Chapter 176 Ulterior Motives
Zhang Zhiwen has been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time. Even though He Cuiying came here seemingly unprepared, Zhang Zhiwen actually knew very well that a well-trained young man from a big family would never be unprepared.
Zhang Zhiwen has secretly observed this several times. He Cuiying can react at almost any time. Therefore, the core children of the big family are not useless, and they cannot be easily attacked by sneak attacks.
Maybe He Cuiying doesn't care much about Zhang Zhiwen, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about other people, nor does it mean that he doesn't care about the surrounding environment. He will react subconsciously to any disturbance, just like Zhang Zhiwen led He Cuiying here just now. He Cuiying was immediately alert when he just walked a little in the secular direction. This is an instinct, a basic quality that has been trained for a long time, and these are even more powerful than the casual cultivators who hang out outside all year round. a bit.
Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen was also very patient. He even moved out the spirit-bearing trees and soil from the Immortal Mansion, and even arranged such a place for this purpose. However, Zhang Zhiwen didn't know what else to say about the cave, he just felt that this was the case. It should be able to confuse He Cuiying, but thinking that He Cuiying was not only confused, He Cuiying was almost carried away now. He was too lazy to pay attention to Zhang Zhiwen, so he immersed himself in looking for the treasure.
It has to be said that birds die for food and people die for wealth. Even a powerful member of a big family like He Cuiying cannot withstand such confusion.
But Zhang Zhiwen was still not in a hurry. He took out Qingmang, Lingfeng and Yandong smoothly. Qingmang was in his hand, Lingfeng was also in his hand, and Yandong also went directly to the body, but He Cuiying still didn't notice anything. It stands to reason that the appearance of three quasi-top-level spiritual weapons is somewhat due to abnormal fluctuations in spiritual power. But He Cuiying is already dreaming of getting rich at this moment, and is the so-called cave abode so attractive? Zhang Zhiwen was a little confused.
But Zhang Zhiwen saw that the other party didn't even notice that he had taken out three quasi-top-level spiritual weapons at this moment. What was Zhang Zhiwen waiting for?
In this way, Zhang Zhiwen launched an attack, and went all out. The Convergence Technique exploded instantly, and then the Flash Technique appeared behind He Cuiying, and then the spirit wind attacked, and a powerful mental wave swept out directly. He Cuiying was not able to do anything at all. Without any defense, this powerful mental power hit him. He groaned on the spot, and his whole body immediately stiffened, keeping bending down to look for something.
Seeing him like this, Zhang Zhiwen was a little surprised. He didn't expect Lingfeng to be so domineering. He Cuiying was completely incapacitated with one blow, but he didn't think much about it, and Qingmang attacked immediately after.
Boom!
Nine thunder dragons spurted out. These nine thunder dragons seemed to fall from the sky and directly swallowed He Cuiying. The huge thunder and lightning power tore apart the cave wall, causing the air to be drained instantly, and the outside air was directly drawn in crazily. For a moment, the energy was roaring and violent.
With just one blow, He Cuiying was killed on the spot. He didn't even know who killed him, because Zhang Zhiwen never appeared in front of him from the beginning to the end, and He Cuiying was killed in this way.
Zhang Zhiwen was naturally surprised by the power of this quasi-top-level spiritual weapon, but he didn't have time to think about it. His spiritual power fluctuations had attracted the attention of the four major families. He felt that someone was coming from Feixian City.
Therefore, he immediately picked up He Cuiying's beaten, twisted and burnt body and rushed out of the cave, and then he ran straight away.
From the beginning to the end, Zhang Zhiwen only spent less than a few breaths to complete this sneak attack. He succeeded in the sneak attack and left quickly. He had already restrained his spiritual power and relied solely on his physical strength to fly quickly. He wanted to Stay away from this place, the further away the better.
He had just left less than three miles away when the sound of breaking through the air came from behind. Zhang Zhiwen could only hide in the bushes on one side for an instant, and through the bushes, he saw Elder Zhao appearing at the entrance of the cave.
This time, a total of four elders came from the Zhao family, all of whom were at the ninth level of Qi Refining. They stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at the mess inside. They obviously frowned slightly, and then they looked around. , obviously looking for any clues about Zhang Zhiwen.
Then, an elder pointed to the ground, and there were indeed some footprints on the ground. Then the other three elders came over quickly. When they saw the footprints on the ground, the four of them looked at each other, and then they directly followed the footprints.
Seeing them like this, Zhang Zhiwen finally breathed a sigh of relief. This footprint was what he had deliberately arranged before. Otherwise, why would he have to go round and round to bring He Cuiying here for so long? He had already prepared his escape route, and he also knew that Elder Zhao would definitely rush over immediately. The speed of Elder Zhao was indeed extraordinary. He could arrive so quickly even though he was a hundred miles away, and he, Zhang Zhiwen, could only catch up. It was only a few miles away. Of course, Zhang Zhiwen only relied on his physical strength, so this speed would definitely not be much faster, so it was still quite thrilling. Fortunately, Zhang Zhiwen arranged everything properly and tried to ensure that everything was as foolproof as possible.
However, Zhang Zhiwen did not dare to move. He was not sure whether these old guys would come back again. He was still hiding in the bushes. He restrained his breath without a trace of spiritual power fluctuation. At this moment, in this vast forest, trying to find him was like trying to find him. Looking for a needle in a haystack.
As time went by, Zhang Zhiwen knew that he could not delay any longer, otherwise He Cuiying's delay in returning would inevitably arouse suspicion, and once He Cuiying's murder was discovered, there would be some trouble. At least Zhang Zhiwen's identity would probably be found out, because he had appeared in the mansion, and the servants had seen him, and they would find out with a casual search. Zhang Zhiwen would have to change his identity at that time, which was not easy, especially when entering the city. It was difficult, unless he went to the south of the city to pretend to be a newcomer, but it would still be troublesome.
So, after waiting for about half an hour, Zhang Zhiwen felt that it was almost done, and he began to release the transformation technique. The next moment, he turned into He Cuiying's appearance, and then searched all the things on He Cuiying's body, a medium storage bag, a set of clothes, and nothing else.
After finishing all this, Zhang Zhiwen took out a demon vine seed. The body must be cleaned up, and burying it in the ground or anything else is not safe. It is best to let the demon vine devour the body. Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen sacrificed a trace of spiritual power, and the demon vine appeared, and then devoured He Cuiying's body. The whole process was quite fast. The demon vine devoured extremely fiercely, even Zhang Zhiwen was a little shocked, but this was not the time for mercy, and destroying the body was inevitable.
About a cup of tea later, the body was completely devoured by the demon vine, and the demon vine slowly withered without the support of Zhang Zhiwen's spiritual power. Zhang Zhiwen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he stood up, tidied himself up, and walked out of the woods.
As soon as he walked out, a figure suddenly rushed out and stopped him. Zhang Zhiwen was slightly startled, because at this moment, he was pretending to be a seventh-level cultivator. He was not sure whether his identity would be exposed with this level of cultivation, and whether the poison would work.
He was planning to give it a try, but he was suddenly stopped by someone, and the person who came was none other than the elder of the Zhao family!
The elder of the Zhao family stared at Zhang Zhiwen, and seemed to sense the unusual aura on him. Zhang Zhiwen's heart tightened. He could see that this old guy seemed like a vicious wild dog, ready to attack at any time, but he pretended to be calm on the surface, and even clasped his fists to the other party: "Hello, senior!"
Zhang Zhiwen is now at the seventh level of Qi Refining. He looks like He Cuiying, but Zhang Zhiwen did not use his spiritual power, so the poison seemed to have no real effect. The elder of the Zhao family stared at Zhang Zhiwen for a while, and then said gloomily: "Who are you?"
In fact, the elder of the Zhao family has already seen that Zhang Zhiwen is a child of a big family. This set of clothes is not fake. This kind of clothing of a big family is resistant to dirt and tear, and even has some self-repair capabilities, which ordinary casual cultivators do not have.
However, just as the words of the Zhao elder fell, several more Zhao elders appeared and surrounded Zhang Zhiwen in an instant.
Zhang Zhiwen was actually very nervous when he saw this. He knew that if he was not careful, he might die here tonight. Of course, even if he died, he would drag a few old guys down with him. But before that, he tried to stay calm. Therefore, he clasped his fists again and said, "I am He Cuiying, a descendant of the He family in Yizi Feixian City."
"Humph, what are you doing here alone so late?" An elder of the Zhao family asked fiercely.
Facing ordinary people, He Cuiying's identity is naturally justifiable, but the elders of the Zhao family did not take a mere descendant of a big family into consideration. In addition, they had searched for a long time in the vicinity and did not find him. How did they suddenly find He Cuiying here?
They didn't care whether He Cuiying's identity was real or not, because why couldn't He Cuiying be the murderer who killed Zhao Tiefeng?
It's just that He Cuiying is a descendant of a big family after all, so these old guys didn't take action immediately.
Zhang Zhiwen thought about all these things clearly in a flash, and he felt that he was really in trouble. He did underestimate the determination of these old guys to kill him. Although he was very careful and patient, he couldn't hide all the time, otherwise he would be in more trouble when the sun rose.
So, Zhang Zhiwen secretly calmed down his emotions, and then said: "Senior, I came here tonight just to walk around and relax. After all, I have to follow my father to participate in important matters tomorrow, which is quite stressful."
Zhang Zhiwen's words were actually not very convincing. In the middle of the night, he, a child of a big family, ran here to relax?
Sure enough, an elder of the Zhao family suddenly said unhappily: "Nonsense! Who runs around in the middle of the night? Relax? I think you have ulterior motives!"
"Yes, stop talking nonsense, release a spell for us to see, if there is no problem, we will let you go!" Another elder of the Zhao family also immediately forced Zhang Zhiwen.
Although the remaining two Zhao elders did not say anything, they stared at Zhang Zhiwen and locked his Qi all over his body. If Zhang Zhiwen made any unusual movements, he would be attacked by their thunderbolt.
Zhang Zhiwen was naturally no match for the four ninth-level Qi Refining masters, and he could not even escape.
But even so, Zhang Zhiwen calmed down, because after all, these old guys seemed to need to confirm his identity. If he released a spell, his identity would be exposed, and these old guys would definitely take action. But if he did not release a spell, these old guys seemed to have some reservations, after all, he was a descendant of a big family in other Feixian City.
However, Zhang Zhiwen pretended to be confused, not knowing what was going on, hoping to delay time, but this could only delay for a moment. In the end, he seemed to have to obey the other party's orders, otherwise these four old guys would definitely not let him go.
Sure enough, seeing Zhang Zhiwen pretending to be deaf and dumb, with a confused face and not releasing spells for a long time, one of the Zhao elders suddenly took action. He stretched out his hand to grab Zhang Zhiwen, with a golden dragon entwined on his hand, and spiritual power bursting, like a huge shackle to take down Zhang Zhiwen. If Zhang Zhiwen sat there and waited for death, he would not be able to escape the poisonous hand. The other party only made a simple move to feel the difference in strength. This old guy has not used any spiritual weapon, and the power of magic alone is enough to rival the quasi-top spiritual weapon.
