Before long, news of Zhao Xijun’s death had already spread throughout the entire True Martial Secret Realm.
Of course, after this news spread, the entire True Martial Secret Realm was in an uproar.
At first, no one believed it, because Zhao Xijun ranked tenth on the Tiger List and was considered unbeatable by anyone other than the top ten experts on the list.
But in general, it would be unthinkable for those ranked in the top ten of the Tiger List to lay a hand on each other.
anwhile, in a certain place were a few young people, one of whom looked very ordinary. However, occasionally, he would emit a strong and terrifying aura.
It was evident that this young man was very powerful.
In fact, his strength was indeed trendous as he was also one of the top ten experts on the Tiger List.
Moreover, he was a mber of the Zhao Family.
His na was Zhao Zhong.
It had to be admitted that the current generation of the Zhao Family was formidable, with several experts on the Tiger List, and two of them among the top ten—Zhao Xijun and Zhao Zhong.
Zhao Zhong held a sword in his hand.
It was the very sa sword that Zhao Xijun had used.
At that mont, Zhao Zhong’s eyebrows knitted slightly as he said coldly, "Soone dared to kill a mber of our Zhao Family? It seems I must take action!"
After this pause, Zhao Zhong continued coldly, "Hmph, daring to kill a mber of the Zhao Family? No matter who it is, I will make them pay the price!"
Zhao Zhong was furious, his facial expression sowhat twisted.
To be honest, Zhao Xijun’s death made Zhao Zhong extrely happy deep down, as Zhao Xijun had been his rival. Now with Zhao Xijun gone, there was no one left to compete against him.
But...
Zhao Zhong still had to take action.
If he didn’t act even when soone killed a mber of the Zhao Family, Zhao Zhong would have no way to hold his head high in the future.
One of Zhao Zhong’s subordinates said, "Young Master Zhong, but... we don’t even know who killed Young Master Jun, how are we going to take revenge?"
Another added, "Yes, Young Master Zhong, he’s right; we can’t find the murderer, so we can’t take revenge. Also... I think we should not act rashly because we don’t know who the murderer is. In other words, if the murderer is soone we can’t afford to provoke, then..."
Zhao Zhong waved his hand to interrupt him, speaking indifferently, "There’s no need for you all to say more, I know what to do!"
While speaking, with a thought from Zhao Zhong, energy flowed directly into the longsword previously used by Zhao Xijun. Simultaneously, a series of strange runes appeared on the longsword.
Eventually, these runes ford an image.
It was the scene of Lin Fan stabbing Zhao Xijun in the heart with his spear.
It turned out there was more to this longsword than t the eye. Eventually, through the Divine Skills, Zhao Zhong manipulated the intricacies within the sword to recreate the final scene of the battle between Lin Fan and Zhao Xijun.
Upon seeing this scene, everyone’s face turned sour.
A flunky beside Zhao Zhong exclaid in horror, "Damn, it’s him? The murderer is actually him? How is this possible?"
The others also had faces of fright, though they remained silent.
Zhao Zhong’s brow furrowed slightly as he asked, "You recognize this murderer? Who is he?"
The first subordinate to speak up said, "Young Master Zhong, he’s Lin Fan. Earlier there were rumors that Lin Fan was incredibly strong. Who would have thought he could kill Young Master Jun, who ranks tenth on the Tiger List? Honestly, this is beyond my imagination."
"Lin Fan? Hmph!"
Zhao Zhong said coldly, "Such trash, and he dared to think he could kill Zhao Xijun? That’s simply impossible. He definitely used so despicable ans!"
Although Zhao Zhong had heard of the legend of Lin Fan, he still did not believe Lin Fan could have killed Zhao Xijun. In his view, Lin Fan must have employed so shaful tactics to achieve this.
At this mont, a henchman interjected, "Young Master Zhong, you must not underestimate this Lin Fan; he is an extrely dangerous person, we..."
This subordinate was originally going to offer advice.
But Zhao Zhong interrupted him again, saying, "Rest assured, this Lin Fan is nothing to be afraid of because, at this mont, my own strength already ranks sixth on the Tiger List."
"Ah?"
When everyone heard Zhao Zhong’s words, they were all montarily stunned, hardly believing their ears.
Rank six?
Zhao Zhong’s ranking on the Tiger List had already reached sixth?
One flunky couldn’t help but ask, "Young Master Zhong, this... what’s going on? Wasn’t your ranking eighth on the Tiger List? How did it suddenly beco sixth?"
"Hehe!"
Zhao Zhong laughed with satisfaction and explained, "So days ago, I fought a secret battle with the expert ranked sixth, and in the end, I was victorious."
The joy spread among those listening to Zhao Zhong.
If Zhao Zhong had indeed defeated the expert ranked sixth on the Tiger List, then it ant that Zhao Zhong truly possessed the strength of that rank.
Zhao Zhong then said, "That Lin Fan, maybe he is not bad, and perhaps his strength is also strong. However, in my eyes, he is nothing more than an ant."
Everyone nodded in agreent.
They all believed that since Zhao Zhong had the strength of the sixth rank on the Tiger List, it would be absolutely no problem to slay Lin Fan. Regardless, they didn’t believe that Lin Fan was strong enough to be ranked in the top five. After all, those ranked in the top five of the Tiger List were legends.
Zhao Zhong’s eyes slowly swept over everyone as he spoke, "I have a task for you all now: find Lin Fan. Whoever does will be richly rewarded, heh heh!"
With the promise of a substantial reward, Zhao Zhong’s followers moved into action with increased urgency.
Soon, Lin Fan’s whereabouts fell under Zhao Zhong’s control.
Lin Fan was still searching for True Martial Crystal Stones and True Martial Spring Water.
Unfortunately, he had been searching for a long ti to no avail.
There was no need to ntion True Martial Spring Water, as that was extrely hard to find. As for the True Martial Crystal Stones, they had mostly been claid by others, and Lin Fan naturally failed to find any.
"It seems that breaking through to the Supre Realm within this True Martial Secret Realm is extrely difficult!" Lin Fan thought helplessly.
"Huh?"
However, in the next mont, Lin Fan’s eyebrows knit together slightly.
He had just felt an unfriendly aura sweep over him, filled with waves of killing intent.
"I’m being targeted!" Lin Fan imdiately understood what was happening.
