My cultivation techniques can be infinitely fused.

After bidding farewell to Qingdai, Lu Zheng led his men and the caravan toward Fufeng.

Along the way, they did not encounter any troublemakers, after all, the flag of the Hundred Cavalry Division was still very effective.

After entering Fufeng territory, Lu Zheng parted ways with Wei Tong. The latter took his men to the manor, while Lu Zheng returned to the city and entered his own residence.

Although it was already dark, Lu Zheng did not rest after finishing his meal.

Instead, he ordered his men to drag out the two innate beings who had been imprisoned in the adjacent dungeon.

These two innate masters were actually quite strong; they were just unlucky to have encountered Zhuang Xuqiu, a god-like figure.

After all, the latter led his men to conquer countless sects back then, and his own cultivation level was already top-notch. If it weren't for his current depletion of qi and blood and significant decline in strength...

With those two congenital conditions, he probably wouldn't survive.

However, things aren't much better now, as he's covered in chains.

Because the medication was given in advance.

  

The true energy within him was extremely difficult to mobilize.

His original combat power was weakened by Lu Zheng to the Blood Moving Realm, which was about the same as his own.

When they appeared before Lu Zheng, they looked at him with resentment and hatred in their eyes.

The two of them have been tormented quite a bit these days.

"Name." Lu Zheng didn't waste any words with them and said calmly.

"Flying Asura, return to the heavens."

"Bloodclaw Pixiu, Guhe."

These two are quite famous in the martial arts world. Both of them are at the Innate Realm. The former's lightness skill is said to be invincible among those of the same realm, and his figure is like a ghost.

The latter is skilled in claw techniques, and his "Blood-Coagulating Divine Claw" is considered a unique skill.

They were the main force that assassinated Lu Zheng last time.

However, now that he is a prisoner, he can only serve as Lu Zheng's sparring partner. As for the others, they have all been executed by Lu Zheng. He has been busy with this for several days, but the results are very gratifying.

Putting everything else aside, I've gained quite a few achievement points.

"You two fight me. Whoever defeats me will let you go," Lu Zheng said calmly without arguing with them.

"Are you serious?" Mu Gui looked up in surprise.

He hadn't expected Lu Zheng to be so arrogant.

Although they were currently bound by chains and their cultivation was suppressed by pills, they were still innate masters.

Physical strength, combat experience, and comprehension of cultivation techniques are simply incomparable to those at the Blood Refining Realm.

"Heh, don't be so happy, let's talk after the fight." As Lu Zheng spoke, Su Tiedao had already been drawn.

Then he charged at the two of them.

Although these two were not as strong as Xiao Zun, they were not weak either, and they immediately went to meet him.

The weapons clashed, making a "clanging" sound.

Lu Zheng's movements were swift and his strength was immense; he held his own against two opponents without being at a disadvantage.

This alarmed both of their opponents.

Although their cultivation was suppressed, even if they were at the same level, one of them could easily handle several Bloodthirsty Demons. They never expected Lu Zheng to be so terrifying.

They were completely overpowered.

Huang Yan and the others watching from the sidelines were also terrified.

They knew Lu Zheng was talented, but they didn't expect him to be this terrifying.

It has come to this point.

The sparring session lasted for about two hours before it ended.

Lu Zheng waved his hand, and the two innate masters were taken away.

At this moment, neither of them underestimated Lu Zheng in the slightest.

Instead, they began to study how to defeat their opponent.

After all, freedom is extremely precious to them.

At this moment, Lu Zheng didn't care what the two were thinking. After taking a shower, he went straight to rest.

He had just woken up early the next morning.

Huang Yan's voice rang out from outside: "My lord, an urgent report has arrived from the prefectural city. Please read it."

Lu Zheng hadn't expected that, not long after the New Year, an urgent report would arrive from the capital.

"Creak!"

After pushing open the door and coming out, he took the letter and began to read it.

It was Yun Chen who personally issued the order for him to inspect the northern frontier.

"The imperial court is about to make a big move," Lu Zheng said softly after reading the contents.

His gaze turned to Huang Yan: "Notify the troops stationed outside the city to set off tomorrow to inspect the northern frontier."

"Yes, sir!" Huang Yan replied and then withdrew.

Lu Zheng went back inside to get dressed and then walked outside.

Just as I sat down in the front hall, I saw Xiao Ling rushing over.

The latter entered the front hall and, without any ceremony, sat down directly, saying, "You've received the news about the inspection of the northern frontier, haven't you?"

"Yes, I just received it." Lu Zheng nodded.

"This time, the commotion is huge. The Third Prince is personally overseeing it. The Governor and Eunuch Wang of the Black Ice Platform have made a bet in front of His Highness to complete the task of conquering the Hundred Sects."

The commander has placed all his bets on you.

"If you succeed this time, you should be able to advance to a higher level; if you fail, the governor will likely be in trouble as well," Xiao Ling said softly.

After all, she was born into the Xiao family, and the information she received was naturally incomparable to what Lu Zheng could currently access.

"This puts a lot of pressure on me," Lu Zheng said with a wry smile.

However, if there really are a hundred sects in the northern frontier, he is still confident that he can find them.

"It's normal to be under a lot of pressure. Don't just talk about you, I'm under a lot of pressure too. All the local offices have received the message that we must do our best to clean up the remnants of the sects. Although you have almost rectified Fufeng."

"However, this is the exit point after all, and after the New Year, there will likely still be a large number of people entering, and it's inevitable that some members of sects will be mixed in among them," Xiao Ling said helplessly.

There isn't a capable person like Lu Zheng among my subordinates.

She feels that she has been under a lot more pressure lately.

Thinking of this, when she looked up at Lu Zheng, a hint of resentment appeared in her eyes. She continued, "But you have more to do. The remnants of the sects in the Northern Frontier have connections with people in the local government. This time you're on inspection, I don't know how many people you'll offend. If you have any problems, you can come to me. I can still speak up for you here."

It is clear that Xiao Ling now considers Lu Zheng as her friend.

Ordinary young masters and ladies from prominent families would not say such things.

"Don't worry, it's inevitable that I'll have to trouble you," Lu Zheng said with a smile.

He was telling the truth. He had some influence in Fufeng, but it wasn't enough in the entire Northern Frontier.

This area connects thirteen states and sixty-four prefectures.

Moreover, the local people were fierce and powerful, and there were many local strongmen. It also had connections with the Rong and Di tribes, making it one of the main places for the remnants of the sects to develop.

However, at this moment, Lu Zheng was somewhat expectant.

If he could truly sweep the northern frontier clean, his gains would be substantial, enough to elevate his cultivation and power to a very high level.

While I wouldn't dare say he could rival those powerful clans, it would definitely give him considerable resources.
