Chapter 493: In Seven Days, We Will Visit the Sun Family
"My son deserved to die? Hmph! You fucking deserve to die even more!"
Sun Shihai’s face was ashen, but he didn’t make a rash move.
He knew that his cultivation level was on par with Leng Ning’s. If the two of them fought now, even with the help of his Sun Family experts surrounding her, they might be able to trap her. But doing so would push her into a corner, and it would inevitably lead to more casualties!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
However, just then, Leng Ning attacked again. Three visible blue rays of light instantly killed three more members of the Sun Family.
"You old bastard, this is the price for insulting me. You’d better not spew any more shit, got it?" Of course, Leng Ning had been observing the surrounding ambush the whole time; she had no intention of dying here.
Her goal on this trip was simple. Provoking the Sun Family’s killing intent was a feint; the real objective was to make them increase the bounty on her and Jiang Xinghai.
’A cool two billion for free.’
"Fine. I promise I won’t be rude again."
Sun Shihai smoothed his messy, receding hairline, forcing himself to calm down.
Otherwise, in his fury, he was very likely to make a misjudgment and cause the Sun Family to suffer even more.
Leng Ning crossed her arms. "Then let me remind you: if you want to avenge your son, having just one Creation Realm expert like yourself is far from enough."
"Don’t tell me that man with you is also in the Creation Realm?" Sun Shihai’s eyes widened.
"If he weren’t, why would we be bullying your Sun Family?" Leng Ning said.
"..."
Sun Shihai fell silent.
The members of the Sun Family present in the courtyard stood their ground, but none of them dared to make a sound.
Even if Sun Shihai ordered them to capture Leng Ning now, they wouldn’t dare to act.
After all, the Sun Family only had one Creation Realm expert: Sun Shihai!
"Of course, I can give you a suggestion," Leng Ning said with a casual smile.
"I’m all ears." Sun Shihai was truly out of options.
Unless—
"If your Sun Family raises the bounty to at least one billion, maybe a stronger expert will help you. Maybe."
Leng Ning turned and vanished, her voice echoing through the Sun Family’s estate once more: "In seven days, we will pay the Sun Family a visit!"
"You!"
Sun Shihai leaped onto the courtyard wall, but where was any sign of Leng Ning?
’Raise the bounty to one billion and hire a Creation Realm expert to handle this?’
’To capture his son’s murderers, Sun Shihai felt that wasn’t too much.’
But!
Since there were two of them, the Sun Family would need to hire at least two Creation Realm experts.
Furthermore, with three of them against the two opponents, the chance of success would be extremely high!
’But why would she dare to set a date to visit my Sun Family in seven days? She knows it’s a suicide mission, so why is she still coming?’
Sun Shihai was filled with uncertainty. ’Could it be that her accomplice is stronger than the Creation Realm? No, no, no... for a young man to reach the Creation Realm is already defying the heavens. Could he be in the Celestial Destiny Realm? Absolutely impossible!’
"Patriarch, what should we do?"
"Yes, Patriarch! When did our Sun Family provoke one... oh no, two Creation Realm experts?"
"Patriarch, if we’re really going to invite Creation Realm experts to help, we’ll need to hire at least two."
"And two of them would cost two billion..."
"The money isn’t important! What’s important is that we must hire people we know. What if we issue a public bounty and the person who comes to help is one of their friends? Wouldn’t we end up losing everything?"
Sun Shihai listened to his clansmen’s analysis, nodding to himself. "Your suggestions are good," he said. "If we’re going to hire someone, it must be people we know well."
"Patriarch, why don’t we invite Wei Qianshan and Zhou Daoren?" someone suggested.
"Right! Their families have been allies with our Sun Family for generations. Among the Eight Great Martial Arts Families, our relationship is very close. We can consider them one of us."
Sun Shihai nodded. "If we’re hiring anyone, it has to be them. And—"
At this, he looked toward a middle-aged man who resembled him. "Second Brother, I want you to make a trip to Taiyin Mountain."
"To bring Father back?" Sun Shijie was suddenly stunned.
The other clan members also stood frozen in place.
The Sun Family’s Old Ancestor had gone into seclusion deep in the mountains for many years. Unless the family faced a matter of life and death, no one was to disturb his cultivation!
"How many of our clan members do you think have to die before it counts as a matter of life and death?"
Sun Shihai swept his gaze over the Sun clansmen, his icy eyes leaving no room for doubt. "This matter concerns the dignity of our Sun Family, and even more so, our father’s honor! Second Brother, remember to keep this a secret. Cover your tracks, go quickly, and bring Father back within seven days!"
"Don’t worry, Big Brother. I’ll set off at once." Sun Shijie no longer hesitated.
"Every member of the Sun Family, this matter must be kept strictly confidential!"
After giving his instructions to the clan, Sun Shihai issued another order: raise the bounty to one billion.
This, of course, was the public declaration.
No matter which Creation Realm expert came forward, he would politely refuse them one by one.
Internally, he would still invite Wei Qianshan and Zhou Daoren.
Only with the people you know best can you entrust them with your back.
Once his father, a Celestial Destiny Realm expert, returned to oversee things, he would have no more worries.
