Chapter 325 - Ancient!

Huff——

As if a gentle breeze swept past.

In the quiet night sky, all of a sudden, a figure appeared.

He stood mid-air as if he were a deity.

Seeing this spectacle, the Dong Family members were incredibly excited.

“Ancient one!”

Dong Mingcheng bowed deeply once more.

In Zhou Yu’s eyes, there was nothing but coldness.

Primordial Spirit!

Only a Saint Realm expert could manifest their Primordial Spirit.

Clearly, a Saint Realm expert from the Dong Family had made a move.

The ancient Primorial Spirit had locked onto Zhou Yu.

He didn’t speak, but simply raised his hand and threw a punch directly at Zhou Yu.

In the black of night, it seemed as though an invisible gigantic fist shadow smashed down.

Zhou Yu’s eyes flickered with brilliance; he directly activated his Jin Dingtian Art and circulated the Gang Jin throughout his body, combining it with Dragon Gang Strength, and unleashed a punch in return.

Boom!

The area around Zhou Yu violently shook as if a bomb had exploded.

The ground nearby was covered in dense cracks, and the paving stones shattered completely.

Many members of the Dong Family were caught in the blast, emitting cries of pain and distress.

This terrifying wave even caused the walls of houses a hundred meters away to crack and countless glass vessels to shatter.

When everything finally calmed down, the entrance to the Dong Family estate had become a complete mess, as if it had been strafed by missiles.

Half of the Dong Family lay in pools of blood, while the other half, injured, retreated backward with faces filled with horror.

Seeing this scene, Dong Mingcheng’s face turned incredibly grim.

His Dong Family had suffered great losses this time.

However, as long as Zhou Yu could be killed, it would all be worth it…

Yet, at this moment, Zhou Yu’s figure appeared at the center of the explosion.

He seemed utterly unharmed.

Dong Mingcheng was stunned.

He hastily looked overhead, but the figure of the ancient one had vanished.

At this moment, a voice reached Dong Mingcheng’s ears.

“This young man’s cultivation is extraordinary; it’s best for the Dong Family to calm the situation and let it be.”

Dong Mingcheng’s body swayed, almost falling to the ground.

“What????”

“Ancient one, are you not a Saint Realm expert?

Can you really not even handle him?”

Dong Mingcheng was acting as if he had gone mad.

However, the ancient one did not reply again.

Dong Mingcheng was dumbfounded.

For a moment, his mind was in complete disarray.

He, Dong Mingcheng, in his fight for the position of Family Head of the Dong Family, had paid a huge price to beseech the aid of the ancient one to help him take down Zhou Yu.

As long as Zhou Yu was killed, avenging the third brother…

He could smoothly ascend to the position of the Dong Family Head.

But now, everything had turned to smoke and mirrors.

In an instant, Dong Mingcheng almost collapsed to the ground.

At this time, Zhou Yu strode towards Dong Mingcheng.

“For today’s events, the Dong Family must give me an explanation, or else, do not blame my merciless hand.”

In Zhou Yu’s eyes, there was a lethal gleam.

Dong Mingcheng shivered all over from fright.

“I…I concede defeat.”

“I am willing to compensate, to let bygones be bygones!”

Zhou Yu said indifferently,

“Letting bygones be bygones is not impossible.”

“I have two conditions.”

“First, the Dong Family must never use any excuse to trouble Shui Tianyue ever again.”

Dong Mingcheng replied with an ugly expression,

“I…agree.”

“Secondly, the Lin Family’s warehouse caught fire, which caused them heavy losses; the Dong Family must compensate tenfold.”

“Fine, my Dong Family will make compensation worth ten billion!”

“That’s not enough.”

Zhou Yu’s gaze was icy as he looked at Dong Mingcheng.

Dong Mingcheng’s expression was extremely grim.

“Twenty billion.”

“Alright, in addition, my Uncle Lin was injured in the fire; although it is nothing serious, he was profoundly shocked.

You, Dong Mingcheng, must personally go to the Lin Family, kneel down, and apologize to my uncle.”

“What????”

Dong Mingcheng shouted angrily.

“You want me to kneel and apologize to him?”

“Is there a problem?”

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes.

Dong Mingcheng trembled all over, finally remembering that he was the fish on the cutting board, and Zhou Yu was the knife.

“Fine.”

Dong Mingcheng agreed with difficulty.

“All promises must be fulfilled tomorrow.”

“If you dare to treat this matter lightly, the next time I come, I will raze the Dong Family to the ground.”

Zhou Yu turned and walked away.

After Zhou Yu left, Dong Mingcheng was helped up from the ground by the people around him.

He watched Zhou Yu’s retreating figure, growing more furious by the moment, and then angrily shook off the hands of those around him and rushed towards the Dong Family’s back courtyard.

At the gate of a small courtyard, he found the ancient one.

“Ancient one, I don’t understand, why?

Why didn’t you kill him?”

“Could it be that you couldn’t kill this youngster either?”

The ancient one fell silent for a moment before speaking.

“This young man has merged the Jin Dingtian Heavenly Master’s Jin Dingtian Art and Yongle Palace’s Dragon Gang Strength into one, in addition to cultivating the way of Qi Refinement; his strength has long surpassed the great Innate Realm.”

“Though he has not yet reached the Saint Realm, he is not far off.”

“By chance, I encountered some problems with my own cultivation recently and was injured, making it difficult to kill him.”

Dong Mingcheng was originally filled with rage, but upon hearing that the ancient one was injured, he immediately panicked.

The ancient one was the fundamental reason his Dong Family could rank within the top two of the seven major families—if anything happened to the ancient one, the Dong Family would inevitably decline rapidly.

This was a matter that could affect the fate of the family for hundreds of years.

“Ancient one, are you alright?

Is your injury severe?”

A hint of chill flashed through the ancient one’s eyes.

“It is of no concern.”

“Once I’ve recovered from my injury, I will personally slay him…”
