Chapter 122: Dragon Crossing Over? It Must Stay Put!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The group of wealthy bosses was frozen in fear. Obviously, the scene unfolding before them was completely outside of their realm of understanding.
Or to put it another way, this did not follow the rules of the market. It was simple, violent, and straightforward. If someone was stronger than you, you had to submit.
It is said that the market is like a battlefield, but when faced with a real battlefield, the difference was stark.
It was because losing on the real battlefield meant death!
The majestic Yang Chengsi, who had been in control of everything just moments ago, had now been crippled.
Even his opponent’s movements were fast as lightning, and with their untrained naked eyes, they could not even follow Wen Ziteng’s moves.
“I will definitely pa.s.s on this message!” Yang Chengsi replied, gritting his teeth.
He knew that his old enemy had climbed to a higher level, and he had no way of taking revenge with just his own power.
“That’s for the best!” Song Shijie laughed lightly.
“Then I won’t intrude on your soiree any longer. Wen Ziteng, we’re going!”
Watching his attackers arrogantly leave, Yang Chengsi struggled to his feet.
In the living room of the villa in the center of the lake, Yang Chengsi reluctantly recounted what happened.
From the Coiling Dragon Ring, Lu Xuan retrieved a porcelain flask from which he poured out an alkahestry pill. Then he handed it to Yang Chengsi, saying, “This is an alkahestry pill for healing injuries, eat it first!”
Yang Chengsi saw that Lu Xuan was completely calm and did not even seem angered by the news. He felt that it was strange, but did not dare to probe further, and hurriedly swallowed the alkahestry pill.
The alkahestry pill turned into a clear stream, spreading directly into his body.
To Yang Chengsi’s surprise, the injuries he had thought he would never recover from were actually gradually healing thanks to the healing effects of the medicine.
It must be pointed out that out of the many injuries a warrior could receive, the most problematic ones, which were nearly impossible to recover from, were injuries to the Dantian.
The reason was that Dantian was connected to the root of martial arts ability, so it was incredibly hard to heal!
He previously knew of many warriors who had their Dantian injured, and immediately lost all their martial arts ability, becoming a regular person.
Yet Lu Xuan just casually took out an alkahestry pill from a porcelain flask and was able to heal him. He was shaken to his core.
“Thank you so much, Young Master!”
Yang Chengsi was extremely moved. He sensed that not only was his injury recovering rapidly, his strength was also almost imperceptibly growing. This was really a blessing in disguise.
This alkahestry pill for healing injuries was like the consolidation pill and was produced personally by Lu Xuan. Over this length of time, Lu Xuan had been successively buying medicinal ingredients off of the Dark Web, and this pill he created was called the Yuanyang pill.
For Cultivators at the current time, no matter what kind of injuries they had sustained, even if they were breathing their last, the pill could bring them back from the brink of death. If this were released to the public, it would be worth a fortune, and countless people would be fighting over it.
Lu Xuan did not have a lot of them, only holding on to about twenty pills, and it was just that he did not normally need to take them. This time, Yang Chengsi ultimately suffered this grievous wound for his sake, so he could not possibly stand by without helping.
Indeed, he was sure that the enemy should be coming straight for him.
In truth, it was not too difficult to guess that.
From Yang Chengsi’s retelling of the incident, Lu Xuan was able to determine that their enemy knew of his existence.
Furthermore, they were not afraid of his reputation and had come with the specific purpose of looking for him.
For many people, Mister Lu was an extremely mysterious character who rarely showed himself, so his ident.i.ty was unclear and unknown.
However, to people who really wanted to know who he was, it was not difficult to find out.
“You said his name was Song Shijie?” Lu Xuan asked.
“That’s right. He identified himself as Song Shijie. Could it be that the Young Master knows him?” Yang Chengsi hurriedly asked.
“You could say that. But he doesn’t know me at this time!”
Lu Xuan rubbed his chin as he had already figured out who was really pulling the strings behind all this.
Luo Ying!
In his past life, Luo Ying was on good terms with Song Shijie. Hence, during that time, Lu Xuan actually knew Song Shijie.
However, at the time, Song Shijie was one of Luo Ying’s suitors, so Lu Xuan’s relationship with him was strained, and conflict had often erupted between them.
Later on, when Lu Xuan discovered Luo Ying’s real motives and completely made an enemy of the Luo family, Song Shijie had also once joined the Luo family in pursuing him.
He could add this new slight on to his old grudges!
The Holy Dragon Corporation backing Song Shijie was also a big deal and was a hidden sect sealed away by Liu Bowen in the past, the Holy Dragon Syndicate.
Like the Taichu Group, the Holy Dragon Corporation was composed of many different families, among which the Song family was one of the families who held authoritative power within the Holy Dragon Corporation.
At this point in time, Lu Xuan should have yet to meet Song Shijie, but he still came looking for him by name to cause trouble. Clearly, Luo Ying was the instigator behind this.
He had to quickly kill this meddling woman.
He had asked Yang Chengsi to keep tabs on the Luo family’s activity, but it seemed like ever since conflict had erupted between them and Lu Xuan, the Luo family’s power had diminished, and they had left Min Province.
As for things outside the people’s day to day life, it was not something that Yang Chengsi could keep track of. After all, the abilities of his Coalition of the Woods were limited.
“Young Master, what shall we do? This Holy Dragon Corporation can’t be underestimated. I have already got my people to do an investigation, and the strength of the Holy Dragon Corporation stretches across the entire country, with even some significant influence across the globe!” Yang Chengsi reported. “I’ve also received information that they are going to hold a dinner party in three days, formally beginning their invasion into Min Province!”
“A dinner party in three days?” Lu Xuan sneered coldly. “They think I’m going to stand by and do nothing after they hurt my men? Min Province is my turf. Do they think they can cross over like a dragon? Even a dragon must stay put before me, and even a tiger must lay low!”
He had already been recognized by many as the top dog of Min Province. And now, the Holy Dragon Corporation expects him to surrender to them when they stick their foot in?
That was impossible. If it were that easy, he would not be Lu Xuan!
“But the Holy Dragon Corporation is very powerful!” Yang Chengsi was still slightly worried. If he were in Lu Xuan’s position, he would probably be so frightened that he would drop everything and escape abroad.
“So what if their faction is powerful? We are Cultivators, and at the end of the day, all that matters is our strength!” Lu Xuan remarked impa.s.sively. “When he got Wen Ziteng to cripple your martial arts, did he care about the strength of your organization, your companies, or your subordinates?”
Yang Chengsi quickly recognized the truth in his words. It was not a logic he did not understand. Even so, he was a regular person who was still scared of the Holy Dragon Corporation.
However, Lu Xuan was different. In his past life, he had uprooted the Holy Dragon Syndicate, so what was the measly Holy Dragon Corporation, the subordinates of the Holy Dragon Syndicate, to him.
He could not care less about this Holy Dragon Corporation. Moreover, the Song family was just one of the families within the Holy Dragon Corporation that held power.
“Relax. In three days, I’ll personally take revenge for you!”
Lu Xuan simply patted Yang Chengsi on his shoulder.
“Thank you very much, Young Master!” Yang Chengsi hurriedly replied. He had chosen the right man to serve, as he did not have to worry about being casually thrown aside by Lu Xuan.
