Chapter 198: Willing to Lure the Golden Turtle with Fragrant Bait (First Update)



Faced with this sudden news, some were delighted, some were worried.

On the martial arts forum, many were frantically posting messages, all to cheer on their idol, Huaxia’s number one military deity, General Lin.

However, there were still many who were not so optimistic about this battle.

After all, General Lin had been famous for thirty years and fought in many battles, sustaining numerous injuries, and there were rumors that his strength was no longer what it had been.

Under such circumstances, facing the new Ghost God’s Slash from Country R, the outcome was truly hard to predict!

But the reaction among the powerful families in Zhongdu varied.

An Family.

Madame An, who had not shown her face for several days, was invigorated upon hearing this news and immediately convened her two sons to discuss the matter.

An Xue was the first to speak, “This battle will determine the ownership of power for the next decade. General Lin will certainly give it his all. Additionally, this time Country R’s Ghost God’s Slash is unexpectedly a woman, so I believe General Lin will still emerge victorious.”

An Chang shook his head, “General Lin has been famous for too long, and his current strength is a mystery. However, the information I bought at a high price from Country R says that this Ghost God’s Slash has terrifying strength!”

Jin Xiurong sat in a chair with a gloomy face. After a while, he coldly said, “Regardless, if General Lin loses this battle, then Xue An and An Yan, those despicable people, will become rootless trees. At that time, I will let him know the consequences of betraying the family!”

The Chi Family was also holding a similar discussion at this moment.

Chi Chongshan said through gritted teeth, “Once General Lin falls from power, the Chen Family alone will not be enough to protect Xue An. Then, I will take my revenge for Changge!”

At this time, an envoy from Country R had arrived in Huaxia ahead of schedule.

“Respected General, may I ask if you have received the challenge sent by my master?” a man wearing a kimono said with an arrogant tone.

General Lin sat in a chair, watching with an expressionless face before frowning slightly, “The new Ghost God’s Slash is actually a woman?”

The man’s face changed, followed by a cold laugh, “General, I hope you understand that my master is a deity sent from heaven. Be careful with your words!”

This statement changed the expressions of everyone in the room.

An Qing stepped forward, her expression cold as she said, “Matsushima, I hope you also think it through. This is Huaxia, not your Country R!”

Matsushima Nanaiko looked at An Qing with a sneer, then turned to General Lin and said, “Is this the quality of military personnel in your country?”

An Qing’s face changed dramatically.

General Lin waved his hand, signaling her to be silent, and then he said softly, “Then tell me, how should I be careful?”

“General, I expect you and the others to use the word ‘respected’ when referring to my master!” said Matsushima Nanaiko, his eyes filled with reverence.

In the eyes of middle-level members of Orochi Shrine like him, Takeuchi Kiyoko, who was possessed by the Demon God, was a deity of this era and beyond reproach by anyone.

General Lin smiled, then said to the attendee standing next to Matsushima Nanaiko, “Remember to tell your Ghost God’s Slash when you go back that ten days from now on Mingfeng Mountain, twenty li north of the city, I’ll kill her!”

Matsushima Nanaiko was startled and then became furious, “General, are you deliberately insulting the samurai of Country R?”

General Lin suddenly drew his sword, and a sharp Sword Qi split Matsushima Nanaiko in half.

Blood sprayed everywhere.

Then General Lin said coldly, “In Huaxia, it’s not the turn for the likes of you to strut around!”

Everyone was stunned, then they looked at the proudly standing General Lin with eyes full of reverence.

Only in the depths of An Qing’s eyes was there a hint of worry.

That day.

The news of General Lin killing the envoy from Country R reverberated, shaking everyone to the core.

Moreover, there were passionate individuals who praised General Lin in the martial arts forum, declaring that this is what a true iron-blooded soldier should be like!

The previously pessimistic atmosphere about General Lin had also eased somewhat.

Xue An, leading An Yan and his daughter, arrived at the pharmaceutical factory, accompanied by Chen Xiu and his granddaughter Chen Rushi.

When they saw the bottles of pale golden liquid that were produced.

Chen Xiu was dumbfounded and too surprised to speak.

“Mr… Mr. Xue, are these what you said, the divine elixirs that can extend life by twenty years?”

Xue An nodded, “I call them ‘Heaven’s Fate’!”

“Heaven’s Fate!” Chen Xiu muttered to himself, then let out a long sigh.

“Mr. Xue, when you first spoke of this, I thought it was utterly impossible, but to think that in just a few days, you’ve already made it! Truly admirable!”

Xue An smiled, looking at his three busy brothers in the distance, and said lightly, “I was just responsible for giving it a push, many others are busy with the specifics.”

At that moment, Gao Wenyen came down from the production line and upon seeing Chen Xiu, hurriedly clasped his hands together, “Patriarch Chen!”

Chen Xiu, surprised, said, “Divine Doctor Gao? What are you doing here?”

Gao Wenyen was extremely popular in Zhongdu, so of course Chen Xiu recognized him.

Gao Wenyen laughed heartily, “Of course, I’m helping Mr. Xue produce medicine!”

After a few more words, Gao Wenyen turned and went back to his work.

Watching Gao Wenyen’s retreating figure, Chen Xiu couldn’t help but sigh, “Mr. Xue truly has extraordinary methods, even someone like Gao Wenyen is willing to work for you wholeheartedly!”

Chen Xiu was well aware of Gao Wenyen’s temperament; although Divine Doctor Gao was very gentle and refined in his interactions with others, he was actually an extremely proud man.

If he looked down on someone, even if they knelt down and begged him, he wouldn’t lift a finger to treat them.

Xue An smiled and then suddenly changed the subject, “Do you know why I asked you to come?”

Chen Xiu became solemn and clasped his hands, “Please speak, Mr. Xue!”

“With Heaven’s Fate ready, I plan to gather all the noble families of Zhongdu for a press conference!” Xue An said indifferently.

Chen Xiu was startled, then replied in a deep voice, “With this humble face of mine, this is certainly not difficult! However…”

Chen Xiu paused and then continued, “At present, the Ghost God’s Slash from Country R is about to arrive, everyone’s attention is on General Lin, and you and I have already been caught in the whirlwind; if we suddenly announce this now… wouldn’t it be too risky?”

Chen Xiu’s meaning was clear.

Countless eyes were watching them, and the benefits contained within Heaven’s Fate were too astonishing. If announced now, it would undoubtedly lead to unforeseen consequences.

Not only did Chen Xiu think this way, but Chen Rushi was also looking anxiously at Xue An, unable to understand why he wanted to do this!

Xue An let out a light laugh, “That is exactly what I desire. Have you heard this saying?”

“What saying?” Chen Xiu was taken aback.

“To bait the catch with fragrant bait!” Xue An said calmly.

Chen Xiu was shaken to the core, a look of astonishment in his eyes, “You mean to say…”

Xue An nodded, “That’s right, I want to lure out those with ulterior motives and then hold their fates in my hands!”

In his nonchalant voice, there was a powerful confidence!

Hearing this, Chen Xiu stepped back gravely and clasped his hands, “Very well, since you have this intention, my Chen Family is also willing to offer its humble services!”
