"Yes, Big Brother!"
Guo Chongtian nodded. He had entered the Zhong family villa to find it in ruins, with heavy casualties. Only Zhong Li remained, but he was no match for Guo Chongtian and was immediately choked by the neck and taken to the Guo family's dungeon.
Meanwhile, Guo Xiaotian and Guo Chongtian had entered a secluded, soundproofed secret room.
"Big Brother, what do we do now? King Feihu escaped, and we didn't complete the task that 'that person' assigned us!"
Thinking of this, Guo Chongtian felt a surge of apprehension.
"It's that pair, Lu Tianfeng and Lu Yang, father and son, who have once again foiled our plans. They are not just challenging the bottom line of our Guo family, but the bottom line of 'that person'. 'That person' will definitely not let them go. Perhaps this time, the Youdu Prison will be breached, and everyone hiding within Youdu Prison will become our captives!"
Guo Xiaotian was not angry, but rather spoke with immense excitement.
"But if 'that person' blames us, we'll have no choice but to die!"
Guo Chongtian continued.
"Don't worry. 'That person' currently has no one else to use, so they can only rely on our Guo family. Unless 'that person' kills everyone and removes all threats, only then will they come after us. But by then, who knows what the situation will be? Therefore, we must be prepared for both outcomes and not just surrender!"
A cold glint flickered in Guo Xiaotian's eyes. She knew all too well that in the eyes of 'that person', she was merely a disposable ant, ready to be crushed at any moment. It was only because she was useful now that she hadn't been trampled. The moment she ceased to be useful, she would be unhesitatingly crushed. When the cunning rabbit is dead, the hounds are cooked – that's the principle.
Guo Xiaotian had to speak these words in this secret room. The entire Guo family, Guo Xiaotian wasn't sure if there were informants of 'that person'. If their rebellious intentions were discovered, they might be killed immediately.
"Big Brother, I understand. I will prepare!"
"The person we've been secretly raising might be able to contend with 'that person'. However, they are not yet completely under our command. We can only wait for time. Once they finish taking these medicines and are completely obedient to us, we will no longer fear 'that person'!"
Guo Chongtian looked at his elder brother and nodded.
"Yes, increase the dosage. This matter must be expedited. If 'that person' discovers it, we will only have a dead end, and a very gruesome death at that!"
Guo Xiaotian nodded.
...
At this time, King Feihu had been settled into Youdu Prison. After Lu Yang's treatment, King Feihu's body was no longer in any serious condition, but his cultivation had been completely lost. His current body was that of an old man, much like Old Spirit Sparrow King.
"Tiger, you were so powerful in eating the wind and clouds for so many years. Who would have thought that in your old age, you'd be like me, an old woman!"
Old Spirit Sparrow King sat beside King Feihu and spoke indifferently.
"Alas, I never expected them to be so despicable. Not only did they attack me, but they didn't spare the rest of the Zhong family. I'm sorry, little sister, I couldn't protect your granddaughter!"
King Feihu sighed, feeling an overwhelming sorrow in his heart.
"This is fate, it's not your fault!"
"I am already very grateful that you took him in for so long. Now, our only hope rests with King Heilong. After all, it was King Heilong who saved the day that time!"
Old Spirit Sparrow King consoled King Feihu.
Though she said this, Old Spirit Sparrow King was also filled with extreme grief. Her granddaughter was only eight years old, and she couldn't accept that those damnable scoundrels had killed her. How could Old Spirit Sparrow King, an elderly woman, possibly accept this?
But Old Spirit Sparrow King finally gritted her teeth and held on.
"Sister!"
"Don't worry, Sister will personally avenge you!"
Lingque Wang Cheng Wanyun's eyes were filled with coldness. She wished she could storm into the Guo family right now and tear Guo Xiaotian limb from limb. However, her current cultivation was only at the Grandmaster realm, and the gap in strength with Guo Xiaotian was too vast. She was no match for Guo Xiaotian.
"King Feihu, Old Spirit Sparrow King, I understand how you feel, but now you should focus on cultivating here properly. Once your strength improves, then you can seek revenge from the Guo family!"
Lu Tianfeng said directly to everyone.
"Mm!"
King Feihu and Old Spirit Sparrow King both nodded.
"Tiger, have you ever heard that the cultivation techniques of the Four Leaders were actually a portion of a great expert's own techniques, divided into four? If the cultivation techniques of the Four Leaders can be combined, it can lead directly to the Earth Immortal realm!"
"However, over the years, very few people have known this secret. I deduced it by chance from ancient texts!"
Lingque King said to King Feihu. She had been exceptionally intelligent since childhood, and the Cheng family possessed ancient texts dating back thousands of years. Some belonged to the Cheng family, and some were found from other places. All of them contained secrets concerning their Cheng family and the Four Leaders' families, as well as many aspects of the martial arts world.
Old Spirit Sparrow King loved to study and always delved into these matters. Finally, in a book that had turned yellow, she discovered these secrets. However, the matter was too incredible, so Old Spirit Sparrow King never spoke of it. She had only thought of the method of marrying into the Heilong King's family. Whichever generation's descendants could successfully form a marriage alliance, they might be able to obtain this secret.
When Old Spirit Sparrow King revealed this secret, everyone was extremely surprised. They never imagined that the martial arts of their Four Leaders harbored such a great secret. This was simply a world-shattering secret.
"Old Sparrow, is what you're saying true?"
King Feihu asked Old Spirit Sparrow King in shock.
"Whether it's true or not, I'm not sure. But that book does record it that way. My feelings at the time were exactly the same as yours. Afterward, to prevent others from discovering this earth-shattering secret, I burned that book. This secret has always remained in my heart!"
"If you want to verify it, you can pass our Lingque King Cheng family's cultivation technique to Lu Yang and test it out!"
Old Spirit Sparrow King said to Lu Yang.
"Pass it to me? How?"
Lu Yang asked in great shock upon hearing Old Spirit Sparrow King's words.
"Wanyun, the situation has come to this, it's up to you to decide!"
Old Spirit Sparrow King looked at Lingque King Cheng Wanyun and asked kindly.
"Grandmother, I... I'm not ready yet!"
Cheng Wanyun lowered her head and said shyly.
