Chapter 48: The Situation Expands

The higher a person's cultivation, the sharper his five senses, and the violent explosion and the shaking of the earth from the quiet night sky woke up countless cultivators!

Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~

In the night, one figure after another jumped up to look for a high place to look in the direction where the loud noise was made. Within a moment, all the attics above the third floor were full of people, and they gathered together to discuss with each other which strong man had made a move.

Lu Fan and Jiang Xiaozhi looked at each other and smiled, and they didn't look abrupt in the crowd.

Although he was not worried about being exposed, or Lu Fan didn't think about hiding it at all, there were some rules that still had to be followed.

Just like the two assassinations of the Zhao family ended with an unknown corpse without clues, even if everyone knew that it was Lu Fan who blew up the Zhao family's workshop, it still needs to be covered up on the surface, at least no evidence can be left for people to identify on the spot!

The rules of the game set by the lord of the mansion must be followed, and whoever dares to pierce that layer of window paper cannot blame the law for being ruthless!

The Zhao family, a group of high-ranking people gathered in the antique family meeting hall.

"What the hell is going on?Who destroyed our Zhao family's workshop?!" an old man with gray hair yelled angrily as he slapped the table.

"Could it be that a Martial King-level powerhouse has made a move against our Zhao family?" another middle-aged man muttered.

"Martial King?"

"Impossible, how could our Zhao family offend such a strong person?"

"The Zhao family can't resist the wrath of a martial king-level powerhouse!"

"It's over, it's over, what should I do?"

The speculation of the person who shot it was like adding a drop of water to a boiling oil pot suddenly churned violently, and many people showed horror on their faces.

If you want to wipe out the workshop area the size of a football field with one blow, you can only do it with the lowest level of the Martial King.

With the strength of the Zhao family, they absolutely can't withstand the wrath of a martial king, and if such a powerful existence wants to wipe them out, it is as simple as pinching an ant to death!

"Whatever the chaos, shut up!" Zhao Hongtai, who had been sitting on the main seat and had been silent, looked at the chaos in the conference hall and scolded.

An angry shout silenced the panicked and frightened people, and their eyes looked straight at the middle-aged man on the main seat.

"What should we do, master?" someone asked in a whispered voice of horror.

Zhao Hongtai slowed down his tone and said firmly: "Don't panic, this incident has nothing to do with King Wu!"

"How is that possible?!"

"Yes, only when you reach the level of the Martial King can you destroy the workshop with one blow!"

"Who did that?"

“......”

Everyone present was puzzled and disbelieving.

"Huh?!" Zhao Hongtai's cold gaze swept towards everyone, as the head of the family, he couldn't allow these people below to question it!

Said coldly: "You can think about it, if it is a strong man of the Martial King, why bother to destroy the workshop, instead of directly wiping out the Zhao Mansion from Black Rock City?!"

Yes, the Zhao Mansion occupies a vast area and has many attics, and the high-ranking members of the family and the direct children live here. If you want to deal with the Zhao family, just destroy the people of the entire mansion and it will be over, why waste your strength to destroy a workshop.

The people below were stunned, it seemed that what the head of the family said was very reasonable!

It was only when everyone was quiet that Zhao Hongtai revealed the mystery: "The reason for the destruction was that someone detonated a large number of spirit stones in the workshop!"

"Detonating the Spirit Stone, the Spirit Explosion Array, it must be the Spirit Explosion Array!" a middle-aged man with a goatee who knew the formation method and immediately said.

"How many spirit stones do you need to cause such a violent explosion?!"

The goatee touched his beard and groaned for a moment before he said in a deep voice: "At least 500,000 spirit stones!"

"It's impossible, right? Who would waste 500,000 spirit stones just to destroy a workshop!" someone questioned.

Indeed, even if the Zhao family wanted to burn 500,000 spirit stones at a time, they would feel pain.

Just like listed companies, they are all worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but they are all stocks, fixed assets and others, and there are not many companies that can really take out a large amount of liquidity at any time.

Didn't you see that Zhao Hongtai, as the head of the family, needs a loan if he wants to bid for a ground-level martial art for his son.

The act of burning 500,000 spirit stones in order to destroy a workshop is simply what a thousand people are referring to, and people and gods are angry!

It's no wonder that many people can't believe it when they hear the news.

"Is the news accurate?" someone asked.

"It was Zhao Hongtong who came back to report, and he saw the detonation of the spirit stone with his own eyes!" Zhao Hongtong said in a deep voice.

Zhao Hongtong is the chief guard who guards the safety of the workshop, the Zhao family is a descendant, and has the strength of a great martial artist at the middle level, and he is the one who shouted 'disperse' in the attic before the explosion.

Although Zhao Hongtong escaped first after realizing that something was wrong, he was still seriously injured by the explosion, and if it weren't for the four-grade spiritual weapon armor and body protection given by the family, he would have been shocked to death on the spot!

In this way, after desperately escaping back to the family to report the news, he also spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes rolled and he fainted!

As for the other guards, they were not so lucky, they were all blown up on the spot. Fortunately, the workers were not allowed to stay overnight in the workshop, otherwise the compensation for thousands of workers alone would have been enough for the family to drink a pot!

Although everyone knew that it was not King Wu who made the move, their hearts were still heavy.

Can someone who can take out 500,000 spirit stones at a time be an ordinary person? Even if it is a disciple of a top big family or a big sect, it is very difficult to do it!

What if the person who did it repeats his old tricks and makes another attack on Zhao Mansion?

Thinking of this, everyone present felt a chill in their backs.

"Who the hell wants to destroy our workshop at the expense of 500,000 spirit stones?" someone wondered.

Zhao Hongtai pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "It was done by a person named Lu Fan! He killed Zhao Fu in Panlong Ridge and insulted my Zhao family! Yesterday Zhao Cheng took him to the Wei Mansion to seek justice and provoked him again, so he destroyed the Zhao family's workshop to take revenge! Provocation, this is a provocation to the Zhao family!"

Zhao Hongtai had already vaguely guessed from the report, and Zhao Cheng had disappeared and had not returned yet, so he immediately locked on the target.

It's just that when explaining to everyone, he avoided the important and trivialized, skipped the matter of sending someone to assassinate, and emphasized that in provoking and hitting the Zhao family in the face, anyway, except for the missing Zhao Cheng, no one knew that the assassination order had been given.

Zhao Hongtai guided things to the height of family dignity, rather than a personal grudge to avenge his son.

"What the head of the family said is right, this is a provocation by the Zhao family, and it must be severely punished, so that everyone knows that the Zhao family is not something that anyone can provoke!"

"Whew~" Zhao Hongtai breathed a sigh of relief, and finally turned things around.

......

In the huge captain's mansion, Fang Qinglong, who received the report, was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses, with a wry smile on his face.

He knew that Lu Fan would definitely not be able to swallow this breath and would launch a counterattack, and things were indeed as he expected, but ......

Who knows how spicy and violent that kid will be, and make a big noise!

Alas~, the development of events seems to be a little out of control!
