Chapter 55: Chapter 55: How to Save People Without Hurting Them

In the Yan Family Mansion, after listening to the mission explained by Lu Mingliang, Yan Rufeng frowned, "This matter is a bit tricky?"

"Rufeng, since you say so, it looks like Professor Zhou is in big trouble this time." Lu Mingliang said worriedly.

"General Lu, rescuing someone without harming them makes this a bit tricky." Yan Rufeng said with a sly smile.

"You, Yan Rufeng, are really testing my patience here." Lu Mingliang pretended to be angry.

"General Lu, don’t worry, once I handle things here in the capital city today, I can go to Japan to rescue Professor Zhou at any time." Yan Rufeng said seriously.

"The tickets and passport are all prepared for you, tomorrow morning’s flight at eight." Lu Mingliang took out the tickets and passport, placing them in front of Yan Rufeng.

"General Lu, it’s settled then, give me a photo of Professor Zhou."

Lu Mingliang took out a photo and handed it to Yan Rufeng.

After taking a close look, Yan Rufeng put the photo into his storage jade ring.

Lu Mingliang explained the location where Professor Zhou was being held and the surrounding defense details to Yan Rufeng, then earnestly said, "Rufeng, this mission is extremely important; it must succeed without fail."

With eyes like an eagle, Yan Rufeng solemnly said, "General Lu, you can rest assured. On this trip to Japan, not only will I rescue Professor Zhou unharmed, but I, Yan Rufeng, will also give them a big gift!"

"Rufeng, just rescuing him is enough. Don’t act impulsively. If it causes an international incident, it will be hard to justify." Lu Mingliang warned sternly.

"Hehe."

Yan Rufeng let out a cold laugh and said, "General Lu, don’t worry, the gift I’m sending them will make sense to you in a few years."

"That’s better..."

...

Late at night, Yan Mo gathered the Yan family members together in the reception room, causing them to discuss among themselves.

"Big brother, it’s so late, why did Father call me here? What’s going on?" Yan Yun whispered.

"Second brother, I also don’t know. Let me ask Father."

Yan Feng, the eldest son of the Yan family, asked with a smile: "Father, why did you call us here? Please tell us what’s going on."

Yan Mo slowly opened his eyes, sitting in the family head’s position, he calmly said: "Our Yan family has always been a martial arts family. For generations, our ancestors devoted their lives, yet none reached the Transformation Realm. Until today, I, Yan Mo, am fortunate to step into the Transformation Realm, all thanks to Rufeng."

Seeing everyone silent, Yan Mo continued: "Although I have entered the Transformation Realm, there are many levels beyond it. Cultivation has no limits. Our Yan family descendants must focus on cultivation to reach higher realms. Today, I have decided that our Yan family will withdraw from the mortal world and live in seclusion in the mountains."

At this moment, Yan Yun stepped forward and said, "Father, doesn’t this mean that everything we have in the capital will be handed over to others? I disagree!"

"Nonsense!" Yan Mo said angrily.

"As far as I know, Rufeng has a Yiyun Group in Zhongzhou. We’ll transfer all the Yan family’s assets to his place. As for you all, you will follow me to the mountains for cultivation!"

Seeing Yan Mo get angry, the Yan family members, even if unwilling, didn’t dare to say another word.

Yan Rufeng then smiled, "Grandpa, why go to deep mountains for cultivation."

"That’s right, Rufeng is right. We don’t need to go to the deep mountains." Yan Yun’s wife agreed.

Yan Mo glared at his daughter-in-law, causing her to immediately lower her head in silence.

Yan Mo looked at Yan Rufeng with a kindly smile, "Grandson, where do you suggest we go for cultivation then?"

Yan Rufeng respectfully replied, "Grandpa, in Zhongzhou Wolong Abyss, I have built an ancient palace complex that will be completed in two months. The Spiritual Energy there is abundant, making it a great place for cultivation."

"Abundant Spiritual Energy!"

Yan Mo’s eyes lit up, "Grandson, that means I can absorb to my heart’s content. Haha, it’s settled then. Tomorrow, all members of the Yan family will follow me to Zhongzhou."

The Yan family members finally sighed in relief.

"We don’t have to go to the deep mountains anymore." Yan Yun said, giving a thumbs up to Yan Rufeng.

The Yan family’s decision to retreat into seclusion was quickly relayed to the Mu family by Mu Ru that night. Mu Yang angrily said: "That old Yan Mo beat me to it. No way, our Mu family can’t fall behind."

Mu Yang immediately called Yan Rufeng.

"Grandson, your grandfather is also taking the Mu family to Zhongzhou Wolong Abyss for cultivation tomorrow. As for the Mu family’s business, it’s up to you to manage."

Without waiting for Yan Rufeng’s agreement, Mu Yang added, "It’s settled. Get some rest now, I’m hanging up!"

"Grandpa..."

"Beep beep beep!"

Yan Rufeng stood there with the phone, helplessly saying: "Grandpa indeed acts decisively."

The seclusion of the Yan and Mu families, two of the hidden martial arts families, quickly spread in the capital the next day. For a moment, it became a hot topic on the forums.

"What happened to the Yan and Mu families? Retreating to seclusion together, what’s their plan?"

"Who knows, instead of enjoying their wealth, they’re going to the mountains. Crazy martial artists can do the stupidest things."

"Hey, watch your words. Didn’t you notice their stocks? The Yan and Mu families publicly retreated, but all their assets were transferred to Zhongzhou’s Yiyun Group."

Another netizen laughed: "Haha, I saw that too. Their stocks didn’t drop but rose. What does that imply? They played a clever move."

Someone else said: "Now Yiyun Group is number one in Huaxia’s financial rankings."

"Hahaha..."

A fangirl laughed: "My husband Yan Rufeng is now the richest man in Huaxia."

"Tsk!"

Everyone sighed, "What do you mean your husband? Yan Rufeng is the national husband and also the national son-in-law. Maybe in your next life, he’s your husband..."

On the plane to Japan, Yan Rufeng was contemplating whether to rescue Professor Zhou immediately or take a stroll first after arriving in Taiban City.

After landing in Taiban City, Yan Rufeng made up his mind. He thought, "Japan has a long coastline but a small land area. With sword flight, I could traverse the entire country in a day."

Leaving Taiban Airport, Yan Rufeng found a secluded place, summoned his flying sword, and leaped onto it. He flew swiftly, leaving a rainbow-like trail in the sky.

Sitting cross-legged on the flying sword, Yan Rufeng extended his divine sense, sweeping from the northern coastline to the southern coastline of Japan, seemingly searching for something.

Leaving Taiban City about two hundred miles away, Yan Rufeng smiled and said, "There really is a Spirit Vein."

Without hesitation, he headed straight for the Spirit Vein. Using the Earth Tunneling Technique, Yan Rufeng instantly reached the deepest part of the Spirit Vein. Seeing it was about the same size as the one at Ye Lingtian’s place, he sat cross-legged with a sly smile and began practicing the Five Elements Qiankun Cultivation God Art.

In Yan Rufeng’s dantian, three spinning Golden Cores rotated in a Trinity Formation. As soon as the Five Elements Qiankun Cultivation God Art started, they began greedily absorbing the Spiritual Energy emitted by the Spirit Vein.

Strategically needing to save someone urgently, Yan Rufeng accelerated his cultivation technique. The three spinning Golden Cores in his dantian spun faster and faster.

In no time, Yan Rufeng absorbed the newly-formed Spirit Vein in Japan completely.

Once a Spirit Vein is destroyed, it can never form again, rendering the land barren. This was why Yan Rufeng didn’t search for Spirit Veins in Huaxia for cultivation.

Inspecting his dantian, Yan Rufeng smiled and said softly, "Four Golden Cores, cultivating with Spirit Veins really makes a difference!"
