Chapter 737: Chapter 737 Phone!

Mi Lan hastily said:

"Zong Wu is my second uncle Mi Youfu’s eldest son. When he was very young, a big figure from Hucheng took notice of him and took him to study cultivation techniques. It is said that his talent is outstanding, and a few years ago, he was already approaching the Saint Realm."

"I didn’t expect him to suddenly show up..."

Mi Lan’s face was full of self-reproach:

"I should have thought of this earlier."

"Now that Mi Youfu and the others have been suppressed and have left Haizhou, Zong Wu must be here for revenge."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu comforted her:

"Don’t worry, I will find him as soon as possible..."

Mi Lan hastily asked:

"Zhou Yu, do you have a way?"

Zhou Yu nodded.

He gently patted Mi Lan on the shoulder and said:

"You first take care of the affairs of the Mi Family. I will ask Sister Xu to send some experts to protect you."

Mi Lan obediently nodded.

"Zhou Yu, you must be careful yourself."

Zhou Yu responded with a hum and got up to leave.

He called He Xu and briefed her about the Mi Family situation, asking her to send someone to protect Mi Lan. After that, Zhou Yu went to a deserted corner.

He spread his palm open, and a cluster of True Qi appeared at the center.

Wrapped within the True Qi was the trail of black smoke left by the sniper.

Zhou Yu utilized a spirit detection technique, and soon, the wisp of black smoke drifted towards the outskirts south of the provincial city. Zhou Yu immediately activated his movement technique and pursued it.

...

Elsewhere.

In a dilapidated house in the suburbs of the provincial city.

A middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged on a clay bed, circulating his cultivation technique to recover his cultivation level, while a dark sniper rifle lay across his legs.

This sniper rifle, different from those typically equipped by the military, seemed to be made seamlessly and shimmered with a mysterious luster.

Whenever the man’s True Qi swept over its surface, a portion of the True Qi was absorbed by the rifle.

After a long while, the middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes. He stopped his cultivation, then fondled the rifle like touching a beloved woman.

A moment later, he suddenly remembered something, and a chill flashed in his eyes.

He took out a cellphone from his pocket and dialed a number.

"Brother Wu, you told me that the guy called Zhou Yu was at most at the Great Innate realm," he spoke into the phone.

"Then tell me, why couldn’t I kill him with one shot?"

On the other end of the phone was Mi Zongwu.

Mi Zongwu let out a sound of surprise.

"He’s not dead?"

"Is he seriously injured?"

The sniper snorted coldly, "No, he just blocked my bullet with his fist like that."

"Moreover, if I hadn’t reacted quickly, I would probably have been caught by him..."

"What happened?" Mi Zongwu asked in shock.

The sniper recounted the events.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

A moment later, he spoke:

"Goodness, Zhou Yu, I underestimated him."

"It seems the intelligence was wrong. His strength might have already reached the Saint Realm, or even higher."

"Hmph, there’s one thing I don’t understand— even if he truly is a high-level Saint Realm expert, he shouldn’t have been able to block my shot!"

Mi Zongwu shook his head:

"Because he practices the ’Golden Cauldron Technique’."

"This technique is acclaimed as the number one Body Refinement Technique in Qin state, but due to the lack of the latter part, it can only be practiced up to the Great Innate realm."

"And he, he goes far beyond this."

"Are you suggesting he possesses the latter part of this technique?"

Mi Zongwu shook his head:

"Not sure yet."

"Therefore, I need you to strike again."

Upon hearing this, the sniper immediately declined.

"Gui Chi never targets the same person twice."

"You know this rule."

"No amount of money will change that."

Gui Chi had lived for so many years in this line of work, seeing many top assassins die by targeting the same person twice.

Thus, he refused quite decisively.

Mi Zongwu laughed:

"Don’t worry, I won’t ask you to break your rules. The person I want you to kill is someone else."

"Oh?"

"Who?"

"A woman who knows nothing about martial arts, currently residing in the presidential suite at the top floor of the Shenhua Hotel. Leave immediately."

Mi Zongwu’s tone carried an ominous and bone-chilling murderous intent.

Zhou Yu had turned the Mi Family upside down, even driven his father away, and supported the laughable Mi Lan as the Family Head—all of which he could not tolerate.

Moreover, in the face of his warnings, Zhou Yu’s conduct was still arrogant.

Then he was going to let Zhou Yu experience what loss truly felt like.

Upon hearing this, Gui Chi fell silent for a moment before speaking:

"What about the reward for Zhou Yu’s assassination?"

"Though it failed, it wasn’t my fault. Although we know each other, business is business."

On the other end, Mi Zongwu’s face turned extremely grim.

Damn, mission failed and he still has the audacity to ask for money.

However, as he needed this man right now, it wasn’t wise to fall out with him.

"Brother Gui, isn’t that expected?"

"Rest assured, I will transfer the money to you immediately."

"Good, I’m waiting. After the transfer, I leave."

Mi Zongwu inwardly cursed a few times before having the money transferred.

After confirming the transfer, Gui Chi finally showed a satisfied smile.

"Give me the woman’s name, photo, and location."

"Her name is He Xu. You can search for her picture online. I’ll send you the location immediately."

After speaking, Mi Zongwu hung up the phone.

He searched on his phone, then his expression showed surprise.

"Hah, such a beautiful woman!"

"What a pity to kill her..."

However, just as his words fell, a cold voice rose at his ear.

"I’m afraid you won’t have that chance!"
