Without a sound, they followed closely. These two fellows had strong vigilance, making a big circle within the entire city, rushing on until just before dawn, until finally entering a civilian courtyard.
Seeing this, Lu Ren hesitated no more and directly pushed the door open and entered.
Facing their astonished gazes, Lu Ren stepped into the courtyard, and shut the door behind him.
The two tall men spoke: "Who are you?"
The man showed a slight reaction: "No, you can’t possibly be Wang Feng!"
Lu Ren’s face remained calm: "Put down the bundle in your hand, I can let your death be quick and less painful."
The man laughed heartily, just about to speak, his expression changed abruptly, and before he could make any move, Lu Ren swiftly stepped forward, moving as fast as the wind, and appeared in front of him in an instant with a dull wind sound.
Lu Ren’s large hand reached out, pressing down on the man’s face, directly crushing it into the ground.
The ground trembled slightly, forcibly creating a deep hole where the head was smashed in.
"You aren’t Wang Feng, who are you?!"
The man with the braided hair suddenly realized that someone might have used Wang Feng’s name, replaced his identity, and then bought a house in Juliu City.
Lu Ren straightened up and glanced at the system prompt.
"Ding, you killed a small minion from the Liaoyuan Organization."
Lu Ren found it amusing in his heart, meaning the guy’s strength was so low that the system didn’t even bother to check his name?
Watching Lu Ren turn his head slowly approaching him, the braided man hurriedly shouted: "Wait, wait, even if you are Wang Feng, with the key, without knowing the entry code, you absolutely cannot open the Human King’s Tomb!!"
Lu Ren’s eyes brightened, remembering he had seen it in historical books three days ago.
Human King passed on the flame, allowing the Human Race to thrive in the Underworld land and thus established vast Mortal Worlds like lakes.
Legend has it that this figure lived almost ten thousand years ago, nearing the end of his lifespan, transforming his body into the extreme point of yang, allowing humans to thrive and multiply.
Seeing Lu Ren’s hesitation, the braided man sighed in relief and realized that this man was not Wang Feng, possibly knowing nothing at all.
He spilled the beans: "We discovered the exact location of the Human King’s Tomb in the Underworld, Wang Feng obtained the key, causing a sudden rebellion within the Liaoyuan Organization, leading Wang Feng to abscond with the key! Googlᴇ search noveⅼfire.net
The leaders within the Liaoyuan Organization learned Wang Feng lived here, sending us to search.
Lu Ren was not interested, the man’s words were clear, indicating their identity and the mission, implying that if they failed, the Liaoyuan Organization would continue sending people.
Lu Ren was only concerned: "What’s inside the Human King’s Tomb?"
Upon hearing this, the braided man appeared frightened but couldn’t help revealing a longing expression: "Pure Land, it’s said to be a true Pure Land, where Shakyamuni, Old man, and Emperor Yan, the extraordinary beings, found the Pure Land, truly leaving behind this suffering world..."
Lu Ren withdrew his foot, took the bag of gold from the man’s room, then searched the two men’s bodies thoroughly, and finally found a scroll in the braided man’s bosom.
He searched the house again in detail and found many silver notes and banknotes.
Then quickly returned home, reorganized his belongings, and leisurely sat down to enjoy a breakfast delivered from a nearby restaurant.
Meanwhile, he opened the scroll to observe carefully.
Lu Ren raised his eyebrows; this wasn’t a complete map, but seemingly a middle section of it.
There should be three parts.
As for the Liaoyuan Organization, Lu Ren had heard of it before, having an unpleasant encounter the first time he arrived in the Underworld.
Claiming to fight for the vitality of humans in the Mortal World, but to Lu Ren, it seemed quite laughable, as these people carried grand slogans yet committed numerous filthy deeds.
Committing the map’s route to memory, Lu Ren casually discarded the scroll aside, thinking if one cannot enter without the key, what use is the map then.
To some, this map was invaluable.
But in Lu Ren’s eyes, it’s not even worth the breakfast delivered earlier this morning.
Will others come later?
Lu Ren pondered, somewhat regretting he acted too quickly; had he asked for the location the men were stationed, wiping them out entirely wouldn’t be so bothersome.
Aiming to solve the problem promptly, Lu Ren checked the time, then left home, heading to the banks of Qingshui River.
Shortly after, as anticipated, a voice as clear as a silver bell was heard.
"Hey, Brother Lu, it’s rare to see you out so early, I’ve never seen you this early before."
Xu Li holding a basket full of groceries, approached greeting Lu Ren.
"Sometimes, one gets restless, so I come out occasionally for a walk and to clear my mind."
Lu Ren responded with a smile.
Xu Li was cute, petite, but walked with agility, obviously adept at martial arts.
Naturally, her father was at the Extraordinary Level, having reached the Bright Awakening Realm, a defender of Shuangliu City; failing to practice martial arts wouldn’t make sense.
While considering this, Lu Ren chatted with Xu Li for a while, then steered the conversation towards the Liaoyuan Organization.
"By the way, before coming here, I bought a book with a story claiming there’s a Liaoyuan Organization secretly in Daqian, aiming to fight for human survival, is that true or false?"
Xu Li shook her head slightly: "I’m not too sure... oh, right, I remember once hearing my father chatting drunkenly with the Governor about Liaoyuan being like a tumor, considered a dire threat to Daqian.
Proclaiming to create a new Pure Land for humanity, yet doing filthy dealings, assassination, robbery, even massacre; it should be eradicated swiftly. But the organization is vast, headquartered in the Underworld, rendering Daqian Dynasty’s enormous effort futile over the years.
Lu Ren nodded briefly: "I see, it truly is detestable."
Watching Xu Li leave, Lu Ren found it amusing.
A martial artist at the Bright Awakening Realm drunken? Who’d believe that?
The fact is, even the elite in Juliu City seem to be full of intrigue.
Returning to the courtyard, Lu Ren found it hard to settle down, thinking it was better in the past when circumstances arose passively.
But now staying passive was ridiculous.
Hastily, Lu Ren left, purchasing ten beef scallion cakes and eating them as he walked to the braided man’s residence.
No way I’m not aware of the place to find their men.
Entering the house, the bodies of the two men were still lying in the courtyard.
Lu Ren’s feet moved slightly, Bright Sun True Qi flowed along with the power, shaking the courtyard center, creating a pit.
He kicked the bodies into the pit, stomped once to lift the dirt and stones, burying the bodies.
Lu Ren was highly satisfied with his handiwork.
Entering the courtyard, sitting grandly, while casually munching meat pies and contemplating the True Martial Emperor Body and Immortal Flesh and Bone Technique.
As for the Qi Blood Martial Path in the Underworld, Lu Ren wasn’t too fond of it. Emperor Zhenwu focused heavily on Qi Blood, moreover, the Bright Sun True Qi was superior to Qi Blood Power, no need to abandon essentials for trifles.
Just borrowing some methods of using Qi Blood suffices.
