Chapter 249: Remnants of Traitors
accidental?

When the young man heard what Lu Zheng said, he didn't want to believe it at all.

This kind of place, even for him, was the first time he brought people here to avoid disaster.

In the family, only a few elders know about this place.

In addition, there is the big monster at the foot of the mountain.

But the big monster didn't know how to enter the cave.

Their family and several other families conspired to assassinate Lu Zheng.

Before this action was taken, several major families secretly sent some people out of the city so that some of their members could be saved.

Now, Lu Zheng's sudden appearance here has already indicated a possibility, that is, the mission has failed.

And they have been exposed.

"Shh!"

The young man's heart tightened, and with trembling hands, he drew the long sword from his waist and shouted sharply: "Enemy attack!"

Although he didn't know how Lu Zheng broke in here, the situation was too critical for him to think too much.

Some men heard the noise and rushed over with weapons in hand, some even wearing armor.

They had fled here and had already made some preparations, but they didn't expect someone to come here so soon.

Lu Zheng remained expressionless as he spoke leisurely, "Even that old monster down the mountain is no match for me. You should all lay down your weapons and follow me back to the state government office to stand trial."

"Don't think about it!"

The young man replied in a cold voice that for the things their families had done, killing their entire clan was the least they could do. Going back would only mean death and torture.

He didn't want to go back to face any trial.

"Yu Er, take the ladies and go first, we'll cover your rear!"

The young man rushed towards Lu Zheng with a long sword in his hand.

Seeing this, the others attacked Lu Zheng.

At this point, they have no way out and can only fight to the death to buy some time for others.

Lu Zheng remained calm, dodging the attacks with ease. He glanced around, "Yu family? There are other families too, right? I have some impression of some of them..."

Lu Zheng had seen the faces of several of these people at the previous Confucian Temple ceremony.

"I heard that your major families have been developing in Hongzhou. I wonder when they started to have contact and collusion with the Wu Kingdom?" Lu Zheng was a little curious.

However, no one answered, but the answer they wanted was nothing more than offering enough benefits, enough to make people willingly collaborate with the enemy and betray their country, or even willing to sacrifice their families in order to carry out the assassination.

Lu Zheng flashed and chased after the man called Yu Er.

"Stop him!" someone shouted.

A middle-aged man took out a jade plate, and the jade plate suddenly became excited.

A strong wind swept towards Lu Zheng, and a powerful pressure descended from the sky, suppressing him in an instant.

Lu Zheng's body sank, and his speed slowed down a bit.

He understood that someone was manipulating the power of this cave to suppress him.

However, such power is not strong enough, and the caster's cultivation is not high enough. How can he be suppressed?

Lu Zheng released a righteous energy from his body, quickly offsetting the force of oppression.

Even the cold winds could not get close to him.

Lu Zheng turned his gaze to the side, looked at the middle-aged man who was controlling the formation plate not far away, and raised his hand to draw a sword.

The sword light flashed, and the sharp sword energy came in an instant.

A barrier appeared in front of the middle-aged man, but was shattered in an instant.

The sword energy broke through the barrier, its power undiminished.

One of the middle-aged man's arms was cut off and blood gushed out immediately.

The middle-aged man endured the pain and completely activated the formation within the cave.

In a flash, the situation changed suddenly, and murderous aura enveloped Lu Zheng.

In the air, streaks of bloody murderous aura emerged and fell like a rain of arrows.

Lu Zheng waved his hand, Su Wu's staff was in his hand, and his righteous spirit surged to the sky, dispelling the strong murderous aura.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Zheng took out Zhang Liang's hammer and poured his righteous energy into it.

Zhang Liangchui instantly shone with brilliance, and his aura was majestic.

Lu Zheng was seen holding Zhang Liang's hammer and smashing it to the ground.

The earth trembled, and a majestic aura spread out, which immediately caused the formation in the cave to deviate, destroyed part of it, and reduced its power sharply.

How is it possible... The middle-aged man was shocked. He didn't expect that Lu Zheng could break the formation with one strike.

"call……"

Lu Zheng exhaled a breath of foul air and felt his arms a little numb.

He glanced and saw a door appearing out of thin air in the distance. Someone was organizing women and children to escape.

Seeing this, Lu Zheng put away Zhang Liang's club, and his righteous energy transformed into a bow and arrow, and an arrow was shot out quickly.

Near the gate, arrows suddenly exploded, and the righteous energy raged, directly tearing and destroying the gate.

Seeing other people gathering around him, Lu Zheng frowned, thinking that they really didn't know how to live or die.

He took a step and threw a punch, and the roar of a tiger resounded throughout the cave.

Some people heard the tiger's roar so loudly that their eardrums hurt and their blood and qi became chaotic.

"If you continue to be stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Lu Zheng said coldly. However, there were still servants who rushed towards him without fear of death.

Lu Zheng said no more. His figure flashed, and his punches were like the wind and his momentum was like a rainbow.

It swept through like a whirlwind, leaving no one unstoppable wherever it passed, and everyone was knocked flying.

Some people were not strong enough and were killed by Lu Zheng with one punch, while others were seriously injured and could not fight again.

In just a few breaths, all the people who besieged Lu Zheng fell to the ground.

Lu Zheng's eyes were calm. If he hadn't had to keep some people for interrogation, he would have dealt with everyone in one move.

He even restrained his strength, but some people still couldn't bear it.

Lu Zheng turned to look not far away, where other people were gathered, mostly women and children, all with frightened expressions, afraid that Lu Zheng would attack them.

However, Lu Zheng would not attack someone who was powerless.

He turned his gaze away and walked up to the young man he met at the beginning.

The young man had been severely injured and was almost fainting from the pain.

These people didn't even have the ability to buy a little time, which made Lu Zhengqiang frightened.

"Are there other people hiding somewhere?" Lu Zheng asked.

The young man gritted his teeth and glared without saying a word.

Lu Zheng stared at the young man for a few seconds and felt that he didn't know.

After all, when it comes to escaping, if you run away separately, you will definitely not inform each other, otherwise it would be easy to be caught in one fell swoop.

"Kill me!" the young man suddenly said.

Lu Zheng chuckled and said, "If you're not afraid of death, no wonder you're collaborating with the enemy and betraying your country. If you're not even afraid of death, what else are you afraid of? It's easy to want to die, but I don't want to do it now. I'll leave you to return to the state government office and slowly explain your mistakes."

The young man heard the mockery in Lu Zheng's tone.

He couldn't help but grin. "Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country? How many people in this world are truly loyal to their country? They're all doing it for themselves... Otherwise, why would you come forward and suppress so many families in Hongzhou City? What's the difference between them and us? They're all just parasites, haha..."

Lu Zheng was silent. It sounded like there was nothing wrong with this.

But if you break the law, you have to pay the price and accept sanctions.

It is impossible for all families to have committed crimes, otherwise there will be a saying that the law cannot punish everyone, otherwise the world will be in chaos.
"The victor is king and the loser is a bandit, there's nothing much to say." The young man took a few breaths, his eyes deep. "It seems that we have all fallen into your hands. This is fate. But people like you will not have a good ending. Even if you have received the Holy Gift, this world is turbid and has no room for you!"

The young man looked at Lu Zheng with a complicated expression.

Lu Zheng said calmly: "Don't worry about this..."

Lu Zheng bent down slightly, sealed the young man's acupoints, and then sealed the other people with cultivation.

Then, Lu Zheng took the formation plate, fumbled with it for a while, and figured out how to control it.

He looked at everyone and said, "Come back with me. If anyone is seriously injured and can't get up, please help them!"

Lu Zheng opened the gate to the cave and let everyone leave.

The crowd was powerless to resist and could only walk out of the cave and into the outside world under Lu Zheng's gaze.

After a while, Lu Zheng was the last one to leave the cave.

He finally looked back at the cave, shook his head slightly and said, "What a pity..."

After passing through the gate, Lu Zheng found himself on another hill, not the original mountain.

Seeing this, Lu Zheng looked at everyone and said, "Wait here for a moment. I'll go explore the way. Of course, you can choose to escape, but there are many monsters and wild beasts in these wild mountains and ridges..."

After Lu Zheng finished speaking, he left the crowd and waved upwards to a place not far away.

A bird descended from the sky and landed in Lu Zheng's palm.

Lu Zheng said, "Please go to the mountain across the street. There's a villa there. Ask Qing Wan to come to my place..."

Lu Zheng gave some instructions and pasted a small piece of cultural relics on the bird's back to prevent it from being corroded by the poisonous miasma.

The bird responded and quickly flew to the opposite hill.

After a while, the bird came back, indicating that Qingwan had been notified.

Lu Zheng thanked him and went back to wait in the crowd.

At a glance, no one escaped. These people had seen Lu Zheng's abilities, so there was no need to do anything useless.

After a while, Qing Wan appeared in front of Lu Zheng and asked excitedly, "Lu Zheng, what do you want to talk to me about? Hey, there are so many people here!"

"These are the people we want to capture. Please help keep an eye on them and don't let them get away," Lu Zheng said.

Qing Wan's eyes flashed when she heard that, and she immediately said, "Bad guys! No problem, don't even think about escaping!"

"You take them down the mountain first, I will go back to the villa to bring those people over." Lu Zheng gave another order.

Then, Lu Zheng left quickly and returned to the villa.

He first went to the medicinal field, collected the medicinal herbs and planted them in his own Wen Palace courtyard.

Then he went to the villa, used his own breath to block the miasma, and escorted these weak ordinary people away.

These people are too weak. Otherwise, they would hardly be able to leave the mountain alive.

The ginseng spirit was also carried down the mountain by someone.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Lu Zheng untied the ginseng spirit and released it. "Practice well in the future, don't do evil, and be careful not to get caught by any monsters again."

The ginseng spirit bowed to express his gratitude, then ran away like the wind.

Seeing this, someone couldn't help but say: "This is ginseng spirit, young master is really willing to give it away."

Lu Zheng smiled faintly, "God is merciful and merciful. Since the other party has awakened his intelligence and is not an evil demon, we can give him a chance to live."
