Chapter 140 The Inner City Uprising! Revenge!

"Is everyone alright?"

Su Hao asked, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.

It seems like things are too coincidental.

"I sustained some injuries, but nothing serious."

Zhou Zhengtang shook his head.

and many more…

Suddenly, Zhou Zhengtang realized something.

It seemed like something was amiss.

He glanced at Su Hao, who was also looking at him with a questioning gaze, and murmured, "It can't be that much of a coincidence, can it?"

"Who killed Chu Xiongfeng?"

Su Hao asked.

He was so focused on listening to the other person's compliments that he was distracted.

Therefore, I didn't find out too much about the matter.

But now the Zhou family has also been attacked. Is there really such a coincidence in the world?

"I don't know!" Zhou Zhengtang's expression was rather unpleasant.

He was also only focused on the core message, which was that Chu Xiongfeng's death was a great benefit to the Zhou family!

Who cares who killed that old man?

After all, that old man has offended quite a few people over the years.

However, it seems that the situation has now affected the Zhou family as well, which makes him worry.

Seeing Zhou Zhengtang shake his head, Su Hao was speechless.

"Now that Chu Xiongfeng is dead, they shouldn't cause trouble in Qingzhi Valley anytime soon, so let's hurry back to Yanshan!"

Su Hao suggested.

"Okay! Let's go back now!"

Zhou Zhengtang immediately stood up.

Just as the two were about to leave, another gray shadow fell from mid-air and landed on the wooden railing of the watchtower.

"Damn it, is this never going to end?!"

Zhou Zhengtang let out a deep breath, and seeing that more intelligence had arrived, he had no choice but to return again.

"..."

Su Hao remained silent.

Day by day, Su Hao even began to wonder if Zhou Zhengtang would eventually establish an intelligence agency within the Zhou family.

Zhou Zhengtang took another slip of paper, opened it, and his expression finally changed!

"Information about the inner city..."

Zhou Zhengtang looked up at Su Hao and said.

"And it might be related to Master Liu..."

"Master Liu?"

Su Hao was taken aback, not expecting to hear Liu Shi's intelligence at this time.

He remembered that just a few days ago, the other party was still enjoying himself at the boxing academy.

How come after only a few days, he's become a character in intelligence reports?

"What exactly?"

Su Hao asked.

He wouldn't be too interested in anyone else's, but it's different if it's Liu Shi's.

This is, after all, a matter of safety for the entire Yueshan Boxing Gym.

To put it bluntly, as one of them, even if someone seeks revenge, it might come back to him.

"Last night, a major incident occurred at Fengmanlou, one of the major restaurants in the inner city. Yan Junshan, the sole heir of the Yan family, one of the eight great families in the inner city, was taken away from a private room at Fengmanlou by several martial artists with the strength of the Bone Forging Realm. Other family disciples who were with him were also captured and their whereabouts are still unknown."

"At that time, some people in the shadows observed that the several disguised Bone Forging martial artists who took Yan Junshan away were likely martial artists from the Martial Arts Academy in the outer city."

However, since no one found any evidence of their presence, this is just a rumor. But even though it's just a rumor, it's enough to alert the eight major families. They will probably send someone to question them in person!

Zhou Zhengtang then looked rather grim.

As a member of the Yueshan Boxing Academy, I naturally don't want anything to happen to the academy. At a time like this, it would be a waste to get into conflicts with these factions and get involved.

But sometimes things can't be avoided just because you want to.

If what's happening now has nothing to do with Yue Shan Boxing Gym, will people believe it or not?

"As long as they don't catch them in the act, the eight major families won't dare to go too far, right?"

Su Hao frowned.

I never expected that at a time like this, someone would dare to attack the Eight Great Families of the Inner City!

And since they took people away, it must have been planned!

If this matter is indeed related to the Outer City Martial Arts Academy, then who was behind it?

"I don't know, sigh, things are getting more and more chaotic!"

Zhou Zhengtang sighed.

The two then said no more. After descending from the watchtower, they gave instructions to the others and returned to Yanshan City.

……

Yanshan City, outer city area.

A caravan of merchants carrying a large amount of goods was slowly driving into the city from outside. The guards accompanying them all had cold eyes and a strong sense of menace, and they all had some kind of injury on their bodies.

They had clearly returned after a fierce battle.

Zhou Chengan sat in an ordinary black carriage, his upper body bare, with sandals wrapped around his shoulders.

Faint traces of blood could be seen seeping through the sand.

"Master, a letter has arrived from the young master of the main hall!"

At this moment, the carriage curtain was opened, and a dark-skinned middle-aged man leaned halfway in and respectfully handed over a letter.

"Hmm! Let me see it!"

Zhou Chengan nodded, then took the letter and opened it.

"My dear in-law, what did that lad say?"

At this moment, next to Zhou Cheng'an, there was also a somewhat thin old man who was wrapping his forearm wound with gauze.

Although this person was not tall or burly, he had a strong presence and his eyes shone brightly, exuding the masculine aura unique to martial artists.

"Hahaha! Hahahaha!!"

Zhou Cheng'an's eyes fell on the letter, and soon he threw his head back and let out a hearty laugh.

This sudden turn of events startled the old man inside the car.

He then grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, and said, "Is it good news?"

"What wonderful news, in-laws!!"

Zhou Chengan slapped his thigh with a smile, but the sharp pain from the wound soon made him gasp twice.

However, he still handed the letter to the old man.

The old man took it. His gaze lingered on it for a moment, and then he, too, burst into laughter!

"Damn it! Chu Xiongfeng has been treacherous and cunning his whole life, but who would have thought he'd be so inexplicably finished off like this? What a cruel twist of fate!"

"If he doesn't die, things will be difficult when we get back!" Zhou Cheng'an nodded and said, "This guy has always coveted our Qingzhi Valley, and he's been secretly using underhanded tactics to drive up the prices of the entire valley. A few days ago, he even attacked the main hall, almost causing Qingzhi Valley to suffer heavy losses. All these grievances combined mean that wiping out the entire Chu family wouldn't be an exaggeration!"

"Therefore, he has now brought about his own downfall by committing so many unrighteous acts!"

The lean old man chuckled, "But this young man is becoming more and more prudent in his actions. Even without us around, Qingzhi Valley managed to stabilize the situation after such a calamity, and even managed to seize their Ironwood Manor in the end. Tsk tsk, it seems my son-in-law is indeed quite good!"

"He never had this kind of brain before. There must be something Yingying is plotting behind the scenes. Our Zhou family has gained a good daughter-in-law!"

The two of them were blowing each other's instruments.

They were all in high spirits because of the current situation of their rival, the Chu family!

"Master! Another urgent report!"

While the two were still planning how to deal with the Chu family after returning to the city,

A sound came from outside the carriage curtain again!

The two of them also froze.
