Meng family
Library
Meng Hao said, "What are you doing here?"
She said, "I came back to the family a few moments ago and didn't find you. So I came here looking for you."
Meng Hao remembered, "Original Meng Hao's sister is an inner disciple of a 2sd class sect."
He asked, "Can you tell me where I can find Pure Essence Weed?"
His sister said, "You can find it on every mountain. It is a common grass. But seeing your cultivation stage I recommend you to go White Palm Tree Mountain. It is most safest for you. This mountain is west side of Ning City."
Meng Hao thanked her and left the place.
But his sister was a bit suspicious of him. She thought, "This is the first time that my brother didn't talk to me much. What's going on? His behavior looks changed. I don't remember he came before to the library."
Meng Hao left the Meng family mansion with his guard. He did not wait. He left the place in the evening.
A few hours later,
Nearby forest of Meng family
Some eyes were watching from the deep forest. They were Lu Si and others. That night was dark. There was no moon in the sky. That was why the surroundings looked so dark.
Lu Si said, "I am going first. When I subdue the guard then all of you will enter."
They said, "Okay. Senior brother Lu Si."
Lu Si rushed to the Meng family entrance. He threw the poisoned needle from a long distance and hit some guards. They fell immediately to the ground. Lu Si continued. He entered secretly and killed guards one by one. Most of the guards were at initial stage cultivator. But they fell one by one without making any sound.
Lu Si thought, "If any member of this family was already in Immortal Ascension stage then they would have divine sense with which they could easily detect me from so far. But this small family did not have one."
He killed all the guards and returned to the forest. Some time later, the Meng family was in chaos. Everywhere only commotion could be heard.
Some strong cultivators went out to find the invader. But if anyone entered the nearby forest to search they were immediately killed by Lu Si's needle attack.
This way more time passed.
Later they discovered that those who entered the forest didn't come back. So all of them started searching in the forest. Seeing most of the guards enter the forest, Lu Si and others went to the deeper area in the forest according to their plan.
Midnight
The forest became very quiet. Lu Si had killed all the guards and Meng family members who entered the forest.
He was in Body Tempering fourth stage so he was fit and fine, and his three brothers were not in good condition. In this fight their energy was exhausted.
Some were a bit injured.
Lu Si said, "Hide somewhere. I am going to enter the Meng family. When I kill their patriarch I will summon all of you. This battle is not for you to be involved."
Saying this, he left the forest. Some cultivators remained outside. But Lu Si attacked them one by one with his needles and killed half easily. The people who survived his attack were mostly Qi Transformation stage cultivators. Only the Meng family patriarch was in Separate and Reunion stage.
Meng family patriarch asked, "Who are you? Why did you invade our family?"
Lu Si said, "Because I want some things from you."
Meng family patriarch asked, "What is that?"
Lu Si replied, "Your ancestor crops. I want them for my cultivation."
The remaining family were shocked and angry.
One of them growled, "You demon. You invaded because you want our ancestor's dead body."
Meng Hao's sister said, "I am an inner disciple of Reflecting Moon sect. My Reflecting Moon Sect will kill you and your family for this."
Lu Si mocked, "Your Reflecting Moon Sect is a 2sd class sect while I am member of Ghost King Valley which has the power equal of a 1st class righteous sect. Your sect dare to attack us? Ha ha..."
Meng Hao's sister clenched her teeth. She growled, "You bastard. Heaven will punish you."
Lu Si said, "Heaven? Hey, are you kidding me? Ha ha. You are day dreaming. Okay it's enough to talk with you. I am in a hurry."
Meng family elders attacked him directly. But Lu Si dodged and ran into the forest again.
All the elders went before him and entered the forest.
Lu Si attacked them every few moments. He hid, attacked again, hid and attacked again.
But this time he did not act recklessly. His needles were almost finished.
He thought, "I can't defeat Meng family elders this way. Wait... during our journey I found a fifth stage bear in the forest. I can use that to deal with the elders." He increased his speed and rushed toward the bear's direction.
Some time later he reached that place. He passed at a safe distance, but one of the elders unfortunately woke the bear. It attacked that Meng family elder. Others came to help him but in the end they mostly died by the bear only one remain. Obviously Lu Si don't know this.Why will he stay here to see who died and who not.He left that place as soon as possible.He don't want to deal with a 5th stage bear.
Lu Si successfully escaped because all the elders were fighting with the bear.
He came back to the place where the Meng family patriarch and his daughter were waiting.
Seeing him they said, "Why are you here? Where are my clan elders?"
Lu Si smiled and did not say anything. Sometimes there was no need to say a word. Lu Si's eyes fell on Meng Hao's sister. He observed her and said, "Patriarch Meng. You should stop now or no one of your family could survive this day."
At that time an elder came out from the forest who was badly injured. He had somehow got out. Lu Si's gaze caught on the elder.
The elder tried to say something but he could not.
Lu Si immediately ran fast and went away from the place.
Meng family patriarch and his daughter did not understand why he ran away.
But suddenly they heard a sound.
Grrrrr.
A bear came out from the forest. It was fifth stage. Meng family patriarch and his daughter understood why Lu Si had run away immediately after seeing the injured elder.
The bear's foot left deep marks on the soft earth. Its breath was loud. The night air felt heavy. The family men held their weapons but they were still afraid. The bear's eyes were fierce. It moved like a mountain.
Meng Hao's sister stood close to her father. Her hands trembled. She looked at the beast and then at Lu Si's place in the forest. She wanted to speak but fear stopped her.
The patriarch shouted orders, but his voice shook. The guards who remained were wounded and weak. The bear was too strong for them.
At that moment the Meng family realized the attack was larger than they thought. The house was in danger. The fields would be lost. Their ancestors' tombs could be taken.
Night deepened. The forest seemed alive with sound. The bear roared again. The family gathered close, preparing for the worst. Outside, Lu Si and his brothers were already moving quietly in the dark, watching the chaos they had made. The plan had worked so far.
