406: Chapter 406: Yang Shiwu’s Request!
Zhou Yu’s brow furrowed as he turned his head.
At the entrance of the great hall, unbeknownst to anyone, the figure of an elderly man with grizzled hair had appeared.
Less than thirty ters apart, Zhou Yu had actually failed to detect this person’s presence.
A Saint Realm master!
Zhou Yu determined this at once.
This was indeed a true Saint Realm master.
Just then, Sun Ling, who was beside him, imdiately knelt on the ground.
“Hall Master!”
Xie Changlin’s face turned ashen in an instant, his body trembling, full of fear.
“Hall… Hall Master…”
Zhou Yu’s eyes narrowed.
Was this person the Head of the Shenwu Hall?
At that mont, the elderly man with grizzled hair walked in.
“I am Yang Shiwu.”
“Wen Shizhou is the son of an old friend of mine, so I would ask that Young Master Zhou show so leniency.”
With these words, everyone was stunned.
Zhou Yu had put the Shenwu Hall in such a position, and Yang Shiwu, being the Head of the Hall, was actually speaking so politely to Zhou Yu?
This was completely at odds with the legendary behavior of the Head of the Shenwu Hall.
Zhou Yu said indifferently:
“The things he has done have crossed my bottom line, and he must pay the price.”
Yang Shiwu nodded.
“From this mont on, I can strip him of his position as Elder and have Xie Changlin take his place.”
“Would you accept this condition in exchange for sparing his life?”
Wen Shizhou, Sun Ling, including Xie Changlin—everyone was dumbfounded.
The Hall Master not only compromised but also took such a huge step back; it was utterly inconceivable.
It felt like a dream to everyone.
Zhou Yu’s gaze beca more intense as he stared at Yang Shiwu.
This Hall Master, had he directly attacked, would not have surprised him in the least.
But such a move made it difficult for Zhou Yu to sever ties.
He silently cast “Divine Touch” and discreetly probed toward Yang Shiwu.
“Divine Touch” did not act upon the other party directly like Divine Sense or the Primordial Spirit but sensed changes in the surrounding aura, including heartbeat and breathing-induced changes in the atmosphere, to detect the opponent’s condition.
This thod of probing was very discreet, and Yang Shiwu did not notice it.
After a brief mont, a glint flashed in Zhou Yu’s eyes.
So that was it.
Zhou Yu understood.
He smiled lightly.
“Since Head Yang is being so courteous, I won’t be overly aggressive.”
“However, although the death penalty can be avoided, the living penalty cannot be waived.”
As soon as Zhou Yu’s voice fell, he struck with a palm.
Wen Shizhou let out a miserable scream as the sound of snapping ridians ca from his body.
Zhou Yu had directly crippled Wen Shizhou’s cultivation.
Yang Shiwu’s expression changed, but then he sighed and said nothing more.
Wen Shizhou, covered in blood, looked extrely pitiable, continuously wailing while looking towards Yang Shiwu.
“Hall Master… why…”
“Why… why is this happening?”
Wen Shizhou could never have imagined that Yang Shiwu would stand by and watch him be crippled.
Sun Ling felt the sa way.
At this ti, Zhou Yu said with a light smile:
“The reason is simple.”
“Because your Hall Master has been injured, his strength cannot be fully utilized, otherwise, he would not have been so polite.”
Just as Wen Shizhou was crippled, and Yang Shiwu rely sighed a bit, Zhou Yu’s words shocked Yang Shiwu profoundly.
He hadn’t expected Zhou Yu to notice that he was injured.
“Zhou Yu, I have investigated you and know that your martial arts cultivation is extraordinary, calling you the number one youth of Qin state is no exaggeration.”
“But so also say that you possess peerless dical skills, on par with the three Saint Physicians.”
“I did not believe this.
How could soone of your age be so proficient in both the paths of dicine and martial arts?”
“But now, it seems, I have been sowhat blind.”
As he said this, a flicker of excitent crossed Yang Shiwu’s eyes.
“Now, I finally understand why Yan Maozong ca forward for you when you challenged the Liu Family.
I’m not wrong in assuming it was you who healed his injuries, was it?”
Zhou Yu did not deny it.
“Correct.”
Yang Shiwu said excitedly.
“Young Master Zhou, then perhaps you could also heal , I ask you to take action!”
Zhou Yu, however, outright refused.
“Impossible!”
Yang Shiwu was taken aback.
“Why?”
“If I cure you and you seek to kill afterward, what should I do?”
“This…”
Yang Shiwu chuckled bitterly.
“Young Master Zhou worries too much.
There was never any enmity between you and my Shenwu Hall, everything was due to Wen Shizhou, and now that he has been crippled by you, we are even.
Why should I offend a once-in-a-generation genius like you?”
“Moreover, not to ntion my current injury, even in my pri, Young Master Zhou might not necessarily fear .”
Zhou Yu’s eyebrows rose.
This old man truly had sharp eyes.
“If Young Master Zhou can really heal my injuries, I promise that my Shenwu Hall will never impose on you.”
“I highly value promises.”
At this mont, Xie Changlin spoke up.
“Mr.
Zhou, I can attest to that on behalf of the Hall Master; he indeed takes his promises very seriously.”
Yang Shiwu was montarily stunned, not expecting Xie Changlin to speak in his favor at this critical juncture.
Zhou Yu nodded and said:
“Healing you is not impossible, but there’s a condition you must first answer.”
“Please ask, Young Master Zhou.”
“Why did Shenwu Hall target Qin Lan?”
