Chapter 490: Diverting Disaster Eastward

Cao Bin looked at Lin Yang and finally sighed.

"Our Cao family has encountered some problems in feng shui."

He looked at Yang Shaocheng and said softly: "

"Master Yang's achievements in feng shui are unmatched."

"So, I want to invite him to take a look."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yang glanced at Yang Shaocheng, who was still unconscious.

He chuckled and said to Cao Bin.

"Logically, since he lost to me, he should die."

"However, I can also give your Cao family a favor."

Hearing Lin Yang say he could give the Cao family a favor, Cao Bin showed a happy smile.

Seeing Cao Bin's smiling face, Lin Yang smiled faintly and said.

"However, I'll give you the person, but you also need to give me something in return."

"What thing?"

"I want something imbued with spiritual energy."

Without waiting for Cao Bin to deny, Lin Yang said.

"Don't say you don't have it, or try to fool me with low-quality spirit stones."

"Once I'm deceived, I'm capable of anything."

Cao Bin narrowed his eyes, stared at Lin Yang for a moment, and said.

"Alright, I can ask the family side."

"However, I need time."

"Suit yourself; anyway, before I get the item, your Master Yang will stay by my side."

Cao Bin nodded, indicating no objection.

Not long after, the dishes were served.

After eating a few bites and several rounds of toasting, Cao Bin chuckled and said.

"Mr. Lin, at such a young age, you already possess such cultivation."

"Besides talent, you must have been taught by a renowned master; I don't know who your teacher is."

"If you tell me, I might know him."

Lin Yang looked at Cao Bin with a half-smile and said.

"Are you trying to probe my background?"

Cao Bin waved his hand and said: "Of course not."

"I'm just curious; your abilities, even if placed in the royal family, would be outstanding."

Lin Yang said: "My master is not something you can know."

"You lot, you're not qualified enough."

Upon hearing this, Cao Bin instantly narrowed his eyes.

He looked at Lin Yang, his voice tinged with displeasure.

"Even our royal family isn't worthy enough?"

Seeing Cao Bin's displeased face, Lin Yang retorted.

"Is your royal family really that strong?"

"In my eyes, you're just average."

"Impudent!"

The cultivator behind Cao Bin shouted a rebuke.

They looked at Lin Yang as if ready to attack.

Lin Yang drank his alcohol, utterly unafraid.

"Your so-called royal family is merely somewhat formidable among ordinary people."

"In my eyes, it's just that."

He looked at the two beside Cao Bin and said softly.

"Including you, if I wished, I could easily kill you."

Upon hearing that, the two slapped the table and stood up.

"Really? We'd like to see just how strong you are!"

Seeing their posture ready to fight, Cao Bin said.

"Stop."

He looked at Lin Yang and said softly.

"Mr. Lin, you need to know that there are always people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens."

"Sometimes, don't speak too boastfully."

"Today, let's treat this as a friendly exchange."

Having said that, he turned and left.

"When the item arrives, I will contact you."

Watching the departing Cao Bin and his three companions, Lin Yang laughed and shook his head.

Despite speaking the truth, the three still didn't believe him.

He looked at the unconscious Yang Shaocheng, chuckled, and said.

Congratulations, you've saved your life.

After speaking, he struck the acupoint on Yang Shaocheng's body.

Soon, Yang Shaocheng woke up.

The awakened Yang Shaocheng looked around.

He saw Lin Yang looking down at him.

"You..."

He was about to rise, but discovered his whole body was weak.

"Don't move; I've now sealed all your meridians."

Yang Shaocheng looked at Lin Yang with grief and indignation and said.

"I've lost; kill or cut, do as you please!"

Looking at the resolute Yang Shaocheng, Lin Yang said calmly.

"I was originally going to kill you, but the Cao family saved your life, so you can live."

"Cao family?"

Upon hearing Lin Yang's words, Yang Shaocheng felt relieved inside.

Although he had told Lin Yang to kill him, inside he still hoped to live.

Even an ant clings to life, let alone him who holds power.

He let out a breath of relief and said to Lin Yang.

"Then why don't you release me!"

"Release you?"

Lin Yang laughed, shook his head, and said to Yang Shaocheng.

"Releasing you is impossible; you are the bargaining chip I obtained from the Cao family."

Upon hearing that, Yang Shaocheng shouted angrily.

"I am a feng shui master of Xianggang; must I follow you like a lackey?"

"If this gets out, I'd rather die!"

Seeing the agitated Yang Shaocheng, Lin Yang smiled and said.

"You can leave if you wish, but you must leave a drop of heart's blood, so I can control your life and death at will."

"Otherwise, if the Cao people take you away, wouldn't I be at a loss?"

As soon as Lin Yang demanded his heart's blood, Yang Shaocheng shouted in agitation.

"Impossible!"

Lin Yang looked at him and said calmly.

"Then I will seal your mind for this period, so you won't be so restless."

"Pick one of the two."

After hearing that, Yang Shaocheng hesitated a moment and asked Lin Yang.

"Does the Cao family really intend to ransom me back?"

"After the Cao family ransoms me, will you destroy my heart's blood!"

Lin Yang nodded and said: "Yes!"

Upon hearing Lin Yang's words, Yang Shaocheng gritted his teeth and forced out a drop of heart's blood.

Having obtained the heart's blood, Lin Yang smiled at Yang Shaocheng.

"You may go; when the Cao family brings the items, I will contact you again."

Yang Shaocheng nodded.

As he was about to leave, he said to Lin Yang.

"Regarding you taking my heart's blood, don't tell anyone else."

He feared his words were too harsh, so he added.

"Please."

Lin Yang gave a slight smile and said: "Okay, I know."

Only then did Yang Shaocheng leave the private room reassured.

Watching Yang Shaocheng depart, Lin Yang also found it amusing.

Even at a life-or-death moment, this guy still cares about face.

Meanwhile, Yang Shaocheng returned to the Yang household.

His two sons and many disciples came forward to greet him.

"Dad, are you alright? That guy didn't do anything to you, did he?"

"Master, please let us avenge you."

Looking at his many disciples and sons, Yang Shaocheng coughed and said.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Earlier I just made a slight mistake and suffered some injuries."

"However, this battle gave me much insight; I will break through soon."

"Then I will wipe away past shame."

Upon hearing Yang Shaocheng's words, everyone immediately cheered happily.

Then Gu Yuan approached Yang Shaocheng's side and whispered.

"Master, there are two who call themselves Fusang yin-yang masters who wish to challenge you; what do you think..."

Fusang Yin-Yang Master?

Yang Shaocheng smiled, and instantly thought of having the Fusang people deal with Lin Yang.

"Take them to the reception room!"
