Martial Master

While Qin Chen and the others were cleaning up the aftermath, everything that happened in the Liu Pavilion was quickly spreading through Wu City like the wind.

It instantly stirred up a huge uproar.

The Liu Pavilion was different from the Zhou Family and the Xu Family. As an open Alchemy Pavilion, the Liu Pavilion's reputation in Wu City was far greater than that of the Zhou Family and Xu Family.

After all, every martial artist might need medicinal pills for cultivation. Regardless of whether they had previously traded with the Liu Pavilion, at the very least, every martial artist in Wu City would pay attention to a medicinal force like the Liu Pavilion.

But now, the Pavilion Master Liu Cheng of the Liu Pavilion had actually been killed by the Xu Family and a young man within the Liu Pavilion. This news immediately triggered an earthquake in Wu City.

Everyone was in an uproar.

Was the Xu Family seeking death?

Everyone knew that the Liu Pavilion had a very close relationship with the Zhu Family, one of the Four Great Forces. The actions of the Xu Family were not only targeting the Liu Pavilion; to outsiders, they were also slapping the face of the Zhu Family.

In an instant, everyone's attention turned to the Zhu Family, wanting to see how they would handle the situation.

At the Zhu Family estate.

This was an extremely grand estate, covering an area of over a hundred acres, located in the most prosperous part of Wu City.

As one of the Four Great Forces in Wu City, the Zhu Family held immense power, being like a behemoth within Wu City, instilling fear in others.

"Bang!"

A delicate redwood table was smashed to pieces by a giant hand. The Second Master of the Zhu Family, Zhu Hongjun, was currently looking at the steward reporting to him with a gloomy expression, his eyes filled with anger.

"What did you say? The Liu Pavilion was destroyed by the Xu Family?"

He spoke in shock, disbelief evident in his tone.

"Yes, my subordinate has carefully investigated the source of the news. The Liu Pavilion was indeed destroyed just now by the Xu Family and a young man. Pavilion Master Liu Cheng and his three top experts have all perished, with none surviving."

The steward knelt on the ground, trembling, his head lowered.

"How is that possible? The Xu Family is just a small family; how can they be compared to the Liu Pavilion?"

Moreover, within the Liu Pavilion, there were formations laid by my Zhu Family. Let alone the Xu Family, even an ordinary early-stage Mystic Level martial artist wouldn't be able to easily break through."

Even after receiving confirmation, Zhu Hongjun still found it hard to believe.

"My subordinate heard that the young man brought by the Xu Family seems to be a formation master as well. With just one punch, he shattered the formation outside the Liu Pavilion. His mastery of formations is extremely formidable."

"One punch shattered the formation at the entrance of the Liu Pavilion?"

Zhu Hongjun's eyes bulged, then he coldly snorted, "Hmph, I don't know where this news came from, but it's simply nonsense."

He wasn't unaware of the formation at the entrance of the Liu Pavilion; after all, he was the one who had someone set it up. It was a pinnacle third-tier formation, and it was actually shattered by a young man with a single punch? What a joke!

If it were him, Zhu Hongjun wouldn't have that capability either.

"Then, you immediately take people to the Liu Pavilion to see what exactly happened. Remember, don't be fooled by some rumors. Also, regardless of whether Liu Cheng is dead or not, the Liu Pavilion must be taken down. That place was constructed with a significant effort by my Zhu Family and cannot fall into the hands of others."

"Understood."

The steward immediately took his orders and exited.

A young man? Hmph, I want to see who dares to run wild in Wu City.

Zhu Hongjun's face was dark, his expression grim.

Qin Chen naturally didn't know that the Zhu Family, one of the Four Great Forces in Wu City, had already set their sights on him. Even if he did know, he certainly wouldn't care.
