Chapter 75 Run! If Shen Yu finds us, we're all dead!
A group of people rushed out of the villa like stray dogs, wanting nothing more than to escape Jiangcheng immediately and get as far away from Shen Yu, who was like a devil.
Inside the Yunjingtai villa, it was as if nothing had happened.
Shen Yu had just finished building a block castle for his daughter when Nian Nian clapped her hands and cheered, hugging his neck and kissing him on the cheek.
"Daddy's amazing! The castle's finished!"
"Our Niannian is also very capable."
Shen Yu smiled and ruffled his daughter's hair, a cold glint flashing deep in his eyes.
He knew, of course, that Zhao Ergou and Qian Long were now desperately trying to escape Jiangcheng.
But after provoking him, do you really think you can just run away unscathed?
There is no such logic in the world.
Jiang Xinlan noticed the fleeting coldness in his eyes, gently tugged at his hand, and asked with some concern:
"Shen Yu, just now... was something really wrong?"
"Don't worry, it's nothing."
Shen Yu snapped out of his daze, looked at her again, and the coldness in his eyes instantly turned into tenderness.
"I've crippled that clown's cultivation; he can't cause any more trouble now. I'll go out for a bit to take care of the aftermath, then I'll come back and have dinner with you all."
He would not give these people any chance to retaliate, much less allow them to harm Jiang Xinlan and the child again.
Anyone who dares to target him and his family must be prepared to pay the price.

The black Mercedes-Benz van sped along the winding mountain road like a madman, its tires screeching as they rubbed against the ground. It ran two red lights and headed straight for the main residence of the Qian family in Jiangcheng.
The carriage was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Zhao Ergou slumped in the back seat, supported by his two apprentices on either side. His face was ashen, his lips were cracked and purple, and his clothes were soaked with blood.
Every breath he took strained his shattered dantian, causing him to tremble uncontrollably from the pain, and blood continued to spill from his mouth.
He had cultivated Xuanmen techniques for over a decade, but his dantian shattered in a single day, rendering his cultivation useless. Now he's not even as good as an ordinary person.
"Master... Master, hold on! We'll be at the Qian family's main residence soon. The private jet has been arranged, and we'll be able to return to Beijing to find our grandmaster in no time!"
The eldest apprentice looked at his dying state, his voice trembling uncontrollably, and his eyes reddening.
"Back to...back to Beijing...we must leave immediately..."
Zhao Ergou gripped his apprentice's arm, his eyes unfocused, muttering the same few words over and over, a deep-seated fear etched into his very bones.
He still can't understand how his Soul-Locking and Essence-Eroding Array, which was powerful enough to make anyone in the Xuanmen sect, was broken.
Without any movement, without any resistance, and without even noticing the trace of the opponent's attack, the formation collapsed, and he was even backfired, losing all his cultivation.
This was completely beyond his comprehension!
Such an unpredictable and mysterious physique is something that not everyone can possess!
He even doubted whether Shen Yu was human!
At this moment, his only thought was to immediately flee back to the capital and hide with his master Liu Qingxuan, who was in seclusion. Only in this way could he save his life.
Qian Long, sitting in the front passenger seat, was even more panicked than Zhao Ergou.
He was shaking violently, almost dropping his phone, and kept calling his subordinates.
"Hey! Is the plane ready yet?! What? The flight route approval is still pending? Wait my ass! I don't care what method you use, I need to see a private plane ready to take off at Jiangcheng Airport within half an hour! Otherwise, get the hell out of here!"
"And another thing! Immediately destroy everything in the villa that relates to Mr. Zhao! Talismans, magical artifacts, and all records of our previous interactions—leave no trace whatsoever! Now!"
After hanging up the phone, Qian Long slumped in his chair, his back soaked with cold sweat, his heart filled with endless regret.
What was wrong with his brain back then to think of clinging to Zhao Ergou's coattails and provoking that devil Shen Yu?
Now look what happened. Zhao Ergou is crippled. Not only did he fail to kill Shen Yu, but he also got himself killed.
If Shen Yu investigates even slightly, he will find that the Qian family is involved in this matter. In that case, wouldn't the Qian family be doomed as well?
"Mr. Zhao..."
Qian Long turned his head, looked at Zhao Ergou who was barely alive in the back seat, and said with a mournful face,
"You must hold on! As long as you return to Beijing and find Senior Liu Qingxuan, you'll definitely recover! Then we'll seek revenge on Shen Yu!"
All he wanted to do now was get rid of Zhao Ergou, that plague god. Once Zhao Ergou was gone, even if Shen Yu wanted to settle scores, he wouldn't be able to find direct evidence, and the Qian family would still have room to maneuver.
Zhao Ergou had his eyes closed, too exhausted to even curse, and could only manage to squeeze out a few words:
"Hurry...hurry up..."
A dozen minutes later, the van braked suddenly and stopped in front of the Qian family's detached villa.
The Qian family's bodyguards were already lined up at the door, and they were all stunned when they saw the car door open.
The master from the capital city, whom their young master had brought back with utmost respect, was full of vigor and seemed unfathomable when he arrived a few days ago. Now, how come he's covered in blood and being carried down the stairs?
"What are you looking at! Come and help!"
Qian Long cursed angrily, watching the bodyguards frantically carry Zhao Ergou into the villa. He then quickly grabbed the butler and asked urgently,
"Have all the items been destroyed? Has the flight been arranged?"
"Young Master, everything related to it has been burned, leaving no trace."
The butler quickly bowed and replied, his face also looking very unpleasant.
"But the airport said it would take at least two hours to approve the flight route. Due to air traffic control, there's really no way to expedite it."
"Two hours?!" Qian Long exploded instantly.
"The daylily will be cold after two hours! If that devil Shen Yu comes looking for us, we're all doomed!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a piercing scream suddenly echoed from the villa's living room.
Qian Long's heart skipped a beat. He rushed into the living room like a madman and saw the two bodyguards carrying Zhao Ergou slamming against the wall as if they had been pushed hard by something and passed out.
Zhao Ergou fell to the ground, curled up in pain, and let out a painful howl.
"What's going on?! What happened?!" Qian Long was terrified and shouted sharply.
"It's...it's a backlash from the formation..."
Zhao Ergou lay on the ground, convulsing in pain, his voice weak.
"My dantian is shattered, and I can't suppress the Yin energy within me anymore... Quick... help me up... we must leave immediately..."
Qian Long finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly had his bodyguard help Zhao Ergou to the sofa. He then paced anxiously, constantly calling the airport to urge the flight to depart.
The entire Qian family villa was in chaos, everyone was on edge, as if the end of the world had come.
