My cultivation techniques can be infinitely fused.

After finishing his meal, Lu Zheng prepared to leave.

Lu Kun, on the other hand, chose to stay overnight.

Although Zhao Xin was envious, he thought of his wife at home. If he didn't go back today, she would probably cause a huge uproar, so he had no choice but to go back.

However, he was still quite satisfied today. Lu Zheng had already said that there shouldn't be any problem in bringing Zhao Ben back.

The main reason is that He Yun is now the General Who Guards the North, so it's just a matter of saying a few words.

But as soon as he stepped out the door, Lu Zheng sensed something was wrong. His hair stood on end, and a very strong and mixed aura rushed towards him.

This feeling startled him.

His gaze swept forward, his eyes narrowing involuntarily. At this hour, there shouldn't be so many vendors on the streets, but they were here today.

As Lu Zheng walked out of the Soft Jade Pavilion, these people all glanced at him discreetly.

Although he was well disguised, Lu Zheng still managed to spot him.

He whispered to Zhao Xin, who was standing to the side with a flushed face from drinking, "Go and mobilize troops immediately. There are sect members here, so don't make a sound."

To outsiders, Lu Zheng appeared to be drunk, swaying unsteadily while supporting Zhao Xin's shoulder.

The latter was startled and broke out in a cold sweat, instantly sobering up considerably.

"You go in first, then leave through the back window later." Lu Zheng lowered his voice, but to outsiders it sounded like he was about to vomit.

"Let's go together." Zhao Xin, after all, had seen his share of storms and had been through thick and thin.

He subtly helped Lu Zheng up and whispered.

"My energy has been locked down. If I turn back, they will definitely break in and I won't be able to leave. I can still buy some time now." Lu Zheng's voice was somewhat urgent.

Zhao Xin nodded without further hesitation; he now had complete faith in Lu Zheng.

Then he raised his voice and said, "It's such a damn rip-off! They gave me so much money, I'll have some fun before I go back."

After saying that, he swayed and walked inside.

The madam who saw them off hadn't heard their conversation. When she heard that Zhao Xin wanted to stay, her face lit up with excitement, and she immediately said, "I advised you to stay, but you wouldn't listen. Little Hong was even sad."

After speaking, he helped Zhao Xin walk inside.

Lu Zheng, on the other hand, leisurely left the Soft Jade Pavilion and headed towards his home.

At this moment, he regretted that he had been too arrogant and hadn't brought any people with him.

But thinking about it, this kind of commotion today is clearly aimed at killing me. Even if I bring people with me, I probably won't be able to escape.

Because he sensed that there were experts among them.

  

They are extremely strong.

The vendors on both sides of the street had already set their sights on him.

These people were all experts from their sects. Since so many of their people had been killed by Lu Zheng in Huangsha City, they naturally wanted revenge.

This matter was orchestrated by the Xuanjian Sect.

Originally, these sect members thought that if they took action against Lu Zheng immediately, it might provoke retaliation from the entire Northern Frontier Hundred Cavalry Division. However, the Xuanjian Sect members said that if they did not eliminate Lu Zheng as soon as possible, the hearts of their sect disciples would not be at peace.

That's why we have what happened today.

As Lu Zheng walked to the end of the street, someone finally couldn't hold back any longer.

A middle-aged couple selling wontons were passing by Lu Zheng's stall.

"Splash!"

They overturned the stall, splashing hot water to block Lu Zheng's view. Then, the two men raised their long knives and stabbed at Lu Zheng's sides.

If it were an ordinary drunk person, they probably wouldn't be able to withstand this attack at all.

But Lu Zheng was already clear-headed. He did a backflip to dodge the splashed hot water and the two men's blades.

Clang!

Su Tie drew his sword and slashed forward.

The moment the two sect assassins made their move, he sensed that the couple opposite him were of similar cultivation level to him.

They are all at the Refining Realm.

"Ding!"

A crisp sound rang out as the woman's short knife was cleaved in two by Su Tie's blade. Then, Lu Zheng's blade struck her neck, and blood splattered out.

It was clear that he wouldn't survive.

Lu Zheng didn't stop moving. After dealing with one person, he felt a gust of wind coming from the side. He dodged the middle-aged man's attack by turning to the side, and then slammed his shoulder into the man's chest.

The Heavenly Demon Dragon Elephant Technique is a body-refining technique. After Lu Zheng's strength reached the Refining Realm, it was unparalleled. At least among those of the same realm, few could rival him.

"boom!"

The man's chest caved in from the impact.

He collapsed to the ground, his life hanging in the balance.

"Sizzle!"

But at that moment, a terrifying scene unfolded.

The vendors on both sides of the street gradually came to the center of the street, took out their weapons, and dragged the blades towards Lu Zheng, sparks flying as they scraped the ground.

Looking at this scene, Lu Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The scene that just happened was complicated, but the battle ended in an instant.

According to his estimation, even if Zhao Xin found reinforcements as quickly as possible, it would take half an incense stick's time, or even a full incense stick's time. In that time, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand such an attack from so many people.

Among the sect members present, even the weakest among them were practicing purification.

The blood was moved, and the meridians were opened, which also brought a lot of blood.

There's still some true essence left; how can you fight that? It's simply impossible.

At that very moment, on the roof of an old house behind the street, an old man and a young woman were watching this scene.

The latter said softly, "A mere commander of a thousand men can attract so many assassins from various sects?"

"Hehe, this just proves that this person is extraordinary," the old man said with a smile.

Then, he turned to the woman beside him and said, "When I was his age, I wasn't worth this much."

"So, what does the teacher mean?"

"We've finally run into him. He's a member of the imperial court; we can't just stand by and watch him get killed by these remnants of the sects," the old man's voice rang out. He was none other than Zhuang Xuqiu.

The old man was already preparing to rest.

But he sensed a murderous intent coming from behind the house, and only after going out did he realize what was happening.

It turns out they are remnants of a sect, causing such a big commotion.

"I'll have someone clean up these remnants of the martial arts world right away," the woman said immediately.

"I'll do it. It's best if you don't reveal your identity. It's been many years since I've fought anyone, so it's good to stretch my muscles now." After Zhuang Xuqiu finished speaking, he lightly tapped his right foot and floated away.

Then, he landed beside Lu Zheng, looked at the gradually gathering crowd, and said with a smile, "Young man, what trouble have you gotten yourself into? Why are so many people trying to kill you?"

Lu Zheng was startled; he had no idea when the old man in front of him had gotten so close.

This level of cultivation is truly terrifying.

At that moment, the remnants of the sects who had already approached roared, "Kill this lackey of the imperial court!"

After shouting, he charged forward with his weapon in hand.
