Huff huff~~

The wind is quite strong today, with the gale whipping up dust in the air.

The sky is overcast, as if it's about to rain.

"A bit of bad luck."

Lin Zheyu looked up at the sky; if it starts raining, it's going to be quite troublesome in the mountains and forests.

If the rain comes down heavily, the sound of the bamboo whistle will be drowned out, and won't carry far.

He tapped the tip of his foot lightly, set his course for Dabashan, and sped up, hoping to find a suitable spot to shelter from the rain before it starts.

The direction of Dabashan is opposite to Lion Valley.

To avoid attracting attention, he continued to head in the direction of Beast Roar Mountain as before.

After he had run over three hundred meters, five sturdy men started following him.

"Big Brother, I've heard that deep inside Beast Roar Mountain, there are many opportunities and all kinds of treasures that can quickly enhance one's strength."

"I've often heard stories in the past of hunters who, upon entering the mountains, stumbled upon a herb that emitted a strong medicinal aroma and, after consuming it, had their strength break through to the Qi Blood Realm."

"Do you think Lin Zheyu keeps going into the deep mountains every day because he's come across an opportunity? Otherwise, there wouldn't be a need to go out every day."

"This guy has only been training for six months and has already cultivated to the Peak of Bone Forging, which is really astounding. If it weren't for some opportunity, who would believe it?" A man said.

"Yeah, I've also heard about such rumors."

"After hearing those rumors, I spent more than three months searching in Beast Roar Mountain, but aside from poisonous snakes and fierce beasts, I didn't come across any miraculous herbs."

Another man replied.

"With your luck, losing nine out of ten bets, and you still hope to find a treasure herb in Beast Roar Mountain, you're daydreaming." His companion said with a laugh.

"Right, right, those who can find treasure herbs are the darlings of heaven, blessed with great fortune."

"This kid managed to escape with his life from Jiunan City and is thriving in Songyi City, clearly someone with great fortune."

"Maybe he really did come across some opportunity." Another companion said.

"Quiet down, the target has entered the forest, keep the pace up, don't let him get away." The leader said.

Everyone fell silent.

They quickened their pace and dashed into the dense forest.

This path leads to a small trail going to Beast Roar Mountain, and early in the morning, apart from them, there was no one else in sight.

The group rushed into the dense forest, running just over two hundred meters.

Suddenly, four sharp gleams shot out from the forest, flashing like lightning through the eerie woods, piercing accurately into the foreheads of four sturdy men.

Thud, thud, thud

Crunch, crunch.

The sound of cracking skulls echoed, and the four robust figures, carried by a massive force, were knocked backward onto the ground, making a heavy thudding noise.

Their eyes gradually lost their sparkle, and before they could react, their lives were taken by flying knives.

The one who barely escaped with his life found his companions lifeless in the blink of an eye, frightening him into wetting his pants, and he fell to the ground, trembling all over.

"Don't, don't kill me..."

He looked at the figure walking out from the woods, propping himself up with his hands on the ground as he frantically retreated backward.

The man's face was filled with shock and terror; the person who killed his four companions in the blink of an eye turned out to be their target.

The one who only had the strength of the Peak of Bone Forging, Lin Zheyu!

Damn Peak of Bone Forging, this kid must be a master at the Qi Blood Realm!

"Why are you following me?"

Lin Zheyu looked at the man coldly, walking toward him step by step.

A terrifying and domineering aura rose from him, pressing down on the man, crushing his spirit.

Lin Zheyu discovered that when facing someone with a weak mental will, using force as an interrogation tool was unexpectedly effective.

"It's, it's the higher-ups' orders. They said to investigate your movements." The man said.

"I'm just a martial artist at the Bone Forging Realm. Why investigate me?"

Lin Zheyu frowned slightly, wondering how the Xing Family had targeted him when he hadn't left any clues.

'Even my eldest brother, who was at the Peak of Refining Internal Organs, was easily killed by your flying knife. You are far from an ordinary martial artist at the Bone Forging Realm!'

The man grumbled internally but didn't dare to retort.

He was now scared out of his wits, single-mindedly wanting to stay alive.

"You're not the main target of the investigation."

"Two Qi Blood Realm Elders of the Xing Family were killed, infuriating the Clan Leader, who then listed all potentially involved individuals, including you."

"They suspect you might be involved and know something, so they had us follow you to figure out why you go out every day, whether you're really just hunting in Beast Roar Mountain."

The man blurted everything out.

In reality, truly resolute individuals who are unafraid of interrogation are rare; most people, after a bit of intimidation or torture, confess everything.

"Spare me, Sir. I absolutely won't speak about your matters."

"I'm willing to serve... Ah!!"

The man began to desperately plead for his life, but before he could finish speaking, his head slipped off his neck, the cut extremely smooth.

Blood spurted out fiercely.

After clarifying the reason, Lin Zheyu breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out they just thought he might be involved, suspecting he knew some information, rather than directly accusing him.

No wonder the Xing Family made such a big move, wanting to thoroughly investigate someone even not closely related.

Within one day, losing two Qi Blood Realm Elders was indeed a severe blow to the Xing Family.

"Killing these people might make the Xing Family genuinely suspicious of me." Lin Zheyu said to himself.

However, he wasn't too worried.

Soon, his strength would be boosted to Qi Blood Four Transformations, and by then, there would likely be few in Songyi City who could threaten him.
