Chapter 590: Revenge Has All Sorts of Methods!

【How could my master harbor such intense murderous intent toward the Liang Shui He River God? Could there be some conflict between them that I don't know about?】

In Wang Ping'an's mind, countless guesses arose; he didn't keep guessing. Xuanqing Daozhang's murderous intent on his face is linked to Zhu Xing. Given his master's relationship with Le Zhuang, he would love to tear Zhu Xing to pieces, but his junior brother Le Zhuang explicitly says he wants to avenge the grievance himself.

So.

His master wouldn't care much about Zhu Xing's life or death.

For a moment, Wang Ping'an felt endless curiosity; he didn't understand what conflict between this Liang Shui He River God and his master could cause such intense murderous intent.

Le Zhuang weakly said, "Uncle, you aren't really planning to arrange my grandfather's funeral and then take me away, are you?"

"Why do you ask?"

Xuanqing Daozhang glanced at Le Zhuang, and from his expression could roughly guess the meaning behind his question, and said:

"What, you don't want to leave Liangshui Town?"

Le Zhuang nodded, then shook his head, and said, "Uncle, I know the Zhu Clan is formidable. Given my situation, seeking revenge on Zhu Xing would probably take a dozen or twenty years."

In all those years, given Zhu Xing's temperament, he would never allow me to do nothing; as soon as I focus on cultivation, he would surely strike first.

I recall the elders' saying: 'There are a thousand days to be a thief, but no thousand days to guard against thieves.'

Uncle, even if you are extremely powerful, you cannot repeatedly fend off Zhu Xing's attacks; whether you take me away from Liangshui Town or not, I actually don't mind much!

Xuanqing Daozhang asked further, "Then what do you care about?"

"Uncle, what I fear is that that brute Zhu Xing, if he can't find me, will use my grandfather's and even our Le Family ancestors' corpses to vent his anger!"

At this point, Le Zhuang paused, looked pleadingly at Xuanqing Daozhang, and asked again, "Uncle, do you have the ability to use a special method to conceal our Le Family ancestral tomb and prevent outsiders from desecrating it?"

"I still have that technique!"

Before Xuanqing Daozhang could finish speaking, he saw the delight on Le Zhuang's face, and Le Zhuang said, "The formation is just one level; I barely crossed the Entry Level threshold, not really impressive. If the Zhu Clan finds a formation master, it would be easy to break…"

Before he could finish, Xuanqing Daozhang clearly saw Le Zhuang's delight turn to disappointment again; without waiting for him to speak, Le Zhuang spoke once more:

"As for what you said, that given your situation it would take a dozen or twenty years to avenge Zhu Xing, I think it won't take that long!"

"Really?"

Le Zhuang's eyes instantly brightened.

Wang Ping'an's expression turned odd, and he thought to himself, 'My master isn't joking, is he, deliberately teasing my junior brother for fun?'

He didn't know what abilities Zhu Xing possessed, but he knew Zhu Xing's bodyguards were formidable. Though he didn't pay much attention, given his junior brother's current state, he could tell without using the Dharma Eye that his junior brother left no trace of cultivation.

Slaying Zhu Xing might not require much skill, but dealing with his bodyguards before killing Zhu Xing—whether it takes a dozen, twenty years, even decades or centuries, it's all possible.

"Wait!"

In Wang Ping'an's mind, a flash of insight flickered and vanished, and he thought:

"My master wouldn't be thinking of eliminating Zhu Xing's bodyguards and then handing Zhu Xing over to my junior brother to deal with, would he? If so, my junior brother wouldn't need to cultivate long—no, perhaps not even cultivate at all; as long as he can lift a sword, he could slay Zhu Xing."

"Of course…"

Before Xuanqing Daozhang could finish speaking, the quick‑witted Le Zhuang interrupted, "Uncle, you aren't thinking of handling Zhu Xing's bodyguards yourself and then giving Zhu Xing to me to resolve, are you?"

He didn't know whether Zhu Xing was powerful, but he knew Zhu Xing's bodyguards were formidable, being one of the top guard teams in the entire Xiang Xian. To eliminate this scourge and avenge his parents, the biggest difficulty, besides the famous Zhu Clan, is Zhu Xing's bodyguards.

Beyond that, he didn't consider Zhu Xing at all.

Xuanqing Daozhang retorted, "What, you don't want to?"

Le Zhuang opened his mouth, wanting to refuse, but thinking of his parents' vengeance and the years he had been bullied by Zhu Xing, the words at his lips swallowed back, and he instinctively nodded.

What he cared about was personally eliminating that brute Zhu Xing to vent his hatred.

As for Zhu Xing's bodyguards, whoever solves them, it's still a solution.

"So that's really the case?"

Hearing his own master's retort, Wang Ping'an's face was filled with disappointment.

This novel you to

Although.

He guessed that his master could enable that kid Le Zhuang to eliminate Zhu Xing quickly, intending to act personally, deal with Zhu Xing's bodyguards, then hand Zhu Xing to him; yet he still hoped his master possessed a special cultivation method to grant his junior brother great power in a short time.

Personally eliminate Zhu Xing and his bodyguards!

It's not that he's perfect and wants everything flawless; he wants to use this chance to see if he can steal more skills from his master.

Though.

He possessed many good abilities, but he never tires of abilities; even if the system panel shows more data and requires more Merit, he prefers to work hard to earn Merit rather than abandon a talent, skill, or technique… Even if that talent, skill, or technique is ordinary, he is reluctant to give it up.

He realized he was like a pi xiu; he couldn't part with anything useful.

A constable diligently cleared the corpses in the Le Family courtyard and cleaned the bloodstains, and upon seeing Xuanqing Daozhang's party leave, could no longer contain his excitement, hurriedly approached his junior brother Chi Yongchun, whispering:

"Boss, this old man and the Le kid still want to avenge Zhu Young Master; should we quickly tell Zhu Young Master about this?"

"Of course…"

Chi Yongchun was about to readily agree; he clearly knew the benefits of aligning with Zhu Young Master—Cui Ji was a living example—but before he could finish, a thought of Xuanqing Daozhang's cold, extreme expression flashed in his mind, as if he were fish meat on a cutting board, and the words at his lips swallowed back, he changed his tone:

"Forget it, better not say anything. Whether it's Zhu Young Master or this Dao Elder, we can't afford to offend them; if they learn we leaked information, we're doomed!"
