Chapter 699 - 353: Li Xuejin’s Revenge

Chapter 699: Chapter 353: Li Xuejin’s Revenge

At this, the rest of the group finally understood.

That was right. The most important reason the Immortal City held its current status was its Spiritual Qi.

The outside world had none.

Cheng Zongyang looked at Li Xuejin with great appreciation. He was already well-acquainted with the man’s intelligence, so he wasn’t particularly surprised. He simply said,

"Don’t worry. The next time I go to the Cultivation Immortality Realm, I’ll get started on it. If the plan succeeds, I’m afraid this Immortal City will become even more ’lively’."

Cheng Zongyang didn’t specify what he planned to do.

But by ’lively,’ he didn’t mean bustling with people. He meant lively with danger.

This was also why he had prioritized self-preservation when choosing his Magic Techniques.

’Stealing... oh, no, ’collecting’ the Spirit Veins from beneath the various factions in the Cultivation Immortality Realm—how could he possibly do that without ways to protect his own life?’

Everyone had absolute faith in Cheng Zongyang’s words, so no one asked any further questions. Instead, Cheng Zongyang turned to Li Lu and said,

"Whatever Hall Master Wang needs later, you will assist him with all your strength. If this Immortal Mountain plan succeeds, then the next step might just be to encompass Tianduan Mountain."

As Cheng Zongyang finished his last sentence, everyone was stunned.

"Tianduan Mountain?!" Cheng Zongwen and Zhou Zhendong both frowned slightly, their gazes turning to Cheng Zongyang.

’Cheng Family Village is in Tianduan Mountain. Wouldn’t doing this expose the entire village?’

The others were simply shocked, thinking their Boss wanted to transform all of Tianduan Mountain.

But Cheng Zongyang offered an explanation. "Of course, it’s not what you’re all thinking. The Tianduan Mountain plan won’t be implemented right away; it’s just a preliminary concept. If the Immortal Mountain plan is completed in the future and the living conditions in the Immortal City become too crowded, we will need to consider developing Tianduan Mountain and simply expanding the Immortal City in that direction."

Only then did everyone understand.

’Expansion, not developing the entirety of Tianduan Mountain. That’s completely different.’

With the discussion of the Immortal Mountain plan concluded, Cheng Zongyang looked at Li Xuejin. Seeing this, the latter took a step forward, cupped his hands toward Cheng Zongyang, and said, "Boss, this subordinate wishes to go out to handle a personal matter. I hope for the Boss’s permission."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zongyang sensed Li Xuejin’s Qi Cultivation Second Level Cultivation and seemed to understand something. He fell silent for a moment. He knew about the hatred in Li Xuejin’s heart and understood his decision.

’He feels his Cultivation is now high enough to get his revenge.’

Although no one present was an outsider, this was still a private family matter for Li Xuejin. Cheng Zongyang immediately looked at the others. "You are all dismissed for now. Go attend to your duties. If there’s anything else, we can discuss it later."

"Yes, Boss!" Without asking any questions, the group cupped their hands and took their leave.

"Oh, right. Zhendong, have Xu Dong come here," Cheng Zongyang added, speaking to Zhou Zhendong.

"Alright!"

Zhang Chuchu was the last to leave, pulling the door shut on the way out.

"You may have a Qi Cultivation, but do you think you can defeat several Innate Great Perfection Martial Artists?" Cheng Zongyang asked directly, cutting to the chase.

As a top-tier Gate Valve Family, the Zheng Family had numerous experts at the Innate Realm and above, including several at the Great Perfection Realm.

He was worried Li Xuejin wasn’t prepared.

Li Xuejin smiled. "I took out a loan for a large number of Spirit Stones and purchased many offensive and defensive Talismans. This subordinate even tested them against a Great Perfection Cultivator from a Royal Family. Breaking through Protective Gang Qi isn’t a problem. Afterward, I just need to follow up with a continuous barrage of Talismans. Besides, even if I really can’t defeat a siege of multiple Innate Great Perfection Martial Artists, won’t it still be easy to deal with the other core members of the Zheng Family?"

Hearing this, Cheng Zongyang knew that Li Xuejin had made his preparations. Of course, with Li Xuejin’s intelligence, he would only make such a decision if he was confident.

Thus, he didn’t try to persuade him further. "Alright. Since you’ve decided, I won’t stop you. But you must remember to be careful and cautious. Don’t act recklessly. Is there anything else you need from me?"

Li Xuejin bowed deeply to Cheng Zongyang, his tone sincere and heartfelt. "Huangfu Xuejin thanks the Boss for his trust and patronage. If I can fulfill my wish on this trip and return alive, I will dedicate my life to repaying the Boss’s kindness!"

Huangfu Xuejin.

Cheng Zongyang murmured the name to himself. Was this the first time he had heard Li Xuejin state his real name?

’It seems I never asked back then.’

But that wasn’t important. He valued the man himself; the name was just a label.

"Then I will await your safe return," Cheng Zongyang said with a slight nod.

"Yes!" Li Xuejin straightened up, smiled, and then turned to leave.

For over twenty years, he had endured the blood feud of his family, his every scheme ending in failure. To now be able to take revenge with his own hands was the best possible outcome for him.

Not long after Li Xuejin left, Zhang Zeyu came in, approached, and said, "Boss, Chen Kaishan is here with the grandson of an old friend, requesting an audience. This Chen Kaishan has been waiting for two months."

Cheng Zongyang was slightly taken aback. The grandson of an old friend? ’Someone I know?’ He then said, "Let them in."

A moment later, Chen Kaishan walked in with a young man.

Cheng Zongyang immediately sensed that Chen Kaishan had reached the Second Grade. His qi and blood were quite rich, but Cheng Zongyang’s Divine Sense could also perceive that his foundation was unstable.

Apparently, over the past eight or nine months, not only had he put in arduous effort, but he had likely also consumed a fair number of Elixirs. Otherwise, it would be impossible to break through two or three Realms in less than a year. The result of this haste was an unstable foundation.

Cheng Zongyang looked at Chen Kaishan and said with a smile, "Uncle Chen, it’s been a long time."

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to the young man of about twenty standing to Chen Kaishan’s left and rear.

Chen Kaishan cupped his fist in salute and said with a smile, "Boss, I trust you have been well."
