Chapter 359: Chapter 359: Each Harboring Their Own Schemes

Therefore, the entire courtyard was unusually quiet, and the sound of bone cracking naturally reached everyone’s ears.

The disciples of the Wu Family, upon hearing that Wu Dabao’s hand bones were crushed, couldn’t help but feel a jolt in their hearts, and many even felt a chill in their own hands.

It should be known that the Wu Family’s inherited cultivation technique is the Kunlun Hand, a hand technique. If the hand bones are broken, it’s like a steel knife blade being bent, reduced to waste!

Wu Xiaoyu crushed Wu Dabao’s hand bones, then released his grip, slowly stepped back a few steps, and smiled, “I am no vile man; you must have mistaken me for someone else!”

The now crippled Wu Dabao could no longer care about vile men or the Wu Family’s Wave Riding Skill.

His body trembled and he tried to clasp his hands together, but his hands remained motionless.

My… my hand is ruined? Wu Dabao’s heart surged with horror and desolation, and he collapsed to the ground, crying out, “My… my hand won’t move…”

It was then that Wu Santong, who had been sitting quietly to the side, realized that the sound he had heard wasn’t just ringing in his ears—his grandson’s hand was truly crippled!

“Dabao…” Wu Santong sprang up, rushed to Wu Dabao’s side, and shakily reached out to touch his hand.

Wu Santong gently touched Wu Dabao’s hand, anxiously asking, “Dabao, how is it? Do you feel anything?”

Wu Dabao cried, “No… no feeling! Grandpa, my hand is ruined. I can never practice Kunlun Hand again…”

The disciples of the Wu Family standing by had sorrowful expressions on their faces, but each harbored their own thoughts.

His hand is ruined; he cannot practice Kunlun Hand anymore. Doesn’t that mean my status in the clan will rise?

Perhaps the family head will choose a new heir for the Kunlun Hand and teach me the most important and powerful Sixteen Forms.

Upon knowing for sure that his grandson’s hand was crippled, Wu Santong’s heart filled with shock and boundless sorrow.

This child is not only his direct grandson but also the best of the Wu Family’s third generation. He had spent great efforts nurturing him and often collected Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to nourish him.

This allowed him to cultivate hidden force at a young age. Twenty years of painstaking cultivation—all ruined so suddenly?

“Boy, who exactly are you?” Wu Santong asked, suppressing his grief and rage, staring directly at Wu Xiaoyu.

Wu Xiaoyu held no old grudge or new hatred with the Wu Family, and today, he didn’t act to help the Wu Family either. It was out of necessity.

Thus, he tried not to be too overbearing, humbly replying, “Who I am doesn’t matter. What matters is your grandson’s hand…”

Before he could finish, Wu Santong interrupted, “You dog, you dared cripple my grandson’s hand?! You deserve to die for this!”

Wu Xiaoyu had originally intended to say that his grandson’s hand could still be saved. Seeing Wu Santong’s unwarranted insults made him furious.

Your grandson was being disrespectful just now, and I only gave him a small lesson to make him suffer a bit before treating his hand.

But you, an old man with decades of life experience, do not understand the word courtesy. The moment you open your mouth, you curse people. Truly infuriating!

Seeing Wu Santong curse him without reason, Wu Xiaoyu grew angrier. He coldly said, “Yes, I crippled your grandson’s hand. What of it?”

These words were like a clap of thunder, shocking everyone in the courtyard. To know that Wu Santong had already touched upon the Hua Realm.

With some fateful coincidences, he might step into the Hua Realm. At that time, even the deeply powerful ancient martial families wouldn’t dare act so arrogantly.

Yet this obscure young man dared to insult and provoke. Truly, he must be tired of living!

Though Mr. Wu knew of Wu Xiaoyu’s extraordinary strength, he did not wish to make a deadly enemy of the Wu Family. Moving quickly, he tried to mediate:

“Brother Wu, this young friend Zhang here is still young and has offended in many ways. Please be magnanimous and don’t hold it against a junior!”

Wu Santong, upon hearing this, felt his anger grow rather than diminish. Old Man Wu, are you protecting this dog?

“Wu, our families are in-laws. Now, this brat has crippled Dabao’s hands, and you still speak for him?” Wu Santong glared at Mr. Wu, threateningly.

Seeing this, Wu Xiaolan not only failed to restrain but added fuel to the fire: “Who told him he wasn’t as skilled? If he gets beaten to death, he deserves it!”

This statement thoroughly infuriated the Wu Family. Wu Hanqing led over a dozen Wu Family disciples forward.

“Your Wu Family shouldn’t push us too far. Do you believe we, the Wu Family, can annihilate you with a wave of our hand?” Wu Hanqing menacingly approached Wu Xiaolan.

The Wu Family sisters, young yet already hidden force experts, being young and spirited as well as extraordinarily strong, naturally were fearless.

“Come on! If you have the guts, let’s settle this today and have a great fight!” Wu Xiaohua stepped forward, also issuing threats.

Though the Wu Family’s numbers were thin, making them seem weak, they were all hidden force experts. The Wu Family, though more numerous, had only three hidden force experts.

Thus, if it came to an all-out fight, victory was anyone’s guess. This was precisely why the two families had considered a marriage alliance.

Of course, the Wu Family’s eagerness for this alliance was also driven by the desire to steal the Wave Riding Skill.

Wu Santong had practiced hidden force for over thirty years, having touched the threshold of the Hua Realm for over ten years but never able to cross it.

Thinking further, Wu Santong believed that continuing the Kunlun Hand held no benefit and turned his focus to the Wave Riding Skill of the Wu Family.

Despite many requests, the Wu Family continually refused to expedite the marriage, citing the sisters’ young age.

Today, Wu Family disciples encountered the Wu sisters who were escorting Wu Xiaoyu, prompting the Wu Family to concoct this scheme to force the issue.

Yet Wu Santong didn’t expect this man the Wu sisters brought to be so formidable, disabling Wu Dabao with a single move.

This extreme action unnerved Wu Santong. His words were both to test Wu Xiaoyu’s strength and the relationship between the Wu Family and Wu Xiaoyu.

If the Wu Family did nothing, it would imply Wu Xiaoyu was merely taken by the Wu sisters by accident.

If the Wu Family intervened, it would suggest deep ties with Wu Xiaoyu, making it necessary for Wu Santong to be careful.

Thus, Mr. Wu’s defense of Wu Xiaoyu both infuriated and intimidated Wu Santong, causing him to suspect the Wu Family might be backed by a powerful ancient family.

“Hanqing, shut up!” Wu Santong said resentfully.

Wu Hanqing, confronting the Wu sisters, reluctantly turned at his elder’s command, angrily saying, “Elder, the Wu Family is too much! The sisters are not only immoral, flirting around, but they’ve even recruited an outsider to harm Dabao!”

Wu Santong glared at Wu Hanqing to silence him, then approached Wu Xiaoyu, enduring humiliation and rage as he solemnly asked, “Who are you really? And what is your relation to the Wu Family?”

Seeing his persistence, Wu Xiaoyu shook his head and reluctantly replied, “I raise chickens and merely had a random encounter with the Wu Family.”
