Chapter 1141: You Really Are Meddlesome

Chen Yu walked over slowly, and he asked Li Zhangjun indifferently, "Is this your older brother?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Chen, please save me." Li Zhangjun was trembling with fear; he had truly just escaped death.

"Who are you? Why are you meddling in other people's business?" Li Zhangan stared coldly at Chen Yu.

"I am actually not meddling in other people's business. I cannot interfere in matters between you brothers, but my girlfriend accidentally took on your inheritance case and was hunted down by you," Chen Yu said. "I came here today just to resolve her problem."

"Your girlfriend is Ning Ruoxue?" Li Zhangan laughed. "You can't blame anyone else for this; you can only blame her for being blind. Not every case is one she can take."

"I am talking to you seriously now, and I hope you can listen seriously," Chen Yu glanced at him and said. "I will have her withdraw from this case, and you brothers can resolve your own grievances. I won't interfere. Does that work for you?"

"No, Mr. Chen, you promised to protect me." Li Zhangjun was scared out of his wits; his biggest trump card right now was Chen Yu.

If Chen Yu really stopped now, he truly wouldn't know what to do.

"Heh, who do you think you are? Since she has gotten involved in this matter, I must resolve it. Want to quit now? It's too late," Li Zhangan sneered.

"What are you afraid of?" Chen Yu glanced at Li Zhangjun. "I said that because I knew he couldn't possibly agree to my request."

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Chen." Li Zhangjun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Honestly, I really don't want to interfere in the affairs between you brothers, but since you are so unappreciative, don't blame me for being impolite to you," Chen Yu smiled.

"Do you know who I am?" Li Zhangan sneered. "As the head of a mercenary group, would I be afraid of your threats? Believe it or not, I will kill your whole family..."

Slap... Just as Li Zhangan finished speaking, Chen Yu swung a slap across. With a crisp sound, Li Zhangan's body jolted violently, and then he fell and flew away like a kite with a broken string.

Pfft... A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed from his mouth. He lay on the ground, trying to struggle to stand up, but after trying several times, he remained top-heavy and then fell heavily to the ground.

"You dare..." Li Zhangan's face was covered in blood. He looked at Chen Yu in fury and roared, "Men? Where have all the men died? Come out and finish him."

As the head of a mercenary group, it was impossible for him to go out alone; he had already deployed heavy forces outside early on.

But he called out several times, and no one ever came out. His expression changed; he knew something was wrong.

"Don't waste your energy. Those so-called Mercenary Kings of yours are nothing to me," Chen Yu said with a cold laugh. "Your mistake was that you shouldn't have touched my people. In your next life, keep your eyes open; don't be like you were in this life."

"What exactly are you?" Li Zhangan panicked. He was strong, but the people he brought weren't cowards either. Yet, these people had been dealt with by Chen Yu in such an inexplicable way. Just how strong was this Chen Yu?

Unfortunately, he realized it too late. Now that Chen Yu was already in front of him, even if he wanted to flee, he had no chance to do so.

"An ordinary person." Chen Yu raised an eyebrow.

"We can talk. If you let me go, I will pretend this never happened." Li Zhangan was indeed someone who had come out of turbulent situations abroad; even in this situation, he could still maintain a calm expression.

"I gave you a chance just now, but unfortunately, you didn't want it," Chen Yu smiled. "I generally don't give a second chance to those who reject me, so I advise you: next time you offend someone, keep your eyes open."

Li Zhangan's eyes were wide open; he was dead as could be. Li Zhangjun stood to the side, trembling. He feared Chen Yu to his very core. Just now, he hadn't seen Chen Yu move, nor had he seen Chen Yu make any motion, yet his boss had just collapsed straight onto the ground like that.

"The matter is resolved. You can rest easy from now on," Chen Yu said to Li Zhangjun indifferently.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for saving my life. I have nothing to repay you with. If Mr. Chen fancies my small fortune, you can take it at any time," Li Zhangjun said respectfully.

"I really don't have my eyes on your little bit of money," Chen Yu said with a cold laugh. "However, I do have a few unpleasant but honest words. I don't know if you are willing to listen."

"Please speak, Mr. Chen. I will certainly listen with respect." Li Zhangjun quickly straightened his attitude and looked at Chen Yu with a serious face.

"The things you possess are not something an ordinary person like you can control. Although I don't know what the so-called secret of immortality in your father's inheritance is, back then, the team that went to explore almost all perished in that place."

"So I think there must be something extraordinary in that cave. If I were you, I would use this as a bargaining chip to find someone with solid strength and trade it for benefits. That could ensure you a lifetime of worry-free living."

"This..." Li Zhangjun's expression changed slightly; he looked pained.

This thing involved the secret of immortality. To be honest, he wasn't short of money now, but human life was ultimately limited.

If he could really find the secret of immortality from this will, it would be a rare and fortunate thing for him. Now, asking him to give it up, he was somewhat reluctant.

"Of course, this is just my suggestion. Whether you follow it or not is up to you." Seeing his expression, Chen Yu knew he was reluctant to part with the secret, so he just shook his head helplessly.

People die for wealth, and birds die for food; this saying has been true since ancient times. Li Zhangjun wasn't a good person either. Since he insisted on this, he couldn't blame Chen Yu.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. To me, immortality is a rare and fortunate opportunity. I... want to take a gamble." Li Zhangjun gritted his teeth.

"Do you really believe there is immortality in this world?" Chen Yu glanced at him and couldn't help but smile.

"Could it be that there isn't?" Li Zhangjun's expression changed slightly.

"The so-called immortality is nothing more than hearsay passed down by people. Even for a Dharma Cultivator, every time they increase a realm, their lifespan increases exponentially. Even if one were to live forever and exist alongside heaven and earth, true immortality is impossible."

"They have merely reached another level, existing in the universe with their consciousness. Wanting to possess a physical body for ten thousand years without decay—that is unrealistic," Chen Yu sighed slightly. "Moreover, Dharma Cultivators communicate with the Heavenly Great Dao through their own power."

"The hardship involved is something outsiders will likely never understand. So, wanting to eat a pill and become immortal? Impossible."
