Chapter 759: Chapter 759: Employing Various Schemes!

Just as Zhou Yu was preparing the medicinal bath, Lin Luoluo started feeling anxious inside.

After all, she already knew that her grandfather and his company were currently in danger.

Now, all she could rely on was Zhou Yu.

But Zhou Yu, this blockhead, hadn’t come looking for her the whole day.

Lin Luoluo was getting impatient.

At this moment, Ye Ling noticed Lin Luoluo’s anxiety and said with a chuckle,

"What’s wrong?"

"Anxious?"

"I told you earlier not to get angry with him. Now see, you’re the one who’s suffering."

Lin Luoluo said somewhat angrily:

"Xiao Ling, if you keep making such unsympathetic comments, I’ll stop talking to you."

"Alright, alright, I get it, I’m scared of you. How about this, I’ll help you find Zhou Yu."

"I’ll talk to him properly."

Lin Luoluo nodded her head.

Ye Ling walked out of the bedroom and went to Zhou Yu’s room.

Upon entering, she discovered that Zhou Yu’s room was filled with hundreds of boxes, and the mixed scents of various herbs were so strong it was almost unbearable.

Ye Ling frowned and covered her nose.

"Huh?"

"Zhou Yu, what are you doing? Why have you turned your room into this state?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said,

"I’m preparing to take a bath. What’s the matter?"

"At this time, why did you suddenly think of taking a bath?"

"Luoluo is almost dying of worry."

Ye Ling explained Lin Luoluo’s concerns.

Zhou Yu chuckled,

"I’m preparing this medicinal bath to save someone."

"Don’t worry, once I’ve finished the bath, I will go looking for people."

Ye Ling nodded, half-understanding.

"Okay then, I’ll tell her."

Having said that, she left, and Zhou Yu took off his clothes and jumped into the bathtub.

...

Elsewhere.

Li Zerui, Zhu Hongsheng, and Hou Guangshou had split into multiple teams and ventured deep into the southern Wutai mountain area to start searching for the Bai family’s whereabouts using various methods.

At the moment, Li Zerui and Gu Hongcai were in a dense forest.

Li Zerui was using a satellite phone to make a call, and after a short while, he just hung up.

Gu Hongcai who was standing by, asked:

"Young Master Li, who were you just speaking to?"

Li Zerui said,

"The people I arranged to stay at the hotel. I’ve left some people there to keep an eye on Zhou Yu."

"He is still at the hotel."

When Li Zerui spoke of Zhou Yu, his eyes were filled with hatred.

He had already made a deal with Zhu Hongsheng, but unexpectedly, Zhu Hongsheng also failed to deal with Zhou Yu.

He couldn’t blame Zhu Hongsheng, because the intervention of Ye Mengyun was something no one could have anticipated.

If Ye Mengyun firmly protected Zhou Yu, then there really was nothing he could do to Zhou Yu.

Now, all his hopes rested on Zhou Yu entering the Wutai mountain area. As long as Zhou Yu dared to come, he would make sure Zhou Yu could never leave.

Li Zerui said,

"Gu Lao, if Zhou Yu enters here, are you confident you can kill him?"

A murderous intent flickered in Gu Hongcai’s eyes.

"Of course."

"If it hadn’t been for Hou Guangshou’s interference last time, I would have killed him already."

Li Zerui nodded and said,

"Good, I will have people continuously monitor Zhou Yu’s movements. As long as he dares to come, at that time, I will have to trouble you, Gu Lao."

"No problem."

Gu Hongcai nodded, then looked around the surroundings once more before speaking,

"Nevertheless, we need to find the people from the Bai Family first."

"But in this vast mountain, where do we start looking?" Li Zerui said, his expression dark.

Gu Hongcai chuckled.

"Young Master Li, don’t worry, Elder Jin has a way."

"Right, where is Elder Jin?"

"He went to fetch something. With that item, we’ll be able to locate the Bai Family members very soon."

As soon as Gu Hongcai finished speaking, he saw a figure flickering in the distance, and then, Jin Yidao appeared in front of the two men.

Li Zerui’s spirit lifted.

"Elder Jin."

Jin Yidao nodded and then took out a brocade box from his chest, opening it carefully.

Inside the brocade box lay an exquisitely crafted talisman.

"What is this?" Li Zerui asked curiously.

Jin Yidao smiled and said,

"This object was rushed over by the chairman’s envoy. It’s called the ’Soul Searching Talisman’."

"It is engraved with the Formation of the Taoist art of soul searching inside. With it, as long as we are within a certain range, we can lock onto the position of the Bai Family members."

As he spoke, Jin Yidao activated the talisman. Soon, the talisman started twinkling with spiritual light and then floated above everyone’s heads.

Jin Yidao watched the floating talisman and said,

"Now, we just need to search around. Once the talisman reacts, it will mean the Bai Family members are nearby."

Li Zerui showed an excited expression.

"That’s great."

"With it, we are bound to find the Bai Family members first."

Jin Yidao shook his head and said,

"Not necessarily. All the forces that have entered the mountain this time won’t come empty-handed. They surely have made preparations, so we must not slack off."

...

Meanwhile, in another part of the Nanshan Mountain region,

Zhu Hongsheng was leading Hong Ligui and another of the Zhu Family’s ten great retainers, an elder named Zhen An, through the mountains.

Zhen An was an old man nearing the age of seventy.

Based purely on his outward appearance, he seemed unremarkable, the kind you would lose in a crowd.

Only when one stood in front of him could they feel the overwhelming, formidable aura radiating from his body.

Although he appeared old, he had a compelling presence that made him seem not like an old man but like a weapon that had claimed countless lives.

"Elder An, this isn’t the way to go about it. We’ve been searching for a day and a night without any results," Zhu Hongsheng said, his expression somber.

Hong Ligui also turned his gaze towards Zhen An.

"Elder An, perhaps it’s time to use that item."

Zhen An pondered for a moment, then nodded. He reached into the cloth bag he carried and pulled out a worn compass.

Seeing this item, Zhu Hongsheng quickly asked,

"Elder An, is this the treasure the Family Head gave you?"

Zhen An nodded.

"This object is called the Root-Finding Compass, specifically used for seeking people and items. Sadly, it’s severely damaged and won’t last for many uses."

"Never mind that, let’s use it once to pin down a rough location."

As he said this, Zhen An started to work his magic, placing a marble-sized stone into the worn compass. Soon, the compass emitted a scattering of starlight, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark mountains.

After a moment, the compass needle pointed southwest.

Zhen An confirmed the direction, then put away the compass quickly, saying,

"Notify the others. Head southwest, spread out in a fan-shaped search pattern."

"Yes."

While they walked, Hong Ligui with a dark look said,

"That kid Zhou Yu, where could he be now?"

"He caused me to lose a God Explosion Pill; it’s infuriating."

Hearing the name ’Zhou Yu,’ Zhu Hongsheng was also unable to restrain his anger.

"Retainer Hong, there’s no need to be angry. I’ve inquired last night. Someone close to Ye Mengyun said that the Ye Family wouldn’t get involved with the Bai Family’s affairs, and Ye Mengyun wouldn’t enter the mountain either."

"This means that as long as that kid dares to come into the mountain, even if we kill him, Ye Mengyun wouldn’t interfere."

"That would be for the best. Otherwise, I really couldn’t swallow this grievance," Hong Ligui said with burning anger.

"But what if he doesn’t come into the mountain?"

Zhu Hongsheng sneered.

"He will definitely come. His fiancée is the granddaughter of Old Master Bai, and if I’m not mistaken, his fiancée is here because of Old Master Bai."
