The fatty woke up after the water was dropped on him and after that the bucket was thrown on his head which didn't ease his pain one bit.
He took some time to register everything that has happened to him so far and stood up from his place.
"I am going to ask you some questions and your only job is to answer them properly, even a single bit of resistance won't be tolerated" Liu Zheng said in the same deep voice which was almost identical to the voice of Madara Uchiha with his sharingan also activated to put fatty miao to hypnosis.
"YO-YOUUUUU, DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO IS BEH------" Miao family head furiously replied to the audacity to the guy to treat his this way but was interrupted as a loud slap resounded throughout the room and he couldn't hear anything for while nor feel the pain due to numbness.
After some time he again tried to say "THE CRIMSON CLO---" but received another slap from the back of Liu Zheng's hand.
He was getting annoyed so he held miao family head by his hair and slapped him once, twice, thrice and then he was finally put under hypnosis and won't waste any more time.
"Did you already kill the Jiang family patriarch?" Liu Zheng asked.
"Yes sir. I hired some mercenaries to do the job and even confirmed his corpse so there is no doubt that he is dead." He answered like a servant does to his master.
Liu Zheng was angry but continued to ask many questions and extracted a lot of information about the crimson cloud sect as well as half of the map which included the path to the island and some information about the treasures inside also the key used to unlock the island entrance.
He got to know that crimson cloud island doesn't have the map yet so he was relieved that he won't have problems going to the island alone and do the looting.
He ordered to divide all the family wealth in half and buy as many herbs as he could also give Liu Zheng all the available herbs as well. He informed him to give him a quite room and tell everyone not to disturb him also not give any sort of information about him to anyone.
Liu Zheng stayed in the miao family house and started practising alchemy. He learned alchemy spirit arrays quite quickly and started making pills which failed again and again for at least 2 days straight to finally make an ordinary low grade pill which was the lowest of the low.
He continued practising for 10 days waiting for the Jiang family to arrive knowing they won't be attacked mid way this time since he warned fatty miao not to and was able make some top grade ordinary pills by the end.
The Jiang family finally arrived and Liu Zheng had already decided what to do with them.
When they were all inside the Family head's room Liu Zheng entered through the garden which suprised the 3 ladies but he calmed them down saying that he knows the truth about the death of their family leader.
They became vary of Liu Zheng but he acted swiftly and instructed fatty miao to reveal everything to them also his plans for the future about zheng family's daughter and other.
They didn't want to believe due to my presence at first but after sufficient proof given by miao family head himself they were furious and Liu Zheng took some weapons and passed it to them as well as tied the fatty up to do allow them to give him whatever punishment they want and left for the adjacent room.
Half an hour later Madame Jiang came to his room, went on her knees and said "Thank you for helping us find the real culprit behind my husband's death and saving us from saving so many problems that would have lead to our death. Oh savior, we know you must have your own reasons to hide your identity but please allow us the Jiang family to repay the life saving grace in any way possible." as she finally looked towards him with eyes that shows sincere thankfulness.
Liu Zheng activated his sharingan and replied "Oh you will help me a lot Madame Zheng. Now, Strip." with the same deep voice.
She was under hypnosis so she started doing as he said but he ordered her turned around to see only the things and not sully her dignity.
Liu Zheng memorised the other half of the map on her back and ordered her to put her clothes back on as well as made her forget this whole thing.
He gave the Madame Jiang half of the miao family's wealth and asked her whole family as well as the trusted guards leaving behind to leave this house as soon as possible and go as far as they can with the border areas of the han empire or directly under the foreign sea sects would be ideal.
They left and Liu Zheng also ordered the innocent maids, family members and a few guards to scatter in all directions and in the end set fire to the Miao family house, putting an end to its chapter as well as allow any chance for crimson cloud sect to even know where the treasure island is.
The only reason he was so ruthless to the miao family was that they had molested the Jiang family girl which lead to her taking her own life and the innocent maid being beaten to death. Liu Zheng understands very well that in the cultivation world being pragmatic and not letting your emotions control you is the only way to survive but even he has his own morals. He would not hesitate to help someone in need as long as it doesn't harm him too much directly or indirectly.
And since the strong decides right and wrong in this world, he will become the strongest and start doing good after that, only after that.
Liu Zheng hirenkyaku to fly towards the nearest port since he also remembered the girl who couldn't even speak after her parent's abduction and by no means he was going to allow her to be sent to the crimson cloud island as well. ( third rate sect crimson cloud sect on a small island crimson cloud island).
He got to know there that a ship full of slaves was going to be transported there in 2 days so Liu Zheng stayed nearby and finally found a small girl in ragged clothes and an old man with him. He spoke to the old man to confirm it was them whom he was searching for and handed them a few silver tails to go to the nearest city and he promised them to someday help release her parents too if i find them. The girls name was Xiao Wu and he requested for her parents name from her grandpa too and safety allowed them to leave.
He destroyed the ship and killed all the members from the sect to not let them take anyone and freed all the slaves. Though it was a temporary measure, it was all he could do with his current strength. The destruction of the sect will have to wait until his power reaches immortal ascension realm.
The next morning he finally set out for the hidden treasure island and reached there in half a day.
Liu Zheng knew about the sea monster so he used the sharingan to avoid it and reached the barrier where he took out the key and started pouring it with huge amounts of world energy. The key (shell) felt like a bottomless pit but after some time it was filled the barrier on the island disappeared. He went inside and walked through the barrier knowing he might the flying beasts if he choose to fly.
The low level monsters on the island were no match and he found many earth grade to heaven grade herbs when he suddenly encountered a swarm of bugs. He killed them and ran away from there. After searching for half a day, he finally found it. A large gate leading somewhere inside a cave.
He concentrated his attacks on the bottom of the gate for a few hours and was able to make a through which he entered inside and covered it with a big rock after entering. Liu Zheng used the sharingan to guide himself through the darkness and entered another chamber inside it which was full of artificial light.
There was a shelf carved into the rock with many treasures, precious herbs and cultivation techniques on it which belonged to the top foreign super forces of this world but these were not his main attention. He saw 5 coloured lights coming out of another room which made him very excited.
Entering the room he finally got to see the best cheat of this verse, though some might argue stainless pure lotus is better with heaven devouring battle law. It is important to note that Liu Zheng has the 3 most powerful soul bloodline so this is much better for him.

------------------------
I have decided against giving him any kind of otsutsuki physique considering he is already very powerful and will be using The World Body Cultivation technique soon as well as have the dragon bloodline too. It does not seem a very good idea to me to stack two different bodies because it seems absurd in nature while bloodline+body cultivation looks much better.
I also want to ask you guys what would be a good mangekyou ability which is not present in the orginal. I have decided one and need your help for the other one so comment down your ideas
