Chapter 223: Chapter 223 Crisis, Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce

Lin Ruoxi stood outside the hospital room, her expression slightly complex.

Ten minutes later.

The door to the hospital room was opened.

Shen Qingzhi stood behind the door and said, "Ruoxi, come in."

Lin Ruoxi was momentarily stunned; she glanced into the hospital room: "Has he recovered?"

"No!" Shen Qingzhi shook her head.

"No effect?" Lin Ruoxi frowned.

Shen Qingzhi shook her head. "It was unsuccessful; he’s unconscious and unable to do that."

Hearing this, Lin Ruoxi felt a slight sinking feeling in her heart—if this wasn’t possible, then their only hope would have to be the Medicine God Temple.

But, at the same time, she herself hadn’t noticed that, upon hearing Qingzhi and Su Luo hadn’t done "that thing," she actually breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Ruoxi walked into the hospital room.

She and Shen Qingzhi came to either side of the bed, keeping Su Luo company.

Yet at that moment, the two of them had an unspoken understanding, and neither asked any further questions.

"I’m worried Zhou Shihao might make a comeback!"

After mulling it over, Shen Qingzhi voiced her concern.

Given her understanding of Zhou Shihao, as long as he wasn’t dead, he surely wouldn’t let matters rest.

Moreover, Zhou Shihao might not even wait until he had rallied before making another move.

Once Shen Qingzhi shared this concern with Lin Ruoxi, Lin Ruoxi made a decision on the spot: "Qingzhi, stay here with Su Luo. I’ll go to Grandfather and arrange for some people; we’ll move Su Luo back to Lin Mansion overnight."

Shen Qingzhi nodded.

It wasn’t long.

Lin Songbai arrived with Lin Yuexian and a group from the Lin Family and they moved Su Luo back to the Lin Mansion.

"It’s already past three in the morning; we just have to wait a few more hours, and the Divine Doctor from the Medicine God Temple will arrive."

Wei Hongbo personally examined Su Luo’s condition again and found that, though Su Luo was weak and his pulse and heartbeat were slow, looking as if he were on the verge of death, this state had at least not deteriorated further.

Holding out until the Divine Doctor from the Medicine God Temple arrived should be no problem.

When everyone heard this news from Wei Hongbo, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"I’ve hired armed bodyguards from a security company to set up defenses outside," Lin Yuexian said at that time.

With gunmen watching over outside and Lin Songbai and Zhou Ye, two grandmasters, guarding inside Lin Mansion, he believed that even if Zhou Shihao was disgruntled and wanted to take advantage of the situation, it would be a one-way trip for him.

However.

Just as his words fell, a voice like rolling thunder echoed through the hall: "Do you think those useless guards from the security company can stop us?"

At these words, everyone’s blood boiled, and their eardrums hurt.

Some were even on the verge of fainting from the shock waves.

"Who?"

Lin Songbai, Zhou Ye, Lin Yuexian, Lin Ruoxi, Shen Qingzhi, and everyone else looked towards the direction of the main door—the source of the voice. Only those with martial arts cultivation or who had True Qi were not greatly affected by the sound waves.

The doors shook open.

A one-armed man walked in from the direction of the door.

"Zhou Shihao?"

Seeing the one-armed man, everyone’s faces changed.

They had anticipated that Zhou Shihao might return and had thus made preparations, but that was just a precaution—their minds hadn’t fathomed that Zhou Shihao would come back so quickly.

"Today, you all shall die."

Zhou Shihao’s expression was cold, even carrying a hint of ferocity.

He wanted revenge and couldn’t wait a moment longer.

"Then we’ll have to see if you actually have the strength!"

Lin Songbai snorted coldly. His foot stomped on the ground, and his body leaped into the air, lunging straight towards Zhou Shihao with a killing palm strike. Tai Chi inner strength surged in his palm, bursting forth with a terrifying might.

However.

Zhou Shihao made no move, but from behind him erupted a suffocating and heart-palpitating power that sent Lin Songbai flying while he was still mid-air.

"Pfft!"

After hitting the ground, Lin Songbai coughed out a mist of blood.

Everyone’s face changed drastically.

How could Zhou Shihao be so strong?

The next moment, they understood the reason. The person who had just sent Lin Songbai flying wasn’t Zhou Shihao, but the man standing behind him.

They all saw a middle-aged man with graying temples, likely in his forties, walk out from behind Zhou Shihao and into their view.

As this middle-aged man with graying temples stepped forward, a terrifying pressure enveloped the entire Lin Mansion. Even grandmaster-level figures like Lin Songbai and Zhou Ye felt an unprecedented horror at this moment.

Just the force of that imposing aura made it nearly impossible for them to move.

"Such a strong aura!"

Zhou Ye’s face became extremely grave.

"Could this be... a Great Grandmaster?!"

Compared to Zhou Ye, Lin Songbai felt an even more terrifying pressure. The stronger one’s ability, the more palpable the fear. This made him think of a possibility that could drive them to despair.

If the newcomer was a Great Grandmaster, then as Zhou Shihao had said, today, they might all perish here.

In the realm of martial arts, grandmasters are categorized into nine ranks.

Above the ninth rank is the Great Grandmaster!

Such strength, to them, was akin to that of deities in the heavens, utterly invincible. The opponent could kill all of them with just a thought.

"Who is Shen Qingzhi?"

The middle-aged man with graying temples, after walking in, swept his gaze over the women present.

Shen Qingzhi’s complexion changed subtly.

She thought of a possibility.

Perhaps this middle-aged man with graying temples was the Elder Wan from the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce that Zhou Shihao had once contacted!

But at that moment, she didn’t hesitate at all and stood up directly, trying to keep calm as she met the man’s gaze, "I am Shen Qingzhi!"

She hoped that the man had come just for her. By coming forward, she could avoid involving the Lin Family, and she also hoped to spare Su Luo from disaster!

"I am Wan Yuanhai from the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce," the man with graying temples said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingzhi’s expression couldn’t help but change slightly.

Indeed, it was the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce’s Elder Wan.

At that moment, Shen Qingzhi’s heart sank to the bottom.

Although the others were unaware of what the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce was, from hearing its name and seeing Zhou Shihao follow this Wan Yuanhai, they could imagine that the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce must be an extremely powerful organization. Otherwise, it would not have such a formidable presence.

"What, what do you want to do?" Shen Qingzhi suppressed the fear in her heart and asked aloud.

"You are to come with me to the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce," Wan Yuanhai declared.

"I will go with you, but only if you agree not to harm anyone here." Shen Qingzhi knew she had no power to resist. The best strategy now was to sacrifice herself to protect everyone else, especially Su Luo.

"You’re not in a position to negotiate terms with me," Wan Yuanhai said coldly.

"But if you don’t agree, then you’ll only be able to take back my corpse," Shen Qingzhi countered through clenched teeth.

Wan Yuanhai snorted, "If I don’t want you dead, do you think, you could die?"

As his voice sounded, Shen Qingzhi’s entire body was bound by an invisible force, leaving her unable to move. Even if she wanted to bite her tongue and commit suicide, she could not do it.

Clearly, just as Wan Yuanhai said, he wouldn’t allow it. She would find it difficult to die even if she wanted to.
