Blood Feud and Framing!

How could Lu Ze have such a master by his side? Could it be that Lin Feihu personally took action?

But how could Lin Feihu possibly know that he was going to send someone to kill Lu Ze?

Or perhaps He Ting was just unlucky and encountered a knife expert who was on business nearby, and was accidentally silenced?

Song Linfeng pondered for a long time, but remained puzzled.

Then, he looked at Tong Huai and said, "No matter the reason, Uncle Tong, you must personally kill Lu Ze for me!"

However, Tong Huai said, "Second Young Master, if the skilled swordsman who killed He Ting was Lu Ze's bodyguard, or even Lu Ze himself, then this person's identity and background are extraordinary, and we must not act rashly. Moreover, according to my investigation, Lu Ze has already joined the Demon Suppression Guard and has obtained an official position in the imperial court. If you lay a hand on him, in order to uphold the dignity of the Demon Suppression Guard, even the centurions and chiliarchs of the Demon Suppression Guard will not let you off!"

Upon hearing this, Song Linfeng's face darkened. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Lu Ze's sudden joining of the Demon Suppression Guard at this time must be because he fears the Song family and is afraid of retaliation. Therefore, He Ting's death must be related to him! Although I cannot personally deal with him, the Demon Suppression Guard is not a monolithic entity! Uncle Tong, contact his direct superior, Xiao Qi, I'm going to destroy him!"

Upon hearing this, Tong Huai said with satisfaction, "Second Young Master is wise and insightful!"

……

An hour later, under the blazing sun, it was already noon.

At this moment, in a private room on the second floor of a restaurant.

Song Linfeng and Xiaoqi Xiangchen were sitting together drinking.

Song Linfeng raised his glass and said, "Brother Xiang, I'm entrusting this matter to you!"

After downing a cup of wine, Xiang Chen laughed and said, "Don't worry, Young Master Song, I'll definitely make sure Lu Ze can't stay in the Demon Suppression Guard. Without that tiger skin, killing him will be a piece of cake for Young Master Song!"

He was truly delighted at this moment. Not only could he get rid of the person he hated, but he could also befriend Song Linfeng, a young master from a prominent family, and obtain a good reward—killing two birds with one stone.

Meanwhile, the Lu family...

Lu Ze stopped cultivating and started cooking. He ate with Lu Xuan, but instead of going to the Black Tiger Martial Arts School, he went to his second senior sister Zhao Yueling's house to spar with her.

His Black Tiger Soul Blade and Thunderous Nine Transformations are not suitable for exposure and are not suitable for cultivation at the Black Tiger Martial Arts Hall. It would be more appropriate to spar with Zhao Yueling, which can greatly improve his cultivation efficiency.

Cultivation is important, but martial arts skills are also an important part of strength. He plans to master these two supreme martial arts techniques as soon as possible!

At this moment, Zhao Yueling was cultivating at home. When she saw Lu Ze arrive, she didn't say anything, but immediately activated her sparring mode, drew her hundred-refined sword from her waist, and launched an attack on Lu Ze.

Lu Ze was forced to draw his sword and fight.

However, during this encounter, Lu Ze discovered that Zhao Yueling's movement speed and sword speed had increased dramatically.

Especially her movement speed, which far surpasses that of a martial arts master, suggests that she has made a breakthrough in the Nine Transformations of Thunder and may be close to achieving minor mastery!

Second Senior Sister's martial arts talent is truly not to be underestimated!

The two finally stopped sparring after a full hour.

At this moment, Lu Ze clasped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Second Senior Sister, on breaking through to the Refining Realm Martial Master!"

If Zhao Yueling hadn't broken through to the Refining Realm and condensed her Qi and Blood Power, her movement speed and sword-drawing speed would never have achieved such astonishing progress.

"I only recently broke through to a higher level myself! But compared to a freak like you, my strength is still far too weak!"

As Zhao Yueling spoke, she couldn't help but sigh.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze couldn't help but ask, "Second Senior Sister, I always feel that you have an extreme desire for martial arts and strength. Is there any reason for that?"

It's really strange that a 28-year-old woman isn't in a hurry to get married, but instead is focused on studying Qi and Blood Martial Arts.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yueling remained silent for a moment before saying, "I was originally a young lady from a wealthy family in the outer city, but one night sixteen years ago, my whole family was killed by the Green Snake Gang. I survived only by hiding in a well. Later, my master came to my house, found me, and took me as his disciple."

She paused, then continued, "It was from my master that I learned that the one who slaughtered my entire Zhao family was Chang Qing, the former leader of the Divine Peak Hall sixteen years ago, and now the leader of the Green Snake Gang! Sixteen years have passed, and I have never forgotten this blood feud!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze remained silent for a moment before saying, "Don't worry, Senior Sister. The Green Snake Gang is also my enemy. I'll help you with this revenge. I'll make sure you kill Chang Qing with your own hands!"

He hadn't forgotten how he was almost driven to desperation by an ordinary disciple of the Green Snake Gang. He would make everyone in the Green Snake Gang pay for this debt with their lives!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yueling looked at Lu Ze with a serious expression and said, "Junior brother, if you can really help me avenge myself, from now on, my life is yours. No matter what you want to do, I will help you!"

Lu Ze didn't refuse outright, but instead smiled and said, "Senior Sister, there's no need to be impatient. At most, it will take six months for you to get your revenge!"

If his senior sister is truly willing to serve him, he will have another powerful helper who can protect his family.

After resting for a while, Lu Ze sparred with Zhao Yueling for another hour before checking his attribute panel: Thunderclap Nine Transformations (Minor Success 89%) and Black Tiger Fierce Soul Blade (Minor Success 92%).

These two unique skills are not far from Chengdu!

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ze returned home, took out a low-grade essence pill and swallowed it, and began to practice the nine forms of the Black Tiger Body Tempering Fist.

An hour and a half later, he refined two Essence Pills and checked his attribute panel: Skin Refining (44%, Minor Success).

With the initial success of the skin refining process, the skin has become more resilient, and the strength has also increased significantly.

As for the accumulated toxins in the body, they will soon be washed away as the supreme yang internal energy of the Nine Yang Golden Body Technique circulates automatically.

Half an hour later, Lu Ze ate dinner, changed into a Pixiu robe and a demon-repelling knife, and headed to the Demon-Suppressing Guard's Office.

He went to the warehouse, intending to buy two inferior talismans for warding off evil.

If you happen to encounter a terrifying ghost at the Qi Refining Realm level again, you can quickly upgrade to a low-grade exorcising talisman.

The key point is that the inferior talismans from the Hundred Household Office can be purchased with silver notes, 5 taels each, which is not expensive at all.

Lu Ze bought two inferior talismans for warding off evil spirits and then went to the courtyard to meet up with Feng Yue, Hu Hai, Dong Yu and others.

Just then, a squad of Demon Suppression Guards approached Lu Ze. The middle-aged guard at the head of the squad said coldly, "Lu Ze, your misdeeds have been exposed. Come with us!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze said in a deep voice, "Even if you want to frame me, you should at least have a crime to prove it. It can't just be something baseless, can it?"

At this moment, Feng Yue said, "That's right, make it clear, otherwise no one will be able to take Brother Lu away."

Hu Hai, Dong Yu, Li Qinian, and the others also chimed in, "Explain yourself!"

Just then, Xiao Qi walked over with a middle-aged man, smiling, "Lu Ze, look who he is!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze looked over and discovered that it was Butcher Li, but the man's gaze was somewhat evasive and he seemed guilty.

He had a vague idea in his mind, then said coldly, "Xiang Xiaoqi, spit it out!"

Xiang Chen said, "Lu Ze, this butcher Li Wu has reported you for using your martial arts skills to forcibly steal pork. Many neighbors near Butcher Li's house also saw you take pork from his house and leave. The evidence is irrefutable. You'd better go with the enforcement team to avoid them taking action."
