Chapter 0268 – Father and Son – Absolute Return

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

"Greetings Sect Master, there is something important to report!"

The beloved Liu Meng hurriedly walked into the council chamber and transmitted, "Young Lord, Young Lord has been captured by the people of the Devil Cult!"

Xu Bozhong heard the words, but his face did not change, and he said lightly, "Wait until the deliberations are over."

He continued to discuss the sect’s affairs with several elders, as if he hadn’t heard Liu Meng’s report at all.

It wasn’t until the proceedings were over and the crowd dispersed that he opened his mouth and asked, "Who captured Qing’er?"

"Yes, it’s the Demon Sect’s Young Sect Master."

The rumors in the jianghu about the Demon Sect’s young master Jian Wuji had long spread throughout the martial arts forests of Hunan.

"Does he know that Ching-er is my son?"

"Know."

When Xu Bozhong heard this, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

"What’s going on?"

"Young master, young master he, killed someone ……"

Xu Bozhong was not surprised, as if he had known this would happen.

"Who did he kill?"

"He, he killed several people, among them, one of them, is a disciple of the Hunan branch of the devil sect ……"

"Confused!"

Xu Bozhong angrily rebuked, he was not angry because his son had killed someone, but because he had been so stupid as to leave such an obvious handle.

"This matter, now that it has become a big deal, I’m afraid it won’t end well." Liu Meng said worriedly.

"Young Master of the Demon Sect, why did you personally arrest Qing’er?"

"It is said that the young master was at a banquet when he clashed with the young master of the Vegetarian Night Gang, Xifeng, and in order to take revenge on the young master, he told the Demon Sect’s young master about the young master’s murder."

When Xu Bozhong heard this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Xifeng, very good!"

He secretly memorized this name in his mind, and he knew that after this incident, Xi Feng, would never have a good ending.

"Prepare a car and go to the Demon Sect’s branch altar!"

"Greetings, Young Sect Master."

Xu Bozhong walked into the room and bowed respectfully to Jian Wuji.

Jian Wuji sized up Xu Bozhong, secretly surprised in his heart.

Although Xu Bozhong is over half a hundred years old, but still hale and hearty, sharp eyes, not angry from the authority, at a glance it is known to be a long time in the upper position of the person.

"Sect Master Xu, I’ve heard a lot about you."

"Young Preceptor, you are so very kind."

"I have heard that Sect Master Xu has taught his son well, and that your son, Xu Qing, is a dragon and phoenix among men, I wonder if this is true or not?"

Jian Wuji deliberately brought up Xu Qing, wanting to test Xu Bozhong’s reaction.

"The Young Sect Master is joking, the dog son is stubborn and unruly, making the Young Sect Master laugh."

Xu Bozhong didn’t have the slightest bit of anger on his face, instead, he had a humble look on his face.

"My dog’s son was young and ignorant and made a big mistake, so please, Young Sect Master, for the sake of the old man, spare his life."

He said, and went to his knees.

"Sect Master Xu, there is no need to be polite."

Jian Wuji hurriedly held him back and said, "I didn’t come here this time to pursue Xu Qing’s culpability, but rather, I wanted to talk to Sect Master Xu, about a deal."

"Deal?"

Xu Bozhong’s heart stirred as he asked, "I wonder what kind of deal the Young Sect Master, wants to talk about?"

"I’ve heard that Sect Master Xu and Lv Zhaoguang, collaborated on some business, I wonder if this matter, is it true or not?"

Hearing the words "Lu Zhaoguang", Xu Bozhong’s heart was suddenly in awe.

"So, he’s here for this!"

He said darkly in his mind.

"Young Sect Master, you, you’ve misunderstood, I, I have no business dealings with Lu Zhaoguang."

He flatly denied it.

"Is that so? Why, then, did Lu Zhaoguang hide his entire fortune, in the Temple of Yanghe?"

"This, this ……"

Xu Bozhong was speechless, he did not expect that Jian Wuji even knew about this matter!

"It seems that Sect Master Xu, is not going to tell the truth."

Jian Wuji said coldly.

"I, I ……"

Xu Bozhong stammered, not knowing how to answer.

"In that case, I will have no choice but, to place Xu Qing, at the disposal of the Martial Alliance."

"No, don’t!"

Xu Bozhong instantly panicked, and hurriedly said, "Young Sect Master, you, what do you want, just ask, as long as I, Xu Bozhong, can do it, I will definitely go through fire and water!"

"What I want, is very simple, it’s Sect Master Xu, all the business he did with Lu Zhaoguang, and all the accounts."

"This, this ……"

Xu Bozhong hesitated, he knew that if he agreed to Jian Wuji’s request, it would be tantamount to handing over his own handle, into Jian Wuji’s hands.

"What? Could it be that Sect Master Xu, is not willing?"

"I, I ……"

While Xu Bozhong was still hesitating, Jian Wuji had already lost his patience.

"In that case, we have nothing to talk about."

With that, he stood up and made to leave.

"Young Sect Master, please stay!"

Xu Bozhong hurriedly called out to him and said, "I, I promise you!"

He eventually chose to compromise.

"Very good."

Jian Wuji nodded in satisfaction, then said, "Then please, Sect Master Xu, hand over all the information, to me."

"Yes."

Xu Bozhong reluctantly agreed.

He knew that he, this time, was completely planted.

Late at night, Xu Bozhong, alone, went to the river to fish.

The fog was thick, obscuring the moonlight and his heart.

There was a sound of footsteps, coming from a distance.

"Da, da, da ……"

The footsteps, steady and strong, as if unaffected by any external factors, came firmly toward him.

A figure, slowly walked out of the thick fog.

The man wore a bucket hat and couldn’t see his face, but he exuded a mysterious aura around him.

"My son, captured by the young master of the Demon Sect."

Xu Bozhong looked at the man and said indifferently.

"Demon Sect Young Master", these four words, in the jianghu, represent supreme power and endless danger.

However, the man was not at all moved and said calmly, "We will settle this."

After saying that, he turned away and disappeared into the thick fog.

The footsteps, too, faded away into the night.
