Rural Doctor Enters the City: Whoever Touches My Wife, I’ll Take Them Down!
Chapter 513: Zhao Zhinian!

Chapter 513: Chapter 513: Zhao Zhinian!

While Zhou Yu was dealing with the affairs of the Huan Yu Group, a bigwig arrived on the martial arts stage.

At this time, inside the conference room of the martial arts pavilion.

A middle-aged man sat in the middle of the sofa, his face calm yet somehow compelling and impossible to ignore.

Seated there, he was like a mountain, making everyone around feel suffocated.

He was the dignitary sent by the Capital City’s Zhao Family, Zhao Zhinian.

By Zhao Zhinian’s side was another man of about the same age.

This person had a cold demeanor, with eyes closed and a powerful aura emanating from his body, his skin shimmering with a metallic luster.

Just by appearance alone, one could tell he was a Body Refinement expert.

His name was Iron Reverence.

Iron Reverence was a master cultivated with great care by the Capital City’s Zhao Family, skilled in horizontal training. Even masters of the Saint Realm rarely managed to penetrate his defense.

In front of Zhao Zhinian sat Zhao Songqing, Yang Tianpeng, and others.

Facing Zhao Zhinian, even Yang Tianpeng, the special envoy from the Punishment Hall, was extremely polite.

"Zhinian Brother, you must have come all the way from the Capital City to deal with Zhou Yu," Yang Tianpeng said.

"When shall we strike?"

"We all follow Zhinian Brother’s orders."

Zhao Zhinian’s face remained indifferent.

"That Zhou Yu kid is not worth me making a trip personally."

"Dealing with him is just a matter of convenience."

"This time, I have more important matters in Qin State."

Zhao Songqing was also stunned.

Even he thought that Zhao Zhinian had come specifically to deal with Zhou Yu.

He hurriedly asked,

"Uncle, what could be more important than that matter?"

Zhao Zhinian gave Zhao Songqing a glare.

"Songqing, what did I tell you before you left? Have you forgotten?"

Zhao Songqing jumped, quickly replying,

"No, I haven’t forgotten."

"You told me to uphold the Zhao Family’s honor and authority, which I have been doing, but that Zhou Yu..."

"Shut your mouth."

Zhao Zhinian continued, "That Zhou Yu, what waves could he possibly cause on his own? Yet do you realize how much reputational damage the betrayal of Tianhu Commercial Alliance has caused to our Zhao Family?"

Bei Yong of the Tianhu Commercial Alliance was actually brought up by Zhao Zhinian himself.

Although the Tianhu Commercial Alliance wasn’t large and never gained much attention from the Zhao Family, their switch to Zhou Yu’s side was no small matter.

This was an issue of the Zhao Family’s face.

In places like the Capital City, where face is paramount, the Zhao Family couldn’t tolerate even a grain of sand in their eyes.

Zhao Zhinian’s words left everyone in shock.

Nobody expected that the betrayal of the seemingly insignificant Tianhu Commercial Alliance would be Zhao Zhinian’s primary concern.

As for Zhou Yu, he was utterly disregarded.

This scene was all too familiar. Once upon a time, they viewed Zhou Yu in the same light, yet now look at what had become of them.

Yang Tianpeng promptly advised with measured tones.

"Zhinian Brother, I think the Tianhu Commercial Alliance isn’t worth fussing over. If you like, I can have the martial arts pavilion handle them on your behalf."

"The real trouble lies with this Zhou Yu. Zhinian Brother, please do not underestimate him."

"Heavenly Master Jin Dingtian had such a renown, yet he underestimated Zhou Yu, and ended up dying at his hands, becoming a stepping stone in Zhou Yu’s rise to fame."

Zhao Zhinian’s face was full of disdain.

"Is that Heavenly Master Jin Dingtian even worthy to compare with my Zhao Family?"

"Special Envoy Yang, by all rights, these words should not come from you."

"Bring someone like Jin Dingtian to the Capital City and see. There are plenty of young people there who could cut him down."

"Let alone the venerable ones by my side, they are all specialists in refining their physical bodies. In front of the venerable ones, Jin Dingtian is a joke."

In his speech, Zhao Zhinian plainly didn’t take Heavenly Master Jin Dingtian seriously, and even less so Zhou Yu.

Seeing that Zhao Zhinian still didn’t take Zhou Yu seriously, Yang Tianpeng became anxious.

"Zhinian Brother, I too come from the Capital City, and I’m well aware of what you’re saying."

"But this Zhou Yu kid is truly no ordinary person. Even I’m not certain I could take him down quickly."

Zhao Zhinian’s eyebrows shot up.

"Special Envoy Yang, you exaggerate. I heard he’s merely an Innate-level cultivator."

"That’s exactly where he’s formidable."

"Besides, he has several helpers at the Saint Realm level. If they work together, it becomes a significant force. This is why we have been unable to get the better of this kid."

Upon hearing Yang Tianpeng’s words, Zhao Zhinian still looked contemptuous.

"Merely chickens and dogs."

"Zhinian Brother..."

"Alright, Special Envoy Yang, I see your concern. You think my Zhao Family’s strength isn’t sufficient, don’t you?"

"Let’s do this. Venerable Iron, spar with Special Envoy Yang and show him your strength."

Iron Reverence slowly opened his eyes, which were dead calm like still ponds.

He nodded, then took a step forward, approaching Yang Tianpeng.

Without speaking, it was clear to anyone that he didn’t regard Yang Tianpeng seriously.

Yang Tianpeng too was in haste.

He stood up at once and said,

"Fine, let me test the Venerable Iron’s strength."

"Venerable Iron, please make your move."

Venerable Iron said indifferently,

"There’s no need. I’ll just stand here. You can strike at will."

This statement enraged Yang Tianpeng, who was, after all, a Saint Realm master. Iron Reverence dared to look down on him so much.

He didn’t bother with more talk and directly channeled his energy, launching a full-power punch.

Iron Reverence indeed did not dodge or evade, letting the punch land squarely on his chest.

Clang!

A dull metallic sound echoed.

Yang Tianpeng was shaken back several steps, his face flushed, his arm numb and drooping.

Shock filled his face.

This man’s strength was formidable indeed!!!

Iron Reverence glanced at him impassively.

"My thanks for the bout," he said.

After speaking, he turned and stepped back.

Zhao Zhinian smiled,

"Now, what do you think, Special Envoy Yang?"

At this moment, Yang Tianpeng’s face was a picture of excitement.

Zhao Zhinian hadn’t exaggerated. With Iron Reverence’s defense, he couldn’t even shake him, and Zhou Yu would be even less likely.

"Good, with Venerable Iron’s strength so formidable, that kid Zhou Yu is definitely no match."

Just then, a disciple of the martial arts pavilion ran in.

"Special Envoy, sir, a person outside claims to be from the State Administration Department, named Ji Chunming, and he requests an audience with Mr. Zhao."
