238: Chapter 238 Threat!

238: Chapter 238 Threat!

Zhou Yu’s eyes instantly turned icy.

He didn’t attack the stone door again, but instead placed his palm on the ground and then closed his eyes.

Before long, Zhou Yu’s eyes violently snapped open.

“It’s a formation!”

Zhou Yu extended two fingers, and as a terrifying surge of Nether Fire True Qi flowed, he pointed at the ground beneath him.

“Bursting Flame Finger!”

Boom!

A faint trembling sound came.

However, it soon returned to calm.

Zhou Yu frowned.

He hadn’t expected that even the most powerful Bursting Flame Finger he could currently muster was unable to destroy the formation beneath the ground.

Nevertheless, he could sense that if the power was just a bit stronger, he would be able to break through the underground formation.

His Nether Fire True Qi was now only at the quasi-complete level, but as long as he could reach the complete level, the power of Bursting Flame Finger could be taken to a higher level.

However, while it seemed only a small step from quasi-complete to complete, in reality, it would take at least a year or two of cultivation to achieve mastery.

Luckily, he had previously obtained a lot of Spiritual Medicine from the Lin Family in the provincial city and from Master Liu, believing that with the help of these medicines, a breakthrough would happen quickly.

Zhou Yu immediately sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.

While cultivating, he asked,

“Elder, how did you get locked up in here?”

The person in the cell next door replied,

“One of Han Tang’s subordinates had a conflict with my son, the man crippled my son, so, I broke the man’s one leg.”

Zhou Yu’s brow furrowed.

“Just for that reason?”

“Wuge is really too overbearing.”

The man replied sarcastically,

“Any ruler is like that.”

“And the greater the power, the more unbridled they become, with an influence spreading across the whole of Dragon Country like Wuge, they naturally fear nothing.”

“I only regret that I didn’t kill the man back then, allowing him to still roam free to this day.”

The man’s tone was filled with resentment.

Zhou Yu asked,

“May I ask your name, elder?”

“Su Wu.”

“Senior Su, no need to grieve, I can take you out of here.”

Su Wu was stunned.

“You?”

“Kid, don’t dream.”

“When I was first locked in here, my cultivation had already reached the grand Innate realm.

Are you more cultivated than I am?”

“Back then, I didn’t take this place seriously either, but as you can see, after so many years, my cultivation is almost depleted, and I still haven’t been able to leave.”

Su Wu sighed,

“Perhaps, this is fate.”

Zhou Yu offered a slight smile and said no more.

He began to cultivate with all his heart and soul.

Outside the cell.

Tang Fei, to be precise, Han Tang, was standing in front of a corpse.

The corpse was that of his brother, Han Chufeng.

“Brother, that kid Zhou Yu is already under my control.

Don’t worry, I won’t let him die easily.

I’ll make him endure all the torment in the world.”

Madness and malice filled Han Tang’s eyes.

“Rest well, I’m going to torture him now.”

Just as Han Tang was about to return to the cell, suddenly, a message came in on his phone.

Han Tang took out his phone and looked at it, then was immediately taken aback.

“Vice Minister Jiang is coming to Yancheng?

All deputy team leaders and above are summoned to greet him?”

“Why is Vice Minister Jiang coming now?”

Han Tang’s face showed puzzlement, but he quickly tidied up and walked out.

Before leaving, he glanced at the cell where Zhou Yu was kept.

“Zhou Yu, wait for me to come back, then I’ll deal with you properly.”

The next morning.

In the cell, Zhou Yu slowly opened his eyes.

After a night of cultivation, he had almost exhausted all the Spiritual Medicine he had on him.

His Nether Fire True Qi was still just a hair’s breadth away from reaching the complete realm.

Although not fully complete, Zhou Yu reckoned that, with the Bursting Flame Finger, he should now be able to destroy the underground formation.

Just then, Zhou Yu’s phone suddenly rang.

It was Wu Yue calling.

“Zhou Yu, Vice Minister Jiang has arrived.

Where are you now?

I’ll send someone to pick you up.”

Zhou Yu said calmly,

“Sorry, I won’t be able to make it.”

“Tell your Vice Minister Jiang to fend for himself.”

Wu Yue didn’t understand at first.

“Zhou Yu, what’s wrong?

What happened?”

“My wife has been caught by the third team leader of your Wuge, and now I’m locked up in a dungeon…”

Zhou Yu said flatly.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yue’s face was filled with rage.

“What?

Such a thing happened?

I’m sorry, Zhou Yu, just wait, I’ll come to resolve this immediately.”

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yu stood up, stretched lazily, and then said,

“Senior Su, how did you sleep last night?

Get ready, I will take you out now.”

Shortly afterward, the dispirited voice of Su Wu came through,

“Kid, why are you still fantasizing about getting out?”

“Wasn’t I clear enough yesterday?”

Zhou Yu responded cheerfully,

“Senior Su, you’ll see in a moment.”

Just as Zhou Yu was about to make a move, suddenly, footsteps were heard outside.

Following that, Han Tang arrived at the entrance of the dungeon.

Through the small stone window, he looked towards Zhou Yu.

“Zhou Yu, did you sleep well last night?”

Seeing Han Tang, Zhou Yu’s eyes narrowed.

“Tang Fei…

no, I should call you Han Tang.”

Han Tang sneered and revealed a vicious expression,

“It seems you already know everything, so I won’t waste time.”

“Zhou Yu, from the moment you killed my brother Han Chufeng, you should have known that a day like this would come.”

Zhou Yu spoke coldly,

“Han Tang, as a Wuge team leader, you abuse your power for personal gain, truly lawless.”

“Hahaha, I abuse my power?

Zhou Yu, rest assured, just because you killed my deputy team leader Shi Zonghua, according to the rules of my Wuge, you’re supposed to die.”

“Me locking you up here is justified.

I’ll make sure you endure all the torments of this world, wishing you could live or die but unable to do either.”
