Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 1163: Chapter 1166: Gu Family Village (Part 1)

"It’s neither human nor ghost!" Lin Xi thought to himself.

Because if it were human, there wouldn’t be this faint unusual aura.

At the same time, Ginseng King drilled out from the soil.

Its attitude seemed like it knew something.

However, it didn’t express anything and burrowed back into the soil.

Next, Lin Xi controlled his aura to the level of a normal person and walked towards the Gu family village.

The Ginseng King in the soil also seemed to be moving along with him.

Just this movement was almost imperceptible unless he paid very close attention.

As for its aura, it had almost completely disappeared.

He hadn’t walked far when from each corner beside the village’s gate, a figure flashed out.

And with tremendous speed, they ran towards him.

"Boss!" The two men slightly bowed to Lin Xi.

They were two of the eight people sent by Xu Hong and Wenhai.

Lin Xi took a glance at the two and nodded slightly.

Their capabilities were indeed as Xu Hong and Wenhai had described, both had the prowess of special forces soldiers, and judging by their spirit and vigor, they were definitely strong contenders at this level.

Also, the person leading the team was not among them.

According to Xu Hong and Wenhai, the strength of the seven was quite similar, with the team leader, a trusted aide, having reached the top level of special forces.

They hadn’t surpassed the Soldier King level.

With these eight people!

Even an average Soldier King could be dealt with.

The two were very excited; they never expected that the boss would be here.

The boss at the Dark Night Sect wasn’t someone ordinary people could interact with.

Or rather, in most cases, only Elder Xu and Elder Wen could communicate with the boss.

As for the others, they almost never had contact with the boss.

This wasn’t because Lin Xi was elusive, but because he delegated all matters within Dark Night Sect to Xu Hong and Wenhai.

So the others had no reason to interact at all.

After all, the boss didn’t want Dark Night Sect’s affairs disturbing his life.

This time seeing the boss, he seemed to be handling the bizarre incidents in the Gu family village.

They were naturally very much anticipating this.

Not only did they know the boss’s strength was terrifying,

but even the two Soldier King elders owed their breakthrough to the Soldier King level entirely to the boss’s elevation.

And previously, Celestial Gate, so powerful with Advanced Soldier Kings — wasn’t that wiped out single-handedly by the boss?

But amongst them in Dark Night Sect, the number who have seen the boss in action was pitifully small.

This time, the eight of them had not seen the boss in action either.

Meanwhile, there was a secret hope that maybe the boss might give them pointers anytime, possibly leading to breakthroughs like the two elders, reaching the Soldier King level.

Soldier King!

That’s a realm they envied for a lifetime.

Although their capabilities hadn’t reached the top special forces level yet, even if they did, surpassing that threshold to reach the Soldier King realm was extremely difficult.

It’s akin to an army of thousands crossing a single-log bridge.

Out of a hundred top special forces, if two or three break through to Soldier King, that’s quite remarkable.

Mostly, those who breakthrough to Soldier King are from large families.

Just like them, with hardly any background before, the difficulty of breaking through was even greater.

But now it’s different; they all have great hope.

Because, there’s the boss!

Under the guidance of the two, they headed straight to Aunt Gu Lan’s house.

Soon, they saw a two-story brick house appearing ahead.

Meanwhile, quite a few people were gathered in that courtyard.

Seemingly holding a funeral.

Yet the expression on each person’s face wasn’t good.

This wasn’t because of the death itself, but because of the cause of death.

The entire village was in a state of fear and panic.

The fact was, too many people had died during this period.

It seemed no one dared to approach that place anymore.

Most people in the village, if not desperately needing a place, would have left long ago.

Of course, those who had resources left the village long ago.

Otherwise, the village wouldn’t have only these people left.

As he came along the way, Lin Xi could sense the village had become much more desolate.

Almost every house’s doors were closed, peeking secretly through the door cracks at strangers.

The three entered the courtyard.

The people inside took a glance at Lin Xi but didn’t pay much attention to the two men beside him.

Apparently, they were already familiar.

On the flat ground at the front door, Lin Xi finally saw Gu Xiaoxian and Gu Lan, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.

Not far from the two were six people.

Among these six, one possessed top special forces prowess, and the other five had intermediate special forces prowess.

Needless to say, they were his subordinates.

Initially, they were covertly protecting,

but probably after the bizarre incidents happened, they switched from covert to overt.

After all, covert protection might not necessarily be timely.

Better to protect openly and fairly.

Gu Xiaoxian and Gu Lan seemed unconcerned as well.

It seems they have already adapted.

"And two more?" Lin Xi noticed two people in a corner.

They dressed quite normally, but from their eyes, they were definitely not ordinary people, though their strength was far below that of his group of subordinates.

One of the subordinates noticed the boss’s puzzled look and immediately explained, "Boss, these are two local police officers!"

"They and four others have been in the village for ten days!"

"But they failed to stop the continued deaths of villagers and couldn’t find a single trace either."

Lin Xi nodded and walked ahead.

The two continued, "We haven’t discovered any traces either."

"But it’s been a bit unsettling these days, and every night there’s this chill up the spine as if something is watching."

"Yet nothing has happened."

He walked close to Gu Xiaoxian, and the other eight also noticed Lin Xi and were ready to come and greet him.

But he shook his head; no need for that.

Avoided causing alarm among the villagers and the two police officers.

"Xiaoxian!" Lin Xi called.

As Gu Xiaoxian turned around, discovering it was Lin Xi, a hint of surprise and a bit of unexpected delight appeared on her face.

She slightly lowered her head, "You, you, you... why are you here?"

"To see you!" Lin Xi replied.

Meanwhile, he felt a little heartache because he clearly saw how Gu Xiaoxian had lost weight and her complexion was paler compared to before.

It seemed she was exhausted.

Gu Lan was close to Gu Xiaoxian, and she also heard someone calling her daughter.

Moreover, the voice seemed familiar.

Immediately, she turned and saw it was Lin Xi and showed a hint of delight, "Xiaolin, been a while since I’ve seen you!"

"Looks like you’ve gotten a bit darker?"

"But why have you come? Xiaoxian previously mentioned you’ve been out of town recently."

"Finished with things?"

Lin Xi smiled and nodded, "Yes, Aunt Gu!"

Just as he finished saying this, his brows slightly furrowed noticed by everyone.

Because the Ginseng King quietly staying underground had an odd aura as if it had detected something.
