Chapter 269: Thousand-jin Shadowsteel
Lu Zhen observed the countless criminals screaming in agony as they made their way towards the innermost part.
"Don't you have subordinates to take care of this mess?" Lu Zhen suddenly asked the busty milf walking in front of him.
Li Jiao turned around and smiled. "They are currently on holiday, young master. After all, through the heroic deeds of the young master, the city has finally been united, and the young master has become the leader of the entire Phoenix City at the age of nineteen. A leader is a dragon among men-"
"Hmm," Lu Zhen nodded with a frown, "stop bootlicking me. And show me your results. If you have obtained good results, I will reward you greatly."
"Thank you, young leader," Li Jiao bowed with a smile on her face.
Soon, they reached the place where the cloaked figure had arrived at the innermost parts, where two martial trainees guarded the door.
Lu Zhen curiously walked to the cell and lightly knocked on it.
Bang!
The light knock vibrated the entire cell; however, it couldn't do much to the cell, causing Lu Zhen to be a little surprised.
"I used at least the strength of a third-stage martial artist," he mused to himself.
"What material did you make it from?" He looked at Li Jiao with curious eyes.
"It is made of a Thousand-jin Shadowsteel, young master," she said with a bow.

Lu Zhen nodded his head. He had heard about this material before. It was very common in the mines surrounding the entire Phoenix City.
However, it was pretty useless except for its heavy and durable attributes because it didn't have any capacity to absorb. So, although this material could be useful, it was only for mortals at most, making it very unpopular here.
The other materials might not be as durable or heavy; however, once they are supplied with Qi, they become a terrifying weapon of mass destruction, especially when used with a combat art, making their durability and flexibility even greater than a thousand-jin Shadowsteel.
Thinking of these, Lu Zhen nodded his head while looking at the cell.
"Not bad, you at least know to put security even if there are holidays…" Lu Zhen commended her with amusement. "Let's enter."
"Yes, young master." Li Jiao respectfully nodded her head as she looked at the two guard women.
The two women bowed their heads and sidelined themselves while opening the door to the cage.
Lu Zhen's vision was filled with darkness as a dim light lit up the face of Lu Yuan, who was sitting there with closed eyes; he was completely unharmed.
"How did you even get information out of him?" he asked with a surprised expression on his face.
"Oh, you will know soon, young master." Li Jiao said with a smile.
Lu Zhen curiously looked at her before he turned back, seeing the cloaked man again.
His crimson eyes turned golden as a blue screen materialised in front of him while looking at the man.
[Chen Yifan] (half-sleep, hypnosis)
[Lifespan: hundred years]
[Qi Cultivation: Third-stage martial artist]
[Proficiency: Shadow mastery(mid), knife skills(master), Disguise(master)]
[Talent: Perception (low-grade)]
"Hmm." Lu Zhen looked at this with amused eyes.
"Did you use an illusion on these guys?"
Li Jiao was stunned when she heard this, and her eyes widened with shock. "He was able to tell this with a glance," her body trembled.
"This man is really terrifying…" she looked at the broad back of Lu Zhen with a terrified expression.
He was already terrifying enough with his strength reaching such a high stage in his age which was already unprecdented, however, the more terrifying thing was his intelligence. If brawn and brains are combined together, they become a terrifying entity.
Thinking of this, Li Jiao warned herself never to offend Lu Zhen again.
"Yes, young master, it is a kind of an illusion."
"Kind of a?" Lu Zhen looked at her.
"Yes, this is a seduction method," she said with a smirk on her face.
"Oh, a seduction method, huh…" Lu Zhen thought with a nod of his head. She wasn't given the position as the head of the torture chamber for nothing.
"But more of a direct approach could work too," a sneer formed on Lu Zhen's face.
He walked up to the man and released his terrifying aura, causing the entire cell to tremble as if an earthquake occurred.
Chen Yifan abruptly opened his eyes with shock, seeing the bulky Lu Zhen staring at him with a sneer.
"Huh."
Lu Zhen caught him by the neck and focused all his aura into him.
Before Chen Yifan could even gather his thoughts, his body already froze.
Lu Zhen nonchalantly rolled up his right sleeve, revealing an eerie black-coloured tattoo of a butterfly imprinted on his hand.
Although his body froze, his mind could still work perfectly fine.
"What is happening-" Chen Yifan's eyes widened with sheer horror as the butterfly tattoo with eerie darkness glowed with a red light.
A red glowing light brightened the entire chamber, under Chen Yifan's horrified eyes the red light entered his body.
Chen Yifan wanted to fight against these red lights; however, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't resist the red light as it ruthlessly grabbed something very important from him, though he didn't know what it was.
Just then, another will inside his body fought against the red light, clashing against it. Inside his body, the two powers fought head-on, using his consciousness as their battleground.
Ahhhh!
He cried out in pain, his eyes rolling back, and he fainted directly onto the ground.
Lu Zhen frowned as he looked at the man. "What just happened?"
It had never been the case that his tattoo of Maya failed to work on someone, but now it did.
The red light was still inside the man, engaged in a battle with a strange power within the man's consciousness, and Lu Zhen's butterfly tattoo had lost its glowing as if reverting back to normal tattoo.
