Tang Xiu nodded wordlessly. He once sent his men to investigate Ni Jie, and naturally knew that Ni Penggang was a businessman. Only, he didn’t expect that the man had such a deep relationship with his father. As they headed to the warehouse, Tang Yunde spoke, “Penggang’s older brother was also a brother who braved dangers and death with me in the past, Son. But he met his death on the battlefield when he went to battle with House Dolan with me then. Penggang, however, retired early due to special reasons.”

Tang Xiu suddenly realized why the plan arranged his father in the past was still being implemented even though more than two decades had passed. It was because there were still people carrying it out.

A murderous glint flashed in Ni Penggang’s eyes, but he shook his head and said, “My brother raised me up, and we were both bound by a common destiny, facing weal and woe together. I didn’t expect him to leave so early, so I’ll make sure to obliterate House Dolan thoroughly. All their clansmen must die!”

Tang Xiu’s pace came to a halt as he watched Ni Penggang’s back. His figure suddenly flashed and appeared in front of him instantly. As he took out four silver needles from his interspatial ring, he instantly pierced his acupoints and, at the same time, grasped a sharp dagger and made a bleeding wound on the acupoint outside Ni Penggang’s lungs.

“Xiu’er!”

“Tang Xiu!!!”

Upon seeing Tang Xiu’s actions, Tang Yunde and Ni Jie’s complexions drastically changed and called out in alarm, whereas the men and women around looked grim and exchanged dismayed glances as they moved toward them.

Tang Xiu ignored his father and Ni Jie altogether. While looking at the pale-faced Ni Penggang, Tang Xiu said in a deep tone, “I already realized there are some problems with your body at first sight. The killing intent in you is too heavy, and it has affected the energy circulation in your heart and lungs. Although you can’t see anything, if this condition goes on, the killing intent, resentment, and other negative emotions caused by Yin energy will erode and damage your brain, and also cause your heart and lungs to fail and then lead you to die in pain.

“Now, sit cross-legged and do as I say.

“Please rest assured. You’re my father’s life-and-death brother and an elder I respect. I won’t harm you.”

Ni Penggang’s complexion quickly returned to normal after hearing this. He trusted Tang Yunde since he believed the man also harbored hatred towards House Dolan as deep as his. Therefore, he also trusted Tang Xiu since he was Tang Yunde’s son.

Sitting cross-legged, Ni Penggang silently closed his eyes.

“You must have been cultivating in Qigong, but the opened-up meridians are of Yin type, so your cultivation technique itself has a problem,” continued Tang Xiu in a deep voice. “It wouldn’t have been a problem if the one who cultivated it was a woman, but you’re a man with vigorous Yang energy, so practicing it became a big problem for you.

“Concentrate and calm your mind. Control the energy in your system and let it all flow toward the lungs and acupoints. I’ve already opened a hole there, and now is your turn to excrete all the Yin energy in your system.”

Ni Penggang suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Tang Xiu. “But forcing out all the Yin energy in my body is equal to discarding my cultivation, Nephew! I haven’t yet avenged the enmity, how can I become disabled?”

“Please trust me, Uncle Ni.” Tang Xiu shook his head. “I won’t let you become a waste, but will give you a huge benefit instead.”

‘Trust him? And it will be beneficial for me?’

After his complexion changed a few times, Ni Penggang only hesitated for less than three seconds before he shut his eyes and circulated the True Qi in his system to force out the Yin energy, forcing it to gather and flow to the lungs’ acupoints.

Puff…

Blood splattered and the temperature around Ni Penggang dropped several degrees in just half a minute. Tang Xiu himself wasn’t affected, but Tang Yunde and Ni Jie, who were very close to Ni Penggang, looked horrified and hurriedly retreated several steps.

They felt the change of temperature just now and the burst of strong negative emotions and killing urge in their hearts, even though the person they wanted to kill was not Ni Penggang. Yet, that burst of negative emotion still made them horrified regardless.

Time passed by and half an hour quickly fleeted by. Ni Penggang felt a sense of weakness. The True Qi he had painstakingly cultivated had been forced out and all the Yin energy in his system had been completely discharged.

Tang Xiu kept paying attention to Ni Penggang’s condition. After discovering his condition, he immediately pulled out four silver needless from his body and took out the medicinal ointment and applied it to the wound above his lungs. He then took out a medicinal pill and stuffed it into Ni Penggang’s mouth, saying, “Keep concentrating and refine your Qi. Sense the flow of qi in your body and then circulate it according to this cultivation route.”

Having said that, Tang Xiu held his wrist and checked his pulse while transferring a thread of his Primal Chaos energy into his body to quickly absorb the energy contained in the pill.

“Hmm…”
