Chapter 62: There's More to It Than Meets the Eye

e two things can be done, for all the other members of the Zhao family who have not committed any crimes before, I can let them live and leave Dongzhou!""Hahaha..." Zhao Yuehua laughed angrily.Everyon...[ ]

"Lu Fud, long time no see!" Luo Zhenzhou then turned to Lu Yue and spoke.

"Lu Fudu, it's been a while. I can see your strength has improved again. Not bad!" Lu Yue smiled faintly.

"Lu, the deputy governor, commended me. Compared to you, my clumsy skills are nothing!" Luo Zhenzhou responded with a laugh.

Then, she looked back at Ling Hao and continued to ask: “Marshal, what should we do next”

"Alright, you don't have to worry about the rest. Take your people back!" Ling Hao waved his hand.

"Received!" Luo Zhenzhou bowed again and tentatively asked, "Marshal, what time do you have these two days I'd like to visit you."

"Is something the matter" Ling Hao turned his head and asked.

"It's nothing, just a bit of hospitality as the host." Luo Zhenzhou responded after a slight pause.

"I'll give you a call another day!" Ling Hao said faintly after glancing at him.

With his sharp eyesight, how could he not see that there was something on the other person's mind.

"Okay!" Luo Zhenzhou nodded and then turned to leave.

As for what's left, there's no need for him to worry. Not to mention the fact that there are still people from the Hidden Gate, even if only Ling Hao or Lu Yue were alone, against a larger force they would be nothing more than a swarm of ants.

Plop!

After Luo Zhenzhou's people left, everyone in the Zhao family knelt down, trembling all over with no blood on their faces.

Especially Zhao Yuehua, his face was filled with utter astonishment and despair!

He just couldn't figure it out, why would someone as important as Ling Shuai come to avenge the Zheng family!

If he had known about the Zheng family's formidable background beforehand, even if you gave him a hundred guts, he wouldn't have dared to attack the Zheng family!

He knew this time the Zhao family was truly finished!

He now regrets most of all calling his eldest son back!

Originally, he had expected his son's abilities and family background to be enough to shield the Zhao family from all troubles.

Now it seems, I pushed my own son into the abyss with my own hands.

"Ling... Ling Shuai... Back then, the Zheng family's affair was... done by my three brothers... It has nothing to do with the Zhao family's younger generation..."

"I... We are willing to die to atone... Please, Ling Shuai, spare them..."

Zhao Yuehua, his face filled with despair, pleaded for mercy while kowtowing fiercely. His forehead was soon marred by a deep cut from the impact.

"Please...please, let them go..." Zhao Yuehui and Zhao Yeming, the two brothers, also kowtowed in plea.

"Remember what I said before" Ling Hao spoke softly, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it!"

"Sorry... I'm so sorry... Please... please leave a wisp of incense for the Zhao family..." Zhao Yuehua kowtowed desperately.

Five years ago, when your Zhao family slaughtered the Zheng family, didn't the Zheng family also have many people kneeling down and begging for mercy from you

Ling Hao spoke again, "But what about the results From the head of the Zheng family to the cleaning lady, none were spared!"

"Back then, you probably couldn't have imagined that this day would come, could you"

"I..." Zhao Yuehua opened his mouth, but remained speechless.

"You... you really want to kill them all" At this point, Zhao Jiajie gritted his teeth and stood up.

"You don't seem too convinced, do you" Ling Hao spoke softly.

"Everyone talks about you as if you're some kind of legend. I wanted to see for myself today!" Zhao Jiajie took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.

"Xiao Jie, what are you going to do Get down on your knees!" Zhao Yuehua cried out in shock.

He didn't expect his son to be so crazy, daring to provoke Ling Shuai like this. He really doesn't know how to write the word "death"!

"You're such an idiot!" Lu Yue said nonchalantly.

"What qualifications do you have to teach the General If you want to fight, I'll accompany you. As long as you can last a round in my hands, I'll let you live!"

"That's what you said, don't go back on your word!" A glimmer flashed in Zhao Jiajie's eyes when he heard Lu Yue's words.

Even though he was expecting certain death, a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.

Although he knew Lu Yue's skills were not as good as Ling Hao's, they were still beyond his reach.

But, as a candidate for the position of Master Attendant, he had his own pride. At less than thirty years old, he was already at the Battlemaster realm of cultivation.

He still didn't believe it. Even with all his power, he couldn't withstand Lu Yue for even a single round!

Whew!

A surge of powerful aura emanated from Zhao Jiajie, and immediately after, he charged toward Lu Yue like a ferocious beast.

He unleashed his strongest trump card with a single move, and a piercing whistle of breaking air filled the air.

“After you go down, remember to apologize to those innocent people you've wronged by kneeling and bowing your head!” Lu Yue said calmly, taking two steps forward and raising his hand to punch out.

Bang!

The next moment, Zhao Jiajie, who was charging halfway through, exploded like a ripe watermelon.

After a cloud of blood mist, there were only scattered bloodstains on the ground.

"Jeer…"

Seeing this, Zhao Yuehua let out a heart-wrenching cry, his whole body collapsing like mud.

"Do you have anything else to say" Ling Hao looked at Zhao Yuehua and spoke lightly.

"Only...only if you let go of the other Zhao family members, I...I'll tell you a secret."

Zhao Yuehua knew he couldn't survive, but he had to leave a trace of incense for the Zhao family.

"Then it depends on whether your so-called secret can save the lives of your entire Zhao family!" Ling Hao said coldly.

"Actually, five years ago, the Zheng family massacre was not as simple as it seemed..." Zhao Yuehua took a deep breath before responding.

"What do you mean" Ling Hao frowned slightly.

"We three have indeed always wanted to make a move on the Zheng family, but we don't have much confidence..." Zhao Yuehua paused for a moment and continued.

"Unless someone reaches out to us first, we wouldn't act so quickly."

"Among those who later attacked the Zheng family, the two most powerful were also directly sent by the other party."

"Hmm!" Upon hearing this, Ling Hao frowned again.

He clearly didn't expect that the incident back then would have such hidden details.

I couldn't help but recall the scene from five years ago. The two of them were clearly far more skilled than anyone else.

At that time, among the martial arts experts of the Zheng family, besides his adoptive father, Mo Lao was the strongest, with the cultivation of a War Master.

With Mo Lao's skills, he was undoubtedly the top martial artist in Dongzhou at that time. However, in the hands of his opponent, he couldn't even withstand ten rounds before being severely injured.

Looking back now, that person at the time must have already been a master in the late stages of the warmaster realm.

Apart from those two, the most skilled among the rest were only at the initial stage of becoming a Warmaster!

"Few people know about this, not even Liu Jiayao. Only the heads of our two families, Wang Tao and I, are aware." Zhao Yuehua continued.

"Who is the other party" Ling Hao asked coldly.u Tianquan's location, then you're on your own!" A chill emanated from behind Ling Hao."I see you guys are really tired of living!" Wu Guo-fu responded angrily, then raised his hand and waved: "Come h...
