Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs

Less than two two-hour periods had passed.

Zhang Kui rode back on a tiger, with smoke and dust billowing, holding a blood-dripping head in his hand.

Upon seeing it, Miss Wang, Wang Weiling, let out a piercing scream, "Ah, you dog thief!"

Luo Jizu, who had remained silent, suddenly lifted his head, his eyes filled with murderous intent, "Shut up, all Wang Family members, surrender immediately, those who resist, die!"

The martial arts practitioners turned pale, feeling a chill down their spines, whispering among the crowd.

"Isn't that the Wang Family's old ancestor..."

"The National Guardian True Man, yet he was killed so easily..."

"Who would have thought, the Wang Family today might be..."

"Shh, shut up, be careful not to invite trouble yourself..."

The Wang Family members were filled with grief and anger, each drawing their weapons with a clanking sound, while the black-clothed Profound Guards faced off against them, on the verge of a conflict.

"Dog thief, meet your end!"

Suddenly, two elegantly dressed young men jumped out of the crowd, their eyes red, flinging talismans with a wave of their hands, and immediately, fireballs wrapped in black smoke shot straight towards Zhang Kui.

They were the outstanding disciples of the Wang Family seen at the family banquet that night, who had once respectfully called him their elder, but were now enemies.

Zhang Kui showed no expression, extending his right hand.

Qi Prohibition Skill!

The fireballs extinguished, and the two young men fell to the ground with a thud, unable to move as their body's Qi mechanism and orifices were sealed.

Zhang Kui looked emotionless as he glanced at the crowd.

"Wang Chaoxian colluded with demons, harming innocent lives, and his son Wang Jun practiced evil skills to harm others, with conclusive evidence, they've been executed by me."

"Listen, Wang Family, I, Zhang, will explain everything to you."

"Those colluding, kill!"

"Those unaware, release!"

"If you seek revenge, life and death depend on fate!"

......

The Wang Family, a prominent name in Jiangzhou and throughout the southern region of the Qian Dynasty, had fallen.

The news spread quickly.

"Hurry! Hurry!"

The sound of horse hooves rumbled echoingly.

Having received the news, Prefecture Official Chen Yuan hurriedly mustered the city-protecting troops and, still uneasy, assembled the nearby camp forces directly towards the Wang Family Castle.

He constantly complained in his heart.

It wasn't because Zhang Kui killed Wang Chaoxian, as the Wang Family in this place was like a supreme ruler, ignoring decrees and laws, causing trouble and retreating to their castle, leaving everyone helpless.

The Jiangzhou Prefecture Government Office had long harbored resentment.

What he worried about was the formidable strength of the Wang Family Castle, with clan disciples and guards more capable than the military, what if trouble arose?

Yet when the army reached the city, they were stunned.

Zhang Kui stood atop the city wall riding a tiger, and beneath him, a few Grain Avoidance Realm cultivators from the Wang Family looked pale, their eyes full of fear. A golden light hovered over the city, the oppressive evil Qi rendering the entire place silent.

Prefecture Official Chen Yuan felt his lips dry, quickly dismounted, bowed respectfully with his hands cupped together:

"True Man Zhang, I have brought the troops and horses, what should be done?"

A flicker of killing intent flashed in Zhang Kui's eyes.

"Follow me!"

The group arrived at the Wang Family's ancestral hall, observing it was three stories high, occupying vast land, extravagantly constructed, with hazy clouds, entirely solemn.

Zhang Kui casually flicked his hand, and the Lu Li Sword shone brightly.

With a rumble...

The tall ancestral tablets of the Wang Family shattered at once, spewing out countless heads, fragments, and decaying flesh, with an unbearable stench spreading.

Some couldn't endure it and began to vomit.

In the distance, the previously furious Wang Family disciples were now in shock, none had expected the ancestral hall they sincerely worshiped since childhood to be like this.

Zhang Kui squinted, holding a trace of killing intent.

This scene was obtained when Longevity devoured that divine statue, showing some incomplete images.

The Wang Family had cunningly used an array to disguise it, such that even he didn't find it during his investigation at the Wang Family.

Prefecture Official Chen Yuan turned pale, suppressing his nausea and yelling angrily, "Quick, interrogate all Wang Family members, don't let a single accomplice go free!"

......

The interrogation of the Wang Family began on that day, with the Astronomical Bureau and Jiangzhou Prefecture Government Office working together, interrogating for two days and nights.

The results were somewhat unexpected.

Only two people knew about this, secretly purchasing people from other places each year, yet knowing nothing about the old ancestor's intentions.

However, during the raid of the Wang Family, Luo Jizu found two books in Wang Chaoxian's secret room, and upon a glance, his scalp went numb, so he sent them to Zhang Kui.

The books recorded the real Wang Family.

Their rise didn't come from an ancestor learning from an alien, but from working like the Demon Taoist managing the Divine Temple of the General's Tomb. Later, after the Mid-Autumn's Divine Strange Pearl was lost, the temple fell, and the Wang Family transformed into a prominent local clan.

Simultaneously there was another book with insights into the Wang Family ancestor's practice of the Divine Path.

They realized the benefits of the Divine Path, yet lacking the Divine Strange Pearl, devised this sinister method as a substitute, cultivating a Wang Family guardian deity.

Zhang Kui studied these books carefully.

"Damn, can't understand!"

"Hmph, centuries-old family, millennia-old dynasty, ultimately it's a pile of yellow earth, I only need to protect the human race..."

At the same time.

Luo Jizu also compiled all evidence and the events, sending it swiftly to the Capital City with Shadow Crow's delivery...

......

Dong, dong, dong...

The melodious chimes echoed from the direction of the Imperial Palace.

At Grand Profound Lake Heart Island, inside the Seven Stars Pavilion.

Imperial Uncle Li Xuanji sat cross-legged with eyes closed, surrounded by misty purple smoke, lightning flickering around him.

He originally had a chance to inherit the throne, but upon learning certain things, was frightened out of his wits, firmly refusing to be Emperor.

Of course, understanding the reason, he admired his ancestor tremendously, dedicating himself to guarding Qian.

Thus, when several State Preceptors went into seclusion to stabilize the nation's fortune, he confidently handled all affairs.

Suddenly, Elder Huayan entered with a stack of confidential messages, his face ashen.

"Xuanji, take a look at this!"

After a quick glance, lightning flickered around Li Xuanji, almost triggering a premature Thunder Tribulation.

"This little troublemaker really knows how to stir up trouble..."

Elder Huayan was taken aback, "You knew about this?"

Li Xuanji fell silent for a moment, slightly shaking his head, "Didn't you notice that some National Guardians have stayed in the same place for generations? I asked the State Preceptor, and they told me not to speak of it..."

Elder Huayan initially bore anger, then sighed deeply as if thinking of something.

"Our human race... faces adversity..."

"Seeing it has come to this, how should we handle it?"

Li Xuanji also sighed deeply, feeling an immense headache.

"Yellow Eyebrow Thief Monk has convinced a few more to join them, and now Grand Profound Lake is an empty shell. With the State Preceptors in seclusion for a year and a locust catastrophe imminent, you and I must guard this place..."

"Perhaps, let Zhang Kui temporarily guard Jiangzhou..."

Elder Huayan looked worried.

"What if the General's Tomb..."

Li Xuanji slightly shook his head, "Though I haven't interacted much with Zhang Kui, I can see his character. Do you think he will hide?"

Elder Huayan sighed, looking outside the hall.

In the distance, the sunset over the Capital City gleamed like blood...

...

"Let me temporarily guard Jiangzhou?"

Zhang Kui looked at the letter in his hand and lightly shook his head.

Guarding Jiangzhou is of no concern; after so many days without a response from the General's Tomb, it probably doesn't care about losing a dog.

It's actually a good thing; he can conveniently manipulate the Nether Soil stone coffin and take a walk around the General's Tomb after dinner every day.

Walking every day,

Sooner or later, he'll get a clear view of it!

What he didn't expect was that Yellow Eyebrow Old Monk convinced so many people, planning a trip to the underworld.

Damn, aren't they afraid it's a one-way ticket...

Zhang Kui regretted having given the half-demon from Demon Star Pavilion to the Astronomical Bureau, as the immortal legend is something few can resist.

The letter from Elder Huayan also mentioned not to bother with other matters, and to focus on the locust catastrophe.

"Locust catastrophe..."

A flicker of light shone in Zhang Kui's eyes.

This attack on the Wang Chaoxian family resulted in two Celestial Tribulation Realm members and one Grain Avoidance Realm member, and even the divine statue provided skill points equivalent to a Celestial Tribulation Realm True Man.

Along with what's left from the Ji Temple Secret Realm, he accumulated over ninety points.

The Disaster Exorcism Skill had long reached its max level!
