169: Yang Yi? Not familiar with him.

At the dining table, Han Cui flipped through a few stacks of documents: "Yuan Yuan, what is this?"

Chu Yuan put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Mom, this is a job I found for you."

"...You never take anything seriously."

"It's true. These companies now belong to our family. Mom, you can manage them if you want, or not if you don't. Either way, they can operate on their own."

Han Cui's hand trembled slightly: "This... where did this come from?"

"Of course, I earned it. Mom, don't worry. Even if these companies go under, it doesn't matter. You know, just a small portion of certain martial arts resources is enough to trade for countless amounts of money."

"But you need those martial arts resources for yourself. How can you use them... use them so wastefully?" Han Cui complained.

"Mom, when have you ever seen me fail to distinguish what's important?" Chu Yuan asked in return;

There was one thing he didn't mention: the blood pill and spirit nurturing pill mixed into this meal alone were already worth more than these companies.

Han Cui felt relieved. Indeed, Yuan Yuan had always known what he was doing...

Chu Ying leaned over to take a look. She recognized 'Manxiang Village' on the documents; the consumption level was not low for ordinary people, and it had many branches in Chenyang City... Brother just said, they all belong to their family now?

In an instant, Chu Ying felt as if piles of money were flying towards her...

But before she could imagine the future, she was tapped on the head by Han Cui's chopsticks;

"Eat your food properly."

Chu Ying rubbed her head: "Brother~ I..."

"Shut up."

"Oh... Tch~" Chu Ying expressed her dissatisfaction;

In fact, she wasn't short on money. Han Cui had never mistreated her growing up;

Especially after Chu Yuan gave money to Han Cui, Chu Ying's food, clothing, and daily expenses, while not necessarily the best, were definitely beyond reproach... The reason Han Cui didn't give her so much money was purely because she wasn't yet confident enough in her youngest daughter.

Sometimes, money can also destroy a person, especially at Chu Ying's age...

Chu Yuan ignored his younger sister's changing expressions and said: "Mom, I'm planning to leave tomorrow."

Han Cui was a bit surprised: "Isn't school not starting yet?"

"School doesn't start for another two days... There are some other matters."

"Alright..."

Actually, it wasn't anything urgent; it was just to vent a grudge from the past;

The wind and sand howled as Chu Yuan stood in mid-air and expanded his Divine Sense.

A moment later, a trace of surprise appeared at the corner of his mouth;

Beside him, the ink shadow moved silently, shuttling through the Void Realm as if teleporting...

In the dimly lit hall, several figures sat in a circle, conversing;

"The Crystal Fire Clan and the Nightmare Insect Clan have both put Chu Yuan on their kill lists, and the bounty is shockingly high! The organization has also told us to find an Opportunity to eliminate him. Wouldn't that mean getting three rewards for killing one person?"

"I didn't expect a Genius like Chu Yuan to appear in this era..."

"Looking at it this way, if we had known, we shouldn't have focused on Secret Realm No. 7 last time, but should have focused all our efforts on killing Chu Yuan!"

"Pfft... If we had known? If we had known those Ninth Realm experts would become Ninth Realm experts, we should have killed them when they were weak..."

"Tong Han, you are the only one among us who has had contact with Chu Yuan. Do you have any suggestions?"

Tong Han stared blankly into the dark passage. Upon hearing this, he shook his head: "No. Stop thinking about it. We probably can't beat him right now."

This was the Tong Family's trump card;

The great-grandfather had already anticipated that Great Qin would take action against him, so he had hollowed out a mountain in the wilderness and hidden it with a Formation;

Inside the mountain, there was a large Energy Gathering Array, a martial arts treasure vault containing the Tong Family's accumulation over many years, and... a group of direct descendants of the Tong Family who had been hidden away in advance!

All of this was done personally by the great-grandfather, so even with the capabilities of the Zhenwu Bureau, they hadn't been able to trace it to this place...

However, it had now become a stronghold for the Day of Vengeance.

"According to the intelligence released by those two clans, Chu Yuan only has the combat power of a Sixth Realm expert... at best, a strong Sixth Realm expert. If we join forces, we might not be unable to kill him, right?"

"Exactly. If we get the bounty from the Nightmare Insect Clan and the Crystal Fire Clan, we won't have to worry about Cultivation resources for at least several decades."

Tong Han couldn't be bothered to explain anything and just said: "If you want to go, go ahead. Either way, I'm not going."

"Are you afraid? Tong Han, you've become cowardly."

"Ah, yes, yes..."

Someone spoke up: "Can we capture someone close to Chu Yuan to threaten him?"

"How can we capture them? Chu Yuan's family information is highly classified by the Zhenwu Bureau. Last time we tried to investigate, we even lost a few insiders..."

"It doesn't necessarily have to be family... Doesn't he have a few people he's close to? This kind of young brat is most prone to being impulsive..."

"The person closest to him should be Wei Huang. Why don't you go and capture Wei Huang?"

"I'll capture your mother..."

"As for friends, there are some. According to the information the organization possesses, Chu Yuan is close with a girl named Tian Tian!"

"I remember there's also someone named Yang Yi?"

Someone spoke up in objection: "Yang Yi and Chu Yuan should just be ordinary classmates. Whether it was in Secret Realm No. 7 or on the Outer Heaven Battlefield, Chu Yuan never showed any special care for him... With this kind of relationship, I don't think Chu Yuan would care about his life or death."

"What you say makes sense. Then let's go and capture that girl named Tian Tian. As for Yang Yi... let's leave it. The organization's resources are limited right now, so we should keep the disturbance to a minimum..."

The person speaking had a look of desolation on his face;

The operation at Secret Realm No. 7 last time was a complete failure! Not only did they fall into a trap and get surrounded and killed, resulting in the loss of several Eighth Realm alien experts and causing the organization's reputation to decline... but it also invited retaliation from Great Qin!

After the Zhenwu Bureau ambushed those allied alien races, they also struck hard against the organization, killing several high-ranking members... I don't know where they found out about the hideouts of those high-ranking members...

The most frustrating part was that although Secret Realm No. 7 was successfully destroyed, the supply of blood-type Medicinal Pills in Great Qin didn't seem to become strained; instead, the prices actually dropped.

Two words to summarize: Wasted effort!

"That Yang Yi is truly stupid! He had such a prime Opportunity, yet his relationship with Chu Yuan isn't even as good as an outsider's!"

"Indeed, he couldn't seize the Opportunity even when it was right in front of him. Tsk tsk..."

Tong Han felt annoyed listening to them, so he walked towards the inner part of the passage, preparing to return to his room to Cultivate.

Just then, a faint, subtle cutting sound reached his ears!

His pupils constricted, and he instinctively turned to look back;

Then he saw a black line pierce out from the top of the hall! In a single leap, it pierced through someone's skull!

This familiar attack method made him immediately think of one person... But, how could it be?
