Chapter 38: Chapter 35: The Secret of the Wei Family_1
"Someone’s here, a Limit Breaking Warrior with considerable cultivation."
Lu Yan woke up from his sleep.
The breathing of a Limit Breaking Warrior is distinct from that of an ordinary person, easily recognizable.
"Is it because of the Dried Martial Food?"
Lu Yan wondered.
He had just bought a hundred jin of Dried Martial Food during the day, and at night he was visited by a Limit Breaking Warrior. It wasn’t likely to be a coincidence - it had to be because of the Dried Martial Food.
But how did they find him here when he had changed his path several times on the way here and made sure he wasn’t being followed?
Without having time for further thought, he quickly got up, came into the living room, and hid behind it.
Creak!
The door of the hall was pushed open, two shadows observed for a moment, then quietly entered the hall.
Whoosh!
A handful of chili powder came at them, scattered on their faces.
"My eyes."
"Ah..."
Both men screamed.
Bang!
Lu Yan delivered a punch and hit the triangular-eyed man in the chest. The triangular-eyed man’s chest was punctured, his body flew back several meters, and he lost his breath.
Before Lu Yan could deal with the other man, the man’s palms came at him like a whirlwind.
This man’s cultivation was not weak, he had reached the Fourth Breakthrough.
Wo Ye Double Evil, one was at the Fourth Breakthrough, the other at the Third.
The triangular-eyed man, who was at the Third Breakthrough, had been killed by Lu Yan with a single punch.
The other man was decisive, although his eyes were stinging from the chili powder and he couldn’t open them, he attacked by listening for the sounds.
"Fu Sheng, why aren’t you taking action?"
At the same time as he attacked, the man growled lowly.
"Damn it."
Fu Sheng cursed under his breath. Originally, he had planned to retreat.
However, now that his name had been called out, there was no way back. He had no choice but to fight and kill Lu Yan.
Otherwise, as long as Lu Yan went to ask the Linglan Chamber of Commerce, his identity would be exposed.
For killing a major client of the Linglan Chamber of Commerce behind their back, the Chamber would certainly not let him go.
Fu Sheng drew his war knife, took a step forward, and slashed at Lu Yan.
The knife light was like a weaving shuttle, slicing through the night sky with unmatched speed.
Lu Yan dared not block straight on, he swiftly avoided it and quickly struck out with three palms.
The Wo Ye One Evil was blind and couldn’t see anything, how could he defend against Lu Yan’s attack in his confusion? He was struck in the abdomen by a palm, stumbled backwards, and sat on the floor in the living room, coughing up large amounts of blood.
Whoosh!
The cold light of the knife cut towards Lu Yan’s neck.
But Lu Yan was faster. His left hand was like a knife, and it struck the knife’s blade.
The war knife vibrated, and the immense power made Fu Sheng’s arm numb. He could barely hold the war knife, and his figure also retreated several steps.
Then, he turned and left.
After only two moves, he already knew that with his Fourth Breakthrough cultivation level, he was not a match for Lu Yan. If he continued the fight, he would surely die.
"Yan’er, Yan’er, what happened?"
Lu Qingshan and Wang Cui were also awakened, and called out in concern.
"Father, mother, stay inside."
Lu Yan answered, but his figure didn’t stop. He propelled with his legs like a gust of wind to chase after Fu Sheng, and struck out with a palm.
Seeing his slower speed, Fu Sheng hastily spun around and slashed ferociously with his knife.
However, though his knife technique was decent and belonged to a second-rate martial art, he had only trained to the extent of mastery, which was far behind Lu Yan.
Though his knife was fast, it was easily avoided by Lu Yan. Lu Yan seized the opportunity, striking several palms against the blade of the knife. The huge force finally made Fu Sheng lose his grip on the war knife, which flew out of his hand.
Following that, Lu Yan hit Fu Sheng square in the chest with a palm, causing him to vomit a large amount of blood and fall to the ground, unable to continue the fight.
It was only because Lu Yan held back that Fu Sheng was not killed by this palm.
Crack!
Lu Yan walked ahead, snapped Fu Sheng’s foot with a stomp, making Fu Sheng sweat profusely from the pain.
"Speak, Who are you?"
Lu Yan coldly demanded.
"If I tell you, will you spare my life?"
Fu Sheng cracked a bitter smile.
"You seem to be an old hand, why ask such a thing."
Lu Yan responded.
"All right, I’ll tell you. I work for the Linglan Chamber of Commerce. I was sent by the Chief Manager of the Linglan Chamber of Commerce. I’m sure you know that the Wei Family of Jun City, a master-level feudal lord, is behind the Linglan Chamber of Commerce. If you kill me, the Chief Manager will never let you off."
Proposed Fu Sheng.
Since his identity has already been exposed, it’s impossible for him to return to Linglan Chamber of Commerce.
It’s better to use Linglan Chamber of Commerce to intimidate Lu Yan and refrain him from killing.
As long as he can survive this ordeal, he will immediately flee with his family.
This time, he’s gotten into serious trouble. He never thought that a teenage Red-clad Guard could possess such terrifying power.
He, a fourth-time limit breaker and an almost qi-blood overflowing expert, has no way to fight back.
Lu Yan frowns.
If it’s true that the Chief Manager of the Linglan Chamber of Commerce has sent him, he must be cautious.
"Don’t try to deceive me. A dignified master-level feudal lord’s Chamber of Commerce and a Chief Manager who holds down one place, would they send someone to kill and rob because of my 100 catties of Martial Food? If so, the Linglan Chamber of Commerce would have been long closed."
Said Lu Yan coldly.
"Believe it or not."
Fu Sheng showed his fearless look.
At this moment, he can only insist that the Chief Manager of Linglan Chamber of Commerce sent him for the sake of survival.
"There’s one more person who hasn’t died. I will go and interrogate him alone. If you lied to me, I will make your death miserable."
Lu Yan said coldly. He then took out a piece of cloth, stuffed it in Fu Sheng’s mouth, dragged him into the practice room, and tied him up with a hemp rope.
After arranging everything, Lu Yan went into the living room and knocked on the doors of Lu Qingshan and Wang Cui.
The couple, like ants on a hot pan, were pacing back and forth in the room.
If it weren’t for Lu Qingshan’s advice, Wang Cui would have rushed out long ago. She would not only be of no help to Lu Yan, but would also distract him.
"Yan’er, are you okay?"
Wang Cui looked at Lu Yan from head to toe to see if he had been injured. Lu Qingshan was also puzzled.
"Dad, mom, I’m fine. Some thieves came, and I have repelled them. I’ll handle it. You can continue to rest and don’t need to go out."
Lu Yan comforted them.
Upon hearing that the problem had been handled, the old couple was relieved. But they couldn’t continue to sleep.
After consoling his parents, Lu Yan returned to the living room, closed the door, sat quietly in the room, and started waiting.
As for interrogation, it was impossible, because the other Wo Ye One Evil had been killed by Lu Yan’s full strength strike to the abdomen.
What he had just said about interrogation was meant to deceive Fu Sheng.
About half an hour later, Lu Yan returned to the training room with a profound gloom on his face, ripped the cloth from Fu Sheng’s mouth, and said coldly, "The man has confessed everything. He was not sent by the Chief Manager of the Linglan Chamber of Commerce at all. It was your greed that led you to act on your own. You were trying to deceive me. You’re courting death."
After finishing his sentence, Lu Yan raised his palm as if to cut down.
"Wait, wait a minute, don’t kill me. Yes, it was a lie. I acted on my own. But I have a secret. A secret about the life and death of the Liu Family!."
Fu Sheng cried out, panic-stricken and no longer confident.
Indeed!
Lu Yan sighed in relief.
He had suspected it was unlikely the Chief Manager of the Linglan Chamber of Commerce had sent these men, but unlikely was not the same as impossible.
He didn’t dare to gamble, so he decided to deceive Fu Sheng. Unexpectedly, Fu Sheng confessed directly.
"A secret concerning the life and death of the Liu Family? Let’s hear it."
Said Lu Yan, now intrigued by this.
After all, he worked as a Red-clad Guard under the Liu Family. A matter of life and death involving the Liu Family was bound to impact the Red-clad Guards.
"You promise not to kill me first, and then I will tell you."
Said Fu Sheng.
"You’re not in a position to bargain with me."
Lu Yan’s eyes were icy and full of killing intent. He raised his hand, preparing to chop down.
"It’s the Wei Family! The Wei Family is plotting to eliminate the two major feudal lords of Changfeng City."
Fu Sheng hurriedly said.
"When are they going to make a move?"
Lu Yan’s heart trembled. He tried to hide his startling revelation with a calm question.
"I’m not sure. I’m just a Deputy Captain of a caravan guard. I found out about it by accident. All I know is that the Wei Family has already started making arrangements."
"Please, don’t kill me. I have a family..."
Pu!
Lu Yan struck with his palm, breaking Fu Sheng’s neck, thereby ending his life.
"How naïve, or is it just fear of death? Under these circumstances, still wanting to survive, is it possible?"
Murmured Lu Yan. After searching the bodies of the three for a while, he found nothing.
"Right, I was interrupted by the secret earlier and forgot to ask how they found me."
Lu Yan slapped his thigh, regretting greatly.
He originally planned to ask, but the sudden revelation of the Wei Family’s secret had thrown him off balance.
He got so excited that he forgot to ask.
