CHAPTER 1056: CHAPTER 1056: FIERCE BEATING OF LONG QIE

Wang Zhong was taken aback when he heard Long Qie say this. The overwhelming aura of a Grandmaster that Long Qie had displayed during their previous conflict left a profound impression on him. Wang Zhong never expected that a Grandmaster would truly yield in front of him.

At this moment, Wang Zhong felt a surge of immense gratification and satisfaction in his heart, and a slightly amused smile slowly curled at the corner of his mouth. "Are you really willing to accept any punishment from us without resistance?"

Long Qie nodded.

Wang Zhong laughed heartily and was about to stand up.

However, as he was halfway up, Wang Chongyang reached out, pressed his shoulder, and pushed him back down.

Wang Zhong looked at Wang Chongyang in confusion, "Father, what are you doing?"

Wang Chongyang’s eyes flickered as he pondered something, and finally, he slowly said, "Brother Long, it’s just a bit of mischief from the juniors. You don’t need to take it to heart; it’s better to rest."

"Father!"

Wang Zhong was bewildered and shouted.

Wang Chongyang had his own considerations.

Even if the foundation of the Huashan Sect hasn’t been revealed, allowing Sky Net to break through Huashan, it only proves that Sky Net has formidable strength! Even Medicine King Valley would not unnecessarily offend such a force. Hence, Wang Chongyang had to put on a show.

As for his true thoughts, they might be different.

Therefore, Wang Chongyang put on a stern face and coldly said to Wang Zhong, "Hmph, don’t I know you? Brother Long must have acted because you’ve done something outrageous again. Stop talking!"

Wang Zhong was quite discontent, but since Wang Chongyang had spoken, he had to obey.

Long Qie glanced at Wang Chongyang in surprise, then smiled and said, "As expected of someone from a sacred place, such a broad mind is truly admirable to Long Qie."

Wang Chongyang chuckled and said, "Brother Long, please go have a rest. As for Zhong’er, I will surely discipline him."

After Long Qie left, Wang Zhong stood up with a grim face and walked out without a word.

Wang Chongyang shouted, "Stop!"

Wang Zhong turned around abruptly, angrily shouting, "What more do you want me to do? Are you going to discipline me even when I’ve been beaten?"

Wang Chongyang exclaimed angrily, "Foolish!"

Wang Zhong was stunned, not expecting Wang Chongyang to call him "foolish."

Wang Chongyang patted the chair beside him, motioning for Wang Zhong to sit down, then softened his tone and said, "I have my reasons for doing this, but it’s not to settle the matter."

Even if Wang Zhong was foolish, he now understood that Wang Chongyang must have deeper intentions. He hurriedly sat down and asked, "Father, stop hiding it and just tell me."

Wang Chongyang said, "After all, I am a True Disciple of Medicine King Valley. If I target a guest in Medicine King Valley and word gets out, the impact would be significant, and the Valley Master might hold me accountable! So we must maintain appearances."

Wang Zhong’s eyes lit up, "Father, you mean we just pretend to be friendly on the surface but can deal with Long Qie secretly?"

Wang Chongyang smiled and said, "You’re teachable indeed."

Wang Zhong asked, "Then what should we do? Long Qie is a Grandmaster!"

Wang Chongyang sneered, "What does a Grandmaster count for? Everyone has weaknesses. Just now, I noticed that Long Qie seems to have a desperate craving for the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus. He must have someone very important to him who needs this miraculous medicine to save their life. This is his weakness."

Wang Chongyang’s eyes flashed with a sinister gleam, "As long as we grasp this weakness, Zhong’er, dealing with Long Qie will be as easy as turning your hand!"

...

Long Qie was led by a Medicine King Valley disciple to the guest accommodation. After the disciple left, Long Qie began to contemplate.

Indeed, seeking medicine is difficult.

Wang Chongyang refused so decisively, leaving no room for maneuver at all.

Moreover, he had offended Wang Chongyang’s son.

Though Wang Chongyang had outwardly criticized Wang Zhong at that time, Long Qie, knowing his nature, could see that Wang Chongyang was merely putting on an act.

"In this world, interests are eternal. As long as I can offer something enticing enough for Medicine King Valley, they will naturally agree to an exchange for the medicine."

Long Qie’s eyes flickered with thought.

He already had a vague idea in his mind.

At this moment, there was suddenly a knock on the door. Long Qie opened it and found Wang Zhong and his several lackeys standing outside.

"Mr. Wang... may I ask why you’ve come to see me?" Long Qie wasn’t very fond of Wang Zhong, but for the sake of obtaining the medicine, he kept a good attitude.

Wang Zhong smiled slyly, "Long Qie, the Great Grandmaster, and general of Sky Net, heh, truly awe-inspiring."

Long Qie said nothing, quietly observing Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong chuckled a few times and said, "Do you know that if our grudge isn’t resolved, even if you present something that moves Medicine King Valley, you still won’t get the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus?"

Long Qie slowly nodded. Wang Zhong was the top Inner Sect Disciple, an outstanding talent, and his father was one of the True Disciples.

Long Qie understood Medicine King Valley well; any True Disciple within Medicine King Valley held very high status.

And Wang Chongyang, with profound skill, surely had great influence among the True Disciples.

It’s too easy for him to prevent Long Qie from obtaining the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus!

"What do you want?" Long Qie asked in a deep voice.

Wang Zhong turned his head and exchanged sly glances with his lackeys for a while, then said, "Brother Long is indeed straightforward!"

At this point, his expression suddenly turned cold, "You just have to let me beat you up without retaliating, and this matter will be over."

Long Qie nodded without hesitation, "No problem!"

Wang Zhong waved his hand, "Don’t rush; I haven’t finished. You are a Great Grandmaster, right? If you use even a little bit of your defensive heart, I may not hurt you but instead injure myself. So, you mustn’t defend at all!"

Long Qie still nodded without hesitation, "No problem!"

This time, Wang Zhong’s face showed a surprised expression as he said, "You really agreed?"

Long Qie lowered his voice, "A gentleman’s word is his bond!"

"Straightforward, then I’ll make my move," Wang Zhong laughed heartily, "then I’ll make my move, oh."

A sinister gleam crossed his eyes, and suddenly, he launched a punch squarely at Long Qie’s nose.

Thud!

Indeed, Long Qie did not dodge or defend at all, standing there like a mountain, taking the blow head-on.

Wang Zhong was quite skilled himself, and since Long Qie did not defend, with one punch, he knocked Long Qie’s nose askew, causing blood to flow profusely.

"Nice feel, haha."

Wang Zhong’s eyes were filled with malice, and he laughed insidiously.

Then he began punching and kicking, even inviting his lackeys to join in.
