Chapter 558: Chapter 558: Go Kill!

Apart from the Tang Family.

Tang Zhong was getting ready to set off for the Valley of Hidden Swords with Hu Shan.

Originally, Tang Zhong would have no way of knowing the whereabouts of the Valley of Hidden Swords, but since the Valley was about to host a grand Sword Dao conference, it would certainly reveal its location. Given that, the trip had now become a cakewalk.

Taking a coach, it only took half a day to reach Lin City, where Tang Zhong finally saw the so-called Heroic Invitation. It disclosed the address of the Valley of Hidden Swords, named Hidden Sword Mountain, located a hundred miles from Lin City—hardly far at all.

He was then all set to depart for the Valley of Hidden Swords.

This time, not only did Tang Zhong have to rescue Fang Susu, but he also needed to uncover the mysterious truth about the Valley of Hidden Swords—why Elder Wu had insisted on taking him there in the first place.

Hu Shan now served as the major steward of the Fang Family, managing their finances. Although Fang Dezheng had died prior, the wealth was at least still there.

As soon as it was heard that they were heading to the Valley of Hidden Swords, they quickly gained support in the form of a second-hand Jeep. It wasn’t any known brand and looked quite simple, but going to the Valley of Hidden Swords meant traveling mountain roads, which ordinary cars just couldn’t handle.

And reaching Hidden Sword Mountain entailed traveling a hundred miles from DY City; soon, they were almost out of fuel.

Hu Shan drove directly to the gas station.

But to their surprise, they found more than a dozen cars lined up at the gas station, all there to refuel, and each vehicle bore different license plates. For instance, Tang Zhong’s car had plates starting with the character "Hang", while those around him had plates starting with "Su", "Lu", and so forth. Moreover, the surrounding cars were all luxury models—not just Maseratis and Audis, but also a few limited-edition models whose names were not immediately recognizable.

"Mr. Tang, there are too many cars ahead!" Hu Shan said.

"Wait!" Tang Zhong said.

"Yes!" Hu Shan answered, then pulled the car to a stop.

DY City was a small town, but now it was flooded with so many luxury cars, most likely heading to the Sword Dao conference!

Tang Zhong began to meditate and replenish his spirit in the car.

However, at that moment, a flurry of aggressive horn blasts came from behind them.

The person behind them was laying on the horn.

Beep beep beep!

They saw a black sedan behind Tang Zhong’s car, with a young man inside who was furiously honking the horn.

In the car, there was an old man and a young girl. The old man was dressed in traditional attire, looking to be in his fifties, and the girl next to him appeared to be only around sixteen, dressed almost like a fairy—wearing a white short-sleeve top and suspender pants, with pale skin. Despite her young age, she had a notable bust, and an aura that set her apart from everyone else. If one looked carefully, they would notice that this girl radiated the presence of a martial artist.

"Why are there so many people today?" the young driver looked at the line of cars ahead of him.

"Hidden Sword Mountain is holding a Sword Dao conference, which will naturally attract many," the old man in traditional attire said.

"Grandfather, is Hidden Sword Mountain really that amazing? And big sister, such a martial arts genius, is it really okay to entrust her to Hidden Sword Mountain?" the young man continued to ask.

"Zhong Tao, we’re about to reach Hidden Sword Mountain, so I won’t allow you to express any doubts about it for now, understand!" the old man said gravely.

Upon hearing this, the young man’s expression shifted slightly, and he quickly responded, "Yes, grandfather, you’re right in correcting me!"

"Do you realize that if you speak ill of Hidden Sword Mountain there, and someone of importance hears it, our Zhong Family could be finished? Even though we’re wealthy tycoons from the south, in face of Hidden Sword Mountain, we are nothing!" the old man in traditional attire said.

"Perhaps in the eyes of an ordinary tycoon, I, Zhong Tianyue, might be considered a formidable figure, but do you know? In the eyes of many, I amount to nothing. You remember Shen Sanwan from the south who managed to climb his way up to Xuanjing City? Didn’t you once ask me why he could go to Xuanjing City and our Zhong Family could not? That’s because that Shen Sanwan employs a lot of martial artists!" the old man in traditional attire explained.

"No wonder!" Zhong Tao said.

"The janitors within Hidden Sword Mountain are more skilled than any martial artist Shen Sanwan has. What ground do you have to doubt Hidden Sword Mountain? And if your sister, Zhong Ya, becomes an apprentice to the great master of Hidden Sword Mountain, then in the future, who in the south would dare contend with our Zhong Family?" Zhong Tianyue, the elderly man, said with a smile.

The young Zhong Tao’s eyes widened as if he saw the rising prospects of the Zhong Family.

The girl, who had been silent all this time, was named Zhong Ya, sitting there without a word.

About Hidden Sword Mountain, she had no clue what it held; she only knew she had a promising future in martial arts, and her grandfather always told her she was destined to revive the entire Zhong Family.

But at this moment, the refueling at the gas station was really too slow.

Zhong Tao grew impatient, and suddenly he spotted the shabby Jeep ahead. He narrowed his eyes, thinking that this person surely wasn’t heading to the Sword Dao event. A martial artist, not exceedingly rich but at least not extremely destitute, would likely be just an ordinary person from DY city.

Zhong Tao immediately turned to the elder behind him, Zhong Tianyue, and said, "Grandfather, I’ll step out for a moment. The person ahead probably isn’t going to Hidden Sword Mountain. I’ll ask him to line up behind us!"

"Go ahead, the sooner we get to Hidden Sword Mountain, the better!" Zhong Tianyue said.

"Okay!" Zhong Tao got straight out of the car and walked over to Tang Zhong’s Jeep, beginning to knock on the door.

Tang Zhong sat inside, motionless, while Hu Shan saw Zhong Tao and rolled down the window: "What do you want?"

Zhong Tao looked at Hu Shan, dressed like a mountain farmer, then at Tang Zhong in the back, who was just a kid. He guessed they were probably from some small county town and, puffing himself up, took out his business card: "I’m Zhong Tao from the Zhong Corporation. I want to discuss something with you. We have urgent business at Hidden Sword Mountain, so let’s switch places in line. After all, you’re just refueling, and it doesn’t matter when you do it!"

But when Hu Shan heard this, he turned to glance at Tang Zhong behind him, seeing that Tang Zhong still had his eyes closed.

Knowing what to do, Hu Shan looked at Zhong Tao and said, "Sorry, we’re not switching."

Zhong Tao frowned. He had to heed his grandfather Zhong Tianyue’s words that it was better to reach Hidden Sword Mountain earlier rather than later, but he quickly figured he could solve the issue with money. He promptly pulled out a thick stack of red bills: "I’m buying your spot with this money. I haven’t counted it, but it should be around a hundred thousand or so. Take the money and move behind us. I haven’t counted it, but it should be enough to buy your spot!"

He believed that once money was involved, the other party would definitely compromise.

"We can’t take your money," Hu Shan said. "Because we’re also going to Hidden Sword Mountain!"

"What are you going to Hidden Sword Mountain for? Sightseeing? Forget about it. Look, I wasn’t talking to you; I was talking to the person behind you!" Zhong Tao said to Hu Shan, and then, holding up the money, he threw it directly at Tang Zhong in the backseat: "Hey, kid, take the money. Stop playing games, and get moving!"

Hu Shan felt somewhat embarrassed: "Mr. Tang!"

Tang Zhong still did not move.

Zhong Tao could no longer contain himself and took out a check, signing it right there: "This is one million. Take it and go to Zhong Corporation in the south to collect it!"

He refused to believe these two would remain here any longer.

But just then, Tang Zhong opened his eyes and looked at Zhong Tao next to him.

The moment Zhong Tao was seen by Tang Zhong, he felt as though a wild beast had set its sights on him, his entire body uncomfortable.

"What... what are you looking at me like that for?" Zhong Tao said.

"Take your money and get lost!" Tang Zhong said coldly.

"You... what nonsense are you talking about? I’m from the Zhong Family!" Zhong Tao said, his face turning ugly.

"I’ll count to three!" Tang Zhong said coldly.

"Three..."

Zhong Tao’s expression suddenly darkened, the aura released by the other party must belong to a martial artist. He hadn’t expected this person to be a martial artist.

However, considering his age, he was probably just a young martial artist. But as an ordinary person, Zhong Tao dared not confront a martial artist.

So he blurted out, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Two..." Tang Zhong said.

"Let me tell you, my sister is about to become a disciple of the Master of Valley of Hidden Swords. Our trip to the valley is precisely for that purpose of apprenticeship!" Zhong Tao said this to intimidate Tang Zhong, smugly confident that the disciple of the Master of the Valley of Hidden Swords would surely scare this guy witless.

"One... If you’re going to pay respects to a master, you might as well head back the way you came!" Tang Zhong continued.

"Why? And what are you going to Hidden Sword Valley for?" Zhong Tao asked, baffled. He was convinced that his sister’s talent would definitely catch the Master’s eye and secure her as a disciple.

"To kill someone," Tang Zhong said with a light smile.

"What?" Zhong Tao’s eyes widened in shock upon hearing this.
