189: Another Powerful Trump Card! Zheng Family’s Ancestor
“`
When Lu Qing returned to Jiuli Village, it was still dark and dawn had not yet come.
No one knew that he had traveled back and forth over a thousand miles overnight and completely annihilated a Seven Killings Tower outpost hundreds of miles away.
Sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed and after regaining his breath, Lu Qing began to ponder.
He was primarily summarizing the gains and losses of tonight’s battle.
First of all, there was nothing noteworthy about the opponent.
Yuan Yang Village was just an ordinary outpost of the Seven Killings Tower, although it had several Internal Organ Realm assassins and was heavily guarded with both conspicuous and hidden sentries.
But to Lu Qing, who possessed the power of the Divine Soul, this was as good as non-existent.
The few Internal Organ Realm assassins, led by a man in brocade garb, had not put any pressure on him at all.
It couldn’t be helped. His current accumulation of power was simply too vast, already far beyond the scope of an ordinary Postnatal Realm Martial Artist.
Lu Qing estimated that, with his current strength within the Postnatal Realm, perhaps only legendary peerless geniuses or Children of Fate could pressure him.
Or those direct descendants trained by top sects, possessing various powerful secret techniques.
Others, even Martial Arts Grandmasters who had cultivated their Divine Soul Power, were probably not his match in a normal state, let alone forcing out his various trump cards.
Even ordinary Innate Realm ones…
He would have to actually fight to know.
This retaliation did not surprise Lu Qing.
Rather, the process had brought him quite a surprise.
The biggest surprise was the effect of the Earth Element Talisman.
A single Earth Element Talisman allowed him to traverse a thousand miles without fatigue. Such an auxiliary effect was indeed astonishing.
This also made Lu Qing realize that although he could currently only store five Magic Talismans in the space of his brow chakra, and only one of each attribute,
if used properly, these five talismans would become one of his greatest trump cards.
“With a talisman condensed from Primordial Qi having such miraculous effects, I wonder what power those ‘Spirit Talismans’ refined with Spiritual Energy in the legacy would possess.”
Lu Qing couldn’t help but imagine.
The Rune Path is a very unique cultivation system.
It takes the natural world as its teacher, thus it has strong adaptability and is not constrained by the immediate cultivation environment.
In periods where Spiritual Energy is rich and the path of Immortal Cultivation thrives, it bases itself on Spiritual Energy to condense various strange ‘Spirit Talismans’ for combat and self-enhancement.
In eras where Spiritual Energy is scarce, it uses Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to condense Primordial Energy Talismans, and although its power is much less than that of ‘Spirit Talismans’, it still possesses various unusual abilities.
Lu Qing had already experienced the strength of the Primordial Energy Talismans.
Naturally, he anticipated even more the stronger ‘Spirit Talismans’.
With the recovery of Spiritual Energy imminent, if the power of the ‘Spirit Talismans’ is strong enough,
then his cultivation in the Rune Path, even without switching to Immortal Cultivation, would not fear anyone.
After mulling over the Rune Path, Lu Qing thoroughly reviewed the process of this journey.
After ensuring he had not overlooked or neglected anything, and his identity was exposed, he then lay down to rest for a while.
Just as Lu Qing was resting in his dreams,
elsewhere in the Zheng Mansion of the famous Cangzhou State Mansion, an incredibly oppressive atmosphere was enveloping the area.
“Are you telling me, this is Yu’er?”
In the main hall of Zheng Mansion, the imposing Zheng Family Master was asking with an icy face.
Before him, several guards were kneeling on the ground, and in the center, two bodies covered with white silk were lying.
One had their brow chakra pierced, and the other had their entire head blown off, leaving a headless corpse.
Hearing the Family Master’s question, the kneeling guards trembled and started shivering, none daring to answer.
As for the other guards and servants in the hall, they were as silent as cicadas in winter, not even daring to breathe too loudly, desperately trying to minimize their presence.
Who could have imagined that the second son would die just from a trip outside?
If the old ancestor knew, it’s hard to say how many would die.
“`
“I’m asking you all a question, has everyone gone deaf?”
Zheng Family Master’s face grew even colder.
Feeling the Family Head’s increasingly icy gaze, finally, a guard with a trembling voice, struggled to speak.
“Re, Replying to the Family Head, when the Second Young Master left the mansion this afternoon, he was wearing this very outfit, and he was accompanied by Commander Yang here.”
“So, Yu’er was killed within less than a day after he went out, not even a complete body could be left behind. Who can tell me what happened, and where exactly did he go this afternoon?”
