Chapter 358 - Formation and Capture!

Jiang Fengnian’s heart was filled with doubt.

Zhou Yu was strong, but even he couldn’t hold them back, could Zhou Yu?

He was more formidable than himself?

However, seeing Zhou Yu so confident, and out of concern for his own dignity, he didn’t say much else.

“Alright, I’ll arrange it immediately to lure out Old Ghost He.”

Zhou Yu and the Zhao Family members left the Wu Cabinet Prison.

On the way, Zhao Jianfeng said:

“Zhou Yu, do you have any important matters these next few days?”

Zhou Yu asked:

“Old Zhao, what’s the matter?”

“I was thinking, if you don’t have anything pressing, why not stay at my house for a few days?”

“It would also be a good time for Fei’er to come back and stay.”

“I’m afraid that Old Ghost He may attempt another sneak attack these next few days.”

After thinking it over, Zhou Yu said:

“Old Zhao, I need to head back to Yancheng for a bit.

Since returning from Haizhou, I still haven’t been home.”

“If that’s the case, never mind then.”

Zhou Yu chuckled and said:

“Old Zhao, don’t worry.

I will speak to Deputy Minister Jiang in a bit and ask the Wu Cabinet to assign protection for you, there won’t be any issues.”

Before he could finish, Zhou Yu’s phone suddenly rang.

It was Lin Chaodong calling.

“Xiaoyu, haven’t you returned from Haizhou yet?”

Zhou Yu hurriedly said:

“Grandpa, I’ve already come back.

I’ve been in the provincial city these past few days, got held up with some matters, and haven’t had the chance to return home yet.”

“That so, it’s good you haven’t come back.”

“The bidding for the Subway Line 10 is about to start soon, and Luoluo has been preparing the documents all this time.”

“Although this project has already been secured for us, we still have to give it our all.”

“She’s almost ready, and probably will head to the provincial city in a few days.”

“At that time, you should receive her.

This project will be in you two’s hands.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu immediately said:

“Okay, Grandpa, rest assured.”

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Jianfeng curiously asked:

“Zhou Yu, what’s going on?

Something came up?”

Zhou Yu chuckled: “I was planning to head back to Yancheng, but now there’s no need.”

Hearing this, Zhao Jianfeng was immediately overjoyed.

“That’s great, come over to my place these next few days, let’s have a good drink together, just the two of us.”

“Sure.” Zhou Yu laughed.

Once they returned to Zhao Jianfeng’s old villa, Zhao Jianfeng ordered a big table full of dishes, and they all drank merrily.

It wasn’t until Old Zhao became staggeringly drunk that the meal ended.

In the evening, Zhou Yu went alone to a secluded spot outside the villa to practice the Demonic Roar.

He was still very interested in this cultivation technique.

The old man had once told him that this type of sound wave technique was much more useful than the typical fist and kick techniques.

Because a sound wave technique could be combined with Divine Sense to produce miraculous effects.

The old man had also taught him how to combine them.

For the next two days, Zhou Yu devoted himself entirely to practicing the Demonic Roar.

In just two days, he had cultivated the Demonic Roar to the minor achievement stage and had also integrated the Divine Sense attack into it.

Two days later, he received a phone call from Jiang Fengnian.

The trap for “Ghost Shadow Step” Old Ghost He had been set.

Zhou Yu went to the arranged location in the southern suburbs of the provincial city, a forest.

Upon Zhou Yu’s arrival, Wu Yue led nearly twenty Wu Cabinet experts gathered there, and even Zhao Heng was present.

Zhou Yu expressed his doubts:

“Deputy Minister Jiang, why make such big preparations?

Will Old Ghost He really come?”

Jiang Fengnian explained:

“These people are here to set up the formation.

Once they take their positions, they should be able to mask the aura with the formation’s energy.”

“Formation?”

“Why use a formation?”

“And what kind of formation can mask the aura of so many people?”

Faced with Zhou Yu’s questions, Jiang Fengnian sighed.

“It’s a necessary measure.”

“Only by using a formation and having Zhao Heng as bait to attract attention, might we have a chance to hold Old Ghost He long enough to capture him.”

“Even with that, it’s still only possible if Old Ghost He is arrogant enough.”

Zhou Yu sighed in his heart.

Jiang Fengnian’s idea was good, but their formation was far too rudimentary.

If Old Ghost He couldn’t even detect this, how could he have evaded the Wu Cabinet’s pursuit for ten years?

However, Zhou Yu found it hard to voice these concerns, as it would wound their pride.

Shaking his head, he chuckled:

“Deputy Minister Jiang, there’s no need for all this trouble; just have your people withdraw.

Having Uncle Zhao here is enough.”

“As long as he shows up, I will catch him.”

Jiang Fengnian hesitated to respond.

“You don’t understand his speed, his movement technique is really fast…”

“Deputy Minister Jiang, trust me.” Zhou Yu smiled.

Jiang Fengnian sighed.

With the discussion reaching this point, he found it difficult to object further.

He waved his hand, signaling Wu Yue to lead the retreat.

At that moment, several dozen people ran over from a distance, led by a woman.

She looked puzzled.

“Deputy Minister Jiang, what’s happening?

Weren’t we supposed to set up the formation?

Why are we retreating now?”

Jiang Fengnian smiled wryly and introduced her.

“Zhou Yu, this is Lu Xiuying, the leader of the Wu Cabinet’s first group.”

“Group Leader Lu, this is Zhou Yu.”

“The plan to capture Old Ghost He has changed, and Zhou Yu will be personally responsible for the capture.”

Lu Xiuying sized up Zhou Yu.

“You’re the one who killed the Heavenly Master Jin Dingtian?”

Zhou Yu nodded.

“That’s me.”

“Mr.

Zhou, how do you plan to capture Old Ghost He alone?

Do you realize that he is someone who managed to escape from Deputy Minister Jiang?”

Zhou Yu smiled and said:

“I’m aware.”

“Yet you still…”

Lu Xiuying grew somewhat irritated.

She couldn’t stand arrogant and self-aggrandizing people.

This time, for the capture of Old Ghost He, the Wu Cabinet’s Qinzhou branch had put forth its best, and now they were to withdraw just because of one person’s word?

Jiang Fengnian, well aware of Lu Xiuying’s temperament, interrupted her.

“Group Leader Lu, let’s just do as Zhou Yu says this time.”

Lu Xiuying huffed.

“Then we shall await your good news.”

With that, she turned and left.

Jiang Fengnian said with a wry smile:

“Group Leader Lu is straightforward, Zhou Yu, don’t take it to heart.”

Zhou Yu replied with a smile: “It’s no bother.”

After Lu Xiuying and the others left, Zhou Yu asked:

“Deputy Minister Jiang, when will Old Ghost He arrive?”

Jiang Fengnian was about to speak.

Suddenly, a sinister laugh echoed from the surrounding woods.

“Hahaha, are you all waiting for me?”

“As you wish, I have arrived!”
