Chapter 613: Chapter 613: The Despicable and Shameless Zhuo Family _1

Tu Qianjue’s words were very eloquent, but everyone present had their wits about them and Zhuo Qian was well aware that, if not for the deterrence of a ninth grade Martial King ancestor, Tu Qianjue would have directly snatched the treasure, with no regard for the code of honor among martial artists.

Whether for cultivators or martial artists, their actions depend on their preferences. The so-called code of honor among martial artists does not have much binding power. What differs is that some people have bottom lines, while others do not.

Take Su Chengyu as an example, even if the Zhuo Family did not plot against him or covet his treasures, knowing that the Zhuo Family possessed fragments of the Hongmeng Heavenly Book, he would also attempt to steal them, then compensate the Zhuo Family with some elixirs and martial arts secret manuals.

If he were always to be wary and completely restrained by the code of martial ethics, and hence refrains from competition and thieving, there would be no need for him to cultivate.

Cultivation is a defiance against the heavens and does not tolerate any hesitation or indecisiveness. There must be competition and thieving to go against the current. Every person who is able to reach the realm of the powerful in cultivation is not an easy target, and no one is a great benefactor.

The difference with Su Chengyu is that he has his own bottom line. Even when he seizes something, he will leave some benefits and never wantonly slaughter the innocent.

Of course, if the Zhuo Family had evil intentions and plotted against him, Su Chengyu would be even less courteous.

However, if it was someone like Tu Qianjue, and if the Zhuo Family did not have a powerful figure presiding over it, he would not only rob them but also kill them, and he would not leave any benefits for the Zhuo Family.

"Senior Tu is here as a guest to attend the appraisal meeting. The Zhuo Family welcomes you warmly. Please have a seat, Senior Tu." Zhuo Qian gestured with his hand.

Tu Qianjue stepped down from the stage and immediately asked, "Family Head Zhuo, I want to inquire about a person."

"Please speak, Senior Tu."

"This person is called Su Cheng. He killed a disciple of my sect. I was ordered to come to Suifeng to kill him this time. Family Head Zhuo, do you know where he is?" Tu Qianjue asked.

Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu, who was standing nearby, suddenly felt immense pressure. This guy was also here to kill him, presumably because of the incident where Wei Jingyi and Wu Shao were murdered.

The ninth grade Martial King of the Zhuo Family was already difficult to handle. Now with Tu Qianjue, another Martial King, Su Chengyu suddenly had the urge to quietly slip away.

Zhuo Qian was secretly surprised and frowned, but he remained calm and composed as he said, "I don’t know! He’s been making quite a name for himself in Suifeng recently, and he’s been up to two major things. There are quite a few people who would want to kill him. I heard that even the Dragon Soul Department has been alerted and is searching for him throughout the city. You can ask the Dragon Soul Department."

"I heard about those two events too. It seems there are quite a few people who want him dead. I could benefit from it."

Tu Qianjue didn’t leave the Zhuo Family, which made Su Chengyu dare not act rashly. He could only continue to blend into the crowd and wait for an opportunity.

Time was passing by every minute and every second, and it seemed that there was only one hour left before the appraisal meeting ended. People were leaving one after another. Nobody noticed Su Chengyu, who had changed his appearance.

At this moment, the Zhuo mansion’s housekeeper walked up to Zhuo Kun and whispered, "Second Master, the person has been brought back."

"Good! Very good, this is well done. Bring the person directly here." Zhuo Kun had a smile on his face.

Zhuo Qian asked, "Second brother, who was brought back?"

Zhuo Kun replied, "Big brother, I did not report to you before things were done. I had someone capture the illegitimate daughter of Shen Yongji."

"Why did you capture her?" Zhuo Qian queried.

"Big brother, there is something you don’t know. The reason why Su Cheng went to the Shen Family and killed Shen Yongji yesterday was not only because he had a grudge against the Black Dragon Commerce Association’s Mao Taixi, but also another major reason was to avenge Shen Yongji’s illegitimate daughter. He thus caused a scene in the Shen Family and killed Shen Yongji."

"The illegitimate daughter of Shen Yongji, Shen Junrou, is the benefactor who saved Su Cheng’s life. After finding out about this information, I sent people to search for Shen Junrou’s whereabouts, and I indeed found her. Shen Junrou left Suifeng and took a bus to Dongyuan City."

"Then I secretly sent people to rush to Dongyuan City overnight, located her, and brought her back. With this person in hand, Su Cheng will definitely show up."

Zhuo Qian also had a smile on his face upon hearing Zhuo Kun’s report. He patted Zhuo Kun on the shoulder and praised, "Second brother, you are indeed thorough in everything you do. With you around, big brother can rest assured."

"I have a strong feeling that Su Cheng might be lurking among these guests, but he has used a spell to change his appearance which is why we can’t find him! Now, with Shen Junrou as a pawn in our hands, we can force him to show up. Even if he’s not here, as long as news of Shen Junrou’s capture by us spreads, he will come to us on his own."

Zhuo Kun had a confident expression on his face. Soon, the housekeeper brought Shen Junrou, who was now tightly bound and hooded, to the appraisal meeting venue.

Within the crowd, Su Chengyu was the first one to notice that the housekeeper had captured a person. Using his divine sense, he discovered that the captured person was Shen Junrou.

Su Chengyu immediately frowned at this, his face greatly changed, and he silently cursed his bad luck.

Su Chengyu never expected that the Zhuo Family could capture Shen Junrou, who had already left Suifeng.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please quiet down. We have an important matter to announce in public, and you can all be witnesses."

Zhuo Kun’s loud voice echoed through the appraisal meeting venue in the south wing room, attracting the attention of the crowd.

"In the past few days, two major incidents have occurred in the martial arts circle of Suifeng, which you all already know about, so I won’t elaborate. This person named Su Cheng has been causing chaos in Suifeng, indiscriminately killing innocent people, and has even alarmed the Dragon Soul Department to investigate him. Likewise, we, the Zhuo Family, being a part of the martial arts community, also have our obligations and responsibilities. We must never allow this ruthless person to continue causing harm."

"It is our duty and responsibility to punish this person to console the souls of the dead."

Zhuo Kun spoke with impenetrable righteousness, immediately earning applause from the crowd.

"Su Cheng is exceedingly cunning. Senior Tu from Xuanmen came here to target him, and even the Dragon Soul Department couldn’t capture him. Fortunately, we grasped some clues and exerted a great deal of effort to capture another related person. We are now bringing her to all of you for public questioning."

After Zhuo Kun spoke, he removed Shen Junrou’s hood. Her disheveled hair was a mess, and she unconsciously closed her eyes. Seeing it was a woman who had been captured, the crowd expressed their confusion.

Su Chengyu squinted his eyes, and his eyes were swirling with killing intent. He inwardly cursed the Zhuo Family for their despicable and shameless actions. To get the secret manual, they truly made painstaking efforts, using all sorts of insidious tactics.

"She is Shen Junrou, Shen Yongji’s illegitimate daughter. However, as her identity was not recognized by the Shen Family, she harbored resentment and colluded with the criminal Su Cheng to cruelly murder her own biological father, almost destroying the entire Shen Family. Her heart is as venomous as that of a scorpion and her crime is unforgivable."

"Our Zhuo Family has been connected with the Shen Family for generations and we’re both part of the martial arts circle. Emotionally and logically, we need to avenge Brother Shen’s death. All of you present here today are witnesses!"

Zhuo Kun continued to speak with an air of morality and justice, painting the Zhuo Family as extremely honorable and just, yet in reality, they were despicably shameless!
