Chapter 108: Chapter 103 Lethal Plan! (Five updates, twenty thousand words delivered!)

“Not to mention the friendship between him and Brother Yuan, their interests have long been tied together. Who in Ping’an County doesn’t know that Wang Ping is Chen Yuan’s right-hand man?”

With Brother Yuan losing his influence, Wang Ping’s situation won’t be good either; in fact, it could be even worse.

“Come, first follow me…”

Chen Yuan whispered.

…

City East, Sanhe Boxing Club.

...

“Master Zhao.”

Chen Yuan sat opposite Zhao Nanshan, a faint smile on his face.

“Why do you have the leisure to visit me today?”

Zhao Nanshan looked surprised.

The No-Life Sect’s branch in Cien Temple had been eradicated, and by rights, Chen Yuan, the arrest officer, should have been very busy.

“It’s all thanks to the information Master Zhao provided to me. I came specifically to express my gratitude…” Chen Yuan said cheerfully.

“That information was just my speculation; I wasn’t sure those demons were really there. Finding them was your own luck. Moreover, coming to express thanks, how can you come empty-handed?”

Zhao Nanshan mentioned this as he noticed Chen Yuan’s empty hands.

“Chen knows Master Zhao lacks nothing, so…”

“No, I’m in great need.”

After some casual conversation, Chen Yuan sought advice on some cultivation issues and even demonstrated his progress in the Dark Force,

which greatly shocked Zhao Nanshan.

After all, Chen Yuan was advancing far too quickly, no less than some geniuses.

Chen Yuan himself found it strange. He originally thought his talent for cultivation was quite ordinary. However, whether it was cultivating the Vajra Glaze Body or Saber Technique or Dark Force…

Chen Yuan was able to grasp them very quickly.

Sometimes he wondered whether his talent for cultivation was not ordinary, especially in martial arts such as the Saber Technique. As for other aspects, after being refined by the Marrow Cleansing Spirit Pearl, he now surpassed most martial artists.

“It’s a pity that if you could enter a major cultivation sect, your future achievements would definitely be extraordinary…” Zhao Nanshan shook his head somewhat regretfully. Chen Yuan’s comprehension was extremely high, grasping the essence of what he was taught almost instantly.

Not like Guo Xu, whom he had also taught wholeheartedly, but Guo Xu’s potential was very limited, and he had no choice but to give up on nurturing him and let him cultivate a mundane life.

“It’s mainly because Master Zhao teaches well.”

Chen Yuan complimented.

“You, never a visitor without a reason. Speak, if there’s something you need, I will help if I can. If I cannot aid you, do not be disappointed.”

Zhao Nanshan didn’t fall for the flattery, directly asking Chen Yuan his purpose.

“Chen would like to ask, how much strength does Master Zhao still possess?”

Chen Yuan’s expression turned grave.

Yes, this visit was indeed to seek assistance. Having the Blood Evil Saber as a trump card was not enough; Chen Yuan needed to strengthen his forces as much as possible, which is why he came to the Sanhe Boxing Club to find Zhao Nanshan.

Now the only person who could and might be willing to help Chen Yuan was Zhao Nanshan alone.

He had visited the person in Yanyu Building today, but as Su Ziyue had said, she had already left Ping’an County today, and her whereabouts were unknown.

Chen Yuan only had direct contact with Su Ziyue, who could find him, but he could not locate her.

If Su Ziyue were here, then everything would indeed be under control. With her presence, no one could stir trouble in this area.

Of course, Su Ziyue was not a babysitter and might not condescend to help him.

After all, he was not yet a formal member of the Taoist Divine Palace, just one of many reserve candidates.

His strength and status were probably not enough to rank within the Divine Palace.

Watching Chen Yuan’s suddenly somber expression, Zhao Nanshan furrowed his brows and asked in a low voice,

“Why ask this? I’m just an old man, half a cripple at that. How much strength could I possibly muster?”

Chen Yuan spoke with focused calm,

“I’m currently facing some difficulties. A Condensing Evil powerhouse wants to kill me. Although I also have the power to fight back, it’s not entirely secure.”

“With the No-Life Sect eradicated, who else wants to kill you?”

Zhao Nanshan squinted his eyes, seemingly pondering.

Chen Yuan did not answer, for it was not yet time to disclose it.

After a long silence, Zhao Nanshan said,

“If it’s at the Qi Absorption Level, I could hold off for a quarter of an hour. If it’s above Condensing Evil, I probably couldn’t withstand even three breaths.”

“Master Zhao, rest assured, it’s just the Qi Absorption Realm.”

“What do I get in return for helping you? My old bones can’t stand too much fighting…”

“As long as old Zhao can help me, you may name your conditions. I am a man of my word—when I say I will do something, I do not go back on my word…” Chen Yuan spoke with gravity.

To help you is a favor, not to help you is my right.

If Zhao Nanshan truly decided to help him, Chen Yuan would definitely keep it in his heart.

…

The next day,

Late at night.

Cao County, Liu Family.

After hearing Yun Bo’s report, a brutal look flashed across Liu Shuanghe’s face, and he heavily smashed the table beside him into pieces, his expression darkening.

“Damn it, this really is damnable!”

Liu Shuanghe was furious. During this period, he had tried countless methods to save the Liu family, but all were in vain.

Those people, pressing step by step, aimed to eradicate the Liu family.

Now, they had even driven his two children to death in the prison cells.

Truly, damnable!

A pack of dogs, clinging onto the Liu Family like hyenas.

The Liu family had already ceded many benefits, yet they continued their relentless pursuit. Liu Shuanghe himself didn’t understand why the Liu family attracted such hatred, to the extent they were determined to annihilate it.

“My lord, perhaps it’s become necessary to take action,” Yun Bo said, his aged face filled with a grave expression.

The unclear death of the Liu family children in the Ping’an County Government; if they didn’t even let out a fart, the Liu family really would be nothing but fat meat on the chopping board for others!

Anyone would come forth to take a bite.

The situation the Liu family would face then would be several times worse than it is now.

The people did not take action against the Liu family previously for two reasons: fear of the pressure from the Qingyun Sword Sect and unwillingness to provoke Liu Shuanghe, a Gang Condensation Realm powerhouse, in a desperate situation for a mutual destruction scenario.

Such a man, if he launched an all-out attack from the shadows, would put their families in a very dangerous situation; not capturing him would implicate the whole clan.

Could they stay indoors forever?

“But if we attack a court official, the Liu family will only die faster…” Liu Shuanghe’s face repressed his anger.

The Liu family isn’t one of those major Jianghu sects; even if they violated the court’s law, it’s not a serious matter, and the court will not turn their back on the Liu family because it would risk unraveling everything.

With the capacity of the Liu family, they truly dare to provoke the Government.

As soon as a powerhouse from the Heavenly Patrol Bureau arrives, it would be the day of annihilation for the Liu family!

Now, there were only two paths before the Liu family. One was to quietly act as if nothing had happened, like a turtle retracting its head, but this wouldn’t last long as wave after wave of tests would emerge continually.

The other was to kill Chen Yuan to make a statement, but this would undoubtedly lead to a quicker death, as once evidence was found—no, even without evidence, if they merely framed him—

The calamity of the Liu family’s extermination would be upon them.

Both paths were roads to death!

“My lord, the best we can do now is probably only…”

A hint of killing intent flashed across Yun Bo’s face.

After a long silence, Liu Shuanghe took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

“Secretly take Feng’er out of Cao County, head to Blood State. Even if I die, I must shatter their teeth to show them that the Liu family has its dignity!”

“My lord, this…”

Yun Bo hesitated, their previous plan had been to secretly take some wealth and leave Qingzhou to make a living elsewhere, but it seemed Liu Shuanghe was changing his mind.

Liu Shuanghe raised his hand to stop Yun Bo’s further advice and closed his eyes, whispering:

“If I do not die, they won’t be at ease, and the pursuit will continue. Only by staying here will they be satisfied. Feng’er is still young, Yun Bo, you must take good care of him”

“From now on, he is your grandson. If his talent is not sufficient, do not let him enter Martial Arts. Living a stable life is also good…”

Yun Bo: “My lord, you are the backbone of the Liu family. If you were to… how could the Liu family ever revive?”

“My mind is made up. After suffering through these indignities, it’s time for them to pay some price….”

It feels better to read it all at once.
