The Supreme God of Martial Arts -
Chapter 189 Revenge
Nanny Wu was Mindy's wet nurse who had been employed to feedMindy her own breast milk when Mindy was a tiny baby, and she wasalso the only person who had accompanied Mindy while running awayfrom the Li Clan that fateful night.
After Mindy joined the Sun Sect, Nanny Wu had retired to live in thisremote village.
When Nanny Wu heard that Mindy was planning to go back to ValleyTown to get revenge, she couldn't help but feel worried. Even thoughMindy assured her that Austin would help her, she was still notconvinced. After all, Mindy was a weak girl who might not be able tofight against so many powerful foes, and Austin looked too young andtoo thin to be able to fight them too.
However, since Mindy and Austin had both already reached the EarthRealm level, Nanny Wu finally accepted Mindy's decision
In the past when Nanny Wu lived with Mindy's family, she had heardabout a few warriors and knew that the warrior of the Earth Realm wasthe most powerful one in Valley Town.
To Mindy's surprise and excitement, it turned out that there wereseveral other members of her family living in this village.
When the Zhang Clan was attacked by their enemies, many of herfamily members hadn't been at the scene and had managed to escapeas soon as they found out. In the past few years, Nanny Wu had secretlycontacted as many of them as possible and called them to live in thisvillage so that they could avenge the Zhang Clan one day.
Knowing Mindy had made up her mind to get revenge, Nanny Wucalled all the remaining members of the family to help Mindy.
There were 17 members in total. Eight of them were young and theircultivation bases were on the third or fourth level of Energy GatheringRealm.
The other nine were middle-aged and their cultivation bases were onthe fifth or sixth level of Energy Gathering Realm. Since they were livingas a small family in this remote village, the cultivation bases of thefamily members were less than impressive because most of them wereonly at the level of Energy Gathering Realm. Their family master was theonly one whose cultivation base was on the level of the Earth Realm.These 17 family members had been hiding in this remote village andworking hard to improve their martial arts skills for the past few years.They wanted to get revenge one day and rebuild their big family inValley Town.
When they found out from Nanny Wu that Mindy had reached the levelof Earth Realm, they looked at Mindy with their eyes full of worship.
In particular, the eight young men who were of the same age andposition as Mindy showed great admiration for her. A few years ago,they had all been on the level of Energy Gathering Realm, but now,their cultivation bases were far behind Mindy's.
To avenge their dead family members, they had worked day and nightfor the past few years to develop their martial arts skills. They had allmade great progress. Since they were hiding in such a remote village,they hadn't been able to obtain any helpful martial arts materials, sothey'd gotten this far purely on hard work.
But their peer, Mindy, had already reached the level of Earth Realm. Inthe remote Valley Town, a warrior of Earth Realm was really rare.
In the entire Zhang Clan, the master was the only one whose cultivationbase had reached the Earth Realm. But it was said that their master hadbeen heavily wounded during the attack and had gone missing soonafter. No one knew whether he was alive or dead.
That meant that Mindy was now the most powerful person among theremaining family members, and so any hope of avenging the ZhangClan rested on her shoulders.
Mindy became the leader and the other 17 members stared at her withexcitement and worship in their eyes.
But Mindy was just excited to see her family members again after beingout of touch with them for seven years. She calmed herself down andlooked at them.
"It has been seven years since they killed our family members and it'stime for us to get revenge. I've decided to go back to Valley Town andavenge the Zhang Clan! My dear uncles, will you support me?"
Mindy turned to the respectable middle-aged men who were sitting infront of her.
"Mindy, we all agree with you and we will support you.”
After learning from Nanny Wu that Mindy and the young man namedAustin had both reached the level of Earth Realm, the middle-aged menknew that Mindy was much more powerful than they were, so theydidn't think of themselves as elders who should be respected andobeyed by Mindy. Instead, they were ready to follow her commandeven if they disagreed with her.
Besides, Mindy was finally offering them the chance for revenge thatthey had been waiting for so many years, so of course they wouldn'tdisagree with her. Mindy had their full support.
"Okay! Since you all agree, let's go today. Let's take back everythingthat's ours and get even!”
Mindy's words motivated the 17 family members. They knew that oncethey went back to Valley Town, they would either successfully get theirrevenge or be killed cruelly by their foes. After all, they didn't know howpowerful their foes had become after these seven years.
However, the memory of that fateful night had tormented them andbrought them great agony for seven years, so they considered revengemuch more important than their lives. . . ..
The Li Clan, the enemies of Mindy's family, lived in Valley Town.
In a spacious and luxurious meeting hall sat a dozen leaders of the LiClan.
Lanny, the master of the Li Clan, was sitting in a wooden armchair,drinking tea with a serious look on his face.
For the past seven years, the Li Clan had taken control of Valley Townand seized all the industries, forests, and farmlands, as well as theminerals around them.
Ever since they destroyed the Zhang Clan, they had taken over all thebusinesses in Valley Town and become richer and richer.
And with the development of the Li Clan, Lanny had become the mostpowerful man in Valley Town. No one dared to sing a different tunefrom him.
"Did the old fossil, Zachary, say anything?"
Lanny asked, frowning.
"Master, we've used the worst torture methods we could think of onhim, but he's still too stubborn to say a word about where the book is.”"Is that so? The old fossil is so persistent even in the face of death. Well,if he isn't going to say anything about the book, just keep using thecruelest torture methods you can think of on him. If I can't get thebook, I'll at least be satisfied to see him in endless pain. That is exactlythe price he has to pay for fighting against me!"
"Dad, is there any possibility that the book “Elixir Foundation’ doesn'tactually exist? If there is, I think it's better if we kill Zachary. He isn'thelpful to us at all,” a young but strong-looking man said. He was noneother than Logan, Lanny's second son.
"Mr. White, what's your opinion?"
Lanny looked at the 40-year-old man sitting next to him
Yann White used to be the butler of the Zhang Clan, but after receivinga considerable bribe from Lanny, he had betrayed the Zhang Clan andhelped the Li Clan attack them that night.
"There is no doubt that the book Elixir Foundation’ exists. I clearlyremember Zachary asking me for advice when he decided to choosesome young men from the Zhang Clan to practice refining elixirs. Itmust be true,” Yann answered.
"That settles it, then; we can't kill Zachary. We can slowly get someinformation about the book from him. If we're lucky enough to replacethat book, the Li Clan can learn how to refine elixirs and cultivate somepill refiners in our family. Then, our clan would become a powerhousenot only in Valley Town, but also in the whole Violet Orchid Empire.You know how much people admire pill refiners. It will be a great honorif there is a pill refiner, even a primary one, belonging to the Li Clan."All the family members of the Li Clan sitting in the meeting hall wereinspired by those words. They all knew that even the least excellent pillrefiner in the Li Clan would be admired by everyone.
If the Li Clan could cultivate their own pill refiner, their family wouldbecome even more prosperous in the future.
"It will take a lot of time to get any information out of Zachary. We allknow how stubborn that old fossil can be, so it's useless for us to beoptimistic about replaceing the book quickly," Lanny pointed out,frowning.
Just then, a servant ran into the meeting hall.
"Master, someone sent a package and said that it's your birthdaypresent!”
"Ah? My birthday present?”
Lanny was surprised. His birthday wasn't until two weeks later.
After pondering over it for a few moments, Lanny smiled.
"I see. One of my friends must have sent me this present half a monthin advance to give me a surprise.”
"Dad, as our Li Clan is becoming richer and more powerful, there aremore and more people who want to flatter us. I'm sure the birthdaypresent must have been sent by someone who wants to get into ourgood books," a quiet young man commented, smiling. He was Lanny'sfirst son. He wasn't excellent in martial arts practice, but he was a manof great wisdom
"Hah hah, whoever sent this is a sincere person, so it would be impolitefor us to refuse him. What's the present? Let me have a look!"
Lanny was very happy.
The servant quickly ran out of the meeting hall.
After a while, he walked back in holding a square package. On thetightly stitched package, the word “Longevity’ was written in a big font."Open it up!"
Lanny ordered.
"Yes, master.” The servant began unwrapping the package.
After he uncovered several linings of the package and was about tounfold the last one, eight arrows flew out of the package and into hischest.
The impact of the arrows flung the servant's body back against thedoor of the meeting hall. At the same time, the package in his handsfell onto the floor.
There was a crack as his body hit the door and he was dead before hecould so much as let out a cry. There was deadly poison painted on thearrows.
The whole meeting hall erupted into chaos.
"Who did it? Who! Who did it?"
Lanny got up in a fit of rage and slapped the back of his chair with hisright hand. Immediately, the chair, which was made of ironwood,dissolved into a fine powder, leaving wood chips all over the floor.There was strong vital energy emanating from Lanny.
The other members of the Li Clan were also astonished by what hadhappened just now.
