I didn't know how long I had been unconscious.
When Lu Junzhuo woke up, he felt an extreme dryness in his mouth, a sharp headache, and his overall condition was very poor.
Instinctively, he searched for his phone, but found nothing. He realized that his pockets were empty.
"Damn it, where is my phone?!"
Lu Junzhuo fumed, his face paling.
Did someone really steal my things while I was unconscious?
Panic set in as he hurriedly touched his chest.
Fortunately, his dragon jade was still there. He didn't know why they hadn't taken it.
The poison in his body was also under control, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.
Although his physical condition remained very severe, what surprised him was that the bottleneck at the top of the [Mystic] level had loosened a bit!
An acupuncture point that had always been blocked had suddenly been unblocked a little.
"A blessing in disguise? Tang Yu, just get ready to die," Lu Junzhuo smiled. Even without the Nine Transformations Pill, the [Earth] level was within reach!
In a good mood, he got up and prepared to leave the park.
Just then, he felt a sharp pain in his backside.
At first, he didn't pay much attention, thinking it was a result of his previous injuries.
With a mischievous smile, he was ready to return and recover in seclusion.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He Family Private Hospital
After a period of recovery, Ye Chen's injuries had healed completely.
A few days ago, even passing gas caused him unbearable pain, as if he had a firecracker in his backside that exploded with any movement.
During his recovery, he had been training desperately.
Until today!
He had finally made a major breakthrough in his cultivation and reached the pinnacle of the [Mystic] level.
Defeats, in the end, are just food for growth.
Now, he was in the small garden of the He family private hospital, thinking about the next steps for his plan.
At that moment, two figures approached quickly from behind.
When they were about three meters away, they stopped and said in unison, "Dragon King!"
The newcomers were Ling Han and Chi Yin.
Seeing the two women, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel excited. He had been bedridden for so long and unable to move, leaving him with great tension.
However, he knew it was still not the right time.
"Once his plans were completed, he was able to enjoy them both without any problem."
"You've worked hard infiltrating during this time. How did the mission go?" Ye Chen asked with a wicked smile.
"I've already managed to infiltrate the Tang family's house."
"I obtained important confidential information from the Tang Group."
The two women each reported their findings.
"Good, just as I expected from you. With your help, it's like having a strategist and a hero by my side," Ye Chen smiled with satisfaction.
The Death Squad, those useless ones, had betrayed him and joined Lu Junzhuo.
Long Ya was in prison.
Fortunately, Ling Han and Chi Yin remained trustworthy.
Then, Ye Chen looked at the two women and said with a smile.
"A few days ago, some minor problems arose in the plan, but overall, it's still under control."
"After being attacked by a group of experts, instead of being a defeat, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, and I managed to advance in my cultivation. Now I'm at the top of the [Mystic] level."
"So I've decided to change the plan. I won't go to Yanjing for now and will stay in Su Hang."
The faces of the two women changed slightly after hearing this.
Did this guy manage to advance in his cultivation thanks to a defeat?
However, by habit, the two responded in unison, "Congratulations, Dragon King, on your advancement in cultivation. What will we do next?"
"Now is the time to counterattack. Tang Yu and Lu Junzhuo must die."
Ye Chen's expression suddenly turned bitter and venomous.
Both deserved to die!
One ruined his plans.
The other wants to usurp the Dragon King's position.
Looking at the two women, Ye Chen ordered, "Chi Yin, continue gathering important documents; make sure we can take down the Tang group in one fell swoop."
"Ling Han, take charge of destabilizing the Tang family from within. I want the Tang family to collapse into chaos and a great fire to consume them in Su Hang."
"Yes!"
The two women responded in unison, but their eyes showed a cold gaze and a desire for revenge.
"Go. I'll notify you when I've taken control of the martial arts families in Su Hang so you can act."
Ye Chen gestured for the two women to leave.
During his time in the hospital, he had been secretly making various preparations.
Such as organizing the next great ancient martial arts competition.
Conquering the martial arts families of Su Hang would be his trump card for regaining power.
Now, the four great families had united around the Tang family to confront him.
Now that things had come to this point, he had to change his plan.
After taking control of the martial arts families, his first task would be to destroy the Tang family.
To tear this supposed alliance into pieces and foster internal conflicts so they could destroy themselves.
Only then could he regain control of Su Hang.
As for Tang Yu and Lu Junzhuo, he already had plans for them.
He had already decided how they should die.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but laugh.
He laughed at Tang Yu's lack of intelligence and Lu Junzhuo's lack of strategy.
After leaving the He family private hospital.
Ling Han and Chi Yin walked in silence, with no intention of speaking.
Their relationship was actually quite good.
But at this moment, their attitude toward each other had changed.
Both saw themselves as people of Tang Yu and regarded the other as a person of Ye Chen.
So now they were in opposing positions.
The orders Ye Chen had given today had put both of them on edge.
"After the two walked for a while, Chi Yin finally made a decision."
"It was time to eliminate the threat to Mr. Tang."
She said:
"Ling Han, come with me. There's something I want to tell you."
"Okay."
Ling Han nodded and followed Chi Yin with a smile on her face.
The two women walked to a relatively hidden place.
Chi Yin, walking in front, suddenly turned around and launched an attack.
With a murderous intent manifested on her face, her bright, cold knife headed for Ling Han's throat.
At the same time, Ling Han also launched an attack with a military knife.
After their weapons clashed, the two quickly retreated two steps to distance themselves.
Their gazes toward each other were filled with distrust.
Were they both thinking of how to kill each other?
"What does this mean?" Ling Han asked coldly, looking at Chi Yin.
Why was she trying to kill her?
Did she discover that she had betrayed the organization?
"It means nothing. You are a lackey of Ye Chen; I am a person of Mr. Tang. It's normal to kill you."
Chi Yin said with a cold smile.
"For Mr. Tang."
That superficial friendship was worth nothing.
"What?!"
Ling Han was instantly dumbfounded.
"She looked at Chi Yin and frowned, 'Are you one of Young Tang's people?'"
"Obviously. My father used to be the captain of the Tang family's bodyguards. Mr. Tang has done great favors for me and was very kind to me."
Chi Yin said this as she lunged to attack again.
Ling Han was about to spit blood.
"After blocking some attacks, he shouted, 'Stop, I'm also one of Young Tang's people!'"
"Don't come at me with that. Do you think you can fool me?"
"'Why would I lie to you? Isn't it common for Young Tang to often compare us? And to wonder if our dealings are different, which is why we are so different?'"
"…"
Chi Yin was instantly dumbfounded.
In the office, she had indeed heard Mr. Tang murmur about this.
Then she realized.
It seems that Ling Han, like her, could also hear his thoughts.
