"Precious bow, you have been in my hands for nearly two years. Today you can finally show your prowess."
High up in the tower, Lu Qing gently stroked the longbow in his hand, recalling the circumstances under which he had acquired this precious bow.
This longbow was not forged by him, but was discovered by Xiao Li two years ago when they went into the mountains to collect herbs.
The location where he discovered it was near the nameless valley where he and Wei Shanhai had sparred the day before.
Later he learned that this precious bow should belong to Tong Canglang, a disciple of Wang Cangyi who had chased after Ma Gu.
In order to quickly catch up with Ma Gu, Tong Canglang had to temporarily hide the precious bow that was hindering his speed in a tree.
He had planned to kill Magu and then retrieve the precious bow, but unexpectedly, he was killed by Lu Qing.
The whereabouts of the precious bow were never known again.
If it weren't for Xiao Li's magical intuition, when she and Lu Qing accidentally passed by that forest while gathering herbs in the mountains and discovered this longbow...
I'm afraid it will be corroded and damaged by rainwater in another two years.
After obtaining the longbow, Lu Qing used his special ability to examine it and discovered that it was actually a rare and precious bow.
The main body is made entirely of materials from a mythical beast called the White Horned Bull.
Its quality, when examined by supernatural abilities, was extremely rich in red light, yet it also contained a trace of gold, faintly exhibiting the characteristics of a divine weapon.
To avoid wasting such a precious bow, Lu Qing asked the Wei family to provide him with several archery manuals for practice.
Then, with the help of his supernatural abilities, he successfully mastered those secret manuals and cultivated his archery skills to the level of a grandmaster.
Later, after comprehending the realm of 【intention】, his archery skills also advanced further, and he also comprehended the intention of archery.
"Old woman, you want that scumbag Zheng Yu to enjoy the worship of thousands? It's not that easy."
"Isn't this just a strategy to destroy someone's spirit? You're not the only one who knows this trick."
Looking at the Zheng residence a few hundred meters away, Lu Qing's gaze sharpened.
Then he took a light breath, and the divine soul talisman in his brow acupoint stirred slightly, suppressing all the emotions in his mind and bringing his mind to a state of clarity.
Then he took out a precious arrow that he had personally forged, made primarily of refined iron, from his Qiankun Qi Bag.
The bow is drawn, the arrow nocked, the bowstring taut, ready to be released.
Lu Qing's blood and qi surged and roared, like a furnace, containing incomparably powerful energy.
However, all these fluctuations in energy were easily concealed by the divine soul talisman, and did not attract anyone's attention.
Everything was ready, but Lu Qing still didn't immediately let go.
Instead, he closed his eyes slightly, emptied his mind, and sensed the direction of the surrounding airflow.
After sensing for a few breaths, suddenly, his eyes snapped open, a sharp glint in them, as he looked toward the Zheng residence ahead.
The next moment, his blood and energy surged, and his fingers loosened.
With a loud bang, the air in front of Lu Qing exploded, and in a flash, the arrow disappeared from the bow.
boom!
Almost at the same time, a loud bang came from the mourning hall of the Zheng family.
Accompanying this were bursts of exclamations and screams.
Only then did a long stream of white mist appear in front of Lu Qing, connecting the space between him and the Zheng residence, and slowly dissipate.
"What's that noise!"
The old lady of the Zheng family, who was originally talking with the chief steward of the city lord's mansion in the garden, was greatly shocked when she heard the loud noise coming from the mourning hall.
No longer caring about Steward Wang, he unleashed his power and arrived at the mourning hall in the blink of an eye.
However, what she saw before her eyes made her almost unable to believe her own eyes.
The mourning hall, which had been in good condition just moments before, was now a complete mess and utter chaos.
Most importantly, the luxurious coffin where Yu'er was placed had been blown to pieces, and the corpse inside had also been blasted to pieces, leaving no trace of the remains.
Looking at the coffin shattered on the ground, the old woman from the Zheng family felt a wave of dizziness, her body swayed slightly, and she almost lost her balance.
When Steward Wang arrived, he was equally astonished by what he saw.
I don't understand why the mourning hall has become like this after he and the Zheng family patriarch have been gone for so long.
"Who did this?!"
Fortunately, the old woman from the Zheng family was a powerful expert at the Innate Realm. With a strong will and surging mental energy, she managed to stabilize herself.
At the same time, an endless chill erupted from her body.
His gaze was icy cold, as if he wanted to devour someone.
"Ancestor, we don't know either! Young Master Yu's coffin suddenly exploded!"
A guard, his face contorted in grief, clutched his arm and shouted.
He was one of the guards responsible for protecting the coffin. When the coffin exploded, he was unable to dodge in time and was hit on the arm by a wooden plank.
But by then, he no longer cared about his arm.
As a guard, he didn't even know how Young Master Yu's coffin had been damaged.
He already had a premonition of his fate.
Remembering the fate of those colleagues who failed to protect Young Master Yu, the guard felt an overwhelming sense of fear.
Sure enough, when the old woman saw that he didn't even know how the coffin had broken, her gaze turned icy.
"Mother, someone is attacking from a distance with a bow and arrow, look!"
Just then, the figure of the Zheng family head emerged from behind the mourning hall and said in a deep voice.
At the same time, he handed a long arrow to the old woman.
"Just now, this thousand-times-forged arrow flew in from outside the mansion, hitting Yu'er's coffin squarely. After destroying the coffin and Yu'er's body, it was nailed to the back of the mourning hall."
The Zheng family head's tone was filled with shock.
He found it hard to imagine what kind of archery skill could produce such powerful arrows that could shatter the sturdy coffin from such a distance.
If this arrow had not been aimed at Zheng Yu's coffin, but at someone in the mansion, probably no one except the patriarch would have been able to withstand it.
"They used a bow and arrow, which means the person is still in the city?"
However, the old woman's focus was completely different from that of the Zheng family head.
Upon seeing the long arrow handed to her by her son, a murderous glint appeared in her eyes, and her aura exploded as she immediately disappeared from the mourning hall.
A moment later, she appeared on the highest roof of the mansion, her gaze sweeping in all directions.
Soon, she saw wisps of white mist in the sky, about to disappear completely.
Following the direction of the white mist, she immediately spotted the figure standing atop the tower.
"It's you!"
Looking at the longbow in the figure's hand, the old woman knew perfectly well that this was the person who had destroyed her Yu'er's coffin and body.
Seeing that the old woman had noticed him, Lu Qing grinned.
"You old hag, didn't you try every means to lure me out? Now I'm standing right in front of you, what can you do to me?"
"You want to use the method of human sacrifice to bury your grandson alive, and have thousands of people worship him and pray for his blessings?"
"I will now completely destroy his body, so that he will never be reincarnated. What can you do about it?"
"You little beast! You're asking for death! I swear I won't be a human being if I don't kill you today!"
Upon hearing Lu Qing's probing question, the old woman from the Zheng family was furious and screamed wildly.
