Returning Truth Sect Makes a Move!

Chapter 44: Returning Truth Sect Makes a Move!

Miao Yin City.

In the small courtyard.

Lu Qingfeng woke up to find Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu standing before him, their faces filled with anger.

"What happened?" Lu Qingfeng got up and asked.

In reality, the three of them had been in Miao Yin City for eight months. They had also been cooperating with the Azure Jade Gate, represented by Kang Zizai, for half a year.

For the past six months, everything had been peaceful and stable.

Since Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu had woken him up today, it could only mean trouble.

As expected.

Lu Qingyu snatched the words, saying indignantly, "Big Brother, today the Returning Truth Sect declared in Miao Yin City that no one is allowed to buy or sell medicine at the Black Sand Medicine Shop. Anyone who does will be considered an enemy of the Returning Truth Sect. Second Brother went to the Black Sand Medicine Shop after hearing this and found the Returning Truth Sect's Servant Manager Zhang Chong there!"

"Zhang Chong?"

"That Zhang Chong?"

Lu Qingfeng was very familiar with the name. On Lu Qingshan's small booklet, this name appeared more times than any other, unshakeable.

"Yes!"

"It's that scoundrel Zhang Chong!"

Lu Qingyu angrily recounted the entire story. Only then did Lu Qingfeng relax.

"Well done."

Lu Qingfeng patted Lu Qingshan's shoulder and praised him.

As the saying goes, enemies meeting makes their eyes red with hatred!

Zhang Chong had deliberately appeared at the Black Sand Medicine Shop and provoked Lu Qingshan with his words. Yet, Lu Qingshan had managed to restrain himself and not retaliate. This kind of self-control was rare for a young man.

"Zhang Chong is just a grasshopper in autumn; he won't be able to hop around for long. If I had let him anger me and then been captured by the Miao Yin City guards for taking action, I would have fallen right into his trap!"

Lu Qingshan's lips curved upwards slightly, a hint of pride in his expression.

Although his temperament was straightforward, he had honed the art of forbearance to its extreme during his half-year stay on Yellow Ganoderma Mountain.

"Good."

"Zhang Chong won't live much longer!"

Lu Qingfeng's eyes flickered.

The three siblings had been in Miao Yin City for over half a year. It was entirely within their expectations that the Returning Truth Sect would discover their whereabouts and target them.

However, for the Returning Truth Sect to try and intimidate them into affecting the Black Sand Medicine Shop's business and cutting off the Lu siblings' income source was simply wishful thinking.

Not to mention that the Lu siblings' savings were enough for them to live for a long time, but the Black Sand Medicine Shop's cooperation with the Azure Jade Gate would absolutely not be affected by the Returning Truth Sect.

The two were in an adversarial relationship.

If Lu Qingfeng were the Azure Jade Gate, he would even help the Black Sand Medicine Shop deal with the Returning Truth Sect!

However, this time, Lu Qingfeng had guessed wrong.

"Lin Chuan Pharmacy, Returning Spring Pharmacy, and Benevolent Heart Pharmacy have refused to supply medicinal herbs, and this batch of Golden Sore Powder, Blood Jade Paste, and Detoxification Pills has also been rejected!"

As Lu Qingfeng was discussing matters concerning the Returning Truth Sect with Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu in the courtyard, a shop assistant from the Black Sand Medicine Shop ran over, bringing extremely bad news.

"The three major pharmacies have refused to supply medicinal herbs and rejected the shop's medicines?"

Lu Qingfeng frowned.

These three pharmacies worked for the Azure Jade Gate; how could they collude with the Returning Truth Sect?

"Master, I've come to report. I probably won't be able to come to the shop anymore."

"Please bear with me, Master!"

After reporting, the shop assistant looked apologetic and, after saying a few words, turned and left, seemingly afraid of being implicated.

"The Returning Truth Sect is going too far!"

Lu Qingshan roared!

Needless to say, this shop assistant must have been threatened by the Returning Truth Sect. The other two shop assistants in the Black Sand Medicine Shop, including the shopkeeper, would likely suffer the same fate.

"What a move!"

Lu Qingfeng chuckled.

The Returning Truth Sect was indeed a major martial arts sect that had stood in Guangyuan Prefecture for over two hundred years; its influence was not to be underestimated.

Although they were wary of the City Lord of Miao Yin and dared not resort to bloody methods within the city, with the Returning Truth Sect's capabilities, it was far too easy to cut off the Lu siblings' livelihood.

It was just that Lu Qingfeng couldn't understand why the Azure Jade Gate was also wary of the Returning Truth Sect.

He couldn't figure it out.

He wouldn't dwell on it for now.

"The pills we've accumulated over the past six months are enough for two to three years. Let's not go out for now and focus on cultivation. Since the Returning Truth Sect has set their sights on us, we won't make it easy for them either."

Lu Qingfeng looked towards the west, in the direction of the Returning Truth Sect, and chuckled.

"Big Brother, right now--"

Lu Qingyu understood her Big Brother's intentions, and her small face instantly lit up with excitement. Lu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized—

"Truth Destroyer Type-1?!"

Night fell.

Zhang Chong, following the sect's orders, left Miao Yin City.

"Such an obvious ploy, do you think they'll fall for it?"

Zhang Chong, in his forties, emerged from the city gates under the cover of darkness, his heart filled with unease.

He had been a servant disciple of the Returning Truth Sect in his early years. With his glib tongue, he not only lived comfortably on Yellow Ganoderma Mountain but was also promoted to Servant Manager by the master he had followed for years, once he got older.

He managed dozens of servant disciples under him, a truly imposing position.

About a year and a half ago, a servant disciple named 'Lu Qingshan' was assigned to him.

Zhang Chong didn't pay much attention to him.

Whipping and mistreating Lu Qingshan wasn't a deliberate act of targeting.

After all, he had beaten and even killed quite a few servant disciples under his charge.

Who would have thought that this unremarkable Lu Qingshan would not only kill Wu Yuan, a newly promoted Inner Disciple of the Returning Truth Sect, but also escape from Yellow Ganoderma Mountain!

Afterward.

During the pursuit, many Returning Truth Sect disciples died at the hands of the Lu Qingshan brothers. News of this reached the Returning Truth Sect and immediately caused a stir. Later, as the conflict between the Returning Truth Sect and the Azure Jade Gate intensified, fewer people paid attention.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, the sect's Punishment Hall found him and ordered him to head to Miao Yin City.

He was to be used as bait to lure out the Lu Qingshan brothers in Miao Yin City.

Zhang Chong dared not resist. Today, upon seeing Lu Qingshan, he put on a show of arrogance and provocation, but in reality, he was terrified.

Just like at this moment.

His body trembled uncontrollably, yet he had to maintain a facade of composure as he walked along the dark night path.

The night was silent.

Zhang Chong's fear grew with every step he took.

Lu Qingshan was indeed unremarkable back then! But he first killed Wu Yuan, then escaped the Returning Truth Sect's pursuit, and even killed a Steward from the Punishment Hall.

No one knew if encountering this enemy of his would cause him to lose his mind and chase him out of the city to take his life.

As he was thinking this.

Zhang Chong's hair suddenly stood on end.

"Someone's there!"

Zhang Chong shouted, his voice even cracking with fear. However, his startled cry was abruptly cut short—

Bang!

An arrow, appearing from nowhere, sliced through the air and struck Zhang Chong's left chest. The arrow's force was immense, sending Zhang Chong flying several yards before he crashed heavily onto the ground!

The arrow pierced his chest, shredding his heart.

Zhang Chong's eyes were wide open, his life extinguished.

"Attack!"

From the darkness surrounding them, a roar erupted, followed by the sudden appearance of over a dozen figures.

The person leading them, wielding a Ring Pommel Saber, was none other than Zhao Zhou, the Chief of the Returning Truth Sect's Punishment Hall!

Rustle!

The sound of movement came from the nearby woods.

"They're over there, chase!"

Zhao Zhou took the lead, pursuing the sound. The dozen or so experts from the Punishment Hall followed closely behind, chasing into the woods toward a specific spot.
