Chapter 98 He Arrived in Linzhou

  Delayed again outside of Wind Island for a moment.

  Found those thin clouds. Still no signs of thorough dispersal, and the entire silhouette of Lífēng Island was still not caught at all. Xǔ Yú's eyebrows also gradually furrowed.

  He was at his wit's end as he didn't understand the tactics at all.

  Of course, he didn't expect to master the large array knowledge quickly by relying on the fusion of his abilities. Even if he mastered the method of breaking the array, it would still require a considerable amount of power to enter and break it. At least he knew that inside the large array were some strange spaces, and if he couldn't fly, he might not even have a foothold, which was far from being as calm as the surface of the sea.

  Not to mention, as long as he enters the formation, he will definitely make the five surviving cultivators on Liefeng Island kill him again with all their might. At that time, the five foundation-building cultivators controlling the large formation, and he really has no chance of escaping alive.

  "Are you just going to give up like this?"

  If he had said before that he didn't have absolute confidence in winning, he hadn't thought about taking down all these guys at once, but now, he really didn't want to leave so many future troubles behind.

  Deep in thought, Xu Yu's eyebrows furrowed deeper, but suddenly his eyes lit up, and he quickly retreated to the sea surface to search for the storage ring and magic weapon left behind by the four Liufeng Island cultivators who had fallen earlier.

  The battle just now was too intense, almost eye-catching, those people's abandoned magic treasures, really no one had time to collect, all sank to the bottom of the sea.

  It's possible that those people's storage rings contain the method to open the mountain gate.

  It wasn't until he relaxed his mind and searched the nearby seabed that he discovered it was much more difficult for his mind to penetrate underwater than in the sky.

  But the seabed here is not calm at all, it's extremely dangerous, and after a long time, he was lucky to find a storage ring from below, but the things of the other three people had already sunk somewhere.

  Looking at the only storage ring that was salvaged, Xǔ Yú's eyes flashed with a hint of regret, and then he refined the ring, speeding up his search for the jade slip.

  Soon, his face was filled with joy, and he quickly escaped to the outside of Feng Island. After merging a mouthful of spiritual energy, according to the opening array method recorded in the Jade Sutra, he released his divine thoughts.

  A large array lies ahead, yet there is not a single stir.

  He was stunned for a moment, then Xǔ Yú quickly understood that it must be the cultivators on Lí Fēng Island who had modified their island-protecting array during this period. As soon as he thought of this, his face changed color again, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes before he turned around and stepped onto the waves to leave.

  It was also when Xǔ Yú left again and disappeared into the horizon that several figures hidden within the large formation on Lí Fēng Island simultaneously let out a long sigh, but their eyes also flashed with a hint of disappointment.

  "That monster left."

  "Damn it, why doesn't he come in? If he comes in, relying on the power of the great formation..."

  "Never mind, he's no fool either, since he clearly knows that the five of us are waiting for him inside the formation, why would he come?"

  …………

  Although there was some regret in their words, to be honest, the five of them also had some sense of celebration. The fact was that the performance of that person just now was too fierce and too crazy. Even with the protection of the mountain array group, they still had a certain degree of confidence that they could strangle the opponent, but if that person really dared to come in, it would also mean that he had some confidence in breaking the array.

  Just like before, the nine people were killed by hanging, and it was a sure thing, but unexpectedly, after that person walked out, he suddenly cut down three people with lightning speed and without being injured.

  It can be said that when looking at Xu Yu hesitating outside through the array of mountains, several people in their hearts were also really nervous and apprehensive, wanting him to enter the array but fearing he might actually have a way to do so. That complex emotion is truly difficult to describe.

  But all of this is finally over now.

  Watching the thoroughly disappearing figure, the five people in the array spoke out after venting their emotions, but then all of them couldn't help but smile bitterly. One person, just one person, had forced them to this point on Feng Island, and they didn't even dare confirm whether the opponent had really left or was lurking outside, waiting for them to come out.

  After that, even if they have something to leave the island, they will still be nervous and worried.

  ………………

  Half a day later, until Xu Yu crossed the ocean again and set foot on the land of Xia Province.

  He again went to the nearest city without hesitation. On his way here, in order to kill Wang Minghuan, he could only run with all his might. But on the way back, he would not rely solely on his feet anymore.

  On the way, he turned on his mobile phone, but just as it was about to start up, a string of messages popped out one after another.

  Xu Yu was slightly startled, and then checked one by one, only to find that they were all SMS reminders of unconnected phone calls from the days when the machine was turned off.

  Among them, Lin's home phone had 11 calls, the last one was Feng Mu Zhe's number with 23 calls, Luo Xin Ying had 7 calls, and there were also 9 unconnected calls from his mother, and some text messages sent by Zhang Yan Fa.

  After reading it, Xu Yu just wanted to call his mother back first, but his phone rang again, and it was indeed a call from his mother.

  Xu Yu's face changed, and he hastily chose to answer it.

  "Xiao Yu? What's wrong with you? Where are you now? Why is your phone turned off? I called your Aunt Zhu and she said you've been absent from work for the past few days?"

  Listening to his mother's anxious words, Xu Yu felt a warmth in his heart and his expression completely relaxed. However, he also knew that some things were simply impossible to explain. Was he supposed to tell his mother that for the past few days, he had been traveling on foot for thousands of miles to hunt down an immortal?

  It wasn't until he received his mother's phone call that he suddenly woke up, and now he has undergone a tremendous change compared to Xu Yu who had just left Ning City one or two months ago.

  Only one or two months have passed. He has already been stained with blood all over his hands!!!!!

  The mentality is no longer the strong young man who was determined to prove himself to his father, nor is it the young man who left his hometown with a heart full of resentment and discontent.

  "Mom, I'm fine. These past few days I just took care of some personal matters." As he smiled warmly, Xǔ Yú's mind was a jumble of thoughts, but he found it strange that he had taken leave. What kind of leave had he taken? It seemed that the Lín family must have intervened.

  "Private matters? Are you dating someone? You're not even paying attention to work! But you're not getting any younger, it's about time you found a woman." As she spoke, Mrs. Xu across from her hesitated for a moment, but what followed was something that left Xu Yu stunned once again, his face growing even more tense.

  "No." His face slightly flushed, Xu Yu shook his head slightly. The fierce and ruthless look from the day before was nowhere to be seen, and in his mind, he couldn't help but think of Zhang Yan's face. If it involved romantic relationships, at this moment, there was only Zhang Yan. These days, although they had been extremely strange and unusual, the two still kept in touch through text messages.

  "Hehe, you, it's okay if you don't say anything now. Wait till I get to Linzhou and see how you'll deceive me." It seemed like Mrs. Xu had detected something unusual about Xu Yu, but she suddenly laughed again, her tone carrying a hint of playfulness.

  "Huh? You're coming to Linzhou?" Xǔ Yú was stunned again, even more unsure of his mother's words. Was she really suspicious that he was dating and had come to Linzhou to investigate?

  However, with Xuyu's question, her mother on the other side suddenly fell silent again, quietly waiting for a moment before saying in an odd tone, "Xiao Yu, I'll tell you something, don't get excited, your dad...your dad has been transferred to Linzhou, and I will also be transferred there."

  "Huh?" Upon hearing this, Xu Yu only then realized that he had misinterpreted things earlier. However, the truth was even more shocking than his earlier misunderstanding - that person had actually been summoned to Linzhou?

  In an instant, Xu Yu's originally calm and peaceful expression immediately tensed up again, with a hint of hatred flashing in his eyes.

  "He's the vice governor, just a few days ago, Vice Governor Qi of the province retired and vacated the position. But this matter is strange, originally your dad also tried to get it, but didn't have any advantage, the opponent was too strong. A few days ago, I heard that the top had already decided to appoint someone else, he gave up, who knew that a few days ago, suddenly there was a turn of events, don't know how, the appointment order came down directly, and it turned out to be your dad taking office, really strange!"

  Mother Xu's words echoed again, but then she fell silent for a moment before continuing, "Xiao Yu, although last time's matter was your dad's fault, you also know his bad temper, after all, you are biological father and son, how can there be overnight grudges..."

  As his mother spoke, Xu Yu remained silent for a long time.

  Even at this point, he somewhat understood why the warrant would suddenly appear in front of that person, and why the Feng and Lin families had made so many phone calls, but he didn't know what his heart was feeling.

  Hate, that's for sure!

  It's just that person, after all, who gave birth to him and raised him for over twenty years. This kind of hatred is strong, but not fatal.

  A jumble of thoughts, completely disrupted by his mother's phone call, Xǔ Yú didn't even know what he said afterwards, nor when he hung up the phone.

  Until he put away his phone, stood on the streets of a strange city, and stared blankly for a long time, his face changing several times, he suddenly let out a long sigh and dialed the phone.

  "Mr. Xu? That's great, I thought something happened to you, is it the Feng family..." The phone was answered by Lin Yan, and as soon as it connected, a surprised voice came from the other end.

  "That person, how did he end up in Linzhou? You should understand what I'm saying." Xǔ Yú directly interrupted Lín Yán's words, coldly opening his mouth to say.

  "Uh..." Lin Yan sensed Xǔ Yú's coldness, and his excitement was suddenly cut off. Afterwards, a awkward laugh came through, "It was the Feng family's connections in the capital that were mobilized with all their might to settle this matter. In that regard, the Feng family has more backing than our Lin family. However, I also contributed a bit of effort, just adding fuel to the fire. Plus, he had some connections behind him from the start, so..."

  "My family affairs, I hope Mr. Lin doesn't interfere." Indeed, Xu Yu was somewhat annoyed, but the matter had already been settled, and he also knew that getting angry would be useless. After all, the national appointment order had been issued, and the appointment of a deputy provincial-level cadre was not officially announced yet, but once the official document came out, it would be almost impossible to make changes.

  He hung up the phone again, and although he wanted to call Feng's family to scold old man Feng Mu Zhe for interfering too much, in the end, he endured it and headed to the train station with a very complicated mood.

  Linzhou?

  Arriving at Linzhou once again, I might just run into that person. He doesn't know whether he should hate or be angry with himself.
