Chapter 754: Chapter 752 Shu Mountain Disciple

"You can go die now!"

Xiao Yifeng said coldly as he charged towards Shijing Ichiro. The latter, seeing Xiao Yifeng coming at him, changed his expression and quickly cried out, "Don’t you want to know where Kimura Yaziko is?"

Whoosh!

Upon hearing Shijing Ichiro’s words, Xiao Yifeng’s body abruptly halted, and his eyes hardened.

"Yaziko is in your hands?"

Xiao Yifeng said in a deep voice.

"That’s right, she’s indeed in my hands, and I know you have a good relationship with her."

Shijing Ichiro said with a pale and sinister sneer.

"Where is Yaziko now?"

Xiao Yifeng approached Shijing Ichiro, a terrifying aura pressing down on him, making his face even paler, as if gasping for air.

"Let me go, and I will naturally tell you later."

Shijing Ichiro said in a cold voice.

"Hmph, you think if you don’t tell me, I won’t know?"

Xiao Yifeng snorted coldly. His eyes flashed with a purple glow as he directly used the Soul-Capturing Eyes.

Instantly, Shijing Ichiro’s pupils became dilated, and his expression turned dull and wooden.

"Where is Kimura Yaziko?"

Xiao Yifeng asked sternly.

"At..."

Shijing Ichiro began to speak blandly, but just as he was about to reveal Kimura Yaziko’s whereabouts, suddenly a unique aura surged through his body.

Ah!

Spurt!

Shijing Ichiro suddenly let out a roar, his expression turning incredibly fierce. He spat out blood along with half of his tongue — the man had actually bitten his own tongue to commit suicide.

Rather than reveal Kimura Yaziko’s location, Shijing Ichiro proved to be quite principled even in choosing to end his own life.

Not having obtained the information about Kimura Yaziko, however, deeply furrowed Xiao Yifeng’s brows. He called Gongben Haotian and asked him to spare no effort to find Kimura Yaziko.

Although his acquaintance with Kimura Yaziko had been brief, she was a friend after all, and Xiao Yifeng was unwilling to let such a young life be sacrificed so senselessly.

Meanwhile, at the Lan Family residence in Yanjing.

At the Lan Family’s great hall, the elderly Lan Xuande sat at the head of the table, with the Lan Family Patriarch, Lan He, sitting by his side. Their gazes were now fixed on a young man seated nearby, clad in a white robe with long hair, exuding an elegant demeanor.

This man was dressed in the fashion of an ancient noble youth. Behind him stood two middle-aged men with solemn expressions and prominently veined temples. They released no aura, but their presence conveyed an invisible oppression.

Yet, Lan Xuande and Lan He appeared composed, their eyes sparkling with light.

"Young Master Lü, we’re truly sorry to trouble you with a personal visit this time," Lan Xuande said to the young man, smiling.

"Elder Lan, you’re too polite. Although our Shu Mountain sect has little interaction with the Lan Family, we are all Chinese after all, and Elder Lan even personally visited our Shu Mountain, willing to pay such a heavy price for the Heart of Seven Orifices," the young man said with a smile.

"Our sect could not be unreasonable. Our Sect Leader sent me here to understand Miss Lan’s condition, and if it’s as we’ve heard..."

"We are willing to part with the Heart of Seven Orifices. After all, though it is a treasure, it is not complete, and it serves no purpose for us — it’s better to save a life!"

The young man continued with a smile on his face.

"I see. In that case, good, Lan He, go call Ling’er over," Lan Xuande quickly told Lan He, who nodded and went out.

Soon Lan He returned, bringing Lan Linger with him as they slowly entered.

Today, Lan Linger wore a long white dress, her shoulder-length hair draping over her back. Her face was naturally graceful, yet she bore a different kind of refinement.

She exuded a lively charm but also a touch of frailty, pitiable and endearing, arousing an impulse to embrace and cherish her.

The young man’s gaze became fixed upon Lan Linger, his pupils contracting, his eyes filled with shock.

"Young Master Lü, this is my granddaughter Ling’er. Ling’er, this is a disciple of Tianji Peak’s Peak Master from Shu Mountain. Please, address him as Young Master Lü."

Lan Xuande looked at the two and hurriedly introduced them.

"Young Master Lü, hello!"

Lan Linger looked at the young man, bowed, and greeted him as if she were a refined lady from ancient times.

"Miss Lan, hello!"

The young man regained his composure and quickly responded to Lan Linger.

"I’ve long heard that Miss Lan of the Lan Family possesses beauty so divine, like a fairy descended from the heavens. Seeing you today, I can say that your reputation is indeed well-deserved!"

The young man looked at Lan Linger with a string of admiring words.

"You flatter me, Young Master Lü!"

Lan Linger said with a clear voice.

"No, what I said came from the bottom of my heart. Miss Lan is even three times more beautiful than those fairies. It is said that ’In the north resides a beauty, a smile that can overthrow cities, a smile that can topple kingdoms.’ Miss Lan is truly the unparalleled beauty capable of such feats!"

The young man went on with an endless stream of praise.

Lan Linger showed no annoyance and just listened quietly.

"Young Master Lü, now that you have met my granddaughter Ling’er, may I ask if the situation is as grave as reported?"

Lan Xuande looked at the young man and asked.

"Absolutely, the situation is as serious as reported!"

The young man glanced at Lan Linger and spoke directly, his gaze then shifting to Lan Xuande.

"Patriarch Lan, I will return right away to report to the Sect Leader. I will make sure the Sect Leader hands over the Heart of Seven Orifices. For a breathtaking beauty like Miss Lan to perish at such a young age would be a terrible waste of heaven’s gifts."

"Thank you, Young Master Lü!"

Lan Xuande expressed his gratitude.

"Goodbye, Miss Lan!"

The young man said to Lan Linger before leaving the place.

"Father, this Young Master Lü seems to have taken an interest in Ling’er!"

Lan He stated in a grave tone.

"It’s quite normal for him to have such thoughts. After all, my granddaughter is so beautiful. If he had no such thoughts, he wouldn’t be a man."

Lan Xuande smiled gently.

Praised by her grandfather, Lan Linger’s originally pale face showed a hint of shyness, making her look momentarily enchanting.

"Father, do you think Shu Mountain will part with a portion of the Heart of Seven Orifices?"

Lan He spoke again, with a worried look in his eyes.

"I don’t know, but after all, Shu Mountain is a reputable sect in the Chinese Martial Arts World, always aiming to reduce strife. If the Heart of Seven Orifices is of no use to them, they should hand it over."

"However, we cannot know the final outcome just yet. Let’s hope they agree to surrender the Heart of Seven Orifices."

"But Lan He, you must also find the other parts of the Heart of Seven Orifices as soon as possible, especially the one lost in Donggang. You need to search thoroughly to gather them quickly and heal Ling’er."

Lan Xuande said with a solemn expression.

"Understood, Father. I will marshal all of the Lan Family’s resources to find the remaining parts of the Heart of Seven Orifices."

Lan He spoke earnestly.

"Father, Grandfather, please don’t worry too much about me. Life and death are fated, and if heaven has decreed my demise, then no one can change that."

Lan Linger spoke lightly.

"Ling’er, you must believe that man can conquer fate. Father will ensure that nothing happens to you," Lan He assured her with a serious face.

"Mm."

Lan Linger nodded her head.
