Zhou Yu did not know about Zhang Zheng’s phone call with Jiang Dongcheng.
After leaving the restaurant, he headed straight to Jiang Xin’s residence.
In the room at Jiang Xin Hotel, Zhou Yu spread out his Divine Sense, quickly detecting traces left by Jiang Xin on some daily necessities.
He collected these traces and then performed the Taoist Sect’s Spirit Tracking Technique.
Immediately after, the Spirit Tracking Technique transformed into a beam of light and flew towards the direction outside the city.
Zhou Yu instantly activated the Mountains and Rivers Step and chased after it.
He pursued nonstop for over three hours, eventually reaching a small fishing village on the outskirts of Haizhou Provincial City.
The village was adjacent to a secluded bay, with rugged paths, inconvenient transportation, and sparse population.
The Spirit Tracking Technique deployed by Zhou Yu disappeared upon nearing this small fishing village.
Zhou Yu’s eyes narrowed.
There must be something here that interfered with the Spirit Tracking Technique.
One could easily guess with their toes that whatever could disturb the Spirit Tracking Technique in a small fishing village had to be the people who kidnapped Jiang Xin.
If everything was as expected, Jiang Xin should be here.
Zhou Yu immediately spread out his Divine Sense to investigate.
Meanwhile, at a decrepit farmhouse halfway up a hill next to the small fishing village, a middle-aged man was smoking.
This man was none other than Mi Youfu.
Mi Youfu had been hostile towards Mi Lan and was forcefully stripped of his position as the Mi Family Head by Zhou Yu. Initially, Zhou Yu intended to eliminate him, but considering he was after all from the Mi Family and Mi Lan’s uncle, Zhou Yu allowed him to leave Hai City.
After being expelled from the Mi Family, Mi Youfu immediately contacted his son Mi Zongwu.
Mi Zongwu had people from Dark Domain arrange for his father’s temporary stay in this small fishing village.
That stay lasted for over a month.
Mi Youfu was overjoyed.
Because his son Mi Zongwu, whom he had longed for day and night, had finally returned.
Furthermore, his son Mi Zongwu had devised a plan to help him seek revenge.
"Zong Wu, do you think we can really eliminate Zhou Yu this time?"
A young man walked out of the room upon hearing this.
His face was covered with a chilling coldness.
"Dad, don’t worry. This time, I specifically asked Master for help, and he sent me five super experts. Together with the two experts already in Hai City, that makes seven in total. Plus, we’ve set up a net from heaven to earth, ensuring Zhou Yu will undoubtedly die once he arrives," said Mi Zongwu, full of confidence in his plan. This was why he boldly returned to Dragon Country to personally oversee its execution.
He wanted to personally torture Zhou Yu to death.
"Once Zhou Yu is eliminated, I will take you back to the Mi Family and personally incapacitate that bitch Mi Lan."
Mi Youfu’s face lit up with excitement.
As Mi Youfu and his son were talking, a fleet of cars was rushing towards the little fishing village.
Seated in the cars were Niu Biao and his subordinates.
Although they did not possess the formidable abilities like Zhou Yu, their high-tech assistance allowed them to locate Liu Bo’s whereabouts quickly and find this place.
Meanwhile, Black Sheep was still tapping away at the keyboard inside the car.
"Deputy Minister Niu, the positioning device on Liu Bo indicates it’s around here," one said.
"I’ve checked, there’s a small fishing village nearby. If nothing goes awry, it should be there."
Niu Biao’s eyes gleamed with a sharp light.
"Notify everyone. Split into teams and surround this place. Start a carpet-like search from the outskirts inward," instructed Niu Biao.
Soon, people started jumping out of the cars and began moving to encircle the fishing village.
Niu Biao himself, accompanied by a subordinate from the Great Innate Realm, walked on the main road towards the fishing village.
By now, night had fallen.
A crescent moon hung over the sea-side fishing village.
The crisp moonlight bathed the village, casting an air of tranquil serenity.
Niu Biao and his subordinate moved rapidly, quickly reaching near the entrance of the village.
Niu Biao’s brow suddenly furrowed, and quickly grabbing his subordinate, they leaped away from the spot.
Right when they left their original location.
The spot where they had been standing was blasted into a deep pit by a terrifying force.
The subordinate, pale with fright, realized that he would have been severely injured if not for Niu Biao’s timely intervention.
Niu Biao looked around with a cold gaze.
"Who are you, cowards, to launch a sneak attack on someone from the Hu City Martial Pavilion? Show yourselves!" he demanded.
Within the dark night, a chilly voice responded.
"People from the Hu City Martial Pavilion?"
"Didn’t expect them to arrive so soon."
Upon hearing this, Niu Biao was certain.
The attacker must be the person who took Jiang Xin.
However, the opponent’s ability to conceal their presence was excellent; he still couldn’t pinpoint their location.
"I don’t care who you are."
"If a single hair on Mr. Jiang’s beloved daughter is harmed, none of you will leave this place."
After a brief silence, that hidden voice spoke up again.
"I can tell you clearly, Miss Jiang will come to no harm. We’re not targeting her, but someone else."
"You people from the Hu City Martial Pavilion don’t need to make such a big fuss. Once we have finished our business here, Miss Jiang will return safely on her own."
Upon hearing this, Niu Biao gave a cold snort.
"Cowards, we won’t leave without finding Miss Jiang."
"Are you only brave enough to hide in the shadows?"
"If you have the guts, come out!"
These words seemed to have angered the person in the shadows.
"Since you refuse to heed advice, don’t blame me for being impolite."
As the voice fell, a dark figure suddenly materialized out of nowhere.
The moment he appeared, he charged towards Niu Biao.
