Chapter 285 Tian Family Tragedy
Zhou Lu stood under the tall building.
Although Hanabi's branch had already conveyed the situation here to him, he still came over to take a look with a glimmer of hope.
As he guessed, there was no trace of the immortal here.
I was fooled...
Zhou Lu was not very angry, but he was inevitably worried about the real Ouyang Xiao.
He didn't have much affection for this senior who had never met before. But he knew that the relationship between Ye Qingyu and Ouyang Xiao was very deep. If something happened to him, Sister Qingyu would definitely be sad.
What's more, he fell into a trap to investigate the cause of his father's death.
"What should we do now?" Hua Huo asked Zhou Ludao.
Zhou Lu was silent for a long time and said indifferently: "Go to the Tian family's suburban residence first. Your branch will move first."
Fortunately, he had already kept an eye on Ouyang Xiao before he came into contact with her.
At that time, he specially asked Hanabi to reserve a branch in the suburbs. Now it is time for this branch to play its role.
As Hanabi opened the permissions, the reserved branches were instantly transformed into cloned branches with higher permissions.
In this state, the branch can use most of Hanabi's abilities, roughly exerting about 80% of Hanabi's own strength.
However, because Hanabi still needs to maintain the existence of cloned branches in the illusion of Qiudaomu, her strength will be relatively reduced.
But if it is only used for investigation, it is completely sufficient.
Zhou Lu directly activated empathy and shared the perception of the cloned ramets.
The perspective of the branch instantly spreads out in front of it.
Without the constraints of the city, the branch is proud to fully explode its speed among the fields.
As the surrounding scenery passed by quickly, Hanabi controlled the branches and ran towards the Tian family's suburban residence.
At the same time, the main body's fireworks were also taking Zhou Lu quickly between cities.
This wanton use of the power of spiritual pets quickly attracted the attention of relevant personnel.
The police called for backup to stop Zhou Lu.
Xu Fangfang rushed to the scene cursing, and then saw Zhou Lu, who was being carried by Hua Huo and flying towards the outside of the city.
"Boss, stop him quickly, otherwise it will cause panic." The police officer on the side was still talking to Xu Fangfang.
Xu Fangfang silently took off his glasses, wiped them and said, "I am a disaster investigator. If a disaster breaks out in Suizhou because of our efforts to stop it, will you bear the responsibility?"
"Disaster investigator?" The police officer who spoke suddenly widened his eyes.
After the incident in New South Wales, the position of disaster investigator was officially converted from a temporary position to a regular position.
Their job is to monitor and investigate potential disaster events around the world.
Officials don't believe NSW is an exception.
These damn immortals can't control their appetite. They may have caused similar tragedies in other places.
As a disaster investigator with outstanding merits, Zhou Lu was naturally retained in his position - although he had never reported officially.
Xu Fangfang didn't know what Zhou Lu wanted to do. The so-called disaster was just an excuse for him to silence his subordinates.
But he still has his own guess about this matter.
The large number of immortals killed by Hua Huo has indicated that there may be a huge immortal organization in Suizhou.
But, for such a huge organization, why is Zhou Lu the only one taking action?
I didn't receive any orders from above to assist.
Is it because Zhou Lu is only in the investigation stage?
In fact, Xu Fangfang guessed wrong.
The reason why there was no official response was that Zhou Lu did not report the matter at all.
Having support is a good thing, but it also means that there will be people coming to share the firepower for you.
Of course, in general, this is a good thing.
But Zhou Lu now needs Hanabi to gain more immortal growth so that Hanabi can quickly approach the realm of becoming a god.
Therefore, these immortals from the fairyland are already the best power banks in Zhou Lu's eyes.
With Hanabi's current strength, as long as she is not a fifth-level immortal, there is nothing to be afraid of.
And are there fifth-level immortals in the Immortal Kingdom?
No.
This is not Zhou Lu's random reverie, but an objective fact based on statistics and calculations.
Judging from the behavior of the fairy kingdom behind the scenes, it can be judged that they most likely do not have the ability to challenge the existing rule.
If this is only indirect evidence, then the most intuitive evidence is the cold data given by Qiudao Mu.
This data is cruel and ruthlessly scary, but it also brings full confidence to Zhou Lu.
Based on Qiu Daomu's statistical data on the ascension of immortals in the Immortal Era, even if all the deaths in the world in the past forty years are counted as the rations of an immortal, it is not enough for that immortal to achieve 100% promotion to become a fifth-level immortal. realm.
Of course, it is not impossible if they want to break through and evolve to the fifth level before reaching perfection despite the one hundred thousandth chance of evolutionary success.
But their evolution still lacks various necessary materials.
Yes, the evolution of immortals is such a waste, otherwise they would not have a life span of tens of thousands of years.
However, based on biological instinct, even if they have not yet reached the stage where they can evolve, the fourth-level immortals will still look for the materials needed for evolution. And this is also the reason why Yue Ya was approached by the Ascension Sect.
The branches were divided very quickly, and within a short time, the Tian family's residence was visible from a distance.
However, what unfolded before Zhou Lu's eyes was a scene that shocked him.
At this time, the house was already bathed in a sea of fire.
From time to time, you can see a figure flying out of it, but the next second it is shot down by some force.
Getting closer, Zhou Lu could even hear the screams of these people.
what happens?
Could it be that they were so hungry that they started killing each other?
It shouldn't be.
With the selfish nature of immortals, even if they are really hungry, the first blow should not be on their own people. The main city of Suizhou is right next to them, and there are tens of millions of people there.
Zhou Lu instantly felt something was wrong.
But he was not afraid - after all, what was close there now was a branch of Hanabi, and it wouldn't matter if it was scrapped.
At Zhou Lu's signal, Hua Huo controlled his branches and galloped towards the fire scene.
In order to save time on the road, when the destination was already on the edge of her range, Hanabi controlled the branch and released multiple leaf blades in that direction.
The blade hit the wall very accurately.
Cuttings regenerate!
The leaves embedded in the wall quickly metamorphose into new branches of Hanabi.
Displacement!
The positions of the two ramets were swapped, and the cloned ramets appeared directly on the wall.
The moment they stood on the wall, the scene in the courtyard was displayed in front of Zhou Lu and Hanabi.
A man stood in the center of the courtyard, surrounded by corpses of all kinds.
These people died tragically, and almost none of them had their bodies intact.
"Qi Lin, spare me! Qi Lin! For the sake of us being roommates..."
Kneeling in front of the man was a very young-looking man.
Zhou Lu, who saw the other party's appearance clearly, was a little surprised.
Tian Bu was confused. One of the leaders of the Tian family is called the Immortal King Kong.
His spiritual pet is a gorilla, and he himself is obviously over forty years old, but he still looks young, which is why he got this nickname.
But soon, Zhou Lu's attention moved away from Tian Buhuo.
What did Tian Buhuo call this man?
Qi Lin?
Zhou Lu was shocked.
Qi Lin is the leader of the Shengling Sect.
Zhou Lu subconsciously squinted his eyes, trying to see the man in the fire clearly - even if this action was meaningless under empathy.
The clothes Qi Lin was wearing were exactly the clothes of the fake Ouyang Xiao he met.
The guy pretending to be a senior is actually Qi Lin? !
Zhou Lu came up with an answer that was somewhat difficult for him to accept.
You know, the Shengling Sect is the most likely murderer of his father in Zhou Lu's mind.
Father's research is actually a positive factor for Immortal.
But the person who killed his father happened to be an immortal.
If the possibility of uneven distribution of the spoils is ruled out, then only the immortals from the Ascension Sect have a clear motive.
They want to prevent immortals from continuing to appear, so they will hinder the development of all immortal technology.
Zhou Lu quickly calmed down.
Because at this moment, Qi Lin turned back.
His eyes fell on Zhou Lu - or Hanabi's branch.
"Your reaction is a bit quick." Qi Lin chuckled.
His smile seemed to make Tian Buhuo see an opportunity, and he made a sneak attack without hesitation.
However, just when Tian Buhuo felt that he was about to succeed, Qi Lin's hand ruthlessly grabbed his neck.
"I haven't asked about your brother's whereabouts yet, why are you so eager to die?" Qi Lin sighed helplessly.
Tian Buhuo sneered coldly and said hysterically to Qi Lin: "Brother has found an opportunity to evolve. After all, you are one step ahead of me!"
"Slow?" Qi Lin tilted his head, "He doesn't even have the consciousness to eat up all of you. Even if he really collects all the materials for evolution, he won't succeed."
"Eat it all..." Tian Buhuo chewed the word, and a chill emerged from his heart, "Could it be that you..."
"Ah... is there any problem?" Qi Lin chuckled, "Isn't this the path that immortals are destined to take? I am the only one in the world, and I am the Shengling Sect."
"You madman! Madman!" Tian Buhuo immediately understood that it was impossible for Qi Lin to spare him.
This madman actually ate all his companions!
Along with the nirvana of his soul, Tian Buhuo died.
Qi Lin did not torture him, he died very happily.
After doing all this, Qi Lin let out a long sigh of relief and stood there in a daze for a long time.
Zhou Lu knew that the other party had discovered him, so he simply stopped hiding in vain.
Using empathy, he controlled the branches to jump off the wall.
"Where is Ouyang Xiao?" Zhou Lu asked directly after landing.
Hanabi has recorded all of Zhou Lu's voiceprints, so the branch can perfectly produce Zhou Lu's voice.
Qi Lin was a little surprised when Zhou Lu's voice came out of the branch, but he quickly regained his composure. He said with a smile: "Don't worry, he's still alive. Following this guy is looking for death."
< br>
Speaking of this, Qi Lin's face showed a trace of helpless melancholy.
He actually lied just now.
The deaths of the other members of the Shengling Sect were actually not directly related to him. Although his hunger had reached its limit, the guilt of accidentally killing his father still allowed him to maintain his final sanity.
But other members of the Shengling Sect don't have as much self-control as Qi Lin.
The instinct of the immortals made them more and more crazy, and many people were already planning to attack the city directly.
This kind of madness with out-of-control desires can even surpass death.
Qi Lin's decisive killing has completely lost its deterrence in the eyes of other members of the Shengling Sect.
At this time, Ouyang Xiao came.
He came here to avenge his teacher, and for this he was ready to sacrifice himself.
Qi Lin recalled the situation at that time and felt a sense of fear.
This guy is even crazier than himself.
He actually used himself as bait, and through a strange genetic technology, he showed himself the smell of super delicious food in the eyes of the immortals.
And it was this aura that made all the immortals from the Shengling Sect crazy.
In order to snatch Ouyang Xiao, they began to kill each other.
When Qi Lin rushed back, they were all dead.
Recalling the scene when he saw Ouyang Xiao, Qi Lin also felt waves of fear.
It was a complete loss of control from soul to body.
If the final commandment his father left on him hadn't come into play at the last moment, he might have eaten Ouyang Xiao.
Damn it, what kind of lunatic is this. He actually transformed himself into such a terrifying existence.
Qi Lin had no doubt that if he really couldn't control himself and ate Ouyang Xiao, he would definitely die.
This crazy researcher came here to destroy the Ascension Sect.
Taking advantage of his last sense, Qi Lin hurriedly hid Ouyang Xiao.
But at this time, the appetite that was completely aroused by Ouyang Xiao could no longer be suppressed, so Qi Lin thought of the fairyland.
However, Qi Lin was not interested in explaining this to Zhou Lu.
"Let me leave." Qi Lin directly opened his mouth to make a deal with Zhou Lu.
Qi Lin actually didn't mind dying in Zhou Lu's hands, especially after he knew that Zhou Lu was Zhou Minghai's son.
This father who never revealed the whereabouts of the Nine-Life Immortal Grass until his death reminded Qi Lin of his own father.
As the dean of the Invalides, he could obviously enjoy a glorious life, but he sacrificed everything for his son.
But Qi Lin will not regret killing Zhou Minghai. Just like he never regretted massacring the Gu family.
In order to prevent the immortals from continuing to produce, all evil deeds are worthwhile.
However, Qi Lin doesn't plan to die in Zhou Lu's hands now, because he hasn't killed all the immortals in this world yet.
He recognized Zhou Lu's strength.
Even if it was just one branch, Qi Lin could already feel the strong pressure.
I may not even be able to defeat one of the opponent's branches.
How did this grow?
Qi Lin couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
But Qi Lin still felt that it would be safer to kill all the immortals by himself.
Only immortals understand immortals better.
"As long as you let me go, I will tell you the whereabouts of Ouyang Xiao."
