Chapter 456: Chapter 455: A Bit Incomprehensible

Hearing the sound of the helicopter, Chairman Xue was first startled, then looked anxiously towards Lu Xun.

Lu Xun knew what he was worried about, "This is ours."

Chairman Xue then relaxed again, "That’s good."

He had really feared it was people from the International Black Alliance pursuing them.

However, remembering that upon getting into the car earlier, Luo Ning had given him a talisman, saying it could conceal the tracking marks on his person, he breathed a sigh of relief once more.

Indeed, his son had been right.

He held the object and went out with Lu Xun, boarding the helicopter.

Upon seeing Xue Ying in the helicopter, Chairman Xue extended his hand and patted his son on the shoulder.

Xue Ying, seeing only him, couldn’t help but ask, "Dad, where’s mom?"

Chairman Xue’s eyes couldn’t help but redden, "Your mother passed away."

He then explained how she had died.

Xue Ying clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging, "These damn bastards."

Grinding his teeth, he said, "If we get the chance, we must take revenge."

He had tolerated every other grievance before, but the death of his mother—never.

Chairman Xue’s gaze swept over the wooden box he was holding and he nodded, "Hmm."

The helicopter first went to the airport, where the group prepared to wait in the lounge to transfer to a private jet arranged by Lu Xun.

Luo Ning, who had been sitting down, suddenly felt an intense surge of malevolent energy.

She stood up and said to the others, "A Great Onmyoji is catching up, I’ll go handle it and be right back."

Lu Xun had great faith in her strength, "Be careful."

The Onmyoji who had been monitoring Xue Ying had been lured away by him, allowing them to take Xue Ying away.

The person now in pursuit was very likely the same one.

Luo Ning gave him a reassuring smile and quickly left the room.

She did not wait for the Great Onmyoji to find her, but instead took the initiative to seek him out.

Mainly because she was afraid that battling in such a public area could harm innocent bystanders.

Those people did not regard ordinary human lives with any significance.

Soon, Luo Ning spotted the incoming person; it was indeed the one who had been watching Xue Ying.

She channeled the evil spirit from the thousand-year-old dagger and launched an attack before turning and running towards an uninhabited area.

The Great Onmyoji did not hesitate to follow.

Luo Ning then engaged in a battle with the pursuer in a deserted open space.

In order not to delay and draw more Fengshui Masters of the International Black Alliance, Luo Ning released the Snake King.

Its sudden growth in size allowed it to relentlessly attack the Great Onmyoji.

Having been luxuriously fed pills by Luo Ning over the past half year and absorbing the spiritual power converted from the evil spirit of the Yanyue Blade, it had touched the threshold of the Heavenly Human Unity Realm.

A creature like the Snake King was stronger than a human of the same class.

Clearly, the Great Onmyoji who had come chasing after them had not yet reached this threshold, so without Luo Ning’s intervention, the Snake King dealt with him.

After a chaotic fight, a massive head swallowed the Great Onmyoji whole.

Luo Ning said to the Snake King, "Don’t digest him; give him to the special department to deal with later."

The Snake King, slightly disgusted, still heeded her words.

Two minutes later, Lu Xun’s men drove over.

Watching the Snake King regurgitate the man and finding him still alive after checking, everyone was shocked.

Looking at Luo Ning, they gained even more respect and admiration.

Truly befitting of the minister’s woman, she was remarkable.

Luo Ning didn’t bother with anything else and ran back to the lounge to meet up with Lu Xun and the others before they all boarded the private jet returning home.

The International Black Alliance had also received the message.

Headquarters.

A man draped in a black cloak sat at the head, with a person kneeling below to report.

Several influential figures of the International Black Alliance were seated beside him, leaders of various regions.

An elder looked up at the man at the head and respectfully opened his mouth, "Great Leader, this Luo Ning has ruined quite a few of our plans, hasn’t she?"

He made a throat-slitting gesture as he spoke.

They certainly wanted to kill Lu Xun as well.

But Lu Xun’s status was too significant, and assassinating him would cause too much trouble, which is why he didn’t bring it up.

The cloaked man revealed his pale hands, adorned with a Jade ring on one finger.

He tapped his fingertips on the table in front of him a few times, "Do not startle the snake in the grass while trying to deal with Luo Ning."

"Although losing the Xue Family’s treasure hampers our plans, it’s not something we can’t afford to lose."

"Get ready for the island visit soon; put everything else aside for now."

He paused for emphasis, "As for Luo Ning’s fate, none of you should think about taking it, or you will bear the consequences."

After finishing, he stood up and left.

Those seated exchanged glances; they could tell the Great Leader did not wish for Luo Ning’s demise.

Why was that?

They all knew that the Great Leader was not one to be soft-hearted or lenient.

If it had been someone like Luo Ning, who had spoiled their plans several times before, he surely wouldn’t have let it go.

Could it be for the sake of beauty?

But in all these years, they had not seen the Great Leader indulge in any such delights!

They couldn’t figure it out.

The person who had spoken earlier said, "Since the Great Leader has said not to touch Luo Ning’s life, let’s drop the idea."

One person added, "Alright, then, let’s prepare for the trip to the island."

Another asked, "Is there any news? How can the Great Leader be so sure we’re about to go to the island?"

The initial speaker replied, "Lu Xun’s film shooting is finished, and he’s returned to the country with Luo Ning, so they can free up their hands to cause trouble."

Everyone suddenly understood; Lu Xun’s troublemaking inevitably meant targeting their Huaxia hideouts.

Therefore, they all left to make preparations.

Elsewhere, Luo Ning and her party arrived at Imperial Capital Airport.

Lu Xun accompanied Chairman Xue to deliver something, while Luo Ning went home alone.

In the evening, Lu Xun phoned to contact her.

Only then did Luo Ning learn that Chairman Xue was holding an ancient Imperial Jade Seal.

This item had a dual nature; used wisely, it could enhance the Luck of the Dragon Veins, but if one wanted to cause harm, it could be used to suppress some of the power of the Dragon Veins’ Luck.

No wonder the people of the International Black Alliance were eyeing it, obviously with the latter intention in mind.

Chairman Xue was also a very clever and formidable person, having placed the Imperial Jade Seal in a remote manor where nobody would think to find such a treasure.

The Xue Family, having contributed meaningfully by offering the treasure, received support and aid from the authorities and relocated the whole family to the domestic territory.

Two days after settling in, Xue Ying invited Lu Xun and Luo Ning to dinner.

Lu Xun drove to pick up Luo Ning, and when they reached the private room and saw only Xue Ying, they guessed he had come to keep his promise.

Xue Ying stood up and poured tea for them with a smile, lifting his cup towards the two, "Great kindness does not need to be thanked. I remember the help you both provided to my family," he said in gratitude.

Although he was the youngest son, upon arriving domestically he had been chosen as the Xue Family’s heir.

This meant that the favor he owed was valuable.

Luo Ning and Lu Xun also raised their cups and took a sip of tea, "Young Master Xue is too kind."

After sitting down and ordering their food, they started to chat idly.

Xue Ying didn’t beat around the bush, and soon stated his purpose, "I promised you before, if you could rescue my family members, I would tell you a secret I stumbled upon unintentionally."
