Chapter 58 "On Two Ways to Enter the Danyang Sect" [Second Update!]

"father!"

"father"

"Lei Family Fortress is finished!"

Lei Shijun was recuperating at home when his eldest son, Lei Yuanyong, suddenly arrived. The usually composed eldest son looked utterly defeated and dejected.

cough~
Lei Shijun, weak, coughed twice and glared, demanding, "What happened at Lei Family Fortress!"

Lei Yuanyong said bitterly, "Our ancestral graves were dug up and burned. Then someone breached the Bazhanghe Reservoir, flooding Lei Family Fortress!"

"Nonsense!"

Lei Shijun, on his deathbed, was startled awake!

Let's leave the ancestral graves aside for now.

Take reservoirs for example.

"Even if the reservoir breaches its banks, the water should flow downhill along the Bazhang River. How could it have ended up five miles to the south at Leijiabao?"

Lei Shijun cursed loudly!
This reservoir was built after he took office, and it was planned long ago that even if there was a major flood, it would never flow towards Leijiabao.

But how could he know—

"Dad!"

"That group of people are skilled at digging. Sometime ago, they dug a ten-zhang-wide underground channel between the village and the reservoir, effectively diverting the water from the reservoir and the upper reaches of the Bazhang River to the village."

"We were caught off guard. The crops in the fields were washed away completely. I'm afraid we'll have no harvest this year."

"A large amount of river water also flooded into the fortress. Although not many people were killed or injured, the floodwaters inundated the fortress, and the granary, armory, and warehouses were all submerged, resulting in heavy losses!"

Lei Yuanyong's heart was bleeding.

Little did Lei Shijun know, he was completely stunned after hearing this.

Originally, the Lei family had suffered extremely heavy losses in Shangyang City due to arson and murder, but Lei Shijun still had something to hold onto. In moments of despair, he would often think of Lei Family Fortress as a solid support, which would reignite his fighting spirit.

This is the greatest source of his mental strength that keeps him going.

however.

today.

The eldest son, Lei Yuanyong, ran over and said that Lei Family Fort had been flooded.
The support is gone?

The pillar has collapsed?

Oh!
correct.

There are also ancestral graves.

"Ahhh!"

Lei Shijun's face was contorted with rage and despair. He roared twice and then coughed up blood repeatedly.

"father!"

"Don't scare me!"

Lei Yuanyong panicked.

It's just that ancestral graves were dug up and the village was flooded. Is it really necessary to get so worked up?

Their family is very wealthy and powerful.

With so many industries in and around Shangyang City and even Shangyang Prefecture, what's there to be afraid of?
Manage it well.

They'll turn things around sooner or later.

Lei Yuanyong felt that his father was getting old and his ability to cope was too low.

Then it occurred to him that perhaps Lei Shijun, being over sixty and approaching the age of knowing one's destiny, was particularly sensitive to matters like ancestral graves, which was why he was so angry.

But it's still too exaggerated.

"father!"

"It really isn't that bad!"

He comforted her from the side.

At this time.

Lai Da strode in upon hearing the commotion, and was shocked to see what was happening: "Sir, what bad news have you told the master this time?"

"I only mentioned that Leijiabao was flooded and ancestral graves were dug up."

"Ok?"

"again?"

"Any other bad news?"

Lei Yuanyong sensed something was wrong and suddenly looked at Lai Da.

Lai cried out, “Damn it! They’re trying to wipe us out! Just the other day, those people burned down all our shops and warehouses in Shangyang City and killed 66 shopkeepers and managers. Master was so angry he vomited blood! How can we hear more bad news like this!”

"..."

Lei Yuanyong was struck dumb, and only one thought occupied his mind—

The Lei family is finished!

……

The Lei family is finished.

But it's not completely finished.

The centipede is dead but not stiff.

The Lei family was ultimately a large and powerful family. Even after suffering repeated setbacks, as long as the people were still alive, they could still make a comeback after lying low for several or even a decade.

However, Zuo Jing was not prepared to give the Lei family such an opportunity.

"The powerful families and sects of Shangyang Prefecture are no good!"

"You've been given a chance, but you've failed to make use of it."

"Why not seize such a good opportunity to kick someone when they're down?"

Zuo Jing waited for several days, but neither the Fu and Lü families in Shangyang City launched an attack on the Lei family, nor did he see any action from the Danyang, Tieshen, and Tongtian factions.

wait wait wait!
Who knows what they're waiting for!
Is it because they're afraid of being blamed?

Think too much!
Do they have the ability to turn the Lei family into this mess?
it is good!
Even if there is.

But after they've wrecked the Lei family, do they have the ability to hide their own family so well without any leaks?

The latter is where the real difficulty lies.

This is also why the major powers in Shangyang Prefecture are wary of Zuo Jing.

"fear me?"

Zuo Jing laughed: "The more afraid you are of me, the more I'll bully you!"

……

The Danyang School is located on Danyang Mountain, more than forty miles from Shangyang City.

These days.

At the foot of Danyang Mountain, a young man knelt with a resolute expression.

In front of the mountain gate.

Several disciples guarding the mountain pointed and whispered among themselves.

"How many days were you kneeling?"

"It will take three days."

"You haven't eaten or drunk anything for three days and haven't moved an inch. Don't kneel until you die!"

"Stop talking nonsense! This boy's determination to become a disciple and learn martial arts is as firm as a rock. He respects and honors my Danyang Sect as much as a mountain and the sky. That's why he is willing to kneel here for so long. He has long since disregarded life and death. His sincerity is extremely rare in this world. How dare we treat him with disrespect?"

……

Zuo Jing possessed the body of Zhao Jiujiu, a first-class assassin, and passed by Zhao Baba, another first-class assassin. When he arrived at the Danyang Sect's mountain gate, he happened to overhear the discussion of the disciples guarding the mountain.

He laughed immediately.

unfortunately.

He had more than two thousand such "death-defying" and "extremely devout" warriors.

If he weren't worried about causing a stir, he could have even summoned hundreds or thousands of assassins to kneel before the Danyang Sect's gates, begging to be accepted as disciples.

But that would be too fake.

We can only do it one at a time.

This inspiration came from Zuo Jing's previous life's story of "standing in the snow outside Cheng's door" and the plot of Liu Chenxiang becoming Sun Wukong's apprentice at Mount Emei in "The Lotus Lantern".

In a world like the Great Yan, anything taken to extremes or the ultimate level can move people.

benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness—

Extremely kind.

Extreme loyalty.

Extreme politeness.

Extreme wisdom.

Extremely trustworthy.

All of these can leave a deep impression on people, and even inspire a sense of admiration.

I admire him because I can't do it myself.

Just like Zhao Baba, who fervently sought to become a disciple, he knelt and prayed in front of the mountain for three days, almost to the point of death, but he stubbornly refused to give up.

Extremely rare!

If the Danyang Sect were to show leniency and accept Zhao Baba as a disciple before he dies kneeling, and then openly or secretly promote the matter afterward, the Danyang Sect's reputation and prestige would immediately rise to a new level.

Everyone would think—

What kind of sect would make people willing to kneel and die just to get in?
One to two to go.

A high reputation naturally follows.

Zuo Jing possessed Zhao Jiujiujiu and watched for a while. Sure enough, not long after, two people came down from the mountain and carried Zhao Bababa, who was already on the verge of death, up the mountain.

getting Started!

That's it!
"They might even be given special attention and training!"

Zuo Jing smiled.

If the Danyang Sect wants to take this opportunity to promote itself, how can an ordinary disciple be more convincing than an outstanding disciple who has been carefully nurtured and has become a generation of young talents?

However, the Danyang Sect thought they had struck gold, but they never expected that this extremely devout and passionate person was actually an incredibly stupid and clueless person!

Train them to become talented?

Hey!

With the brains of those assassins, Zuo Jing would be considered to have lost if he didn't drive a few Danyang Sect masters crazy!

Zuo Jing arrived at the mountain gate with a smile—

"The Lei family's terminator has sent a special envoy to see your sect leader. Go and report this immediately!"
