The Martial Son-in-law

Zhang Chu knew Lyu Yifei's strength better than anyone else. Even if the magic weapon could greatly enhance Lyu Yifei's strength, Lyu Yifei could still be considered an outstanding fighter when it came to combat techniques. In a situation where he was unarmed, Zhang Chu was not confident that he could kill Lyu Yifei in an instant. In other words, the person who killed Lyu Yifei was at least at the Middle Period of Foundation Stage, or perhaps even at the Peak of Foundation Stage!    

How could there be such an expert in the mortal world?    

Could it be that the Secluded Sect had sent people to kill all the disciples of the Lu's Sect in order to investigate the Lu's Sect's wrongdoings?    

"How's the situation of the remaining Lu's Sect?" As Zhang Chu had too little information, he didn't dare to make any arbitrary decisions. He could only ask Chen Teng about the details.    

"The remnants of the Lu's Sect are scattered all over Dongzhou. They have basically returned to their old homes to hide their identities. " No one has tried to kill them. As for Lyu Ji, she was taking care of the funeral for Fourth Lyu. There was nothing unusual about it. "    

Zhang Chu became even more confused when he heard Chen Teng's reply.    

Could it be that the other party was simply trying to kill Lyu Yifei?    

The problem was, what was there that made Lyu Yifei worth making such a big fuss about? One should know that Lyu Yifei was the least utilitarian person in the entire Lu's Sect. Even Zhang Chu, the 'sworn enemy', had no interest in Lyu Yifei's life.    

Just as Zhang Chu was still puzzled, Chen Teng's voice sounded again.    

"Oh right, there's something strange about the scene."    

"Oh?"    

"According to Lee Qiang, when Lyu Yifei was discovered, he was weak and powerless..." Lee Qiang said.    

Weak and powerless? What was so strange about this? After all, it was a dead person...    

Wait!    

Zhang Chu's body trembled. He suddenly realized that something was not right.    

The Heavenly Mountain was located in the north, on the plateau. Not only was the air thin, but the temperature difference between day and night was huge. The sun might be especially fierce during the day, but it was extremely cold at night. The truck driver found Lyu Yifei's corpse at night. Logically speaking, Lyu Yifei's corpse should be extremely hard.    

There was only one explanation!    

The true qi in Lyu Yifei's body had been squeezed dry!    

According to Zhang Chu's knowledge, once the true qi in a cultivator's body was exhausted and the meridians in the dantian lost their vitality, their body would become abnormally 'relaxed'. And the result of being overly relaxed would first be that they would not be able to lift up even the slightest bit of strength. Their entire body would be extremely weak, as if they had suffered from osteopathic disease, and their body would naturally become weak as well.    

In other words, before Lyu Yifei was killed by the opponent, the true qi in his body had already been exhausted.    

However, when Zhang Chu asked Chen Teng about it, Chen Teng insisted that there were no traces of fighting on the scene. Lyu Yifei had been killed on his own.    

This proved a terrifying fact. Before Lyu Yifei died, the True Qi in his body had been exhausted, but there were no signs of fighting at the scene. This also proved that Lyu Yifei had not organized any decent attack.    

"Lu... Yi Fei's True Qi was sucked dry by the opponent, then he was killed..." Zhang Chu's eyes were filled with unprecedented fear.    

Not only Zhang Chu, but the people beside him were also stunned when they heard Zhang Chu's words.    

"His true qi was sucked dry? How is this possible?" Yuan Zhihong was shocked. "I've never heard of any martial arts in the world of cultivation that can absorb his true qi."    

"Could it be a magic weapon?" Zhao Tang thought about it and shook his head. "I don't think so. All magic weapons have been registered in the book. There is no magic weapon that can absorb the opponent's true qi."    

Zhang Chu's face turned pale.    

It did not matter what method the opponent used.    

What was important was that there was indeed a method in the cultivation world that could suck dry the other party's true qi for his own use. And this method would have an unprecedented impact on the entire cultivation world, and might even overturn the existing rules.    

Right at this moment, Zhao Tang lowered his head and said thoughtfully, "Could it be that Sky Mountain is also one of the Realm of Secret? After all, the Northern Plateau Domain of the three great Realm of Secret was extremely compatible with the environment of the Heavenly Mountain. Perhaps... Lyu Yifei met Ghost Cultivator. "    

Zhang Chu shook his head decisively." Impossible! There were few people in Realm of Secret. At least, no ordinary people would step foot into the Realm of Secret. It could not be explained by the fact that Lyu Yifei's truck driver had been found. What I'm most worried about right now is that the other party might not be targeting Lyu Yifei or the Lu's Sect. "    

What do you mean? " Zhao Tang had a puzzled look on his face.    

"If it was someone sent by the Secluded Sect, the Lu's Sect would be in trouble. Naturally, they will destroy the Lu's Sect. It's impossible for them to ignore Lyu Ba's coffin. " If it was me... We must drag Lyu Ba out of the coffin and whip his corpse." Zhang Chu's eyes were incomparably solemn." I suspect that the person who attacked wasn't someone from the Secluded Sect. It wasn't Ghost Cultivator either. It was very likely that the opponent was hunting high-level cultivators and absorbing their true qi. The reason why he wanted to improve his own strength was to break through to the Secluded Sect.    

"Breaking through to the Secluded Sect? What proof do you have?" Yuan Zhihong asked.    

Zhang Chu shook his head. "No proof. However, the absorption of true qi was too shocking. Once it happened, it would definitely cause a huge commotion. The opponent had specifically chosen this time to attack. This indirectly proved that the opponent did not hesitate to expose his own strength in order to achieve a certain goal. "Besides breaking through to the Secluded Sect, I can't think of any other possibility."    

"I even suspect... that this assassin is a native of Dongzhou."    

"A local?" Yuan Zhihong and Zhao Tang exclaimed at the same time.    

Zhang Chu's eyes were cold. "They knew that Lyu Yifei was alone, and they knew the exact location of Lyu Yifei. They sucked up all of Lyu Yifei's Qi and killed him. They didn't do anything unnecessary. There was no delay in the whole process. They must have been fully prepared. It couldn't have been a coincidence or an accident."    

"That makes sense." Zhao Tang rubbed his chin. His face was still a little blank. "A Middle Period of Foundation Stage or higher, and he has the terrifying ability to absorb true qi. Moreover, he is a native of Dongzhou. Who could he be? Old Yuan, among the cultivators of Dongzhou, is there anyone who hides their identity?"    

Yuan Zhihong shook his head decisively. "Dongzhou's cultivation world is only this big. As long as it is a cultivator, I know that there is no such thing as hiding one's name."    

Right at this moment, Zhang Chu asked in a cold voice, "How many Foundation Stage cultivators are there in the secular cultivation world?"    

Yuan Zhihong and Zhao Tang looked at each other and shook their heads.    

"That's hard to say." Yuan Zhihong said seriously, "On the surface, there are only a dozen Foundation Stage warriors. They are all scattered in other places, and are not under the control of the Dongzhou's cultivation world. As for the rest of them... There are no hidden powers of people more unknown. After all, this land was too big. "Dongzhou is only a very small part of it."    

Zhang Chu heaved a sigh of relief. "If the enemy is really a cultivator killer, they might not come to Dongzhou. Killing anyone is not killing them."
