Chapter 290: Chapter 0290: Reverting to Youth

"You little shit, what kind of game are..."

Little Huzi was just about to spit out a taunt, but before he could utter the final word, he felt his neck tighten and his whole body lifted off the ground.

His face turned red, his mouth wide open, but all he could emit was an "ah—" like a duck being choked, looking particularly ridiculous.

"Senior brother!"

The few standing at the entrance immediately yelled out anxiously, their eyes showing a mixture of shock and fear as they looked at Chu Ge.

They hadn’t even had time to react, feeling only a blur in front of them, then upon focusing, they saw their sect brother being lifted by the collar by this absurdly young-looking boy!

"You rotten brat, let go right now!"

A bald man roared, his look fierce and threatening, yet he dared not take a step forward.

"You... you dare lay hands on me? Think it through, this is Tang Sect’s territory!" Little Huzi was scrambling at Chu Ge’s hands, expending all his strength just to squeeze out those words.

"Tang Sect’s territory?" Chu Ge muttered.

Little Huzi thought he was scared and immediately felt elated.

"Crack—"

A light snap, and everyone froze.

"You... you... you..." Bald Man, looking at Little Huzi with his head bent backward, turned as pale as paper, his eyes flickering with terror.

He never imagined this young man would be so decisively murderous; even after blurting out the name of the Tang Sect, it didn’t make him back away but instead directly cost his senior brother’s life!

"What are you?" Chu Ge flicked his wrist, and the corpse of Little Huzi slammed right in front of Bald Man: "Go back and tell your Sect Leader that Huo Tianqian’s folks have come to Su City to find him! They want an explanation."

Bald Man’s eyes widened. Honestly, with Tang Sect’s backing, he’d gotten used to being arrogant in Su City. Who wouldn’t treat him with the utmost respect? Even members of the Tang and Shen Families would treat them with courtesy!

Yet now he encountered someone even more arrogant than himself but found himself completely outmatched. After all, this situation was beyond anyone’s strength, and Little Huzi, at the Postnatal Middle Stage, hadn’t even survived a single breath against this man – the opponent must at least be at the level of Postnatal Perfection!

"I’ll give you ten more seconds. If you’re still here after that, I guarantee, that Little Huzi won’t be the last one dead!"

Chu Ge suddenly shifted his gaze towards the doorway, his eyes carried an unmistakably icy murderous intent.

The men at the door shivered in unison, exchanged glances, and ran downstairs, holding the corpse of Little Huzi, with one even daring not to take the stairs, jumping directly over the railing.

"Hmph, a bunch of trash." Chu Ge watched the scattering disciples of Tang Sect and snorted coldly.

Truth be told, not only were those people shocked by his move just now, but Huo Tianqian also regarded Chu Ge with immense respect, carefully speaking behind him: "Mr. Chu, there are still Innate ones in their sect, we can’t afford to be careless!"

"I understand." Chu Ge nodded.

The lion uses its full strength even to catch a rabbit, let alone him, who was fighting across levels. Chu Ge’s audacity stemmed from two reasons.

The first was to put pressure on the Tang Family!

Although the Tang Family was not as powerful as the Four Great Families of Shanghai, they were still a local tyrant in Su City. If they decided not to help Chu Ge, even the Four Great Families would have no say.

This action was to show the Tang Family that he was not someone to be taken lightly, someone who acted without reservations!

As for the second, it was because Chu Ge decided to break through to the Innate Realm right here in Su City. Advancing to Innate required not only enough Spiritual Energy but also a fiercely satisfying battle.

"It’s getting late; you should go back and rest. There’s still more to do tomorrow." Chu Ge turned to glance at Huo Tianqian and spoke indifferently.

"Yeah, okay!" Huo Tianqian nodded, walked out of the room, and then carefully closed the door.

Watching Huo Tianqian leave the room, Chu Ge was silent for a while, then dialed Mr. Ouyang’s number.

Naturally, it was about the invitation to Old Master Tang’s birthday banquet. Sure enough, Mr. Ouyang said it was no problem, someone would be dispatched now, and it would arrive by tomorrow.

After exchanging a few pleasantries and inquiring about Jinxiu Group’s situation, Chu Ge hung up the phone and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window with a glass of red wine in hand.

From the eighth floor of the hotel, he could see most of the cityscape below, and as he gazed upon the brightly lit Su City, Chu Ge took a light sip of the wine, his lips curling into an almost imperceptible smile.

"Heh, Tang Family, Shen Family, Tang Sect? I hope you can give me a surprise!"

In contrast to Chu Ge’s leisure at the hotel, the atmosphere in a particular Tang Sect building was unbearably tense.

The previously mentioned Bald Man was now kneeling on the ground, in front of him a stretcher bearing Little Huzi’s body.

A middle-aged man in Tang costume paced back and forth in front of the body, while Bald Man kept his head lower and lower, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, even dampening the ground in front of him.

After a long while, a voice devoid of any emotion spoke up in the room: "So you’re saying, a group of you led by one at the Postnatal Middle Stage went to capture a cripple, and not only did you fail to bring him back, you even let the other side kill one of you?"

Hearing the Tang costume man’s words, Bald Man trembled, stuttering: "No... Not a cripple, Huo Tianqian had a young man with him. My senior brother was killed before he could even resist. I suspect... I suspect he was a Postnatal Perfection expert, or even possibly an Innate Grandmaster!"

"An Innate Grandmaster?" The man in the Tang costume slightly narrowed his eyes, a chill flashing through them: "How old is the other party?"

"Seems to be in his early twenties," replied Bald Man after recalling.

"Early twenties?" The Tang costume man’s eyes bulged, and he roared: "Are you fucking kidding me? A twenty-something Innate Grandmaster, who would believe that if you said it out loud?"

"I... I..." Bald Man stuttered, suddenly recalling Chu Ge’s eyes filled with brutal murderous intent, his body involuntarily shivering as he said: "But, but his eyes had such intense murderousness, it didn’t seem like something a twenty-something-year-old would possess."

"Hm?"

The Tang costume man seemed to realize something, nodding and saying: "That makes more sense. In the entire Martial Arts World, although I’ve never heard of anyone who could revert their aging, it’s rather easy to make oneself appear younger. I guess that’s what the guy is doing."
