Chapter 411: The Dharma Cultivator Reappears

The lead car door opened, and a man slowly stepped out; he wore a small mustache and had a cigar in his mouth.

"You are Chen Yu?" The man stared at Chen Yu for a good while before taking off his sunglasses. He chuckled and reached out a hand, saying, "Come, let's get acquainted. I am Xia Guoqiang."

"You are Xia Tian's uncle?" Chen Yu instantly understood this fellow's intentions.

"That's right, I am Xia Tian's uncle. Heh, I think you should know the purpose of my coming to find you," Xia Guoqiang said with a faint smile.

"The Underworld Artifact on Xia Tian was sent by someone you hired, right?" Chen Yu said indifferently. "To be able to deal such a vicious blow to your own nephew—you are quite something, very impressive."

"Haha, since Xia Tian was born into a wealthy family, he should know what the disputes in such families are like." Xia Guoqiang laughed heartily. "I won't deny that I was the one who cast that Descending Head. An open person doesn't speak in riddles; Chen Yu, you are a talent, and I think highly of you."

"So what do you want to do?" Chen Yu smiled.

"Work for me, and the benefits will be plentiful. Or, don't interfere in the matters between me and Xia Tian." Xia Guoqiang pinched out his cigar. "After I successfully take control of the Xia Group, there will be a reward of one hundred million as a token of gratitude."

"Do you think I'm short of this one hundred million?" Chen Yu looked at Xia Guoqiang askance.

"Of course you aren't short of this one hundred million, but you must do it." Xia Guoqiang raised his eyebrows. "I know your abilities are very strong, and you have many supporters in Fengling. Your strength is sufficient; you don't even put Martial Ancestor Realm experts in your eyes."

"It seems you've investigated me quite thoroughly." Chen Yu's brows could not help but knit together; he felt that Xia Guoqiang had come prepared.

"Heh, of course. After all, you are Xia Tian's brother, and to me, you are the only person by his side who can pose a threat to me," Xia Guoqiang said. "Stop meddling, and you can keep your life. Otherwise..."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of Underworld Money with a face value of fifty million and placed it in front of Chen Yu. "You can only go to the underworld to spend this money."

"You never intended to negotiate at all, did you?" Murderous intent suddenly appeared in Chen Yu's eyes.

"No, I am indeed negotiating with you." Xia Guoqiang smiled. "Chen Yu, you must know that the information on all your friends and family is under my control. Your strength is very high, but do you know? In this world, there is a type of person called a 'Dharma Cultivator'."

"You have a Dharma Cultivator supporting you behind the scenes?" Chen Yu glanced at Xia Guoqiang.

"What do you think? Wuding, show yourself and meet this kid." Xia Guoqiang laughed loudly.

Suddenly, Chen Yu's vision blurred, and a monk as thin as a skeleton appeared before him.

"Heh, so you are the one who broke my Underworld Artifact today?" The monk opened his eyes, his face as withered as pine bark looking at Chen Yu without the slightest expression.

"You are also a man of the cloth; it would be better to use less of these harmful things. Otherwise, you will damage your Yin merit, and it will be too late to regret it when Heavenly Retribution strikes," Chen Yu said indifferently.

"The path I, Wuding, walk is the Evil Path; what do I have to fear from Heavenly Retribution?" Wuding laughed wickedly. "Kid, you have some skills to be able to break my Underworld Artifact, but do you know that in this world, a Dharma Cultivator is not someone you can afford to provoke?"

No sooner had Wuding finished speaking than he flicked his right hand. Three fist-sized skulls hanging from his wrist suddenly floated into the air. The skulls' eyes flashed with a ghostly light, and a heart-chilling Mind Power instantly enveloped Chen Yu.

The Soul-Capturing Array could seize a person's soul and take their Three Souls; it was extremely vicious. Xia Guoqiang had not come here to negotiate with Chen Yu at all; he intended to wipe Chen Yu out directly.

"Hmm, Dharma Cultivators are indeed powerful. But an Evil Cultivator who hasn't even reached the entry-level 'Primordial Qi' Realm of the eight great realms dares to call himself a Dharma Cultivator?" Chen Yu let out a deep shout, grabbed with his right hand, and Lichen appeared in his hand.

His right hand vibrated, and the Lichen in his hand moved three times in succession. A strand of the most rigid and pure Sword Qi was suddenly released. *Ding, ding, ding*—the three skulls exploded directly.

Wuding was taken aback. His body shook, he retreated several steps, opened his mouth, and roared, "Who are you?"

"What do you think?" Chen Yu grinned. He sealed the Lichen in his hand, and with another sword strike, he swept forward. Under the blessing of the First Realm of the Great Profound Sacred Clarity Scripture, the Seven Brilliance Weapon Spirit Lichen was incomparably sharp.

"You are also a Dharma Cultivator?" Wuding finally figured out Chen Yu's identity. He let out a loud roar, his hands linked in a seal, and then he spread his arms as if embracing a sphere.

Three translucent phantoms suddenly appeared; these three phantoms were refined from Yin Spirits.

Sword Qi crisscrossed. Before the three Yin Spirits could react, they were struck directly by the Sword Qi and smashed to pieces.

"Retreat..." Wuding was somewhat flustered. He grabbed a sphere with his right hand and flicked it. With a *boom*, a cloud of dust rose, and he disappeared along with Xia Guoqiang behind him.

Thunderbolt Escape Technique. Several kilometers away, Wuding panted as he half-lay against a large tree. Bringing Xia Guoqiang and the others to escape here had indeed exhausted him; it was extremely damaging to his Original Power.

"Master Wuding, what is going on?" Xia Guoqiang had not yet reacted. Originally, he had been full of confidence that he would take Chen Yu down, but the situation on the scene had suddenly changed, and he did not even know how he had been defeated.

"He is a Dharma Cultivator. Why didn't you tell me beforehand?" Wuding stared at Xia Guoqiang in anger. "Although he hasn't reached the Primordial Qi Realm, the entry level for Dharma Cultivators, you must know that battles between Dharma Cultivators are extremely dangerous."

"I underestimated the enemy. Once you underestimate the enemy, it's a matter of life and death."

"I, I didn't know beforehand that he was a Dharma Cultivator. How could he be a Dharma Cultivator? How old is he?" Xia Guoqiang was also dumbfounded, then he looked at Wuding suspiciously. "Master, you aren't saying you couldn't beat him, are you?"

"Bullshit." Wuding, of course, refused to admit it. He said coldly, "I just underestimated the enemy. Let me prepare, and we will make a comeback. When that time comes, that kid definitely won't be able to escape."

"That's good. I trust in your strength, Master. My plan will also unfold in these next few days; I hope you will satisfy me then," Xia Guoqiang sneered.

"Heh, don't worry. Since we are both Dharma Cultivators, I will just take him seriously. However, given this kid's age, even if he has some strength, he is nothing to worry about." Wuding returned to his cold and gloomy expression.

"That would be best. Once the matter is accomplished, the benefits for you, Master, will not be lacking," Xia Guoqiang chuckled.

"Careless." Watching the white smoke dissipate before him, Chen Yu slowly put away Lichen. He thought for a moment and made a call to Xia Tian: "Xia Tian, the other side has an expert."

"They found you?" Xia Tian was shocked.

"Yes, your uncle brought people himself. The other party is a Dharma Cultivator, but don't worry, the unranked kind." Chen Yu said.

"Chen Yu, I'm really sorry. I've implicated you after all." Xia Tian gritted his teeth. "This Xia Guoqiang is very insidious."

"We're brothers, what's this about being implicated?" Chen Yu smiled slightly. "Don't worry, I'm fine. You, on the other hand, need to pay attention to your own safety."

"I've already contacted an expert, an old friend of my father's when he was alive. Don't worry, Xia Guoqiang has been wanting to wipe me out for more than a day or two. If I were that easy to wipe out, I would have been gone long ago," Xia Tian laughed.

"As long as you have a plan in mind." Chen Yu smiled and hung up the phone.

"Chen Yu, it'll be my birthday after midnight. I want to see you the very first moment of my birthday. Can you come?" Just after hanging up, a message from Bai Muyu arrived; her tone was full of anticipation.

The message also included a location; it was the address of the Fengling Academy of Sciences.

Bai Muyu had already started working; she had taken over part of her father Bai Zhan's research. Seeing the expectant tone in her message, Chen Yu gave a wry smile and replied: "I'll wait for you to get off work there."

"Thank you." Bai Muyu quickly replied with a message.

Putting away his phone, Chen Yu drove toward the Academy of Sciences.

At this hour in Fengling, nightlife had actually not long begun. Ordinary people could not enter the Academy of Sciences, so Chen Yu sat down in the coffee shop of the Pingtong Building opposite the Academy.

The Pingtong Building was also a gathering place for elites; the highest-end talent in Fengling was concentrated in this area.

It was now past ten o'clock at night, and Bai Muyu would not be out for another hour or so. Chen Yu ordered a cup of coffee and waited quietly.

The coffee arrived. Chen Yu took the coffee and took a sip. Once it went down his throat, his brows locked—there was a problem with the coffee.

It contained something similar to a sedative; an ordinary person would sleep like a dead pig after one sip.

Just as Chen Yu was feeling suspicious, a woman dressed as a waitress suddenly appeared before him. She smiled sweetly, her smile carrying a hint of schadenfreude: "Chen Yu, do you still remember me?"
