269: Chapter 255: It’s him… That abnormal Lv Zhong! _1 269: Chapter 255: It’s him… That abnormal Lv Zhong! _1 Is it true? At this moment, Zheng Yunrui’s face turned pale with fear all over her eyes. The others in the room weren’t in much better shape than Zheng Yunrui either! Sёarᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Suppressing the grief in his heart, Zheng Kaifu dropped another bombshell: “Also, from the beginning of the mysterious person’s attack on the Zheng family villa complex in Yuezhou, to everyone’s death, the whole process did not exceed thirty minutes. When the police arrived, they didn’t find anything.” The Zheng family branch in Yue Province was wiped out in thirty minutes? All the high-level members of the Zheng family gasped in horror. “Any idea who did it?” Zheng Kailai, feeling suffocated, found it difficult to ask a question. Zheng Kaifu shook his head, “We don’t know who did it yet, but some of the dead were poisoned, some had their internal organs shattered by overpowering True Qi, others had no visible injuries and seemed to have died from exhaustion. Some even seemed as if their heads were shot open, but…” “So, it seems the people who attacked our Yuezhou branch weren’t alone but a whole group!” Zheng Yunrui interrupted Zheng Kaifu, a deep killing intent flashing in her peach blossom eyes. “Yunrui, don’t interrupt, let Kaifu continue.” Zheng Kailai glared at Zheng Yunrui and turned his gaze back to Zheng Kaifu, the person in charge of the information. Taking a deep breath, Zheng Kaifu said, “Those who looked as if their heads were shot open didn’t have any bullet-like objects in their brains, it’s very strange. It seemed as if someone removed the fired bullets. What’s more inconceivable is that all the dead clan members’ skeletons seemed as fragile as glass and showed no signs of them being accomplished ancient martial arts practitioners.” The Zheng family couldn’t have imagined that they had provoked a real master of enslaved insects. Those who died of poisoning were attacked by Poison-devouring bugs. Those who died of exhaustion were attacked by Soul-devouring bugs. Those seemingly shot dead were works of the golden beetles. Those whose skeletons turned weak and didn’t seem like accomplished practicers of ancient martial arts were due to the action of Marrow-sucking worms. One could say, the Zheng family had provoked a terrifyingly strange cultivator this time. “How could this be?” In the meeting room, Zheng Kaiyun, with a lean face and goatee, also exclaimed. The head of the family, Zheng Kailai, did not speak. His gaze fell on Zheng Kaiyuan, who had not spoken yet, and asked, “Second Brother, whom do you think did this?” Zheng Kaiyuan was the Zheng family’s chief strategist. The meteoric development and terrifying wealth of the Zheng family over the past thirty years was entirely due to his behind-the-scenes operations, making the Zheng family the wealthiest in China. The cooperation with the Japanese Iga Clan was also completed under his suggestion. It could be said that Zheng Kaiyuan’s influence within the Zheng family was even greater than the family head Zheng Kailai. Zheng Kaiyuan frowned, and after a while, said, “I can’t sort out the clues yet. However, I received information that Tianlei had sought help from Iga Guicang. Iga Guicang also took two genins to our Yuezhou branch, but none of the three were found among the dead in our Yuezhou branch. We also can’t reach them now, so I guess they either fell too or have been tracking that mysterious person all this while. Hence, I would like to wait and see. The ninjutsu of the Iga clan is indeed commendable. If they have also fallen, then, I suspect that the person we have provoked this time is unlikely to be a high-level practitioner from the ancient martial arts families…” “Who could it be then?” The impatient Zheng Yunrui quickly asked. “Cultivators!” Zheng Kaiyuan’s eyebrows furrowed into a “river” character, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes as he gently spat out a word. Cultivators? Zheng Kailai’s face changed. As the head of the Zheng family, he vaguely knew that there were a truly terrifying handful of people in this world, who were the true kings and rulers of the world. However, people like Zheng Kaifu, Zheng Kaiyun, Zheng Yunrui didn’t understand. “Second Brother, if it truly is a cultivator, I’m afraid our Zheng family needs to make more preparations!” Zheng Kailai suddenly felt a deep sense of fear, his face changed dramatically as he shouted out loud. Reminded by Zheng Kailai, Zheng Kaiyuan, the Zheng family’s chief strategist also showed a fearful expression, saying, “Correct, it’s better to be careful. In case it’s really a cultivator we’re dealing with, the troubles for our Zheng family could be big.” Zheng Kaiyuan suddenly stood up and shouted, “No, it’s better to have something to rely on. We need to arrange for clan members to scatter immediately…” Just then, a family member pushed open the door of the conference room in panic, looked frightened and shouted, “Master … Something bad happened, an … an … horde … horde of … insects … insects…” A bad premonition arose in Zheng Kailai’s heart, shocked, he slapped his palm on the chair and leaped up, appearing in front of the messenger, placed a hand on his back, transferred a piece of inner Qi to him to suppress the turmoil in the messenger’s Qi and blood, and hurriedly asked, “Calm down and tell us what happened?” With the inner Qi transferred by Zheng Kailai, the messenger finally gasped for breath, but he still was pale-faced and somewhat in shock, “A lot… a lot of bugs are surrounding the manor, whimper, many members of the family have died, even those training in the Military Cave including the elite members and the people from the Japanese Iga Clan were heavily devastated, whimper, whimper …” What? Zheng Kailai stumbled backward, his entire body going weak, and nearly collapsed to the ground. Zheng Kaiyuan also shivered all over. He wasn’t so much worried about the demise of the Zheng family members, but rather the death of the members from the Iga Clan hidden among them. If the Iga Clan was to found out, Zheng Kaiyuan definitely wouldn’t see good days. Zheng Kaiyuan, who had been put under a restraining order by the Onmyoji Grandmaster from the Iga Clan’s high-level power, couldn’t help but tremble at the memory of the horrors within the Iga Clan. That abnormal family had the ability to extract a person’s soul and torture it… Moreover, in the [Hidden Army Cave], there was a large-scale [Biochemical Laboratory] jointly constructed by Iga Clan and the Zheng family. If that were destroyed, the members of the Iga Clan would never forgive the Zheng family. And if it were discovered by the state’s authoritarian power, the entire Zheng family definitely wouldn’t end well… At this moment, Zheng Kaiyuan realized: he had foolishly pushed the Zheng family into such a predicament! “Bugs… bugs everywhere?” Zheng Kaiyuan muttered to himself with resentment. Suddenly, as if he had an epiphany, he said, “I know who’s against my Zheng family… damn, it’s Lv Zhong, the one who left the entire Dongfang Clan in ruin. Only he would… What? “Lv Zhong?” Zheng Kaifu, who was in charge of the Zheng family’s intelligence, found the recent news of Lv Zhong over the past half a year shocking to the entire high-end power of China. The Dongfang Clan was ranked second among the Eight Great Ancient Martial Arts Families. They had the top master in the ancient martial arts realm and four guards in the Innate Realm. But when they sought revenge on Lv Zhong, they had been humiliated by the insect army Lv Zhong had enslaved. Although the details of that battle weren’t known to other powers, the fact that the arrogant and domineering Dongfang family had been made to submit was enough to showcase Lv Zhong’s terror. Then, Lv Zhong produced the mysterious Age-Locking Pills and Rejuvenation Pills, shocking the entire world. However, nobody dared to snatch the pill formula from Lv Zhong. The Huang family, relying on their true heritage from an ancient martial arts line, audaciously demanded for the formula of Age-Locking Pills and Rejuvenation Pills from Lv Zhong. As a result, a junior from their family ended up being devastated and turned into a cripple. Even so, nobody from the Huang family intervened, showing some degree of fear… The Zheng family was similarly apprehensive of such a person. Hearing Zheng Kaiyuan’s words, several high-ranking members of the Zheng family were shocked. Zheng Kailai was even more indignant. “Why is it Lv Zhong? We have no grudge against him, we didn’t attempt to steal his pill formula, why would he wage war against us? Moreover, Lv Zhong didn’t truly commit a massacre in his battles with several other families, so why is he showing no mercy in dealing with my Zheng family? And he’s in Xiangnan Province, far from our Minnan Province and Yue Dong Province. Why would he destroy our branch in Yue Dong after the Zheng family’s extermination, show no mercy, and destroy our Minnan headquarters?” Unbelievable! Not just Zheng Kailai, but also people like Zheng Yunrui, Zheng Kaiyun, and Zheng Kaifu didn’t believe this. Zheng Kaiyuan gave a grief-stricken look and said, “Kaifu, you are in control of our family’s information. Are you aware that three days ago, Tian Lei and Zheng Mingzhu poisoned and harmed a special soldier surnamed Lv from a military zone in Yue Dong?” “Ah, could it be…” Zheng Kaifu’s face dramatically changed. Zheng Kaiyuan nodded, “That special soldier surnamed Lv is Lv Zhong’s cousin.” “Is that true?” Zheng Kailai was in despair. If Zheng Tianlei and Zheng Mingzhu were still alive, he would probably have killed them a thousand times over. However, he didn’t know that the Zheng family was in cahoots with the Japanese, setting up numerous biochemical laboratories, and victimizing countless Chinese people. Even without the issue of Lv Zhengguang, once Lv Zhong found out, he wouldn’t let the Zheng family off. One should know that at Star City, Lv Zhong had some vague inklings of the conspiracy against China by the Three Great Hidden Clans of Japan from Tengye Shininu and the others. Even if the matter hadn’t involved Lv Zhengguang, with the assistance of the memory copying technique of the [Soul-Devouring Bug], Lv Zhong would still be able to discover the collusion between the Zheng family and Iga Clan within the near future, even if it took a little longer. “It’s him… so it’s really that abnormal Lv Zhong…” Zheng Kaifu muttered to himself with a dazed expression. Zheng Kaiyuan took a deep breath and addressed the high ranks of the Zheng family in the room, “Everyone, there’s no point in saying any more. Let’s break out separately. We’ll consider any who manages to escape as a victory. It’s only by surviving today’s crisis that our Zheng family won’t be exterminated and we’ll have a hope to take revenge. We’re wealthy, as long as we can escape, it would be easy to rebuild the Zheng family. At that time, we can ask the Onmyoji Grandmaster of the Iga Clan to seek revenge for us. They’re also cultivators…” “Alright, everyone, let’s break out separately. As long as you escape, head immediately to Tokyo, Japan. I imagine that if our family is in trouble, the government will probably also know about our family’s collaboration with the Iga Clan of Japan. At that time, it’s likely that the state will send people after us too…” Zheng Kailai took a deep look at his brothers and sisters and spoke solemnly. (To be continued.
