Chapter 179 Breach of Agreement
Hu Tian looked up sharply, his face turning ashen.
Feng Yun Kun was enveloped in an aura of malevolence, his vitality being devoured by the baleful energy. He looked as if he had aged ten years.
"Teacher, what's wrong?" Hu Tian asked, his voice trembling.
Feng Yun Kun performed a quick calculation, his expression changing drastically. "This is bad. The White Tiger Sha has been broken, and I've suffered a backlash!"
Hu Tian almost jumped out of his skin in shock. "What? The White Tiger Sha was cultivated using the power of Fenglong Mountain. After the feng shui master hired by the Guo family interfered, it should have nurtured a Sha Tiger. How could it be broken? That's a Sha Tiger!"
Feng Yun Kun knew the significance of the Sha Tiger's position. He couldn't help but wonder if he had miscalculated, shaking his head vaguely, but a bad premonition gnawed at him. "We'll know when the subordinate returns."
Ten minutes later, the subordinate rushed into the room in a panic. "Elder Yun Kun, something terrible has happened. The Guo family is not only unharmed but has also broken the White Tiger Sha!"
Both Feng Yun Kun and Hu Tian's faces changed.
Feng Yun Kun asked sharply, "Who is the feng shui master who broke the White Tiger Sha?"
The subordinate uttered a name that sent a chill down their spines: "Chen Xuan!"
The two were stunned once again.
Hu Tian stammered, "Ah? Then who was the feng shui master who previously attempted to break the Sha?"
Feng Yun Kun and Hu Tian exchanged bewildered glances, utterly confused.
The subordinate whispered, "It is said to be Master Lai, whom the Guo family invited from Hong Kong."
Fury surged to the top of Feng Yun Kun and Hu Tian's heads!
Then, a cold glint flashed in Feng Yun Kun's eyes. "Hu Tian, you will go there later."
"Teacher, what do you plan to do?"
"Eliminate Chen Xuan!"
"But Chen Xuan has already broken the White Tiger Sha. His feng shui and mystic arts must be incredibly powerful." Hu Tian was beginning to waver.
Feng Yun Kun gritted his teeth. "No need to be afraid. Feng shui and mystic arts are not skills for killing. He may have broken the White Tiger Sha, but he may not be good at fighting. Besides, after suffering this backlash, I probably won't live for more than two days."
"Master... it's all my fault for harming you!" Hu Tian was filled with grief.
"It has nothing to do with you."
Feng Yun Kun waved his hand, his gaze fixed. "Good for you, Chen Xuan. Not only did you kill my junior brother, but you also obstructed my plans. If I don't kill you, I will not rest in peace."
...
"Husband, that kid just dug a few holes, and it was our Guo family's servants who dug them. Then he did nothing else. I don't think the breaking of the White Tiger Sha has anything to do with him. How can you just give him the Thousand-Year Snow Spirit Fruit like that?" Yu Qiaoyun said, cracking melon seeds with a pout, clearly displeased.
"Alright, I have this under control," Guo Yang said, waving his hand dismissively as he recalled Master Lai's attitude towards Chen Xuan earlier.
"No, this Thousand-Year Snow Spirit Fruit absolutely cannot be given to that brat. My brother said he needs this Thousand-Year Snow Spirit Fruit." Yu Qiaoyun's pretty face suddenly turned grim.
"But I've already promised them. You don't know, that Master Lai..." Guo Yang said helplessly.
"Husband, don't interfere with this matter. Leave it to me. How can I not handle a greedy young brat like him?" Yu Qiaoyun said, then turned and swaggered towards the hall.
Guo Yang felt a sense of unease for some reason and could only sigh.
...
"Master Chen, this is a check for twenty million. Please don't find it lacking."
Yu Qiaoyun entered the living room and placed a twenty-million check in front of Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan frowned. "Madam Yu, what do you mean by this?"
Yu Qiaoyun said with a fake smile, "Master Chen, although you didn't do anything, the White Tiger Sha was indeed broken while you were performing your rituals. We Guo family will not go back on our word. Twenty million is not a small sum, it's double Master Lai's fee. You should be content."
Chen Xuan immediately understood what was happening, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Bai Yong roared in anger, "Your Guo family had promised beforehand. How can you go back on your word?"
Yu Qiaoyun's expression instantly turned gloomy. "One can eat anything, but one cannot speak carelessly. You only dug pits for an afternoon and did nothing else. The twenty million our Guo family is offering is more than generous. Don't push your luck."
Bai Yong was almost infuriated by this ignorant woman.
If it weren't for Chen Xuan, the entire Guo family would have been dead by now. Truly, ignorance was bliss.
Master Lai secretly shook his head. No wonder the once prosperous Guo family had declined, and now they needed outside help to deal with enemies. It was likely due to the Guo family's lack of foresight!
If it were him, he would gladly give all his wealth to Chen Xuan to win his friendship. Yet, the Guo family was being stingy over a spiritual medicine and trying to renege on their promise!
Chen Xuan said coldly, "Aren't you afraid I'll retaliate against your Guo family?"
"Retaliate? While our Guo family might not be doing well in the feng shui world, it's because all our focus has shifted to other areas. In business, politics, and the military, our Guo family is thriving. If you want to retaliate against us, take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Do you have that kind of power?"
Yu Qiaoyun was extremely arrogant. "Furthermore, I'm not afraid to tell you that one of our clan elders is a bodyguard to Commander Wei of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade. Do you dare to touch our Guo family? If you dare to lay a single finger on my Guo family, the Yanhuang Iron Brigade will destroy you!"
Master Lai chuckled.
With Chen Xuan's abilities, he could silently perform rituals to eliminate the entire Guo family, and even the Yanhuang Iron Brigade might not be able to find out.
This woman dared to be so brazen?
Was she seeking death?
However, a thought crossed his mind, and a hint of joy appeared. Wasn't this a good opportunity to curry favor with Master Chen?
If he could make Master Chen happy and have him accept him as a disciple, he would be making a huge profit!
Master Lai quickly said earnestly, "Master Chen, I've met the provincial secretary of Jiangnan Province a few times and can speak with him. Shall I call the provincial secretary?"
Chen Xuan knew what Master Lai was thinking.
However, the fact that Master Lai could even invite the provincial secretary was astonishing.
"No need, Master Lai," Chen Xuan said with a smile.
Master Lai was greatly disappointed.
Chen Xuan turned to Yu Qiaoyun and smiled. "Madam Yu, you're referring to Wei Chang Geng's personal bodyguard?"
"Precisely!"
"Are you scared?"
"I'm so scared!"
Chen Xuan smiled and directly tore the twenty-million check, throwing it at Yu Qiaoyun's face.
"You dare to tear it?"
Yu Qiaoyun was stunned at first, then her face turned incredibly cold. Enraged, she exclaimed, "You, a penniless beggar dressed in rags, what are you pretending to be! We Guo family offered you twenty million, and you're still not satisfied! Truly insatiable!"
"I'm telling you, you're finished! You wait for me, I'm calling my clan elder right now and telling him you extorted us. You'll be thrown into jail!"
"Is that so? I think your Guo family is probably finished!"
Chen Xuan said with a half-smile.
This was because he saw Wei Linlin walking towards the villa, accompanied by a young man.
"Chen Xuan, did you get the spiritual medicine? If you did, hurry up and come with me to the bar! The bars in the provincial capital are fun, you've definitely never experienced them!"
Wei Linlin's eyes lit up when she saw Chen Xuan. She hopped over, threw her arm around Chen Xuan's arm, and said with a cheerful grin.
The accompanying young man sized up Chen Xuan, looking curious.
Chen Xuan shook his head. "No, the Guo family clearly agreed, but now they've gone back on their word and refuse to give me the spiritual medicine. I heard their backer is Uncle Wei's bodyguard, and they even threatened to call someone to destroy me."
