31: Chapter 31 Zhenwu Division

After returning to the Gang stronghold, Chen Hu still felt a bit restless. Because he had foreseen that in the coming period, his cultivation would soar rapidly.

He poured himself a cup of tea. Only then did his excited and feverish heart gradually calm down.

At this moment, Er Niu came again.

"How is it, which personal Disciple of the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall died today?" Chen Hu asked first.

Er Niu was stunned for a moment, then grinned: "Boss, you guessed wrong. This time, it wasn't a personal Disciple who died, but five Outer Sect Disciples!"

"Tell me in detail!" Chen Hu became interested again.

Er Hu said: "Yesterday, Master Sun Changming had all personal Disciples and their families move into the martial arts hall. The killer probably couldn't find an opportunity to strike, so he targeted the Outer Sect Disciples. Last night, five Outer Sect Disciples went to a restaurant to eat. They went missing on the way back. This morning, someone found their corpses in a sewer on Yulin Street."

"How did the Hall Master react?" Chen Hu asked.

"He must be furious. I heard he has already gone to the Zhenwu Division office, likely to ask those big shots from the Zhenwu Division to take action!" Er Hu replied, though his voice trembled slightly when mentioning the three words 'Zhenwu Division', and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

What kind of existence was the Zhenwu Division? Simply put, it was a department for suppressing Martial Artists across the world. An absolute violent institution. It made Martial Artists pale at the mere mention of it.

Back when the Great Yong Kingdom was first established, many School Martial Artists refused to submit to royal authority, wantonly oppressing and killing commoners. To deal with this situation, the Zhenwu Division was born.

At the beginning of the Zhenwu Division's establishment, Sects and Martial Artists across the world didn't take it seriously at all. But in just one month, the Zhenwu Division destroyed the mountain gate of the Evil Moon Sect, one of the top ten Evil Path Sects in the world.

As for the high-level members of the Evil Moon Sect, they were all executed on the spot. The remaining thousands of Evil Moon Sect Disciples were almost all captured alive and then beheaded at the vegetable market. The slaughter flowed like a river of blood, intimidating Martial Artists across the world.

The destruction of the Evil Moon Sect made the major Sects and Martial Artists realize that the Imperial Court was serious. For a time, the major Sects and wandering Martial Artists became much more well-behaved.

In the following three years, the Zhenwu Division successively destroyed five Evil Path Sects. Although the Zhenwu Division did not target Righteous Path Sects, it still made the major Righteous Path Schools feel deeply wary.

Moreover, the Zhenwu Division would not act easily, but once they did, they left no one alive. The Evil Path Sects they destroyed left almost no survivors.

Some realized that if the Zhenwu Division continued like this, once they destroyed all the Evil Path Sects, would they then turn against the Righteous Path Sects? Thus, they began to trip up the Zhenwu Division, and some bold individuals even designed traps, framed them, or assassinated members of the Zhenwu Division.

At first, the Zhenwu Division chose silence. But a few months later, the Zhenwu Division found evidence and immediately mobilized their entire force. They wiped out the Righteous Path Sect that had framed and assassinated members of the Zhenwu Division.

The bold actions of the Zhenwu Division directly caused an uproar among the Sects of the world. The anti-sentiment grew even higher. Therefore, the major Sects of the world began to contact each other privately, targeting the Zhenwu Division everywhere. But strangely, the Zhenwu Division went silent after that.

In fact, what the major Sects of the world didn't know was that after destroying multiple Sects, the Zhenwu Division had seized a large amount of cultivation resources, Cultivation Techniques, and Martial Skills. Their silence was merely to silently strengthen their power.

Eight years later, the Zhenwu Division was no longer silent. They acted frequently, and in just three short months, they completely destroyed all Evil Path and Demonic Path Sects within the Great Yong Kingdom. Since then, the world was shaken. The major Righteous Path Sects trembled in fear.

However, they would not give up just like that and sent experts to frequently assassinate the Division Chief of the Zhenwu Division. But this Division Chief's cultivation was terrifyingly high. He not only rounded up all the assassins but also used these people to lock onto the Sects behind them.

Shortly after, the Zhenwu Division's army mobilized in full force again and plowed through all the Sects in the world. Since then, the Sects of the world declined. Subsequently, the Zhenwu Division began to clean up all kinds of wicked Martial Artists in the world. The slaughter was immense, with heads rolling everywhere. Then, all the Martial Artists in the world kept their heads down and dared not cause trouble easily. The influence of the Zhenwu Division also reached its Peak.

Unfortunately, after completely suppressing the Martial Artists of the world, the Emperor transferred the Division Chief of the Zhenwu Division and conferred upon him the title of Marquis of Zhenwu. The Sects and Martial Artists of the world breathed a sigh of relief. In their hearts, they were secretly grateful to the Emperor.

So many years passed, and the Zhenwu Division had never carried out large-scale actions again. But the existence of the Zhenwu Division was like a sword hanging over the heads of all Martial Artists, making all Martial Artists think about whether they could escape the pursuit of the Zhenwu Division before committing evil acts.

However, with the decline of the Great Yong Kingdom, the deterrent power of the Zhenwu Division was gradually fading. But it could not be denied that the fierce reputation of the Zhenwu Division still made many Martial Artists feel wary.

"Alright, I understand!" Chen Hu nodded, then asked Er Niu to call Da Niu and Song He in.

Before long, Da Niu and Song He arrived.

"The Zhenwu Division might intervene in the affairs of the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall. You two, instruct the brothers under you to keep their eyes peeled, act low-key, low-key, and even more low-key, so as to avoid provoking people from the Zhenwu Division, implicating your families, or implicating the Gang!"

Upon hearing this, Da Niu and Song He were both startled and immediately agreed. The Zhenwu Division office gave no one Face. Not to mention that the Fierce Tiger Gang only had the backing of a noble family, even the noble family behind the Fierce Tiger Gang would not dare to provoke the Zhenwu Division.

Come to think of it, the rise of noble families was largely thanks to the Zhenwu Division. Back then, the Zhenwu Division plowed through all the Sects of the world, causing the major Sects to shrink back. Only then did local forces develop and grow, becoming noble families.

After dismissing the two, Chen Hu took out the enlightenment card. "System, use the enlightenment card, targeting the Martial Skill Five Elements Blade!"

Suddenly, Chen Hu's vision went black. Then he found himself transformed into a little boy, practicing the Five Elements Blade under the guidance of his Master. One year. Two years. Three years. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years passed. Chen Hu finally Cultivated the Five Elements Blade to Perfection.

He then exited that scene, and countless memories of practicing the blade merged with his current memories.

"Damn!" Chen Hu exclaimed, not expecting the effect of the enlightenment card to be so Heaven-Defying; a single enlightenment allowed him to Cultivate the Five Elements Blade to Perfection. Relying on the Five Elements Blade technique at Perfection, he was even confident in cutting down a Mid-stage Tendon Refining expert with his blade.

Subsequently, he took out the weapon card. "Activate!" "Congratulations to the host for obtaining a top-tier mortal weapon long blade!"

The next moment, a long blade appeared directly in his hand. He flicked his finger against the blade body, and it immediately hummed. "Good blade!" Chen Hu praised, and after playing with it for a while, he put it into his Storage Ring.

Mortal weapons are divided into ordinary, High Grade, and top-tier. He had previously used ordinary long blades, which cost a few taels of silver each. And High Grade long blades were worth at least dozens of taels of silver. Top-tier long blades were worth hundreds of taels. He couldn't easily take out divine weapons to use. But a top-tier mortal weapon was no problem; after all, he had made significant contributions a while ago, so he could afford a top-tier mortal weapon.

Half an hour later, Hall Master Ma Zhiyuan sent someone to warn Chen Hu, saying that the Zhenwu Division had already opened a case regarding the assassination of the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall Disciples, and told him to restrain his subordinates, not to try to be a hero, and definitely not to cause trouble, otherwise, they would be dealt with according to Gang rules.
