A chilling light flashed from Elder Wei’s eyes as he said in a deep voice, “Cultivators have been in existence in China, and the number is definitely more than a handful. The more powerful they are, the more they are able to change their appearances. If this person’s cultivation level has reached the Nascent Soul Stage, he can even remold and reshape his flesh and become what it was when he was young. Just who is this guy, exactly?”

“The preliminary investigation only shows that Chen Zhizhong has taken a Master about two years ago. But we haven’t yet investigated what he has been taught specifically,” said Wen Feng. “But given Chen Zhizhong’s strength progress in these two years, what he has been taught should be martial arts or cultivation. His Master is Tang Xiu, who is hailed as the young Divine Doctor in China, and is also the owner of China’s Magnificent Tang Corporation.”

The Magnificent Tang Corporation?

Elder Wei’s eyes lit up. He once heard of this company. Some of the top-level existences in the Darkwind had once schemed to obtain the sophisticated tech product of this company. It was unfortunate, however, that the Chinese authorities chose to back and support this company, so they had to cancel the plan.

“Given your character, you must’ve been careful, and you should’ve investigated this Tang Xiu, right? Tell me everything about him!” said Elder Wei in a deep voice.

A bitter smile appeared on Wen Feng’s square face. He reached out to a wooden box stored in his sleeve’s pocket, cautiously took out a Cuban cigar from the inside, and gave it to the old Wei. He lighted it up for the old man, then bitterly smiled. “Anyway, I’ve indeed sent out many intel operatives to investigate Tang Xiu, Elder Wei. But an invisible force that has been hindering us. That’s why the information on him is very scant and pitiful. Alright, I’ll send someone to deliver you the information.”

Elder Wei glowered at him and impatiently waved. “Just hurry up! I gotta figure out who’s behind Chen Zhizhong. I wanna know who’s so capable to be able to break the seal I cast on him.”

“Alright!”

Nodding respectfully, Wen Feng immediately ran to do his biding. Just a few minutes later, however, he reluctantly returned to Elder Wei and bitterly said with a forced smile, “Uh, Elder Wei, the branch in Liangang just sent a message. The custodian lost the databank door’s card, so there’s no way to send the information immediately. I have a copy of the card, but I’m afraid I have to go back there myself.”

“Drag that custodian to me!” yelled Elder Wei. “How the hell can he lose such an important thing? Such dereliction of duty will bring our organization hidden danger! What an imbecile! I’m gonna make him wish to die while keeping him alive!”

A chill ran down Wen Feng’s back and heart. All he just said was to deceive Elder Wei, while the very reason why he wanted to leave Golden Coast was that he didn’t want to stay in the tiger den anymore. One may be killed by this damned Elder Wei should they not pay attention, especially when the geezer was in a bad mood.

If you could avoid and hide from this geezer for even a minute, you’d definitely not spend a second more in his presence.

As long as this “Nether Swap” meeting was over, this old thing would leave China and there would be nothing more he would need to worry about.

Immediately after, Wen Feng took his four confidants and rode on a car that quickly drove off the Golden Coast. Just after they left, however, the people tasked to keep an eye on the Golden Coast sent the news about it.

The Blue Ocean Goldfine Hotel.

Tang Xiu and Chen Zhizhong were hiding in the presidential suite. Suddenly, Tang Xiu’s phone rang and he received the report after connecting the call. Then, he nodded and said, “I see. Capture him and kill the others!”

After hanging up, he looked at Chen Zhizhong and spoke with a sneer, “Well, Wen Feng actually came out of the Golden Coast in the dead of the night. You have a feud with him, yet he straightly headed out in a hurry just after I broke the restriction seal in your body. There’s definitely something between the two, and it’s likely the person who harmed and started it all should be him.”

“I have a question, Master,” said Chen Zhizhong.

“What is it?” asked Tang Xiu.

“If the person who harmed me is Wen Feng or someone he asked, why didn’t they just kill me directly and only cast such a restriction seal on me, instead? Don’t you think all these moves unnecessary?” asked Chen Zhizhong.

Tang Xiu’s expression slightly shifted. “That makes sense. They haven’t killed you and instead, put such a restriction seal on you. This could mean they have some schemes in mind which start from your body. But what do they want, exactly?”

“My guess should be my money,” said Chen Zhizhong. “It’s all they can get out of me.”

“That speaks volume, too.” Tang Xiu narrowed his eyes and nodded. “Your company’s market value is very high, and you now have more wealth than you did two years ago, about double, right? What’s more, you run a medicinal material business, while cultivators need these precious herbs. Thus, you naturally became prey in the eyes of many people. As long as they can control your life, they’ll obtain a lot of medicinal herbs and capital in the future.”

“Another one, Master. Didn’t you say the restriction seal they cast on me will cause me to die within three months?” asked Chen Zhizhong. “If I were then killed, won’t that mean their control over me is gone?”

“Heng, they have the ability to cast such a seal. It’s only natural they can break it too,” Tang Xiu replied with a sneer. “When you fall into desperation, and if the other party tells you that they can solve it, will they just comply with your plea so easily if you ask them? Or will you give them a promise and be at their mercy and be ready at their beck and call?”

Chen Zhizhong went silent for a while. Then, he slowly nodded and said, “That’s a possibility. Besides, it’s better to live than to die as one only has unlimited possibilities if he’s alive.”

“The wishful thinking of these people is indeed great, yet they straightly ignored my existence. Also, they did not expect that I can break the seal cast on you.” Tang Xiu sneered. “If my guess is correct, the person who has cast the seal on you must’ve received a backlash. We can count it as a bit of interest paid in advance.”

Shortly after, he made a phone call and ordered Banshou to make a trip to his hometown, Qinghe County. He ordered him to hike the hill behind the Su Family Village to find the Serene Articulation Grass. Back when he was in the back hill of the Su Family Village, he found a lot of them there, but he didn’t collect them as he thought that there was no great use of it then, though he didn’t expect that it’d actually serve its uses now.
