Chapter 56 Zheng Family's Actions
The sky was vast and clear as water.
"The Zheng family, the Zheng family!"
While flying through the air, Daoist Changyang suddenly opened his eyes, took several times the amount of pills, and finally managed to recover some of his injuries.
After decades of cultivation, this was the first time he had suffered such a great loss.
Refiners hold a high status and are treated well wherever they go. He was willing to stay at the Zheng family's residence because he was giving them face.
You should know that in the Great Zhao Kingdom, even if those families begged him to let him have sex with their women, he might not be willing.
Who would have thought that the entire Zheng family was ruthless and that everyone was a master of swordsmanship?
Having come to the Zheng family, they had to leave something behind, otherwise they would never be satisfied. To this day, the people of the Zheng family feel that since Daoist Changyang is staying at the Zheng family, it is only right that he should make additional magical artifacts for them.
"Fortunately, Lu Qingyun of the Yunxia Sect entrusted me with the task of forging the flying shuttle, and I had some surplus materials, allowing me to forge an extra one. Otherwise, it might have really fallen into the hands of the Zheng family!"
The Taoist Changyang sighed with emotion.
The shuttle in his hand was several times faster than Lu Qingyun's, and it was powered by several high-grade magic artifact core fragments that he had shattered.
The ruthless old man could only watch helplessly as the man fled.
Having lived in the Great Zhao Kingdom for decades, Daoist Changyang has always adhered to the principles of being kind to others and making do with what he can.
As long as he can enjoy himself and have sex with beautiful women every day, he won't offend anyone.
Therefore, he lived a very comfortable life, without ever being schemed against or having to engage in any power struggles.
Changyang Daoist crafted many defensive magical artifacts in the Great Zhao Kingdom, but due to his high reputation and lack of need to escape, he never crafted an escape artifact.
No one is a fool, and no one would kill him and ruin their own reputation just to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Now that I've reached Dade, I'm finally suffering the consequences of being schemed against.
Without this flying shuttle, his defensive magic artifacts would not have been able to withstand the cold, sinister old man who bullied the weak and set up an array.
The scenery behind us receded into the distance, and Pingyang Market had long since disappeared from sight.
Changyang Daoist gritted his teeth as he sketched on the paper.
They immediately set off to find Qingyang Daoist, whose cultivation was still above that of the cold old man and who was known as the number one rogue cultivator below the Foundation Establishment stage.
Qingyang Daoist was also in the Great Virtue Kingdom. He occupied the Qingyang Spiritual Vein with his own cultivation and established the Qingyang Market there.
At this point, Daoist Changyang hated the Zheng family to the extreme. However, ordinary forces would not be able to deal with the cold and sinister old man. Yunxia Sect had never cared about such matters, so Daoist Qingyang was the best choice.
The next moment, Daoist Changyang made a hand gesture, and the silver shuttle sped up even more, heading towards Qingyang Market.
……
"Failed! Failed again! Zheng Tianxuan, you piece of trash! This time, the Zheng family is truly finished!"
The cold, old man slapped Zheng Tianxuan across the face, and the remaining late-stage Qi Refining cultivators of the Zheng family all shut their mouths and dared not speak.
Especially the third son of the Zheng family, as the culprit who made Changyang Daoist escape so easily, is now in the most awkward position.
Although the cold old man didn't kill him with a single slap, judging from his expression, he was likely to suffer a lot.
"Grandpa, it's my fault."
Zheng Tianxuan's eyes were sinister as he covered his face and whispered.
Even if he felt resentment and thought it wasn't his fault, he didn't dare to talk back.
"It was my fault for not planning well, and that bastard Changyang escaped."
"Yes, it's all Tianxuan's fault. If he hadn't misjudged Changyang's methods, how could we have failed to capture him?"
"The third brother is right. If we had found a better formation back then, Changyang would not have been able to escape."
"If Tianxuan joins us in this ambush to kill Changyang, how could we fail to achieve anything?"
"Bastard! Bastard!"
The cold, old man's lips trembled as he looked at the Zheng family members, each trying to shift blame, and at Zheng Tianxuan, who seemed ready to devour anyone at any moment, completely oblivious to his own problems.
Although the Zheng family has always been ruthless, they are still considered to be on the right path.
After Changyang Daoist auctioned off his spot at Chunying Pavilion, Zheng Tianxuan approached him and told him that Changyang already harbored resentment towards the Zheng family and was planning to use tricks in the crafting of magical artifacts.
He repeatedly spoke of Changyang's wealth and the benefits of robbing and killing him.
Tell him that he has made all the necessary preparations and that once Changyang leaves the market, the Zheng family will be able to capture him.
At that time, they will not only gain a top-grade weapon refiner to serve the Zheng family, but also the wealth accumulated by Changyang over decades.
The cold old man was eventually tempted. The old ghost of the Bai family didn't have much time left, and there would inevitably be a battle between Bai and Zheng. If they could capture Changyang, they would naturally gain an overwhelming advantage over the Bai family.
However, it wasn't until the assassination attempt failed and Changyang escaped that the cold-blooded old man suddenly realized his mistake and regretted his actions.
The Zheng family should never have attacked Changyang in the first place. As a veteran weapon refiner at the ninth level of Qi Refining, even if Changyang Daoist was not good at fighting, how could he not have a way to escape?
Zheng Tianxuan's journey has clearly deviated from the righteous path and entered the demonic path. They could have originally tried to keep Changyang Daoist in Pingyang Market and used the Zheng family's power to get him to cooperate with them.
Why bother with robbery and murder?
No, it should be said that ever since I met Zheng Tianxuan a few months ago, I seem to have been vaguely bewitched by this good grandson.
The cold-faced old man narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed intently on Zheng Tianxuan.
The Zheng family members all looked at Zheng Tianxuan with schadenfreude.
"Tianxuan, do you still have connections with the Qingchi Demonic Sect?"
The cold, old man spoke slowly and deliberately, staring intently into Zheng Tianxuan's eyes.
"Grandpa, you told me not to associate with the Demonic Sect, how could I dare..."
Zheng Tianxuan was suddenly startled.
He looked up, cold sweat pouring down his face.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
"You may all leave now. I have something to say to Tianxuan."
The cold old man uttered three "good"s in a row, and his aura suddenly turned icy, causing the Zheng family members to retreat.
The Zheng family members wiped the cold sweat from their brows. Although they were still worried about being punished by the sinister old man, it seemed that they had passed this hurdle.
They even felt a bit schadenfreude towards Zheng Tianxuan, who took the blame for the others.
Although Zheng Tianxuan was the eldest son of the eldest son's family, he was an orphan who lost his father at a young age and was raised by a cold and gloomy old man.
If Zheng Tianxuan is eliminated, they will no longer have to worry about not getting a share of the Zheng family's assets.
A moment later.
At the summit of Pingyang Mountain, in the Zheng family cave, only the cold, old man and Zheng Tianxuan remained, speaking in hushed tones.
……
Lingtian, Pingyang.
Lu Qingyun sat cross-legged, while Bai Yuechan sat opposite him, her clothes gradually falling off to reveal her fair skin.
"My family and the Zheng family are now at war again. Brother Lu, you should be careful."
"I know, but you know my personality, why would I take any risks?"
Lu Qingyun smiled slightly and embraced Bai Yuechan.
Bai Yuechan's worries were unnecessary; he had no plans to leave Lingtian for the next few years.
News of the abduction and murder of Changyang Daoist spread throughout the city.
The Zheng family has not responded to this.
In just a few days, numerous cultivators appeared outside the market.
He had been reluctant to leave the market town before, and now he is even more so.
