Chapter 725 (2/2)

Zhou Yutian looked haggard, like he had aged a few more years as his dull, lifeless eyes swept across the crowd

They all shi+vered as his fleeting glance swept across each of them His eyes had only a look of hopelessness in them

“Father, are you alright? You don't seem well” Zhou Zimo asked worriedly

“Mht need to leave all of you earlier than I expected, so you guys must assist your eldest brother properly in the future, don't be too involved in worldly pleasures — especially you, Ziyu, it's about ti to our Ji Public House!”

“Yes, father” Zhou Ziyu nodded

He was full of bitterness over the matter but he did not want to disobey his father at a time like this

Zhou Yutian ordered, “You all can leave, I want to be on my own”

“Father, letquickly said

Zhou Yutian shook his head “No need, go and do what you need to do!”

Zhou Zifeng inquired, “What should I do about Ji River Valley? Since the villagers are already panicked, I'ets out, everyone will become even more scared and leave Ji River Valley an empty city!”

“I will go out for a stroll sometime soon to calm the people's heart” Zhou Yutian reassured

Zhou Zimo finally addressed the elephant in the room “Father, what do we do if another Asura comes?”

Zhou Yutian turned to him and answered, “I have an old friend in Tempest Temple, Ziyu You'll delivera few martial art masters from Tempest Temple for help They know the best way to handle these Asuras!”

“Alright” Zhou Ziyu nodded

“I'll write the letter now!” Zhou Yutian stood up and walked to his desk with Zhou Zifeng's help

Zhou Mei had prepared the ink and put a blank paper in the center of the desk

As they watched Zhou Yutian's writing hand tremble, the Zhou Brothers felt their heart ache

His father ure, but his cultivation level was insanely high, and he was always a heroic figure to them This was the first time he had revealed such a vulnerable side

Zhou Yutian took great effort to write the letter, and by the time he was done, his forehead was covered in a cold sweat,him look incredibly frail

He motioned for Zhou Mei to seal the letter and told his third son, “Ziyu, I can't hold on for too long—five days, I can hold on for five days at most, so you ht to get it there!”

“Understood!” Zhou Ziyu answered solemnly

When Zhou Yutian reached his bed, he was already panting like a bull He waved his hands and shooed theet out you lot and let me rest!”

“Yes…” Everyone bowed reverently and shuffled out of the room

Zhou Ziyu told Zhou Mei to pack his bags as soon as he returned to his courtyard After she was done, he picked up his bags and left; this was a matter that involved the Ji Public House's safety, he had no time for lovers' talk

As Zhou Mei watched his proud silhouette leave, she let out a faint sigh

Not long after Zhou ZIyu had left Ji River Valley, he suddenly met four Grandmasters

He was kidnapped, his letter stolen and after that brought to a courtyard within Ji River Valley where his acupuncture points were sealed, leaving him immobile He could only watch as time passed by, one day, two days, three days… Until the fifth day

Although his acupuncture points were sealed, he was still conscious He knew that the nu into this courtyard was slowly increasing People kept co in until there were eventually thirty of them

On the night of the fifth day, these thirty Grandmasters snuck out of the courtyard and disappeared into the darkness of the night

He knew that these fellas were ai for the Ji Public House Thus, he was forced to watched teary-eyed as hopelessness flooded Zhou Ziyu's heart

Thirty Grandht of it would make a person's blood run cold, there was no doubt that the Ji Public House would not survive

Once they destroy the High Duke's Public House, they deal with hi the entire Ji Public House on their way to the afterlife 'Well, at least it will not be a lonely ride,' thought Zhou Ziyu

The days crept by like years He had no idea when these fellas would return, but he knew that the moment they came back, it would mean that the battle was over, the Ji Public House would be nothing more than ruins and he would soon face his death

Since the Ji Dynasty was founded, there had not been an instance of a High Duke's Public House being destroyed, but now, the Ji Public House would be the first case in history!

He got furious as the thought entered hisoff in his cultivation Now, he could only helplessly watch as the Ji Public House fell to ruin

He was not just being useless, he also did a disservice to the Public House, if soone in his place, perhaps the reinforcements from Tempest Temple would have arrived by now!

He grit his teeth at the thought
