Another Powerful Trump Card! Zheng Family Old Ancestor
When Lu Qing returned to Nine Li Village, it was still dark around him, and dawn had not yet broken.
No one knew that in one night, he had traveled more than a thousand miles back and forth, completely destroying a Seven Killings Hall stronghold hundreds of miles away.
Sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed, Lu Qing regulated his breathing for a while, and after calming his breath, he began to think.
He mainly summarized the gains and losses of tonight's battle.
First, there's not much to summarize regarding the opponents.
Mandarin Duck Stronghold is just an ordinary stronghold of the Seven Killings Hall. Although it has several assassins at the Inner Organs Realm and is heavily guarded with numerous sentries, both overt and covert, it is still a fortified stronghold.
But for Lu Qing, who possessed Divine Soul Power, those things were practically useless.
The assassins at the Inner Organs Realm, led by the Brocade-Clothed Man, failed to exert any pressure on him whatsoever.
There was no way around it; his current accumulation was simply too substantial, far exceeding the scope of ordinary Acquired Realm Martial Artist.
Lu Qing estimated that, with his current strength, among those in the Acquired Realm, the only ones who could put pressure on him were probably the legendary peerless geniuses or Child of Destiny.
Or perhaps they are the direct descendants of those top sects, carefully cultivated and possessing various powerful secret techniques.
Even Martial Dao Grandmaster who have honed their Divine Soul Power would likely be no match for him in his normal state, let alone force him to reveal his various trump cards.
Even ordinary Innate Realm...
We'll only know after we've fought it.
The outcome of this retaliatory action did not surprise Lu Qing.
On the contrary, the process brought him quite a few surprises.
The biggest surprise was undoubtedly the effect of the Earth Movement Rune.
A single Earth Movement Rune allows him to travel thousands of miles without getting tired; such an auxiliary effect is truly astonishing.
This also made Lu Qing realize that although he could currently only store five Dharma Talisman in the space between his eyebrows, and only one of each attribute could be stored.
However, if used properly, these five talismans will become one of his greatest trump cards.
"If talismans condensed from primordial energy have such miraculous effects, I wonder what kind of power those [Spirit Talisman] condensed from spiritual energy in the inheritance must possess."
Lu Qing couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
The Rune Dao is a very unique cultivation system.
It learns from Heaven and Earth and All Things, and therefore is highly adaptable and not constrained by the temporary cultivation environment.
During a time when spiritual energy was abundant and the path of cultivation flourished, it used spiritual energy as its foundation to condense various wondrous [Spirit Talisman] for use against enemies and to strengthen itself.
In an era of scarce spiritual energy, it condensed the primordial Heaven and Earth Primal Qi and earth into Primal Qi Talisman. Although these talismans were much less powerful than Spirit Talisman, they still possessed a variety of strange abilities.
Lu Qing had already experienced the power of the Primal Qi Talisman.
They naturally had even greater anticipation for the more powerful [Spirit Talisman].
With the Spiritual Qi Revival imminent, if the power of the [Spirit Talisman] is strong enough...
Therefore, even if he doesn't switch to cultivating Immortal Dao in the future, he, who cultivates the Rune Dao, will not need to fear anyone.
After pondering the Rune Dao, Lu Qing carefully reviewed and analyzed the entire process of his trip.
After confirming that he had not overlooked anything and that his identity had not been exposed, he lay down to rest for a while.
Just as Lu Qing was drifting off to sleep.
Meanwhile, in the Cang Zhou State Prefecture, the renowned Zheng Family was shrouded in an extremely oppressive atmosphere.
"You're telling me this is Yu Er?"
In the main hall of the Zheng Residence, the dignified-looking Zheng Family Head was asking questions with an icy expression.
In front of him, several guards were kneeling on the ground, and in the center, two corpses covered with white silk were placed.
One of them had a hole pierced through its forehead, while the other had its entire head blown off, leaving it a headless corpse.
Upon hearing the patriarch's question, the kneeling guards trembled and began to shake, none of them daring to answer.
As for the other guards and servants in the hall, they were even more silent, not daring to breathe loudly, and desperately trying to minimize their presence.
Who would have thought that the second young master would die after going out for a short trip?
If our Old Ancestor found out, who knows how many people would die.
"I'm asking you a question, are you all deaf?"
The Zheng Family Head's expression grew even colder.
Sensing the increasingly cold gaze of the patriarch, a guard finally spoke with a trembling voice.
"Reporting to the patriarch, the Second Young Master was wearing this very outfit when he left the manor this afternoon, and the person accompanying him was none other than Yang Commander."
"In other words, Yu Er was murdered less than a day after he left, without even a complete body. Can any of you tell me what happened? Also, where did he go when he left in the afternoon?"
Just as the guard was about to reply, a suppressed aura emanated from the inner hall, and several figures emerged.
Leading the way was an elderly woman being supported by a Middle-Aged Beautiful Woman.
"Mother, why are you up!"
Upon seeing this, the Zheng Family Head quickly stepped forward to help support the old woman.
The guards and servants in the hall lowered their heads even further upon seeing this.
"Hmph! Why did I get up? I had just fallen asleep when I heard Yanran come over crying and shouting that something had happened to Yu Er. Is that true?"
The old woman snorted coldly, lightly tapped her dragon-headed cane, and with a muffled thud, the ground trembled slightly.
It turned out that the dragon-head cane was made of metal and was extremely heavy.
The Zheng Family Head felt a sudden jolt in his heart, and he glanced at his wife without leaving a trace.
He then said in grief, "Mother, I just learned of this. Yu Er has been murdered!"
"What did you say!!"
Upon hearing this, the old lady's eyes snapped open, and a terrifying aura emanated from her.
"Yu Er has been murdered! Where is he?!"
"Right before your eyes, the guards say that this headless corpse is Yu Er, but I haven't had time to verify it yet."
The old woman turned her head sharply and looked at the two corpses on the ground.
She did see the two corpses when she came out, but they were covered with white silk, so her clothes were not visible.
To her utter surprise, one of those bodies was that of her most beloved grandson.
The Middle-Aged Beautiful Woman was equally shocked upon hearing this.
She only heard from her maid that the second young master had an accident, but she never expected that he would die.
The old woman's hands trembled slightly as she looked at the headless corpse.
But she was no ordinary person. With a strong will, she suppressed her emotions and said in a slightly hoarse voice.
"Lu Niang, go check it out."
"Yes, Miss."
As the old woman reached out, a woman dressed in green with a somewhat eerie demeanor stepped forward and gently removed the white silk covering the headless corpse.
Upon seeing the clothes on the corpse, the old woman's fingers trembled slightly.
She remembered that Yu Er was wearing this same outfit when she came to pay her respects that morning.
The Green-Clad Matron hesitated for a moment, but she still gently untied the corpse's clothes.
Then, when she saw the distinctive birthmark on the corpse's chest, she stopped, covered herself with her clothes, and retreated.
Approaching the old woman, he softly reported, "Miss, it is indeed Yu Er Master Yu'er."
The old woman swayed, as if she was about to fall.
"Mother!"
The Zheng Family Head, who had been watching closely, quickly stepped forward to help him up.
"Get out of my way!"
However, the next moment, a terrifying aura erupted from the old woman, directly knocking her back.
"Who, who on earth dared to kill my Yu Er, and in such a cruel way!"
The old woman uttered chilling words that seemed to rise from the deepest hell.
The way he gritted his teeth made it seem as if he wanted to devour someone.
