"Okay, cruel enough."
Lu Li kept watching until Zhang Heng fainted from the pain, then showed a meaningful smile, and then said to Zhang Lin: "Lead the way."
Zhang Lin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Lu Li's situation was over for the time being.
He quickly changed his smile and guided Lu Li, leading the way.
After the two of them left, the solemn atmosphere in the courtyard relaxed slightly.
The leaders of the Zhang family looked at each other with strange expressions.
The man who just crushed Zhang Heng's chin looked at the blood in his hand and murmured, "I don't know if what we did was right or wrong."
As soon as these words came out, several people fell silent.
No matter how incompetent Zhang Heng is, he is still the head of the Zhang family.
The following committed the crime and took the initiative to depose the head of the Zhang family. This kind of thing has never happened in the history of the Zhang family. Because they were driven by fear before, few of them felt scared, nor did they feel anything was wrong.
But now once they calmed down, several people began to come back to their senses.
They... actually took action against the head of the Zhang family!
"Zhang Heng went against the grain and took the initiative to provoke Lu Li. This is making him an enemy of Prince Yan's Palace!"
Another person whispered: "Zhang Juan's matter has not been resolved yet, and now Zhang Heng is doing this to push our Zhang family into a pit of fire!"
As he said that, he raised his head and looked around everyone, and said word by word: "You all heard what he just said. This old ghost actually wanted Lu Li to massacre the entire Zhang family. This shows that he has never cared about the other members of the Zhang family. Man, compared to Zhang Juan..."
At this point, the man hesitated slightly, but still said: "Compared to that lunatic Zhang Juan, Zhang Heng is even more unreasonable. You treat him as the head of the family, and I don't dare to let him continue to be the head of the family!"
"My wife, children, and children are all in the Zhang family. If Lu Li really goes crazy and slaughters everyone in the Zhang family..."
"enough!"
Before he could finish speaking, the man who crushed Zhang Heng's chin interrupted and said, "We are all old men of the Zhang family. Who doesn't care? Now that this matter has been done, there is no room for change. We can't change these things." We all know it, and you don’t need to remind me!”
After that, he looked around at everyone again, and then looked at Zhang Heng who fainted from the pain. He hesitated for a while, and then a stern look flashed in his eyes: "The matter has come to this, why don't we just stop at nothing and kill this old ghost!"
"No!"
One person hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't act recklessly!"
"Why not? As long as he dies, there will be no evidence for many things. Even if Lu Li wants to blame, he can't blame the Zhang family!"
"Having said that, think about it, if you really want to kill Zhang Heng, this old ghost, couldn't Lu Li do it himself? You saw it before, Lu Li didn't even use his sword, and Zhang Heng was defeated. If you want to kill him, It’s just a matter of a thought. The fact that he spared Zhang Heng’s life shows that there is still a chance to negotiate a solution to this matter!”
This person analyzed why Lu Li didn't kill Zhang Heng, and a gleam flashed in his eyes: "Zhang Lin took the risk to try to convince Lu Li, and he definitely didn't want to do anything bad for you or me. For the current plan, we can only trust Zhang Lin and Zhang Heng." Know your destiny!"
When Zhang Zhiming's name was mentioned, the man who had the intention of killing someone and silencing him also calmed down.
He was just impulsive and not really a reckless person.
If you think about it carefully, you can figure out the key to this.
Lu Li left Zhang Heng here without even withdrawing the power of Void Town, maybe because he wanted to test the Zhang family's attitude.
If Zhang Heng is still alive, they will have someone who can take the blame. Once Zhang Heng dies, the crime of assassination will be laid on everyone in the Zhang family.
After thinking about this clearly, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, sighing secretly that he was still impulsive.
The people present are all the leaders of the Zhang family. Even if they don't have very high cultivation talents, they are all smart people. Although they were hot-blooded just now, they have calmed down now and have thought clearly.
"Now that you all understand, please remember that Zhang Heng can die, but he must not die in our hands."
The man who tried to persuade him said in a deep voice: "Lu Li seems to be approaching menacingly, but in fact he has left us a glimmer of hope. Whether we can seize this glimmer depends on the abilities of Zhang Lin and Zhang Zhiming. As for us... we only need to do it Just don’t hold them back.”
Hearing this, several people nodded slowly, and after talking for a few more words, they tied up Zhang Heng in a hurry.
After all, Lu Li was gone, and they didn't know how long the power of the formation would last. They still had to be more cautious when dealing with this bad-minded grandmaster.
…
On the other side, Lu Li followed Zhang Lin to the Zhang family's deep residence, a very remote compound.
This place is like a world of its own, completely separated from the Zhang family, and it feels like a peaceful corner.
Lu Li looked around and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that Zhang Juan really takes good care of his younger brother."
When Zhang Lin heard this, he hesitated for a while, and finally sighed: "The second young master is a pitiful man."
"Is it pitiful?"
Lu Li looked at the courtyard, which was obviously carefully decorated, and said calmly: "Maybe."
In the yard, a refreshing smell came out.
It smells like flowers, but also like medicine.
Lu Li opened his exploratory eyes and discovered that there were many precious exotic flowers and herbs planted in the courtyard, as well as various elixirs.
"It seems that your second young master of the Zhang family is also a wonderful person with a leisurely and elegant temperament." Lu Li smiled slightly, then looked at Zhang Lin and said, "Should you invite him to come out, or should I ask him to come out?"
Zhang Lin was still thinking about things in his mind. When he heard Lu Li's words, he immediately came back to his senses and said with a smile: "How dare you trouble Mr. Lu? I'll do it, I'll do it."
After that, he walked quickly towards the courtyard.
It has to be said that Zhang Juan is really good to his younger brother. The yard occupies a very large area, and it is obvious that a whole house has been built with a lot of thought.
This kind of expenditure would not be wasted on a waste in any other aristocratic family.
If his cultivation is completely useless and his martial arts is hopeless, he is a useless person to the family and has no value, so there is no need for any investment.
But Zhang Juan still defied all opinions and built this house for Zhang Zhiming in the Zhang family. Even though he might have some other plans, it still shows his intentions.
"Second Young Master, Mr. Lu from Prince Yan's Mansion is here."
At this time, Zhang Lin had walked to the door of the house, cupped his hands and whispered.
There was a squeak.
The door opens.
A young man in a moon-white robe held the door frame, looked at Zhang Lin and said, "Since the distinguished guest is here, why do you want to see me?"
"Second Young Master."
Zhang Lin smiled bitterly and said: "That old ghost Zhang Heng has gone completely crazy. Now the Zhang family needs someone to stand up and take charge of the situation. You are the most suitable person."
"I'm just a loser."
The handsome young man's voice was light, but he did not refuse. He looked past Zhang Lin and looked at Lu Li, who was standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his hands. He nodded and said, "We have guests coming to the door. It's better to lose etiquette. Please come in."
With that said, Zhang Zhiming, the famous cripple of the Zhang family, Zhang Juan's younger brother, and the second young master of the Zhang family, stepped aside, stretched out his hand to invite Lu Li in, and asked Lu Li to come in for a chat.
Lu Li clasped his fingers with a smile on his face, but he was sensing Zhang Zhiming's aura with his spiritual mind.
A child from an aristocratic family who looks like a sick man, especially one who was once a genius, may not be pretending that martial arts has been abolished.
So Lu Li used a little trick, clasping hands to form a formation. While sensing with his mind, he also wanted to see how Zhang Zhiming would respond.
Because there are many complicated formations in this courtyard. Judging from my observations along the way, the formations in the courtyard and the main formation of the Zhang family are not made by the same person. The formations set up here are obviously more complicated. Exquisite, the person who takes action must be a powerful formation master.
Although the formation seems to be a trail, although the trail is difficult to walk, it can go straight to the top of the mountain and witness the scenery on the top of the mountain.
Just like the power of Void Suppression, although it uses formations to induce the external forces of heaven and earth, if we talk about it in detail, what is the difference between it and the master using the power of true energy to leverage the spiritual energy of heaven and earth
Therefore, no one can guarantee whether this Zhang Zhiming is a top formation master.
And when he saw him, Lu Li felt very uncomfortable.
Although it's hard to tell, you can still tell the feeling of meeting someone of the same kind.
"Manager Lu, there is no need to test."
At this moment, Zhang Zhiming, who was standing in front of the door, suddenly said: "Although I am familiar with formations, the formations in this courtyard were made by my master. As for myself..."
He paused and smiled: "He is indeed a useless person."
