529: Chapter 529: Ownerless Spirit Land!

A five-star hotel in the provincial city of Qin State.

Inside a luxurious private room.

Zhou Yu and others were eating and drinking.

Excited smiles adorned everyone’s faces.

They were all Zhou Yu’s relatives and friends, and after today, with the Huan Yu Group owning several hundred billion in assets, plus the support of the Martial Hall and the provincial government, Zhou Yu had indeed become the uncrowned king of the Qin region.

As for these people, they naturally rose with the tide.

Qin Dingbang, Lv Fang, Shui Tianyue, including members of the Zhao Family, Hu Family, the Shenwu Hall, and those from Wanbao Pavilion, were all discussing future development plans with great gusto.

Zhou Yu, on the other hand, stepped out onto the balcony with Wei Wuya.

Holding their glasses, they looked out into the night.

Zhou Yu asked,

“Minister Wei, why would Yu Fengtian lay an ambush for you?

Is there some grievance between you?”

Zhou Yu really couldn’t fathom why Yu Fengtian would have the audacity to target a minister of the Martial Hall; wasn’t he tired of living?

In response to Zhou Yu’s question, Wei Wuya looked deeply at Zhou Yu.

He didn’t speak but instead took out an antique box from his bosom.

“It’s because of this thing.”

Zhou Yu was taken aback.

“What is this?”

Wei Wuya smiled faintly.

“Why don’t you open it and see for yourself?”

Zhou Yu took the box, opened it, and saw an old scroll inside.

Zhou Yu’s eyes brightened at the sight of the old scroll; he realized it was no ordinary item.

Upon opening it, he saw it was a worn map.

The map had crooked symbols and landmarks such as mountains and rivers scribbled on it.

“What is this?”

Zhou Yu asked, puzzled.

Wei Wuya laughed and said,

“This is a map of a spiritual land, and moreover, it’s an unclaimed one.”

“Unclaimed spiritual land?”

“Right!”

Zhou Yu also got excited all of a sudden.

He currently had four of the five elements of True Qi, his Yin Spirit had already reached Great Perfection, and his Yang Spirit was just a small step away from Great Perfection.

The thing he lacked the most in order to break through to the Supreme Saint Realm was a plentiful supply of Spiritual Energy.

He had earlier questioned Yang Shiwu and others, but according to them, the spiritual lands of Dragon Country’s vast territories had already been divided up by those top powers.

The remaining unclaimed spiritual lands were few and far between.

However, precisely because of this, the spiritual energy in these unclaimed lands was also the most abundant.

If he could really find such a place, Zhou Yu was confident that he could break into the Saint Realm in a short period.

Seeing Zhou Yu’s eyes gleaming, Wei Wuya chuckled.

“Zhou Yu, you’re now stuck at the peak of the Great Innate Level, probably due to a lack of abundant Spiritual Energy, right?”

“So, I’ll give this map to you.”

Zhou Yu was startled and quickly waved his hands.

“Minister Wei, this won’t do, it’s too valuable.”

Wei Wuya laughed.

“However valuable it may be, can it be more valuable than my life?”

Zhou Yu gave a wry smile.

“Of course, it can’t compare.”

“So that settles it.”

“Just take this thing.”

“Minister Wei, the drawings on this are too vague; even if I took it, it might be useless to me.”

Wei Wuya thought for a moment, then said,

“How about this, keep the item with me for now, I’ll find someone to clarify the map, and once everything is clear, I’ll give it to you.”

With the conversation having reached this point, Zhou Yu had no grounds to refuse.

“Alright.”

After a full meal and drinks, Qin Dingbang, Lv Fang, and the others all went their separate ways to attend to their own affairs, while Zhou Yu returned to his Half Moon Bay villa with the unconscious Zhao Zhinian in tow.

He threw Zhao Zhinian onto the ground, then casually pulled out the silver needle from his head.

Moments later, Zhao Zhinian slowly woke up.

“How does it feel?

Did you enjoy your sleep?”

Zhou Yu asked with a quasi-smile.

After a brief moment of bewilderment, Zhao Zhinian recalled everything and roared,

“Zhou Yu, what did you do to me?”

Zhou Yu fiddled with the silver needle in his hand, a faint smile on his face,

“Of course, I just made sure you had a comfortable sleep.”

“This thing can put you to sleep and can also make you spill the truth.

However, I believe that a major family like the Zhao Family of the Capital City must have certain protections in their sea of consciousness to prevent you from leaking family secrets.”

“So, if I use force, your brain will simply burst open, am I right?”

Hearing Zhou Yu’s words, Zhao Zhinian’s face turned deathly pale.

Clearly, Zhou Yu had spoken truly.

“What…

what exactly do you want?”

Zhao Zhinian’s face was pale as he spoke.

Zhou Yu smiled faintly.

“It’s simple, I need you to answer a question for me.”

“What question?”

“A colossal family like the Zhao Family of the Capital City, why target the insignificant Lin Family of Yancheng?”

“That…

I don’t know.”

Zhao Zhinian’s face looked terrible as he dodged the question.

Zhou Yu’s eyes narrowed, and he flicked his finger lightly, causing the silver needle to emit a faint humming sound,

“My patience is limited, don’t push me.”

Zhao Zhinian jumped in fright.

He hurriedly said,

“I’m telling the truth, the order to target the Lin Family of Yancheng came from the old master.

He didn’t explain the reasons to us.”

“However…”

“I once overheard the old master saying that the Zhao Family doesn’t really have any conflict with the Lin Family.

The real force that wants to deal with the Lin Family of Yancheng is another big power in the Capital City, and their strength is even above ours in the Zhao Family.”
