It's not a best practice to use this method, but to solve your question "redirect laravel without return statement", you can use this gist

Create a helper function like:

if(!function_exists('abortTo')) {
  function abortTo($to = '/') {
    throw new \Illuminate\Http\Exception\HttpResponseException(redirect($to));
  }
}

then use it in your code:

public function reqLogin(){
  if(!Auth::check()){
    abortTo(route('login'));
  }
}

public function create() {
  $this->reqLogin();
  return View::make('blogs.create');
}
