Supreme Martial Arts: Unlock Boundless Power!

Chapter 45

The birthday banquet finally came to an end. As Zhou Quanxin and his brother left the Cheng residence, their faces turned serious, despite the smiles they had worn during the banquet.

Anyone could tell that the Lin family's special visit, bearing such a grand gift for Mr. Cheng's birthday, carried an air of arrogance. From now on, anyone who wished to oppose the Cheng family would have to consider the existence of the influential Lin family.

The Lin family was a formidable clan. Perhaps they would not interfere in trivial matters in the county, but if the Cheng family faced a life-or-death crisis, the Lins would definitely not stand idly by.

The sudden addition of such a powerful ally to the Cheng family left Zhou Quanxin and his brother with heavy hearts.

Silent throughout the journey, they returned home, where Zhou Quanxin instructed everyone to rest. As for the matters concerning the Cheng family, they would have to report to their grandfather and let him handle it.

Even though they were in the county town, the younger generation lived separately in their own residences.

Once Zhou Yi entered his room, he immediately extinguished the light and lay down on the bed. After a moment, all sounds from outside disappeared. Only then did he quietly open the door and leave.

His movements were extremely subtle, and he deliberately avoided the areas where the elders lived, so no one noticed him.

Sneaking over the wall effortlessly, he arrived at the firewood shed where the corpse was hidden.

As expected, at this time, no one came here. Zhou Yi dared not linger, so he lifted the body and quickly ran out of the city.

His lightness technique might not be extraordinary, but with powerful internal martial arts supporting him, long-distance travel posed no problem.

Soon, he arrived in a forested area and dug a hole to bury the corpse. After the final pile of soil was firmly in place, he paused for a moment and respectfully paid his respects three times in front of the unmarked grave.

After completing everything, he finally felt a sense of relief and hurriedly made his way back home. Although he had to climb over the city wall for the second time, for Zhou Yi, the low walls in the county town posed no trouble at all. It may not have been as effortless as walking on flat ground, but it was still relatively easy. The only thing that made him a little wary was the occasional passing soldiers on the city wall. However, these soldiers were yawning with half-closed eyes, making Zhou Yi highly suspect that even if he walked right past them, these gentlemen would probably pay him no mind.

However, when he returned home, the sky was already getting bright. As soon as he closed his room door and lay down, he heard the voices of his uncles in the courtyard. Zhou Yi immediately sprang up quickly had his breakfast, and his uncles, Yitian and Yihai, immediately returned to Zhou Family Village.

Since Zhou Yi and his siblings rarely had the chance to come to the city and reunite with their parents, Zhou Quanxin allowed them to stay a few extra days.

It was a rare occasion for the whole family to be together, and Zhou Yi let go of everything, opening his heart to fully enjoy the joy of family. It wasn't until evening that everyone dispersed after a fulfilling time.

Once he returned to his room, Zhou Yi finally took out the things he obtained from the black-clad person. Compared to before, he was much more composed now. It was precisely because of this that he managed to forcefully suppress his curiosity until this moment when he began to examine his findings from yesterday.

Naturally, the black-clad person wouldn't lack silver and gold. There were four gold ingots, each weighing ten taels, and a considerable amount of scattered silver coins. However, these unexpected treasures were not what he focused on.
