Inner city.
The mansion in the center of Yonghe Square is the county government office of Black Rock City.
At this time, the night was dark, but the county government office gate was still brightly lit. Stone lions nearly three meters high stood majestically on both sides of the vermilion gate. Two soldiers in armor stood on one left and one on the right, their bodies standing upright like javelins.
Generally speaking, county magistrates cannot maintain private soldiers, and those who guard county offices are at best government servants.
It is the power of the county captain to be in charge of the military affairs of a county.
However, in this world, force is supreme. As the strongest person in Black Rock City, County Magistrate Wu Di is comparable to the Tu Emperor in the nearby generation.
Now the county captain of the county government is Wu Di's eldest son, Wu Bi, who achieved three qi and blood breakthroughs at the age of thirty.
In addition, Wu Feiyi, the chief arrester of the county government, is also a descendant of the Wu family.
Under normal circumstances, Wu Di would not be stationed in the county government office, and Wu Bi would be in charge.
At this time, Wu Feiyi, the usually steady chief of the county government, hurriedly broke into the county government without waiting for notification.
"Young Master! It's not good!"
"Young Master! Something happened!"
Wu Feiyi ran to the backyard of the county government office and shouted.
"Huh?!" In the bedroom of the main house, Wu Bi was sleeping soundly with his 16-year-old beautiful concubine in his arms, and was awakened from his dream by this sudden shout.
"Is it Fei Yi's voice? Something happened!" Wu Bi's expression changed when he heard the familiar voice.
Wu Feiyi's usually steady personality allowed him to enter the house late at night, and making such a fuss meant that something big had obviously happened.
Wu Bi sat up from the bed, suddenly opened the quilt, put on his shoes, picked up the coat hanging on the shelf, put it on and walked out.
"Squeak~"
Wu Bi opened the door and looked at Wu Feiyi who was looking anxious in the yard. He stepped forward and said, "Feiyi, what happened?"
"Young Master, Zhang Tianwen and Meng Zhi were killed! They were in the alley around the corner from the back door of Zuiyue Tower."
Wu Feiyi lowered his voice.
"Two Blood Training Realm warriors were killed in the inner city?!" Wu Bi's pupils tightened, this matter is not trivial.
Zhang Tianwen broke through to the blood training realm at the age of twenty-two, and is considered a genius, but this is not an exaggeration.
But Meng Zhi is different.
A person who is less than 20 years old in the blood training realm still learns the most difficult marksmanship. Even the martial arts academy in Fucheng can be regarded as excellent.
The most important thing is that the Meng family is one of the five major families. On the surface, there is a martial arts master, but in the early years, another martial artist went to Fucheng to develop.
This situation is common in their big family. The Wu family also has people in Fucheng, and Wu Bi also traveled to Fucheng in his early years.
Including the martial arts masters from the martial arts academy, many of them came from the Fucheng martial arts academy.
Zhang Tianwen only broke through in the past few days, and Meng Zhi broke through in less than three months.
Two geniuses who had just broken through to the blood training realm died in the inner city. It looked like a conspiracy by a hostile family to stifle the genius.
This kind of thing happened in the early years, but then everyone did it, and Blackstone City was almost destroyed.
Finally, all the martial arts masters in the city jointly agreed that no martial arts masters were allowed to attack in the inner city, nor were they allowed to attack blood training realm warriors.
"What's the specific situation?!" Wu Bi then asked.
"I'm not sure. I heard that Meng Zhi was beaten to the street and killed on the spot! Zhang Tianwen's head was even blown off, and he was killed with just a few moves!" Wu Feiyi explained: "Now the head of the Zhang family, and The martial arts masters of the Meng family took the body to find the eldest master."
"Follow me to dad's place!" Wu Bi walked quickly towards the county government office.
Wu Feiyi followed closely behind.
When the two arrived at the Wu family mansion in Anyefang from Yonghefang, they saw a circle of people standing around the front yard, all holding lanterns, lighting up the yard.
In the open space in the middle of the yard, there were two stretchers covered with white cloth. The blood had soaked a large piece of the white cloth red.
Just looking at the amount of bleeding, he was dead.
"Master!"
The children of the Wu family in the courtyard saluted one after another.
Wu Bi found a stooped old man and asked in a deep voice: "Steward Wu, where is my father?"
"The master and the heads of the Zhang family and the Meng family went to the study."
Butler Wu replied.
Wu Bi stepped forward and lifted the white cloth covering the stretcher on the left side.
Meng Zhi's eyes widened, and his face was ferocious with unwillingness. His left arm was twisted and deformed, and the clothes on his chest had been removed, revealing his chest with sunken ribs.
Wu Bi couldn't help but change his expression when he looked at Meng Zhi's chest and the slightly bent stainless steel short gun beside him.
"It seems that he used a short spear to block, but failed to block it. He broke his left arm with great force, broke his ribs, and ruptured his internal organs and died. This kind of power can only be strength!"
Wu Bi looked at Meng Zhi's death and used his experience to roughly guess what Meng Zhi looked like before his death.
"Hi~!"
"What a terrifying palm power?!"
Wu Bi lifted up the white cloth on the stretcher on the right and took a deep breath. It wasn't because of Zhang Tianwen's tragic death, but because of the palm print on Tianling's cover.
A martial arts master who ignores the rules and has no moral ethics will be a disaster for Black Rock City.
Even he wouldn't be able to say that he would be fine if he was attacked by a martial arts master.
"The only people in the nearby generation who have such terrifying palm power are the head of the Li family, Li Fenglei, and the head of the Chen Family Fort, Chen Xuan. But they should not take action against these two people..."
Wu Bi covered the white cloth again with a solemn expression.
"Wu Laoer, if you don't give our Meng family a satisfactory explanation, I'm not done with you! Then don't blame me for not following the rules!"
A muscular old man with tangled muscles walked out of the backyard, waved angrily at the Meng family disciples in the courtyard, and strode out of the Wu residence.
This person is Meng Jue, the martial arts master of the Meng family, otherwise most people would not dare to call Wu Di that way.
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man with a big belly and a paunchy dress came out, looking a little depressed. It was the head of the Zhang family who wanted to have both.
The eldest son is dead, and the second son has just broken through to the blood training realm. Today is only the fifth day, and he was killed for no apparent reason.
The other children's qualifications are not good, and they will not be able to reach the blood training realm even if it takes another twenty years. I'm afraid they won't have time to train any more children.
Why is this happening?
After the children of the Zhang family and the Meng family left, Wu Bi rushed to the study.
...
The next day, Han Zhao got up early as usual to practice health-preserving techniques and then exercised.
"It's almost done." After counting the time, Han Zhao left home and rushed towards Yijiangfang.
As soon as I entered the gate of the martial arts hall, I saw the apprentices gathered together in the outer courtyard. It was noisy and no one was practicing martial arts at all.
The lounge chair was placed on the corridor between the inner and outer courtyards as usual, and there was a large handful of melon seeds on the wooden shelf next to it, but Lu Yiren was not there.
"Have you heard? Senior Brother Zhang is dead! And that Meng Zhi!"
"Fuck! You don't know, Senior Brother Zhang's head was blown off!"
"It's too scary! It seems like it was done by a martial arts master, killing him with one move!"
"I know. I heard that Senior Brother Zhang and Meng Zhi were caught red-handed committing adultery with a concubine who was a martial arts master."
"Let me tell you - it's so damn good!"
"That's right, your eyes usually reach to the sky, you deserve it!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, Senior Brother Zhang..."
Han Zhao stepped forward, and several apprentices who usually had a good relationship with him walked up.
"Senior Brother Han, have you heard? Senior Brother Zhang is dead!"
"What? Zhang Tianwen is dead?!" Han Zhao looked shocked, but there was no hint of sadness.
He has a normal relationship with Zhang Tianwen, and most of the apprentices in the martial arts school know about it.
Among the apprentices in the field, some were indifferent, some were crying like cats and mice, and some were secretly happy.
After a while, several government officials came to the martial arts hall and said loudly:
"Han Zhao, Zhu Kang, Si Jing, and Gou Chengli, are these four people here?"
"I'm Han Zhao." Han Zhao stepped forward.
Three other people also walked out of the crowd.
"Come with us to the county government office for routine inquiries." The government officer nodded and motioned for the four of them to leave with them.
Han Zhao and others came to the county government's inner courtyard, where Lu Yi was sitting on a chair in the courtyard.
"Master Lu." Han Zhao and the other four stepped forward to salute.
"Yeah." Lu Yi nodded, "Don't be nervous, just go in and tell the truth."
"Yes." Four people responded at the same time.
Soon, Xu Ling, Su Yun, and Li Fei walked out of the study.
Then it was Han Zhao and others' turn.
After the four people entered, they saw a middle-aged man with a mustache sitting in an armchair. His appearance was ordinary, even a bit wretched. His height was estimated to be less than 1.7 meters, and his figure was not that big. Not strong.
[Wu Di - After practicing the strength, the strength covers the whole body and begins to integrate into the five internal organs, which is in the stage of rapid improvement. 】
Based on the stereotype alone, he looks like a shrewd businessman, or a master who advises the county magistrate, rather than the number one expert in Black Rock City.
"Come one by one."
Wu Di's energetic voice sounded, and he stretched out his hand to point out one of them.
Soon, after the three people in front finished asking, Wu Di waved his hand and motioned for them to go out first.
When the three of them left, Wu Di said, "Are you Han Zhao?"
"This junior is Han Zhao." Han Zhao clasped his fists.
"You are very good." Wu Di suddenly said without any clue.
Han Zhao looked confused.
"An adult has asked me to take care of you."
Wu Di hinted.
Han Zhao's heart trembled, but he immediately relaxed.
With the strength of the Ji family, this is nothing.
Moreover, the strength he showed in front of Ji Zhuling was only at the level of ordinary blood training, so she probably didn't even bother to mention it.
"Thank you." Seeing his attitude, Han Zhao didn't make it clear.
"Go." Wu Di smiled gently and signaled that he could go.
"Junior, take your leave."
...
After leaving the county government office, Han Zhao went home directly.
He checked the system panel as he walked.
[Collect 40 reminder fragments to synthesize the entry? 】
[Synthesized once, it consumes 40 reminder fragments and 30 taels of gold. 】
The entry effect of [Late Bloomer] first takes effect when he is twenty, and he will turn twenty in three months.
If his qualifications were doubled, then at least he would no longer be a lowly piece of garbage.
If there is a level close to the medium level, it will be much better in the simulation, otherwise it will be useless even if you die.
Moreover, the Vajra Art can also enhance the root bones.
Theoretically speaking, his ability to improve the day after tomorrow should also be regarded as basic qualifications, right?
As long as the Vajra Technique can raise the root bone to an average level, if it is doubled, it should be at an average or upper level no matter what.
He is satisfied with the average level of genius.
After all, no matter how good you are, you still have to rely on your own 'efforts'.
"After killing Zhang Tianwen and Meng Zhi, there is still half a year of buffer time, so there is no need to rush to kill Qi Xing."
"Add some more first!"
