Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing Zhang Huchen's explanation, not only were the Li father and son surprised, but even Lu Feng, who was watching the show from the sidelines, was also puzzled.

"Zhang Huchen, what do you mean by this?"

Lu Feng glanced at Zhang Huchen, who was lying on the ground, badly injured, and said meaningfully, "These villagers of Lychee Village are just a group of ordinary mortals with no cultivation. If the Holy Sect you speak of is truly that powerful, why are you targeting these defenseless villagers of Lychee Village..."

"Zhang is merely an insignificant soldier under the Holy Church. His daily task is simply to fulfill the church's orders and recruit more new members. He knows nothing else..."

At this point, Zhang Huchen slightly raised his eyelids and looked at the Li father and son beside him again, his tone becoming increasingly weak, "In addition, the former sect leader also issued a decree that no one is allowed to reveal even the slightest information about the Holy Sect, and those who violate this will be executed without mercy...!"

"So even if Zhang lets Village Chief Li and the villagers of Lizhi Village go today, other Wusheng Sect martial artists will come looking for them and then massacre the village to silence them...!"

"Zhang Gou'er, so it was you...!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yu seemed to have realized something, and his eyes widened immediately.

At first, he had some questions in his mind. Why did Zhang Huchen, who clearly had a hundred ways to kill him, still delay and instead keep urging him to lead the villagers of Lizhi to join the Wusheng Sect?

It turns out that the other party was not heartless, but had no other choice!

After all, the doctrine of the Wusheng Sect stipulates that no one may reveal any information about the Holy Sect, and the Li family and the villagers of Lizhi Village already know of the existence of Zhang Huchen and others.

Therefore, after the Li father and son refused to join the Wusheng Sect, Zhang Huchen was forced to massacre the village in order to avoid exposing any information about the Wusheng Sect.

"Remnants of the demonic cult! No matter how many reasons you have, it cannot change the fact that your hands are stained with countless blood debts!"

Li Wen, still furious, clearly wouldn't forgive Zhang Huchen just because of his few words.

"Brother Li Wen, you're right, so I, Zhang, will not live a life of dishonor."

Glancing at Li Wen, whose anger had not yet subsided, Zhang Huchen said calmly, "Let's do it. And while we're at it, let's avenge the innocent villagers of Lychee Village who died so tragically. From the moment I joined the Wusheng Sect, I foresaw this day would come..."

"Zhang Gou'er, I still don't understand why you joined the Demonic Sect, why you became an accomplice to evil, what have you been through all these years..."

Seeing Zhang Huchen determined to die, Li Yu, standing to the side, frowned, his aged face full of incomprehension.

Although almost twenty years have passed, he still habitually calls Zhang Huchen by his childhood name. Back then, the other party was not a martial artist, but just a beggar who was homeless and starving.

When Zhang Huchen arrived in Lizhi Village begging, it was the dead of winter, and he was almost frozen to death on the street. Li Yu, who was the village chief at the time, took pity on him and took him home, providing him with some food and clothing.

Not long after, Zhang Huchen left Lychee Village alone and disappeared without a trace. Even Li Yu thought he was dead and never expected that Zhang Huchen would join the Wusheng Sect.

"Village Chief Li, you're wrong! The Wusheng Sect is not the demonic sect you claim it to be, but rather the faith of all beings, a divine kingdom on earth...!"

Upon hearing Li Yu slander the Wusheng Sect, Zhang Huchen, who had been on the verge of death, suddenly became agitated, veins bulging on his forehead. "I used to be so weak, less than an ant! Anyone could easily bully me, even take my life...!"

"Not long after I left Lychee Village, I met Xiaohui. We not only fell in love, but we also quickly became husband and wife. But just as I was imagining our future together, all of that vanished...!"

"Xiao Hui is dead! She was brutally raped and killed by a group of martial artists of unknown origin, and I could do nothing but watch helplessly as the woman I loved died tragically before my eyes...!"

"From that moment on, my heart was consumed by nothing but revenge, and only the Unborn Sect could give me the power of revenge, and at the same time allow me to truly control my own destiny, hahahahahaha....!"

Zhang Huchen's eyes were bloodshot, and the next moment he threw his head back and laughed, his face gradually twisting into a cruel expression. "Village Chief Li, you probably don't understand how wonderful it feels to have your revenge fulfilled...!"

"Those martial artists who killed Xiaohui, not a single one of them escaped. I personally snapped their necks one by one and then tore them to pieces. Hahahaha...!"

"Zhang Gou'er, you....!"

Facing Zhang Huchen, who was almost in a state of madness, Li Yu also frowned and had a complicated expression.

He originally thought that Zhang Huchen had gone astray by joining the Wusheng Sect and becoming an accomplice to evil, but he never expected that the other party would be burdened with such deep hatred!

"Zhang Huchen, although I sympathize with your past experiences, that doesn't change the fact that you joined the demonic cult and became its accomplice. The blood debts on your hands still need to be repaid...!"

Li Wen stepped forward and said in a gloomy tone.

"Young brother Li Wen, you are still young... you simply cannot understand the power of the Holy Church...!"

Glancing at Li Wen, Zhang Huchen still spoke with a devout expression, seemingly his worship of the Wusheng Sect surpassing everything else, "In this unjust world, only by converting to the Holy Sect is there a way out, and only the Holy Sect can truly save the people from suffering..."

Pfft...!

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Huchen felt a sweet taste in his throat again, and immediately began vomiting blood once more. At the same time, his head slumped down limply, and he seemed to be close to death.

"Young man, is Zhang Gou'er still alive...?"

Seeing this, Li Yu's old face changed slightly, but Lu Feng shook his head slightly, "There's no hope. His internal organs have all been shattered by my Yuan Power. Even if I don't kill him with my own hands, he won't live for more than a quarter of an hour."

Although Lu Feng didn't know what kind of evil magic the Wusheng Sect had used to brainwash the once honest and simple Zhang Huchen into this state, there was an old saying that was very true: "A life for a life, a debt for a debt" is a matter of course!

In the past, Zhang Huchen joined the Wusheng Sect to aid and abet tyranny, and his hands were stained with countless blood debts. Now he is facing this calamity, which is also the cycle of karma!

"No, it's no use...!"

Suddenly, Zhang Huchen slowly raised his head again, looking at the Li father and son opposite him, as if he had only one breath left. "Village Chief Li, don't worry about me... Take the remaining villagers and escape..."

"During this trip to Lychee Village, the Wusheng Sect not only failed to absorb any new blood, but also suffered heavy losses. Given Master Sun's temper, he will definitely not let you off easily...!"

"Village Chief Li, please hear me out one last time, hurry... or it will truly be too late...!"

Zhang Huchen's lips were purple, and his eyelids were trembling. He seemed to be holding on to his last breath and would close his eyes completely in the next second.

"From what you're saying, there's someone even more powerful above you?"

Seeing this, Lu Feng stepped forward and tentatively asked.

"No, that's right...!"

Zhang Huchen spoke haltingly, his breath coming in short gasps, "The Wusheng Sect has several branches within the Western Qin Kingdom. Each branch, from highest to lowest rank, is designated by the characters 'Sun, Moon, and Stars.' The branch I belong to is the 'Chen' branch, and its leader is named Sun Chuanxiong..."

"Rumor has it that this person's cultivation has already reached the tenth level of the Meridian Opening Realm, second only to experts in the Spirit Soul Realm...!"

"Although you are quite capable, you are still no match for Sun Chuanxiong, and you are even less able to protect these villagers of Lychee Village. You'd better leave as soon as possible... uh!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Huchen's face turned pale, and he vomited blood again. Then his head fell heavily to the ground, and he stopped breathing completely.

"Is there another branch of the Wusheng Sect nearby? Looks like my chance to make a fortune has arrived..."

Seeing Zhang Huchen die, Lu Feng merely stroked his chin, remaining standing still, seemingly with no intention of leaving.

Because murder and robbery are always one of the fastest ways to make money!

Just as Zhang Huchen said on his deathbed, the Wusheng Sect would retaliate sooner or later, and if Lu Feng stayed in Lychee Village to wait for them, he could undoubtedly make a big profit!
