Chapter 420 - Dealing With the Zhao Family, Part III

Gu Qi didnt question too closely. He simply held the bowl of medicine in his hands, and cautiously sat at the headboard of the bed: Have a safe journey.

Gu Zuo waved his hand, turned around, and left the room.

Outside the room, Gongyi Tianheng just happened to open his eyes and stand up: Ah Zuo, ready to go?

Gu Zuo smiled and said: Lets

add a little color to the Zhao Familys face

!

Those seven organizations had already deployed all kinds of methods to target the Zhao Family. During this brief period, several trivial problems appeared among the Zhao Familys businesses. However, if these problems werent addressed in time, it would lead to the collapse of some large businesses. What Gu Zuo and Tianheng wanted to do right now was to cripple the martial strength of at least two members of the Zhao Family.

Gu Zuo and Tianhengs figures were like ghosts and demons. Within a few breaths of time, they arrived inside one of the Zhao Familys villas. In this place was a secret cultivation s.p.a.ce for a Zhao Family elder. His age exceeded one hundred years. Like the old Zhao Family Head, he had long stopped involving himself in the Zhao Familys other affairs.

On this day, he was originally in the middle of practicing a branch of martial discipline. Although his body was withered, his every movement still held incredible might.

All of a sudden, a streak of surging force rushed over. The elders heart trembled, and his body turned over to get out of the way! However, for some reason, this force arrived so rapidly and violently. Although he dodged, this forced seemed to recognize only him, and ruthlessly smashed an area slightly below his navel!

In the blink of an eye, the elders dantian was like a leaking balloon. Countless strands of inner power flowed out of that rupture.

In the modern era, for martial artists at Transformed Energy and above, the dantian became the largest place where inner power was stored. Nevertheless, it was a weak point. Once the dantian was damaged, the inner power within the meridians would also subsequently leak out.

The elder only had enough time to let out a miserable cry. His entire body was already completely powerless like a genuine old man. Then, he fell to the ground with a heavy thud.

If someone looked carefully, they would discover that huge changes were occurring to the elder In the past, although his body was withered, his skin was still flat, smooth, and had a glossy sheen. But now, even his skin became wrinkled and creased with advanced age. The whole person appeared to dry up and atrophy. All the energy throughout his body dissipated.

And the most lamentable thing was that, from start to finish, this elder never figured out who really attacked him.

He also never discovered the tiniest traces of the person who came

A similar event happened in another villa.

It wasnt until the morning of the next day, when the Zhao Familys servants delivered food to these two elders, that that the two decrepit old men were discovered. The elders had slowly crawled to their own sofas with barely a breath of life in them. They were as skinny and shriveled as human skeletons wrapped in a layer of skin.

This kind of discovery created a stir throughout the entire Zhao Family!

Zhao Hongying slapped the breakfast table and stood up: C-check everywhere! Look through all of the monitors! We have to get to the bottom of this!

When Zhao Ji disappeared, no traces or clues were found. Yet, not long after Zhao Ji went missing, the Zhao Familys two elders were met with disaster.

Who was the hidden hand behind the scenes?

Could it really have something to do with Zhao Ji? That couldnt be right. In the beginning, when they brought back Zhao Ji, they had already done an investigation. Apart from his same-s.e.x lover who similarly didnt have any background, there was only a mewling five-year-old adopted son. There were basically no other helpers!

As such, was it someone who found the Zhao Family displeasing to the eyes?

Zhao Hongying thought about the unfavorable business situation lately, and a deeply-felt sense of crisis suddenly appeared in his heart Their Zhao Family was tightly guarded, but someone still strolled through it un.o.bstructed like it was their back garden. This was simply an enormous disgrace. No matter what price they had to pay, they had to thoroughly investigate this matter!

On the other side of things, Gu Zuo accompanied his familys big brother to the Zhao Family to shatter the two elders dantians and cripple their martial disciplines. His heart felt much more comfortable After those two old men were crippled, they looked pitiful, but once he remembered how many people they harmed, he didnt have an ounce of sympathy.

Their karmic retribution had arrived.

Once the two returned to their residence, Zhao Ji had just finished drinking a bowl of medicine.

Gu Zuo came over to take Zhao Jis pulse. He smiled and said: Dad, after a little while, we can take father to the next step.

Gu Qi was happy: Then, what do I need to do?

Gu Zuo said: Dad, you can go find a bath barrel He recalled that this world didnt use bath barrels, and switched terms, I mean, find a bathtub. Afterwards, Ill refine a portion of medicinal decoction, and put it into the bathtub. After that, dad will take off fathers clothes, and put him inside the bathtub to soak.

Since he spoke so clearly, it was only natural that Gu Qi quickly understood. Hence, he nodded his head: Ill go right now.

Gu Zuo waved a hand. He brought out the medicinal cauldron once again, and started refining a decoction that he had long conceptualized. This type of decoction was inspired from when he was researching some Heaven and Earth Physiques. Although his fathers body didnt have any signs of a special const.i.tution, once Zhao Ji recovered, he was going to return with them to the other world. It would be better to take advantage of this opportunity to stimulate his fathers potential as much as possible. Nouris.h.i.+ng from the outside, and supplementing deficiencies from the inside. With this two-p.r.o.nged approach, as his fathers health improved, he could also become even stronger than ordinary people. Gu Zuo could build a stable foundation for him.

While thinking this, Gu Zuos hand seals turned even more abstruse and mysterious. Not long after, the cauldron of medicinal decoction was successfully refined.

He took out lots of untainted water, and poured everything into the large bathtub that his dad dragged out. Shortly thereafter, the decoction blended with the untainted water. Only a short while later, the water within that bathtub transformed into a bright and vivid red. The medicinal decoction acted like lava. The solution gurgled as it released lots of bubbles.

Gu Zuo promptly said: Dad, put father inside!

Gu Qi hastily emerged from the bedroom carrying Zhao Ji on his back. Then, he took off Zhao Jis clothes, and placed him in the tub: This decoction wont burn him, will it?

Although he knew that his son was an expert, that lava looked too scary.

Gu Zuo smiled and said: Its only slightly scalding. It wont injure father. But dad, you need to pay attention. Dont let father flail and move around. You especially cant let him get out.

Gu Qi grunted noncommittally, and started observing Zhao Jis reactions.

The next moment, he realized why his son needed to give such a warning.

It was because, after Zhao Ji was submerged in the bathtub, his figure began twitching slightly. The skin of his body, which had been locked away for eight years, had already turned pale and fragile. At this moment, small granule-like b.u.mps swelled across the surface. These b.u.mps quickly expanded, and in the blink of an eye, turned into sheets of white skin. It seemed as if the outer layer of skin over the whole body was about to peel off. It looked very frightening.

Moreover, this was certainly painful

Gu Qi was distressed, but he kept his sons warning in mind. He tightly gripped Zhao Jis hands within his own. He paid attention the entire time, and didnt let Zhao Ji jostle around.

However, beyond both peoples expectations, even though it was already that agonizing, Zhao Ji still didnt move. It appeared that he only wanted Gu Qi to hold his hands. He was satisfied to have Gu Qi within his own line of sight, and it seemed that he was already insensitive to the pain lancing all over his body Let alone running away, he didnt move one bit.

Seeing Zhao Ji acting this way, Gu Zuo scratched his nose, and only said: Dad, at intervals of thirty minutes, you can tear away a layer of white skin on father. After two hours, you can take father out.

Gu Qi stared fixedly at Zhao Ji. His eyes p.r.i.c.kled with heat: Okay, I understand.

Subsequently, Gu Zuo returned to the front of the medicinal cauldron. He recited out loud, and started to recall the following treatment plan.

He wanted to do this perfectly.

Once the two hours pa.s.sed, the decoction inside the bathtub had already been completely absorbed by Zhao Ji. Gu Qi had torn off four layers of white skin for Zhao Ji. With every shedding, Gu Qi found that the color and l.u.s.ter of Zhao Jis skin became a little more glossy. After the fourth shedding was done, Zhao Jis body no longer looked emaciated and malnourished. Instead, the originally atrophied muscles had slowly gained some thickness. The entire person looked a lot more healthy.

At this time, when observing Zhao Jis appearance, a person could see the outline of his original handsome features. One could well imagine the good looks he would possess once he totally recovered.

Although he wouldnt be as handsome as Tianheng, going through so many trials and tribulations had given him a type of indescribable temperament.

However, as the childhood companion who couldnt have been more familiar with Zhao Ji, Gu Qi didnt stop to admire Zhao Jis striking features. Rather, he hurriedly pulled him from the ice-cold bathtub, and carried him to the bed.

Zhao Ji still didnt move around. No matter how Gu Qi treated him, Zhao Ji was extremely obedient It was just that other people would feel their hair stand on end if they looked into those pitch-black eyes.

Afterwards, Gu Zuo refined another bowl of medicinal soup, and let Gu Qi feed Zhao Ji: Fathers body needs to be constantly fed. Dad, this period of time will be hard on you.

Gu Qi shook his head: This is what I should do. Son, its still you who has been working hard.

Gu Zuo just smiled: Isnt this what I should be doing, too?

Gu Qi patted his head, and continued taking care of Zhao Ji.

Gu Zuo walked to Tianhengs side, sat down, and leaned against him.

Tianheng had just finished operating his cultivation method when he sensed that familiar scent appear next to him. Slowly opening his eyes, he pulled Gu Zuo into an embrace: Ah Zuo, whats wrong?

Gu Zuo nuzzled into Tianhengs shoulder: Father has been rescued, and the Zhao Familys destruction is close at hand. Now, we can replenish the systems energy so it can tell us how to use the Void-Breaking Shuttle.

He never woke the system up again because there was always something else to do. They were very busy. Now that everything that needed handling was done, all that remained was to think of a way to go back to the other world. As such, taking advantage of the time of Zhao Jis convalescence, they could also make some preparations.

Tianheng faintly nodded: Ah Zuo knows how to replenish the systems energy.

Gu Zuo also nodded: It should be medicinal qi.

In fact, the system said from the very beginning that medicinal qi maintained its functionality. In his storage s.p.a.ce, there were lots of medicinal qi that he could withdraw at any time Previously, he wanted to see whether the system was capable of recovering on its own, but it appeared that the speed was too slow. It was better that he replenished it.

It was just that he didnt know how much was appropriate. In addition, did this require the system to absorb the medicinal qi on its own?

After thinking it over, Gu Zuo felt a little awkward.

Tianheng smiled and said: Why dont you call out to the system again?

Gu Zuo promptly transmitted.

[Hey! System! Try taking out a hundred strands of medicinal qi by yourself?]

The next moment, the medicinal qi within the storage s.p.a.ce decreased by one hundred strands.

The systems message also flashed through Gu Zuos mind.

[Okay.]

Gu Zuo:
