Tianfu Building, ground floor, lobby.
“Young master.” Zhong Shuhui rushed into the Tianfu Building. Seeing Li Feng standing in the centre of the lobby, she hurried over to him.
She did not know why Li Feng had called her to enter the Tianfu Building, but since he had specifically phoned her, there must be a reason. After receiving the call, Zhong Shuhui gave Mu Jiajia some instructions and entered without hesitation.
“Young master, are you alright?” Zhong Shuhui asked as she reached Li Feng’s side.
“Do I look like someone who has a problem?” Li Feng smiled and said.
“What about Blood Shadow?” Zhong Shuhui asked.
“Over there.” Li Feng pointed to the corner.
Only then did Zhong Shuhui notice a person standing in the corner. Her expression changed dramatically at once. She asked Li Feng, “Young master, this is…?”
Zhong Shuhui worried that Li Feng was being threatened by Blood Shadow. Otherwise, why would Blood Shadow be here?
“Zhong Shuhui, from now on, Blood Shadow is one of us.” Li Feng said gravely.
“One, one of us??” Zhong Shuhui looked at Li Feng in disbelief. She did not understand what he meant.
“Yes, just like the Blood Kill Twin Eagles and the others.” Li Feng nodded.
Now Zhong Shuhui understood somewhat. With the examples of the Blood Kill Twin Eagles, Lu Shuang, Lin Ge, and the others, she knew Li Feng had a method to control people. She had simply never expected that he would control Blood Shadow.
Their original goal tonight had been to kill Blood Shadow, but Zhong Shuhui quickly realised that controlling him was far better than killing him. After all, Blood Shadow was someone close to Chen Junyi. Through him, they could learn about Chen Junyi’s situation.
Originally, they could have obtained information about Chen Junyi through the Situ family, but now that Situ Qiang was targeting Li Feng, cooperation with the Situ family was over. With Blood Shadow, they could now learn about both Chen Junyi and the Situ family.
“Zhong Shuhui, Blood Shadow is an Innate expert.” Li Feng dropped another shocking piece of news.
“What? Blood Shadow is actually an Innate expert.” Zhong Shuhui’s expression shifted. She said in some disbelief, “Did the intelligence from Shadow Tower not say that Blood Shadow was only half-step Innate?”
“Shadow Tower? Hmph.” Li Feng snorted coldly.
“However, young master, with Blood Shadow, we now have our own Innate expert.” Zhong Shuhui immediately grew excited. An Innate expert was not something a peak Postnatal Ninth Layer ancient martial artist could compare to. With one Innate expert, Li Feng’s forces could grow exponentially.
“Exactly.” Li Feng nodded, then asked, “Zhong Shuhui, how is the situation outside now?”
Upon hearing this, Zhong Shuhui quickly briefed him on the outside situation. Then she said, “Now we are only worried that some people are still hiding in the dark.”
“That concern is valid. Last time, Blood Shadow planned the Binhe Road incident, but Wu De was not part of his plan. This time, Blood Shadow has allied with Caidie, Fu Yanxiong, Zhu Yuanyang, and Liu Dongjian, but that does not guarantee no one else is preparing to act. Situ Qiang is the best example.” Li Feng said, his expression solemn.
“Young master, you think so too?” Zhong Shuhui thought for a moment, then asked puzzled, “But who else would make a move at this time?”
“Leaving others aside, the four great families of Tianhai City are completely at odds with me. Now that Liu Dongjian has acted, will the other families stand by and watch?” Li Feng said gravely.
“This…” Zhong Shuhui reacted.
Yes, the four great families of Tianhai City were closely allied. With Liu Dongjian making a move, it was clearly impossible for the others to remain idle.
“And what about Qin Feng, Li Wu, and the others? Will they stand by and watch? Given their status, with so much happening tonight, it is impossible they have received no information at all.” Li Feng continued.
“Young master is right. We must guard against this.” Zhong Shuhui nodded solemnly.
“We do not know who else might act against us now, but we must account for everyone who could possibly make a move. This time, I will catch all those who act in one net.” A sharp glint flashed in Li Feng’s eyes.
“What does the young master plan to do?” Zhong Shuhui asked.
Li Feng first explained Blood Shadow’s plot against him today, then said, “This is Blood Shadow’s plan. I do not know about the others, but Zhu Yuanyang and Liu Dongjian are currently following Blood Shadow’s plan. We can use this plan as a basis to turn their scheme against them.”
“How does the young master intend to proceed?”
“Break out.” A glint flashed in Li Feng’s eyes as he said gravely, “Only by breaking out can I lure out those hiding in the dark. Only then can we catch them all in one net.”
“Young master, this is very dangerous.” Zhong Shuhui said gravely.
“I know, but this risk is worth taking. Moreover, after I break out, I will have Blood Shadow pursue and attack me from behind. If any expert I cannot handle appears, it will be handed to Blood Shadow. Blood Shadow is now an Innate expert with undiminished strength. As long as none of those who want to deal with me are Innate experts, Blood Shadow will be invincible.” A sharp glint flashed in Li Feng’s eyes.
“Young master, you mean Blood Shadow still possesses the combat power of an Innate expert?” Zhong Shuhui was startled. She had heard Li Feng say Blood Shadow was an Innate expert, but she had assumed that after being controlled by Li Feng’s special method, Blood Shadow would no longer have Innate-level fighting strength. She had not expected him to retain it.
If that were true, the danger of Li Feng’s plan to lure the snake from its hole would be greatly reduced.
“Yes. With Blood Shadow, plus the Blood Kill Twin Eagles and Lin Ge whom I arranged in advance, it should be enough to deal with those people.” Li Feng nodded.
“Good. Then I will go arrange it right away.” Zhong Shuhui said gravely.
“Wait a moment.” Li Feng stopped Zhong Shuhui.
“Young master, is there anything else?” Zhong Shuhui asked.
“To make others believe it, the battle at the entrance needs to continue for another ten minutes. Even if there are casualties, it cannot be helped.” Li Feng said gravely.
“Young master, rest assured. I know what to do.” Zhong Shuhui nodded. To act convincingly, the performance must be complete. Even if Li Feng had not mentioned it, she would have arranged it herself.
“Ten minutes later, you all enter the Tianfu Building, then leave through the underground passage of the Tianfu Building and head to Yuxing Lake.” Li Feng said gravely.
“Young master wants to resolve Yuxing Lake tonight?” Zhong Shuhui’s eyes lit up.
“Exactly. If the Situ family had genuinely cooperated with us, I would not mind giving Yuxing Lake to them. But since the Situ family schemed against me behind my back, I will not hold back.” Li Feng nodded and said, “I just asked Blood Shadow. Yuxing Lake is the main hall for the Yangtze Delta region. All of Hongmen’s profits in the Yangtze Delta over the past year are there. If we obtain it, we can fully compensate for tonight’s losses.”
“Good. I will arrange it immediately.” Zhong Shuhui’s eyes brightened.
Ding!
At that moment, Zhong Shuhui’s phone rang.
She opened it and saw a text message. Upon reading it, her expression changed slightly.
“What is it?” Li Feng noticed her change and asked.
“Young master, Fu Yanxiong sent a message. To deal with you, Zhu Yuanyang has prepared rocket launchers.” Zhong Shuhui said gravely.
“What? Rocket launchers?” Li Feng’s face turned livid. Rocket launchers were no ordinary weapon. Not to mention him, even the Innate expert Blood Shadow could not withstand them.
“Zhu Yuanyang, what a Zhu Yuanyang.” Cold light flickered in Li Feng’s eyes. He had not expected Zhu Yuanyang to bring out such a devastating weapon as rocket launchers to deal with him.
At this moment, Li Feng’s heart was filled with icy coldness and boundless killing intent.
Last time, Zhu Yuanyang had framed him for killing Chen Haotian, and he had not yet settled that score with her. He had not expected her to go to such lengths this time to kill him.
Zhu Yuanyang, I will certainly kill you.
“Young master, what do we do now?” Zhong Shuhui looked at Li Feng with some worry. They had just formulated the plan to lure the snake out, but now that Zhu Yuanyang had rocket launchers, their plan faced a major threat.
After all, neither Li Feng nor even the Innate expert Blood Shadow could withstand a rocket launcher assault. She did not want Li Feng to take such a risk. Tonight’s primary target, Blood Shadow, had already been subdued. Even if they ended the plan now, it would not matter. Zhu Yuanyang and the others could be dealt with later.
“The plan continues.” Li Feng said gravely.
“Young master…” Zhong Shuhui grew anxious.
Li Feng interrupted her. “I know what you want to say. Rest assured, before I leave the Tianfu Building, I will resolve the rocket launcher problem. I will not joke with my own life.”
“Young master, is that true?” Zhong Shuhui asked quickly.
“Rest assured. If I cannot resolve the rocket launchers, I will abandon this plan.” Li Feng nodded. If it were just a few guns, he could disregard them, but rocket launchers were different. No matter how fast his reactions, the threat from rocket launchers was too great. He did not think he could evade a barrage of rocket fire.
Not him, nor even Blood Shadow.
“Then what about Zhu Yuanyang? Shall we have Fu Yanxiong act immediately?” Zhong Shuhui asked.
“No. For now, we leave Zhu Yuanyang alone.” Li Feng thought for a moment and shook his head.
Fu Yanxiong was currently at Zhu Yuanyang’s side. With the forces in Fu Yanxiong’s hands, even if Zhu Yuanyang had experts protecting her, she would undoubtedly die. However, if Fu Yanxiong acted, it would set off a chain reaction.
The reason he had used the Divine Control Technique to control Fu Yanxiong was to plant a chess piece in the Fu family through his status. Exposing it now would not align with his original plan. Although Fu Yanxiong killing Zhu Yuanyang could spark conflict between the Fu and Zhu families, it would bring him no benefit.
Li Feng felt that keeping Fu Yanxiong would have greater use in the future. Using this piece now would not be worth the loss.
“Young master, this is no time for womanly mercy.” Zhong Shuhui thought Li Feng was reluctant to kill Zhu Yuanyang because he was swayed by her beauty.
