Level Up in Martial World

That was what confused him the most, and besides, he hasn't even seen her true form yet—the one he talked to was her servant, not even her, which was troublesome for Lu Zhen.

But still, he has no choice but to go to her right now.

With that thought, Lu Zhen swiftly ended his cultivation.

"Li Nan, contact my mother and say that she doesn't have to worry about me. I will be going outside for a moment."

"Yes, young master."

"What happened to my father, by the way?" Lu Zhen asked curiously.

"From the intel I have, young master, it seems like all the remnants of the three major families have been wiped out except for the Huang family."

"Huh, what happened to them?" Lu Zhen asked in confusion.

"They… they seemed to have disappeared, young master," Li Nan spoke in a nervous tone from the shadows.

"Disappeared, huh…" Lu Zhen had a contemplative expression on his face. He remembered that mysterious envoy who was killed by the Elv's golden retriever pet and revealed a bitter expression on his face with realisation.

"I seem to be a trouble magnet." He closed his eyes, as if remembering every journey he had in his world till now, and could only come to this one conclusion.

The world revolved around him!

Everything till now was so coincidental, from his transmigration to the assassins and this and that.

As if the world was bending to his side.

He sank into this realisation as his heart gripped with even more anxiety, and an ominous feeling came from the bottom of his soul. Not any instinct, but his true soul.

Ever since that time that Lu Zhen had built his dao heart firm and unshaken, he has been faintly able to sense his soul. However, it was just an ambiguous feeling and was rather fleeting most of the time.

"Let's go for now. In the future, I should worry about these things," Lu Zhen muttered with a glint in his eyes as he disappeared, leaving afterimages in his wake.

….

The town was still in harmony as the mortals weren't even aware that a terrifying slaughter had happened outside the city wall, and the city would soon change its owner.

Even if they knew, they wouldn't care as long as they could continue their business in the city. It didn't matter to them as they lived their mundane lives filled with joy, sorrow, bitterness, injustice, love, and warmth, all to die at the end of the day.

Lu Zhen sighed, observing the bustling people as he silently left the town. Seeing Lu Zhen, the guards unhesitatingly opened the city wall to allow his exit.

The guards who were once guarding the wall for the other three major families were now slaughtered without mercy.

Now, only the Lu family guards were left. Although it would increase their workload, it was just a minor problem for a martial artist. So, Lu Zhen passed through the forest, encountering some dead people scattered around the bushes.

"They must be deserters…" Lu Zhen mused as he continued along his way, treading carefully.

As he proceeded, he finally saw the familiar broken bamboo temple in the distance, causing his eyes to light up with excitement.

"Finally reached the place." Lu Zhen's speed increased, and he almost instantaneously arrived, seeing the broken bamboo and more.

"This place has been exactly reverted back to normal," he muttered with a strange expression, remembering the damage the envoy had caused. Not only was it fixed, but it was restored to its finest details, including all its carvings and age.

Lu Zhen rubbed his eyes with an incredulous expression, finally entering the place after contemplating for a short time.

"I know you can sense me already, Elv," Lu Zhen shouted at the top of his lungs as he looked down to the temple grounds.

"What do you want? Haven't you taken advantage of me already?"

"Eh," Lu Zhen was stunned for a moment, feeling the words were wrong, but he didn't care as he shamelessly accepted, "yeah, but I want more advantage. I want to eat you alive," a smirk formed on his face.

"Then come eat me alive," Elv's voice was tinged with sultriness.

A chill ran down Lu Zhen's back as he coughed, "no thank you," he muttered with a strange expression on his face.

"Eh, why not? I am disappointed," the voice was filled with mockery. "Aren't you a man?"

"I am a man, but…" Lu Zhen paused right at this moment, "I don't want to do it with a hag who is an era old…" he cursed in a hushed tone but still was expressionless outwardly.

"I want to ask you for a favour."

"Oh, a favour. How interesting, what favour?"

"First, have you prepared my chains yet?" Lu Zhen muttered as his face became serious.

"Yes, I have already crafted it. So you want it?"

"Yes," Lu Zhen nodded his head with an excited expression on his face.

"Here."

A chain floated up from the ground, as if like a ghost, revealing a huge metre of thickness with a silver shine in the chains.

Lu Zhen looked at this in amazement, feeling the terrifying aura it erupted with the moment it came out from the ground.

His crimson eyes turned golden as he scrutinised the chain with his golden eyes.

[Unnamed Chain] (Untamed)

[Grade: Heaven Grade] (Artefact Level)

[Remarks: An ordinary chain mixed with high-quality ingredients to form a terrifying artefact with its own consciousness and multiple abilities. The host may only be able to use one ability, as the others are too high-level for them. Even if the host can use it, the effect will be terrifying enough to potentially lead to their demise.]

Lu Zhen looked at its status with a satisfied expression. However, when he noticed the untamed artefact right beside the unnamed chain, a question mark formed in his mind.

"Untamed? I have to tame this chain?" he thought.
