I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 275: Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain

Chapter 275: Chapter 275: Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain

A moment later, a burly figure landed on the street outside the Drunken Flower Tower.

He looked around to see that there was no one around, and reached down to grab the body of Zhu Jun on the ground.

This person was Zhang Yuan.

Or rather, Zhang Yuan disguised as "Wei Yan"!

Earlier today when he left the house, he ran into Yang Lang and others.

This Outer Hall Incense Master of the Martial Power Sect, using the pretext of the New Year Festival Fee, extorted one hundred and eighty taels of silver from Zhang Yuan.

Simply audacious, shameless to the extreme!

Zhang Yuan gave in.

Having been extorted by Yang Lang once, Zhang Yuan originally planned to settle accounts after the new year.

Unexpectedly, that guy, after getting a taste of it, became insatiable and bullied him again.

As if he was sure that Zhang Yuan wouldn’t dare to resist.

Truly the last straw; Zhang Yuan held back until nightfall, then disguised himself as "Wei Yan" and stormed into the Drunken Flower Tower, killing the men in their place of pleasure.

The money they spent was all from Zhang Yuan, after all!

But did killing Yang Lang resolve Zhang Yuan’s inner feelings?

The answer was obviously no!

Because Yang Lang was just a pawn, the real enemy was not this minion.

So he left and then returned, waiting for the higher-ups of the Martial Power Sect to arrive.

To launch a surprise attack!

To Zhang Yuan’s surprise, it was the Outer Hall Master, Zhu Jun, who came.

And Zhu Jun happened to be the connection between the Li Family and the Martial Power Sect, and the mastermind behind Yang Lang’s troublemaking.

For Zhang Yuan, this was the best possible outcome.

He didn’t have the foresight to know he would draw out the principal.

But no matter who came, as long as it wasn’t the Martial Might Sect Leader, Zheng Lianhong, they were Zhang Yuan’s target for killing!

When he struck, he gave it his all, amplifying his strength and agility tenfold.

In an unpredictable situation, it sealed Zhu Jun’s fate!

In an instant, Zhang Yuan carried the body into a dark alley.

Excession!

Under Zhang Yuan’s gaze, the body of Zhu Jun, a Tier Four expert, quickly decayed and disintegrated, turning to ashes in the blink of an eye.

Only a set of clothes was left on the ground.

[Source Material +127]

As expected of Tier Four, the Source Material gained from the excession far exceeded that of an ordinary martial artist.

Zhang Yuan considered it a repayment of principal and interest.

He quickly searched through Zhu Jun’s clothes and found no high-value loot.

This was actually quite normal.

As Zhu Jun hurried to the Drunken Flower Tower upon hearing the news, he didn’t even bring his weapon.

Zhang Yuan was not disappointed, rolling up the clothes and tossing them to the side of the alley.

His gaze, aided by the red-eyed crow circling above, was set on the brightly lit Wuwei District not far away!

An Outer Hall Master, an Incense Master, along with a dozen small fry, were not enough to quell Zhang Yuan’s inner fury.

His fighting spirit flared bright as fire.

Soaring straight to the sky!

At the same moment, in Wuwei District, Loyalty and Righteousness Pavilion.

In a warm spring-like room, Martial Might Sect Leader, Zheng Lianhong, was sitting at a desk, concentrating on reviewing documents.

This Tier Five warrior was already over fifty, but looked merely in his thirties, with a resolute face exuding authority without anger, black eyes filled with hidden power, and a demeanor of natural grandeur.

Although the Martial Power Sect was a middle-ranked sect, it occupied a district with thousands of members and disciples, ruling over seven surrounding streets, its strength not to be underestimated.

Furthermore, the sect possessed farms and lands in the Outer Ruins.

Hence, its daily affairs were numerous.

Every day, besides training, Zheng Lianhong had to allocate enough time to handle internal and external sect affairs.

Because the Martial Power Sect was Zheng Lianhong’s alone, granting some power to subordinates was permissible, but only by having control himself could he safely sleep each night.

For more than ten years, Zheng Lianhong’s commitment to this approach remained unwavering.

Suddenly, his brow twitched momentarily.

His hand, writing a document, trembled slightly, skewing the strokes he had just penned.

This Tier Five master frowned slightly.

At that moment, the study door was gently knocked: "Sect Leader, there’s urgent news!"

Zheng Lianhong calmly put down the brush in his hand and said deeply, "Come in."

He had set a rule that when he was handling sect business, no one was to disturb him.

Unless it was something extremely important.

The door opened, and a man in sturdy clothing entered, bowing in greeting: "Sect Leader, urgent news just arrived, Outer Hall Master Zhu Jun had an incident at the Drunken Flower Tower, enemies have attacked, killing over a dozen of our brethren!"

Zheng Lianhong stood up abruptly, a terrifying light flashing in his eyes: "What?"

Outer Hall Master Zhu Jun was one of Zheng Lianhong’s trusted confidants, having followed him for nearly twenty years with unwavering loyalty.

Zhu Jun’s capability, too, was trusted by Zheng Lianhong.

Now an incident had occurred, and in such a disreputable place as the Drunken Flower Tower, no less!

Unable to repress his anger, he demanded, "Who was the assailant?"

The man in sturdy clothing shook his head.

"Never mind."

Zheng Lianhong’s figure flickered, instantly arriving at the door: "Let’s go have a look!"

And as this Martial Might Sect Leader stepped out of the sect’s core, the Loyalty and Righteousness Pavilion, before descending the high stairs, a peculiar feeling arose within him.

As if someone was secretly watching him.

Zheng Lianhong instinctively looked up to the sky.

But all he saw was the pitch-black night sky and the drifting snowflakes.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

He thought his nerves were affected by the news of Zhu Jun’s death, so he didn’t pay much mind, turning to instruct the two guards at the pavilion entrance: "Guard this place well, let no one enter."

The Loyalty and Righteousness Pavilion was not just where Zheng Lianhong handled daily affairs and meetings, but also where he practiced and rested.

This three-story pavilion housed many of the sect leader’s secrets!

The two sturdy, sharp-eyed guards promptly replied: "Understood!"

Zheng Lianhong exhaled deeply, his gaze becoming exceptionally sharp: "Let’s go!"

Elite disciples from the sect, from various directions, arrived, silently and expertly forming a formidable group, heading towards the Drunken Flower Tower.

On the way, two more Tier Four experts joined the group, protecting Zheng Lianhong on both sides.

Torches were held high, their bright flames lighting up all around.

From a distance, it looked like a dragon of fire, quickly moving through Wuwei District!

The entire district, along with several surrounding streets, was all stirred up.

But no one noticed, a shadow using the wind, snow, and night as cover, quietly slipped into Wuwei District.

Cleverly avoiding the patrols within the district, the shadow, like a deceitful charm, approached the Loyalty and Righteousness Pavilion.

A moment later, the shadow silently leapt to the second floor of the pavilion.

The entire figure clung to the outer wall like a gecko.

The two guards at the door knew nothing of this.

The swirling snow not only obscured their sight but also masked the slight sounds above the pavilion.

Providing the perfect opportunity for the infiltrator!
