Rebirth starts with many children and good fortune
#266 - Chapter 266: Strike First
According to intelligence, the Su family caravan was annihilated, and the Su family was exterminated, but only Su Min's whereabouts are unknown, and it is uncertain whether she is dead or alive.
The Lin family's reaction is to search for Su Min, which indicates that Su Min is very important to them, and perhaps she carries the goods transported by the Su family caravan.
Regarding the collusion between the Lin family and the Red Lotus Sect, no one pays attention due to the lack of concrete evidence. The Lin family still stands firm.
At the same time, the letter provided by Jinxi Tower and the information Xu Le purchased are consistent, only using words like "suspected" and "unknown," making it impossible to accuse them.
However, what surprised Wei Zhuang the most was the distribution of the Lin family's Marrow Cleansing realm martial artists.
One of them remained in the Lin residence to oversee, another went out to do business, and the last one's whereabouts are unknown.
This elusive arrangement made it difficult for Wei Zhuang to judge the true strength of the Lin family, and he also deeply realized the cunning and caution of large families in protecting their interests.
Faced with these complex and subtle pieces of information, countless thoughts surged in Wei Zhuang's mind.
First of all, Su Min's disappearance aroused his great interest. As the only person in the Su family caravan whose death was not confirmed, Su Min's safety directly affects the whereabouts of the goods transported by the Su family caravan.
This item obviously has great value to the Lin family and other forces, otherwise, the Lin family would not be so unscrupulous in searching for it.
Wei Zhuang couldn't help but wonder, what exactly is this item?
If the Hongmen gets it, what will happen?
Secondly, since the Lin family has revealed their hand, Wei Zhuang will naturally not let them go, but how to proceed is still up for discussion.
Strength is one aspect, and establishing a foothold is another.
The Hongmen needs to expand and develop, so it naturally cannot act aimlessly.
"Someone!" Wei Zhuang gave an order, and two men immediately appeared before him, respectfully saluting and saying, "Master."
"Go to Jinxi Tower and ask if there is a way to speed up the Bone Forging realm. Also, confirm the specific route of the Lin family's Marrow Cleansing martial artist who is outside."
Wei Zhuang's voice was cold and stern.
"As you command!" One of the men nodded without hesitation, then turned his gaze to the effeminate man beside him, giving him a look that said, "You go." The latter showed a trace of reluctance on his face.
He muttered, "So what if you're in the mid-stage of Blood Refining... I still have to run errands..."
But he still reluctantly prepared to set off.
The sword-wielding man's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile. This action completely angered the effeminate man.
He glared angrily at the sword-wielding man, gritting his teeth and saying, "Situ Jian, you just wait!"
"Wei Yin, you're far from it!"
"Come on, let's go outside and spar."
Wei Zhuang looked at the two men with a stern face and said coldly, "If you two don't want to die, you can continue arguing. Both of you go together."
Hearing this, the two instantly fell silent, not daring to speak again.
Wei Zhuang didn't pay too much attention to the dispute between Situ Jian and Wei Yin.
These people were all subordinates he had forcibly subdued. Although they each had certain abilities, they also had their own personality flaws.
Their quarrel was just a small episode on the path of cultivation and would not affect the overall situation.
After all, the ranking of the Sword Hall is not just for show, and everyone knows exactly how much they weigh.
With the help of money, the information was quickly bought back from Jinxi Tower.
"'Tendons Connection Art', an auxiliary technique to accelerate Bone Forging?" Wei Zhuang's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "When did this start being auctioned?"
"In a month, at Jinxi Tower!"
"Then we still have time to prepare..." Wei Zhuang muttered to himself. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "What are the qualifications for entering the auction?"
"It's very simple, just possess ten thousand taels of credentials."
"Oh?" A smile appeared on the corner of Wei Zhuang's mouth. "It seems that this is not difficult. Just take the silver notes and you can enter."
"What about the news of the Lin family's Marrow Cleansing martial artist?"
"Lin Dong, a mid-stage Marrow Cleansing martial artist of the Lin family, went to Blackwood Prefecture City, which is next to Lianshan Prefecture City, to purchase medicinal materials specifically for Marrow Cleansing.
It is said that Lin Dong's trip is to break through his cultivation bottleneck, and this purchase of the main medicine may be the key opportunity for him to achieve a breakthrough," Situ Jian replied.
Wei Yin was busy showing that he was no worse than Situ Jian: "There is only one road between Blackwood Prefecture and Lianshan Prefecture—Fallen Water Canyon. He must cross this canyon to return, and this is our chance.
According to the news, he should be returning in the next few days."
Looking at Wei Yin meticulously planning how to ambush the Lin family's Marrow Cleansing martial artist using Fallen Water Canyon, he nodded inwardly.
Wei Zhuang was satisfied with Wei Yin's active performance and keen insight into the situation.
Although Wei Yin and Situ Jian came from different gangs, their tacit understanding and cooperation after joining the Sword Hall were impressive.
This is also the reason why Wei Zhuang kept the two of them by his side. As for the others, only combat power matters, with no other value.
"Marrow Cleansing martial artist, aren't you afraid?" Wei Zhuang asked curiously.
Situ Jian was the first to answer: "I can finally see a master. I only realized how big the outside world is after coming to the prefecture city." His words revealed his longing for the outside world and his desire for masters.
Wei Yin said affirmatively: "We are not afraid of even your strength, Master, so naturally we are not afraid. At worst, we will just die."
He directly expressed his trust in Wei Zhuang's strength and his indifference to his own safety.
But Wei Yin didn't think much of it in his heart. What kind of test is this? Is he coaxing a child?
Although Wei Zhuang is only a Bone Forging martial artist, it is said that his strength is enough to suppress Marrow Cleansing martial artists. This made them full of trust in Wei Zhuang. After all, he is the man who defeated them.
What's more, as the second sect leader of the Hongmen, the mysterious first Hongmen sect leader is the backing of the entire Hongmen.
Even though Wei Yin had not met Cheng Feng after being incorporated, the surrounding disciples were always talking about Cheng Feng's goodness, always saying that it was under the leadership of the first sect leader that the Red Star and Black Snake gangs were directly destroyed.
Whenever this happened, Wei Yin, in addition to being angry, always lamented the extraordinary skills of the first sect leader. Even after passing on the throne, he still had such a powerful influence among the Hongmen disciples.
In addition, Wei Yin did not think that Wei Zhuang would be so foolish as to confront a Marrow Cleansing martial artist head-on.
After all, martial artists are also human, and they also have their own weaknesses.
As a high-level martial artist of the Black Snake Gang, Wei Yin has an in-depth understanding and unique insights into poison techniques. When facing powerful enemies, in addition to direct martial confrontation, one can also use poison and other means to achieve victory.
Seeing that Situ Jian's and Wei Yin's answers were both exceptionally firm, Wei Zhuang wondered if he should add more burdens to the two?
It's not often that you see people with such firm beliefs!
