Celestial Master: I Have an Otherworld-Chapter 232 - 82: Five Thunders Hand!
No more than three!
And in the military camp, even a Flawless Martial Artist is no match for Song Kewang; if the White Lotus Sect could have killed him, they would have acted long ago.
"Forget it."
Fang Zheng shook his head:
"It’s none of my business."

In the following days, unexpected changes began to occur in the city.
Even Hundred Households Commander Kong, who was responsible for looking after General Song, was leaving early and returning late, looking exhausted, and believers of the White Lotus Sect even launched a few counterattacks.
The situation that had originally been suppressed was now showing signs of resurgence.
Apart from the White Lotus Sect,
There were also some like Xu Xiu and Du Qiaoyun, who had been falsely accused, starting to join the fray.
Although their numbers were few, those who survived were strong; their raids on scattered soldiers also significantly affected the Anxi Army.
Fang Zheng still did not step outside, focusing on Martial Arts cultivation in seclusion, gradually increasing his cultivation base day by day, nearing the Realm of the Two Thunders.
As for outside matters...
Every night,
Hundred Households Commander Kong would drag him out for a drink, and through casual conversation, he would learn a bit about the situation.
The Ren Family,
seems to have some real trouble.
On this day,
"Bang!"
Hundred Households Commander Kong’s face was grim as he shattered the desk with a palm.
"What’s going on?"
Fang Zheng curiously asked:
"Even with Brother Kong’s men, something happened?"
Upon returning this time, Hundred Households Commander Kong was covered in blood, both his and others’, and he had several soldiers missing.
"Yes."
Hundred Households Commander Kong nodded with a cold face:
"Kong Mou is fine."
"Hundred Households Commander Zhou beside Lord Ming was trapped on a long street; over thirty people, not a single one survived. This incident has made the General furious."
Over thirty people, not a single survivor?
Fang Zheng’s eyes contracted:
"Who did it?"
One must know,
the Anxi Army soldiers within the city now are elite troops; under the lead of a Three Blood Armored Martial Artist, over thirty of them could encircle and kill a True Qi Martial Artist.
But now,
not a single survivor?
Even he admitted that even if he reached the Realm of the Three Thunders, he couldn’t accomplish such a feat.
"Who else could it be?" Hundred Households Commander Kong snorted coldly:
"Suddenly, six or seventy Fully Armored people appeared in the city, capable of annihilating the elite troops. Besides the Ren Family, who else could do it?"
"The Ren Family..."
"We really underestimated them!"
?
Sixty or seventy Full Armor!
Fang Zheng shook his head, clicking his tongue in disbelief.
These people, if placed in the ancient times when I arrived, could completely disrupt a region, even killing a County Magistrate would be effortless.
The Ren Family indeed lives up to its name; having so many sets of armor, and more importantly, having the guts to act, even daring to kill the Imperial Court’s soldiers.
It’s chaos outside!
It’s better to stay honestly hidden at home.
With these thoughts in mind, he continued to immerse himself in cultivation.
......
Night.
The starlight was dim.
Several figures appeared near the military camp.
"The weather is starting to warm up."
One person looked up at the night sky:
"In a few days, the reinforcements of the Anxi Army should arrive, and by then, seizing the opportunity... may no longer be possible."
The others remained silent.
"Now that things have come to this, there’s no other choice."
A member of the Ren Family stepped out from the shadows, saying:
"The day after tomorrow, the four Households Commanders in the army will all leave the camp; by then, the camp’s defenses will be the weakest, providing us half an hour to act."
"You..."
"Are you sure you can plunge the camp into chaos?"
The last sentence was directed at Incense Master Liu of the White Lotus Sect.
"Rest assured."
Incense Master Liu sneered:
"The Blood Sacrifice Technique was set up personally by Liu Mou; although it was seized by Song Kewang, a little manipulation is still possible."
"I can unleash the resentful Evil Qi from the altar, breaking the camp’s Evil Qi, making it difficult for them to form a Battle Array, and even weakening Song Kewang’s strength."
"However..."
"It will only last for the time of an incense stick burning!"
"The time of an incense stick?" someone whispered, calculating:
"That’s enough!"
"If we succeed, does the Ren Family have the assurance to settle this matter?"
"Of course."
Ren Hu’s voice sounded:
"To ensure control over the army, the Imperial Court theoretically does not allow officials above the Fifth Grade to reside permanently within one military unit."
"Song Kewang came to Fenwei no more than half a year ago, not everyone obeys him."
"His death,"
"would actually be beneficial to the Households Commanders below, but this matter must be attributed to you all, any problems?"
Upon hearing this,
The others turned their heads to look.
The Ren Family indeed has far-reaching means, having secretly persuaded the Households Commanders in the army; which one or how many is unknown, but the odds of success have greatly increased.
Of course.
The Ren Family would never openly oppose the Imperial Court.
Killing a Commander...
The Ren Family could not be directly involved.
"Hmph!" Incense Master Liu snorted coldly upon hearing this:
"The more lice, the less itching. Besides, killing a Deputy Commander would earn Liu Mou great merits in the Holy Sect, why not do it?"
"That settles it!"
"Everyone, prepare yourselves. On that day, with Martial Artists gathered, the Three Blood Martial Artists will charge the way, and within the time of an incense stick, reach Song Kewang."
"Good!"
"Then it’s settled."
......
Military Camp.
Song Kewang, in soft white robes, with long hair draping to his waist, stood with his hands behind his back in front of a strange altar, gazing at the Treasure Sword in its center.
For a long time.
"Someone, come!"
He called softly.
"Whoosh..."
Someone stepped in, kneeling on one knee:
"Your subordinate is here!"
"These two days..." Song Kewang looked up, his eyes flickering with cold light:
"The military camp is not very safe. Take my son away for now, and take care of him for a while. When things are settled, bring him back."
"?"
The newcomer was clearly puzzled by his words, looking up in surprise. After all, where in Gu’an County could be safer than the military camp?
Even the County Government Office,
could not compare!
But he still nodded honestly:
"I obey your orders!"
......
Fang Mansion.
Underground secret room.
"Crackle..."
Fang Zheng, bare-chested, with veins bulging at his neck, stood like a massive power storage device, frantically absorbing the rushing electricity.
For a long time.
"Hmph!"
He put down the wire, circulating the Cultivation Technique.
Within him, the True Qi emitted faint thunderous sounds, reverberating without rest.
Realm of the Two Thunders!
