169: Chapter 169 Granny Long

The next moment, a flash of coldness streaked through Chen Hu's eyes. He thought to himself, "It was one thing for you to abandon me when I was an infant, but now that I've finally grown up, you're worried I'll threaten your other son and are sending someone to cripple me. Do you really think I'm made of mud?"

Thinking of this, a murderous intent burst forth from Chen Hu's body. He had already made a decision.

Once he captured the person sent by that crazy woman, he would force her to reveal the crazy woman's whereabouts and then take ruthless revenge.

After a while.

Chen Hu, having calmed his emotions, continued to open cards.

He opened a connection card, obtained a D-grade connection, and immediately discarded it.

He opened an identity card.

He obtained the identity of a Martial Artist in the Marrow Refining Realm.

Chen Hu immediately used this identity and transformed into a black-robed old man in his sixties.

After quickly reading through the other person's memories.

A strange expression appeared on Chen Hu's face.

This was because the black-robed old man's identity was quite special.

He was actually a member of the Heavenly Mystery Sect of the Great Xia Kingdom.

The hidden dragon ranking was something created by this Heavenly Mystery Sect.

It was intended to increase internal strife among the younger generation of the Great Yong Kingdom.

It is worth mentioning that although the Heavenly Mystery Sect was a Jianghu Sect.

It had a close relationship with the royal Family of the Great Xia Kingdom.

The Great Xia Kingdom was a new Dynasty.

It had been founded only 109 years ago.

After over a hundred years of recuperation, the current Great Xia Kingdom could be described as having strong troops and sturdy horses.

Upon discovering that the neighboring Great Yong Kingdom showed signs of impending collapse.

They began to scheme quietly.

With the support of the Great Xia Kingdom.

The Heavenly Mystery Sect sent a large number of spies to infiltrate the Great Yong Kingdom and collect vast amounts of intelligence.

It was precisely because of this that they were able to create the hidden dragon ranking.

The identity of the Marrow Refining old man that Chen Hu drew was one of the personnel responsible for compiling the hidden dragon ranking.

Exiting the Marrow Refining old man's identity.

Chen Hu continued to open cards.

He opened a treasure hunting card and obtained one treasure location.

He opened a Yuan Stone card and obtained 10 Low Grade Yuan Stones.

He opened a soul stone card and obtained 10 soul stones.

He opened a martial arts cultivation card and obtained 100 days of cultivation.

After choosing to use it.

The 100 days of cultivation appeared within Chen Hu's body.

The next moment, this 100 days of cultivation was injected directly into his Dantian.

With the injection of this cultivation, his already saturated True Qi could only be constantly compressed.

A quarter of an hour later.

The 100 days of cultivation were completely integrated into his own True Qi.

After compression, the True Qi was several times stronger.

Chen Hu mobilized his True Qi to refine his heart.

He discovered that his heart, which had already been refined to its limit, was strengthened once again under the refinement of the brand-new True Qi.

A quarter of an hour later.

Chen Hu withdrew his True Qi.

He took out the cultivation multiplier card.

With the blessing of the good luck card, he obtained a 10x cultivation effect.

Taking a soul stone in his hand, Chen Hu activated the "Spirit Refining Art" to absorb it.

An hour later.

Chen Hu received the ten-fold cultivation effect.

Then, a stream of pure Soul Power was injected into his Primordial Spirit, and after being absorbed by the Primordial Spirit, it grew quite a bit stronger.

Chen Hu made a rough estimation.

If he could draw a ten-fold cultivation effect every day.

He would be able to reach the Middle Stage of the Primordial Spirit within ten days at most.

The next morning.

After eating breakfast, Chen Hu headed toward the Fierce Tiger Gang's General Hall.

Not long after.

The leader of the Iron Blood Society, Deputy Gang Leader Xiao Yue, brought a roster to surrender.

Chen Hu received him warmly and invited him to serve as the third vice Gang leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang.

Subsequently, the Fierce Tiger Gang began sending people to take over the territory of the Iron Blood Society.

At the same time, Chen Hu received good news.

That was that Gang Leader Ji Feng of the Three Blade Gang had returned to Linjiang Prefecture after attending his friend's son's wedding.

Thus, he used his Earth Escape Divine Ability to arrive at the Three Blade Gang.

He used a loyalty card to enslave Gang Leader Ji Feng.

After asking Gang Leader Ji Feng how well he controlled the Three Blade Gang.

Learning that the entire Gang was under his control, Chen Hu left.

Once the Fierce Tiger Gang had initially digested the territory of the Iron Blood Society, he would have Gang Leader Ji Feng lead the Three Blade Gang to join.

Just as the members of the Fierce Tiger Gang were busily taking over the personnel and assets of the Iron Blood Society.

Granny Long arrived in Linjiang Prefecture.

Originally, she had thought it would take some time to find information about that Chen Hu.

Unexpectedly, she just randomly asked someone and learned of Chen Hu's news.

Originally, Chen Hu was not that famous.

But since he had made it onto the hidden dragon ranking.

Many people were talking about him, so his fame had expanded even further.

Upon learning that Chen Hu was the leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang.

Granny Long quietly arrived near the General Hall of the Fierce Tiger Gang to keep watch.

At noon.

Chen Hu walked out of the General Hall of the Fierce Tiger Gang.

Accompanying him were Deputy Gang Leader Xiao Yue, Gao Hangzhou, and Leader Gao Zhan.

He was treating them today, taking the three vice Gang leaders to a restaurant for a meal.

Granny Long, hiding nearby, saw Chen Hu's appearance clearly and couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Because she discovered that Chen Hu was carved from the same mold as the Master was in his youth.

"Could this Chen Hu be the Master's illegitimate son?"

Granny Long thought to herself, and at the same time, she understood why her Madam wanted her to secretly cripple Chen Hu and do it discreetly.

Madam Zhao's maiden Family name was Qin.

Originally, they were also a Blood Refining Family.

Unfortunately, they had declined by the generation of Madam Zhao's grandfather.

The foundation of a Blood Refining Family was not ordinary.

Without a Blood Refining expert to hold the fort, they would naturally be coveted by other forces.

To protect the Qin Family.

Madam Zhao learned that Zhao Jianqing, the successor of Mingjian Villa, was training in the Jianghu.

Thus, Madam Zhao deliberately created a chance encounter.

Later, she even arranged a scene where a beauty saves a hero.

Consequently, the two fell in love.

And without being married, they tasted the forbidden fruit and conceived Chen Hu.

Later, Madam Zhao successfully married into Mingjian Villa.

Under the protection of Mingjian Villa, no one dared to target the Qin Family again.

Granny Long was originally a maid of Madam Zhao's mother; after Madam Zhao's mother passed away, she had always stayed by Madam Zhao's side.

Later, when Madam Zhao married into Mingjian Villa, she followed along and became Madam Zhao's confidante.

Her own cultivation had also reached the Late-stage Refining Viscera.

After Granny Long saw Chen Hu's appearance, she slightly leaked a wisp of her Aura.

Chen Hu successfully captured it.

He calmly activated his Eye of Insight.

Granny Long's identity information and cultivation information also appeared in his mind.

Seeing that glaring -50 friendliness rating.

Chen Hu immediately judged that this old woman must be the Organ Refining expert sent by his biological mother to cripple him.

However, looking at her, she had no intention of making a move for the time being.

Chen Hu had a plan in mind.

After eating and drinking to his heart's content at the restaurant.

Chen Hu said goodbye to the three vice Gang leaders.

He didn't go to the General Hall of the Fierce Tiger Gang but instead walked toward his home.

At the same time, Chen Hu, who was monitoring Granny Long with his Spiritual Sense, discovered that the other party was indeed following him quietly.

"Heh!"

He sneered inwardly.

He had to give the other party a surprise.

Returning home.

Chen Hu waited silently for the other party to make a move.

But strangely.

Although the other party was right near his residence, she never made a move.

Chen Hu felt that she intended to make a move at night.

Time flew by, and it was already late at night.

A black shadow landed silently in the Chen Family's courtyard.

After listening intently for a moment.

She headed straight for the backyard.

Just then.

An invisible barrier appeared, shrouding the entire backyard.

Swish, swish, swish!

Shadows flashed, and three people suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

One was a plump, outstandingly beautiful young woman.

One was a cold-tempered, stunningly beautiful woman holding a long sword.

And there was another handsome young man wearing armor and holding a bright silver spear.

The three of them unleashed their full Auras, pressing down on Granny Long simultaneously.

For a moment, she felt the air around her body become exceptionally viscous.

The next moment, Granny Long exclaimed, "A Mid Organ-Refining Realm, a Late-stage Refining Viscera, and even a Blood Refining Realm, how is this possible?"

Discovering that there were actually three experts hidden in a small courtyard, Granny Long was somewhat dumbfounded.

"Wrong, there is also me, an Early Stage Organ Refining!"

Chen Hu saw, opened the door, flashed into the courtyard, and looked at Granny Long with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
