they immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Mr. Lu and his second uncle came out first. As the elders in the family, they were the first to step forward when something happened.

The two found adjacent stone benches and waited for Lu Feng to speak.

Lu Feng didn't remain silent for long. Almost as soon as he sat down, he began to say everything he had in mind.

"Cangwu will become extremely dangerous next. To be honest, it involves a very high level of sophistication, and I'm afraid you might be in danger."

These words carry a heavy weight. For a disciple of the most powerful force in Cangwu to utter such words, the implications are chilling.

The second uncle remained silent, while Lu's father scratched his much whiter hair.

Finally, the two asked the question almost one after the other.

"What about your son?"

"Little nephew, why don't you go hide somewhere else?"

Hearing these two words, Lu Feng smiled and shook his head: "It's not that it's as risky as you think, it's just a precaution. The level involved is too high, so I need to take precautions early."

Upon hearing this, the two did not rush to ask what to do. Both of them were shrewd old foxes and had their own opinions on things.

Although Lu's father was a minor official, he had spent half his life in the government office and had some understanding of these things. Although he did not know the specifics, based on what his son said, it was probably similar to a factional struggle.

Thinking of this, he also offered his opinion: "I don't understand other things, but let me ask you this: are we in the light or in the dark right now?"

Lu Feng found the question rather strange, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "We should be in the open."

Lu Chen frowned, then continued, "This matter is troublesome. If we are in the shadows, we will be discovered if we make too much noise; if we are in the open, we will be exposed, and the other party must also be making plans. If I were the opponent, it would be impossible to attack a disciple of the Dao Academy. Since killing him is not an option, we must try to make him submit."

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng immediately understood its meaning.

The other party will threaten him by exploiting his weaknesses, and will inevitably target those around him.

Lu Chen sighed and added, "Son, we've been a burden to you."

Lu Feng frowned even more deeply. His strength was still too weak, and he was completely useless in this situation.

Just as Lu Feng was about to comfort his family, the Lu brothers exchanged a glance. Based on their tacit understanding from childhood, they naturally understood each other's meaning.

"I have a plan. Use us as bait. If they want to use us to threaten you and make you work for them, then use us as bait to lure them out!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng immediately stood up, shook his head resolutely, and said in a firm voice, "Don't mention this matter again. Today, you will come with me to the Dao Academy. I will go to find my master and have you stay there. I will see who dares to act arrogantly in the Dao Academy!"

Is he practicing so diligently so that he can push his loved ones out to take the fall when he encounters trouble?

The bait sounds nice, but if you're not careful, you might mess things up and end up killing your own people, not other people's.

The conversation on this side unconsciously grew much louder, drawing worried glances from Yuan Shi and the others. Xiao Wei, in particular, had a pure look in her eyes, seemingly unaware that the adults in her family were arguing so fiercely, and even muttered something under her breath.

"They've been arguing again."

Lu Feng got up and acted immediately, bringing his entire family along. To avoid any danger, he took them all into the Dao Academy. If necessary, he would find a Dao Palace to work for and blend in first.

This was indeed a method. When the family arrived at the entrance of the Taoist temple, the guardians only allowed Lu Feng to enter, while the rest were all stopped.

Lu Feng, who had just entered the Taoist temple, quickly came out, holding several temporary duty signs in his hand, corresponding to three places: Dharma Robe, Tending Grass and Trees, and Guarding the Way Patrol.

After settling his family in, Lu Feng, with no major concerns, went to the small shop where he was to meet Hu Zi.

After waiting for a while, Hu Zi, who had received the news, appeared in front of Lu Feng again. This time, he spoke first, and the fear in his eyes was even greater.

"Fengzi, there was another ghost in the outer city last night. It was a dilapidated house where a group of beggars lived. When people went there this morning, they were all dead. The way they died was no different from being killed by a ghost."

Lu Feng was caught off guard by this news. He was still thinking about investigating the Willow Lake incident when Night Ghost appeared!

Suddenly, I remembered what Mingyunzi had said at the grand banquet a few days ago.

This is truly a turbulent time for Cangwu!

Before we could even resolve the situation at Liuhu, the incident with the Night Ghost came up last night. Things just kept happening one after another, catching us completely off guard.

The key point is that the Night Demon had already been sealed away, and everyone at Yunxia Academy understands the significance of its reappearance.

Just then, the sound of horses' hooves echoed through the street, and the sound of whistles, clear and penetrating like the cry of an eagle, was followed by a series of repeated sounds.

"Effective immediately, Cangwu will implement three prohibitions: prohibition of people, prohibition of goods, and a curfew!"

The Three Prohibitions are orders issued only when a city faces an impending crisis of destruction.

There were various noises from the outside world, as well as other shouts.

"Night Demons, break the seal! Collect the White Stones immediately! Collect the White Stones immediately! Send a few people to the outer city and make sure every household registers to collect them!"

The sound gradually faded into the distance.

Tiger was stunned. The fact that he could still stand still after hearing this commotion shows how much mental fortitude he had developed recently.

Lu Feng frowned. The fact that this information was being spread publicly indicated that the situation was probably even more chaotic.

He said to Hu Zi, "Stop all plans for now, make arrangements for the brothers in the outer city, and make sure Bai Shi receives his orders. I'm going back to the Dao Academy first!"

Tiger replied and immediately rushed out of the small shop towards the outer city, while Lu Feng also headed towards the Dao Academy!
