Chapter 189 Formidable Enemy
Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-Nine
The Mercedes car pulled up in front of the Weifeng Martial Arts School.
The car door opened, and a middle-aged man, about forty years old, stepped out.
This person's upper body was extremely robust, especially his two arms, which almost made the clothes on his body burst open.
"Senior Brother Yu." Wei Zhentian saw the man and quickly took a few steps forward, his face showing an excited expression.
He hadn't expected that the sect would send Senior Brother Yu.
Senior Brother Yu was a master of the Inner Sect.
Having received the true teachings of the sect, his status compared to an Outer Sect Disciple like him, responsible for external affairs, was like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon.
The middle-aged man's gaze was like a sharp blade.
Seeing Wei Zhentian's condition, his eyebrows furrowed as he said, "What happened to you?"
After speaking, he moved with a whoosh.
There was a distance of nearly ten meters between the two men.
In one step, the middle-aged man reached Wei Zhentian, grabbed his wrist, and checked it, his eyes revealing a terrifying divine light, "You've been crippled? Who did this?"
"It's a long story." Wei Zhentian's face showed a hint of desolation and venomous resentment. As a martial artist who had cultivated inner strength and been crippled, naturally, no words could describe his feeling, which was even worse than being killed.
"Senior Brother Yu, let's go inside and talk."

The middle-aged man nodded slowly and stepped into the Weifeng Martial Arts School, where he settled into a reception room.
Yu Cheng said indifferently, "Tell me, who was it that harmed you so grievously? No matter who it is, they must pay a price for touching a member of our Iron Palm Gang."
"It's a twenty-year-old youth named Long Xiaoshan," Wei Zhentian said with hatred in his voice.
"Twenty years old!"
Yu Cheng's face changed, and he spoke with a gravity, "I remember that you had cultivated inner strength a year ago, stepping into the ranks of Huang Level Martial Artists. A twenty-year-old youth, unless from the true disciples of the major sects, could possibly.. Could it be that the one who hurt you is a true disciple of those major sects?"
"That is not the case,"
Wei Zhentian said, "I've already investigated. This person, named Long Xiaoshan, is a son of a farmer from Niu Y County, and he just returned from prison not long ago. He is definitely not a true disciple of any major sect."
"Impossible!" Yu Cheng declared emphatically, "Are you sure you're not mistaken? How could a mere farmer's son have crippled your martial arts?"
Huang Level Martial Artists, although at the bottom rung of the Ancient Martial World,
are something to note given the high threshold of the ancient martial arts.
The martial artists who have cultivated inner strength are one in ten thousand; a Huang Level Martial Artist is adequate to suppress and sweep through an entire Earth Level city. Even if a common person pointed a gun at them, they could not kill a Huang Level Martial Artist.

Were it not for a hundred-year-old medicine, Wei Zhentian himself would not have been able to step into the ranks of Huang Level Martial Artists.
So Yu Cheng's first reaction was disbelief.
"Senior Brother Yu, how dare I speak without evidence? My son, Wei Loong, was crippled by this person, left disabled for life. My Dantian was also shattered by him. I wish to eat his flesh and drink his blood. I've been investigating these past days and there's absolutely no mistake. I suspect this person must have gained some formidable legacy or consumed some heavenly treasures to have such strength," Wei Zhentian said through gritted teeth.
Yu Cheng's eyes flickered.
Given this, Wei Zhentian certainly wouldn't dare deceive him.
Then everything he said must be true.
A mere farmer's son, only twenty years old, having cultivated the inner strength that all martial practitioners dream of, and able to defeat Wei Zhentian.

Reached the level of true disciples of those great sects.
It was clear he must have obtained an immensely powerful opportunity.
To know that those great sect true disciples were cultivated from childhood, received guidance from experts, and took various top-level herbs from a young age, only then could they cultivate inner strength and step into the ranks of Huang Level Martial Artists before the age of twenty.
If I could gain this person's inheritance opportunity, perhaps I could leap into the Profound Level in one fell swoop.
He had cultivated for many years and was stuck at the peak of Huang Level without being able to break through. If he could step into the Profound Level, his status would immediately soar. A Mysterious Rank Warrior held a weighty position in the entire Cultivation World and could immediately be promoted to Elder within his sect.
Thinking of this, Yu Cheng's heart heated up.
"Where is this person now?" he asked indifferently.
Wei Zhentian felt a surge of joy in his heart; he knew Yu Cheng had been swayed by his words and harbored a killing intent towards Long Xiaoshan. Senior Brother Yu was a true disciple of the sect, and his cultivation had reached the peak of Huang Level, just one step away from the Mysterious Level.
With his intervention, Long Xiaoshan was bound to die without a doubt.
"He should be in Longyang Village, Niu Y County. Senior brother, shall we set out now?" Wei Zhentian said.
"No rush." Yu Cheng did not get up, still sitting there like a majestic general, picked up his tea and took a sip, and said indifferently, "This man cannot escape the palm of my hand. Actually, my visit this time has another important matter."
"What important matter?" Wei Zhentian asked cautiously.
"I have come to integrate the entire business community of Hechuan City, to lay the groundwork for the Iron Palm Gang's entrance into Xichuan Province."
Wei Zhentian's body shook violently, "Iron Palm Gang is moving into Xichuan?"
"Correct," Yu Cheng's eyes flickered, as if a sharp light had flashed through them: "Back then, Xichuan was Iron Palm Gang's territory, but only due to the rise of the Tang Family in Tianfu, and the emergence of an Earth-Ranked Grandmaster, did we have to avoid their edge and withdraw from Xichuan. However, the Iron Palm Gang recently received reliable information that the Tang Family Grandmaster, Tang Tian'ao, is over eighty years old, afflicted with witch poison, and won't be in this world for much longer. Moreover, our Gang Leader is ambitious and talented, only fifty years old, and is half a step into the Grandmaster Realm. It's a foregone conclusion that he will enter the Grandmaster Realm in the future. Why should we fear an old Grandmaster clinging to life?"
Wei Zhentian was overjoyed upon hearing this.
His identity as a disciple of the Iron Palm Gang had always been a secret.
He was assigned by the sect to go undercover in Hechuan City.
With the strength of a Huang Level Martial Artist, if he were to really make a move, he could have easily suppressed a city like Hechuan and unified the various forces.
It was only because of the fear of the Tang Family's power that he had to act low-key and use the Martial Arts School as a cover.
Now that Senior Brother Yu has arrived,
and personally confirmed the Iron Palm Gang's return to Xichuan, even though his powers were now ruined, with Senior Brother Yu's peak Huang Level strength, uniting the forces of Hechuan City would be like using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken.
Senior Brother Yu is an Inner Sect Disciple.
Enthralled by the Martial Dao.
Surely, such worldly matters will eventually be left to his control.
By then, utilizing the power in his hands, he could gather heaven and earth treasures; it's not impossible that there might be hope to restore his Dantian.
Even if it can't be restored,
to control the business world of a city and live a life of wealth and honor is not a life lived in vain.
As for the youngster Long Xiaoshan, once Senior Brother Yu controls Hechuan, his death will naturally follow.
"Senior brother, since that is the case, I have a suggestion. The tycoons of Hechuan City enjoy organizing underground fights to resolve disputes and divide interests. I have even fought on behalf of a tycoon of Hechuan, Wang Sihai. If I host an underground fight, and senior brother sweeps the arena, then the whole Hechuan City will naturally fall into senior brother's hands."
After all, Wei Zhentian has laid his roots in Hechuan for over a decade and is a shrewd and calculating local snake. He laid out the plan smoothly.
Yu Cheng's eyes moved slightly, flicking his fingernail, eliciting a sound like that of striking metal.
