Chapter 342: Jia Nanzhu: The teacher is incompetent, there is not much I can do (Seeking

A few days later.

Late at night.

At the entrance of Linhu Village, several figures entered the village silently, without disturbing any villagers.

After these figures entered the village, they headed straight for a certain direction inside the village.

During this period, the teenagers responsible for patrolling the village at night were completely unaware.

"It's these few families. I want not a single living soul left."

In the darkness, a woman's voice came out, carrying gnashing hatred. If it weren't for Lin Chen, she, Huo Shu, a dignified eldest daughter of the Huo Family, would have fallen to the point of becoming Li Zhe's plaything.

A few days ago, she accidentally learned from Li Zhe that Lin Chen was already dead, and she gave birth to the heart of revenge.

Lin Chen is dead, but Lin Chen's family is still there.

She wants to take Lin Chen's family to sacrifice to her dead relatives.

For the past two years, although she had no dignity in front of Li Zhe, relying on the silver money she accumulated when she was the eldest daughter of the Huo Family, and being an Open-Acupuncture martial artist herself, she still recruited several Open-Acupuncture martial artists as subordinates.

"Grandfather, Father, Mother, Younger Brother, today I am going to avenge you. It's a pity I can't kill Lin Chen with my own hands, I can only let his family pay with their lives."

Huo Shu whispered in her heart, and then said: "Do it!"

However, everything around was silent.

Huo Shu was stunned and repeated: "Do it!"

The surroundings were still silent. Just as a bad feeling was born in Huo Shu's heart, she only felt her neck tighten, and her whole person was lifted up.

"Little girl, you are not very old, but your murderous heart is a bit too heavy."

Huo Shu couldn't speak, and saw the night scene around her change. When she could breathe smoothly, she discovered that she had already arrived at the lakeside by the village.

Under the moonlight, her three subordinates were lying on the ground, life or death unknown, and standing in front of her was an old man.

"If the senior is willing to let me go, I am willing to offer ten thousand taels of silver."

Huo Shu opened her mouth to beg for mercy at the first moment. She didn't expect that there was actually a martial arts expert hidden in Linhu Village. In the whole Linhu Village, the only one worthy of a ranked martial artist living here could only be related to Lin Chen.

But even so, she could only try to let go. Ten thousand taels of silver had no small attraction to Ninth Rank or even Eighth Rank martial artists.

"Tell me about your origin. If you don't want to suffer, tell me everything one by one."

Unfortunately, the old man in front of her was unmoved. The other party's calm tone revealed an unquestionable majesty.

Huo Shu still wanted to try to bribe the other party, but before she could speak, the old man pointed a finger, and a strand of energy shot into her chest. The next moment, Huo Shu's expression became ferocious, her whole body trembled, and she could no longer persist and fell to the ground.

At this moment, she felt as painful as ten thousand ants biting her heart, and that energy was constantly ravaging her meridians.

"I...... I will say."

Spitting out a few words with difficulty, the energy in her body disappeared. Huo Shu was already soaked in sweat, panting heavily.

"This is the last chance. The next time you feel the pain, it will be several times what it is now."

The old man's cold voice fell into Huo Shu's ears like a devil's whisper. Huo Shu hurriedly said: "I...... I am a descendant of the Huo Family. My whole family was destroyed because of Lin Chen. This time I came to take revenge...... as long as the senior lets me go, I promise never to take revenge again."

"Raozhou Prefecture Huo Family?"

Jia Nanzhu showed a thoughtful look. When he chose to come to teach Lin Chen martial arts, he also investigated Lin Chen and knew that the Raozhou Prefecture Huo Family targeted Lin Chen, and finally ended up with the destruction of the family.

But that Huo Family was completely asking for it, assassinating Martial Hall disciples, and still a genius who left his name on Mount Wudao. This is not tolerated by the Daliang imperial court.

"Why choose to take revenge now?"

Jia Nanzhu stared at Huo Shu. If it was because Lin Chen was not in Linhu Village, choosing to take revenge at this time, there was no need to wait until now. Since Lin Chen went to the Canglan Martial Academy, the days he returned to the village could be counted on one's fingers.

Associating with Su Lingchuan coming to Linhu Village to bid farewell to himself the day before yesterday, to be transferred away from Poyang County to the battlefield, and even He Ruyun was transferred away, plus Lin Chen's life or death unknown, Jia Nanzhu couldn't help but think more.

Hearing the other party's inquiry, Huo Shu, who was lying on the ground, had a look of resentment flash in her eyes, and said: "Because I heard that Lin Chen is already dead."

Sure enough!

Jia Nanzhu's pupils contracted: "Where did you hear the news?"

The news that Lin Chen entered the formation sealing the Li Fire Path and his life or death was unknown was not revealed to the outside world by the imperial court, and very few people knew about it.

He was able to know because Lord Kong sent him a letter.

When Daliang and the Han Kingdom were at war, if the news of Lin Chen's life or death being unknown was spread, it would also affect Daliang's morale.

"I heard it from Li Zhe. Li Zhe seemed to have let it slip, but actually knew the hatred in my heart for Lin Chen, and deliberately revealed this matter to me, wanting to borrow a knife to kill, letting me kill Lin Chen's family."

Huo Shu already understood in her heart that she couldn't survive. Since she couldn't survive, she would drag everyone she hated in her heart into the water.

She hated Lin Chen, but she also hated Li Zhe.

Since her family was destroyed, Li Zhe's attitude toward her had completely changed. Her status in the Li Family was not even as good as a servant. Besides having to satisfy Li Zhe's bestiality at any time, she also had to suffer his beatings and scoldings.

In the recent days in the Li Family, Li Zhe had lost interest in her and almost never stepped into her courtyard, which made her feel relieved instead. As a result, Li Zhe suddenly came to the courtyard a few days ago, not only was his attitude toward her gentler, but their conversation also mentioned that Lin Chen was dead.

Although Li Zhe stopped talking after saying it, as if he had accidentally let it slip, she wasn't stupid. Li Zhe did this on purpose, the purpose being to want her to take action against Lin Chen's family.

She came to Linhu Village, besides because of her hatred for Lin Chen, it was also because she understood Li Zhe.

If she didn't follow the path Li Zhe designed, she was afraid Li Zhe would humiliate and torture her again.

"Li Zhe revealed it to me in this way. If I killed Lin Chen's family, it would naturally be good. If I couldn't kill them, or if it was exposed and discovered afterward, Li Zhe, including the Li Family, could also clear themselves."

Jia Nanzhu's face was as heavy as water. He believed Huo Shu's words. The transfer of He Ruyun and Su Lingchuan was not something Huo Shu could do. The Li Family's plan was probably to wait for Huo Shu to take action, and then arrange for someone to kill Huo Shu to silence her.

If He Ruyun and Su Lingchuan were still in Poyang County, once something happened to the Lin Family, these two would investigate the matter at the first moment, and it might not be in time to silence her.

"What a Li Family."

Jia Nanzhu radiated coldness. Lin Chen's life or death was unknown, and the Li Family couldn't wait to take action against Lin Chen. If it weren't for the fact that the Li Family didn't know he was staying in Linhu Village, the Li Family's conspiracy would have really succeeded.

He, as a teacher, couldn't enter that sea of fire and couldn't save his disciple. Jia Nanzhu already felt very guilty. "Lin Chen, I, as a teacher, am incompetent and couldn't save you, so I will protect your family for you."

Lin Chen is dead, and Li Zhe is so jealous and hateful of Lin Chen. Now there is him, and Lord Liang looking after Lin Chen's family, but what about after he is buried, after ten...... twenty years......

At that time, Li Zhe would only be middle-aged.

In Jia Nanzhu's eyes, there was cold killing intent.

Although he is old, he can still kill someone.

Hongdu Prefecture, Li Family.

"Young Master, news came from Poyang County that Miss Huo did not come out of Linhu Village."

Li Zhe listened to the steward's report, his face very ugly: "It was my negligence. With Lin Chen's talent, it is highly likely that ranked martial artists were arranged to protect his family's safety. Those subordinates of Huo Shu aren't even at the Organ Cultivation stage, I'm afraid they were discovered."

"Then what about us?"

"It's okay. Huo Shu went to kill Lin Chen's family, it wasn't me who instructed it, I just accidentally let it slip, and I even warned Huo Shu not to have any bad intentions. Our Li Family can clear ourselves."

Li Zhe waved his hand, as if comforting the steward, and also as if comforting himself: "Besides, my father has broken through two ranks and has already stepped into the Fourth Rank. Now that Daliang and the Han Kingdom are at war, it is exactly when ranked martial artists are needed. The imperial court won't do anything to our Li Family. A dead Lin Chen cannot compare to a living Fourth Rank martial artist."

"Young Master, it's best to go to the Old Master's side. Only with the Old Master will there be no accidents."

"Mm, I will set off for my father's side tomorrow."

The next day, early morning.

Hongdu Prefecture city gate, an old man appeared at the city gate. The soldiers responsible for guarding, seeing the old man, bowed and saluted one after another. They didn't know the old man's identity, but the aura emanating from the old man told them that this was a ranked martial artist.

"Such heavy killing intent."

After the old man entered the city, the captain of the gate-guarding soldiers frowned and said: "You all check the people entering the city well, I will go report to the Prefecture Master."

Li Family, Li Zhe packed his luggage early in the morning, preparing to ride the horse led by the steward.

However, just as Li Zhe stepped onto the horse, the white horse suddenly wailed, its four limbs soft, and it fell to the ground.

"Trash."

Li Zhe slapped the horse's head. The white horse couldn't even wail, its whole head shattered directly.

"Change another horse for me."

However, the steward beside him didn't respond. Li Zhe was stunned, his gaze looked behind him, only to find that the steward had also collapsed to the ground.

In an instant, Li Zhe's whole body's hair stood on end. He stomped his right foot, preparing to fly toward the courtyard wall, but his figure had barely left the ground for less than three feet when he fell down.

"Who, which senior is visiting my Li Family?"

By this time, how could Li Zhe not understand that there was an expert targeting him.

As Li Zhe's voice fell, an old figure walked in slowly from the courtyard gate. When he saw this figure, Li Zhe was stunned, and the next moment hurriedly saluted: "This disciple has seen Lord Jia."

Jia Nanzhu, former Deputy Hall Master of the Jiangnan Dao Martial Administration Hall. Because of his father's face, Li Zhe had seen him once when he entered the Martial Hall.

Although a few years had passed and this Lord Jia's face was more aged, he recognized him at a glance.

It wasn't that he had a deep memory of this Lord Jia, but because he had heard that Lord Jia had personally gone to the special training ground to guide Lin Chen in martial arts cultivation.

"Daliang Martial Administration Department laws: those who are jealous of others and harbor evil intentions will be expelled from the Martial Hall, removed from the Martial Administration Department, and those who harbor murderous intent toward fellow disciples will be abolished of their martial arts cultivation for light cases, and executed for heavy cases......"

Jia Nanzhu's cold words made Li Zhe tremble all over, barely supporting a smile: "Lord Jia, this disciple doesn't know what you mean by this?"

"Do I need to say more about Huo Shu taking action against Lin Chen's family?"

"Lord Jia is wronging me."

Li Zhe had a puzzled expression: "This disciple really doesn't know about Huo Shu taking action against Lin Chen's family. Back then, because of competing for the Jiangnan Dao Student Exemplar, there was indeed a competitive relationship, but I wouldn't harbor dissatisfaction with Lin Chen because of a competitive relationship. Back then, when the Huo Family wanted to take action against Lin Chen, our Li Family even specifically reported this matter to the Martial Administration Department."

"This disciple also admires Lin Chen and has always taken Lin Chen as an example......"

"Why say these words in front of this old man? You can deceive others with these words, but you can't deceive this old man."

Jia Nanzhu shook his head, interrupting Li Zhe's words, his right hand slowly raised.

Seeing this, Li Zhe understood that he couldn't pretend anymore, and hurriedly said: "Lord Jia, even if you suspect this disciple, you shouldn't use personal feelings against this disciple. My father, as a Fourth Rank martial artist, is now fighting against Han Kingdom martial artists on the battlefield for Daliang. If you kill me, how will you explain to the imperial court? Aren't you afraid of causing an uproar in the world and making other martial artists feel cold?"

Pretending to be stupid was useless, Li Zhe could only threaten with these words.

If he is killed, his father will definitely not let it go, and there is no evidence to prove that he instructed Huo Shu. If it really goes to the imperial court, he can also survive.

Unfortunately, Li Zhe guessed Jia Nanzhu's thoughts wrong.

"If you die, I will go find your father."

From the moment he walked out of Linhu Village, Jia Nanzhu had already made a decision. He wanted to kill not only Li Zhe, but also Li Zhe's father, Li Yuan.

Only when both father and son are dead will Lin Chen's family have no worries.

As for the imperial court, Lord Liang's side, when the time comes, he will seek a battle with the Han Kingdom martial artist on the battlefield and apologize with death.

Jia Nanzhu raised his right hand, and in Li Zhe's terrified eyes, pointed a finger.

"No!"
