C1247 Strange Things Were Happening in the City(2)

After making sure that Yang Xuan's anger was gone, the man said with a trembling voice, "In reply to my lord, my name is Lee Er, a native of the Guan City. I married a wife a few years ago and gave birth to a fat kid. His name is Lee Loong, and he is eighteen years old this year. A few years ago, my wife accidentally fell off a cliff when she went up the mountain for herbs. Only my son and I are left to rely on each other..."

"Get straight to the point, what happened to your son?" Yang Xuan interrupted the man's tedious words and said impatiently.

"It's like this. A month ago, my son told me that he saw his mother. After that, he couldn't sleep well. This kind of life lasted for a month, all the way until last night.

Last night, when it was about Zi Shi, I suddenly heard some noise coming from my son's room. Out of curiosity, I went over to take a look and found that there was actually someone in my son's room. I shouted loudly at that time, and that person immediately jumped out of the window. I hurriedly followed him and found that the person had already disappeared.

When I turned around to look at my son again, I found that he had already fainted. He couldn't wake up no matter how hard I tried."

" He fainted? " Yang Xuan couldn't help but frown. If what Lee Er said was true, then his son, Lee Loong, must have been framed and poisoned.

However, Lee Er's clothes were very ordinary. It seemed like he had been wearing them for many years. He believed that his family didn't have much money. Plus, Guan City was a remote place. There shouldn't be any powers that specialized in harming people. After thinking about it for a while, Yang Xuan finally came to a conclusion.

He and Yun Batian looked at each other, then suddenly looked at Lee Er fiercely and asked, "Tell me honestly, what have you done in the past?"

"I didn't. I grew up in Guan City all my life. I haven't even been to a place far away. What can I do?" Lee Er was scared by Yang Xuan's eyes and shivered. He couldn't help but cry again.

Yang Xuan scratched his head and immediately dispelled this idea in his heart.

Looking at how Lee Er looked like he could not even produce a fart with three strikes, it should be impossible to expect him to do anything bad.

When Lee Er saw Yang Xuan raise his hand, he thought that he had offended Yang Xuan again. He wanted to attack him, so he hurriedly took a few steps back and said, "I... I peeked at a little girl bathing in the village when I was 19 years old, but that little girl has already married somewhere else..."

Yang Xuan did not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. He could only say to Lee Er, "Okay, okay, I believe you. You should take me to see your son's condition first."

"Alright. My house is not far away. My two lords, please come with me." Lee Er said and led the way for the two of them.

Yang Xuan and Yun Batian looked at each other and nodded in the end. They followed him.

On the way, the people of Devil Extinguishing Team quickly found out the result of their investigation.

Sure enough, just like what Yang Xuan saw, this Lee Er was born and raised in the Guan City. His family was poor, and he didn't have the money to leave this place. Furthermore, his character had been very honest since he was young. It could even be said that he was a little cowardly. It was precisely because of this personality that he kept crying in front of Yang Xuan.

"It seems like this Lee Er isn't lying to me." Yang Xuan muttered to himself. Initially, he thought that Lee Er was just pretending. But now that his doubts had been dispelled, he was able to confirm what Lee Er had said. It was all true.

Regarding this matter, Yang Xuan still didn't have an answer in his heart, but this was still an abnormal matter. As long as there was something abnormal, it might have something to do with the Devil Clan.

Yun Batian also used the Sound Transmitting Talisman to instruct the people of the Devil Extinguishing Team to investigate this Lee Er. After that, he followed Yang Xuan.

Lee Er's home wasn't far from where the two of them were. It was only a few hundred meters away. At the entrance of Lee Er's house, there was a large group of people surrounding him. They were discussing animatedly. Yang Xuan roughly heard what they were talking about. They were discussing whether Lee Er's son, Lee Loong, had run into a ghost or not. It was his mother who had missed him, that was why she had come to take his soul away.

Although the people in the city didn't know who Yang Xuan was, they still knew about Lee Er and Yun Batian. When they saw the three of them walking towards them, they all made way for them.

After following Lee Er into the house, Yang Xuan first looked at the furnishings in the courtyard. Apart from a stone mill and some farming tools, there was nothing else. Moreover, these farming tools were very old and worn out. Obviously, Lee Er's family was also very poor.

At this time, Lee Loong was lying in his room. He followed Lee Er into the room. A rotten smell hit his face, making Yang Xuan's facial expression change all of a sudden. This smell had already become a shadow in his heart. This was the smell of a dead man. When he was in the Bedlam Lands, he had smelled it in the basement of the Mercenary Group. Now that he had smelled it again, the miserable scene of tens of thousands of people being killed suddenly appeared in front of Yang Xuan's eyes.

Obviously, Yun Batian knew this smell as well. After entering the room, he furrowed his brows.

The two of them walked to Lee Loong's window and found that it was a very delicate and pretty young man. His skin was fair, and he had the temperament of a scholar. The brushes, ink, and inkstones placed on the desk in the corner of the room also confirmed this fact. He should be a scholar.

No matter where he was, there were only two ways out for the poor. One was to study and become an official, and the other was to have the talent to cultivate and be chosen by a large sect. The other was to join in. However, the latter was only a small number. Those who could be chosen by these big sects... One in a million. However, there was no threshold to study, so for many ambitious young people, it became a good choice.

However, Lee Loong's face was dark. This kind of darkness seemed somewhat unusual. It was as if it had been dipped in ink. Yang Xuan's heart couldn't help but tremble. To be able to produce such a black color... He was most likely poisoned.

Yang Xuan came to Lee Loong's bed, and the stench of the corpse became even stronger. Yang Xuan couldn't help but take out a fragrant spiritual herb and put it aside to drive away the disgusting smell. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stay in this room for long.

After the smell dissipated, Yang Xuan reached out and touched Lee Loong's breath. His breathing was still very stable, and the flesh on his body was also very elastic. He wasn't as stiff as a dead person.

"Strange, there is nothing wrong with his body. How did he become like this?" Yang Xuan said and reached out to lift Lee Loong's blanket. However, when Lee Er saw his son's miserable appearance, he couldn't help it. He immediately threw himself onto ___ and started crying out loud.0

"Get up and let this Immortal Master Yang treat your son." Yun Batian went forward and tried to persuade Lee Er to stand up.

After that, Yang Xuan lifted Lee Loong's blanket, but his pupils shrank to the minimum in an instant.
