Chapter 125 - 125 124 The Extremely Complicated Lv Zhong!

125: Chapter 124 The Extremely Complicated Lv Zhong! _1 125: Chapter 124 The Extremely Complicated Lv Zhong! _1 In room 388 of Lingyin Hotel, a five-star hotel in the new Xinfa Development Zone of Yan City, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man sat sternly on a sofa. An unsettling chill seemed to emanate from him. Four men and women stood nervously bowed before him. The hotel’s female staff felt an inexplicable fear after serving this group, and once they finished their duties, they hurried out of the room, avoiding room 388 at all costs. “Elder Ye, how is your mission progressing?” The speaker, a seemingly ordinary-looking man in his thirties, had an intense gaze like a bolt of lightning. He was the chairman of the Jingang Assembly, Zhang Kai, masquerading as Zhang Xuan, with the cultivation of the Inner Qi Seventh Level in ancient martial arts. Zhang Kai was born into a mysterious ancient martial arts family in China, the Zhang Family. He was only twenty-seven years old. Being an ancient martial artist of the inner Qi seventh level at such a young age was a testament to his superior ancient martial arts inheritance and unparalleled talent. Eleven years ago, Zhang Kai undertook a trial task from his family, taking the alias Zhang Xuan and establishing the Jingang Assembly in Yan City. He dedicated his time to cultivating and developing the Jingang Assembly, and it rapidly became the most powerful entertainment tycoon of Yan City. Behind the scenes, he also controlled many entertainment forces in other provincial capitals. Though the industries Jingang Assembly was involved with in Yan City barely touched 2 billion, this was just scratching the surface. If you considered the underground trades like the sale of special drugs, arms smuggling, and the resulting huge profits, the ability of the Jingang Assembly to accumulate capital in Yan City was terrifying. In a decade, they absorbed more than 30 billion. Yet, this golden goose was mysteriously slaughtered, making Zhang Kai extremely angry. Firstly, he single-handedly developed and expanded the Jingang Assembly. The industries the Assembly secretly controlled were also built by him. He had a deep emotional connection to the Assembly. Secondly, running the Jingang Assembly was the trial task assigned to him by his family. The manner in which he accomplished the task would be evaluated by the family. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. If he performed well, his status in the family would rise rapidly, and he would receive more of the family’s cultivation resources. However, as the industries of the Jingang Assembly were destroyed over the past couple of months, Zhang Kai’s pressure in the family greatly increased, and he was facing tough times. Thirdly, the Jingang Assembly was a golden goose for both the family and Zhang Kai. It could amass a great amount of money in the mundane world. Fourthly, the destruction of the Jingang Assembly created many loopholes in Zhang Kai’s arrangements in Xiangnan Province, leaving him vulnerable to attacks from competitors. For all the above reasons, Zhang Kai bore a profound grudge against Leng Feng, Zhao Yuanyi, and other officials involved. He was also eager to get his hands on the information of all the individuals involved in the destruction of Jingang Assembly in order to exact his revenge. The man referred to as “Elder Ye” by Zhang Kai was Ye Yinyue, an early innate sage-level ancient martial artist assigned by the Zhang Family to protect Zhang Kai. He appeared to be a stooped old man, but he was once a ruthless killing machine. He was one of the ancient martial artists used by the Zhang Family to intimidate other families. Upon hearing Zhang Kai’s inquiry, he confidently said, “Young master, my mission is almost complete. I’ve contacted a reputable group of assassins in Japan through multiple channels, and they have in turn contacted some South Seas Natives…” Zhang Kai pondered for a moment, then asked, “Elder Ye, are you certain nobody would be able to connect you with these foreign groups?” “Young master, even if you can’t trust me yet, you should have faith in our family’s [Face Changing Technique]. None of those Japanese or South Seas Natives will ever know anything about my background,” said Ye Yinyue, suddenly straightening his hunched body with pride. Zhang Kai turned to another of his confidants, Violent Dragon, and asked, “Dragon, how has your mission progressed?” “Master, rest assured. Rather, the every move of the Leng and Zhao families is under my surveillance. And my men are currently perfecting the data they have collected on Leng Feng and Zhao Yuanyi. If the master wishes to retaliate against these two, the information will be delivered to me promptly.” Violent Dragon said calmly, his eyes flashing fiercely. The Jingang Assembly was also his home as he had spent many years building it… Zhang Kai then looked at Black Lion, before he could speak, Black Lion quickly said, “Master, I have also contacted some people to come to Yan City and secretly take over Jingang Assembly’s territory, to divert the attention. Even if the government intensifies its investigation, they won’t trace it back to us.” Zhang Kai retracted his satisfied gaze from Black Lion and turned to Wise Fox Yan Wenjun. Yan Wenjun hesitated for a moment before saying, “Master, I am not yet able to identify the real mastermind behind the destruction of our Jingang Assembly. However, from various pieces of information, it seems very likely that the Leng Family is involved. In addition, my men recently collected an interesting piece of intelligence….” Interesting intelligence? Zhang Kai, Ye Yinyue, Violent Dragon, Black Lion, the four of them hurriedly looked at Zhihu, a hint of curiosity in their eyes. If someone could be classified as “interesting” by Zhihu, then they must truly be interesting. “Do tell!” Zhang Kai looked at Yan Wenjun and suddenly said. “The root cause of our Jingang Assembly getting eradicated is something everyone probably knows about. It all began with the futile assault on a student two months ago.” A flash of chill sparkled in Yan Wenjun’s eyes, “Hmm, I found it suspicious at the time and decided to investigate both parties involved. That’s when I discovered that one of the students, named Lv Zhong, was not as ordinary as he seemed…” At this moment, Violent Dragon suddenly interrupted him, “Are you talking about Lv Zhong, the senior student from City No.1 High School? We already knew from the surveillance video that he practiced National Martial Arts and has the cultivation of the Dark Strength Warrior, but this just proves that he’s a common martial artist in society. He doesn’t have any real top-level inner cultivation techniques for practicing, so he cannot even be considered a cultivation genius. Children of our family who practice inner cultivation techniques are superior to such Dark Strength Warriors like him. What’s so extraordinary about him…” Zhihu rolled his eyes, glared at Violent Dragon, and yelled, “Stop interrupting, Violent Dragon! Let me finish.” Seeing that Zhihu was about to lose his temper, Violent Dragon couldn’t help but shudder, quickly saying, “Alright, go ahead. I’ll just listen and not talk.” Zhihu retracted his gaze from Violent Dragon, turned his head to look at Zhang Kai, and said, “After a serious investigation of the student Lv Zhong, I discovered that this kid is extremely excellent in academics. He is a top student who can easily get into Tianjing and Shui Mu, two of the highest-ranked schools in the nation. Besides, he possesses impeccable medical skills. I have confirmed that it was this student who cured the late-stage gastric cancer of Zhao Yuanyi’s older brother, Zhao Yuancan. Furthermore, he subsequently cured several other cancer patients…” What? Upon hearing this, Zhang Kai and Ye Yinyue couldn’t help staring with wide eyes, a flicker of surprise flashing through their gazes. Despite being true Ancient Martial Artists, they were startled and shocked by this news. Late-stage gastric cancer was actually cured? And there was more than one cancer patient who was cured? This implies that it wasn’t just a matter of luck or bluffing. Thus, it seemed that this student was indeed something special. In ancient times, such a person would be referred to as a “divine doctor”—an extraordinary figure whom everyone in the martial arts world would hope to befriend. In modern society, the heritage of Chinese medicine is scarce, making it difficult for such a divine doctor to appear. However, the emergence of such a divine doctor would indeed be a great blessing for the entire country, even all of humanity. “After finding out that he’s skilled in medicine, I checked his family background. His ancestors were doctors for generations, producing many famous doctors and imperial physicians. With such a family tradition, it’s not shocking for him to be a divine doctor, even though it was surprising. What actually shocked me was that after he had given a ‘Song of Plum Painting’ at the adult ceremony of Leng Feng’s daughter, he made another ‘Song of Plum Painting’ on the spot. Both paintings demonstrated his extraordinary level of calligraphy and painting, similar to the master artists of ancient times. It was because of these two exquisite ‘Song of Plum Paintings’ that during the banquet, the inner Qi of both Dongfang Family’s naughty boy and Ao Yuling of the Ao Family experienced breakthroughs in two minor realms…” At this point, Zhihu paused, his face full of astonishment. Zhang Kai, Ye Yinyue, Violent Dragon, and Black Lion also wore similar expressions of astonishment. They were all real Ancient Martial Artists who knew how difficult it was to cultivate ancient martial arts. Moreover, although there were many ancient martial arts families in China, the talents from different families were more or less known to each other. They had heard of Dongfang Baoyu and Ao Yuling. One was a previous Ancient Martial Artist at the Internal Qi First Stage, and the other was a talented young woman at the Internal Qi Second Stage. Now that both had achieved two breakthroughs, it implied that the two had reached the Internal Qi Third Stage and the Internal Qi Fourth Stage, respectively. This was undoubtedly enviable, especially for Violent Dragon and Black Lion, who were just at the Internal Qi First and Second Stages. “This Lv Zhong, surpasses his peers in academia, is at the level of a divine doctor in medical skills. However, how does he have such frightening talent and achievements in calligraphy and painting? How can an eighteen-year-old boy master so many things? Obviously, this is not normal! And yet, this kid was one of the sparks that ignited the destruction of our Jingang Assembly. Don’t you think this person is magical?” Zhihu asked in amazement.
