Chapter 307 - 305: Mengting Falls Victim
Slowly, Chen Tianlong led Wu Mengting to the back of the crowd.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the elderly man surrounded by the crowd broke through, and the five or six people in front of him were directly thrown away.
It was like a cannonball exploding into the crowd; after the five or six people were flung away, they crashed into the surrounding crowd, causing chaos.
Chen Tianlong was momentarily stunned, suddenly sensing a figure flashing from behind the crowd, followed by the mad old man striking with his palm.
For some reason, Wu Mengting unusually reacted this time, rushing up to intercept, "Don’t harm Tianlong..."
Before she even finished the last word, her back took the old man’s palm strike, which carried no Power Qi.
Chen Tianlong was shocked, quickly pulling Wu Mengting into his arms as she seemed to fall into a daze.
"Damn it, old man, what did you do to her?"
Chen Tianlong was furious. Although he couldn’t sense any Powerful Qi from Zhang Feng’s attack, Wu Mengting suddenly became extremely weak.
It seemed like this damn old man must have done something.
"Haha, nothing much, just injected something into her," the old man said casually.
"What did you inject? Speak now!" Chen Tianlong, uninterested in the old man’s nonsense, grabbed him sharply, threatening, "If you don’t speak, I’ll kill you immediately!"
"Oh my, so scary!"
Xu Kan pretended to be frightened, not worried at all about Chen Tianlong acting on his threat. Because he believed Chen Tianlong wouldn’t dare!
Indeed, Chen Tianlong was only trying to scare Xu Kan. He still didn’t know what had happened to Wu Mengting.
After pushing the old man away, Chen Tianlong quickly checked Wu Mengting’s pulse and found nothing wrong. Yet, Wu Mengting indeed fainted, and he could feel her weakness.
"I’ll ask one more time, old man, who are you exactly? What did you do to Mengting?"
For the first time in his life, Chen Tianlong was this angry. Wu Mengting had become an integral part of his life, and he couldn’t let anything happen to her. So Chen Tianlong was somewhat flustered.
By this time, everyone was stunned.
Even the Xu family father and son, who were directing things, were frozen in place. They couldn’t believe Xu Kan was actually helping them against Chen Tianlong.
Then, Xu Xian pushed through the crowd, slowly walking over.
"Xu Kan, this matter has nothing to do with you. You should return to your room first!"
Xu Xian obviously didn’t appreciate Xu Kan’s assistance. He focused on capturing the madman; however, this guy became too powerful, quickly seizing the position of Patriarch, which scared Xu Xian.
Only, Xu Xian knew he once captured Xu Kan with two of his brothers, and facing him alone now seemed nearly impossible.
"Fool!"
Xu Kan turned around and scorned Xu Xian without the slightest courtesy, "You still have the nerve to talk to your elders. Without you, our Xu Family wouldn’t be like this. We’d be the top family in the South Sea."
"You..."
Xu Xian was left speechless by the old man’s words. Indeed, over a decade ago, the Xu Family was the top family in South Sea City, with great prestige. Now they had fallen almost to the last place, which left him somewhat guilty.
"What, nothing to say? I’m telling you now, Xu Kan will reorganize the Xu Family today. From now on, I am the head of the Xu Family. Xu Xian will step down forever, not even a temporary Patriarch. If you’re sensible, follow me obediently. If not, you’ll regret it in the future."
Xu Kan swept a cold gaze around the crowd, who all simultaneously took a step back, clearly unsure of what to do.
If things really happened as the old man stated, and they continued to serve Xu Xian, they’d likely all be dismissed once the old man became the Patriarch.
"Don’t listen to this madman’s nonsense, everyone get him and throw him into the dungeon. We can’t let him disturb the peace of our Xu Family!"
Xu Xian, having no words, resorted to using his position as Patriarch to instruct his subordinates.
"Hmph, I’d like to see who dares!"
The old man snorted and stomped sharply on the floor. Instantly there was a loud bang, the tiles and cement floor cracked and caved in.
Everyone present widened their eyes in shock. Thinking about that stomp landing on them was utterly terrifying.
Thus, none of them dared to approach!
"Alright, everyone seize Chen Tianlong, we can handle the madman later!" Xu Xian, seeing his men unable to deal with Xu Kan, became furious upon seeing Chen Tianlong behind him.
If it weren’t for Chen Tianlong, Xu Kan might not have appeared today, so Xu Xian vented all his anger on Chen Tianlong.
Chen Tianlong ignored Elder Xu, holding Wu Mengting in his arms, with three silver needles already prepared, and injected with a Powerful Qi this time.
Originally, Chen Tianlong didn’t know silver needles could work like this. It wasn’t until he read about it in Tan Tian’s master’s portable pharmacology that he learned injecting internal energy into the needles caused a drastically different effect.
"Old man, you’re forcing me. I’m only treating you with your own methods." Chen Tianlong sneered and hurled three silver needles toward Xu Kan.
And the position where Xu Kan stood happened to be directly opposite Xu Xian.
Xu Kan suddenly dodged, avoiding Chen Tianlong’s attack. The needles flew straight into Xu Xian’s chest not far away.
"Hiss!"
Xu Xian felt a stabbing pain in his chest and fell unconscious immediately.
Seeing this, everyone turned to Chen Tianlong’s position and immediately understood what was going on.
"Everyone attack, this guy is the culprit!" Xu Fei shouted, pointing at Chen Tianlong.
"Hmph, isn’t your Xu Family well-versed in medical skills? If you want Elder Xu to live, have the mad old man give me the antidote, or in two days, your Elder Xu will be dead!"
With that, Chen Tianlong quickly left, holding Wu Mengting.
He knew this madman wouldn’t reveal what he did to Wu Mengting, and with so many people here, it wasn’t a place to linger.
Given Wu Mengting’s unconsciousness, Chen Tianlong couldn’t fight these people with peace of mind.
But just as Chen Tianlong exited the hallway, hordes of subordinates wielding machetes and iron pipes were in hot pursuit behind him. If Elder Xu got hurt and they didn’t act, they would surely all be fired.
At that moment, Chen Tianlong remembered the two big black dogs from earlier and shouted, "Big black dogs, now is the time..."
"Woof woof..."
Suddenly, two big black dogs dashed out from the side bushes, attacking the quickly approaching crowd, frightening the servants into fleeing and dodging, the entire scene descending into chaos.
Chen Tianlong smirked, holding Wu Mengting as he left swiftly.
He needed to find Master Tan Tian, who might be able to figure out what had happened to Wu Mengting.
Chen Tianlong thought the mad old man was peculiar, not only for whatever he injected into Wu Mengting but also because the Nine Tiger Generals had suddenly become powerful, something Chen Tianlong was already cautious about.
