The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1120 - 1119: Killing Zhou Keyun

"There are even better things here; it seems we have no choice but to work hard."But the potential endowed by nature is severely mismatched with postnatal effort, and the strength still cannot be fully demonstrated.

Li Zhentong led everyone to a larger open space.

The field is suitable for close combat. Besides measuring strength, it also tests combat power, and the best way to measure it is by seeing it with your own eyes.

He divided everyone present into several teams, with teams battling each other in pairs. After a fight, there would be casualties.

Li Zhentong is a middle god, his cruelty lies in the fact that you never know how many people he's willing to sacrifice for profit.

"I could never win against so many talents. How could I give up my life for cultivation resources?"

No, Tang Rao decided to quit. In the first duel, he has to intentionally lose.

"Team One and Team Two should be the first to draw people; you allocate your opponents. If anyone gets first place in today's strength test and helps the Li Family regain face and status in the Middle God contest, the future position of Head of the Li Family..."

Li Zhentong left it there, but the people below went crazy. They never thought Li Zhentong would gamble the position of Family Head to win.

What a big gamble.

Originally planning to step down easily and avoid getting involved, but unfortunately, Li Zhentong's offer was too tempting. Even Tang Rao couldn't bear to say "no" to him.

Tang Rao was in the teams at the back. From his analysis, the first few teams were mostly cannon fodder, used to warm up. The latter teams were the true contenders for victory. Li Zhentong's grouping was extremely shrewd.

"This round, that strong man will definitely win. Look at the youngster; his thighs aren't even as thick as the man's arms. What's he fighting for?"

The others stood outside observing and learning. The person sitting next to Tang Rao started commenting from the moment they stepped into the ring, as if he was an authority on the matter.

"Look at that person, yellow hair, small body, dark skin. He has all the flaws. If he can become a dark horse, I'd be the first to believe in him."

Truly confident.

Tang Rao had agreed not to laugh, but as soon as the man finished speaking, Tang Rao couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Kid, you're just a lower god. What are you laughing at?"

Zhao Zhuo wanted to hit Tang Rao, but Tang Rao dodged swiftly.

"The master is present, and you dare to lay hands on me?"

Zhao Zhuo wasn't afraid of the master. He had always gained favor with him, and even if he was disrespectful, the master would at most say a few words to him.

"What's there to be afraid of? How many years have I followed the master, and what are you worth?"

Zhao Zhuo still wanted to hit Tang Rao, but Tang Rao retaliated with a punch, leaving Zhao Zhuo speechless.

"Do you know why Zhou Keyun isn't here? He's the one swearing to marry the young lady. Shouldn't need me to remind you, right?"

Tang Rao suddenly remembered the person he killed on the way back from the Rain Festival two days ago. If Zhao Zhuo wanted to hear, Tang Rao could share it with him.

"Zhou Keyun?"

This name was very familiar to Zhao Zhuo. He had tried several times to kill Zhou Keyun but each time Zhou Keyun got away. Could Zhou Keyun's disappearance be related to Tang Rao?

"Yes, fortunately, I saw him once last time. Otherwise, I wouldn't know the person I slapped to death was him."

There wasn't even a hint of exaggeration in Tang Rao's words.

"Zhou Keyun was someone the master valued highly. Aren't you afraid I'll tell the master, and he'll kill you?"

Tang Rao, being so smart, did he really deliver the goods to Zhao Zhuo himself?

"Go ahead, feel free to tell. If I'm scared, I'll admit defeat."

Does Zhao Zhuo dare not to?

Zhao Zhuo needed to vent the frustration he suffered from Tang Rao by exploiting Tang Rao.

He quickly went to Li Zhentong's side. Li Zhentong trusted Zhao Zhuo for many years, and Zhao Zhuo showed less formalities than others.

"Master, have you seen Zhou Keyun lately?"

Everyone in the Li Family knew Zhao Zhuo and Zhou Keyun didn't get along. Why was Zhao Zhuo suddenly concerned about Zhou Keyun?

Li Zhentong recalled recent events and realized that indeed, he hadn't seen Zhou Keyun lately.

"I haven't seen him."

Perhaps Zhou Keyun went into seclusion somewhere.

Among all the lower gods, he was the strongest and had the best chance of getting first place. Given Zhou Keyun's special status, even if he missed the assessment, Li Zhentong wouldn't mind.

"Master, but I heard Zhou Keyun is dead!"

With each statement, Zhao Zhuo observed Li Zhentong's expression. Seeing Li Zhentong suddenly enraged, Zhao Zhuo knew that Tang Rao was in big trouble.

"Dead? You better have proof for what you're saying!"

Li Zhentong placed a hand on Zhao Zhuo's neck. A little force and Zhao Zhuo would be in jeopardy.

"Absolutely true, I wouldn't dare deceive you, master."

Only then did Zhao Zhuo relay everything Tang Rao had said to him verbatim to Li Zhentong.

"It was all said by Tang Rao himself. He also said he slapped Zhou Keyun to death. There can be no mistake."

Zhou Keyun and Zhao Zhuo had grudges, and if Zhou Keyun was dead, Zhao Zhuo was the most suspicious. However, for so many years, their conflict was minor, and their progress depended on each other. It's unlikely Zhao Zhuo killed Zhou Keyun.

"Someone, go check if Zhou Keyun's soul jade is broken."

Li Zhentong gave the order, and soon there was a response.

"Report to the Family Head, the Soul Jade Plate is shattered!"

Li Zhentong felt as if the sky had collapsed. He fell back into his chair, unable to recover.

"So Zhou Keyun is really dead!"

He was a meticulously nurtured genius, and hearing he was slapped to death was unbearable for Li Zhentong.

"Bring Tang Rao to the secret chamber for me."

Li Zhentong was furious, losing interest in watching the upcoming battles.

"Yes, I'll do it immediately."

Zhao Zhuo, doggedly, ran quickly to Tang Rao and maliciously said, "The master requests you to the secret chamber. Hurry up!"

Humph!

Just earlier, he was so cocky. Let's see how long he can keep that up.

Zhao Zhuo heard that once someone entered the secret chamber, they never walked back out alive.

Isn't this exactly the outcome Tang Rao wanted?

Li Zhentong called Tang Rao to the secret chamber, so he went. Looking at Zhao Zhuo so pleased was amusing.

Li Zhentong entered the secret chamber, and Tang Rao followed.

Along the way, he could still enjoy the scenery, humming a tune, not taking the entry to the secret chamber seriously.

"Tang Rao, was Zhou Keyun killed by you?"

Tang Rao had just entered the secret chamber when he felt an overwhelming pressure bearing down on him.

This was no secret chamber; to Tang Rao, it seemed Li Zhentong had crafted this place specifically for torment and punishment.
