You Promised to Be an Idle Son-in-Law, How Could You Become a Land Immortal?

Chapter 395: Chapter 251: How Dare You Kill Me?

’If that’s the case, the Xiao Family... will have a chance to rise...’

Considering the worst-case scenario gave even the ever-confident General a headache.

"How dare Liu Wu... interfere with the White Tiger Guard’s affairs. Hmph!"

Not far from the General, Xiao Jing, dressed in a green robe with a bamboo hat, also followed the crowd.

He, too, had guessed that the mysterious spearman was the one who had helped the Xiao Family before.

However, he was unaware of Liu Wu’s true strength.

Now that he knew the man possessed Spear Dao at the Perfection Realm, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of secret joy.

Even without knowing the man’s true identity, he was filled with joy.

’If the Master finds out that such an expert is helping the Xiao Family, he’ll surely be very happy too.’

Lost in their own thoughts, the crowd soon reached Heiyu Lane.

Fang Hongxiu frowned as she looked at the bodies littering the ground, her gaze lingering on the emaciated beggars.

’Did Liu Wu kill all these people?’

However, after a quick scan of the area, her expression relaxed slightly.

’These people were likely killed by silver needles. This probably wasn’t Liu Wu’s doing.’

Fang Hongxiu certainly had her grievances with Liu Wu, but they had also just recently worked together.

She really didn’t want him to be such a cruel and ruthless person.

Just then, the middle-aged man in the black, fish-patterned robe standing before her spoke.

"Hundred Households Fang, take your people and see if there are any survivors left around."

"Yes, Lord Thousand Households."

Fang Hongxiu waved her hand and led several Imprisonment Officers to quickly investigate the surroundings.

Her heart leaped in shock when she saw the collapsed ruins in the distance.

’This is the result of Liu Wu using his full power?’

At that moment, the last trace of resentment Fang Hongxiu held for the humiliation she’d suffered at Chen Yi’s hands completely vanished.

For a powerful Wandering Martial Artist like him, just toying with them with some poison was nothing. If he had actually wanted to kill them, it probably would have taken only a single move.

At this thought, Fang Hongxiu’s gaze fell upon the distant West City Wall.

’Liu Wu... what exactly are you trying to do?’

’Are the people from Poshisu Country the problem, or is it those barbarian slaves...?’

Fang Hongxiu had no way of knowing. She only felt that Liu Wu was shrouded in a fog of mystery, impossible to see through.

While the Imprisonment Officers were investigating the area, the General, Xiao Jing, and the crowd of Wandering Martial Artists who had followed them also got a clear look at the situation.

Most of them drew in a sharp breath.

"Seeing it from a distance already scared the hell out of me. Now that I’m seeing it up close, it’s really... it’s..."

"Terrifying!"

"Still, it’s a good thing."

"Ever since the Barbarian Race army attacked Mengshui Pass five years ago, killing all the old masters in our Shu State, we haven’t produced any decent experts."

"Exactly. The appearance of a Spearman at the Perfection Realm now will definitely bring some stability to the Jianghu in Shu State."

"Right. The Mountain Race is strong, to be sure, but that old matriarch of theirs hardly ever gets involved in the affairs of the Jianghu."

The Jianghu and the Imperial Court are different.

Strength reigns supreme.

If there are no renowned masters with profound Cultivation and high Technique Realms to keep things in check, all sorts of monsters will inevitably crawl out of the woodwork.

The General listened and watched. After a moment’s thought, he silently slipped away, heading out of West City.

He was intensely curious about Liu Wu’s identity. He wouldn’t be able to eat or sleep in peace until he found out.

...

「Meanwhile.」

After leaving through the West City Gate with Liu Lang, Chen Yi took a long, roundabout path before slipping back into the city through the north gate.

However, he didn’t head for the residence on Chuansi Street. Instead, he snuck directly into the place where Liu Zhaoxue and Liu Wen had been staying.

After finding an empty room, Chen Yi ordered Liu Lang to stand guard at the door.

He, in turn, laid Lv Jiunan down flat and took several silver needles from his person.

Liu Lang glanced over, his face a mask of astonishment.

"Boss, you, you, what are you doing?"

"Isn’t it obvious? I’m saving him."

As he spoke, Chen Yi used his Controlling Needle with Qi technique, inserting the silver needles into the vital acupoints on Lv Jiunan’s body.

"I know that, of course, but—but why would you save him after you just killed him?"

"Killing him was an act for others to see."

"And saving him... that’s for..."
