There were 242 white-clad avengers who had come to Zeng Family Manor to seek vengeance.
The resentment and killing intent of 242 people had fused into one. Even from forty or fifty yards away, it sent a chill through the body.
Among the men, women, young, and old of Zeng Family Manor who had hastily armed themselves, many already had trembling legs.
The Zeng Family possessed excellent authentic cultivation methods. Getting started was not difficult; one merely had to work hard, endure hardship, and eat well enough.
They had built their fortunes in You Province over a thousand years and were rich enough to throw their weight around. As long as their descendants were willing to put in the effort, Spirit Herbs and pills might be another matter, but there was no question of having enough meat to eat.
Every member of the Zeng Family could learn martial arts if they were willing to work at it. It was no exaggeration to say that, among the thousands of people surnamed Zeng in Zeng Family Manor, those who truly knew no martial arts could be counted on one hand. In fact, aside from some children, most of them were fairly skilled.
In general, once they reached adulthood, they were at least at the Houtian level, no weaker than Pan Long when he had been "unbeatable among Dingfeng Town's younger generation." For anyone willing to train hard, the peak of Houtian was well within reach.
But without enough life-and-death combat, it was difficult to break through to the Innate level with the Zeng Family's cultivation method. Thus, they had few Innate Masters.
When your family was rich and powerful, why risk your life? What need was there?
That was how Demonic Path cultivation methods worked: easy to practice, hard to break through.
