Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

81: Xiao Er died, Zhao Ming’s last plan!Chen Changsheng looked at Zhao Zhiyi’s corpse and sighed. He was also a paranoid seeker of immortality; let’s give him a place to be buried.

”Steamed Bun, take Zhao Zhiyi’s corpse to the back mountain and bury it!”

Chen Changsheng said indifferently. Steamed Bun nodded and buried Zhao Zhiyi’s corpse on the back mountain.

Chen Changsheng waited quietly for news from his sons. Once they failed to get the whereabouts of the Cultivation Technique from Zhao Ming, the Zhao family could be declared wiped out.

At this moment, Chuanwu and Chuanwen were riding fast horses, tracking Zhao Ming who had fled down the mountain.

”Big Brother, no need to rush. I’ll just handle the tracking!”

Chuanwen rode behind Chuanwu, saying with a chuckle.

”Second Brother, haven’t you always advocated for cutting weeds and eliminating the roots? If we don’t rush and that brat escapes Longkou County, where will we find him then?”

Chuanwu looked at his second brother with a puzzled expression. In his impression, his brother had always advocated for leaving no future troubles. Could it be that after two years of not seeing him, his brother had suddenly changed his nature?

”Brother, you don’t know. Our conflict with the Zhao family is mainly for the Immortal Cultivation Manual. Now that the Zhao family has failed and only Zhao Ming is left to escape, don’t you think he might be carrying his family’s Immortal Cultivation Manual?”

Chuanwen was not in a rush, so he simply told Chen Chuanwu the whole story of the conflict between the Chen family and the Zhao family over the past two years since Chuanwu joined the army.

”You mean we should cast a long line to catch a big fish, and wait until that brat retrieves the Immortal Cultivation Manual before we make our move?”

Chuanwu’s eyes lit up. His second brother was indeed still the same sinister and cunning second brother. He wasn’t planning to let Zhao Ming go; he was trying to lure out the Immortal Cultivation Manual behind him.

”Exactly. We just need to follow behind Zhao Ming and not lose him!”

Chuanwen said with a smile. With Chuanwu’s Peak Blood Refining ability, Zhao Ming had no way to contend with him. As long as they didn’t lose track of Zhao Ming, he was just fish on the chopping block.

”Good, I’ll listen to you. Let’s slow down!”

Chuanwu laughed, deliberately slowed his horse, and followed Zhao Ming’s trail toward Longkou County.

Meanwhile, with the Chen brothers deliberately going easy on him, Zhao Ming escaped into Longkou County without any danger and headed straight for the Zhao residence.

Once he entered the Zhao residence, Zhao Ming didn’t care about responding to the servants’ greetings and rushed straight to Zhao Zhiyi’s study. Before he fled for his life, he had to take that Cultivation Technique. Even if he destroyed it, he couldn’t let the Chen family get it for nothing!

Zhao Ming knew his father had a secret room in the study. He walked to the vase in the study; that vase was actually a switch. Zhao Ming turned it three times to the left, and the bookshelf in the study automatically moved aside, revealing a narrow secret passage.

”This is it!”

Zhao Ming quietly walked into the secret passage. After walking through the cramped passage and reaching the underground, the space finally became spacious.

This was a stone room, containing a meditation cushion, a tray of candles, and of course, most importantly, the two books placed on the stone table.

Zhao Ming’s eyes lit up when he saw the two books. He walked over quickly, picked up the books, and flipped through them.

”They’re really here! This is the Immortal Cultivation Manual!”

Zhao Ming stuffed the books into his bosom. After getting the Cultivation Technique, he didn’t want to stay any longer. Next, he was going to begin his journey of fleeing for his life!

Zhao Ming walked out of the secret passage, restored the bookshelf to its original state, and then turned to leave.

But just as he reached the door, he suddenly paused. He suddenly thought that he was going to be hunted by the Chen family. If he carried the Immortal Cultivation Manual with him, wouldn’t he be aiding the enemy if he was caught?

It seemed he needed to think of a safer way!

Zhao Ming looked at the bookshelf and his eyes suddenly lit up. He took two miscellaneous books from the shelf and swapped their covers with the Immortal Cultivation Manual.

”I’ll hide the Cultivation Technique here first, and when I escape, I’ll sneak back into the study to retrieve them!”

Zhao Ming hid the fake Immortal Cultivation Manual in his bosom. After everything was ready, he was about to leave, but he suddenly saw a figure outside the room.

He quietly walked to the door and suddenly pulled it open. He saw a young servant standing at the door holding tea. This person was Xiao Er, who had sneaked into the Zhao residence.

”Why are you here?”

Zhao Ming looked coldly at the youth. Xiao Er quickly lowered his head and said:

”Seeing that the Second Young Master had returned, I came to bring the Second Young Master some hot tea!”

”You go back; I don’t want tea!”

Zhao Ming narrowed his eyes at Xiao Er and turned to go back into the study. Seeing this, Xiao Er had no choice but to turn and leave with the tea.

Just as Xiao Er turned around, a sharp sword pierced through his chest. Blood bubbled from the corner of Xiao Er’s mouth as he struggled to look back. Behind him was Zhao Ming’s sinister and ruthless face.

”Better to kill the wrong person than to let one go. I won’t make the same mistake a second time. Regardless of whether you saw what I was doing in the study, you came here at this time, so you can only blame your bad luck!”

Zhao Ming said coldly, then violently pulled out the sharp sword, wiped it on Xiao Er’s twitching body, and then turned and left without looking back.

He returned to the backyard, led out a horse, took one last deep look at the Zhao residence, and then charged out without looking back.

But just as he rushed out of the alley, Zhao Ming hurriedly reined in his horse. He saw a figure appear at the alley entrance—it was his greatest opponent, Chen Chuanwen.

Seeing this, Zhao Ming hurriedly turned his horse’s head and fled backward. But at the alley entrance behind him, there was also a burly figure holding an iron spear, waiting for him!

”Haha, Chen brothers, you really did chase after me!”

Zhao Ming laughed loudly, then drew his long sword and pointed it at Chuanwen.

”Zhao Ming, you are a smart man; you know what I want to say. Hand over the Immortal Cultivation Manual, and I will give you a way to live!”

Chuanwen said coldly. A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Ming’s mouth:

”If you want my Zhao family’s Cultivation Technique, keep dreaming. You will never get it in this lifetime!”

Chuanwen narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhao Ming, who had a determined look of death on his face, and said to Chuanwu:

”Big Brother, kill him. I think the Cultivation Technique must be on him; he wouldn’t have been able to bear leaving it behind before fleeing!”

Chuanwu nodded upon hearing this and charged straight at Zhao Ming with his iron spear. Zhao Ming was not afraid and attacked Chuanwu with a desperate, self-sacrificial tactic of trading wounds for wounds!

Unfortunately, their martial arts skills were too far apart. One was at the Peak Blood Refining, while the other was only at the Flesh Refining Realm. Chuanwu knocked the long sword out of Zhao Ming’s hand with one strike of his spear, and with another strike, he pierced straight through Zhao Ming’s chest, lifting him up on the iron spear.

”You... Chen family... will never... get it!”

Zhao Ming said as he gasped for breath. Then Chuanwen stepped forward to search the corpse, and soon a look of joy appeared on his face.

”Brother, look, are these the two books?”

Chuanwen took out the books from Zhao Ming’s bosom. Seeing that it was written ”Qi Refining Mind-Cultivation Technique”, he quickly showed it to Chuanwu.

”Open it and take a look!”

Chuanwu had always been bold and careful, so he directly opened the book. Unexpectedly, inside were miscellaneous books that had nothing to do with Immortal Cultivation!

”We actually got played by this guy Zhao Ming! Brother, what do we do now?”

Chuanwen said with a gloomy face, gnashing his teeth. Chuanwu frowned, looked at the Zhao residence, and said:

”We only have the clumsy way left: search every place, ask everyone. Even if everyone in the Zhao residence dies, we must find out the truth!”
