Chapter 53: The He Family Mansion, Calculated Against

~8 min read 1,595 words

Upon hearing Chen Yusheng's words, the middle-aged man's pupils constricted slightly, yet his face revealed not a hint of anything unusual.

"I know, I know." He nodded hurriedly, "I can take you to the He Family, I only ask that after you finish dealing with the He Family's affairs, you can spare my life."

Hearing this, Chen Yusheng nodded: "As long as you cooperate obediently, I will not touch you."

"Yes, I will definitely cooperate!" The middle-aged man responded without delay.

"By the way, what is your name?" Chen Yusheng asked casually.

The middle-aged man's pupils constricted sharply once more, then he immediately replied: "My name is Zhou Yunhai."

Chen Yusheng noted the name and beckoned to Xiao Jiu: "Xiao Jiu, come here, let's carry him and fly together."

His Light Body Technique could not help others reduce their weight, so it was still somewhat difficult for him to carry someone else while flying alone.

However, if Xiao Jiu were added to the mix, that would no longer be a problem.

Xiao Jiu immediately stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Yunhai's other arm.

"Wait a moment!" Zhou Yunhai suddenly spoke up.

Seeing Chen Yusheng look over, he hurriedly said: "Can I make a phone call to my family?"

"Why make a phone call?" Chen Yusheng frowned.

"I'm not sure if you will spare me in the end, so I want to say a few words to my family. In case I don't survive, this will be the last call." A look of sorrow appeared on Zhou Yunhai's face.

Chen Yusheng frowned, feeling that this person was a bit strange; even at a time like this, he was still preoccupied with making a phone call.

Facing Chen Yusheng's frown, Zhou Yunhai simply looked at Chen Yusheng with a face full of pleading.

Chen Yusheng thought for a moment and nodded: "Fine, go ahead, be quick, don't waste time."

Zhou Yunhai immediately took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number, saved under the name "Xuejian".

The call was connected quickly, and a woman's voice came through: "Master~"

"Xuejian, it's me, listen, what I'm about to say is very important..." Zhou Yunhai spoke at an extremely fast pace, "I am currently being controlled by someone and might not survive. Take our son and leave the Base immediately. I know you have always loved him, take him and live well."

After finishing, without waiting for a response from the other side, he hung up the phone directly.

Before Chen Yusheng could speak, Zhou Yunhai hurriedly said: "Chen Hai, the call is finished, I will take you to the He Family now."

Chen Yusheng nodded, and together with Xiao Jiu, they carried him and flew rapidly in one direction.

"Over there, do you see that villa? That is one of the He Family's strongholds." Zhou Yunhai pointed to a villa in an area on the edge of the Base.

Chen Yusheng didn't think much of it and flew straight over with Xiao Jiu.

But upon reaching the sky above the villa, Chen Yusheng frowned: "There is no one here at all, are you sure this is the He Family?"

"This is one of the He Family's several strongholds, I also know their other few strongholds." Zhou Yunhai explained hurriedly.

"Continue leading the way." Chen Yusheng said coldly.

Next, Zhou Yunhai took them to several buildings on the north side of the Base, but they were still empty inside.

"Are you really leading me to find the He Family? Could it be that you yourself are a member of the He Family?" After two consecutive empty trips, Chen Yusheng's expression darkened.

Zhou Yunhai waved his hands hurriedly: "How is that possible! Perhaps the He Family members knew you were coming for revenge and hid in advance." He paused and added, "Let's go to the next place, perhaps the main targets are right there. Believe me this time, that is already the He Family's last stronghold."

Chen Yusheng hesitated for a moment and decided to trust him one more time.

Not long after, Zhou Yunhai brought them to a small manor. The plaque at the entrance clearly bore the four characters "He Family Mansion", and there were clear signs of activity within the manor.

"This is also the He Family's territory, the He Family members must all be inside." Zhou Yunhai said.

Chen Yusheng immediately instructed Xiao Jiu: "Xiao Jiu, use your Spiritual Power to scan and see how many people are inside."

Xiao Jiu followed the order and soon replied: "A total of 37 people."

The three of them hovered in mid-air, and the people in the manor did not notice them at all.

Seeing this situation, Chen Yusheng looked at the middle-aged man with cold eyes.

"Why didn't you bring me here at the start? Were you stalling to buy time for the He Family members to escape?"

"I didn't, I swear, Chen Hai, if you don't believe me, let me down, I will help you kill all the He Family members, I only ask that you spare my life." Zhou Yunhai pleaded hurriedly.

Hearing this, Chen Yusheng thought for a moment and nodded: "Fine, go ahead."

Afterward, he released his grip and let Zhou Yunhai down. However, what Zhou Yunhai did not notice was that Chen Yusheng had planted a Spiritual Power mark on him; no matter where he ran, Chen Yusheng would be able to track him down.

Chen Yusheng hovered above Zhou Yunhai's head, his Golden Light Incantation maintained at all times, and a Yin-Yang Lightning Technique was already condensed in his hand, ready to strike at any moment.

He wanted to see what kind of tricks this Zhou Yunhai was playing.

After landing, Zhou Yunhai first tore off a piece of cloth to cover his face, then without another word, he rushed straight into the manor and began killing everyone he saw.

Seeing the middle-aged man slaughtering the people inside the manor, Chen Yusheng was somewhat surprised; he had thought Zhou Yunhai was a member of the He Family and had been stalling for time on purpose.

Unexpectedly, he was actually killing the He Family members?

The middle-aged man's speed was extremely fast, and his abilities were unusually powerful.

He saw a few people hiding in a house and threw a fireball directly; the fireball crashed into the window and exploded instantly.

The next moment, the entire house was blown to pieces, with power comparable to a bomb.

Yet, such a powerful ability had not even been able to break through Chen Yusheng's Golden Light Incantation earlier, which was enough to show how terrifying Chen Yusheng's defense was.

Under Zhou Yunhai's frantic attack, the people in the manor had no power to resist and were soon slaughtered in large numbers.

"Something is wrong."

Watching Zhou Yunhai kill with ease, Chen Yusheng always felt something was off.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Xiao Jiu looked at him in confusion.

"It's too strange, there isn't a single Ability User among these people. I heard the He Family head is an Ability User; these ones who died are likely just ordinary people of the He Family, the real main targets are not here." Chen Yusheng frowned slightly.

Just then, Xiao Jiu's expression changed drastically: "Brother, no! That person is trying to run!"

"What?" Chen Yusheng didn't react for a moment.

"It's that Zhou Yunhai! He entered a room, and there is a tunnel inside, he escaped through the tunnel!" Xiao Jiu said urgently.

Chen Yusheng's heart tightened, and he immediately flew toward the room where Zhou Yunhai had disappeared.

Just a moment ago, he had thought Zhou Yunhai was searching for and killing the He Family's stragglers, but he hadn't expected that he was actually looking for a chance to escape.

Rushing into the room, Chen Yusheng unleashed his Spiritual Power and, sure enough, discovered the entrance to a tunnel.

However, the tunnel entrance was already tightly sealed by a massive boulder at this moment.

"This Zhou Yunhai is very likely a member of the He Family." Chen Yusheng finally confirmed at this moment that Zhou Yunhai had been acting with him the whole time.

But it didn't matter; he had already placed a tracking mark on him, so he could not escape.

However, after Chen Yusheng broke through to the Condensing Origin Realm, he felt that he was still a bit carried away and somewhat too careless.

Without hesitation, he immediately circulated his Tuxieshufa to begin softening the boulder, while simultaneously drawing his long sword to quickly cut at the stone door.

"You think you can escape like this? Naive."

If Chen Yusheng could let the middle-aged man get away, then he might as well give up on immortal cultivation.

The other party simply did not know the power of an immortal cultivator.

"Brother, watch out!"

Xiao Jiu suddenly let out a cry of alarm, and the next moment, she lunged toward him and grabbed Chen Yusheng in a hug.

Almost simultaneously.

Boom!!!

A deafening explosion erupted, and a violent force swept over instantly.

Chen Yusheng only had time to use the Golden Light Incantation to protect himself and Xiao Jiu, and then he felt intense pain all over his body, as if he had been struck hard by a heavy hammer; his internal organs were churning, and then he and Xiao Jiu were sent flying by the immense force.

The next moment, inside the manor, a mushroom cloud rose rapidly.

【Begging for monthly tickets, is there anyone out there? Begging for tickets, ah ah ah ah ah!】
