Too many people are dying in this chaotic world? Then I'll activate the control panel!

"Iron armor?"

"Hehe, even for us non-body cultivators, wearing these would be quite restrictive, let alone for Wang Sheng, who's only at the early stage of Ming Jin. Wouldn't he just be a sitting duck?"

Luo Zhengwen was the first to object, his face serious as he glared at his fellow disciple who wanted to sell his iron armor.

"Hehe, my iron armor is mixed with black iron; ordinary Ming Jin (vital energy) practitioners can't even scratch it. If I sell it to Junior Brother Wang, he'll make a fortune!"

The fellow disciple who sold the iron armor was named Lin Shan, and he said nonchalantly.

"That can't be right. If it really is mixed with black iron, it could fetch a good price even on the black market."

Wei Yu noticed the problem and said.

"Senior sister is indeed amazing. Actually, that iron armor has a flaw; it's been slashed several times on the back and hasn't been repaired. It's been offered on the black market before, but I wasn't satisfied with the prices."

"But don't worry, the iron armor can be used from the front too."

"So if Junior Brother Wang Sheng wants it, I want one thousand taels of silver, plus a promise. Not Wang Sheng's promise, but Senior Brother Luo's promise!"

At this point, Lin Shan's true colors were revealed.

No wonder he cherishes the iron armor, yet he's offering it up for trade. It seems he values ​​Luo Zhengwen's character and family background, and wants Luo Zhengwen to vouch for Wang Sheng.

Are you sure you don't want my promise?

Wang Sheng frowned slightly.

He really wanted the Iron Armor. High-grade inner armor was practically priceless, with extremely high prices.

Although the iron armor is a bit heavy, it is mixed with black iron and is no worse than some high-grade inner armor.

Wang Sheng was a body cultivator, so he didn't care about the weight of the iron armor.

"Pshaw, if I'm expecting you to be able to help me in the future, it'll be ages before you can!"

Lin Shan said dismissively.

Wang Sheng fell silent.

"Should I become a thief and steal it?"

Wang Sheng thought to himself.

"I'll bail it out!"

Luo Zhengwen suddenly spoke up.

"Junior brother, with me and Senior Sister Wei Yu protecting you, you'll be fine as long as you don't encounter any internal force attacks. If you do encounter an internal force attack, none of us can escape. If you encounter an external force attack, sometimes we can't protect you, but your iron armor can block a few blows for you until we come to your aid."

Luo Zhengwen figured it out and realized that the iron armor might actually be useful to Wang Sheng.

"Haha, senior brother is so generous. I'll go back and get it right away."

Lin Shan laughed with satisfaction and quickly ran away.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Wang Sheng thought to himself that Senior Brother Luo was indeed a loyal and righteous person. Once he recognized a friend, he would help them to the end without hesitation. No wonder Lin Shan, Wei Yu, and others trusted him so much.

"Junior Brother Luo, could Wang Sheng be your father's illegitimate son, your own brother? Otherwise, why are you protecting him so much?"

Wei Lingqin was unhappy that Wang Sheng had obtained the iron armor and said sarcastically.

but,

To everyone's surprise,

This time, Luo Zhengwen did not argue with her. Instead, he said seriously, "Actually, Wang Sheng does look somewhat similar to my deceased younger brother."

Forehead!

This time,

Not only were Wei Lingqin and the others speechless, but even Wang Sheng was somewhat at a loss for words.

"Wang Sheng, do you look like your father or your mother?"

Wei Yu suddenly asked.

"Just like my dad, so what?"

"Oh, it's nothing! It's nothing!"

Wei Yu suppressed a laugh and waved his hand.

Luo Zhengwen was somewhat confused, feeling that Wei Yu hadn't said anything good.

After asking the question, Wang Sheng suddenly understood Wei Yu's thoughts.

Wang Sheng glared at Wei Yu, who was trying hard to suppress her laughter.

He never expected that this tall, aloof senior sister, who usually seemed so cold and aloof, would actually be so secretly horny and have such wild thoughts—such a stark contrast!

This is really poorly investigated!

"Hahaha, Wang Sheng, didn't your father work as a servant in the Luo family when he was young? Did he also serve Madam Luo?"

Wei Lingqin was speaking without any restraint.

Luo Zhengwen was already furious. He strode towards Wei Lingqin, shouting, "Wei Lingqin, how dare you disrespect the Luo family! You're asking for death!"

Wei Lingqin was startled. Seeing that Luo Zhengwen was about to fight her to the death, she quickly retreated and hid behind Qi Changsheng, a senior brother who had reached the Great Perfection of Ming Jin.

"Junior Brother Luo, don't be angry. You know Lingqin is straightforward."

Qi Changsheng smiled calmly.

"Qi Changsheng, stop trying to smooth things over."

Luo Zhengwen was about to shout angrily.

suddenly,

The entire courtyard fell silent.

Luo Zhengwen turned around following everyone's gaze.

Zhao Jie walked out from the inner courtyard.

"master!"

One by one, the crowd bowed and greeted them.

"Um!"

Zhao Jie's expression was icy as he glanced at Luo Zhengwen.

"master!"

Luo Zhengwen felt as if he had been doused with cold water, and immediately sobered up, quickly bowing in greeting.

"Now, are you all ready? Follow me to slay the demonic sect and avenge our grievances!"

Zhao Jie said indifferently.

"Yes, Master!"

Everyone said in unison.

At this time,

A figure quietly entered the martial arts academy.

It was Lin Shan, who had just gone to retrieve the iron armor.

At this moment, everyone looked at Lin Shan.

Lin Shan felt a chill run down his spine. Seeing the indifferent Zhao Jie, he became even more apprehensive and quickly cupped his hands, saying, "Master, I was protecting Junior Brother Wang Sheng and went home to get his iron armor. I was delayed for a moment, please forgive me."

Zhao Jie was already furious because his friend Liu's family had been wiped out and his disciple Jin Cang had been killed.

Lin Shan has now run right into his line of fire, failing to obey orders to return within half an hour.

As for protecting his junior brother, Wang Sheng had already angered Zhao Jie yesterday because of the cultivation method, causing Zhao Jie's attitude towards Wang Sheng to drop significantly.

All these factors combined made the coldness in Zhao Jie's eyes grow heavier and heavier.

brush!

Zhao Jie raised his hand and grabbed at Lin Shan in the air.

A powerful suction force formed a vortex, with surging, substantial energy that instantly pulled Lin Shan towards it, his neck gripped by a pair of large hands.

Lin Shan's face was filled with fear and pitiful pleading. His whole body was suppressed by the thick internal energy, and he could not move or even speak.

"Lin Shan disobeyed my orders. I have already said that anyone who dares to disobey will have their martial arts crippled and be expelled from the sect."

Zhao Jie looked down at everyone like a vicious tiger, his gaze sweeping over them, sending chills down the spines of Li Hu, Wei Yu, and the others.

Click, click...

Zhao Jie tapped Lin Shan a few times, making a sound like bones breaking.

Lin Shan immediately collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, convulsing continuously.

The entire martial arts academy instantly became even quieter, so quiet that even breathing was almost inaudible.

A chilling atmosphere enveloped the martial arts academy, and everyone felt a sense of oppression, their expressions tense.

Zhao Jie nodded slightly.

That's more like it.

Otherwise, if they were out in public and the group of people were all so relaxed and disorganized, wouldn't that make him lose face?

"Take this as a gift."

Zhao Jie kicked the heavy iron armor in front of Wang Sheng.

"Yes, Master!"

Wang Sheng sensed Zhao Jie's impatience with him.

Presumably, because of Jin Cang's death, Zhao Jie had also suspected Wang Sheng, but it was only a fleeting thought. He did not believe that Wang Sheng could kill Jin Cang.

"Let's go!"

Zhao Jie shouted.

"yes!"

This time, every disciple in the martial arts academy was serious, and no one dared to be negligent in the slightest.

Kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

This trick may be old, but it still works!

quickly,

Zhao Jie personally led a team to hunt down the demonic sect disciples throughout the city.

at the same time,

Within Ershui City, other martial arts alliances, Qingshui Martial Academy, Jiudao Martial Arts School, government officials, Shenxiang Sect, and some large families also began sending people to besiege and kill members of the Demonic Sect.

And thousands of miles away,

The negotiations between the rebel army of Nanling Prefecture and Jiangling Prefecture completely broke down, and the rebel army began a fierce attack on Jiangling Prefecture.

Jiangling Prefecture, already rife with chaos, immediately became shaky and precarious, with countless people displaced and disaster victims everywhere.

Chaos has arrived in Jiangling Prefecture!
