Chapter 192 Crazy
"Also, I want you to find the villain who killed Yu'er no matter what means you use."
"I swear I will not be a human being unless I torture him to death and tear him into pieces!"
The old woman gritted her teeth.
The tone was so cold that it made people feel cold in their hearts.
"Mother!" Upon hearing this, the head of the Zheng family hesitated. "Since that person dared to go against the Seven Killings Tower, his identity and background must be extraordinary. If we continue to investigate..."
However, before he could finish, the old woman looked at him coldly: "So Yu'er's revenge doesn't need to be avenged, right?"
The head of the Zheng family paused, swallowed his saliva, and then said: "...That's not what I meant. I just think that this matter should be considered in the long run."
"Take a long-term view? I think you want to drag this matter out, preferably until I die, right?" The old woman sneered.
"I don't dare!"
The head of the Zheng family was shocked and quickly lowered his head.
"Humph! Only you know what you are thinking. I just want to know if I, an old woman about to die, can still be the head of the Zheng family?"
"Mother is the pillar of the family. The entire Zheng family is supported by you, so you can naturally make the decision."
"Since I am still the master of the Zheng family, then you should just do as I say. I don't care how much it costs you, but you must find that person before Yu'er's seventh day.
I don’t care who he is or how powerful his background is!
They must personally pluck off his head and place it in front of Yu'er's grave to offer a sacrifice to Yu'er's spirit in heaven!"
Looking at his mother's sinister and ferocious face, the head of the Zheng family knew that it was useless to object any further.
I could only respond quietly: "Yes, I'll do it right away."
Looking at the dejected back of the head of the Zheng family, the old woman's face was extremely indifferent, and the murderous aura on her body was even more cold and condensed, spreading and boiling, and lingering for a long time.
There was total silence in the hall. No one dared to move, not even to breathe loudly.
Even the beautiful middle-aged woman was sweating profusely, with her back covered in sweat.
Outside the Zheng Mansion, in another huge mansion two miles away, in a study, an elegant old man was writing leisurely. Suddenly, his expression changed, his wrist trembled slightly, and the brush that was soaked with ink dropped a drop of ink on the paper.
"What is the old lady of the Zheng family going crazy about again?"
The elegant old man put down his pen, thought for a moment, and waved to the servant next to him: "Go and invite the master of the family over."
Soon, a middle-aged man in a long robe, whose features and temperament were somewhat similar to the old man, hurried into the courtyard.
"Grandfather, you called me?"
"Just now I felt that the old woman from the Zheng family suddenly exuded an astonishing murderous intent. I don't know what she is up to now. You go and check it out." said the elegant old man.
"The ancestor of the Zheng family?" The middle-aged man was shocked. "Who dares to provoke this person? Are you tired of living?"
"So I asked you to check it out. This old woman is about to die. She won't live for many years. If she goes crazy now, no one can stop her."
"Yes, I'll check it out right away."
The middle-aged man retreated in a hurry.
Ever since the old woman from the Zheng family was seriously injured a few years ago and was certain that she would not live for many years, she has become a difficult person to mess with in the provincial capital.
After all, if a person at the innate realm who only has a few years to live really goes crazy, who can withstand it?
After his grandson went out, the elegant old man looked up at the slightly white sky in the distance, his mood fluctuating.
Now is a time of turmoil, and undercurrents are surging in the world.
As a martial artist in the Xiantian realm, he had a vague intuition that something extremely important was about to happen.
At a time like this, the old lady from the Zheng family should not go crazy.
Half an hour later, the middle-aged man came back again with a very strange look on his face.
He seemed a little surprised, and a little gloating.
"Have you found out?" the elegant old man asked calmly.
"I found it, but..."
"Just what?"
"According to the information obtained by the spies in the mansion, the second son of the Zheng family was killed in a brothel outside the city last night. Even his head was blown off. The ancestor of the Zheng family was furious about this incident and even killed several of his guards."
The middle-aged man reported.
"The second son of the Zheng family, is he the posthumous son of the deceased patriarch of the Zheng family?" asked the elegant old man.
"It's him. His name is Zheng Yu. He is very favored by the Zheng family's ancestors. He is usually very domineering in the provincial capital. I didn't expect that he would run out of the city and be killed!" There was a hint of gloating on the middle-aged man's face.
"No wonder that old woman went crazy." The elegant old man nodded, "The eldest son of the Zheng family was extremely talented. He was only thirty years old, but he was already a martial arts master. He had a bright future and was expected to achieve the Xiantian realm before the age of forty, becoming the youngest Xiantian realm master in Cangzhou.
But I never thought that becoming famous at a young age and having a too smooth path in cultivation can sometimes be a disaster.
The eldest son of the Zheng family was the youngest martial arts master in Cangzhou at that time. He was full of vigor and arrogance, and even looked down on several innate masters in the provincial government.
Because of the presence of the old woman from the Zheng family and the constraints of the Holy Mountain's ban, none of us cared too much, which made him even more conceited.
More than 20 years ago, a stranger in the Xiantian realm came to Cangzhou for a trip with his female disciple.
The eldest son of the Zheng family went out of the city for a trip and saw the beautiful female disciple. He became lustful and wanted to take her home to be his concubine.
The natural result was that the Xiantian realm master became furious and beat the Zheng family boss to death on the spot.
When the old woman of the Zheng family heard the news, she went mad and immediately chased after the stranger. She chased him for more than 300 miles and finally killed the stranger in the innate realm with a strategy that resulted in both sides suffering losses.
He also captured the female disciple from the Xiantian realm and buried her with his son.
The old woman herself was also seriously injured and her life span was greatly reduced. She has not been able to fully recover until now."
"I didn't expect that such a big thing happened back then. The Zheng family boss actually died because of this."
The middle-aged man sighed.
"Back then, you were still young and traveling with your master. In addition, the eldest son of the Zheng family died in an inglorious way, and the old woman was very concerned about her reputation, so not many people knew the inside story." said the elegant old man.
"The Zheng Yu you are talking about should be the posthumous son of the eldest son of the Zheng family. After his death, the old lady of the Zheng family suddenly changed her temperament and became extremely violent. Servants were beaten to death every day in the Zheng Mansion. Everyone in the Zheng family was in danger.
Later, when the wife of the eldest son of the Zheng family found out that she was pregnant, the old woman was overjoyed and her hostility gradually subsided.
Later, the wife of the eldest son of the Zheng family encountered difficulties in childbirth. She died after giving birth to a son.
The eldest son of the Zheng family only left this drop of blood, so Old Lady Zheng was naturally heartbroken.
You said he was murdered, no wonder she had such a strong desire to kill him before."
The elegant old man felt a little relieved. As long as it wasn't someone from his house who had provoked the old woman, everything would be fine.
But he was also a little curious: "Can you find out who killed Zheng Yu?"
"Nothing has been found." The middle-aged man shook his head, "According to the spy report, the Zheng family only knows that the murderer of Zheng Yu is a black-clad warrior, and his other identities are still a mystery.
And it seems that the black-clothed warrior didn't intend to kill Zheng Yu. He killed Zheng Yu while looting the brothel."
"It seems like we have encountered a dragon crossing the river. The eldest brother of the Zheng family was killed by an outsider from the Xiantian realm. I didn't expect that his son would follow in his footsteps."
The elegant old man sighed a little. If it was a martial arts master from Cangzhou, no one would dare to risk angering the old woman and attack Zheng Yu.
Only an outsider warrior who is not clear about the situation in Cangzhou would dare to take such a big risk.
"But grandpa, I have found out another piece of news." The middle-aged man's expression turned serious.
"It is said that when the black-clothed warrior was slaughtering people in that brothel, he said that place was the base of the Seven Killings Building, and he came for the Seven Killings Building."
"Are you telling the truth?" The elegant old man was shocked.
"I'm not sure either, but this is what the guard who followed Zheng Yu said before he died. I'm afraid it's true."
"Has the Seven Killings Tower's tentacles already reached our Cangzhou? But haven't they always been entrenched in Zhongzhou? And who dares to provoke such an ancient sect?"
The elegant old man murmured.
I feel that things are far from being that simple.
However, the middle-aged man threw out another message at this time.
"Also, Grandfather, the spies also found out that the Zheng family's ancestor was furious about Zheng Yu's death. Not only did he kill all the guards who protected Zheng Yu at the time, he also wanted to capture their families and clansmen and sacrifice them alive to be buried with Zheng Yu."
"What did you say?!"
Upon hearing this, the elegant old man no longer cared about the matter of the Seven Killing Tower. He stood up suddenly and looked at his grandson in shock.
"Human sacrifice! Is that old woman really crazy?!"
At this moment, the elegant old man felt a surge of grief, accompanied by bursts of crying and shouting, coming from the northwest.
And that is where the Zheng family is.
He was startled and without bothering to talk to his grandson anymore, he immediately used his skills to disappear from the study and rushed towards the Zheng family.
When the elegant old man arrived at Zheng's house, he saw a large group of people who were chained and lying on the ground crying and begging for mercy.
Among them were old and young, male and female, and even babies in their cradles.
There was an old man next to him, his head and body separated, blood all over the ground. His severed head had wide-open eyes filled with anger and sorrow.
The elegant old man knew at a glance that the sadness he had just felt was expressed by the old man before his death.
He also knew the old man's identity.
He is a steward of the Zheng family. He has extraordinary cultivation in the inner realm and is quite famous in the provincial capital.
This old man has always been loyal to the Zheng family and has managed many of the Zheng family's businesses in an orderly manner.
It is said that his eldest son also worked as a guard in Zheng's mansion, but he never expected to die here.
"Grandfather, please spare me, please spare me!"
Bursts of cries came from the crowd.
Someone kept kowtowed to the old woman from the Zheng family on the steps, until his forehead was broken and the bluestone slabs on the ground were stained with blood.
But there were also people who were silent and staring at the old woman with hatred.
"Mercy?"
The old woman had an indifferent expression and was not moved at all by the scene before her.
"I spared you, but who will spare my Yu'er?
I asked the men in charge of your household to protect Yu'er, but they neglected their duties and ended up killing Yu'er.
Those bastards deserve to die, and you, as their wives, children and relatives, are also unforgivable. You must all be buried with my Yu'er!"
"No, ancestor, please don't do that. This is none of our business. Please spare me! Please spare me!"
The people who were chained below were extremely terrified when they heard this and kowtowed desperately to beg for mercy.
However, the old woman was completely unmoved by this scene.
He just waved his hand and said, "Take all these bastards away and lock them up. When Yu'er is buried, send them to the underground to serve Yu'er."
"yes!"
Immediately, guards came forward, pulled up the chains, and wanted to take everyone away.
"I won't leave, I won't leave, please spare my life, please spare my life!"
The crowd was in a panic. Some people did not want to leave, but were dragged away by the strong guards.
Those who tried to escape were whipped until their skin was torn.
All of a sudden, there were screams in front of the gate of Zheng Mansion, it was a horrific sight.
Finally, when everyone was dragged away, peace returned to the gate of Zheng's mansion.
The people living nearby heard the screams, but due to the power of the Zheng family, no one dared to come out to watch, let alone ask questions.
"Old man, now that you are here, don't hide, come out."
After everything calmed down, the old woman of the Zheng family suddenly spoke.
The elegant old man revealed his figure with a somewhat unpleasant look on his face.
The Zheng family guards around were all shocked.
Before the old man showed up, none of them could detect his movements.
He was able to hide his breath and figure so well right under their noses.
The answer is obvious.
This old man must be one of the innate realm beings in the provincial capital who should not be provoked.
"Mrs. Zheng, isn't what you did a bit too much?" the elegant old man said with a grim expression.
"Oh, I was just teaching my Zheng family's servant a lesson, what's wrong with that?"
The old woman of the Zheng family showed a trace of sarcasm on her face: "They all have contracts with my Zheng family. Even if I kill them all, it is my Zheng family's business. When will it be your turn to ask about it?"
"If you want to teach a servant a lesson, I naturally have no right to interfere, but if you want to perform a living sacrifice, then that has something to do with me."
The elegant old man said solemnly.
"Sacrificing a living person is too cruel. It is not tolerated by heaven and earth, nor by the Holy Mountain. If you want to do something that goes against the moral principles of heaven and earth, everyone has the responsibility to stop you!"
"Hahaha, heaven and earth cannot tolerate this, is this the normal law of heaven and earth?"
The old lady of the Zheng family laughed as if she heard a joke.
Then a look of resentment appeared on his face: "If the heaven and earth really have eyes, then why don't they protect my Yu'er? My Yu'er is so well-behaved, he just went out of the city to play for a while, and he suffered such misfortune!
Those useless people were slaves, but they failed to protect my Yu'er. Don't they deserve to die?
I just want all of them to be buried with my grandson!
I will fight anyone who dares to stop me!"
After saying this, a powerful aura emerged from the old woman.
She leaned down heavily with the dragon-headed cane in her hand, cracking the bluestone slabs beneath her feet.
His eyes were fixed on the elegant old man: "Old man Lin, are you sure you want to stop me?"
Feel the momentum that is ready to explode in the old woman and the madness in her eyes.
The elegant old man's face changed and he was suddenly caught in a dilemma.
