Chapter 336 - The Excited Lu Wuchang
Chapter 336: The Excited Lu Wuchang
The middle-aged man stiffened.
That’s right.
Gourmand would only appear to capture a certain person once the person was targeted.
There was clearly something wrong with Yu Qianlou’s earlier disappearance.
“…”
The middle-aged man opened his mouth and finally said, “Elder Jiang is right. He had his eyes on Little Lou. Little Lou’s constitution is a little special.”
Special constitution?
Transcendent body martial artist? Bloodline martial artist?
The middle-aged man did not elaborate, and Su Jingxing did not probe further.
Yu Qianlou was targeted, kidnapped, and then fell into the river. Something must have happened in between.
However, since the middle-aged man didn’t say anything, Su Jingxing, an outsider, naturally couldn’t get to the bottom of it. He wasn’t interested either.
He had unintentionally learned about the existence of the Gourmand organization and got to know the symbol of its members.
Together with 10 billion Great Yu dollars and three blood spirit weapons, he had gained a lot from this trip.
…
He did not stay in the Jade Sword Sect for long.
Soon, Su Jingxing bade farewell and left.
It would take time to transfer 10 billion Great Yu dollars.
As with the transportation of the three blood spirit weapons.
Su Jingxing wasn’t in a hurry.
Returning to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, he unlocked the cards he had extracted. He categorized and put away the cards that he needed to do so with and kept the ones he needed as backup.
After the fat chef was killed with a single punch, the card he extracted was a Skill Card.
It contained a martial art called the Pulse Sealing Mantra.
This martial art could seal a person’s tendons, blood and Qi, dantian, and even Martial Art True Intent.
It was very unique in terms of technique. Even an ordinary person would be able to exert strength as long as they grasped the trick within.
Su Jingxing thought that it looked good. He unlocked a few Martial Arts Practice Cards and spent 13 years practicing the Pulse Sealing Mantra to the Peak of Perfection!
…
Fulong Prefecture.
Feilai City.
In a spacious underground chamber.
Hundreds of men, women, elderly, and children in white chef’s uniforms and chef hats gathered in one space.
“Everyone!”
In the center of the secret chamber, a tall man wearing a silver mask raised his hands and shouted.
“Comrades, the opportunity we’ve been waiting for has finally arrived!
“Golden Mask has sent us exciting news. All the ingredients for the Holy Banquet have been gathered just a moment ago!”
Woohoo!
Cheers and shouts erupted in the underground space.
Hundreds of men, women, elderly, and children were shouting excitedly.
“Everyone!”
After the commotion subsided a little, the silver-masked man spoke again. “My fellow comrades, there’s another piece of good news. Copper Mask has finally deduced the best time and place to cook the Holy Banquet after seven days and seven nights.
“It’s tomorrow evening, at sunset. The location is Changyang Prefecture, Green Cloud Mountain!”
Woohoo!
Cheers and shouts resounded through the underground space again.
The crowd was shouting excitedly, almost malevolently.
“My fellow comrades!”
The silver-masked man also raised his voice to the maximum at the right time and shouted excitedly, “The Holy Banquet is about to begin. The day we ascend to the heavens is right in front of us. At this time, I don’t want, nor would I allow any accidents to happen to anyone.
“Let’s not talk about anything else. In short, you can set off now. Let’s go to Changyang Prefecture, Green Cloud Mountain!”
“Green Cloud Mountain!”
“Green Cloud Mountain!”
…
The crowd cheered loudly.
More than half an hour later, peace was restored in the secret underground chamber. More than a hundred people of all ages had left.
The silver-masked man was left behind. He waved at a short and fat young man and asked calmly, “What were you about to say?”
“Emissary, we just received the latest news. The preparations the ingredients from the Yu Family have failed,” said the pudgy young man respectfully.
“Failed?”
The silver-masked man’s voice was calm, and his expression could not be seen through the mask.
“What about the reserves?”
“We still have the reserves,” replied the pudgy young man.
“Since the reserves are still there, let’s stick to the plan,” said the silver-masked man calmly.
“Yes!”
The pudgy young man nodded.
He left the secret underground chamber and came to another underground space.
It was an underground cell divided into parts, with many prisoners.
After the short and fat young man entered, he raised a token in his hand and shouted, “The envoy has ordered us to immediately bring the ‘ingredients’ and set off for Changyang Prefecture, Green Cloud Mountain!”
“Yes!”
In the cell, the guards responded in unison.
“Come out, all of you, we can set off now.”
“Don’t cry, sister. You’ll be free soon.”
“Have some candy, kid. Mm, these sweets are for you too. You can go on your way after you finish them.”
…
The guards opened the cells and brought the prisoners outside one by one, either by grabbing, pushing, or lifting.
The white-haired Lu Wuchang and Su Yao were two of them.
When he was roughly pushed out by the guards, Lu Wuchang shouted, “What are you doing? Why are we going to Green Cloud Mountain? What exactly do you want!”
Pa!
The guard slapped Lu Wuchang, causing him to fall forward and almost fall to the ground.
“What are you shouting for?”
The fat-faced guard sneered and said, “Why are we going to Green Cloud Mountain? Of course it’s to arrange to send you people on your way! Alright, cut the crap and keep up.”
“I’m not going, I’m not going anywhere!”
Lu Wuchang laid on the ground and struggled with all his might. “Kill me if you have the guts. Otherwise, I’m not going anywhere!”
“Sigh, if it weren’t for your good cultivation, do you think you would have survived until now?”
The fat-faced guard shouted coldly, “You don’t want to go? Do you think you’re still the famous Young Master Lu? No, you’re just a prisoner now!”
“Knock him out and drag him out!”
Two tall and burly men walked over when they heard the order. With a thud, they knocked Lu Wuchang out. Then, they each held one leg and dragged him out like a dead dog.
Throughout the entire process, no one saw the joy that flashed through Lu Wuchang’s eyes as he clamored. When he was knocked out, he did not forget to look towards Su Yao and quickly give her a look.
Green Cloud Mountain!
These people were actually bringing them to Green Cloud Mountain!
Lu Wuchang, who had already given up, was extremely excited when he heard this.
It was precisely because he was excited that he shouted and made a din to hide his excitement.
A new turn had appeared after a difficult path.
In the end, they were actually heading to Green Cloud Mountain again. If Lu Wuchang had not fainted, he might have laughed out loud.
Su Yao was the same, filled with joy.
At this point, she had no choice but to believe Lu Wuchang.
They would be saved once they went to Green Cloud Mountain.
They would be saved once they went to Green Cloud Mountain!
…
Green Cloud Mountain.
As soon as the identity of the Dragon Seeking Envoy was put into the records and fully verified,
Su Jingxing immediately set off for Green Cloud Mountain and arrived at the northern peak again.
Sitting cross-legged on the top of the mountain, he silently circulated the Six Comets Records to confirm that he had the nation’s fate on him and was connected to the “thread” that he had never been able to touch.
The moment he successfully captured it, he circulated the Emperor Chu’s Jade Book.
Fate, fate, the fate of the nation.
It was invisible, formless, and colorless, but it was a mysterious and profound power that really existed.
Through the Emperor Chu’s Jade Book, Su Jingxing tried twice and successfully mobilized it.
Except…
“This thread nation’s fate seems to be a little messy?”
