Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 616 Jade King
"At this point, I suddenly realized and finally understood the conversation between the king and his advisor."

"The basic fairness of laws, even if they do not need to be absolute, is the foundation of a country. If this foundation is shaken, the people will lose their trust in those in power, and the entire country will lose its fighting strength."

"If some people no longer uphold our justice, then we have no choice but to take up arms and defend ourselves."

"When some people shirk their responsibilities and take charge of themselves, it also means that they relinquish the legitimacy of their authority."

"It also means that new people will inevitably choose to take on responsibility and thus gain power."

"Like those who created the world."

“I know some people are gloating and think it’s none of their business, but when this injustice expands, everyone will be indiscriminately involved. This has been repeated throughout history.”

"No one can escape, regardless of age or gender."

"I still believe in the collective, and I still believe in the Martial Academy, but I can no longer trust the vast majority of people in it."

"However, I suddenly realized that there seems to be a group, at least for now, that I can trust."

"Huang Meng School".

After Lu Yuanhao finished speaking, he picked up a sharp knife, dipped it in blood, and was about to write on the wall when the living room door clicked open.

At the same time, a voice came: "Mom, I'm back. I've been released from medical treatment. Everyone was helping me, all of them were helping me. They're all members of the Demonic Cult. Haha, what can they do to me..."

In the video, Lü Yuanhao paused for a moment, and then an indescribable expression appeared on his face.

It seemed like joy, sorrow, pain, hatred, and helplessness.

He stood up, took a step, and dashed out of the camera's range.

"Ah... I was wrong, I'm guilty, I'll never do it again..." The person confessed quickly after screaming, as if he knew exactly what he had done.

Lu Yuanhao reappeared in the shot, grabbing someone by the hair and pressing them down onto the coffee table in front of the sofa, like a butcher pressing a live pig onto a chopping board.

"Tell me who the members of the Demon Worship Cult are, and I'll let you go."

The man struggled desperately, but his mouth was sealed shut by an invisible force, and he could only make muffled noises, unable to speak.

She signed a demonic pact, which cannot be revealed.

Lu Yuanhao did not ask any further questions.

Because everyone knows the answer.

Lu Yuanhao looked at the distorted face, raised the sharp knife, and stabbed it again and again.

Puff puff……

Interspersed with screams.

Once the dying man's cries ceased, Lü Yuanhao brought down his blade.

Two heads, placed side by side.

He dipped his knife in blood, stepped onto the sofa, and wrote three bloody words on the white wall.

Huang Meng School.

Lu Yuanhao turned around, grabbed the two men by the hair, wiped the blades clean, and put them away.

He took a step, stopped, and turned to look at the camera.

"If possible, buy me a cake, fresh out of the oven, white and fragrant, and eat it for me so it won't go to waste."

After he finished speaking, Lü Yuanhao moved closer to the camera, and the video cut off.

Feng Wenhao continued to reply below.

"This is amazing!"

"Lu Yuanhao is amazing! No wonder he was the senior student of Heyin Martial Arts University back then!"

"These past few days, cakes have sold out all over the country, and people in cake shops are working like crazy, just like the hamburger shops back in the day."

"Haha, deleting the video is useless, everyone already knows."

"By the way, I saw a screenshot of a survey that cracked me up. I'll send it to you."

A screenshot is attached below.

The screenshots show two different online polls.

The title of the first survey is: Slanderers vs. Zhou Leng. Please choose whether you support the slanderers or Zhou Leng.

The survey data bar below shows that 17.2% of respondents support the slanderers, while 82.8% support Zhou Leng.

The title of the second survey is: Slanderers against the Zhao family. Suppose the slanderers slander the Zhao family, who do you support?

Of the tens of thousands of votes cast, 97.3% supported the slanderers, while only 2.7% supported the Zhao family.

At the very bottom of the screenshot, there is a sentence printed on it.

"The vast majority of people know where evil originates."

Zhou Leng remained silent for a long time, then used his telepathic mouse to click on the second survey in the screenshot.

Although it's just a screenshot.

Zhou Leng sent a message to Xu Qingjin.

"I'm coming back today. Order a cake, fresh out of the oven, white and fragrant."

"it is good!"

Zhou Leng then went to the Heavenly Rank Battlefield group to check the messages.

Several groups have been banned.

Countless people in those groups that weren't banned sent pictures of birthday cakes.

"Cake King is awesome!"

"Cake King is invincible!" "Those of us from the Heavenly Rank Battlefield are all outstanding!"

Zhou Leng, a seasoned internet user, immediately recognized that Lü Yuanhao's name was marked as a prohibited word. While it could be mentioned in private chats and then the user would be monitored, it was completely banned in group chats and on public websites.

I checked other forums like Wuhu, and sure enough, searching for "Lv Yuanhao" and similar terms showed no results.

A search for "cake" brought up a question: "Are cakes these days safe to eat?"

The replies were full of jokes about the Demonic Prison.

"A constable arrested a member of the Demon Worship Cult. A kind-hearted inspector said that a criminal record would affect the member's chances of getting into the Martial Academy, so he released him. The Demon Worship Cult member shouted, 'Long live humanity!' He then studied diligently, successfully entered the Martial Academy's Court of Justice, and was featured in the newspaper as a model of law. Later, the kind-hearted inspector's son was framed, and the Demon Worship Cult member who was in charge of the Court of Justice sentenced him to a heavy sentence. The kind-hearted inspector wanted to report the Demon Worship Cult member, but that same day, his entire family was wiped out by the Demon Worship Cult."

"A deity from a higher civilization descended and abducted a giant worm child, an orc child, a demon child, and a blue planet child, making them discuss the harm that fabricating evidence to disrupt the law and justice to society. As a result, the giant worm child did not understand what fabrication was, the orc child did not understand what the law was, the demon child did not understand what justice was, and the blue planet child did not understand what evidence was."

"When the members of the Three Judicial Divisions visited the Demon Prison, a high-ranking demon led them to a prison teeming with demons, producing a large amount of fabricated evidence and proudly explaining how he had forged evidence to frame these demons. The members of the Three Judicial Divisions seemed thoughtful. Years later, when the high-ranking demon visited Earth, the members of the Three Judicial Divisions led him to an overcrowded prison, proudly recounting their framing process. Finally, the high-ranking demon asked suspiciously: 'Where is the evidence you forged?'"

……

After reading the comments, Zhou Leng then looked at the other people's comments.

Wang Boxiong said he would find time to meet, have a meal, and chat.

The two agreed to have lunch together tomorrow.

That day, Zhou Leng returned to the Guhe Research Institute and ate cake with Xu Qingjin and other friends.

The next day at noon, I went with Wang Boxiong to a small restaurant with private rooms, where we ate and chatted.

"I heard you're doing quite well in that other world?"

"Okay."

"Now that I see you, should I call you 'Chief Palm'?" Wang Boxiong said half-jokingly.

"If you like it, I won't stop you."

Wang Boxiong's gaze turned cold, and he said, "After we finish eating, let's go to the wilderness for a sparring match."

Zhou Leng looked at Wang Boxiong carefully and said, "Two years from now, definitely."

"Two years? That's pretty arrogant, kid. It's settled then! Two years from now, it'll be the Grandmaster Island showdown between us."

“Then it’s settled!” Zhou Leng said.

Wang Boxiong smiled and said, "Do you have any extra beast bone powder? Our research has found that your beast bone powder greatly improves the advancement of the Innate Realm."

"Oh? So magical?"

"We suspect that your bone powder is either fresh or contains other powers, even more powerful than dragon bones, which is quite extraordinary."

Zhou Leng recalled that the bones of those ferocious beasts were indeed very fresh and had been placed near Senior Tree.

"Could you get another batch? It seems like you managed to get a batch from the Trump family of the Eagle Alliance," Wang Boxiong said casually.

Zhou Leng naturally understood what he meant. He stroked his chin and said, "I obtained my ferocious beast bones through the Ice and Snow Divine Sect. Last time was just a trial run. Now, the Ice and Snow Divine Sect wants to exchange them for Grandmaster or Martial Saint resources, nothing else."

"Can't we exchange it for money? The resources of Grandmasters and Martial Saints are too precious to be wasted."

"I think... the Church of Ice and Snow uses its high-level resources where they are truly needed."

The two looked at each other.

Wang Boxiong remained silent for a long time before nodding and saying, "Okay, I'll try my best to contact the higher-ups. However, it's impossible to satisfy all requests; there will likely be a certain percentage. If all else fails, we can buy from the Eagle Alliance at a higher price."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the price of resources such as ferocious beast bones will be extremely high in the future," Zhou Leng said.

Wang Boxiong frowned and said, "Ordinary people can't afford that. We can't supply it all to the powerful clans."

"I'll find a way, even if it costs me some money, to get the Ice and Snow Divine Sect to provide some resources to the disciples of the Ancient River Sect," Zhou Leng said.

The two ate their food in silence.

After a while, they resumed chatting.

After finishing his meal, Wang Boxiong said, "Today, I have two important things to tell you."

"The first thing is that Xue Chengsong was killed by the Demonic Cult of the Kangaroo Kingdom. On the surface, it was an accident. Also, the mines that Gao Tianlong seized from you were confiscated and then converted into private mines."

Zhou Leng's face visibly turned pale. Back then, he was penniless, and it was Xue Chengsong who hired him to study martial arts, earning him a large sum of money.

The magical watch I'd been using was a gift from him.

Unexpectedly, Xue Chengsong was murdered shortly after the demonized wristwatch was replaced.

Although Xue Tongming hesitated, Xue Chengsong had always treated him well. Later, they joined forces to run the mine, but unfortunately, it was taken away by Gao Tianlong.

After learning that the Jade King might contain true energy from the stars, taking back the mine became the primary objective of this return to Rucheng.

Now, it has been transferred to someone else and embezzled.

"The Zhao family made the move?" Zhou Leng took out a worn-out demonized wristwatch from his magic pouch and lightly ran his fingers across the screen.

Wang Boxiong said, "Xue Chengsong was killed by Gao Tianfeng's men to avenge his brother, and he killed many innocent people. Your mine has already produced several Spirit Mist Jade pieces, which have all been sent to the Zhao Palace. It is said that the Old Madam and Madam Zhao like them very much. Now, the Zhao Palace is waiting for the Jade King that the mine may produce, and Zhao Hao is personally watching over it. After all, it is said that the Jade King has the effect of prolonging life and even improving the body."

Zhou Leng narrowed his eyes.

Some of the Jade Kings in the spiritual lands continuously release faint stellar energy, equivalent to being in the midst of a great battlefield for an extended period of time.

Self-cultivation is of paramount importance.

It could even be said that the Jade King, who possessed the true power of the starry sky, was the foundation for his ascension to sainthood and the essence of martial arts.

Wang Boxiong said, "I hesitated to tell you, but you'll find out sooner or later. I'm telling you in advance because I'm afraid you'll act impulsively. Right now, you don't have the strength to compete with the Zhao family, so you can only endure it for now. When the time is right and the Zhao family faces a major crisis, you might be able to make your move."

Zhou Leng took a deep breath, suppressing the killing intent in his heart, and said, "Senior brother, if it were you, what would be your first step?"

"what do you want?"

"Justice, Jade King."
