Under One Person: Starting with the Dual Cultivation of Body and Soul
Chapter 111 First Kill and Company Reaction
Chapter 111 First Kill and Company Reaction
The man's eyes flickered. He glanced at Li Chang'an, then at Lu Lin, and said, "Back then—your great-grandfather killed many of us. My grandfather was killed by your great-grandfather. Today—I'm here for revenge!"
Li Chang'an hadn't spoken yet.
Lu Lin retorted angrily, "Kill your grandfather? My great-grandfather had no innocent victims, so it just means your grandfather deserved to die. No, when did my great-grandfather ever kill so many people?!"
"He must be referring to my great-grandfather!" Li Chang'an said.
Lu Lin was taken aback.
"All-around?" Li Chang'an asked.
He didn't think this person was from Jiajia Village. The ability to control objects is one of the most common abilities in the world of supernatural beings. The Flowing Cloud Sword can control objects, people with telekinetic abilities can also control objects, and all weapon refiners can control objects. Jiajia Village is just the one that is most skilled in it.
"So what if it is?" the man said through gritted teeth.
Li Chang'an remembered that Lu Jin had mentioned this matter.
His great-grandfather, Li Cheng, was taken away by his family early on, but after the destruction of Sanyi, he still couldn't let it go and vowed to avenge his fellow disciples of Sanyi. So he often went out to hunt down Quanxing, and many Quanxing demons died at his hands.
At that time, the Sanyi Sect actually had an agreement with the Quanxing Sect.
The grudge against the Sanyi Sect can only be directed at Wugensheng, the leader of the Quanxing Sect, and the evil child Li Muxuan; it cannot affect other members of the Quanxing Sect.
What Li Cheng did was actually a bit against the rules.
Lu Jin had tried to persuade Li Cheng, but Li Cheng wouldn't listen. He said that when the rule was established, he had already been taken back by his family and wasn't present, so he didn't need to follow it.
The reason for this is not that Li Cheng is being unreasonable.
Li Cheng believed that Lu Jin and the others had been kidnapped by Wu Gengsheng. His investigation revealed that Si Chong and Cheng Zhen were killed when they were attacked by Quanxing demons who came to have fun on their way to find Wu Gengsheng. It was not Wu Gengsheng who did the dirty work.
The grievances should have their perpetrators, and the debtors should have their culprits. They should find and kill those evil people who killed their uncles and brothers, instead of focusing on Wugensheng, this tough nut to crack.
Lu Jin did not deny Li Cheng's point of view.
But Wugensheng had already taken the blame for this.
Moreover, they have already made a promise, so naturally they must keep it.
Therefore, in the end, Li Cheng was in the wrong in this matter.
In the end, Li Cheng died. Due to the agreement made years ago and the company's mediation, Lu Jin did not launch a large-scale revenge for him.
Unexpectedly, instead of Lu Jin seeking revenge, they came to seek revenge.
"It's been so many years, why do you suddenly want revenge?" Li Chang'an asked.
The man said, "Because it's interesting. Your great-grandfather had a grudge against us, and the Trinity Sect also had a grudge against us."
"The leaders of the Sanyi Sect were all angered to death by our former sect leader, and the Sanyi Sect was also wiped out by us."
"You've even joined the Trinity Sect; this only adds insult to injury."
"The key point is that you've also become famous and earned the title of 'Immortal.' That old man Lu Jin even wants to rebuild the Trinity Sect."
"Wouldn't it be hilarious to kill you and the kid next to you in this situation?!"
"Not only will I avenge my grandfather, but I'll also wipe out your Trinity Sect once again. If I could also anger Lu Jin to death, just like I angered the former sect leader of the Trinity Sect, that would be even more interesting. Just thinking about it is exhilarating!"
The man's eyes lit up when he talked about it.
"Madman, damn madman!" Lu Lin felt a surge of anger rising within her, her eyes turned bloodshot, and her fists clenched tightly.
Originally, he felt somewhat uncomfortable experiencing such a scene for the first time.
But now, all discomfort has disappeared. If his senior brother hadn't promised not to kill him, he would have punched this man's head off.
Li Chang'an remained calm throughout: "Now that you mention it, it is indeed very interesting. There must be more than just you here. After all, you are so weak, who can you kill? Even if I stand still and let you kill me, you still can't kill anyone."
These words were truly a blow to his pride. The man's eyes widened in fury, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "It's just me! You better keep your word and let me go—"
Before he could finish speaking, Li Chang'an pierced his throat with a sword.
"you----"
The man stared wide-eyed at Li Chang'an with disbelief, making gurgling sounds as if he wanted to question why he had broken his promise.
"The Lu family's word is law, but my surname is Li!"
Li Chang'an twisted the longsword, the blade making a half-turn in his throat, crushing his cervical vertebrae and taking his life.
"Senior brother, what you're doing—"
Lu Lin looked at Li Chang'an with a surprised expression. Didn't you say you would let him go?
"Don't let some immoral and filthy people morally blackmail you. Besides, he broke the rules first, and he's lying."
Li Chang'an said, "When he said he was alone just now, his heartbeat was obviously abnormal, so there must be more than just him here."
As he spoke, Li Chang'an glanced back and analyzed, "He came from behind us. Our journey hasn't been delayed at all. Even if someone found out our route and wanted to catch up and ambush us, they wouldn't have enough time. This guy can use his telekinesis to fly on throwing knives; he's fast, so he's most likely a vanguard."
"Leading soldier—" Lu Lin was taken aback.
Li Chang'an looked at the unconscious driver and continued, "I saw it very clearly earlier. The throwing knife that was aimed at the driver was originally going towards me, but it turned around and flew towards the driver when it got close, which is why I didn't stop it."
"He deliberately cut off the driver's hand. There must have been a reason for him to do that. As for detonating the fuel tank, that was purely his mistake. This kid is a novice; his methods aren't very skillful."
Upon hearing this, Lu Lin asked in confusion, "If that's the case, why would he deliberately harm the driver? Attacking an ordinary person wouldn't do him any good; it might even attract the company's attention?"
"Think about it, what would we do if the driver got hurt?" Li Chang'an asked.
"We'll definitely take the driver back for treatment—" Lu Lin suddenly realized, "There's an ambush on the road!"
"That's right!" Li Chang'an said, "So we definitely can't go back."
Li Chang'an wasn't so overconfident in his strength that he was unafraid of ambushes and wanted to confront the Quanxing demons head-on.
You should know that back then, the senior disciple of the Sanyi Sect, Si Chong, and his eldest disciple, Cheng Zhen, were ambushed and killed by the Quanxing Sect.
His and Lu Lin's current strength is far inferior to that of Si Chong and Cheng Zhen. If they are ambushed, even if he has a bundle of talismans given to him by Lu Jin, he cannot guarantee that he can escape.
"What should we do now?" Lu Lin looked at the seriously injured driver. "We can't just abandon him."
As Lu Lin spoke, she took out her phone.
"What are you doing?" Li Chang'an asked.
"I'll call Grandpa!" Lu Lin said.
Li Chang'an said, "Grandpa is too far away from us, and he has an agreement with the provincial government. If we call him now, not only will he not be able to help, but it will also ruin his plans. It's better to call the company. This is the territory of the East China region. Just send a text message."
"But the company doesn't care about the grudges between outsiders," Lu Lin said.
Li Chang'an pointed at the driver: "Go take a picture, make him look like a dead man, and send it to the East China Regional Company's account. Say that the Quanxing heretic has gone mad and is harming innocent people, and ask them to intervene."
Lu Lin said, "In that case—when the company people arrive and find that the driver isn't dead, and that Quanxing, who injured the driver, has been killed by us, they probably won't interfere too much, right?"
Li Chang'an looked at Lu Lin: "Are you trying to kill the driver?"
"No, no, no—" Lu Lin quickly waved her hands to explain, "I didn't mean that!"
"I was just saying," Li Chang'an said with a smile. "People in other regions of the company might not get too involved in this kind of thing, but it's different in the East China region. People in the East China region love to make a big deal out of small things, find excuses, and take drastic measures."
Lu Lin realized what was happening: "You mean that legendary temporary worker from the East China region!"
"Do you know this person?" Li Chang'an asked.
Lu Lin nodded: "I've heard my elders talk about this. They say he's not very particular. Everyone says that you shouldn't torture living beings, but he always makes it bloody and messy, as if he's bloodthirsty, not like a normal person."
Li Chang'an said, "That's what I heard too. Most of the Quanxing members have dirty backsides. If you lure him here, he'll find his own target."
"But senior brother, how can you guarantee that it will definitely be this temporary worker who comes?" Lu Lin asked, puzzled.
"These are dirty and tiring jobs for temporary workers. If temporary workers won't do this kind of backbreaking work, like killing someone in the middle of the night, who's going to do it? Are permanent employees supposed to?" Li Chang'an said. "Go take pictures!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Lin immediately took out her phone, found a good angle, took several photos of the driver, edited the text, and sent them out as an MMS message.
"At this hour, the company is probably already closed. Should we give them a call?" Lu Lin asked.
Li Chang'an said, "No need. If you make a call, you'll give yourself away as soon as you open your mouth. Put your phone on silent and ignore it. The company will come after us. Now we need to retreat quickly and head into the mountains. Don't let them catch up with us."
"What should we do with the driver?" Lu Lin asked.
Li Chang'an glanced into the distance: "Just leave it here. When the company people arrive, they'll rescue him."
Lu Lin said, "I don't think it's a good idea. The people from the company don't know when they'll arrive. He's lost a lot of blood, and I'm afraid it will attract some wild animals. Also, if Quanxing catches up first, I'm worried he'll be killed to silence him."

"In that case, let's take him along." Li Chang'an walked over, tucked the driver into his waistband, and turned to walk into the mountains.
Lu Lin quickly followed.
"Pick up your hand; maybe it can be reattached someday."
"Uh-oh!"
Lu Lin quickly picked up her arm and followed Li Chang'an.
As they walked, Li Chang'an took out four Divine Speed Armor cards from his backpack and handed two to Lu Lin.
When Lu Lin left, her grandfather gave her senior brother a bunch of protective talismans. Without saying a word, she took the talismans and stuck them on her two calves.
With the blessing of the talisman, the two made their way into the mountains at an incredibly fast speed.
Meanwhile, several people were standing on the mountain walls on both sides of the mountain path.
At the front was a middle-aged man wearing a gray executive jacket, with most of his head bald. He had his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed on the still-burning wreckage of a car down the mountain, his face expressionless.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was a multimedia message. The background of the photo in the message was the still-burning wreckage of the car down the mountain.
