Chapter Seventy-Five Return

  After dealing with the bodies and belongings of the two old men, Wu Zongyue immediately went underground again and soon arrived at the hiding place prepared for Wu Renjie and his mother.

  Under the dim candlelight, Wu Renjie was still curled up on the bed, quietly shrinking into a corner without moving. After Wu Zongyue slipped in, he saw Wu Renjie staring blankly ahead but didn't see his own wife, and a bad thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

  "Renjie, what's wrong with you? Where is your mother now?" Wu Zongyue asked, stepping forward with a hint of sadness on his face.

  Wu Renjie heard the sound, lifted his head, and looked at Wu Zongyue in front of him with a dazed expression. After a while, his eyes regained their luster, and he realized that the person in front of him was his father. He hurriedly rushed over, as if afraid that he would leave again, tightly hugging Wu Zongyue and bursting into tears, his voice hoarse and helpless, unable to stop for a long time.

  ……

  Four days later, Wu Yeyu and his group of over twenty people, plus a large black dog, finally arrived at the foot of Qing Shui Town after rushing slowly.

  The original six-day journey was compressed into four days, and even cultivators couldn't help but show a few signs of fatigue, especially those with lower cultivation levels in the group. Their sweat had long since soaked through their clothes, although Wu Ye also used his water control technique to keep them dry, but physically there was no good solution. However, despite being tired, everyone finally made it back.

  Along the way, Wu Yuer didn't have any issues, and as a child's physical strength wasn't a problem to begin with, he recovered especially quickly. Moreover, Wu Yuer was still a cultivator who had entered the Xiantian realm, so under the illumination of the starry sky, his recovery ability was naturally even more exceptional.

  Just yesterday, Wu Yeyu's Barbaric Bull Skill also successfully entered the third layer, obtaining 900 catties of strength. His body naturally became more robust and resilient as his skill level increased, with a surge in vitality, making him feel like he was bursting with energy and blood. He even felt a slight sense of fullness, but fortunately, he was running at the time, and the increase in leg strength also brought him a powerful boost.

  Although in the initial stage, all the guards looked very strange, not only amazed at his infinite strength, but also puzzled as to why the young master would always create a big hole on the ground every time he ran and jumped.

  However, as Wu Ye Yu gradually grasped his own strength, with the help of muscle control and basic footwork, the interval was only about one or two hours. Wu Ye Yu could already use his strength more smoothly and no longer stumbled into pitfalls. Nevertheless, this was just a preliminary control, and to truly master his own strength, he needed several days to hone it.

  "Hiss! This damn thing is only at the third level, and after 27 days, the Barbaric Bull God Technique will advance to the fourth level. At that time, it'll be a force of 2700 jin, and now it's already somewhat difficult to fully absorb the body's force. Later on, won't it be even more unbearable? Looks like I need to think of a way from the system."

  Wu Yeru hurried along, muttering to himself in a low voice. As he walked through the streets of the small town, Wu Yeru had a strange feeling. He noticed that whether it was passersby or vendors, when they looked at him and his group from the Wu family, their faces all showed a few hints of a strange expression. The feeling was inexplicable and couldn't be put into words. The guards also found it strange, but didn't pay attention to it.

  After arriving at the Wu family's large courtyard, everyone looked at the scene in front of them, with thousands of people working together, shouting slogans, and the sound of loud shouts never-ending, as well as several piles of uncollected house ruins. They finally understood why the people in the small town would look at them with that kind of gaze before.

  "This...this is our Wu family being destroyed once again!?" One of the guards stood with his mouth agape, staring at the scene before him, his expression somewhat dazed.

  It wasn't until some time had passed that everyone finally came back to their senses.

  The heavily bearded guard said with a somewhat heavy expression: "After this disaster, I don't know how many of the brothers in our household are left. Alas! However, thinking about it, the family members of those deceased brothers should have been taken care of by the master..."

  The guards looked at each other in silence, their hearts feeling somewhat empty. At this moment, no one suspected the safety of their master, nor was there any need to suspect, because Wu Zongyue was invincible in their minds.

  Wu Ye's expression was calm, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, and her lips pursed tightly, but it was unclear what she was thinking at that moment.

  ……

  One of the guards found a foreman and asked him, only to learn that at this time the master and Third Young Master had already taken the newly recruited servants to the manor outside the small town, leaving behind a message saying they would go over when they returned.

  Now that the master of the house has given his orders, everyone is not delaying, and this ruined scene and the workers' working scene are not good to look at. It seems that although the Wu family has been destroyed twice, for these ordinary craftsmen, it is still impossible to do anything sneaky or deceitful to the intact Wu family, otherwise, a few guards would not be able to withstand them. It's hard to say, this is the sorrow of artisans in an environment where strength is respected above all else.

  After a brief examination, several guards stepped forward and gave a few warnings. After obtaining the trembling promise of the foreman, the crowd set off towards the Wu family's suburban villa.

  "Damn it! The furniture I've used for over a decade was also burned, and those were really good quality things, all made of solid wood... Luckily, when I left, I brought my mom's memorial tablet with me, otherwise either the tablet would be lost or someone with ill intentions would notice, and then I'd get into big trouble. Haha... these assassins are simply... deserving of death!"

  Wu Yeru rode on a tall horse, calmly looking at the increasingly close Wu family mansion, looking at the increasingly close Pillar of Heaven (a name he gave himself), constantly thinking about revenge in his heart.

  First, to take revenge, you must first know who the other party is. From the existing information, it can be seen that the other party is also a force of the same level as the Wen family, otherwise they would not dare to act rashly and even want to hold Wen Xiyue hostage. From this point on, it is clear that the Wu family and oneself are no match for the opponent, and it is estimated that this time wanting to destroy the Wu family is just a small revenge action.

  "Alas! The difference between the two is too great, so first and foremost, we should think about how to protect ourselves. Hmm... This matter originated from Weng Jia, at that time Weng Jia will definitely not just stand by and do nothing, he will take action for sure. Moreover, we are also considered to have a connection with them, which is why we got implicated, plus the betrothal gifts I sent out previously... Thinking about it, there shouldn't be any problems in the short term, it's all just a misunderstanding."

  Wu Yeru thought of Wen Xiyue's shy little face, her bright and unparalleled beauty, and a smile involuntarily curled up at the corner of his mouth.

  Secondly, if you want to take revenge, you need to have your own power. Although everything else is illusory in the face of absolute strength, even a very strong person will always have times when they can't reach everywhere. At least after becoming powerful, there will still be people who need to handle some small matters, and it's impossible to do everything personally, so you need to have a group of capable subordinates.

  "Then the system's slave system should be useful now..."

  The so-called slave system doesn't refer to buying slaves from the system, nor is it about purchasing some kind of robot production line from the system. These were all checked by Wu Ye Yu when the system was upgraded, it's not that the system didn't have them for sale, but rather his permissions weren't enough.

  According to the system itself, at least wait until you have the system's fifth-level permission before making a purchase. Now, because I broke through the innate boundary, my energy level was upgraded by one rank, and I only got second-level permission.

  But Wu Yeru thought for a moment, even if it was calculated that the sword soldier broke through the sword long, the upgrade of the internal energy quality, and when the sword general broke through the sword king, the upgrade of the energy, that would be only the fourth-level authority.

  "Want to upgrade to level 5, do I have to wait until I become a Sword God? By that time, what's the point of having robots or slaves? What's the point of having bicycles? I'll already be the supreme ruler of humanity, will I still worry about not having enough subordinates?" Every time he thinks about this, Wu Ye Yu can't help but affectionately greet the system.

  However, apart from being unable to buy slaves and robots from the system, the slave system is actually still somewhat useful, even to the point of being ridiculously so.

  All you need to do is hold the system's contract document, drip a drop of slave object's blood on it, and you can fully own all the slaves. There is no problem with resistance. When the time comes, the system will automatically implant loyal thinking into the slave's brain, hehehe, it's quite versatile.

  As for the conditions of signing a contract, whether it's voluntary or not doesn't matter, as long as the other party's strength isn't more than one stage above your own, then there's no problem! In other words, if you're currently a high-ranking sword soldier, at most you can take in a high-ranking sword master to be your slave, which is very practical and also very overbearing.

  "But I like it, convenient and practical, and don't have to worry about the other person's loyalty issues, it saves a lot of brainwashing time." Wu Yeyu jumped off the horse and pulled the reins, walking with the guards along the mountain road towards the manor.

  Again! If you want to avenge the Assassin organization, it's going to take time, and this is one of the most important points. Whether it's improving your own strength or building up your forces, these are all things that require time, and there's no way to shorten that time.

  Wu Ye Yu thought to this point, lowered his head and took a look at himself, although robust, but still immature small body, in his heart helplessly thought: "Endure it, my young master's time is long, will eventually have the day to endure out of the head, when I will let you see, how I ~ eliminate your kind of petty villains ~!"

  Just as Wu Ye Yu was lost in thought, the crowd had already arrived at the Wu family's mansion. At the entrance, there were new servants who came to report and several housekeepers who helped the crowd carry their luggage, all with a diligent appearance.

  Wu Yeyu was very satisfied with this, looking at the beautiful scenery of the manor with its clear mountains and water, listening to the continuous crisp bird calls by her ear, she unconsciously thought: "This is still the same as before, it's much more comfortable than the Wu family in the small town."

  Just then, the master of the Wu family, Wu Zongyue, and the third young master of the Wu family, Wu Renjie, had already come out to greet them. The two were jumping around energetically, looking like they hadn't been injured at all. The guards' hearts also felt more at ease, and their trust and admiration for their master grew unconsciously. They were just about to pay their respects to the master when someone else spoke up first.

  "Fourth brother! You've finally returned! I hope you can put aside past grievances and teach me the three cultivation methods that I'm not worthy of!" Wu Renjie, under the shocked gaze of his guards, directly knelt down in front of Wu Yeru, crying out hoarsely.
