The Corpse Driver of Western Hunan: My profession panel has no upper limit.

Immediately, Lin Tianzheng coughed a few times while rubbing his chest. His ears twitched slightly, and before he could notice anything unusual outside the door, he spoke up: "It's very simple. Ren Zhenxing doesn't want the rest of the Ren family to know that he and Li Duwu killed Master Ren."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become the head of the Ren family. Ren Bochang was in charge of everything in the Ren family before his death, and he felt that colluding with warlords was not a good thing."

"So he was dealing with the warlords, but not maintaining close ties with them. However, Ren Zhenxing's ambitions didn't stop there. He was in a relationship with one of Hu Qiang's daughters and worked closely with Hu Qiang."

"Then they created the illusion that Ren Bochang had died suddenly. If it weren't for the Ren family's rule that the dead must be buried in the ancestral grave, Ren Bochang's body would have been laid to rest long ago."

"After Ren Bochang died, Ren Zhenxing, as the eldest son, naturally became the person in charge of the Ren family. Although his mother, Xu Wenjing, did not like his close association with Hu Qiang, she turned a blind eye because of Ren Zhenxing's insistence and persuasion."

"If his mother and the rest of the Ren family knew that Ren Zhenxing was a beast who murdered his own father, even if he was the eldest son, he would not be able to remain the head of the Ren family."

Hearing these words, Lu Jin nodded. "That's why he asked me to transport the corpses so quickly, and that's why his killing intent was so strong when I insisted on leaving tonight."

"Because he felt that Master and I had discovered something, or that if we delayed for even one more day, we would be at risk of being exposed. In addition, there was the old grudge between Li Tianlei and Master, so they had no choice but to kill us."

"Um."

Lin Tianzheng nodded indifferently, "Ah Lu, your intuition is quite accurate. Fortunately, you and I took the initiative this time, otherwise who knows how much trouble we would have in the future."

Thinking of this, Lin Tianzheng felt fortunate and became even more optimistic about Lu Jin's future. With his high talent, decisive and ruthless nature, and sensitivity to crises, he was truly a person capable of great things.

There are many geniuses in this world, but many of them die young.

"I have another question: where did the Heart-Eating Gu come from?" Lu Jin raised an eyebrow.

Lin Tianzheng slowly said, "It was given by Hu Qiang. As for where Hu Qiang got it from, Li Tianlei doesn't know either. However, Hu Qiang promised Ren Zhenxing and Li Tianlei that if things go well, he can help them reshape their bones and improve their aptitude."

"Where did Hu Qiang get such great skills?"

Lu Jin was somewhat surprised. No wonder Li Tianlei wanted to participate in this. If he reshaped his bones, even if his thoughts were not clear, he would have a very high probability of entering the Transformation Realm.

For martial arts masters like them who rely on internal strength, the allure is immense.

After reaching the Transformation Realm, the intent of the fist can influence the world in a small area, the blood and qi become vigorous again, lifespan increases, and the power can be released outward according to the strength of the martial artist. The powerful can kill people from tens of meters away.

"I don't know."

Lin Tianzheng shook his head and immediately spat out a mouthful of turbid blood: "It's time to go to the Ren residence. Anyway, the matter has been resolved. As for what other schemes they may have, it has nothing to do with us."

Lu Jin thought it made sense, so he made some preparations, packed his luggage and bags, and headed towards the Ren residence.

Inside the mourning hall of the Ren family mansion, many people were already getting impatient, and Madam Xu Wenjing of the Ren family was even more uneasy. Now that the gunfire in the city had stopped, but the steward Wang Fu had not yet returned with Ren Zhenxing, and her bad premonition was getting stronger.

At that very moment, before the person even arrived, the mournful cry of the Dark Force martial artist resounded.

"Madam, Second Young Master! Something terrible has happened!!"

When Wang Fu's voice came through, Xu Wenjing's heart skipped a beat. The next second, the butler, Wang Fu, appeared before them, his face filled with panic. Ren Yang quickly asked, "Uncle Fu, what's wrong? Why are you so panicked?"

"Second Young Master... Madam... Eldest Young Master... Eldest Young Master... him."

"What's wrong, young master?" Xu Wenqing's beautiful eyes widened as she suddenly stood up.

"Young Master... he was just helping Commander Hu hunt down a wanted criminal when that scoundrel... took his life!"

Upon hearing this, the crimson color on Xu Wenjing's face vanished instantly, replaced by a face even paler than the corpse of Ren Bochang lying quietly to her side. It was as if she had been struck by lightning, causing her to faint on the spot.

"lady!"

"mother!"

Ren Yang reacted quickly, supporting Xu Wenjing. His pupils widened, and he asked in disbelief, his voice trembling, "Uncle Fu, my older brother... he... is he really dead?"

"Young Master... his internal organs and meridians were all severed, and he was powerless to fight back against that villain."

In an instant, Ren Yang staggered, but luckily he grabbed the arms of the people around him to avoid collapsing to the ground. Then, a group of thugs appeared at the door, carrying Ren Zhenxing's body over. Even Hu Qiang himself led the group over.

Upon witnessing Ren Zhenxing's gruesome death, Ren Yang felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, but the other illegitimate children all showed a hint of joy in their eyes.

With Ren Zhenxing dead and Ren Yang too young, it seems they can now contend for the Ren family's power.

"Big brother—!"

With a bang, Ren Yang rushed to Ren Zhenxing's body and burst into tears. Just then, Lu Jin and Lin Tianzheng arrived at the scene. Upon seeing this, Lu Jin pretended to be greatly shocked.

"What...what's going on! Who has the audacity to kill Brother Zhenxing?"

"Master Lu is here." Hu Qiang smiled and stared at Lu Jin for a few moments, making Lu Jin feel a little uncomfortable. However, he quickly looked away and helped Ren Yang up.

"Young Master Ren, please accept my condolences. I have executed the thief on the spot. This was Blind Luo's revenge against me. He not only murdered Zhenxing, but also arranged for someone to murder Master Li."

"Please rest assured, everyone, if I, Hu Qiang, do not avenge this wrong, I will have failed as the official in charge of Anyang!"

Hu Qiang spoke with great passion, but when Ren Yang heard the news that his master Li Tianlei had also died, he froze completely and it took him a long time to recover.

"Where is that thief's body? I'll tear him to pieces!" Ren Yang's eyes were red, his teeth were clenched, and his expression was somewhat ferocious and crazy.

"Don't worry, I'll send that thief's body to the Ren residence later. You can do whatever you want with it."

"Thank you, Commander."

At this moment, Madam Xu Wenjing also regained consciousness. After seeing Ren Zhenxing's corpse, her face seemed devoid of any sign of life.

"This is what I should do. If your Ren family encounters any difficulties in the future, you can come to me. I will also need your Ren family's support in eliminating the bandits in the surrounding area!"

After saying this, Hu Qiang exchanged a few more pleasantries and left. Lu Jin and Lin Tian exchanged glances, thinking that Hu Qiang was quick to speak.

The murderer was a man of Luo the Blind, a warlord from the neighboring county. It was probably just a pretext to send troops, while making the Ren family provide full financial support as a matter of course.

As for the so-called execution of the murderer on the spot, it is probably a scapegoat that Hu Qiang found somewhere. However, it is not easy to find a scapegoat who can kill Ren Zhenxing so easily. Hu Qiang has also paid a price this time.

"They're all shrewd people; none of them are simpletons who can make a name for themselves in this chaotic world."

Thinking of this, Lu Jin's desire for power intensified even further. The world is unpredictable, and nothing is up to us.

Only by becoming stronger can we achieve eternity.

Just as Lu Jin was deep in thought, Xu Wenjing suddenly spoke, interrupting his thoughts.

"Master Lu, please take Zhenxing's body back this time as well. Our Ren family will contribute another 300 silver dollars. Our Ren family will set off overnight to return to the ancestral graves, hold a simple ceremony, and bury him with his father."

"Yes, please accept my condolences."

Staring at Ren Zhenxing's corpse, Lu Jin felt a slight smile.

Look, I beat you to death with my own hands, and your family still has to pay me to send you off on your final journey.

Grief enveloped the Ren family mansion. Ren Yang forced himself to steady himself, took out a jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to Lu Jin. "Brother Lu Jin, this is what I had a ritual performed for by a high monk in our Anyang County yesterday."

"I've heard that there's a faceless Yama in Jade Dragon Mountain, and many people have gone in and never come out alive, including many powerful martial artists."

"Take it, Brother Lu Jin. I don't know if it will be useful, but it's better than nothing."

"Be careful. I've heard that the Faceless Yama is incredibly powerful. I just lost my older brother, and I don't want to see Brother Lu Jin die a violent death as well."

"Don't worry, if that Faceless Yama dares to come, I'll make sure he doesn't leave alive!"

Seeing Ren Yang's concern, Lu Jin smiled. The two brothers were quite different.

Ultimately, however, he did not sense any killing intent from Ren Yang or anyone else in the Ren family. Otherwise, he would not have cared about these things and would still have sought an opportunity to slaughter the entire Ren family.

Without lingering, Lu Jin used two specially made bamboo poles and his corpse-driving skills to make Ren Bochang and Ren Zhenxing, who were dressed in white cloth, stand upright. Then he left Anyang County with Lin Tianzheng.

After they left, Xu Wenjing called Ren Yang to a private room.

"A-Yang".

"Mother, what is it?"

"You must become stronger to avenge your elder brother."

"Didn't Commander Hu say that the traitor who killed my elder brother was dead?!" Ren Yang's heart trembled violently.

At that moment, Xu Wenjing revealed a chilling smile. "No, he just left the Ren residence!"
