Chapter 71 - 71: Sect Relics
Being choked by Han Zheng, the woman's eyes revealed a trace of horror.
She finally realized why those Zhang Family brothers had perished so easily at the hands of the man before her.
Such strength was excessively terrifying. Was this power really attainable in the mid-stage of the Innate Transcendence Realm?
It was almost comparable to the perfection of the Innate Transcendence Realm, with the Water and Fire Immortal Clothes reaching great success!
Even the strength of his Qi Blood Power seemed more powerful than that of a martial artist who had reached perfection in the Innate Transcendence Realm.
The strength of perfection in the Innate Transcendence Realm was a comprehensive type of strength.
But the strength of the man before her was purely overpowering to an abnormal extent, almost like a humanoid demon!
Facing such strength truly induced despair.
No matter what tricks you had, the opponent would simply use sheer force to break all techniques, leaving you incapable of executing any.
"The young hero saved my life, for which I am eternally grateful. Whatever gratitude the young hero desires, I am willing to offer."
The woman gave Han Zheng a seductive glance, her cheeks flushed, her eyes like pools of spring water, presenting a posture ready for picking.
"And if I wanted you?"
Han Zheng looked at the woman with a seemingly amused gaze.
"Then I can only submit to the young hero and hope for his mercy."
The woman twisted her body under Han Zheng's grasp, her clothes slightly slipping to reveal her snowy white shoulders.
But the next moment, Han Zheng's expression suddenly darkened, and he directly lifted the woman by her neck and fiercely slammed her against the wall.
Accompanied by a dull thud, the woman immediately let out a pained scream as a black dagger fell from her sleeve.
"Still daring to play tricks!"
Han Zheng's grip tightened as he coldly said, "Who exactly are you? What treasure did you steal from those two?
You only have one chance, no more tricks. If you dare lie, you'll die!"
Feeling the immense force around her neck and the chilling killing intent emanating from Han Zheng, the woman's complexion finally changed.
Although the man before her looked quite young, he was absolutely incomparable to those fools from the Zhang Family.
Her seduction was utterly futile, and she realized that this young man would truly kill her!
"I'll talk! I'll tell everything! If I do, can you spare my life?"
"Rest assured, I do not kill women."
The force in Han Zheng's hand relaxed, and the woman immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She dared not gamble with her life on whether Han Zheng would discover her lies, so she could only honestly say, "I am Tan Qingzhu, a disciple of the Black Demon Hall of the Blood Demon Sect."
"So you're remnants of the Blood Demon Sect."
Tan Qingzhu's face revealed a flicker of anger, but she quickly suppressed it.
Han Zheng had used the term "remnants" because, in theory, the Blood Demon Sect no longer existed.
More than ten years ago, the Blood Demon Sect was one of the top demon sects in the Martial World, nearly on par with the current Smell Fragrance Sect.
The Blood Demon Sect's Cultivation Techniques were naturally centered around demonic techniques, and they had conducted profound re
The only surviving disciple of the True Martial Sect then joined the Grand Ancestor of Great Zhou in the campaign against demons, vowing to avenge his sect.
After Great Zhou was established, however, he chose not to enter the court to enjoy power and wealth, but instead returned to the ruins of his sect to guard it.
No one knew of this matter; the powerful individual only told a faithful servant to seal and bury the array prepared beforehand after he entered the ruins, letting himself and the sect rest deep within the earth.
The Zhang Family was descended from that loyal servant, guarding the remnants of that sect generation after generation in Bai River Prefecture.
However, human hearts are prone to change. Indeed, the original powerful being's servant was a loyal one, diligently guarding the ruins as instructed by his master, and so did several generations of his descendants.
But after the death of the founder of the Zhang Family, his descendants began to have other ideas.
To be guarding the relics of an Ancient Sect yet live in such a state - wasn't it like holding a golden bowl yet begging for food?
Therefore, as early as a thousand years ago, the Zhang Family wanted to excavate the ruins, but the array left by the ancient powerful individual was too strong for them to break.
It wasn't until recent years, when they discovered that the sealing array of the True Martial Sect's ruins was starting to fail, that the Zhang Family began to plot the excavation of the True Martial Sect ruins.
But the True Martial Sect's ruins were bound to be extremely dangerous, as the sect had been destroyed by demons, after a particularly fierce battle.
According to the records of the Zhang Family founder, all kinds of horrifying screams and howls would occasionally emanate from the ruins, whether they were mutated souls seeking justice or some other terrifying entities evolved from the ancient demons.
Only when the ruins were completely sealed did those sounds gradually disappear.
So, the Zhang Family released news of the ruins' emergence, attracting others to come and die exploring the way, while they themselves pretended to be attracted there, waiting to benefit as the third party.
The array of the True Martial Sect relics had an inner and outer layer. The outer layer was arranged by the ancient powerful being and had now failed.
The inner array, however, was the Sect Protection Array of the True Martial Sect. Although damaged, it had been operating for thousands of years.
The bronze fragment stolen by Tan Qingzhu was a piece that had fallen off the innermost Sect Protection Array of the True Martial Sect.
Only by holding this fragment could one enter the inner array, and the Zhang Family had only a few of these.
Therefore, the Zhang Family was not concerned at all about the others who were lured there trying to seize the treasure.
Without the Array Fragment, those entering would simply be sending themselves to their deaths as pathfinders for the Zhang Family, who would profit in the end.
After saying all this, Tan Qingzhu looked pitifully towards Han Zheng, "I have told you all this, could you please let me go now?"
Han Zheng smiled, but the force in his hands suddenly increased.
Tan Qingzhu let out a piercing scream.
"You lied to me! You said you wouldn't kill women!"
"I don't kill women, but I didn't say I wouldn't kill enemies.
Just now you deflected the disaster onto others; had I not had some strength left, I might have already been killed by those Zhang Family brothers."
Tan Qingzhu struggled frantically, "I carry the Blood Curse mark left by the Blood Demon Sect! If you kill me, my Blood Demon Sect will swear revenge until death!"
Han Zheng, however, did not hesitate an instant; his Qi Blood Power exploded in his hands, and with a 'crack,' he directly twisted Tan Qingzhu's neck.
