Chapter 306: True Brothers (First Update)
Just as he was about to leave, a hoarse voice came from behind him—
"Hall Master Fang!"
Fang Yu stopped in his tracks, not looking back at him.
The disciples of the Liu Family hurriedly gathered, helping Liu Rushi to his feet.
However, Liu Rushi pushed them away and continued, "I am familiar with Jin City in Ze State... Let me go with you..."
"Big Brother!"
"Boss!"
The disciples of the Liu Family were almost in tears.
They knew that Jin City in Ze State was the Lu Family's territory, and the Liu Family had some connections with them. Going there was tantamount to delivering oneself to death.
Liu Rushi had sacrificed too much for this clan. Just infiltrating the Jin Family, he had endured so much humiliation, away from the light of day. Now, he was even willing to atone for his clan members' crimes! How could they have the heart to let him do this?
"Get lost!" cursed Liu Rushi, "Liu Feiyang has brought this upon himself; consider it a lesson bought."
With that, he moved forward.
Fang Yu turned around and said, "Aren't you afraid of dying?"
"If I were afraid of dying, I wouldn't have stood up," Liu Rushi replied, staring straight at Fang Yu.
This time, Fang Yu didn't respond to him and turned to keep walking.
One's spine should always be straightened by oneself, not by others.
Arriving at the school intersection, Fang Yu released his strong grip and said indifferently, "Jiang Xiaoxiao, go on."
"Brother-in-law..." Jiang Xiaoxiao was reluctant.
"Obey me."
She wanted to say more, but seeing Fang Yu's serious and stern expression, she squelched the last bit of courage she had.
"Okay."
Jiang Xiaoxiao turned and left.
Watching her retreating figure, Fang Yu murmured to himself: "It's better to be an ordinary person, after all."
...
The world is like a besieged city; those inside want to escape, and those outside want to enter.
Fang Yu glanced indifferently at Liu Rushi.
Suddenly, he asked, "Who is Mo Chengkong?"
Liu Rushi was startled and said, "You know of Mo Chengkong?"
Fang Yu remained silent.
Liu Rushi rarely paid attention to the power rankings, so he didn't know that Mo Chengkong was challenging Fang Yu on the list.
Seeing that Fang Yu didn't speak, Liu Rushi then said, "Seven days ago, I received an order from headquarters. They gave me a plan to get close to Jiang Wei and her sister, and when necessary, use them to lure the snake out of its hole... Whether you believe it or not, I didn't know that the person they wanted to lure out was you, Hall Master Fang!"
Fang Yu snorted lightly, dismissing the idea, "But you still made a move."
Liu Rushi did not deny it.
"The liaison told me to kill the target with all my might."
"Liaison?" Fang Yu asked, puzzled.
"Mo Chengkong."
Fang Yu's brow furrowed slightly.
The Dark Web is so vast; who could possibly know everyone involved? The only proof of identity is the token.
However...
Unexpectedly, Mo Chengkong turned out to be a member of the Dark Web.
Inside the Dark Web, almost no one did not know that "Iron Fist" was a bona fide member. Given that, why would Mo Chengkong attack one of his own?
And using such despicable and shameless tactics!
"I suspect that Mo Chengkong isn't his real name," Liu Rushi added.
Just like Iron Fist, some people prefer not to expose their real names to the public eye.
Fang Yu nodded indifferently, having already guessed as much.
After thinking for a moment—
Fang Yu took out his phone and dialed Chen Daotian's number.
Chen Daotian was surprised, as Fang Yu didn't usually call him this often, and asked:
"Brother Yu, what's the matter, any instructions?"
The newly-promoted to Martial Arts Seventh Layer Chen Daotian was in an exceptionally good mood.
Fang Yu got straight to the point, saying:
"Get ready to depart."
Upon hearing this, Chen Daotian on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, then said, "Isn't that a bit too hasty?"
Fang Yu said, "I'm indeed in a hurry, but... I have no choice."
"Alright! I'm coming to you!"
The two agreed on a meeting place.
Less than an hour later, Chen Daotian drove a luxury car and appeared in Fang Yu's and Liu Rushi's view.
As soon as he got out of the car, Fang Yu went up and patted his shoulder.
Chen Daotian turned his head to glance at Liu Rushi and asked, "Who is this?"
"A Dark Web member," Fang Yu replied.
"Yo-ho, someone brave enough to go to Ze State's Jin City with Brother Yu must be a good brother. I, Chen Daotian, have the utmost respect for such brothers!" Saying this, Chen Daotian gave him a thumbs up.
But—
Liu Rushi's face turned red with embarrassment.
After the two got in the car, Liu Rushi kept silent, silently listening to their conversation.
"Brother Yu, why are you suddenly in such a hurry?" Chen Daotian was puzzled.
At this point, Fang Yu's gaze turned cold as he said, "Someone touched our parents... tell me, can I wait?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Daotian's eyes widened, and he slammed the steering wheel hard, exclaiming:
"Damn! Which bastard dares to mess with our parents? I must tear him apart!"
Then, taking a pause, Chen Daotian said in surprise, "Could it be the Lu Family? That doesn't make sense."
"It must be someone else."
"Then who could it be?"
While the two were in doubt, Liu Rushi, who was sitting in the back seat, said, "Mo Chengkong."
Fang Yu quickly turned around, frowned, and asked, "You know it's him?"
"I remember, the liaison warned me that the mission cannot fail, and if it does, Plan B will be executed! Although I do not know what Plan B is. But judging from the mission of Plan A... it should be similar."
"The mission Liu Rushi carried out was Plan A, which was to kidnap the Jiang sisters. Plan B would probably be similar!"
Upon hearing this.
Chen Daotian shouted, "So it was Mo Chengkong's doing! This worthless scum, not daring to face Brother Yu head-on, resorts to such despicable and shameless tactics behind the scenes, utterly detestable!"
"Brother Yu, he wants to use the Lu Family to defeat you! Don't fall for it!"
Fang Yu remained silent, keeping quiet.
Seeing this, Chen Daotian sighed, slapped himself on the ear, "Almost forgot about our parents... Well, it's not about sharing the same day of birth, but willing to die on the same day, same month, same year! Let's go!"
Vrooom—
The car started.
Heading towards Jin City in Ze State.
What is a true brother.
This was probably it...
Throughout the journey, Liu Rushi's face felt numb, so numb that he felt nothing even when the wind hit his face.
Fang Yu looked ahead.
It was also time to face the Lu Family.
...
At the same time.
In Jin City of Ze State, at the Lu Family.
On the hill behind, all the disciples of the Lu Family gathered.
"Welcome Sect Leader's return from retreat!"
"Welcome Sect Leader's return from retreat!"
"Welcome Sect Leader's return from retreat!"
The chanting echoed across the sky.
Behind the gates, an elegant middle-aged man slowly emerged.
His body exuded a powerful aura, his face glowed with health.
This person was indeed the Sect Leader of the Lu Family, Lu Tianyuan.
Step by step, Lu Tianyuan walked out the gates, across the steps, to the forefront of the plaza, his gaze sweeping over the entire mountain range.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, clearly delighted and enjoying it immensely.
"The heavens bless the Lu Family!"
Abruptly opening his eyes, he declared loudly, "Everyone, it's been a long time!"
The eight Great Protectors stood at the forefront, bowing together: "Sect Leader, you, you have finally returned from retreat!"
Lu Tianyuan frowned, surveyed the crowd, and asked, "Where are the four Elders?"
