Chapter 371: Chapter 371 Liu Gong’s Strategy!
Jiang Fengnian sneered coldly as a beam of brilliance flashed over his Primordial Spirit, transforming into a long knife that instantly shattered Old Ning’s arrow of Primordial Spirit.
Old Ning screamed miserably as his Primordial Spirit became dim and lustreless.
"You... your injury has healed?"
Jiang Fengnian scoffed and said,
"What, you’ve only just realized?"
"Leave yourself behind."
Jiang Fengnian pounced directly towards Old Ning’s Primordial Spirit.
Old Ning, terrified, let out a strange cry and used a bizarre soul technique to make his Primordial Spirit disappear without a trace.
Jiang Fengnian watched the direction in which Old Ning’s Primordial Spirit vanished, an icy hue crossing his expression.
"Don’t let me encounter you again."
At that moment, at the Liu Family.
Old Ning was sitting cross-legged in meditation.
Thud!
He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his complexion becoming extremely pale and feeble.
"Jiang Fengnian..."
Old Ning let out a roar before collapsing onto the ground.
Liu Zongsen jumped with fright.
He hurriedly approached to check, only to find that Old Ning had already fainted.
Liu Zongsen’s complexion turned deathly pale with fear.
"Father, what... what’s going on?"
Liu Gong’s face was as placid as a still pond, his eyes filled with a deep chill.
He seemed to have anticipated this outcome all along.
"What’s the panic about?"
Liu Gong waved his hand to summon people to take Old Ning away for treatment.
Seeing this, Liu Zongsen looked startled.
"Father, did you already know this would happen?"
Liu Gong indifferently replied,
"Of course not."
"I just wanted him to test the waters. If he could kill Zhou Yu, it would be great. If not, at least it would let me know if Jiang Fengnian is really protecting Zhou Yu and the Lin Family of Yancheng."
"Now it seems, it’s indeed the case."
"This Jiang Fengnian, he really intends to protect Zhou Yu."
Liu Zongsen drew in a cold breath inwardly.
He now recalled that his father had never informed Old Ning that Jiang Fengnian had healed from his injury.
It turned out that his father had been planning to use Old Ning to probe all along.
"Father, now that Old Ning is injured, what should we do?"
"Then notify his sect to deal with Jiang Fengnian."
Liu Zongsen instantly understood.
Excitement gleamed in his eyes.
"Father, your ploy to send the tiger to devour the wolf is brilliant, killing three birds with one stone."
Liu Gong said soberly,
"Zongsen, if you want to take over my place one day and sit as the head of the Liu Family, you must have such a mind; otherwise, the glory of our Liu Family cannot continue."
"Father, I have learned my lesson, I’ll notify Old Ning’s sect right now."
Liu Gong nodded his head.
"Go ahead."
...
Hu Family.
Jiang Fengnian’s Primordial Spirit returned to its place. Opening his eyes, he sighed and said,
"Zhou Yu, that must have been Old Ning, a soul master from the Liu Family. Unexpectedly, he has broken through to the Saint Realm."
Zhou Yu’s heart stirred.
"If that’s the case, then according to your agreement with the Liu Family, he shouldn’t have dared to take action, right?"
Jiang Fengnian shook his head and said,
"Old Ning must have just broken through with his Primordial Spirit, but his Cultivation Realm has not reached the Saint Realm yet, so, to be precise, he is just a quasi-Saint Realm master, not within the agreement between me and the Liu Family."
"The Liu Family just took this opportunity to bend the rules."
A sharp light flashed through Zhou Yu’s eyes.
"Thank you very much just now, Deputy Minister Jiang."
Jiang Fengnian waved his hand.
"With his Primordial Spirit injured now, he won’t make a move for a while."
"I have some more affairs to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first."
"If there’s anything else here, just give me a call."
"Alright."
Zhou Yu and Hu Pingchang, the two of them, escorted Jiang Fengnian out of the villa.
After returning, Hu Zilong walked towards them, carrying a pile of things.
"Grandfather, Mr. Zhou, all the curses in our family members’ bodies have been dealt with."
"However, I’ve just taken stock of our assets, and our family’s resources are nearly gone. Even the treasury has been looted clean, leaving only these few items."
Hu Pingchang’s eyes darkened.
"Take the items down first."
Hu Zilong nodded and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute."
Zhou Yu suddenly spoke.
He saw an oddly-shaped crystal chip in Hu Zilong’s arms.
Zhou Yu reached out to take the crystal chip, felt it briefly, and a hint of joy quickly crossed the depths of his eyes.
"What is this?"
Hu Pingchang was taken aback.
"This object seems to be something I bought at an auction once, assuming it was some treasure. Later, when nothing special about it was found, it was just left in the treasury."
"Mr. Zhou, what’s the matter?"
"How about giving it to me?" Zhou Yu said with a smile.
Hu Pingchang was startled.
"Of course, Mr. Zhou, if you like it, you can take it."
"Although this thing is rather ordinary, why do you want it?"
Zhou Yu said with a smile, "To polish a bit, for gifting."
Upon hearing this, Hu Pingchang did not ask further.
After finishing with Hu Family affairs, Zhou Yu and Lu Yu left and went to Tang Long’s residence.
After seeing Old Kui, Lu Yu bounced back to Old Kui’s side, sweetly calling out,
"Grandfather."
Old Kui smiled merrily and said,
"Yu’er, you seem to be in a good mood."
Lu Yu’s cheeks instantly turned red, and she glared at Old Kui.
"Grandfather, what are you saying?"
Old Kui laughed heartily.
Zhou Yu said to Tang Long,
"Find me a quiet room."
"Sure, Mr. Zhou, please follow me."
Soon, they arrived at a quiet room at the back of the villa. After Tang Long left, Zhou Yu sat down cross-legged.
He placed the crystal chip in his palm, ready to unlock its secrets.
