Start your cultivation journey by allocating points to your Destiny.

Lu Chen then understood.

So there's such a thing as signing your name.

I thought that once I paid back the money, I could just take the IOU.

He failed because of his lack of knowledge.

Back on Earth, I never borrowed money, nor did I lend money to anyone.

The predecessor of this world died before he could borrow money from anyone.

Great!

However, now that we know the reason, things are much easier to handle.

He dashed out from the ridge beside the field in one stride.

With a swift stroke, the knife fell; with a swift stroke, the knife fell…

The four henchmen that Qian Gui brought didn't even get to say a word before they were killed.

Qian Gui looked as if he had seen a ghost, his pupils contracting wildly as he watched Lu Chen suddenly emerge from behind the reeds. Before that, there had been no sound, and all his men had been killed.

He had no time to be afraid. With all his might, he let out a howl and ran forward like a madman.

At this moment, he finally regretted it; he shouldn't have gotten so fat.

A throwing knife appeared in Lu Chen's hand.

"Whoosh!"

The sharp blade sliced ​​through the air and pierced Qian Gui's kneecap, protruding directly from the front of his patella.

White bone fragments flew out.

Qian Gui screamed in agony as his right foot throbbed with pain, and his body lurched forward, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Lu Chen strode forward, stepped on Qian Gui's back, and placed the goose-feather knife against Qian Gui's neck.

His voice was icy: "Speak, what's your name? What do you do in the Green Bamboo Gang?"

Qian Gui trembled all over, his fat face shaking violently, sweat dripping down his body, and groans and screams escaping his throat.

Blood was streaming from his right knee.

"Young hero, spare me! Spare me! I don't know anything! My name is Qian Gui! Young hero, please don't kill me! I'm just an ordinary member of the Green Bamboo Gang..."

Lu Chen pressed his knife heavily against his neck, leaving a bloody gash.

Qian Gui panicked immediately and quickly changed his story: "I... I'm just an ordinary low-level leader!"

"Why did you come here?" Lu Chen asked again, glancing at the roads on both sides and in front and behind him.

Fortunately, it was midday, and with the sun so strong, not many people were out.

In summer, the lush vegetation along the roads provides some shade for them.

"Young hero, you've come looking for Huang Chao! I really don't know anything else!" The ground beneath Qian Gui gradually darkened in color.

A faint, pungent smell wafted into Lu Chen's nose.

Qian Gui peed himself.

Lu Chen frowned: "Who are the members of your Green Bamboo Gang? What are their strengths? What techniques do they practice? Tell me about the other gangs as well. If you miss any information, you can just wait to die. If you tell me everything clearly, I might consider not killing you this time! However, if we meet again, I won't let you off the hook!"

He blurted out all his questions at once.

"Really? Really?" Qian Gui couldn't believe he was still alive.

"You have no right to bargain! However, I'm always honest and trustworthy. If you speak properly, I'll definitely let you go this time! But next time we meet, I'll definitely kill you! So I suggest you leave Shahu County and go somewhere else!"

Lu Chen sneered.

Qian Gui immediately became excited, seemingly forgetting even the excruciating pain in his leg, and hurriedly shared the information he knew.

"Our gang leader is called Wang Hu. He practices the art of dissecting an ox. He started practicing this technique ten years ago and he still is, because the art of dissecting an ox can only be practiced to this level."

"Wang Bao is Wang Hu's younger brother. He is in the late stage of the Iron Bone Realm and also practices the Ox-Dissecting Knife Technique."

"Chen Biao, this guy manages the Green Bamboo Gang's brothels. I haven't seen him much. He seems to be at the early stage of the Dirty Refining Realm, and he practices the Rolling Stone Fist. I don't know if he practices anything else."

"Pan Chen, mid-stage Iron Bone Realm, has mastered the 'Dissecting Ox Knife Technique

"All three of them are hall masters."

"The other small leaders are all like me, basically at the Bronze Skin Realm. Those who came with me are just ordinary people."

Then, Qian Gui told them all in one go what these people liked, where they lived, what their families were, and information about the other gangs.

They were terrified that if they were even a little slow, they would be chopped off.

This information was not a secret to him, a minor leader of the Green Bamboo Gang.

Lu Chen hadn't expected that among all the gangs in the entire Shahu County, the strongest was actually Lian Zang.

"Young hero, young hero, I've said everything. Can you let me go now? Don't worry, I promise I'll never go back. I'll go to another county right now, go far away, and never come back for the rest of my life!"

When Qian Gui saw that Lu Chen didn't speak, his heart jumped into his throat again. Fearing that Lu Chen would change his mind, he hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Don't rush!"

Lu Chen stepped on Qian Gui's foot and then asked, "Do you know anything about the county magistrate and his ilk? What is their level of power?"

Qian Gui was about to cry.

"Magistrate, Magistrate Hu..." Qian Gui racked his brains, frantically recalling, "Right, the magistrate should be at the Blood Exchange Realm. A couple of years ago, the gang leader had dinner with the magistrate and they seemed to have mentioned it. But what is his strength now? I don't know, I really don't know."

"Okay! Continue!"

"County Magistrate Meng Ping should also be at the Refining Realm, a bit stronger than the gang leader and Wang Hu. He seems to be a master swordsman."

"County Lieutenant Li Ziren wields a long spear, and the soldiers in the county are also under his command. He must also be a corrupt official."

"The registrar's name is Wang Xiong. I... I don't know his abilities. I... I..."

Qian Gui felt the sharp, blood-stained blade against his neck and really wanted to cry.

Lu Chen withdrew his foot and slowly removed the knife from the man's neck.

"Fine, I'll keep my promise. You can go now; I won't kill you this time!"

Qian Gui couldn't believe it.

He thought he was going to die this time.

Unexpectedly, this silly... young hero actually keeps his word!

He was overjoyed.

Damn it, you dare touch me? You wait, next time, it won't be me coming here, you're dead meat!

Your whole family must die!

His resentment spread like wildfire, yet he wore a humble, ingratiating smile as he endured the pain, got up from the ground, and watched Lu Chen turn and leave.

My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

He turned his head and limped forward.

"Pfft!"

The tip of the knife emerged from his heart, and blood dripped down the slit in the blade.

Qian Gui slowly lowered his head, only to feel a sharp pain.

He looked incredulously at the figure that had appeared beside him.

"Damn you, how dare you show your face in front of me! I already let you off the hook the first time, telling you not to show your face in Shahu, and you still don't know how to be grateful? Die!"

Qian Gui: "Damn it..."

Lu Chen drew his knife and kicked Qian Gui's fat body forward.

A quick search of the five people revealed only a dozen or so taels of silver; nothing else.

"What should we do with this body? This is a main road, and someone could come at any time. It's a bit tricky!"

Lu Chen turned his head and looked at the Daqingshan Mountain not far away.

"We still have no choice but to rely on the power of nature!"

He immediately got to work; with his strength of several hundred kilograms, moving some corpses was still quite easy.

Daqingshan is only a few dozen meters away from here.
