Confucian and Taoist scholar

Chapter 413: Ruining Reputation
Lu Zheng's attitude was quite tough, and he was not afraid of these old monsters who had reached the sixth level of enlightenment.

His aura was not restrained at all, and he even took a bottle of spiritual liquid to restore his strength, as if he was ready to fight to the death.

As long as someone dares to attack him and cannot kill him in one go, he can respond quickly.

Of course, Lu Zheng was certain that no one would dare to act rashly.

These elderly great demons must value their lives more than he does and would never gamble.

The ancestor of the Jiao clan looked at Lu Zheng quietly with a complicated mood. He had lived for so long, and this was the first time he met a young man who made him lose face. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Feeling the strong sense of righteousness emanating from Lu Zheng, he had to admit that this was the human Confucian cultivator with the purest sense of righteousness he had ever seen.

If such a person really died here, not to mention An Guo, I am afraid that other Confucian and Taoist masters would be dissatisfied after knowing it and would take the opportunity to eliminate them.

Besides, Lu Zheng might have a life-saving trump card, so they might not be able to do anything to him now.

If a fight really comes to a head, it's hard to say who will live and who will die.

For a moment, the two sides were in a standoff and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

The ancestor of the Jiao clan did not want to take any risks, but he also did not want to discuss anything with Lu Zheng so soon. He still had to save face, so how could he be weaker than a junior?

At worst, we can just wait and see who speaks first.

"Cough cough..."

An old man in a white robe suddenly coughed dryly.

As a powerful demon who was on the neutral side, he felt that it was necessary for him to step forward and smooth things over, to pave the way for everyone.

After all, if Lu Zheng really died here, and Anguo came to settle the score, no one present would be able to escape responsibility.

All the major demon tribes on Star Island combined cannot withstand a great scholar from Anguo, not to mention that Anguo has even more powerful existences.

As one of the nine great countries in the world, Anguo can flood the entire Star Island with just a breath.

The old man thought that he had watched enough of the show, and if he continued, he would be drawn into it.

The old man in white robe glanced at everyone and said quietly, "Why is it so? If you have anything to say, please sit down and talk it over slowly. Fighting and killing are not good. Harmony brings wealth..."

Upon hearing this, the powerful men from the Jiao and Turtle tribes thought to themselves that it wasn't your descendants who died, and it wasn't your face that was hit. It's really easy to talk without any pain in your waist.

"Although I'm not sure what the conflict is between you..." The old man in the white robe pretended to be confused and continued, "But I think everyone has suffered losses. If this continues, it will not be good for anyone. Why don't we all take a step back and let it go? From now on, everyone will live in peace and not interfere in the affairs of other tribes. If there is any dissatisfaction, we can discuss and resolve it..."

The old man was there trying to persuade them with kind words, trying to resolve the conflicts between the major clans and Lu Zheng.

Of course, the grievances among the various demon tribes on Star Island have existed for a long time, and the old man did not expect to resolve them.

Just want to calm down the current conflict.

A moment later, the ancestor of the Jiao clan turned around and left with his men, looking reluctant.

Someone has given me a way out. If I don't take it, I will never have to fight with Lu Zheng.

It is really unnecessary for him, a powerful Tongxuan master, to fight against a fourth-level human. If he wins, it will be dishonorable, and if he loses, he will lose face and may even lose his life.

Seeing this, several other powerful demon tribesmen did not stay for long. They dispersed and went back to their homes to do what they had to do.

Seeing that the matter had come to an end, Shenyu couldn't help but feel relieved.

If Lu Zhengzhen fought with those powerful demons, they would not just watch.

By then, I'm afraid it will be a fight to the death.

Shenyu came close to Lu Zheng and whispered, "Let's go, go back first..."

Lu Zheng restrained some of his aura and turned to go back with the Mirage Clan members.

Shen Yufei was standing next to Lu Zheng and couldn't help but say, "You're really amazing! I didn't expect you to actually dare to challenge them."

She thought that Lu Zheng would at most go to the Jiao clan to argue, but he actually took action to kill the monster and was not afraid of the Tongxuan monster at all.

Lu Zheng acted so cruelly and wildly that he completely overturned Shenyu's understanding of Confucian and Taoist scholars.

Now Lu Zheng is only at the fourth realm, and he dares to fight and kill the great demon Tongxuan. What will happen if his realm is higher in the future?
None of the Confucian scholars she had met before was as strong as Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng said calmly, "Some monsters are already terminally ill and have become a nuisance. It would be better for everyone if we eliminated them."

Under the current circumstances, if we don't kill a few prominent demons, the major demon tribes will definitely become more unscrupulous.

The Mirage Clan is not ready to tear each other apart, so he will step in.

Originally, Lu Zheng didn't like Ao Han and other demons who cultivated evil spirits and were not good people.

Ao Han had wanted to swallow him up to practice martial arts before, but now that he has the chance, how could he let it go?
Shenyu was amazed in her heart. Lu Zheng did something she had always wanted to do but was difficult to do, and she couldn't help but feel very happy.

She was somewhat curious about how Lu Zheng fought against four people at once and killed the monster without a scratch.

I used to think Lu Zheng was just a junior, but he actually had such strength.

Shenyu asked, "What you just said, is there really a way to deal with them?"

If it were her, she would not be able to withstand a few moves from those powerful masters of the Jiao and Turtle tribes.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Those in the Tongxuan realm have profound cultivation and extraordinary abilities, so they are not easy to kill." Lu Zheng did have some means to deal with the Tongxuan masters, but he was not absolutely sure of killing them.

After all, he had never fought with Tongxuan masters before, and he had no idea what abilities those people had.

So he didn't take action, but chose to intimidate.

Shenyu raised her eyebrows slightly. "Does he really want to kill those old monsters?" It seems that Lu Zheng is hiding deeper than she thought.

However, when you think about the network of connections Lu Zheng has access to and the treasures he has on him to use against the Tongxuan monster, it makes perfect sense.

Shen Yu couldn't help but say, "This way, they should be able to stay quiet for a while..."

Although those tribes did not make any promises just now, their retreat first expressed some attitude.

At least in the short term, those demon tribes will no longer act recklessly to cause trouble in the Mirage Tribe's territory.

"I hope so." Lu Zheng said softly.

He can't stay in Star Island forever. If he encounters such a thing again, it will depend on whether the Mirage Clan can withstand the pressure.

……

On the other side, the Jiao clan's ancestor had a gloomy face and asked the younger generation who had fought with Lu Zheng, "You four can't even defeat a fourth-level cultivator? What's going on?"

Not only him, but other great monsters were also puzzled and didn't know how Lu Zheng did it.

Upon hearing this, the Jiao clan man's expression changed. "He cultivates righteousness, which is very effective against our magic. He also knows other spells and possesses several powerful treasures..."

The man described what happened in as much detail as possible.

The monsters were all surprised and doubtful when they heard this, and they couldn't believe it.

According to the man, Lu Zheng is not a pure Confucian cultivator at all. He has many skills, including rhetoric, literary treasures, thunder magic, fire magic, sword intent, etc. He is extremely proficient in them and can cross the border to kill the enemy.

Such people can be called the geniuses of the human race and are almost invincible in the same realm.

The Jiao clan ancestor couldn't help but ask: "He didn't use the power of others? For example, the great scholar's treasures, high-level jade talismans, etc..."

The man thought about it carefully and shook his head, "No, he should have relied on his own ability. If he had used a treasure like that, we would have been dead and would not have been able to hold on until you seniors arrived."

If the great scholar Wen Bao had such a treasure, he would have killed all four of them at once. How could he survive?
The expressions of the monsters kept changing. If they said that Lu Zheng had displayed such strength without the support of a powerful force or strong people, they would not believe it even if they were beaten to death.

And just because Lu Zheng didn't use the power of others doesn't mean that Lu Zheng doesn't have such self-defense treasures...

Lu Zheng's provocative words just now were really well-founded.

The Jiao clan ancestor's face turned ugly, and he confirmed his identity. He was someone who could not be provoked.

A great demon whispered, "Ao Han and the others' deaths will end just like this..."

He didn't finish his words, but all the monsters understood that they had to bear this loss, and Ao Han and the others died in vain.

Not only that, those things happening against the Mirage Tribe and the Mermaid Tribe probably really need to stop.

The Jiao Clan's ancestor thought for a while before speaking, "He was making plans for the Mirage Clan. If this were to get out, what do you think the Confucian and Taoist scholars of the human race would think?"

Upon hearing this, a demon couldn't help but ask, "Old Ancestor, do you want the human race to deal with him?"

Another demon's eyes sparkled. "Speaking of which, Confucian and Taoist scholars value reputation the most. If it were to spread that he was colluding with the demon tribe..."

Previously, they were planning to spread the news that the Mirage Clan was colluding with the human race in order to reduce the prestige of the Mirage Clan on Star Island.

Now they can also spread the news of what happened here to the human race.

Saying that Lu Zheng works for the demon clan damages the image of Confucian and Taoist scholars and makes the human race target Lu Zheng.

"He cultivates righteousness. Will humans believe such words?"

"Isn't he here helping the Mirage Clan? We just need to spread some of the news. If three people become a tiger, it's inevitable that people will believe it."

"I know some people and gods in Chu. I can tell them and have them pass it on to An Guo..."

"It's said that scholars look down on each other. There will definitely be people who criticize him and even ruin his reputation."

"Even if he has something to rely on, can he really shut up so many people?"

"This is a brilliant plan. Can we use a knife to kill someone?"

"Kill someone and destroy their heart. You may not be able to kill the person, but you can destroy his heart!"

"Confucian and Taoist scholars focus on cultivating their minds. If we destroy their literary mind, how much can this child achieve?"

The demons discussed it there, trying to regain their lost face.

They didn't dare to do anything to Lu Zheng, but they had a way to get others to target Lu Zheng.

If Lu Zheng knew the plans of these great monsters, he probably wouldn't take it to heart at all.

The innocent will be innocent. Lu Zheng doesn't care about his reputation at all. He doesn't expect many people to support what he wants to do. He may even encounter many obstacles and oppositions. What does this little thing on Xingdao matter?
Lu Zheng might even thank You Yao for promoting him, letting more people know about what he has done. This can be considered as building up some momentum for him, and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
