Chapter 374: Chapter 361 The Fall of the Ying Family (2/3)_2

Thinking of Han Yiyao and her niece Han Yulian both naked and serving him, Zhou Heng couldn’t help a ripple of excitement in his heart, silently chiding himself for his excessive tastes, yet filled with anticipation.

After returning to the Zhao Family, he ordered people to confiscate the Ying Family’s property.

The Ying Family had inherited wealth and treasures for tens of thousands of years; their foundation was undoubtedly immensely solid. He wasn’t worried about the Mei Family or the Bai Family intervening—having seen his strength, Mei Songtao and Bai Yushi would surely strictly forbid their people from coveting anything if they weren’t foolish.

He visited Ying Mengfan’s room. After all, she was a member of the Ying Family, which he had almost wiped out, and he felt he must tell her himself.

"Meng Fan!" Zhou Heng embraced the Imperial Capital’s number one beauty from behind, kissing her delicate neck.

"What’s with you, acting like a child, it’s so ticklish!" Ying Mengfan laughed heartily, the breath Zhou Heng sprayed on her neck tickled her.

"I’ve leveled the Ying Family!" Zhou Heng paused, then still decided to speak up.

Ying Mengfan suddenly tensed up, her body stiffening.

Zhou Heng said nothing, simply waiting quietly.

"Actually, to me, most of the Ying Family are strangers!" It was a while before Ying Mengfan slowly began to speak, "But there were a few who were kind to me, like Aunt Fang, Aunt Lin, Aunt Ma! And some childhood companions, though their faces have now faded from my memory!"

"It’s just as well, from now on, I have nothing to do with the Ying Family!"

She turned around, and two clear tears streamed from her eyes, clearly her heart was not as calm as she claimed.

To Zhou Heng, the Ying Family were all enemies, but to Ying Mengfan, even if she had left indelible shadows there, the only person she truly detested was Ying Cheng’en.

What she needed now was to vent.

...

The Zhao Family members were all extremely enthusiastic about stripping the Ying Family’s fortune.

Both the Zhao Family and the Ying Family had produced a genius, and the debate over who was superior between Zhao Duotian and Ying Cheng’en had raged for over a decade without conclusion, turning the two families into sworn enemies.

Now, before Zhao Duotian and Ying Cheng’en could determine who was better, Zhou Heng had already annihilated the Ying Family!

Annihilated them completely!

The people from the Zhao Family who returned from the confiscation were full of awe for Zhou Heng. A single person had exterminated an entire clan, from top to bottom, including Nascent Soul Realm experts like Ying Tianyin. How powerful was that?

On the third day, Black Donkey suddenly came looking for Zhou Heng, wanting to "strike it rich" by exploring the Wind Howl Forest.

"Zhou, I can swear on my chest that there’s definitely a huge treasure hidden there, maybe even an Immortal Object!" The donkey’s eyes shone as it looked at Zhou Heng, and the deity above its head had also taken the form of a black donkey, albeit much smaller.

Just one step away from the Nascent Soul Realm, this donkey was a Monster Level being.

"Wind Howl Forest?" Zhou Heng paused for a moment. Jing Tian’s Bloodline Power had evolved to Heavenly Spirit Body after venturing there, and it seemed he had also obtained some powerful legacy.

But if that legacy had already been taken by Jing Tian, was there still a need to go to Wind Howl Forest?

"Trust me, you won’t be deceived! My character is impeccable, do you doubt that?" Black Donkey thumped its chest with a hoof.

"Since when does a donkey have character!" Zhou Heng sighed. This donkey’s character was unreliable, let alone its donkey-ness.

"Woof, Zhou, don’t slander me!" Black Donkey opened its mouth wide and snapped at him.

This despicable donkey vehemently assured that there was an incredible treasure in Wind Howl Forest, sensing disturbances from at least tens of thousands of miles away, indicating some Ancient rarity was about to emerge. Zhou Heng was also curious about what secrets such a place that even Nascent Soul Realm ancestors dared not delve into held. He ultimately agreed to accompany Black Donkey on this adventure.

Considering the donkey’s greed and stinginess, Wind Howl Forest must hold great dangers; otherwise, the donkey would have gone to dig up the treasure on its own without caring for Zhou Heng.

A day later, Zhou Heng went to visit Bai Yushi.

This elder of the Bai Family was a Supreme Expert from Bright Moon Country who had entered Wind Howl Forest. Zhou Heng sought to ask him about the dangers he had encountered there.

Bai Yushi was very polite to him, understandably so since Zhou Heng was exceedingly fierce, having subdued a Nascent Soul Realm ancestor as if he were an Ancient Ferocious Beast. They had to avoid antagonizing him at all costs, even if they couldn’t be friends.

He spoke of a vast sea deep in Wind Howl Forest that blocked the path, its waters filled with Evil Force, emitting deathly aura, anyone attempting to fly over it would be violently knocked down.

Fortunately, he had been cautious at the time and hadn’t been flying fast; after travelling only about thirty feet, he fell down. The invading evil qi instantly corroded his legs, and it took over half a year of recuperation to heal.

That was only because he wasn’t far from the shore; had he gone another several dozen feet, he might never have returned to land.

That marked the end of his journey into the Wind Howl Forest. He couldn’t provide Zhou Heng with more information—the basics aligned with Black Donkey’s account, except that Black Donkey, not yet in the Nascent Soul Realm, didn’t even dare to attempt crossing the sea.

The despicable donkey was incredibly fearful of death.

Zhou Heng took his leave, but before he could leave the Bai Family’s residence, he encountered Bai Feiyu, someone desperately clinging to him because of his connections. Thanks to Zhou Heng, this wastrel had gained considerable influence among the Imperial Capital’s young nobles.
