Chapter 133: Is This the Point?

Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Is This the Point?

The surrounding people were completely stunned.

Whether it was Lu Yuan’s rapidly advancing Cultivation, his choice to practice the Thunder Blade Triple Annihilation, or his consecutive killing of two Seventh Grade martial artists, all of it was simply unbelievable. Especially the latter—normally, it was absolutely impossible.

Perhaps while Chen Qiang was fighting the Seventh Grade martial artists, Lu Yuan took the opportunity to launch sneak attacks. A total of five Seventh Grade experts had appeared, but no one said they had showed up at the exact same time. If they came one after another in sequence, there would have been an opportunity.

Cao Cong’s gaze fell on the Wind Thunder Saber. "Where did you get this Wind Thunder Saber?"

Wind Thunder Sabers from the Demon Suppression Bureau had to be exchanged using Contribution Points. They were very hard to buy outside.

"You really know what to focus on, sir. Is that the main point here?" Lu Yuan sneered.

"Answer my question!" Cao Cong’s gaze turned icy.

Qin Gang’s eyes flickered. He roughly knew the answer, he just wasn’t sure if it was within the rules.

"I gave it to him," Yan Qing said as he appeared.

"Master Yan." Cao Cong’s expression changed slightly upon seeing Yan Qing.

This person was not ordinary; he was a weapon-forging genius!

"Why are you here, Master Yan? Also, why did you give him a Wind Thunder Saber? This doesn’t seem to follow the rules, does it?"

"I bought the Wind Thunder Stone for this Wind Thunder Saber myself and forged it in my own courtyard. I gave it to my junior brother as a greeting gift. What part of that breaks the rules?" Yan Qing asked.

"Junior brother?" Cao Cong immediately caught the key detail. "Are you saying Lu Yuan is your junior brother?"

"That’s right. Lu Yuan has already been accepted as a disciple by my master, making him my junior brother," Yan Qing answered firmly.

SWISH. SWISH.

The expressions of many people present changed. Some were suddenly enlightened, some were envious, and others were jealous...

Yan Qing was a genius artisan, and it was said that his master was a Grand Artisan... Being accepted as a disciple by a Grand Artisan was practically like taking off from the ground and ascending to the heavens in a single step. No wonder Lu Yuan dared to be so arrogant and shout inside the Demon Suppression Bureau, and even directly confront Hundred-Man Commander Cao.

Cao Cong’s face looked somewhat ugly. This was something he hadn’t anticipated, or rather, he hadn’t really taken Lu Yuan seriously at all. But now...

"Heh heh, so that’s how it is. This wasn’t registered, so I wasn’t aware."

"It’s fine. My junior brother is low-key and doesn’t like to show off." Yan Qing also didn’t want to offend a Fifth Grade expert for no reason.

"There are three things that must be done right now!" Lu Yuan suddenly calmed down. "First, send people to the scene immediately to preserve evidence, collect clues, and thoroughly investigate the entire sequence of events. Do not let a single person involved off the hook.

"Second, I am going to raid the Sunx Family! I will apprehend everyone in the Sunx Family and bring them to justice..."

Cao Cong opened his mouth but said nothing. He would treat it as giving face to a Grand Artisan.

"I will personally lead a team to the mine!" Qin Gang said immediately.

"Please go with them as well, Senior Brother," Lu Yuan said, bowing respectfully to Yan Qing.

"Alright," Yan Qing nodded. He belonged to the Artisan Workshop and had no authority to investigate cases, but he could tag along to take a look.

"Third..." Lu Yuan lifted Chen Qiang down from the horse’s back and carefully placed him on the ground. "I’ll talk about it when I get back."

SWISH.

Lu Yuan vaulted onto his horse and left immediately, heading straight for the Sunx Family.

Cao Cong’s expression was ugly as he stared at Lu Yuan’s retreating back without saying a word. Lin Qingfeng’s future son-in-law had now also become the disciple of a Grand Artisan... It seemed he was going to become a major threat.

"Sir..." Wang Zhong stepped forward.

"Mhm." Cao Cong glanced at Wang Zhong, suddenly forming an idea in his mind.

When Lu Yuan arrived at the Sunx Family estate, there were still over a dozen members of the Sunx Family present. Perhaps Sunx Haisheng and Sunx Jin hadn’t expected him to be able to fight his way out of such a situation.

"Demon Suppression Bureau! What are you doing here?" The Sunx Family members spotted Lu Yuan. Seeing his face full of murderous intent and his body covered in blood, they instantly knew it was nothing good.

"Sunx Haisheng and Sunx Jin colluded with an Evil Cult and joined forces with Demon Martials to besiege and kill martial artists of the Demon Suppression Bureau! Now, everyone in the Sunx Family is to be apprehended and brought back to the Demon Suppression Bureau for trial!" Sitting on his horse, Lu Yuan gripped his Wind Thunder Saber. "Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

The word "killed" instantly chilled the surroundings for hundreds of meters, as if the temperature had suddenly plummeted a few degrees.

"You..." An Eighth-Grade Martial Artist of the Sunx Family refused to accept this. When had they ever suffered such bullying?

SLASH.

Lu Yuan swung his saber, and a Thunder Blade shot out for over ten meters.

BANG.

The man was instantly sent flying and heavily injured.

"Does anyone else have objections?"

All the Sunx Family members kept quiet out of fear, not daring to speak. All the experts and elites of the Sunx Family were already gone. What could they possibly use to fight Lu Yuan?

However, there was one awkward detail: Lu Yuan had come completely alone. How to escort these people was a problem.

"Find a rope and tie yourselves up!" Lu Yuan ordered. "Anyone who tries to flee will be killed!"

The Sunx Family members didn’t dare to argue and did as they were told. Thirty minutes later, Lu Yuan rode his horse, herding over a dozen members of the Sunx Family back to the Demon Suppression Bureau.

As soon as he entered the gate...

"Jianng Hongfei has returned. He is being questioned by Hundred-Man Commander Cao, Elder Wu, and Director Fengg," Han Li said, walking over to remind him.

Lu Yuan wasn’t surprised. He had asked Jianng Hongfei to send Liu Zhi back to the Liu Family for Liu Lianyue to treat, so Jianng Hongfei was bound to return afterward. And the Demon Suppression Bureau naturally had to interrogate him thoroughly.

He just hoped Jianng Hongfei wouldn’t spout any nonsense...

"Thanks."

Lu Yuan first sent the Sunx Family members into the cells to be locked up. He returned his horse. Then, he went to the training grounds where he usually practiced and stood there quietly.

In just half a day, everything had changed. He didn’t want to go look at Chen Qiang...

He had personally felt how Chen Qiang’s aura had faded away bit by bit. It was incredibly helpless and agonizing. Pills, Martial Arts—nothing had worked.

He didn’t know what else he could do. People from the Chen Family would definitely come later; perhaps they had already arrived. What would they look like? How much pain would they be in? As a survivor, he didn’t know how to face them. At least, at this very moment, he didn’t know how to deal with it.

"I’m going to cause trouble for the Yu Family. Are you coming?" Jianng Hongfei appeared, gritting his teeth. The injuries on his body were all given by Yu Qiuyang, and he had almost died.

"Go by yourself," Lu Yuan shook his head. Yu Qiuyang deserved to die, but the Yu Family... With the Jianng Family and the Liu Family causing trouble for them, that should be enough for them to suffer. The Yu Family was far beyond comparison to the Sunx Family; they were a Fifth-Grade Noble Family.

"Alright." Jianng Hongfei nodded and turned around. "That Hundred-Man Commander Cao seems to harbor ill intentions toward you. Watch your back."

"He’s just a coward," Lu Yuan sneered. Unable to defeat Lin Qingfeng, he came looking for trouble with him instead...

Jianng Hongfei’s eyelids twitched. He really dared to say that. That was a Hundred-Man Commander, an expert in the Celestial Human Realm. He shook his head and left quickly.

Not long after, sure enough, the Chen Family arrived to collect the body, as Lu Yuan could hear faint sobbing from the training grounds.

Soon after, Qin Gang, Yan Qing, and the others returned.

"Here, these are your saber, bow, and arrows." Yan Qing returned Lu Yuan’s equipment. "Those people all died under a Wind Thunder Saber. Chen Qiang didn’t kill them."

"I killed them," Lu Yuan admitted. There was nothing to hide. The traces at the scene were obvious, and Jianng Hongfei had probably confessed everything anyway.

"You... really exceeded my expectations," Yan Qing said, his expression complex.

He couldn’t figure out how Lu Yuan had done it; no one who went to inspect the scene could. According to the traces at the scene, the strongest power erupted by the Wind Thunder Saber had exceeded the limits of the Seventh Grade. It was absolutely impossible for an Eighth-Grade Martial Artist to achieve that!

He originally thought his junior brother needed his protection, but it turned out he could already hold his own.

"We only found the corpses of Sunx Haisheng and three Demon Martials. The one called Ghost Fang is missing."
