Chapter 874: Enemies Meet

"You..." Liu Wenyuan's expression changed once again.

"It seems it's true, so not everyone who dies is truly dead; for example, Li Qingwan, or should I say, the current Li Yijia?" Chen Yu stared at Liu Wenyuan, not missing a single flicker of expression on his face.

Sure enough, the muscles on Liu Wenyuan's face twitched, and just from this twitch, Chen Yu understood everything completely in his heart.

It seemed his guess was correct; Li Yijia was Li Qingwan. She really hadn't died, and she was in league with Liu Wenyuan.

"Chen Yu, it seems nothing can be hidden from you." Liu Wenyuan steadied himself: "You really are very clever."

"You recruited Xun Hongfang just for the Miyuan Pill in my hands?" Chen Yu sneered: "To be honest, even if I gave you the formula and all the medicinal ingredients and let you study them for a hundred years, you still wouldn't be able to concoct this kind of Pill."

"Yes, your guesses are all correct. Li Qingwan is Li Yijia. We went to great lengths to recruit Xun Hongfang also for the Miyuan Pill in your hands, and you deliberately flaunted the Miyuan Pill just to bait us out, right?" Liu Wenyuan sneered.

"That's right. I always felt there was something wrong with Li Yijia, and I always felt someone behind the scenes was watching my every move, so there was nothing inappropriate about using this method to bait you out." Chen Yu smiled.

"Heh, Chen Yu, I admit I am not as good as you." Liu Wenyuan laughed: "Give me a quick end."

"I can give you a quick end, but before you die, is there nothing you want to say? For example, where is Li Yijia now?" Chen Yu asked.

"Why should I tell you?" Liu Wenyuan sneered: "If I tell you, will you let me go? No. Chen Yu, although I am going to die, as long as I can cause you even a little bit of trouble, I am still very happy to do it."

"Then there is nothing left to say. But rest assured, she won't be able to escape." Chen Yu sneered: "I will not let someone who has tried to scheme against me in both this life and the last leave so easily."

"As for you, cherish your remaining time." Chen Yu glanced at Liu Wenyuan and then left the place.

Just as Chen Yu left, Liu Wenyuan's body began to tremble violently. He fell to his knees on the ground with a thud, shivering incessantly.

His face turned bright red and his eyes became bloodshot, as if all the blood in his body had rushed to his head in that instant.

With a thud, he collapsed to the ground. He crawled with difficulty, and suddenly, one of his eyeballs fell onto the ground. He finally could not hold back and let out a miserable scream.

Immediately after, his body began to rot at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was as if he had been thrown into strong acid; an unknown drug was constantly corroding his body.

Things on his body kept falling off. In less than a minute, his body disappeared. A puff of white smoke flashed by, and only a suit remained where he had been.

Indeed, if Chen Yu had used conventional methods to kill him, perhaps he would have been able to return from the dead just like Li Yijia.

But Chen Yu possessed medical skills; he wouldn't claim to be the best at using poison, but making him truly die was an easy task.

After leaving the villa, Chen Yu headed back. On the way back, Chen Yu reported what had happened today to Xu Lao.

Xun Hongfang was a renowned master in Shengjing, and he had close relationships with many high-level officials. Furthermore, his family held the title of having guarded the Dragon Vein for three generations, so his status was no small matter.

Killing someone is just a matter of life and death; Chen Yu naturally had no regrets about eliminating Xun Hongfang. However, he understood the rules, so he told Xu Lao the detailed sequence of events.

Xu Lao on the other end of the phone was silent for a while. After a long time, he said with a wry smile: "Little Chen Yu, you really are too impulsive. This time, you've given me a difficult problem."

"The issuance of the Five Elements Order is not something I can decide alone; it requires the consent of the six Deacons of the Dragon Breath Council Pavilion. This time, I had to bang the table with the big boss of Dragon Breath to get this matter settled."

"Moreover, Xun Hongfang also has connections within Dragon Breath. If you had really beaten him up, crippled him, or even abolished his cultivation, it would have been fine, but you killed him directly—that was a bit impulsive."

"Xu Lao, one person acts, one person takes responsibility. Even if the six Deacons of Dragon Breath called me to confront them face-to-face, I wouldn't be afraid." Chen Yu said coldly: "If it happened all over again, I would still kill him without hesitation. I have already given Dragon Breath face by not wiping out his entire lineage."

"Xun Hongfang did indeed go too far this time, but what was his reason for doing so? Was there anything that couldn't wait until after you had resolved the Life and Death Order?" Xu Lao was somewhat puzzled.

"The matter is somewhat complicated." Chen Yu told Xu Lao about Xun Hongfang and the Yanhuang Company.

"Now I can be certain that the big boss behind the scenes at Yanhuang is actually the God Lord, who is my maternal grandfather He Tiansheng. I have the Miyuan Pill in my hands, and they intend to decipher the code of immortality, but my Miyuan Pill met their requirements."

"So Xun Hongfang colluded with the people from Yanhuang, all for the sake of the prescription and the Pill in my hands," Chen Yu said.

"So that's how it is." Xu Lao pondered for a moment and said: "Alright, I know about this matter. You hand over the evidence you have regarding Xun Hongfang not following the rules to me, and I will go to Dragon Breath tomorrow to confront those six old men."

"Alright, I'll trouble you with this, Xu Lao." Chen Yu smiled and said: "Actually, I also know that this matter has a significant impact, after all, Xun Hongfang was a guardian of the Dragon Vein for three generations."

"You know it, then. Hmph, kid, you owe me this time. You must remember this clearly; in the future, if I have anything that requires you to step forward and help, you must give it your all."

"Please rest assured, Xu Lao. If there is anything you need me for in the future, I will definitely give it my all," Chen Yu smiled.

"Alright, that's it then." Xu Lao sighed and hung up the phone.

Chen Yu called Mu Xi to ask about his mother's condition and told her that the matter had been resolved.

However, his mother was in much better spirits after taking the medicine, and his father was accompanying her. Upon learning that she was fine, Chen Yu finally felt a little more at ease.

Just at this moment, Chen Yu's cell phone rang again. It was another encrypted unknown number.

Chen Yu's brows furrowed slightly. To be honest, what he feared most now was answering these kinds of encrypted numbers.

Because these numbers were encrypted, they generally could not be wiretapped. Whenever such a number called, it was either a department like Dragon Breath coming to his door, or a hostile force playing some new trick.

But he couldn't not answer such calls. He hesitated for a moment before answering the phone.

"Chen Yu." A delicate voice came from the other end of the phone. Upon hearing this voice, Chen Yu's expression suddenly stiffened.

He was all too familiar with this voice.
