Chapter 1092 Total Annihilation
Chapter 1092 Total Annihilation
Duan San Niang had a large stain on her body that had to be cleaned.
Looking at his sons, none of them were promising. They spent their days eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring. He tried to help them improve, but they were all like puddles of mud, unable to grow tall.
Just as Master Duan was frowning in worry, his advisor Lu Fang strode into the study.
Master Duan's eyes lit up immediately.
"How did things go?"
Lu Fang looked exhausted, but his expression was very excited.
He glanced around and, seeing no one else, leaned closer to Master Duan and whispered something.
"The one from the Zhengyi Sect has already accepted the token and agreed to help. Please rest assured, Second Master."
Master Duan let out a soft breath, leaned back in his chair.
"Good, Lu Fang, you have done a great service. You are truly worthy of being my right-hand man."
Lu Fang frowned and asked, "Second Master, after Third Sister is gone, how will the business over there be managed?"
Master Duan nodded: "No one is capable of this task for the time being, so I will have to trouble you, brother, to hold it up for a while."
Lu Fang was secretly delighted. This meant he now had real power, which was much better than just giving advice to others without any official title.
However, he still looked troubled.
"Second Master, Third Madam's businesses are numerous and complex, but difficult to manage. I wonder..."
Master Duan waved his hand: "Hey, how could your methods, Lu Fang, be inferior to even Third Sister's? You can handle it with confidence."
Lu Fang was, after all, an outsider, so he was still very cautious in order to put Master Duan at ease.
"Second Master, why don't we have the eldest son come with me? That way we can discuss this further."
Master Duan said angrily.
"Don't mention that bastard. He only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun, living a life of debauchery. He has no idea how hard it is to earn a living. He even dug up the Duan family's coffers."
Lu Fang knew what Master Duan was thinking. He was afraid that if his eldest son went away, there would be no one to keep him in check, and he would ruin his family business and squander all his wealth.
I'm just afraid...
"We've been brothers for years, so just go for it."
Master Duan waved his hand generously.
Actually, he had no other choice. With a business of this scale, it was something that most people couldn't handle.
It's alright with Third Sister around, but if Third Sister leaves, looking at the entire Duan family, there's no one who can handle things.
But Master Duan, now over fifty, can no longer keep up in terms of energy and physical strength.
Lu Fang nodded vigorously: "Second Master, rest assured, Lu Fang will do his utmost."
Whether Lu Fang's words were true or false, without Duan San Niang, half of the Duan family's business would fall into Lu Fang's hands.
This was Duan Erye's predicament, but he could only use this method to temporarily maintain stability.
Tsuruta Gen, stationed in Fuan Prefecture, had not received any useful news for a long time, and could not help but feel anxious.
Ye Haishan and his apprentice, whom he had sent men to keep an eye on, remained calmly on the ship. No one knew what good things were on the ship that kept the two of them from leaving for even a moment.
The elder of his own sect, Onijuu Shingo, has been gone for more than ten days without any information. He wonders if he has made any progress.
A few days ago, Tsuruta Gen's disciple, Kuroda Shi, asked to go out of the city to track down bandits, saying that he had some clues.
Five days have passed since then, and there has been no news at all.
It seems that his daughter, Tsuruta Cho, is truly gone. So many days have passed, and she is still nowhere to be found. Tsuruta Gen is certain that she is no longer alive.
However, the daughter was carrying a valuable treasure of the sect.
He could give up his daughter, but he had to find the precious treasure; otherwise, his position as sect leader would be in jeopardy.
This treasure is called the Meteor of No Thought. It can deliver a fatal blow without the cultivator's awareness of it.
It can truly be called the sect's most prized treasure.
It is an ancient treasure passed down through generations and has always been kept by the sect leader.
Tsuruta Gen grew angrier and angrier, and even more frustrated. He never expected to be outmaneuvered on his own turf by an unknown kid.
Sending Oni-maru Shingo to find the treasure was a last resort.
Within the sect, only he could sense the aura of a powerful treasure within a certain distance.
However, it remains to be seen whether Shingo Onizuka would threaten to abdicate if he were to actually obtain this treasure.
Unbeknownst to him, Tsuruta Gen transferred his resentment to Ye Haishan.
This person is meddling in other people's business, taking action for an unknown nobody, and turning against me. It's truly outrageous.
But there was nothing they could do about him. Their sect was not as large as his, and their methods were not much better. They could only sigh helplessly.
Let's not mention that Tsuruta Gen was sulking.
Onijuu Shingo has arrived in Luocheng. He searched very carefully and knew the importance of the Wunian Meteor to the Wunianliu Sect, which was also his opportunity to rise to power.
Previously, with her disciple Tsuruta Cho and her father Tsuruta Gen watching over her, she had no chance at all, but this time it's different.
The loss of the Meteorite of No Thought was the fault of his sect leader, Tsuruta Gen. If he could find the treasure, then his position as sect leader would be his...
Just thinking about it excited Shingo Oni-maru, making him even more focused on finding the treasure.
Relying on his secret technique, he can sense the appearance of the thoughtless meteor within a hundred feet.
As long as Gui Juan Zhenwu takes Fu'an Prefecture as the center and slowly wanders around this territory, he will eventually discover the sect's treasure.
His plan was very practical: to be patient and gradually expand the search area. If there was nothing in Fu'an City, he would head north, cross the river, and head to Luo City.
There's no need to go south; people won't go to the pirates' den.
If there is no more in Los Angeles, continue northwest along this line.
In short, Shingo Onizuka will not return to the island until he finds the Meteor of No Thought.
Sooner or later he will find this treasure that is the most prized possession of the sect.
Lu Fang, the advisor of the second master of the Duan family in Luocheng, made a trip to Tianshan and invited Yan Jin, a disciple of Elder Yan Su of the Zhengyi Sect, to come down the mountain.
He is one of the best among the second-generation disciples of the Zhengyi Sect.
He accepted the tokens from the Duan family brought by Lu Fang, packed his things, and then went down the mountain.
The Duan family's request was simple: rescue Duan Enji's daughter, Duan Jingqiu, from a group of bandits, and then dispose of her in a secluded place.
Of course, they were to be killed along with the bandits.
This wouldn't take much effort for a cultivator from a secluded sect.
In this way, he could have no further ties with the Duan family from his early years, which meant that Yan Jin had completely severed his worldly ties.
When he tracked down the Thirteen Horse Caravan based on the information given by Lu Fang, he found that Duan Jingqiu had already left.
However, given the Duan family's request, he naturally wouldn't let these bandits go.
Just as the more than seventy members of the Thirteen Horse Caravan crossed the Ling River and arrived at the grounds of Yanxin Prefecture, Yan Jin caught up with them.
On a pitch-black night, more than seventy bandits were wiped out by Yan Jin with his bare hands.
The warhorses scattered, and the seventy-one men, without any wounds, had all had their breaths cut off by Yan Jin.
At this point, of the thirteen caravans that roamed the Luoyang area, only Song Chen and Xu Qi, who never returned, survived.
By daybreak, Yan Jin had already arrived in Luoxi City.
Lu Fang has already explained all the paths and objectives. Yan Jin only needs to follow the clues and find a way to make Duan Jingqiu disappear or die suddenly from an illness, and that will complete the transaction.
