Chapter 55: Luotian Elder!

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

“Who is the Foreign Monk?”

The burly man asked the ugly woman.

The two of them were none other than Lu Changsheng and Li Hongzhuang, who had disguised themselves and arrived at Giant Tablet City.

“The Foreign Monk is called Luotian Elder, one of the four elders of the Cui family.”

“He’s a person who loves drinking and women, has a bloodthirsty nature, and doesn’t resemble a monk at all.”

“He possesses an extremely powerful Golden Vajra Hand Seal technique and is quite skilled in organ refining.”

“Many tasks that the Cui family finds inconvenient to do are delegated to Luotian Elder.”

Li Hongzhuang spoke with a cold tone while gritting her teeth.

Clearly, when the Li family was destroyed, Luotian Elder probably played a role.

“Let’s find a place to settle first.”

Lu Changsheng said.

“I’ve already purchased a courtyard.”

Li Hongzhuang had prepared everything in advance, and the two of them went directly to a courtyard not far from the Cui family’s residence.

From the courtyard, you could even see the Cui family’s mansion.

After entering the courtyard and resting for a while, Lu Changsheng asked, “Miss Li, do you know who the experts in the Cui family are?”

“Of course, the Cui family has thirteen organ-refining warriors, with nine of them being Cui family members and the other four being Cui family’s elders.”

“Among them, there are three peak organ-refining warriors from the Cui family and two from the elders.”

Lu Changsheng nodded inwardly.

What Li Hongzhuang described about the Cui family’s warriors was similar to what he knew.

“What about the strength of the five peak organ-refining warriors? Do you know?”

Lu Changsheng asked cautiously.

He wasn’t lacking confidence in his own abilities, but he was being extremely careful.

After all, this was the Cui family’s territory, and anything could happen.

“I’ve encountered the two peak organ-refining elders from the Cui family last time, and they should be slightly weaker than Zhao Qilei.”

“As for the three peak organ-refining warriors from the Cui family, I’ve never seen them, so 1 don’t know their strength.”

Li Hongzhuang replied truthfully.

“In fact, no matter how strong the peak organ-refining warriors are, they probably won’t be much stronger than Zhao Qilei.”

“What’s most important now is to find out where the Cui family has hidden the Essence-Searing Pill.”

“The last time 1 infiltrated the Cui family to steal the Essence-Searing Pill, 1 was discovered, and it was already a case of raising the alarm. Trying to infiltrate the Cui family again to steal the Essence-Searing Pill will be very difficult…”

Li Hongzhuang hesitated.

After all, the Cui family had suffered losses the last time, would they be willing to suffer losses a second time?

Once they truly attempted to infiltrate the Cui family, unexpected incidents might occur.

“There’s no need to infiltrate the Cui family at all.”

“The Essence-Searing Pill is a Cui family secret, and very few people should know about it. Even if we infiltrate the Cui family, can you guarantee that you’ll find the Essence-Searing Pill? Furthermore, the Cui family will be prepared, and searching aimlessly is like finding a needle in a haystack.”

“All we need to do is find someone who knows about the Cui family’s Essence-Searing Pill and force them to reveal its whereabouts.”

“Do you have any candidates in mind, Miss Li?”

Li Hongzhuang pondered.

She had considered the possibility of capturing someone from the Cui family to force them to reveal the information.

However, the Essence-Searing Pill was a core secret of the Cui family, known only to their most trusted members. Ordinary individuals had no knowledge of it.

The core members of the Cui family who might know about the Essence-Searing Pill were primarily the nine organ-refining warriors.

“Those who know about the Essence-Searing Pill in the Cui family are mostly the organ-refining warriors. They rarely leave and usually stay within the Cui family.”

“As for the Cui family’s patriarch, although he appears frequently, he is often accompanied by numerous skilled individuals, making it difficult to approach.”

Li Hongzhuang furrowed her brow as she explained.

“You mentioned earlier that Luotian Elder specializes in tasks that the Cui family finds inconvenient. Is there a chance he knows about the Essence-Searing Pill?”

Lu Changsheng suddenly asked.

“Luotian Elder?”

Li Hongzhuang was momentarily surprised, and as she carefully recalled the information about Luotian Elder, her eyes brightened slightly.

“Luotian Elder is one of the earliest among the four elders of the Cui family and has a very close relationship with the Cui family.”

“Many tasks that the Cui family finds inconvenient are entrusted to Luotian Elder. For instance, during my investigation into the purchase of materials for the Essence-Searing Pill, I often noticed Luotian Elder’s presence. This means that Luotian Elder was definitely involved in collecting materials for the Essence-Searing Pill and likely knows about it.”

“Luotian Elder enjoys drinking and women, often seeking pleasure and entertainment outside, so it’s relatively easy to track his movements. However, he is also very cautious and never strays too far from the Cui family’s residence.”

“Moreover, Luotian Elder is extremely powerful. Trying to defeat him or force him to speak would be quite challenging…”

Li Hongzhuang stopped and turned her gaze toward Lu Changsheng.

She knew that the “Thirteen” before her was one of the top organ-refining experts, capable of killing Zhao Qilei. Defeating Luotian Elder would likely not be a problem.

“Alright, the target is set—Luotian Elder.”

“Miss Li, once you gather information on Luotian Elder’s whereabouts, leave the rest to me.”

“That’s not a problem. However, if Luotian Elder doesn’t know about the Essence-Searing Pill…”

Li Hongzhuang’s gaze locked onto Lu Changsheng.

“If Luotian Elder doesn’t know, we’ll move on to the next one. If the second and third don’t know either, we’ll deal with them all.”

“With so many people in the Cui family, we can go one by one. Someone is bound to know the whereabouts of the Essence-Searing Pill.”

Lu Changsheng spoke calmly but with a confident and unquestionably domineering tone.

Yes, it was pure dominance in the eyes of “Thirteen.” The Cui family seemed inconsequential.

If one didn’t work, there were two. If two didn’t work, there were three. If three didn’t work, they’d deal with all of them. Someone was sure to know about the Essence-Searing Pill.

How domineering was that?

Li Hongzhuang was pleased with “Thirteen’s” confidence. With such confidence, it would be easier for her to obtain the Essence-Searing Pill.

“Great, let’s take a break first. I’ll go out to gather information about Luotian Elder.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

So, he took a short break while Li Hongzhuang changed her appearance and attire once again and quickly went out to gather information.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

It was now nighttime, and a crescent moon hung in the sky.

Li Hongzhuang and Lu Changsheng changed their appearances and attire again. They were standing outside the “Yihong Pavilion.”

“Yihong Pavilion is the largest brothel in Giant Tablet City, controlled by the Cui family, essentially serving as one of their assets.”

“It’s not far from the Cui family’s residence, and Luotian Elder often visits Yihong Pavilion for entertainment.”

“Luotian Elder usually comes here about every three days, so he’ll probably visit Yihong Pavilion tonight.”

Li Hongzhuang explained.

Lu Changsheng didn’t say a word but waited quietly.

After a while, Luotian Elder indeed arrived.

Luotian Elder was a frequent visitor to Yihong Pavilion. He walked straight into the establishment and reserved a private room, along with the company of some familiar girls.

“Thirteen, we’re too close to the Cui residence. We need to leave Yihong

Pavilion within fifteen minutes at most.”

Li Hongzhuang reminded.

ii

It’s just a Foreign Monk. What’s the need for fifteen minutes?”

“Let’s go; it’ll only take a moment.”

Lu Changsheng walked towards Yihong Pavilion with big strides.

Inside Yihong Pavilion’s luxurious room, Luotian Elder had three girls serving him at once. The table was filled with exquisite dishes and fine wine, and he was delightedly enjoying himself.

However, no one noticed a shadow looming outside the room.

“Knock, knock, knock.”

A knocking sound came from the door.

“Who’s there?”

Luotian Elder asked impatiently.

“Bringing wine for the distinguished guest.”

“Get lost, I don’t need it. Don’t disturb me.”

Luotian Elder was very irritated.

After three days of anticipation, he was about to burst with excitement. How could he be in the mood for wine?

“Bang.”

In the next moment, the door was violently kicked open.

Simultaneously, a figure dashed toward Luotian Elder, and there was a faint glint of a sharp sword.

Luotian Elder reacted extremely quickly.

Without thinking, he immediately picked up the two girls by his side and hurled them towards the assassin.

At the same time, Luotian Elder advanced instead of retreating, using the girls as cover and directly striking with a palm towards the assassin.

“Buzz.”

Luotian Elder executed the Vajra Palm technique.

Faintly, it seemed like a gigantic blood-soaked hand shadow enveloped the assassin.

The assassin was none other than Lu Changsheng.

Seeing that Luotian Elder was advancing instead of retreating and that the two girls were about to collide with his sword, and with Luotian Elder’s Vajra Palm approaching, Lu Changsheng remained calm and abruptly retracted his sword. He unleashed a powerful punch with his left hand.

“Bang.”

Their fists and palms collided.

Luotian Elder’s expression transformed rapidly, from one of fierceness to one of immense pain. With just this punch, he felt a tremendous surge of strength, like a landslide and a tsunami, rapidly pouring into his hand from his opponent’s fist.

“What?”

Luotian Elder was shocked, staring wide-eyed at the assassin.

“Crack.”

Luotian Elder’s arm broke instantly.

Simultaneously, he was sent flying by the tremendous force, screaming in agony as he was thrown backward.

“Peak Organ-Refining!”

Luotian Elder shouted in shock and fury..
