As a Grade 1 settlement, Jiangbei City had a population of about 300,000.
A Qingshui River ran from north to south, dividing the city into two parts. Among them, the Dongcheng Area was relatively backward and was a gathering place for ordinary residents. Lu Chen lived in the eastern district, and it was the poorest slum.
The Xicheng District, which was separated by a river, was the so-called wealthy district.
Martial artists gathered here. Apart from being the location of the Martial Arts Guild, it was also the gathering place of several major families in Jiangbei City.
The Li family was one of them.
After crossing the Qingshui River and following the main road to the west for a few hundred meters, they could see a courtyard with seven entrances.
This courtyard was decorated magnificently and had a magnificent aura. It was the Li family's mansion. In addition, it was located in a prime location where every inch of land was worth an inch of gold, which further highlighted the Li family's power and status in Jiangbei City.
At this moment.
In the Li family's inner courtyard hall.
Li Zhengnan, who was instructing the servants to handle the family affairs, suddenly stopped and took out a jade token from his pocket. When he saw the contents on it, he could not help but raise his eyebrows and an ominous feeling rose in his heart.
Coincidentally, at this moment, a servant rushed into the hall in a panic and shouted in horror,"Master, something bad has happened!"”
"How can you be so flustered! Didn't he see that the family head was giving instructions?”
A man who looked like a butler sitting beside Li Zhengnan scolded the servant.
" Not good, Master. Little Young Master…he…"
The servant ignored the butler and continued.
"What's wrong with Cen 'er? Speak!"
Li Zhengnan felt even more uneasy. He suddenly stood up, his entire body emitting a strong oppressive aura.
Martial Master!
Seeing that the master was angry, the servant was even more frightened. He trembled and said,"Little Young Master's longevity lamp…is out!"”
Boom!
Before the servant could finish his sentence, Li Zhengnan struck down with his palm, smashing the wooden chair beneath him into pieces. The powerful force did not stop, and the entire hall trembled!
"Lu Chen!"
Li Zhengnan clenched the jade token in his hand tightly.
It turned out that the information displayed on the jade token was the words 'Lu Chen'. At first, Li Zhengnan didn't understand what it meant, but when he heard that his youngest son had died, he understood that this was news that Li Juncen had sent before he died.
Lu Chen must be the murderer of his son!
"Investigate! Even if you have to turn Jiangbei City upside down, you have to find out who Lu Chen is!”Li Zhengnan's face was so dark that water was about to drip out.
Li Jun Cen was the youngest son he loved the most! He was the clan's genius that he had spared no effort to nurture!
He was promoted to a high-level Martial Apprentice at the age of 18. In time, he would definitely become the youngest Martial Apprentice in Jiangbei City. He might even have the chance to be sent to a big city to further his studies.
It could be said that Li Jun Cen was the hope of the Li family's rise!
How could he not be angry when his beloved son was killed!
……
It had to be said that the Li family had some power in Jiangbei City. In less than an hour, all the information about Lu Chen was sent to Li Zhengnan.
A sixteen-year-old warrior? Moreover, it had only been about ten days since he registered as a Martial Apprentice?
"Butler Li, is Lu Chen's information true?”Li Zhengnan didn't quite believe it.
"Lord Patriarch, I didn't dare to believe it at first either. After I asked my acquaintances in the Martial Arts Guild to verify it again and again, it was confirmed that this information was indeed true.”
the butler said respectfully.
"In just ten days, he advanced from a Martial Apprentice to a Martial Warrior. Regardless of whether it was the use of spirit pills or his outstanding talent, this Lu Chen is not a simple character.”
Li Zhengnan narrowed his eyes and said coldly," Fortunately, he's not from the other two families. Otherwise, if such a monster appeared, it would be very disadvantageous to our Li family."”
"What do you mean?" the butler said carefully.
"If you kill my son, it's impossible to recruit him, but you can't let the other two families benefit either! Gather your men and capture him before the other two families discover him. I have my own ways to deal with him!”
Li Zhengnan said gloomily.
"Yes, sir! This lowly one will gather the clan's martial artists right now. Once the hunt is over, I will capture him!”the butler said heavily.
……
Lu Chen didn't know that the Li family was furious. He didn't even know that Li Jun Cen had risked his life to send a message to his father before he died.
At this moment, he was already smiling like a blooming flower.
"We're rich! I didn't expect this useless young master to be so rich!”
Looking at the spoils of war in front of him, Lu Chen's smile was crooked.
Li Jun Cen's bodyguards didn't have much money on them. All of their assets added up to only a few thousand Spirit Coins. On the other hand, Li Jun Cen was extremely fat!
There were more than forty Spirit Coin cards with a face value of 100,000!
Adding on some scattered Spirit Coins, Lu Chen had collected a total of 4.2 million Spirit Coins!
"F * ck! No wonder the protagonists of fantasy novels liked to kill people and steal treasures. It was much faster to earn money than to kill monsters and sell materials!”Lu Chen counted the spirit coins and felt very happy.
This was not what excited Lu Chen the most.
Other than the 4.2 million Spirit Coins, he also found two secret manuals on Li Jun Cen. After the system's analysis, Lu Chen realized that these were actually two Mortal Rank Mid-Rank secret manuals!
One of them was a body-tempering cultivation technique, and the other was a sword technique.
Ordinary mid-tier, a cultivation technique that only the big families and the Warrior Guild had!
"Looks like I'll have to stop hunting for the time being. The most important thing is to find a place to digest the spirit coins and cultivation techniques.”Lu Chen thought to himself.
After all, the hunting event would last for half a month. It would be more efficient and safer to spend a few days to raise his strength to a higher level before going deep into the wilderness to hunt!
After making up his mind, Lu Chen began to search and finally found a suitable cave to hide in.
To be on the safe side, Lu Chen used a stone to block the hole, leaving only a ventilation hole before he began to cultivate.
" System, break down the spirit coins!"
After plundering a few million Spirit Coins, the first thing he did was to replenish his Spiritual Energy Value!
"The system has detected spirit coins. Would you like to decompose them?”
"Disintegrate them all!"
Lu Chen did not hesitate.
Then, the spirit coin in Lu Chen's hand emitted a faint light and quickly dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
