463: Chapter 463: Dealing with the Dong Family!
“Ancient!
Ancient One!!!”
Dong Mingcheng collapsed to the ground in terror.
His face was filled with panic and horror.
It was the existence of the Ancient One that had enabled the Dong Family to rank among the top three families of the provincial city’s seven major clans.
Now that the Ancient One was dead, Dong Mingcheng could not imagine what would beco of the Dong Family.
At this mont, Zhou Yu strode toward Dong Rui.
Though Dong Rui was not paralyzed by fear, he was nearly unable to walk from it.
He seed to realize what Zhou Yu was about to do.
He let out a terrified plea for help.
“Uncle, Uncle, save …
”
Right then and there, he deeply regretted provoking Lv Fang—if only he hadn’t.
Seeing that Zhou Yu had already reached him,
Dong Rui knelt down:
“Mr.
Zhou, Mr.
Zhou, I was wrong, I really was.
Spare , and I’ll do anything you ask.”
Zhou Yu’s face was indifferent.
“No need, just be more careful in your next life.”
Having said that, Zhou Yu slapped down with his palm.
Dong Rui’s head tilted, and he died instantly, his breath ceasing.
Zhou Yu had co to the Dong Family to deter the other families who had united against him—a deterrent was not effective without bloodshed.
Seeing his nephew killed, Dong Mingcheng did not dare make a sound.
The rest of the Dong Family were all terrified out of their wits, looking at Zhou Yu with eyes full of fear.
Just then, Zhou Yu walked toward Dong Mingcheng.
Dong Mingcheng kept retreating in fear.
“Zhou…
What…
what are you going to do?”
Just as Zhou Yu was about to act, suddenly a voice rang out.
“Wait a mont.”
A white-haired elder walked out slowly from the villa.
“Elder Wen?”
Zhou Yu recognized the man, who, along with Dong Rui, had initially planned to take Shui Tianyue back to the provincial city, only to be stopped by him.
Zhou Yu had even sparred with Elder Wen.
The deepest impression Zhou Yu had of this elder was the sense of compassion engrained in him.
Now, Elder Wen approached Zhou Yu with a complex expression on his face.
“I didn’t expect that in just a few months, young friend’s strength and influence would have changed so drastically.”
“I am ashad to ask, but I would like to implore you to spare Dong Mingcheng.
If young friend is not satisfied, I am willing to die in his place.”
Zhou Yu slightly frowned.
“Elder Wen, is it worth dying for such a person?”
Elder Wen smiled bitterly:
“Though he is your enemy, he has shown great respect.
Moreover, his grandfather once saved my life; I can’t just stand by and watch the Dong Family be destroyed.”
Zhou Yu pondered for a mont, then spoke:
“Since the elder pleads for him, I will give the elder so face.”
“However, although the death penalty can be spared, the living will not escape punishnt.”
As his voice fell, Zhou Yu lifted his hand and slapped it onto Dong Mingcheng’s body.
“Ah—”
Dong Mingcheng let out a terrible scream and passed out.
Zhou Yu’s palm had destroyed the ridians of his limbs.
From that point on, he would be nothing more than a cripple.
Elder Wen clearly knew what Zhou Yu had done, but Dong Mingcheng’s life had ultimately been saved.
Elder Wen was full of gratitude.
“Thank you, young friend.”
“Proceed.”
Zhou Yu shook his head:
“I hold great respect for the elder’s character; naturally, I won’t kill you.”
“However, the matter of the Dong Family cannot just end like this.”
“I want the Dong Family to give up sixty percent of their shares and transfer them to Shui Tianyue.”
Shui Tianyue had been raised by the late great-grandfather of the Dong Family.
Before his death, the old patriarch had thought highly of Shui Tianyue, but his sudden demise turned Shui Tianyue into a sacrificial pawn in the power struggles for the Family Head position.
Now that Zhou Yu was going to thoroughly deal with the Dong Family, he naturally wanted to restore Shui Tianyue’s rightful status.
Elder Wen had no objections to this.
The old patriarch’s attitude toward Shui Tianyue was sothing he understood all too well.
He sighed and said:
“Such is fate, I suppose.”
“What is yours will not escape you, and what is not yours cannot be forced.”
“Dong Mingcheng, in his desire to beco the Family Head, committed many wrongs.
Now, it seems they have all been repaid.”
“Young friend, rest assured, I’ll have soone take care of this imdiately.”
“Hmm.”
Zhou Yu nodded his head.
Then he added sothing else.
“I also need so Spiritual dicine.
Have the Dong Family send all their Spiritual dicine to the Zhao Family.
I’ll pick it up from there later.”
“Okay.”
After arranging these matters, Zhou Yu left with Yan Maozong and Yang Shiwu.
The incident at the Dong Family once again deepened Yan Maozong and Yang Shiwu’s understanding of Zhou Yu.
Both n were profoundly impressed by Zhou Yu’s actions.
This young man’s maturity was far beyond their imagination.
“Zhou Yu, is there anything else we need to do?”
Yan Maozong asked.
Zhou Yu’s eyes narrowed, a cold light flashing within them.
“Qiu Baiwan is not dead yet.”
“If he were to recover, he could beco quite troubleso in the future.”
Qiu Baiwan was the deputy head of Qin State’s Martial Hall.
If he were to nurse a vendetta and seek revenge, Zhou Yu, himself, was not afraid.
However, he feared that Qiu might target those close to him instead, and that was sothing truly difficult to guard against.
Yang Shiwu was taken aback.
“Zhou Yu, do you an…
you want to go to the Martial Hall?”
Zhou Yu nodded.
“Exactly.
To see things through to the end, to send the Buddha all the way to the west, I am going to see him off.”
“This…
”
Yang Shiwu hesitated.
“Is it really a good idea?”
“After all, the Martial Hall is an official institution, and it oversees all the martial artists in the world.
It’s one thing to make a show of force in the Dong Family, but causing trouble at the Martial Hall is an entirely different matter.”
Yan Maozong also nodded.
“Indeed, we should be cautious with this matter.”
Zhou Yu smiled faintly.
“Elder Yang, Elder Yan, don’t worry, I have a plan, and this ti, you don’t have to lift a finger.”
“However, I will need both of you to cover for later on.
I plan to…”
Zhou Yu laid out his plan, and after hearing it, both Yan Maozong and Yang Shiwu’s eyes lit up.
They looked at each other and then nodded in agreent.
“Alright.”
The three of them then headed straight for the Martial Hall.
