Chapter 629: Transferring Cultivation to Plot Against the Enemy

Under the starry night, the procession of villagers migrating out of Zhou Family Village moved like a weaving shuttle, the livestock and villagers appearing in an endless stream.

The great battle just moments ago had nearly destroyed the village, and many villagers, struck by fear, actually changed their minds and joined the large migration group.

"After today, Zhou Family Village will cease to exist."

A weight lifted from Zhou You's heart, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Qinghua, standing to the side, said with a hint of apology, "Master Zhou, it is my fault for involving your hometown in this disaster."

"Once I return to my family, I will certainly compensate you handsomely."

The influence of the Beixuan Zhu is vast, covering the Northern Six Prefectures; their power is terrifying, creating a chasm-like gap between them and other noble families.

The resources they command are unimaginable to outsiders; if they truly wanted to compensate someone, even a penniless beggar could leap to become the richest person in the world. But, this is not what Zhou You wants.

"The enemy will arrive in a few days; you had better make preparations early."

Zhou You kindly reminded Zhu Qinghua that Zhou Family Village was no place to stay for long.

This area is close to the front lines, with Witch tribes approaching at any time, and now with the pursuit of Strong Martial experts of unknown allegiance, the situation for this clanswoman of the Beixuan Zhu is precarious.

Considering the favor of the Fucheng Monarch having provided him with Instruction, Zhou You had already done his utmost by lending a hand; he had no interest in being involved too deeply.

Zhu Qinghua nodded and said, "The enemy came with great momentum and had planned this for a long time; they scattered my guards and pursued me all the way, forcing me to flee alone."

"Once the Strong Martial experts in the clan receive the news and arrive to support me, they will certainly annihilate that band of Strong Martial ruffians from Buguo Wu."

Buguo Wu, is that the auction house I have heard of? Curiosity arose in Zhou You's heart, and upon further questioning, he learned that the Strong Martial experts pursuing Zhu Qinghua were a gang, the very participants of the Buguo Wu Auction House wanted by the Xi family of Chongguang Cheng.

The number of these Strong Martial experts was about 5-6 people; they usually acted without regard for good or evil, with profit as their primary goal.

Despite offending the Xi family, these few Strong Martial experts acted with caution and had remained active until now.

Who would have thought this group would be so bold as to lay hands on a clanswoman of the Beixuan Zhu? There must be some major power manipulating and inciting this from behind the scenes.

The image of the female Strong Martial expert surfaced in Zhou You's mind, and he thought that if he ran into her this time, he would not be as disheveled as he was last time.

If nothing else, he would have to give the other party a taste of their own medicine.

"Panel, transfer the Strong Martial realm of the avatar Lu Zhigang to me."

The Strong Martial First Heaven realm of the Ying Feng Swallowing Dragon Art was bound to the cultivation of the avatar Lu Zhigang, but the panel could transfer and distribute the fist technique cultivation realms between the main body and the avatar, though it could not duplicate them.

Far in the depths of the Wanli Zhaohai... Lu Zhigang frowned slightly; as if by some mysterious decree, the Strong Martial realm on his body was drained away.

The realm of the Ying Feng Swallowing Dragon Art was wiped clean, leaving only the 'Poison Dragon' level Seven Step Poison Sand Palm he had recently mastered, falling from the peak of Strong Martial First Heaven to the level of just entering the Strong Martial First Heaven.

Although both were Strong Martial First Heaven, the gap was too large; if a powerful enemy attacked, he would certainly be unable to win.

Fortunately, he had already collected all the Nine Insects, and by combining them with his poison pet to enhance his palm power, he could still exert the lethality of a Strong Martial Second Heaven by leaping over ranks.

"What is the main body trying to do? Oh, I understand; he suffered a loss at the hands of a woman and is unwilling to let it go, wanting to take revenge."

Lu Zhigang smiled; it was rare for the main body to be willful, so he had to cooperate fully.

Lu Chongsheng, who was sitting below, looked up, "Foster father, do you have any instructions?"

Ever since the destruction of the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Workshop, this foster daughter had completely pledged her loyalty to him, following Lu Zhigang to learn fist techniques and handle affairs.

Seeing that she had good aptitude and that learning poison techniques would be a waste, Lu Zhigang had specially selected a 'Flying Luan Fist' from the true teachings of Baiqin Laoren to impart to her; if she worked hard in the future, it was not impossible for her to become the successor of 'Lu Zhigang'.

"Nothing, the Witches have been making a lot of trouble recently, and I hear there are Witches appearing near the Zhaohai." "Chan Juaner is outside, you are responsible for the inside; do not let outsiders find an opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chongsheng cupped her hands, "Daughter obeys."

The last great battle with the Witches was because the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Workshop intervened, using doll gu to break the Witch Banner, causing the environment the Witches had painstakingly created to be destroyed in an instant; the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Workshop deserved much of the credit.

This time, as they staged a comeback, the Witches would certainly take action against the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Workshop.

Lu Zhigang was taking every step with caution, as if walking on thin ice.

Outside Zhou Family Village, Zhou You clenched his fist, feeling the extra power within his body.

His main practice, the Tiger Crane Dual-Action Fist, had the former as a beast and the latter as a bird, and the Crane Fist was also a link in the 'Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix'; theoretically, it could seamlessly connect to the Ying Feng Swallowing Dragon Art.

However, the tiger and crane were originally in a parallel state, with balanced power; the Tiger Fist was still at the level of an Advanced Martial Master, and once the Crane Fist transformed into a phoenix, the addition of Strong Martial power would inevitably break the balance.

If he could not also raise the Tiger Fist to the Strong Martial level, Zhou You's most ideal state would be to use the Tiger Fist or Crane Fist separately—the former to deal with Martial Master enemies, and the latter to explode with power only when encountering a Strong Martial expert.

The trump card of the Ying Feng Swallowing Dragon Art was for saving his life when encountering a Strong Martial expert.

The Bird Fist—if he couldn't win, he could still fly away; it was truly unique! By the second half of the night, Zhu Qinghua's reinforcements had still not arrived, and she also sensed that something was wrong.

In the version where one looks at it one by one without errors!

"..."

Zhou You looked at her as she remained silent and suggested, "Shall we return to Fucheng first?"

This place was too close to the front lines, and the influence of the Beixuan Zhu could not reach here; only Fucheng could be considered a relatively safe zone.

Zhu Qinghua nodded; as things stood, she could only find a place to settle down first.

The two walked side by side, and less than half a day after leaving Zhou Family Village, a large mass of green light descended from the sky, covering the village.

Within the green light, the slick-haired, powdered-faced youth struck with both fists and palms; the gale swept across like a thunderbolt, and the rammed-earth houses, stacked stone walls, and the like shattered like building blocks, turning into sand and gravel one after another.

"Zhu Qinghua, let's see where else you can escape to."

"This time, the scale of the Witch tribe is unprecedented; the eight Great Witch Chiefs, including Hutiannu, have launched a massive invasion, pinning down the governors of the Beixuan Six Prefectures."

"The Fucheng Monarchs everywhere have mobilized their entire forces and are unable to attend to themselves; the Strong Martial reinforcements of the Beixuan Zhu were intercepted halfway, and no one can save you."

"Haha, I, a man of humble origins, also have the chance to enjoy a noble daughter of a great family, and a top-tier one like the Beixuan Zhu at that."

The youth talked to himself, his palms ruthless, leveling Zhou Family Village to the ground in an instant.

By the time he left, this land was nothing but ruins, with no trace of any living thing remaining.

Just at this moment, in the direction of Gongliang City, the Great Whale Island Master of the Strong Martial Third Heaven was in a bitter battle with three Great Witches of the Witch tribe; Witch beasts and Gu Kings flew in the air all around, and poison gas condensed into clouds and rain, falling down.

There were even more areas in this battlefield, with fresh forces of maritime martial artists joining in to resist the Strong Martial invasion of the Witches.

Looking further into the distance, the Strong Martial experts of the Jueguang Sect, Dayin Mountain, and Wanxiu Mountain were facing Great Witches of the Witch tribe that were several times more numerous than before; they were numerous and their arrogance was monstrous.

Glancing at the far rear, the Strong Martial reinforcements of the Beixuan Zhu had not yet left the territory of Fucheng before they were intercepted by a group of mysterious Strong Martial experts.

"Golden Immortal Dao, you are courting death!"

The leader, a martial expert surnamed Zhu, saw through the opponent's background and also sensed the mastermind behind this conspiracy.

Luring the tiger away from the mountain; the opponent's target was not Zhu Qinghua, but the head of the Beidi noble families... Beixuan Zhu.
