Chapter 225: The Aftermath
There was a lot of noise all night, and the whole city of Gongliang was bustling with activity, but the real big shots remained motionless.

Except for the martial artist Bao Tiefeng who was involved, other martial arts schools remained on the sidelines, watching how the situation developed.

Some of the local martial arts schools were gloating over Bao Tiefeng's misfortune, hoping that he would fail so that they could reap the benefits.

After daybreak, news came that the poisoned goose Lu Zhigang had escaped unscathed, not even a hair was caught.

Bao Tiefeng's hand was tragically cut off, and the martial arts school's disciples and apprentices suffered heavy casualties, which was a serious blow to the school's vitality.

Originally, it could compete with Jianxiong Martial Arts School, but after this battle, its status dropped and it can barely maintain the level of a second-rate martial arts school.

Wang Lao Hu was sitting at home with the door closed. He was overjoyed when he heard the news.

"That old fellow Bao Tiefeng deserves what he has today, haha!"

Jianxiong Martial Arts School...

What happened last night was passed on by word of mouth in the form of countless fragmented information and gathered among the martial arts school members.

Everyone was talking about it. This was the most sensational event that had happened in recent times.

The apprentices were so excited that they had no intention of practicing boxing anymore.

Seeing this, Shi Gaofei simply gave them half a day off and let them move freely.

Two big things happened last night.

In the first half of the night, Du Yan assassinated Bao Tiefeng, cutting off one of his hands, and then killed and injured countless disciples before escaping unscathed.

In the second half of the night, Zhou You showed his supernatural power and killed three transformed ghosts, which attracted four ghost-catching captains from the city gate guards to the scene.

The first thing is a bit far away, but the second thing is related to them.

Yesterday during the day, Zhou You left the martial arts hall and became an abandoned disciple, and at night such a big thing happened.

As the situation becomes turbulent, the existence of the enchantment is no longer a secret among the lower-level apprentices.

What level are virtual charms and transformed charms?
After some inquiries, I found out that even for the weakest virtual spirit, killing a Jinli apprentice is no different from pinching an ant.

As for the transformed demon, it is a terrifying existence that even the senior brother Lu Qiang can barely defeat.

However, even such terrifying monsters were killed by Zhou You at once.

No wonder even the top leaders of the city gate guards were mobilized en masse.

What happened in the second half of the night instantly overshadowed the assassination by Du Yan and became the most sensational news in Gongliang City that day.

Inside the martial arts hall, Lu Qiang told his mentor Wang Lao Hu in detail what happened last night.

"Zhou You went to Xingren Hall in the afternoon. He said he was seriously injured after playing four games in a row and stayed at Yaotang that night."

Wang Jianxiong shook his head after hearing this. "This guy is absolutely innocent. He is just pretending to avoid the limelight."

"That afternoon, someone tried to assassinate his parents, but was killed by the backlash of the amulet."

Lu Qiang paused, "Master's guess is correct. The person who attacked deliberately used the Subduing Tiger Fist to frame the martial arts school."

Wang Lao Hu's eyebrows jumped. "Amulet? Martial master? So that's it. He has found a new backer."

An amulet reveals a lot of information. At least Zhou You is not a floating duckweed without any support. He has someone backing him up.

With a martial arts master as your backer, many overt and covert tactics are useless.

Including his former master, anyone who wanted to take action against Zhou You would have to think carefully before doing so.

"According to inquiries, Zhou You stayed overnight at Xingren Hall. He heard about Lu Zhigang's appearance in the middle of the night. Perhaps he also wanted to get a piece of the pie, so he took action."

"He 'ran into' the Huasheng Mei harming people and killed it. The city gate guards arrived at the scene afterwards."

"The two sides talked until dawn, and we have no idea what they talked about."

After explaining the whole story, Lu Qiang stood respectfully with his hands behind his back, fearing to disturb his master's thinking.

Zhou You is currently an abandoned disciple of the martial arts school. Due to his reputation as Wang Lao Hu, he can no longer make it in the martial arts circle.

The martial arts industry has its own rules. Although the martial arts schools compete openly and secretly, they are all friendly on the surface and rarely accept abandoned disciples from other schools. However, when the city gate guards come forward, it is different.
The city gate guards have nothing to do with the martial arts school, as there is an independent training system for warriors inside.

They select talents very simply, as long as they are loyal and capable, they don't care about any twists and turns.

Captain Ye adopted Zhang Shiyu as his adopted son, and regardless of his Dazhuang boxing background, he even went to challenge Wang Jianxiong and offended him.

Now, Zhou You has killed three transformed ghosts with his own hands. Not to mention the middle stage of Qi and blood, even some of the late stage of Qi and blood cannot do it.

The demon is unscrupulous and is a monster of pure destruction, killing and gluttony.

The more people it eats, the higher its intelligence and the stronger its strength. In the end, the quantitative change will lead to a qualitative change, and it will be elevated to an even more terrifying level.

Killing a virtual demon not only requires strength, but also talent.

Otherwise, why would a lurking demon attract four captains at the martial arts master level to come out?

"As I expected, Zhou You will sooner or later become one of the city gate guards."

Wang Jianxiong raised his hand. "He really managed to find a way out. His status as a city gate guard is enough to protect him."

Then he frowned and asked in confusion, "Zhang Shiyu is also guarding the city gate. This is going to be exciting."

"Master, I heard that Captain Ye has asked someone to transfer Zhang Shiyu's relationship to someone else."

Wang Jianxiong was choked by the smoke and coughed repeatedly, his face turned red.

"What? A ghost-catching lieutenant actually gave in. Is he afraid that he can't protect his godson?"

Captain Ye was at the scene last night and saw Zhou You’s battle record with his own eyes, so he understood how terrifying he was.

Perhaps he was also stimulated, and out of love for his adopted son, he made arrangements to keep him away from Zhou You's presence.

Wang Jianxiong suddenly realized that Zhou You's momentum was already established and he had become a well-known and important figure in Gongliang City.

He began to pay attention to Zhou You's next move.

"Go on, what is Zhou You doing now?"

"Go home."

Zhou You returned home after dawn and felt guilty when he saw his parents, who had not slept all night and left the door open for him.

"Ahhhh!"

Tie Niu pulled him to the side and reviewed what happened during the day.

The two broken pieces of the amulet on the palm of the hand showed how dangerous the situation was at that time and that the lives of both parents were hanging by a thread.

"In the latter part of the Qi and blood, the attack was like a tiger roaring, a good move."

Zhou You realized after a little thought that this was a vicious plot to frame someone and instigate someone else, who wanted to sacrifice his parents and create an irreconcilable blood feud between Zhou You and Jianxiong Martial Arts School with no possibility of turning back.

Since the murderer had already been torn to pieces, it was impossible to find out who was behind the incident.

It could be Bao Tiefeng, or it could be other martial arts schools, or it could even be controlled by two major families.

The world is too dangerous. Even if you want to stay out of trouble, there will be countless hands trying to pull you into the game.

Those people are no match for Wang Lao Hu, so they want to train Zhou You as a traitor to betray his mentor. Their intentions are so vicious!
Zhou You has no hatred towards Wang Jianxiong. Leaving the martial arts gym was a "peaceful breakup" and there was no conflict of interest.

But some people think the matter is not big enough and secretly fan the flames!

"It seems I can't be too high-profile anymore. I have to keep a low profile. Only by hiding in the dark can I observe who has bad intentions towards me!"

Zhou You figured this out and apologized to his parents.

"I resigned from the martial arts school yesterday. From now on, I am determined to abide by the rules and concentrate on learning literature and literacy from Master Zeng."

The old couple was worried all night, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they heard their son say that he was in the pharmacy last night.

Father Zhou nodded when he heard this, "You don't have to worry about food, clothing and other expenses at home. Don't you still have Dad as the pillar of support?"
