Chapter 83: The Longevitv Sect Takes the Blame, Striking

First

Translator: Atlas Studios       Editor: Atlas Studios

“A Force Tempering Martial Master is so poor?!”

Han Zhao couldn’t help but curse softly.

That strike just now had used more than half of his true qi and even released half of the sword qi nurtured in the Afterlife Sword to kill Meng Jue.

1,000 taels could only be considered a marginal fee.

He was so poor, yet he still learned how to rob others!

He did not even develop the good habit of carrying secret manuals with him.

Meng Jue’s spear technique looked very powerful. If only he had the secret manual with him.

It was not until the Severing Karma Saber absorbed all the blood qi in Meng Jue’s body and the data on the system interface changed that Han Zhao shifted his attention. Severing Karma Saber—spirit Artifact

Grade: Unranked

Spirituality: 2% (Upgradeable)

Saber Intent: 3%

Effect: Bloodthirst Level 2

“The spirituality and saber intent have increased by 1%, and the Bloodthirst level has also increased by one level. This…”

Killing a Force Tempering Martial Master had increased the attributes of the

Severing Karma Saber in all aspects. This was something he had not expected.

Although it was not an exaggerated increase, if he killed a few more Force Tempering Martial Masters…

Han Zhao’s eyes lit up.

Although he would not deliberately kill to increase the power of the Severing Karma Saber, no matter how stable and low-key he was, the higher he went, the easier it was for him to encounter unavoidable battles.

In any case, they were already enemies. There was not much difference in how they died.

Instead of wasting it, it was better to become nourishment for the Severing Karma Saber. It could also resolve the karma of the other party taking the initiative to provoke him.

“Fortunately, this spear should be quite valuable.”

Han Zhao picked up Meng Jue’s steel spear and unscrewed it from the middle. He split it into two and wrapped it in cloth.

“I have to go!”

Hearing footsteps coming from the forest not far away, Han Zhao circulated his blood qi and gathered it towards his legs. He used the Wind Riding Leg and left the scene.

“It’s there. There was the commotion of a battle just now!”

“Quick, take a look.”

“Someone’s dead.”

Not long after Han Zhao left, four martial artists in black clothes and weapons rushed to the scene. The four of them were all Bone Tempering Realm martial artists.

“Damn it! I’m late. Otherwise, I could have picked up something!” One of the rough-looking men spat on the ground.

“There’s something wrong with the corpse!”

“The head is over there. Let’s see if it’s some unlucky guy we know.”

“Let me see… Hiss!” Another sinister-looking young man picked up the head and suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air. Then, he looked at the rough man and said with a trembling voice, “Big… Big Brother, fortunately, we’re late!” “What do you mean?” The rough man frowned.

The sinister-looking young man turned his head around, revealing Meng Jue’s old face with wide eyes.

“Oh my god! Is this f*cking Meng Jue?!”

“Who is it?!”

“The head of the Meng family, a Force Tempering Martial Master!

The other two hurriedly went forward.

“Not good! Only a Martial Master can kill a Force Tempering Martial Master. The other party might not have gone far! Run!” The rough man shouted and ran.

“Brother, wait for us!”

The other three were scared out of their wits. They really hated their parents for not giving them two more legs.

In less than an hour, the Meng family and the people from the county office arrived at the scene.

The people from the Meng family were four registered elders of the Blood Tempering Realm and Meng Jue’s relatives.

The people from the county office were the eldest young master of the Wu family, Wu Bi, the chief constable of the county office, Wu Feiyi, and a group of bailiffs.

The Meng family disciples surrounded Meng Jue’s corpse and wailed.

They had not only lost a family member but also the Meng family’s stabilizing force.

There were only two Force Tempering Martial Masters in the Meng family. The other was Meng Jue’s younger brother, Meng Su. However, Meng Su had already gone to the prefecture capital to develop in the early years and settled down in the prefecture capital.

Even if Meng Su returned to Blackrock City to avenge Men Jue out of brotherhood, they didn’t even know who the murderer was.

Moreover, Meng Su’s strength was not much stronger than Meng Jue’s. Meng Su might not be able to deal with an expert who could kill Meng Jue.

With Meng Jue’s death, without the Force Tempering Martial Master holding down the fort, the Meng family’s status as one of the five great families of Blackrock City would be lost.

The resources controlled by the Meng family would definitely be greatly reduced, which meant that internal competition would intensify.

Some of the profligate sons among them could have used Meng Jue’s reputation to lord over Blackrock City, but they probably wouldn’t be able to do so in the future.

“According to the wound, it should be a sword wound on the neck and a saber wound on the heart. However, we don’t know the situation of the attacker yet. It might be a Martial Master who’s good at sabers and swords, or two Martial

Masters who attacked together with a saber and a sword.”

Wu Feiyi squatted beside Meng Jue’s headless corpse and conducted a preliminary inspection based on his many years of work experience.

“Looking at the footprints, there’s only Martial Master Meng and another person. However, we can’t rule out the possibility that the murderer faked the scene.”

Wu Bi frowned slightly.

The matter of Meng Zhi being killed in the inner city had yet to be investigated. Now that Meng Jue was killed outside Nine Links Town, troublesome matters came one after another.

Wu Feiyi continued to examine Meng Jue’s corpse and added, “Martial Master Meng’s body is a little shriveled. It seems that he used a supreme move that greatly consumed his blood qi before he died.”

Blackrock City, together with the nearby affiliated villages, fortresses, and villages, had at least 200,000 to 300,000 people. On the surface, there were only 20 to 30 Martial Masters.

Even if they included those in the dark, it would at most double. This also included the various Martial Masters who were heading to the prefecture capital to develop.

According to his understanding, there were not many people who could kill Meng Jue.

At this moment, County Magistrate Wu Di rushed over after hearing the news. Everyone from the Meng family hurriedly surrounded him.

“The county magistrate is here!”

“County Magistrate Wu, you have to uphold justice for our Meng family! ”

Wu Di glanced at Meng Jue’s slightly shriveled corpse and his pupils constricted. He immediately said in a low voice, “I’ll naturally investigate this matter. You guys can disperse first!”

Although there were still some people who were unwilling to leave, facing Wu Di, who had reached the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering, the Meng family could only return and wait for news.

“Take the body back to the county office.”

“Yes!”

Under Wu Di’s instructions, the bailiffs carried Meng Jue’s corpse on a stretcher.

“Why is it so light?”

The two guards carrying the stretcher exerted strength at the same time, but they suddenly realized that although Meng Jue was tall and looked very heavy, his corpse was unimaginably light.

“Light?” Wu Feiyi was stunned when he heard this and prepared to go forward to check.

Wu Bi caught a glimpse of Wu Di’s gaze and immediately ordered, “Bring the corpse to the county office first!”

“Yes!” The two bailiffs immediately moved.

The onlookers who had rushed over after hearing the news were pointing at him. As the strongest expert in Blackrock City, Wu Di was naturally recognized by someone with sharp eyes.

Returning to the county office, Wu Di dismissed his left and right, leaving only wu Bi.

Wu Di held the autopsy saber and personally cut open Meng Jue’s chest.

“This is…” Looking at Meng Jue’s shriveled internal organs, Wu Bi’s pupils suddenly constricted.

“Only the Blood Spirit Policy of the Longevity Sect can do this. Moreover…” Wu Di’s face was as dark as water as he pointed at Meng Jue’s head, “Look at Meng Jue’s expression.”

“An expression?!” Wu Bi was stunned for a moment. He saw that Meng Jue’s shock and unwillingness before his death still lingered on his face, looking like he had died with remaining grievances.

It seemed normal to have such an expression before death. Wu Bi had seen it many times.

“Some time ago, I discovered that the Meng family was secretly in contact with the Zhang family. After investigation, I discovered that they were also related to the Longevity Sect,” Wu Di said in a low voice.

“Longevity Sect? Didn’t the Hall Master of the Blood Spirit Hall agree to…” Wu Bi’s expression changed and he finally reacted.

“Father, you’re saying that the people from the Blood Spirit Hall pretended to gain the Meng family’s trust and tricked Meng Jue out. They ambushed him at close range and killed him, pretending to have an intense battle.”

“That’s possible.” Wu Di nodded. “The people of the Longevity Sect are not trustworthy to begin with. I agreed to cooperate with them because I had no choice.”

“Father, what should we do now?”

“Let’s wait and see. The Meng family doesn’t have a Martial Master anymore, so there’s no need to pay attention to them.”

“Yes!”

In the inner city. Xu Jin’s residence.

“Bang!”

Xu Jin threw a porcelain vase worth hundreds of taels to the ground and smashed it into pieces.

“Ah—! Old fart! Why?! I’m the eldest son!” Xu Jin picked up the crumpled letter on the table and let out a furious roar.

“Second Young Master! Second Young Master! Ah!”

At this moment, a young maidservant who was about 16 or 17 years old barged into the room. When she saw the porcelain shards on the ground and the ferocious-looking Xu Jin, she was shocked.

“Lü Zhu? What are you still doing here?! Don’t you know that your Miss is about to become the family head?” Xu Jin’s eyes were red and his expression was crazy.

“Second Young Master, what are you talking about?” Lü Zhu was stunned. “Take a look for yourself!” Xu Jin grabbed the crumpled letter and threw it at Lü Zhu.

Lü Zhu took the letter and opened it. She looked shocked. “Master is coming back? Does he already know about Third Miss’s breakthrough?”

“How is it? Are you happy?” Xu Jin asked coldly.

When Lü Zhu heard this, a trace of viciousness flashed across her eyes. She went forward and hugged Xu Jin’s arm. She said coquettishly, “Second Young

Master, what are you talking about? I’m on your side.”

“On my side? You’re doing that to become my wife!” Xu Jin sneered.

“Doesn’t that mean that Second Young Master and I are on the same side?” Lü Zhu said with a smile.

“With my previous attitude towards Xu Ling, do you think she will spare me when she becomes the head of the family?”

“Since that’s the case, let’s make Third Miss unable to be the family head.”

“What do you mean?”

“Second Young Master, I came to tell you that I just received news that the head of the Meng family, Martial Master Meng Jue, was killed outside Nine Links

Town.”

“What? Meng Jue is dead?!” Xu Jin was shocked.

“Second Young Master, that’s not the main point.” Lü Zhu smiled and said, “We haven’t found out who the murderer is. Since the other party can even kill a Martial Master, it seems normal to kill two Blood Tempering Realm martial artists because of an ‘accident’, right?”

“Why two?” Xu Jin was stunned.

“Third Miss’s lover is a genius martial artist who broke through to the Blood Tempering Realm at the age of 20. If he becomes suspicious, there will be trouble, so…” Lü Zhu explained.

“You’re so vicious!” Xu Jin was all smiles as he pinched Lü Zhu’s nose hard. “But I like it!”

“Ah- Second Young Master.” Lü Zhu squeezed into Xu Jin’s arms.

“It’s better to do this sooner than later. When that kid Han Zhao goes to look for Xu Ling, poison them to death together. You don’t have to worry about the rest. I’ll deal with the aftermath. When I become the family head, I’ll marry you!” Xu Jin’s eyes were fierce. Even the heavens were helping him, so he could only strike first. “Thank you, Second Young Master!”

“Hahahahaha!”
