Chapter 477: Chapter 477: Cunning Path!

Zhou Yu was startled for a moment, then said with disdain,

"Haven’t they already joined forces once? As it turned out, they were just a lousy bunch that couldn’t make a difference."

Xun Zheng hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhou, this time is different. Mr. Second made it clear that this time, they want to create a unified leadership everyone must unconditionally obey."

"Moreover, I’ve heard that a big shot from the Letian Association is coming back."

Zhou Yu’s eyebrows rose in intrigue.

"A big shot?"

"What big shot?"

Xun Zheng shook his head and said,

"It’s not clear yet."

"However, the only people in the Letian Association who can be called big shots are either the chairman or the Heavenly Master."

The Heavenly Master?

A sharp light flickered in Zhou Yu’s eyes.

He was just worrying about how to find this Heavenly Master.

According to what the Demon Prison Master had told him, this Heavenly Master had quite a bit of Yang Qi.

If he could get it, then he would surely be able to condense a Yang Spirit.

"Additionally, it seems like Lin Zhaoxuan from the Lin Family of the provincial capital was frightened by the incident with the Dong Family. He wants to seek protection from the Letian Association but fears their ambition to swallow up his Lin Family. So, he came to me, gave me a lot of money, implying he wanted me to protect the Lin Family in the name of the Letian Association."

"To appease him, I’ve temporarily agreed."

"If Mr. Zhou finds the Lin Family troublesome, I can employ the power of the Letian Association to eliminate them."

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes.

"No need, keep them for now."

"Send me the address of their meeting."

Xun Zheng was taken aback.

"Mr. Zhou, are you planning to come in person?"

Zhou Yu nodded and said,

"Of course."

...

Inside a private manor of the Letian Association.

Within a luxurious meeting room.

Sitting in attendance were the Second Master of the Letian Association, Yang Tianpeng, Gao Yingxiang, Lin Zhaoxuan, Liu Zongsen, Elder Wen, and others.

Apart from these top figures of Qin State, many affiliates of the Letian Association were also present, among which Xun Zheng was prominently included.

Gao Yingxiang seemed to harbor great resentment as he was the first to speak out and question,

"Second Master, what’s your real purpose in forcing my Gao Family to attend this meeting organized by your Letian Association?"

"Don’t tell me it’s to deal with Zhou Yu?"

The Second Master smiled faintly and said,

"Family Head Gao is right, this time, it is to deal with Zhou Yu."

As these words were spoken, the faces of the crowd showed varying reactions.

Gao Yingxiang’s face was stern as he said,

"Second Master, it seems to me you’re mocking us."

"Just a few days ago, the special envoy Yang also attempted something similar, and I suppose everyone knows what happened to the Dong Family afterward."

"If the Letian Association is going to do the same thing, which one of our families are you planning to use as cannon fodder this time?"

Yang Tianpeng’s brows furrowed.

This Gao Yingxiang dared to mock him with his words, as if the incident with the Dong Family was all his fault.

If the Gao Family didn’t still have some utility, he would have disposed of Gao Yingxiang long ago.

With a dark expression on his face, Yang Tianpeng said,

"Family Head Gao, last time was indeed an accident, but this time, the Letian Association has full confidence in getting rid of Zhou Yu."

Upon hearing this, the attention of everyone present turned to the Second Master.

Full confidence?

What full confidence?

Mr. Second smiled faintly.

"Since we’ve come to this, I might as well let everyone in on a little secret," he said.

"The Heavenly Master of our Letian Association, Mr. Gao, will be returning to the provincial capital this afternoon."

"Heavenly Master?"

Everyone looked puzzled.

Nobody present had heard of Heavenly Master Gao’s great reputation, except for Yang Tianpeng.

Yet, Mr. Second was arrogantly confident as he spoke:

"Heavenly Master Gao is a top-notch expert of our Letian Association, proficient in Rune Arrays and soul arts."

"What’s most formidable about him is his soul art; he has attained his way through soul art."

"His soul art can kill an expert of the Saint Realm imperceptibly, not even our Association Head can help but admire Heavenly Master Gao’s methods," he added.

Upon hearing Mr. Second’s introduction, everyone’s faces were filled with shock.

In the current world of martial arts, ninety-nine percent of martial artists either practice Body Refinement or Qi Refinement. These are the mainstream paths of martial arts.

Of course, aside from these two, there were some peculiar techniques passed down from ancient times.

These peculiar techniques were numerous.

Soul arts were one kind of those peculiar techniques.

The so-called peculiar techniques had more than ten times the difficulty in cultivation compared to martial arts, required extremely high talent, and depended on corresponding legacies.

Peculiar techniques, as the name suggested, highlighted an aspect of ’peculiarity’.

It was terrifying because no one knew what their methods were.

Nobody could imagine what it was like to cultivate a peculiar technique to the Saint Realm.

Could such people truly exist in this world?

Everyone showed signs of skepticism.

Mr. Second smiled faintly.

"You may verify Heavenly Master Gao’s strength with Special Envoy Yang," he said.

Turning to this, all eyes gathered on Yang Tianpeng.

When talking about Heavenly Master Gao, a hint of wariness flashed across Yang Tianpeng’s usually cold face.

"Indeed, Heavenly Master Gao’s strength is extraordinary. At the very least, I am no match for him," Yang Tianpeng confirmed.

"The most terrifying aspect of soul arts is the intangibility of its killing methods. Therefore, if Heavenly Master Gao makes a move, those below the Saint Realm wouldn’t even know how they died. Those above the Saint Realm might barely survive, but even if they do, they’re likely to end up either a complete fool or a walking corpse," he explained.

Hiss—

Everyone gasped in shock.

No one had expected the Letian Association to possess such a master.

The strength of the Letian Association was just too frightening.

A grave look flitted through Yang Tianpeng’s eyes.

Although he had helped introduce Heavenly Master Gao, he himself had no idea how the Letian Association came to possess such a formidable expert.

Truly, such a figure like Heavenly Master Gao, if placed in the headquarters of Punishment Hall, would be an incredible person.

Wasn’t the Letian Association single-handedly supported by the Zhao Family of the Capital City?

How could the Zhao Family of the Capital City possibly cultivate someone like Heavenly Master Gao?

Nobody noticed Yang Tianpeng’s unusual demeanor; at this moment, everyone was simply too excited.

"If that’s the case, then Zhou Yu, that young man, is doomed without question," they said.

"Indeed."

At that moment, Mr. Second knocked on the table.

"Alright, I’ve shared what needed to be disclosed," he declared.

"Now, let’s get down to business."

"Even with Heavenly Master Gao here, we must learn from the Dong Family’s lesson to prevent being defeated one by one," he advised.

"Therefore, we must elect a united leader this time. All forces must unconditionally obey unified command. If anyone disobeys openly or covertly, or flees from battle, they will face united punishment from all forces," he asserted.

As soon as Mr. Second finished speaking, the smiles on everyone’s faces vanished.

None of the attendees were naive. According to Mr. Second, whoever became this unified leader would wield significant power—a sensitive position indeed.

Who wouldn’t want to sit in that seat?
