Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Dao Method Backlash

Where would Wang Yushan dare to refuse? He nodded repeatedly and promised, "Old Master Jiang, rest assured, regarding everything that happened tonight, I guarantee not to reveal a single word to the outside."

One could say without mercy that the Wang Family is just a dog for the Jiang Family, and if it weren’t for the Wang Family being obsequious, they wouldn’t possess their current status.

To Jiang Chenlong, the future Family Head of the Jiang Family, Wang Yushan didn’t even dare to breathe heavily.

"I know you have high hopes for Wang Long, even intending to nurture him as the successor, but you must understand that this world is vast. Let alone the Wang Family, even my Jiang Family has many people and powers we cannot afford to offend."

Seeing that Wang Yushan was so sensible, Jiang Chenlong’s attitude softened a bit, patting Wang Yushan’s shoulder and said with deep meaning, "Don’t tell me Wang Long is your only son."

At these words, Wang Yushan’s face changed drastically. Of course, Wang Long was not his only son; he had an illegitimate child outside, but he had not expected that such a secret would be known to Jiang Chenlong.

He also understood that Jiang Chenlong’s sudden implication that he had another son was also a form of threat to him, that if tonight’s events were leaked, the consequences would be very severe.

Suddenly, Jiang Chenlong said, "If you have other sons, I can guarantee that in the future of the Wang Family, he will be the successor."

To give a slap and then offer a date, that was Jiang Chenlong’s technique of managing people.

Indeed, upon hearing his words, Wang Yushan immediately became excited and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Old Master Jiang! Thank you, Old Master Jiang!"

After all, the Wang Family is a powerful family in Yandu and is very large. Although he is the Family Head, many of his powers are constrained by some figures in the family.

If he were to bring his illegitimate child back to the family, it is feared that many people would not be happy.

But with the guarantee from Jiang Chenlong, he felt relieved.

"The future is long, and I look forward to more cooperation between us."

After Jiang Chenlong finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Wang Yushan led the family members in respectfully watching Jiang Chenlong’s luxury car drive away.

However, no one noticed that a cold gleam flashed in the eyes of Wang Cheng, who had been following Wang Yushan.

In the Wang Family, he was the leader of the younger generation, having reached the Dark Energy Peak Realm at the age of thirty-two, with martial talent that rivaled the Martial Path geniuses of the Nine Gates of Yandu.

If it hadn’t been for the fact that Wang Long was Wang Yushan’s son, he would be the most suitable successor for the Wang Family.

When he learned of Wang Long’s death, he was actually very pleased. With Wang Long gone, who else could compete with him for the position of successor?

But what he had never expected was that Wang Yushan had an illegitimate child, and moreover, this child had obtained Jiang Chenlong’s assurance.

Watching the position of successor that was within reach slip away, all that remained in his heart was rage.

At that moment, Wang Yushan suddenly took out a white porcelain bottle, poured out a dozen black pills from the bottle, and with a sweep of his gaze over the strongmen, he said, "Each person take one. After everything settles, I will give you the antidote."

This was his way of handling things. For any matter that needed to be kept secret, he would prepare a poison pill for each person present to prevent leaks.

Upon hearing his words, the strongmen all had very ugly expressions, but as martial artists of the Wang Family, they had no right to refuse and had to forcibly swallow the poison pills.

Seeing that only Wang Cheng had yet to take the poison pill, Wang Cheng looked at Wang Yushan and said, "Uncle, I don’t need to take it, do I?"

After pondering for a moment, Wang Yushan did not insist and put the last poison pill back into the white porcelain bottle.

Wang Yushan looked at Wang Cheng with deep meaning and said, "Xiao Cheng, when your brother returns to the family, he will need your utmost care. You must not disappoint your uncle!"

Wang Cheng was stunned for a moment before he realized that the brother referred to by Wang Yushan was the illegitimate son.

Although Wang Cheng was annoyed in his heart, he remained very calm on the surface and hurriedly said, "Don’t worry, uncle. No matter what, I will unwaveringly stand by your side."

"Good!"

Wang Yushan patted Wang Cheng’s shoulder heavily and then issued an order, "Retreat!"

Soon, the people of the Wang Family also left.

Cloud Summit Heaven Villa.

Tang Yue’er had been vigilantly guarding Qin Chuan’s bedside, gazing at his still pallid face, filled with worry in her heart.

"Big Brother Qin, tomorrow is the duel you’ve agreed to with Liu Kuangren. You mustn’t let anything happen to you! I beg you to wake up soon!"

"Isn’t my Celestial Yin Energy supposed to help you? Please absorb my Celestial Yin Energy!"

...

Tears streamed down Tang Yue’er’s face; she knew very well the importance of the upcoming battle. Yet, in his effort to help her condense the Yin Dan, Qin Chuan had fallen into a coma due to excessive exertion.

Liu Kuangren was a super-strong opponent. Even if Qin Chuan awoke now, could he recover to his peak state in time for the duel tomorrow?

At this moment, Tang Yue’er felt an overwhelming sense of guilt. She regretted following Qin Chuan to Yandu.

"Water, water..."

Just then, a faint voice suddenly rang out. Tang Yue’er’s heart leaped with joy, and as she saw Qin Chuan opening his eyes, she said with a choke, "Big Brother Qin, you’ve finally woken up!"

With that, she hurriedly got up, brought over a cup of water, and gently helped Qin Chuan to sit up against the headboard before cautiously feeding him the water.

After drinking a little water, Qin Chuan felt much more comfortable.

"Don’t worry. I’m just exhausted from overexertion, which is why I’m a bit weary. After a good sleep, I should be able to return to peak condition," Qin Chuan said as gently as he could, looking at Tang Yue’er with her teary eyes.

Half-believing, Tang Yue’er, wiping away her tears, asked, "Big Brother Qin, is that really true?"

Primarily because Qin Chuan seemed so weakened at the moment, his face sickly pale, and his speech came out feeble.

Tang Yue’er had a feeling that Qin Chuan might slip back into unconsciousness at any moment.

Smiling, Qin Chuan replied, "When have I ever lied to you? Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to me."

As he spoke, he reached out to ruffle Tang Yue’er’s head: "Alright, don’t worry about me anymore. Go get some rest!"

Tang Yue’er shook her head hastily: "I’m not going anywhere. I’ll stay by your side tonight."

Perhaps realizing her words sounded a bit too intimate, she blushed and quickly added, "Big Brother Qin, you rest. I’ll just sit by the bed, and I’ll go to sleep after you’ve fallen asleep."

Knowing that Tang Yue’er was worried, Qin Chuan did not insist otherwise. He smiled, nodded, and then lay down on the bed.

What Tang Yue’er didn’t know was that Qin Chuan was only able to talk to her by mustering the last of his energy.

The moment he lay down on the bed, Qin Chuan felt an urge to sleep on and on.

He was indeed very tired, but he knew he absolutely could not just fall asleep like this.

Internally, Qin Chuan muttered, "With my current cultivation, forcibly condensing the Yin Dan for Tang Yue’er was indeed far-fetched."

"This time I really overdid it. If I cannot recover in time for the duel with Liu Kuangren tomorrow, what should I do?"

He had not planned to condense the Yin Dan for Tang Yue’er so soon; he intended to wait until his cultivation made another breakthrough and then find a suitable opportunity.

But as fate would have it, the opportunity arose today.

To help Tang Yue’er condense the Yin Dan, it was necessary to fully activate the Celestial Yin Meridian, and a life-and-death crisis was the best opportunity.

However, due to his insufficient strength, he suffered a backlash from the Great Mysterious Taoist Arts, and with his current medical skills, he could not quickly restore himself to peak condition.
