Chapter 1109: Returned Alive
Breeze Courtyard, still that small building at the center of the lake.
A dozen people were sitting on the top floor, sipping tea.
The courtyard closest to the shore was tightly guarded by several fully armed guards, with snipers even stationed in the shadows.
One of them wore a golden cheongsam akin to a dragon robe, with white hair, in his fifties.
It was none other than Su Zhengjun, the president of the Northwest Commerce.
Today, anyone present was a top five wealthy businessman from a province, generally the branch presidents of the provincial chambers of commerce.
But at this moment, the focus of attention was not Su Zhengjun, but a middle-aged man, bare-chested, with dark skin and a beard.
That physique, compared to a black boxer, was even more robust, just sitting there, giving an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Divine Realm Expert.
He was Chen Jiao's senior brother, Lei Gang.
Su Zhengjun lowered his status and personally poured wine for Lei Gang.
"This time, it's thanks to you that our Northwest Commerce can effortlessly take over White Dragon Commerce. I will never forget this kindness, and I will certainly fulfill our cooperation, privately giving you a reward of one billion."
"Yes, yes, if it weren't for Master Lei, those martial artists of the White Dragon Association could have been a real headache for us."
"This is a token of our appreciation, you must accept it."
A group of wealthy businessmen took out checks worth tens of millions to give to Lei Gang.
Divine Realm Expert, how rare, even though they were wealthy businessmen, they had to appease him desperately, in case they needed Lei Gang's favor in the future.
Being flattered by everyone.
Lei Gang arrogantly ordered his followers to collect the checks, while hypocritically saying.
"Everyone is too kind. That Miracle Doctor Zhang dared to kill my junior brother Chen Jiao and Yang Tao, he is my dead enemy and must pay some price."
"Hmm..."
The president of the Qing Province Chamber hesitated for a moment and cautiously asked.
"But, is Miracle Doctor Zhang really dead? What if he comes back after you leave today, won't he cause trouble for me?"
"I've heard that Miracle Doctor Zhang has extraordinary divine skills, decisive and ruthless. If he returns, we are merely mortals, how could we resist?"
"Yes, yes..."
The rest also showed worried expressions upon hearing this.
"Hmph."
Lei Gang said confidently.
"At this point, I won't hide it from everyone. My master took four Qi Transformation Martial Artists to assassinate Miracle Doctor Zhang, it's been several days with no news, but my master has been in the Divine Realm for years and has four Qi Transformation Martial Artists accompanying him. Miracle Doctor Zhang has just entered the Divine Realm, facing such an ambush, he is sure to die."
"Great, that's wonderful!"
Upon hearing the news that Zhang Xiaoshan was indeed dead, everyone present was overjoyed and jubilant.
"Alright, I've done what I came to do, it's time to leave."
Speaking, Lei Gang got up to leave.
"Hmm?"
But just as he stood up, his figure suddenly froze, brows furrowed, looking astonished towards downstairs.
"What's wrong?"
Everyone's eyes followed Lei Gang's gaze, puzzled.
The next moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
On the artificial lake below the pavilion, a young man in white was walking step by step on the water, and not even a ripple formed on the surface.
"Is that a person?"
"Walking on the water?"
"Walking on water without causing a single ripple, at least a Qi Transformation Peak expert."
"Is there such a master in Qin Province?"
Lei Gang, who was about to leave, showed a hint of surprise, then became thrilled.
"Perfect timing; this outing has lacked any formidable opponents; too dull. I wonder how many punches this person can withstand?"
The man in white stood still on the lake surface, about twenty meters from the center of the lake.
"This person has a profound aura, but why can't I sense any energy fluctuation from him?"
"This?"
Lei Gang was somewhat amazed.
"Boom."
Suddenly, the previously calm artificial lake started to boil and churn violently, with waves several feet high surging, as if a tsunami was approaching.
The small pavilion in the center of the lake shook violently, as if it could collapse at any moment.
"What's happening?"
A group of wealthy businessmen was frightened to the point of collapsing.
"The man is going to strike."
Lei Gang stood ready.
The white figure in the lake flashed.
"Boom!"
All the windows of the small pavilion shattered in an instant, and the white figure ascended to the top floor.
Standing on the eaves, hands behind his back, he looked into the room with a majestic gaze.
With just a glance, these worldly-wise merchants were terrified, almost fainting.
"Who, who is he?"
"This, this?"
Everyone looked at this unexpected guest with fear and bewilderment.
"You barged in like this, isn't it too reckless?"
Lei Gang glared at the man in white with hostile eyes.
Though he couldn't sense the other's cultivation, the intense killing intent was unmasked, clearly here for revenge.
Suddenly, a wealthy businessman from Qin Province, who had pledged himself to the Northwest General Chamber of Commerce, knelt with a thud, kowtowing to the man in white like pounding garlic.
"Miracle Doctor Zhang, I, I was wrong. It was, it was Su Zhengjun who kidnapped my children, forcing me to comply, Miracle Doctor Zhang, spare me, have mercy."
"I, I didn't intend to betray you, please spare my life."
Recalling that day on Wei River where Zhang Xiaoshan killed Chen Jiao, this businessman started convulsing.
"Miracle Doctor Zhang?"
"Is he the true controller of White Dragon Commerce, Miracle Doctor Zhang?"
"Wasn't he dead? How is he still alive?"
In an instant, the wealthy businessmen from Northwest's five provinces were flabbergasted.
Su Zhengjun was also intimidated by Zhang Xiaoshan's presence.
"Master Lei, didn't you say your master killed him? But, this..."
The reason the Northwest General Chamber dared to come to Qin Province and aim to take over White Dragon Commerce was due to the widespread rumor that Zhang Xiaoshan was dead.
Now, the situation was dire.
Not to mention how Zhang Xiaoshan killed Chen Jiao that day, just the act of causing the artificial lake to churn with a single step was enough to intimidate everyone.
"What, disappointed to see me alive and return?"
Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the crowd with a playful and cold expression.
