Chapter 98: Chapter 22: Five Secret Manuals, Zhou Family Member

After Shen Qing gave the command, the room instantly burst into chaos.

Seeing their boss killed in the blink of an eye, Eagle's subordinates used all their tricks to desperately flee.

Unfortunately, the hunters waiting outside had already set a trap, and these men unwittingly ran straight into it.

The sound of animal traps snapping shut continuously exploded both inside and outside the courtyard, mixing with screams of agony, one after another.

Shen Qing shook the blood from his hands and strolled leisurely inside the room.

Anyone foolish enough to come close was instantly killed by his touch.

Shen Qing's speed and ruthlessness in killing made the thugs inside tremble with fear.

In their eyes, killing a person was just like slaughtering a chicken.

No, it was even simpler than killing a chicken.

This massacre had no turning point, as Shen Qing and his group slaughtered all of Eagle's subordinates with overwhelming strength.

Shen Xiaohu wiped the blood from his face and approached Shen Qing saying, "Brother Qingzi, it's all done."

"Hmm," Shen Qing glanced at the much matured Shen Xiaohu, then shifted his gaze to the Martial Mechanism Bomb in front of him and examined it.

One end of the Martial Mechanism Bomb box had a ring-like trigger mechanism, while the other end was wrapped in iron sheet.

After looking carefully for a while and understanding its principle, Shen Qing couldn't help but laugh silently in amazement.

He hadn't expected that this world would have created something similar to a wooden-handled grenade.

According to them, a martial master below the Qi Cultivation Realm couldn't withstand the power of this Martial Mechanism Bomb just with their flesh and blood.

In other words, from the Qi Cultivation Realm and above, this Martial Mechanism Bomb would be of no concern.

Martial Arts cultivation has its merits when developed deeply enough.

Shen Qing tucked the Martial Mechanism Bomb into his bosom, seeing that all of Eagle's gang had been executed, a smile surfaced on his face.

It was time for the crowd-pleasing segment of searching the corpses.

He wondered what they would find this time.

Shen Qing signaled for everyone to start searching through the room.

Since the room's occupants were already dead, they had no reservations; they smashed any boxes they saw and dismantled any chests they found.

Eagle's stronghold was turned upside down, nearly lifting the roof off.

Indeed, there were quite a few treasures.

Seven golden leaves, a short dagger, and countless silver and copper coins.

As per the old rule, split fifty-fifty.

Shen Qing alone took five parts, and the remaining five parts were shared among the others.

Everyone was very satisfied, having made a killing.

"Qingzi, come take a look at this."

Just as everyone was about to leave, Tian Xiaohu squatted on Eagle's bed, lifted the quilt, knocked on the bed board, and said to Shen Qing.

Shen Qing walked over, curious, "What's up?"

Tian Xiaohu seriously said, "It sounds hollow, and there are gaps around."

"You mean there is something?"

Tian Xiaohu nodded emphatically and said, "But it's stuck tight; I can't open it."

Shen Qing looked down and pointed up with his finger.

Pff!

With a muffled sound, Shen Qing directly pointed out a hole and easily flipped over a small wooden board.

Tian Xiaohu's face twitched, momentarily speechless.

He straightened his neck forward and looked inside.

There, the cupboard glaringly contained several Martial Arts Manuals.

Upon closer inspection, there were as many as five.

Illusion Breaking Fist, Netherworld Ghost Steps, Eight Extremities Collapse, Wuji Tiangang Kick, Dragon Roar Armor.

"This is…"

Tian Xiaohu suddenly became excited.

It was well known that any Martial Arts Manual on the market starts at tens of taels, and more profound Martial Arts could reach hundreds of taels.

If there was an annotated version of profound Martial Arts, they were priceless.

Never expected there would be five of them here.

"Qingzi, look at this..."

Shen Qing was very calm and did not get as excited as Tian Xiaohu.

The truly good Martial Arts Skills were passed down through lineage, rarely leaked to the outside.

Because they could not decipher the hidden codes within, they also could not ensure that the copied text was error-free.

With Martial Arts Skills, a single wrong character could lead completely astray, missing the mark by miles.

Shen Qing calmly said, "This Martial Arts isn't that great, otherwise the Eagle wouldn't be so weak."

His cold reality check quickly cooled Tian Xiaohu down.

Right.

If the Martial Arts here were so powerful, why would the Eagle be so weak?

Great Zhou didn't lack clever individuals, diligently studying various Martial Arts.

The better the Martial Arts, the easier it was practiced by many, the easier it was to deduce patterns, and the lower the requirement for Sight.

Only low-level Martial Arts were difficult to practice, demanding this perception, that Sight.

The reason everyone wanted to get into the government office was because there were plenty of opportunities to practice Martial Arts.

Once you entered the government office, entered the court of Great Zhou, regardless of age or perception, everyone had the chance to soar to the heavens and seek enlightenment.

Unlike them, miserably begging everywhere they went.

Shen Qing took out the Martial Arts, saying, "However, we shouldn't lose heart. My uncle, the Hall Master, is well-informed and knowledgeable about many Martial Arts. I'll take these skills to him tomorrow for a check to see if they're practicable, and how they should be practiced."

"That settles it, I'll listen to you," Tian Xiaohu nodded vigorously.

"Let's go."

Shen Qing flipped off the bed and walked out of the hall with Tian Xiaohu.

At this time, they saw Shen Xiaohu squatting on the ground, staring fixedly at several women.

The women were motionless in the corner, and nobody paid attention to them when the fight broke out.

A few young hunters did have some ideas, but when they saw others looting corpses for money, they temporarily dropped the subject.

Shen Qing walked over and kicked Shen Xiaohu, saying, "I see you can't even walk when you see women anywhere. Last time at the Tang's house, you kept staring at the widow's chest, and I'm going to tell Uncle this time that it's time to find you a wife."

Shen Xiaohu squatted down on his bottom, complaining, "I didn't do anything. Brother Qingzi, take a closer look, they seem a bit odd."

"What's odd?"

"Their gaze is so dull, and their faces are still red until now."

Shen Qing looked over and indeed, something was off. Sёarᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The women were like wooden figures, seemingly at the mercy of others, lacking all vitality of living people.

One of them was not very attractive, but her skin was soft, clearly different from the other three.

Tian Xiaohu whispered, "They've been drugged."

"Drugged?"

"Just some despicable tricks," Tian Xiaohu said, "Like slapping mud on them. Use some potion on their nose and mouth, and they lose consciousness. These women must have been abducted from somewhere."

Shen Qing sighed, "Then there is no helping it, let's go, get someone to take them to the government office."

Although he was ruthless now, he hadn't reached the point of killing everyone he saw.

These women had done him no wrong, and he had no intention of going out of his way to kill them.

Since they were neither relatives nor friends, sending them to the government office was Shen Qing doing his utmost duty.

Shen Xiaohu reluctantly followed Shen Qing and Tian Xiaohu as they walked out.

However, he had only walked a few steps when he suddenly paused and called out, "Wait a minute."

Shen Qing and Tian Xiaohu stopped and turned back to look.

Shen Xiaohu said seriously, "Did you hear any of them talking?"

Shen Qing focused his attention, and with Shen Xiaohu's reminder, he indeed heard faint murmuring.

The sound was very soft.

If one were not listening carefully, they wouldn't hear it at all.

If Shen Qing hadn't deliberately listened, even with his keen senses he would have struggled to catch it.

"Zhou Family... send me back to the Zhou Family... I am the Zhou Family... miss... my father... will not forgive... you..."
