Extreme Almightiest Young Master
Chapter 2432 - 2411: The Plot Exposed
After sending Elder Chu away, Lin Feng directly used his Divine Sense to call back Tangyuan. Tangyuan hopped and jumped in front of Lin Feng, not understanding why Lin Feng was so anxious to call it back. Was it time to leave Xucheng?
"Boss, what do you need me for? I was enjoying my meal!" Tangyuan said with some dissatisfaction.
"You need to take care of something." Lin Feng looked at Tangyuan, smiling as he spoke.
"What is it?" Tangyuan felt even stranger hearing Lin Feng’s words. What could Lin Feng, unable to accomplish, need Tangyuan to do?
"In Xucheng Auction House, there’s a Chu Qiao who is targeting Elder Chu. You need to find a way to get evidence and then take him down, so Elder Chu won’t have any worries, and we can leave Xucheng smoothly." Lin Feng instructed Tangyuan directly. These matters were easy for Tangyuan, especially with Tangyuan’s magical invisibility skills, making it the perfect candidate.
"No problem, leave it to me." Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Tangyuan finally understood Lin Feng’s intent. It nodded immediately in agreement and then turned around to leave...
In the auction house.
Chu Qiao and Chu Xu were conspiring in a secret room.
"Elder Chu, that damned Chu Yunpeng is so lucky. If our plan succeeds this time, that old guy will be in for it!" Chu Xu said angrily. Everything was prepared, and they were ready to act, but unexpectedly, Chu Yunpeng discovered it in advance, causing the plan to leak! Fortunately, there were no clues, and they couldn’t be implicated!
"This time he got lucky, but can he stay lucky forever? If once doesn’t work, we try twice; if twice doesn’t work, we try thrice. I don’t believe we can’t bring down Chu Yunpeng!" Chu Qiao said through gritted teeth. Some time ago, Chu Yunpeng somehow acquired a large batch of Flawless Quality Elixirs, causing his status to rise sharply. If Chu Yunpeng isn’t brought down, Chu Qiao sees no way forward, forcing him to fight desperately!
"Yes, we have to bring Chu Yunpeng down!" Hearing this, Chu Xu immediately encouraged, "Elder Chu, what do we do next? What strategy should we use?"
"Actually, it’s not that difficult to bring down Chu Yunpeng. Since he messed up our plans with all those Flawless Quality Elixirs, why can’t we tamper with Chu Yunpeng’s elixirs, like altering records, or turning a few elixirs into poisonous ones? There are many ways!" Chu Qiao said viciously to Chu Xu.
"Great idea! How should we implement it?" Chu Xu’s eyes lit up, excitedly asking.
"Go to logistics and then..." Chu Qiao whispered to Chu Xu, speaking so softly that only the two of them could hear.
Once Chu Qiao finished, Chu Xu’s face lit up with excitement, bubbling over as he spoke to Chu Qiao, "Elder Chu, this idea is amazing! It’ll be a miracle if Chu Yunpeng doesn’t fall!"
"He dared to oppose me; Chu Yunpeng deserves his doomed fate!" Chu Qiao’s eyes gleamed with ferocity, a smug smile on his face, as if witnessing Chu Yunpeng’s downfall and his own return to control Xucheng Auction House...
On the other side, Lin Feng’s journey was delayed due to Elder Chu’s arrival, but he paid no mind, instead taking Tao Tao and Tangyuan to explore around Xucheng, relaxing and clearing his mind. Such moments would be scarce after leaving Xucheng.
Two days later...
Elder Chu was busy in the auction house office, when suddenly the door inexplicably opened, startling him. There was no one to be seen entering, and as he puzzled over the situation, Tangyuan unexpectedly appeared before him!
"Hi, Elder Chu!" Tangyuan floated in mid-air, smiling as it greeted Elder Chu.
"How did you get in here?" Seeing it was Lin Feng’s pet Tangyuan, Elder Chu’s eyes widened in surprise, unable to fathom how Tangyuan entered. As a Divine King Powerhouse, a pet entering his office unnoticed was unimaginable!
Tangyuan glanced at Elder Chu, giggled but said nothing. Then its body became ethereal, completely vanishing from Elder Chu’s view.
This... How is this possible!
Elder Chu stared at the vanished spot, stunned in place. He initially thought Tangyuan was simply invisible, but upon scanning with Divine Sense, found no trace of Tangyuan. How could such a situation not astound him? It implied that once Tangyuan went invisible, no one could detect it. Such a unique ability in a Demon Beast was unheard of even in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm...
But just as Elder Chu was utterly surprised, Tangyuan’s form reappeared, watching Elder Chu’s shock and giggling in mid-air.
"Elder Chu, Boss asked me to deliver some things to you." Tangyuan repressed his laughter and spoke to Elder Chu, then opened his mouth and spat a large account book onto Elder Chu’s table. Immediately, he spat out two smaller account books and finally a small iron piece resembling a medal.
"What’s this?" Elder Chu looked at the items, bewildered by what they might be.
"Why ask? Just take a look, and you’ll know." Tangyuan smiled at Elder Chu as he spoke and then slapped his forehead as he added, "Oh right, Elder Chu, Boss instructed not to show any mercy!"
After saying this, Tangyuan paid no attention to what Elder Chu was thinking and disappeared from right in front of him.
Mercy?
Elder Chu furrowed his brows slightly, setting aside his amazement at Tangyuan’s otherworldly skills. Focusing on the table, he opened the items. After examining them, he became absolutely furious!
Picking up the medal-like piece, he found it to be a type of recording Dharma Treasure. Infusing it with Yuan Energy, it immediately played scenes of secret meetings, along with footage of how Chu Qiao and Chu Xu arranged and embezzled items from the auction house, manipulating the account books to implicate him...
"Outrageous!"
Chu Yunpeng, upon seeing this, was immediately enraged. He smacked his desk, shattering it, and flipped his hand to grab the three account books, heading towards the central hub of the auction house. Utilizing a special transport channel, he sent all three account books and the iron piece to the Great Elder of the Myriad Gods Tower.
After reviewing the evidence internally, the high-level officials of Myriad Gods Tower were also incensed. They directly ordered the tower’s internal Law Enforcement Team to use the Cloud Travel Boat to storm towards Xucheng. In just over a day, they traveled through myriad miles of mountains and rivers to reach the Xucheng Auction House!
Facing the Law Enforcement Team, Chu Qiao still didn’t know what was happening. But when he saw the team’s document, his face instantly changed, and he tried to flee.
But the strength of the Law Enforcement Team members, all Divine King powerhouses at the peak of the Universe Realm, easily subjugated the early-stage Universe Realm Chu Qiao. In mere moments, they had him detained on the Cloud Travel Boat. As for Chu Xu, he was directly slapped into a pulp by a team member, causing an uproar throughout the entire Xucheng Auction House!
Two days later, the Xucheng Auction House received a document from the internal high-level officials of Myriad Gods Tower. Only then did Xucheng Auction House realize what had happened.
After thorough investigation, Chu Qiao embezzled goods from the Xucheng Auction House and framed Chu Yunpeng. The council decreed as follows: considering Chu Qiao’s centuries of service at Xucheng, his own cultivation was abolished, and he was expelled from the Myriad Gods Tower to fend for himself. Chu Yunpeng, having exemplary achievements, was promoted to the chief director of Xucheng Auction House!
This event caused an uproar in the entire Xucheng Auction House, with no one daring to harbor any thoughts against Chu Yunpeng anymore...
Meanwhile, Chu Qiao lay, bloodied, in a mountain gully, gazing from afar at the glowing golden tower in the sky, filled with grief. His meridians were completely destroyed, and his Dantian was ruined as well. He could never again possess Divine King powers; he was even less than an ordinary God’s Citizen!
"Chu Yunpeng, you’ve harmed Laozi this way. Just wait and see how I will exact revenge in the future!"
Summoning the last of his strength, Chu Qiao roared at the sky and then spit a mouthful of blood, turning his head and fainting dead away. At the exact moment he fell unconscious, a shadow suddenly appeared, and then Chu Qiao, lying on the ground, disappeared...
Having eliminated the greatest threat around him, Elder Chu was delighted. After socializing a bit within the auction house, he slipped away to the Holy Pill Pavilion. He needed to thank Lin Feng, for without Lin Feng obtaining those otherwise impossible-to-get pieces of evidence, dealing with Chu Qiao would have been exceedingly difficult!
None of the Holy Pill Pavilion crowd recognized Elder Chu, but Li Changsong immediately guided Elder Chu to the backyard to meet Lin Feng. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Upon seeing Lin Feng, Elder Chu immediately approached and thanked Lin Feng, "Thank you, Taoist Friend Lin, for your assistance this time. I truly don’t know how to repay you!"
"Between us, thanks aren’t necessary." Lin Feng smiled and waved his hand.
"Indeed! In that case, how about I treat you to some wine?" Elder Chu responded with a laugh, then promptly took out a small jar of wine from his Space Ring, continuing, "Taoist Friend Lin, this wine is extraordinary. It’s brewed with supreme Immortal Herbs, and has never appeared on the market. To say the least, not even a Divine Venerable may have tasted it!"
"Oh? Such wine exists?" Lin Feng was taken aback by this and grew curious about the wine.
"Of course, this wine is called Drunk God, a benefit within Myriad Gods Tower. But it requires a hundred thousand Yuan Stones to exchange for this small jar. With my current position, if not promoted, in this lifetime, I can only exchange for this one jar." Elder Chu explained with a smile. He then waved his hand, opening the jar’s seal, and carefully poured from the two small bowls taken from his Space Ring...
