Chapter 20: Eliminating Evil, Bloodstained Deity!

Dead!

Li Ji, a terrifying martial artist of dirty refining, was dead.

He died at the hands of a stranger in black.

In the desolate temple, there were still over a dozen bandits left. They all stared at Lu Changsheng with fear in their eyes.

They seemed unable to believe that their formidable leader had just died.

However, there were still some ruthless ones among them who, rather than fearing death, were incited to violence and rushed towards Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng's eyes were ice-cold.

His principle was to eliminate evil without mercy, to eradicate it completely.

Li Ji's subordinates, every one of them had blood on their hands; none were innocent.

"Swish."

In the next moment, Lu Changsheng's figure flickered, and the dagger in his hand made a light swipe.

"Spurt."

One bandit after another clutched their throats and fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of bandits lay dead on the ground.

The temple was filled with corpses.

The pungent smell of blood was nauseating.

Li Ji's bandits were all dead, not a single one escaped.

After all, with Lu Changsheng's speed, it was almost impossible to escape in front of him.

Lu Changsheng stood quietly in the desolate temple. Strangely, despite killing so many people, he had hardly any blood on him.

In a corner of the temple, many Miaoshou Garden members crouched.

When Lu Changsheng's gaze fell on the members of Miaoshou Garden, Zheng Renxin and the others' faces turned pale.

Some even trembled all over.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng was even more terrifying in their eyes than Dragontooth Warlord Li Ji.

They didn't know if Lu Changsheng would kill them to eliminate witnesses.

However, in the end, Lu Changsheng turned away and began to search the bodies of Li Ji and the others.

"What is he doing?"

"It seems like he's looking for something."

Zheng Renxin and other dirty refining martial artists exchanged glances, seemingly communicating with their eyes.

But no matter what Lu Changsheng was doing, they couldn't afford to make any reckless moves now, for fear of angering this mysterious person.

Lu Changsheng was indeed searching the corpses.

It was a good habit.

He found a large number of silver bills from the bodies. Most of these silver bills had been looted from Miaoshou Garden, but Lu Changsheng had no intention of returning them.

In fact, there was even more silver.

However, Lu Changsheng had no intention of leaving Nanyang City with so much silver. He couldn't carry it all, so he had to leave it behind.

"Hmm? What's this... a martial arts manual?"

Suddenly, Lu Changsheng found a mysterious martial arts manual from Li Ji's body.

This martial arts manual didn't seem to be at the level of divine power, but it also didn't appear to be a dirty refining martial arts manual; it was rather mysterious.

However, now that Li Ji was dead, Lu Changsheng had no way to inquire about it.

On the other bodies, Lu Changsheng also found some martial skills and techniques.

"Boom."

Outside the desolate temple, thunder rumbled, and inside the temple, the deity statue was stained with blood.

After searching the bodies, Lu Changsheng stood up.

As he passed by the members of Miaoshou Garden, he didn't even glance at them.

"Swoosh."

Lu Changsheng's figure disappeared into the night in an instant and was gone in a moment.

"Huff..."

Zheng Renxin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Quick, untie us."

They had all been tied up.

However, now that Li Ji's men were all dead and there was no one to guard them, these ropes posed no challenge to them.

Soon, the members of Miaoshou Garden were all freed.

They looked at the bodies strewn all over the desolate temple and couldn't help but feel a chill.

"That masked person was ruthless, eliminating every single one of them without mercy."

Some of Miaoshou Garden's martial artists whispered.

"Hmph."

"Without mercy? What are we then?"

Zheng Renxin snorted coldly and glanced at the others, who could only hang their heads.

Zheng Renxin was right; if the masked person was truly merciless and didn't leave anyone alive, what would become of them?

In theory, they should all be killed.

"Could it be that this person has some connection with our Miaoshou Garden?"

"But where in Nanyang does our Zheng family have such a powerful friend?"

"Even Dragontooth Warlord Li Ji died at the hands of this masked person. It's impossible to find anyone in the entire Nanyang City who's so formidable below the divine power realm..."

While everyone was discussing, suddenly, there was the sound of creaking wagon wheels coming from outside the desolate temple.

Zheng Renxin's face changed slightly, as if he had thought of something.

"It should be Yifeng returning."

"Now that Li Ji is dead, we've done away with the evil. These bandits should all be killed!"

"Everyone, be sure to kill those bandits..."

Zheng Renxin began to make arrangements and preparations, quietly waiting.

Soon, a group of bandits arrived outside the desolate temple.

These bandits were carrying more than a dozen carts of wealth, and they were all smiles. Even before entering the temple, they were laughing and saying, "Lord, we've had a rich harvest this time, a dozen carts of gold and silver..."

As soon as they entered the desolate temple, the bandits immediately smelled a strong smell of blood.

At the same time, they saw the corpses on the ground.

They even saw the corpse of Dragontooth Warlord Li Ji.

"Lord!"

The bandits exclaimed in shock.

However, these bandits were quite alert. They almost immediately turned and ran, but it was too late.

"Evil scum, die!"

Zheng Renxin was the first to strike, thrusting his sword into the back of a bandit, piercing him through.

Blood mixed with rainwater flowed onto the ground.

"Kill!"

With Zheng Renxin's command, the martial artists of Miaoshou Garden also rushed out, attacking the dozen or so bandits.

The slaughter ended in a moment.

After all, Miaoshou Garden had a significant advantage.

However, Zheng Renxin's face turned somewhat dark.

"Four top dirty refining experts and dozens of martial artists surrounding and killing a dozen or so bandits at the blood-strengthening and bone-forging realms, and they still let one escape?"

Zheng Renxin was very angry but also felt helpless.

The Zheng family in Nanyang had been living in wealth and luxury for too long, rarely engaging in battles. This had resulted in them having an absolute advantage but still allowing someone to escape.

However, fortunately, it was only one person who managed to escape, and he was just a martial artist at the bone-forging realm.

Moreover, the leader of this group of bandits, Dragontooth Warlord Li Ji, was already "dead" and couldn't cause any trouble.

So there shouldn't be any problems!

"Lord, it's quite troublesome to deal with so many corpses. How about we report to the authorities and let the officials take care of them all?"

Someone suggested.

"Report to the authorities?"

Zheng Renxin's face changed instantly, and he immediately rebuked, "No, absolutely not reporting to the authorities."

"These bandits, especially Dragontooth Warlord Li Ji, have already been announced by the imperial army as dead in the official announcement."

"A while ago, some officials even got promoted because of this. If you report it now and say that Li Ji didn't die, what will those promoted officials think?"

"Heh, the imperial army falsely reported military achievements and even killed innocent people. I don't know if those officials will be punished, but if we report to the authorities, Miaoshou Garden will definitely be in trouble!"

"So, you guys take care of the bandits' bodies. Remember, keep your mouths shut to outsiders. Just say they were a group of ordinary bandits and don't mention Dragontooth Warlord Li Ji."

The members of Miaoshou Garden shuddered, understanding the seriousness of the situation.

Dragontooth Warlord Li Ji had "died" a long time ago, and they absolutely couldn't let him "die" again.

They had to pretend they knew nothing.

"By the way, that mysterious masked person may have some connection with our Miaoshou Garden..."

One of the dirty refining martial artists whispered.

They weren't stupid either; the fact that the mysterious masked person killed Li Ji and the other bandits but didn't harm them was suspicious in itself.

"Don't investigate the identity of the mysterious person any further."

"Just pretend you didn't see the mysterious person. Remember, today's events have no mysterious person, no Dragontooth Warlord Li Ji, only a group of ordinary bandits that Miaoshou Garden defeated."

"Yes, Lord."

The people began to quickly bury the bodies and clean up the desolate temple.

...

Lu Changsheng changed out of his night attire and returned to his small courtyard.

He poured a glass of wine and poured it on the ground in the direction of Old Man Wen's corpse.

"Old Man Wen, I've avenged you..."

Lu Changsheng muttered softly.

Killing Li Ji had finally quieted his heart.

With a calm heart, he could now cultivate.

His qi and blood surged, and he began to temper his bones.

One round, two rounds, three rounds...

Outside, thunder rumbled, and heavy rain poured down. However, Lu Changsheng's heart was extraordinarily calm, and even his cultivation efficiency seemed to have greatly improved.

"Boom."

Suddenly, with the thunderclap, Lu Changsheng's entire body shook.

Then, a line of small words appeared in his mind.
