A Handful of Dirt! A Stone!

"Good! The time is about right!"

Zhao Jun finally placed a token into a small pouch as well.

This token was also crucial for his return to the Inner Sect.

And this small pouch was a Storage Bag.

Zhao Wu had specifically bought it for Zhao Jun to carry supplies.

After becoming an Inner Sect disciple, although the competition became even fiercer,

one could also enjoy certain benefits from the sect.

First came the availability of channels to purchase things like pills and magical artifacts.

The small Storage Bag in Zhao Jun's hands was only about one cubic meter in size.

Yet it was extremely difficult to obtain. Only sects that specifically supported Artifact Refiners had them in stock.

Once he had packed everything up,

Zhao Jun quietly left his room, intending to return to the Inner Sect under the cover of night.

As for Zhou Feng, he had already begun scouting the area.

After investigating, he discovered that there was only one path leading to the mountainside.

The other areas were basically covered in dense forest.

And traveling from Meat Gu Cave No. 23 to the mountainside would inevitably require passing along one road.

Moreover, that road was right in the middle, and patrolling disciples rarely went there.

It was undoubtedly an excellent place for an ambush.

"Should I go back and sleep for a while first?"

Zhou Feng slapped a mosquito dead on his arm, then considered whether he should return and get some rest.

Zhao Jun had been severely injured by him, so he probably would not be moving around anytime soon.

Staying here any longer would only be feeding the mosquitoes.

Just as he was thinking that, a figure appeared in the distance.

Under the bright moonlight, the figure stood out particularly clearly.

At once, he shrank back into the trees.

Looking closely, it was actually Zhao Jun?

His injuries had healed so quickly?

Zhao Jun looked completely uninjured now, hurrying forward with his head down.

"I can't hesitate!"

Because Zhao Jun was walking with his head down, he moved extremely quickly.

Seeing him about to slip past, Zhou Feng could not hesitate any longer.

With that, Zhou Feng grabbed a fist-sized stone in his right hand.

His left hand held a handful of fine, dry dust.

Dust attack!

The fine dust once again got into Zhao Jun's eyes.

This familiar move left Zhao Jun completely stunned.

"What's going on?"

That question had only just surfaced in Zhao Jun's mind

when a stone struck the back of his head.

A fatal blow!

Zhou Feng did not dare hold back at all, afraid that if he failed to knock him out in one blow, he would attract someone's attention.

To be honest, Zhao Jun had never expected anyone to attack him.

He believed every one of his actions had been flawless.

After his conflict with Zhou Feng, he had immediately and decisively sold off all the resources in his possession.

He had not gone to settle the score with Zhou Feng himself.

Because Zhao Jun understood very clearly that all Outer Sect disciples were nothing more than the lowest-grade slaves.

As long as Young Master Zhao Wu acted, Zhou Feng would have nowhere to run.

And Zhao Jun's capital for surviving in the Three Gu Sect was for his master to become stronger.

It was a relationship of mutual interest, and Zhao Jun understood it perfectly.

After turning all the resources he had extorted in the Outer Sect into Blood Pills and Origin Blood Pills, Zhao Jun had even fled overnight.

But he had never expected to still fall for it!

The main thing was that it had caught him off guard. Who the hell would have thought Zhou Feng would not sleep in the middle of the night,

but instead lie in ambush here? Was there something wrong with his head?

But no matter how unwilling Zhao Jun was, it was already too late.

"It actually went this smoothly!"

To be honest, even Zhou Feng found it a little hard to believe.

It had gone far too smoothly. He had originally been prepared for some kind of complication.

But the whole process had been extremely brief.

In less than a dozen seconds, Zhou Feng had successfully launched his sneak attack.

One handful of dirt and one stone had instantly left Zhao Jun dazed.

Although the method he had just used was somewhat underhanded, it was undeniably effective.

After freezing for a second, he immediately dragged Zhao Jun into the woods.

This was to prevent the patrolling disciples from discovering them.

Inside a small cave, Zhou Feng had brought Zhao Jun all the way here.

He had stumbled upon this small cave while looking for an escape route earlier.

It was located directly within the dense forest, with plenty of weeds at the entrance blocking the view.

Zhou Feng had previously moved some food here as well.

He planned to undergo closed-door cultivation here for ten days or so.

And because he had been too nervous just now, he had not had time to check what had happened to Zhao Jun.

"This..."

Upon closer inspection, Zhou Feng realized that he seemed to have used too much force.

The back of Zhao Jun's head had caved in.

He had been worried before that he would not knock him unconscious, but now it was no longer a matter of whether he was unconscious.

He had simply beaten him to death.

For some reason, Zhou Feng did not feel much discomfort as he faced the corpse before him.

Perhaps he had gotten used to it.

During the three months he had spent in the Outer Sect, Zhou Feng had suffered quite a few shocks.

It was only a corpse, after all.

It had to be said that human adaptability was truly strong.

"He didn't bring anything? Impossible!"

He began searching Zhao Jun's body, but strangely enough, he found nothing?

Impossible! Zhao Jun could not possibly have brought nothing with him!

Who fled overnight without taking anything? That made no sense.

Soon, he discovered an exquisite little cloth pouch.

"Could this be the legendary Storage Bag?"

Based on his experience reading fantasy novels in the past, Zhou Feng made a reasonable guess.

Sure enough, just as he had expected,

this really was a Storage Bag. He very easily figured out how to use it.

It also contained quite a few pills and other items.

First were more than ten bottles of Blood Pills, each bottle containing around a dozen Blood Pills.

There were more than a hundred Blood Pills alone, enough for him to use for quite some time.

Then there was a special pill bottle containing pills that looked very similar to Blood Pills.

With just one sniff, the Bloodthirsty Gu inside his body began to stir again.

Other than that, there was only some food and clothing left.

This was simply perfect! Cultivation resources, food, and clothing.

Zhou Feng felt that he could live in this cave for a very long time.

"I'm sorry! But who told this world to be the way it is?"

After tying the Storage Bag around his waist, Zhou Feng bowed toward Zhao Jun's corpse.

Then he dug a pit and buried Zhao Jun directly.

This world was like this, forcing him to make such a choice.

After burying Zhao Jun, he felt a little hungry.

He casually put a piece of dried meat into his mouth.

As soon as the dried meat entered his stomach, his stomach began to work, digesting everything like an incinerator.

Gluttony's passive had triggered.

Strands of additional blood qi began spreading through his entire body from his tailbone.

The Bloodthirsty Gu inside his body also stirred at the scent. When he ate, the Bloodthirsty Gu ate as well.

A large amount of blood qi within his body was continuously drawn in by the Bloodthirsty Gu.
