Chapter 260: Chapter 191: Madness
“Moreover, I want you to use whatever means necessary to find the villain who killed Yu’er.”
“I will not rest until he is tortured to death and his body is torn into ten thousand pieces!”
The old woman gritted her teeth as she spoke.
Her tone was chillingly cold, making one’s heart feel cold upon hearing it.
“Mother!” Zheng Family Master hesitated upon hearing this, “Since that person dared to oppose Seven Killings Tower, his identity and background must also be extraordinary. If we investigate further…”
However, before he could finish, the old woman looked at him with an icy gaze, “So, we should just let go of Yu’er’s vengeance, is that it?”
...
Zheng Family Master hesitated, swallowing his saliva before saying, “…My child did not mean that, but he believes we should consider this matter in the long term.”
“Consider in the long term? It seems to me you wish to drag this matter out, preferably until after my death, right?” Old Lady Zheng scoffed.
“My child dares not!”
Zheng Family Master shuddered and quickly bowed his head.
“Hmph! Only you know what you are really thinking. Now, I want to know if this dying old woman can still be the head of the Zheng Family?”
“Mother is the pillar of our family, holding up the entire Zheng Family. Naturally, you are in charge.”
“If I can still be in charge of the Zheng Family, then you simply do as I say. I don’t care what the cost is, but before the seventh day of Yu’er’s passing, you must find that man’s whereabouts.
I don’t care who he is or how powerful his background is!
I will personally take his head and place it in front of Yu’er’s tomb to appease his spirit in heaven!”
Observing his mother’s fierce and fearsome demeanor, Zheng Family Master knew that any objection was futile.
He could only lower his voice and ply, “Yes, your child will handle it immediately.”
Watching Zheng Family Master’s defeated silhouette receding, Old Lady Zheng’s face remained indifferent, her aura of killing intent was chillingly dense, lingering long and unyielding.
The hall was deadly silent, with no one daring to make a move, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Even that middle-aged beautiful woman was dripping in cold sweat, with her back entirely soaked.
Outside the Zheng Mansion, two miles away in another colossal mansion, in a study, an elegant elderly man was leisurely writing when suddenly his expression shifted, and his wrist trembled slightly, causing the ink-drenched brush to drop a blot of ink on the paper.
“The old lady of the Zheng Family is going crazy again?”
The elegant elderly man set down his brush, thought for a moment, and signaled for a servant, “Go, call the family head here.”
Soon, a middle-aged man dressed in a robe, bearing a slight resemblance to the elderly man, hurriedly arrived at the courtyard.
“Grandfather, you called for me?”
“Just now, I sensed a terrifying killing intent suddenly emanating from that old lady of the Zheng Family. I don’t know what she’s planning to do now, but you should go and check.”
“The old ancestor of the Zheng Family?” The middle-aged man was startled, “Who would dare to provoke her? Are they tired of living?”
“That’s why I’m asking you to check. This old woman’s time is running out, she doesn’t have many years left, and if she goes mad at this time, no one can stop her.”
“Yes, I will go and check now.”
The middle-aged man hurriedly left.
Since that old lady of the Zheng Family had been severely injured years ago and believed she did not have many years left to live, she had bee someone no one in the State Mansion dared provoke.
After all, an Innate Realm with only a few years left to live, if she truly went mad, who could withstand her?
After his grandson left, the elegant elderly man leaned back, looking at the slightly brightening sky in the distance, his emotions fluctuating.
Now was a turbulent time, with dark currents surging beneath the surface.
As an Innate Realm Martial Artist, he also had an innate intuition that something extremely important was about to happen.
At such a time, that old lady of the Zheng Family better not go mad.
An hour later, the middle-aged man returned with an extremely peculiar expression on his face.
He seemed a bit shocked but also a bit schadenfreude.
“Did you find out?” The elegant elderly man asked indifferently.
“I found out, but…”
“But what?”
“According to the spy’s information returned from the mansion, that Second Young Master of the Zheng Family was killed last night in a brothel outside the city. Even his head was blown apart. The Zheng Family’s Ancestor is furious over this matter and has already killed several guards.”
The middle-aged man reported.
“Second Young Master of the Zheng Family, is that the posthumous child of the late Zheng Family’s Boss?” The elegant elderly man asked.
“That’s him, named Zheng Yu, deeply doted on by the Zheng Family’s Ancestor, and usually very overbearing in the State Mansion. It’s unexpected that he would venture out of the city and get slaughtered!” The middle-aged man’s face bore a hint of schadenfreude.
“No wonder that old lady went mad,” the elegant elderly man nodded, “That Zheng Family Boss had indeed a peerless talent. At not yet thirty, he had reached the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, with a bright future ahead. He was expected to achieve the Innate Realm before the age of forty, potentially being our Cang State’s youngest Innate Realm.
However, unexpected fame at a young age, and a pathway of cultivation that was too smooth, is sometimes an ordeal.
The Zheng Family Boss, being the youngest Martial Arts Grandmaster in Cang State at that time, was arrogant and thought very highly of himself, not holding the few Innate Realms in the State Mansion in high regard.
Because of the presence of the Old Lady Zheng and the restrictive mand of Holy Mountain, we few didn’t take it too much to heart, which only made him more placent.
More than twenty years ago, a mysterious Innate Realm arrived in Cang State with his female disciple to travel.
When the Zheng Family Boss went out for recreation, he saw that the female disciple was extraordinarily beautiful and started harboring lustful thoughts to abduct her to his mansion as a concubine.
Of course, this enraged the Innate Realm, and he killed the Zheng Family Boss on the spot.
