Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 157 Obsessed
The two of them put aside their contempt and decided to speak out and make friends.
So he asked, "What's this young man's name? Which sect is he from?"

The young man turned his head and looked over, speaking coldly.

"I am Lin Pingzhi!"

"It's the orphan from the Fuwei Escort Agency that you just mentioned!"

The two guests had sweat on their foreheads and looked frightened.

With just a glance, they felt the strange inner energy emanating from Lin Pingzhi, and soon realized that the other party's martial arts was far superior to theirs!

Just now he was saying that the victim of the Fuwei Escort Agency was not there, but when he turned around, he was sitting behind him. The ups and downs of his mood were even worse than when he was on a boat out to sea and encountered huge waves.

Fortunately, I didn't say anything about the Fuwei Escort Agency just now.

At this time, they did not have the courage to ask Lin Pingzhi whether the rumor he had just told was true or not. They just kept silent and ate the meal in silence.

The reason why Lin Pingzhi appeared here was, of course, because he was invited by Shangguan Jinhong.

Ever since he left Emei, he returned to Taiping Town with the treasures he obtained from the underground palace and lived in Lu Ping's home. He practiced martial arts diligently every day, helped his neighbors with small favors, and continued the reputation of "Jianghu Wanshiwu".

Not long after, he received a letter from Lu Ping.

At that time, Lu Ping was returning to the capital city from Zhengqi Villa, where he was surrounded by assassins led by Dugu Yihe and Jin Jiuling. After learning about the existence of the Suzaku Society from them, he became interested in this organization.

In particular, the low-level killer of the Suzaku Society at that time used a very fast sword technique, which made him think of the "Bixie Sword Technique", and then he began to suspect the real inside story of the annihilation of Lin Pingzhi's family.

He wrote down what he had experienced, including his speculations, in a letter and sent it to Lin Pingzhi.

At the end of the letter, Lu Ping wrote:
"If you want to investigate the truth, you can go back to the Fuwei Escort Agency and check the movements and changes of the family's properties. Anyway, now that you have practiced the Scroll of Earth, ordinary people in the martial arts world are no match for you."

"But remember, people only have one life, you are not allowed to test it easily!"

When Lin Pingzhi received the letter, he learned that there was a secret behind the annihilation of his family. He was so worried that he couldn't sleep for several days and nights. After careful consideration, he decided to return to his hometown and investigate the matter in depth.

After returning to Mingjian County, Lin Pingzhi followed the advice given by Lu Ping in the letter and started an investigation starting from the original properties, old acquaintances, and old houses of the Fuwei Escort Agency.

In the end, it was discovered that basically none of the Lin family's assets flowed to the Qingcheng Sect, but instead went into the hands of local royal merchants, landlords, officials, and others.

After further investigation and secret visits to the neighbors, he discovered that not long after the incident at the Lin family, a group of mysterious people frequently appeared near his hometown and stayed there for several days before leaving.

At this point, Lin Pingzhi generally believed Lu Ping's guess in the letter.

He never imagined that the one who targeted his family's martial arts was not the Qingcheng Sect, but the "Suzaku Society", and that the martial arts passed down in his family were actually such a ridiculous thing.

If his enemy was only the Yu Canghai lineage in Qingcheng, Lin Pingzhi felt that he still had a chance to take revenge, because after all it was a grudge between people in the martial arts world.

But now his enemy is the Suzaku Society, which has the support of the 'Emperor', and the hatred has risen to the level of the imperial court, and he suddenly became confused.

He hated the court for not being able to distinguish right from wrong, hated Yu Canghai for aiding and abetting Zhou, hated himself for being powerless, hated the injustice of heaven, the misfortunes of fate, the treacherous world, and in the end, even hated that his ancestors were too ostentatious.

With no place to vent his resentment, Lin Pingzhi could only choose to numb himself with alcohol.

In the following days, he became increasingly depressed and got drunk in a pub near his hometown and passed out.

Just then, the Money Gang found him.

It turned out that ever since Lin Pingzhi returned to Mingjian County and started investigating the Lin family's old businesses, the people from the Jinqian Gang discovered this orphan of the Fuwei Escort Agency and what he was doing.

After the news was reported to Shangguan Jinhong, he didn't care at first and just asked someone to do a simple investigation. With the power of the Jinqian Gang, they would naturally be able to quickly find out that the people who attacked the Fuwei Escort Agency were from the Qingcheng Sect.

Shangguan Jinhong keenly realized that this matter could be used!

So he invited Lin Pingzhi over, intending to use the case of "the destruction of Fuwei Escort Agency" to target Qingcheng Sect.

After some consideration, Lin Pingzhi accepted Shangguan Jinhong's invitation.

Although it is very likely that the Suzaku Society is the real culprit behind the murder of the entire Fuwei Escort Agency, Yu Canghai is the direct murderer, so of course he cannot let him go!
After arriving at the banquet, Lin Pingzhi felt that he was out of tune with the others.

After all, he chose to participate in this parliamentary session because he felt that he could use the power of the Money Gang to accelerate his revenge plan, and he also wanted to see what this rumored and arrogant gangster wanted to do.

After hearing Shangguan Jinhong's plan, Lin Pingzhi was surprised but not too surprised.

It would be abnormal for someone who can reach this position in the underworld to not have some ambition!

But this ambition had little to do with his own revenge, so in the following time, Lin Pingzhi just drank and ate meat silently and did not participate in the discussion.

If he hadn't heard people behind him talking about his family's affairs, he wouldn't have lost his composure and exposed himself. Seeing that Lin Pingzhi didn't pursue their impolite behavior of gossiping, the two who had been talking loudly before restrained themselves with lingering fear and stopped talking.

However, just as the two of them shut up, a person next to them who seemed to be drunk and had no tact started laughing.

"Are you the orphan of the Fuwei Escort Agency?!"

"I see that your internal strength is pretty good, and the sword on your back seems to be extraordinary, but how come you can't even protect a family member?"

Just a few words made Lin Pingzhi silent and defensive.

He just felt that these words were like stabbing a knife into his heart and stirring it vigorously, causing unbearable pain.

Lin Pingzhi knew that the internal strength that the other party called "pretty good" was not just "good" but was quite powerful. Even Shangguan Jinhong would praise him as a "genius" after seeing it.

And it only took me three months to develop such internal strength!

Of course, Lin Pingzhi also knew that his current achievements were entirely due to the power of the Bingjia Wujing martial arts book itself, rather than his own outstanding martial arts talent.

If it were at that time, with his current martial arts skills, he could have saved the lives of his entire family.

It's a pity that this martial art came too late!
Even if I become stronger now, what use is it other than killing my enemies to vent my anger?
Can my family come back?
It’s even hard to say whether there is any hope for revenge!

The more Lin Pingzhi thought about it, the sadder he felt.

It was difficult to sort out the depression and injustice in his chest. His agitated mood caused his internal energy to run rampant in his dantian and tendons, causing his face to turn blue and red.

The man who spoke had little experience in martial arts and did not know the reason for the change in Lin Pingzhi's expression. He just thought that he was good at speaking and was able to describe others in this way with just one sentence, and he was instantly very proud.

Then, taking advantage of the alcohol, he became even more outspoken.

"I almost forgot. If you had this ability at that time, you would not have been defeated by the people of Qingcheng. So, could it be that your martial arts skills were developed in just a few months?"

"Could it be that he practiced the 'Evil-Repelling Sword Manual' they were looking for?"

"Since your Lin family really has this sword technique, why didn't you hand it over directly to save your life? This way, at least you can save the lives of your family..."

"But now that he's dead, there's no point in saying anything!"

"By the way, since you are sitting here today, you must have been invited by Gang Leader Shangguan, right? You should have heard what Gang Leader Shangguan said just now about dealing with the 'Five Mountains and Seven Sects'."

"In my opinion, Qingcheng is so powerful that it is difficult for one person to take revenge!"

"How about this, you can be more generous and take out your Sword Manual of Exorcism and let everyone practice together."

"Since I have learned your family's swordsmanship, I must be grateful to you. There are so many of us here, and we will help you to get revenge. Isn't it more likely that you will have a better chance than fighting alone?"

I don't know if this guy was really drunk, but he kept talking nonstop. In the end, he even began to hint to Lin Pingzhi, intentionally or unintentionally, to hand over the Manual of the Sword of Exorcism.

"Have you said enough?! If you're done, I'm leaving!"

Lin Pingzhi held on to his remaining rationality, shouted coldly, and stood up to leave.

The people around had already noticed the conversation going on here, and after listening to it, they found it very interesting. They immediately wanted to use their power to bully the weak, so they came over to block the way, laughing and making a noise.

"That's right! You'll need our help in the end anyway, so just consider it as paying interest in advance."

"Don't worry, we are well-known figures in the martial arts world. We are definitely not doing this because we covet your swordsmanship. We are just curious and want to see what kind of swordsmanship can make the Qingcheng Sect lose face and do such a thing."

"People in the martial arts world praise your family's Exorcism Sword Skill so highly, but I just don't agree. This time I must verify which one is stronger, the Exorcism Sword Skill or the 'Sanchai Sword Skill' I practiced!"

"Yes, yes, everyone is right..."

Every word he said was filled with ulterior motives and a hypocritical appearance, which made Lin Pingzhi so furious that he could not contain himself. The grief and indignation that had accumulated over this period of time immediately added seven points of resentment, and he finally could not bear it any longer!

Why is the world like this?!
People in the underworld should help the weak and fight against the strong, speak up for justice, help the poor and the needy, and punish the evil!
How come the people I meet, except for the other five of the 'Taiping Six' whom I made friends with, are all greedy, sanctimonious hypocrites?

“This shouldn’t be the case!!!”

Lin Pingzhi could no longer control his emotions and suddenly let out a long shout towards the sky.

Under the astonished gaze of everyone, all of Lin Pingzhi's internal energy burst out!

His hair stood on end with rage, and he looked like a madman.

It seems like he has gone crazy!
