Chapter 1270 - 1204: Kill Without Mercy, Scared to Wet Yourself!
The three of them, Qin Feiyang, exchanged glances and curiously walked over.
"It’s them!"
"Move aside!"
When people saw the three arriving, they immediately stepped back to both sides.
Even people from the Zhuge family dared to mess with them; what wouldn’t they dare to do?
So, everyone was very afraid.
The three of them walked nonchalantly to a counter.
This counter was made of transparent glass, so they could clearly see a jade box inside.
The jade box was about the size of an adult’s palm, very ordinary and plain.
Inside the jade box, however, was a multi-colored fruit.
The fruit was about the size of an egg, vibrant in color, but since the counter was enclosed, the fragrance couldn’t be smelled.
"What is this? I’ve never seen it before."
"I’ve also never seen it, but it looks like it might be delicious."
Someone nearby whispered.
"Why does it look kind of familiar?"
Suddenly.
A murmuring voice rang out.
"Hmm?"
Everyone turned to look and found that the speaker was Qin Feiyang.
An elderly man with graying hair curiously asked, "Young man, do you know what this is?"
Qin Feiyang smiled and said, "Isn’t this a question the staff here should be able to answer?"
Behind the counter stood a young woman, who, upon hearing Qin Feiyang’s words, apologized, saying, "Sir, sorry, even we at the Treasure Pavilion don’t know what this is."
"You don’t know yet you put it up for sale?"
Everyone was perplexed.
"This fruit isn’t for sale, it’s for exhibition only. But if someone can recognize it and truthfully inform us, our Treasure Pavilion will offer a great reward."
The young woman said with a sweet smile.
"What’s the reward?"
Someone asked.
"One billion Gold Coins."
The young woman said.
Upon hearing this, people immediately started staring at the fruit, racking their brains.
One billion Gold Coins was just a small benefit for Qin Feiyang, but to most people here, it was a huge sum.
So, everyone wanted to get this great reward.
However.
No matter how hard they thought, there was no information on this fruit in their memories.
"What on earth is this?"
Luk Zheng also bowed his head in thought.
"I remember now."
Lu Hong suddenly trembled slightly, and telepathically told Qin Feiyang, "Remember those three fruits you obtained in Qinghai?"
One word to awaken the person in a dream!
Qin Feiyang suddenly realized.
Indeed!
Back in Qinghai, he had followed Wang Zicheng onto an island and finally discovered a relic.
Inside the relic, he found a jade box.
The three fruits inside that box looked exactly the same as the one before them now!
"Li He tried everything but couldn’t find any data on those fruits, which already surprised me. But I didn’t expect even the Treasure Pavilion’s people wouldn’t know now."
"It seems this fruit is truly extraordinary."
Lu Hong mused.
Qin Feiyang nodded slightly. No matter what, he had to get this fruit today.
"Which friend is seeking me?"
Just then.
An aged voice rang out, and an elder with white hair walked out from a door.
It was Sun Dahai!
Qin Feiyang smiled faintly and went to meet him with Lu Hong and the other.
Sun Dahai glanced at the three, his pupils slightly shrinking. Such strong cultivation! He cupped his hands and smiled, "May I know who you are?"
Qin Feiyang smiled and said, "Just nobodies, not worth mentioning."
"You’re fooling ghosts!"
Sun Dahai murmured to himself, knowing that people who dare to mess with the Zhuge family can’t be insignificant.
But as a manager of the first district’s Treasure Pavilion, he naturally knew what to ask and what not to.
He smiled slightly and politely asked, "May I ask why you’re seeking me, young man?"
Qin Feiyang was just about to speak, but a loud shout suddenly erupted from outside.
"The woman who previously injured my two young masters, get out here within Three Stars!"
The voice was hoarse and filled with a chilling coldness.
"Hearing this voice, it seems like the Zhuge family’s steward!"
"Indeed, the Zhuge family will not let this lie."
People began murmuring quietly.
Those dozen or so pampered young masters who were with Zhuge Haolong earlier were also now in the hall, and upon hearing the Zhuge family’s steward’s voice, looked at Qin Feiyang and his companions with a cold smile creeping up their faces.
Luk Zheng said angrily, "We’ve hit the small ones, now the old ones come too. It never ends; I’ll go and sort him out."
Sun Dahai’s eyes gleamed, and he telepathically said, "The Zhuge family isn’t easy to deal with. I suggest you make big issues into small ones, and small ones into none."
"Just them?"
Luk Zheng sneered disdainfully and turned around to stride into the Treasure Pavilion.
"Interesting."
Sun Dahai glanced at Luk Zheng’s back, then looked at Qin Feiyang and Lu Hong, noticing there wasn’t a hint of tension on their faces, sparking his curiosity.
...
Outside!
An old man in black stood arrogantly in the middle of the street, exuding a menacing aura.
Behind him stood a group of fifteen black-armored guards, all equally arrogant in demeanor.
They were here for revenge, so naturally, Zhugue Haolong and Zhuge Haoyu, the two victims, were also present.
With the black-clad senior and a group of black-armored guards backing them, the two were confident, behaving imperiously and arrogantly.
Luk Zheng stepped out of the door, scanned the crowd, and sneered, "You came quickly!"
Being an Eight-star War Saint, he could see through their cultivation at a glance.
The black-clad elder, Nine-Star War Ancestor!
As a steward, management skills are required, not cultivation. Therefore, usually, a steward’s cultivation isn’t very strong.
And those black-armored guards have strength between Eight-Star and Nine-Star War Ancestor.
The old man in black shouted, "Stop wasting time and quickly hand over that vile ’woman’.
Lu Zheng’s expression turned cold, and he said, "You’d better clean up your mouth when talking to me!"
"How insolent!"
"Dare to talk to this old man with such an attitude, do you know who this old man is?"
The old man in black roared.
Lu Zheng slightly lifted the corner of his mouth, arrogantly saying, "And do you know who I am?"
The Zhuge family may be a noble clan, but compared to the Lu family, they are not worth mentioning.
"It seems you’re not just ordinarily arrogant."
"But I’m telling you, if you don’t hand over that woman, don’t think you’ll leave here today!"
The old man in black waved his hand, and those fifteen black-armored guards immediately stepped forward, blocking the entrance to the Treasure Pavilion.
"Just relying on you bunch of trash?"
Lu Zheng laughed mischievously.
"Your cultivation is strong. Even I can’t see through it, but so what?"
"My Zhuge family, if anything, has no shortage of powerful individuals. With just one signal from me, a large number of powerful people will come to support."
"By then, it won’t be just handing over that woman, you and another person will both die!"
"So you’d better be sensible."
The old man in black sneered coldly.
This other person naturally referred to Qin Feiyang.
"Haha..."
Lu Zheng laughed toward the sky.
The old man in black’s eyes flashed with killing intent, and he said with a sinister smile, "It seems you won’t listen to the voice of reason!"
With that, he took out an Image Crystal Stone, preparing to call for backup.
In fact, before coming, he had asked Zhuge Haolong about the other party’s cultivation?
After all, knowing oneself and knowing one’s enemy ensures victory in every battle.
But with the meager strength of Zhuge Haolong, how could he see through the cultivation of Qin Feiyang’s group? After pondering for a long time, they couldn’t come to a conclusion.
Seeing they couldn’t specify the other’s strength, the old man in black then asked about the ages of Qin Feiyang’s group.
Zhuge Haolong didn’t know either but said they weren’t much different in age.
And that was indeed true.
Not to mention Lu Zheng, just Qin Feiyang alone.
Zhuge Mingyang was older than Qin Feiyang.
And as Zhuge Mingyang’s cousin, Zhuge Haolong wouldn’t be much older than Qin Feiyang.
Upon learning this, the old man in black was reassured.
Confident!
Those three definitely weren’t strong.
Because they were too young.
Such young individuals, how strong could they be? At most, a War Ancestor.
So, he only brought a group of ordinary guards to avenge the insult to the young masters.
He originally thought, with his and those guards’ strength, they could easily deal with the three. But upon seeing them in person, he realized he was gravely mistaken!
He couldn’t even see through their cultivation!
They must be War Saints!
However, he wasn’t worried at all, because he believed that calling for support now wasn’t too late.
He didn’t believe the other party would dare to go all out against them.
He wasn’t blindly confident because in this Imperial Capital, except for the current Emperor, no one dared to touch anyone from the Zhuge family. Even people like the State Preceptor and Elder Qin would need to ask the Emperor’s permission to act against the Zhuge family.
Yet!
He severely underestimated Lu Zheng’s identity and methods.
As a direct descendant of the Lu family, would he fear the mere Zhuge family?
Not to mention killing a steward, even if he killed the so-called number one prodigy Zhuge Mingyang, no one would dare to do anything to him?
Whoosh!
Just as the old man in black was activating the Image Crystal Stone, Lu Zheng, like a phantom, darted to the front of the old man in black.
"Be careful!"
The dozen guards were shocked and shouted.
The old man in black’s pupils shrank, and in horror, he stepped back.
But with his cultivation, how could he escape the grasp of Lu Zheng?
Lu Zheng grabbed his throat, chuckling grimly, "No negotiations, to hell with you for repentance!"
"No..."
The old man in black roared in extreme panic.
Crack!
At the same time.
Lu Zheng squeezed his fingers tightly, directly snapping the old man in black’s neck, killing him on the spot!
"What?"
"He really killed him!"
People watched in shock and awe.
This steward, who followed Martial Marquis Zhuge for many years and earned his trust, was an important figure in the Zhuge family, although not as esteemed as a direct descendant.
Yet this man killed him just like that.
He’s blatantly challenging the authority of the Zhuge family!
Zhuge Haolong, Zhuge Haoyu, and that group of guards were also dumbfounded.
No one expected this man’s audacity to be so great, daring to kill even their steward.
But just as everyone was in shock, Lu Zheng’s gaze moved to Zhuge Haolong and Zhuge Haoyu.
"What does he want to do?"
"Does he intend to kill even Zhuge Haolong and Zhuge Haoyu?"
The crowd questioned with fear.
Lu Zheng grinned, "I spared you a dog’s life earlier. You should cherish it."
"You..."
The two turned pale with fear, their bodies trembling, and even a smell of urine wafted out.
"Did you wet yourselves in fear?"
Lu Zheng was momentarily stunned, glancing at their wet trousers.
It really wasn’t their fault.
Although they came from prominent families, their personal strength was lacking.
It was well-known that these pampered wastrels, while bullying and lording over others all day, were actually cowards at heart.
When faced with a crisis, their real nature was immediately exposed.
