105: Chapter 105 Killing Wei Qiwen

In Wei Qiwen's eyes, the Lu Zheng before him was no longer harmless; he had instantly become a behemoth, a terrifying existence whose immense power made it impossible for him to even think of resisting.

He had only ever seen this kind of power in the bishops.

His eyes were filled with deep terror.

In an instant, many thoughts flooded his mind. He recalled the two bishops who had died on the outskirts of Jianghai City while attempting to besiege Qin Yao some time ago; that battle had been a massive blow to their Holy Spirit Sect.

It had enraged their leader, yet to this day, they had not been able to identify the person who intervened to help Qin Yao.

Now, because they had targeted Qin Yao, the Holy Spirit Sect was facing a brutal suppression campaign by the Chinese Government, leaving them with no spare resources to investigate in Jianghai City.

Could the Lu Zheng standing before him be The Mysterious Person who had intervened that day?

"Gulp..."

Wei Qiwen swallowed hard in fear. If Lu Zheng's display of strength had frightened him, realizing this possibility brought even more dread and terror. He had hidden himself so deeply, acting like a mastermind behind the scenes—who exactly was he, and what was he planning to do!

"You cannot be Lu Zheng. Who on earth are you?"

"Which faction's high-ranking official are you?!"

Wei Qiwen asked in terror.

"I am the very Lu Zheng you are looking for. Level 1 Deacon asked the same thing before he died."

"Level 1 Deacon didn't die at the hands of someone in Jianghai City?"

Wei Qiwen was shocked, but he realized in an instant that since Level 1 Deacon had offended this person, he had no chance of surviving. Perhaps from the very beginning, the fate of the Holy Spirit Sect members who came to Jianghai City had already been sealed.

"I don't care if you are Lu Zheng or not. I admit that everyone was fooled by you. Falling into your hands, I have nothing to say."

"You must be very interested in The Great Tomb that is about to open. I know a lot about it, even things related to the Breakthrough to the Fourth Realm, but I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

"Just kill me. Don't even think about getting any information out of me."

Wei Qiwen closed his eyes and said no more. Lu Zheng looked at the man before him with complete indifference, reached out, grabbed his neck, and unleashed terrifying force.

In that split second, Wei Qiwen's eyes snapped open.

His eyes were filled with deep confusion; he wanted to speak, but he could no longer do so.

Why, why?

Why didn't he interrogate him? Why did he act so decisively? Was he not curious? Did he not want to know all of this?

He had already said that he knew many details, that The Great Tomb held the Opportunity for a Breakthrough to the Fourth Realm!

No, he didn't want to die!

"Snap..."

Lu Zheng crushed Wei Qiwen's neck instantly, and simultaneously, his power surged into the man's body, pulverizing his brain tissue.

He was dead beyond any doubt.

His body slumped powerlessly to the ground. An evolved powerhouse at the Peak of the Second Realm, just one step away from a Breakthrough to the Tier 3 Martial Artist level, had died at Lu Zheng's hands.

Lu Zheng did not abandon his habit of looting the corpse, but he found absolutely nothing on him. It seemed that to avoid detection, he had not carried the divine statue with him.

"It's a bit of a pity about my Divinity Points."

Looking at Wei Qiwen's corpse, Lu Zheng couldn't help but say.

"You're overthinking it. I don't care about your intelligence because I never intended to get involved in the matter of The Great Tomb."

"After all, my current strength was all gained through my own hard work; The Great Tomb is of little use to me."

With the System and his mastery of the Dao of martial arts, one could say the only thing he lacked was time.

"As for your Holy Spirit Sect wanting to deal with my master."

"It's not hard to guess. The best Opportunity would be the upcoming Apprenticeship Banquet; that is the perfect time to strike."

"For me, as long as my strength is sufficient, I can suppress everything. If you can manage to cause any trouble, it only means my strength is not yet strong enough."

Lu Zheng looked around, took Wei Qiwen's corpse away, and after using some methods to dispose of it, he returned to the vicinity of the School.

By this time, the person sent by Master Bai An had also arrived.

Although the person who came was not sure why the Grandmaster Jiquan would ask him to protect this student and escort him home, he still carried out his duty very seriously.

"You must be Lu Zheng. Let's go."

Lu Zheng acted as if nothing had happened and obediently followed the man who had come for him, while elsewhere, Master Bai An was somewhat enraged.

Someone had actually dared to target his disciple.

"Master, please don't be angry. I will go and warn the Fang Family right now."

"Daring to target my Junior Brother—I think the Fang Family is truly courting death."

Cheng Lixuan said hurriedly, then immediately made a phone call. Jianghai City was his territory, and he wouldn't let anyone bully his own people. After making the call, he rushed to his master's side.

"Master, I have already taken care of it."

"The people from the Fang Family will handle this matter urgently, so we can rest assured."

Cheng Lixuan said, while Master Bai An, who was nearby, also received news from the person he had sent that they had picked up Lu Zheng and were on their way home.

The anger on his face eased slightly.

"Master, is my Junior Brother Lu Zheng's talent really that strong?"

"I've met this kid before; he was just an ordinary person, though his sister's strength is quite good, and she has a lot of potential."

Cheng Lixuan asked with some curiosity. When he heard his Junior Brother's name from his master, he thought he had misheard and was quite startled.

"Compared to you, he should be much stronger."

"It's been so long, and you still haven't reached the mastery Realm in your Second Realm fist techniques."

"What, are you planning to improve only after your master is dead?"

Master Bai An looked at his disciple and said helplessly.

"Master, it's just that there have been too many things happening in Jianghai City recently, and I haven't had much time to practice martial arts. I promise you, Master, I will definitely Breakthrough to the third tier in the shortest time possible."

Cheng Lixuan said hurriedly. He was somewhat skeptical about his Junior Brother's talent; he might be stronger than him, but he shouldn't be that much stronger.

Unlike his Senior Brother, who was somewhat of a freak.

"Although I am severely injured, I am still a Tier 3 Martial Artist."

"Hurry up and Breakthrough to the third tier while I am still alive."

"Otherwise, there will only be the two of you left in our Baji Sect, and once we lose a Tier 3 Martial Artist, the resources allocated to you will be greatly reduced, or even non-existent."

"Everything will depend on you. If you can't even reach the third tier now, let alone after the resources are gone."

Master Bai An said earnestly. Cheng Lixuan's expression was solemn, and he nodded in agreement. He understood the situation his master was describing; resources in the Martial Arts World were already scarce, and if the Baji Sect received one less share, others would naturally get more.

There were only seven Schools in the Martial Arts World that had a Tier 3 Martial Artist acting as a Grandmaster, and among these seven, their Baji Sect was the weakest.

No matter what the external situation was, internal strife always existed, and this kind of struggle was permitted by those above. After all, in this era, what was needed were the strong, not the weak.

Resources were limited, status was limited, and the capable got them first.
