Chapter 254: Chapter 167: Night Slaughter, Siege!

When Lu Qing was preparing to stealthily ascend the mountain,

In the village, within a secret attic,

Several figures exuding a strong aura were discussing something.

“Tower Master, this evening I’ve just received a message from headquarters asking us to find out Lu Qing’s true strength in Cang County at any cost,” a slender figure said.

“Lu Qing again, how can we find out? Over the past two years, we’ve already lost four Heavenly Gang assassins at his hands. Trying to scout his strength is like sending us to our deaths, isn’t it?”

A large man dressed in brocade robes growled irritably.

Hearing the name “Lu Qing” now always upset him.

In these two years, their Seven Killings Tower had definitively lost four Heavenly Gang-level assassins to him.

Those few dead were just dead. The assassins of the Seven Killings Tower always had a very detached relationship, each other’s rival.

He had no inclination to feel sentimental for his rivals.

What was key, those few before their deaths had all departed from his location; and yet, when they died, not a single piece of information about Lu Qing could be passed on, which had already earned him several scoldings from headquarters.

“These useless things, still holding positions of the Heavenly Gang, yet so incompetent that they can’t handle a mere Internal Organ Realm youngster!”

“Those old men at headquarters too, insisting on issuing the Seven Killings Order—you’re in a tough spot now. If that youngster survives seven assassination attempts, I’d like to see how you step down!”

The man in brocade couldn’t help cursing in his heart, offending those at headquarters as well.

But after cursing, he was still left with a headache.

Nowadays, all signs indicated that Lu Qing’s strength was extraordinary.

Even the Heavenly Gang-level assassins were fully no match for him.

He might even possess some secret technique that allowed him to see through their Seven Killings Tower’s stealth and disguise secret techniques.

Otherwise, it was hard to explain why four consecutive Heavenly Gang-level assassins not only failed in their assassinations but also had no chance to flee, unable to send back any information.

Yet, headquarters kept urging him to quickly find out Lu Qing’s true strength.

Such a deadly task, how was he supposed to investigate?

He had no intention of vying for a position among the Heavenly Gang, and he certainly didn’t want any association with that little monster!

Moreover, to risk his life gathering information for those brats at headquarters?

No way!

“Tower Master, Mr. Zheng wants to see you.”

As the brocade-clad man fretted, a subordinate came to report.

“What now, what does that second-generation heir want to do?” the brocade-clad man asked.

“He says he enjoyed playing with those two girls last time and wants something more thrilling this time, hoping you can arrange it.”

“That waste, possessing no useful skills, relying on being a direct descendant of the Zheng Family, he spends his days indulging in folly without doing any real work—it’s just about toying with women. Those two girls last time, he nearly played them to death. What more does he want?”

“In any case, he asks you to come out.”

“Damn it, this second-generation heir, if it weren’t for my need to hide my identity, I really would love to crush him to death, and grind him into a human stick!”

The brocade-clad man couldn’t help swearing.

“Tower Master, be careful of what you say, the walls have ears.”

The slender figure couldn’t help but remind him.

“Alright, I know. You go out first, have him wait. I’ll go see him in a bit!”

The brocade-clad man was merely venting his frustration.

He knew headquarters was setting up a large scheme, and every outpost had taken significant effort to establish.

If he acted impulsively and exposed their location, he would face serious punishment.

So, he really could not touch that waste from the Zheng family now.

Otherwise, drawing the attention of the Zheng Family, they might no longer be able to hide.

Lu Qing stealthily made his way up the mountain as quietly as a whisper.

The Divine Soul Talisman perfectly concealed all his aura.

With the camouflaging effect of his night suit, even Innate Realm Experts could hardly detect his presence.

Thus, Lu Qing easily infiltrated the village.

Upon entering the village, its liveliness became even clearer.

The noise of voices and brightly lit scenes displayed a place steeped in debauchery.

This feeling, similar to the Happy Village he had annihilated in the past, was quite detestable to Lu Qing.

Indeed, according to the intelligence provided by “Shadow”, this outpost was quite similar to the Happy Village—it served as a brothel and a gambling house run by the Seven Killings Tower, specifically used to gather and exchange intelligence.

Of course, most of the pleasure-seekers visiting did not know that this place was under the control of the Seven Killings Tower.

After entering the village, Lu Qing activated his Superpower, hiding in a covert spot and using his Divine Soul Power to sense the entire situation in the village.

“Fifty-seven martial artists, among them twenty in the Muscle Bone Realm, five in the Internal Organ Realm, the rest are Qi Blood Realm martial artists.”

A few moments later, realization appeared in Lu Qing’s eyes.

He was also greatly surprised.

This place was just a minor outpost, yet it possessed so many Martial Arts experts.

With just the Martial Arts expertise here, it could crush any force in Cang County, apart from the Wei Family.

The Seven Killings Tower truly deserved its reputation as a top Sect; its foundations were indeed exceedingly profound.

“Let’s start with you two then!”

Lu Qing’s gaze fell on two figures in a raised pavilion behind the village gate.

Under his scrutiny, the two at the top clearly bore the identity of members of the Seven Killings Tower.

Tsk! Tsk!

With a flick of his fingers, Lu Qing used Hidden Weapon techniques to dispatch two steel needles.

Driven by his formidable strength, the needles flew out with a light sound, immediately piercing through the heads of the two Qi Blood Realm guards from the Seven Killings Tower.
