Chapter 28 Step by Step

  Zhang Shan turned his head and saw two middle-aged men in fine clothes appearing at the entrance of the alley, walking towards them with a leisurely pace.

  Sun Shoucai's face changed greatly after seeing these two people, and he turned his head to shout at the subordinates who had slightly recovered from their fright: "Bring the brothers' corpses, let's go."

  "Sun Guanshi, you're back unscathed, eh? How come so many people died and you just slink away like this? Heh heh, aren't you afraid your master will blame you for not doing a good job?"

  A slightly taller middle-aged martial artist sneered at Sun Shoucai.

  Sun Shoucai was apparently very wary of these two people, and after hearing their cold ridicule, he didn't utter a word, but instead sullenly led his men to hastily retreat, not daring to hesitate for a moment.

  "Go back and tell your master, today's matter, our family will not let it go easily. He'd better give us an explanation." The slightly shorter middle-aged martial artist coldly snorted and ordered.

  Before long, all the people in the Shentu family had left without a single one remaining.

  The two men came to Zhang Shan's side, the man who had spoken earlier smiled and said: "This must be the Zhang Shan that Qing An often mentioned, I am Si Tu Ming Kang, Qing An's second uncle, and this is my third brother Si Tu Ming Xu."

  Zhang Shan raised his hand with difficulty and saluted: "Thanks to the two seniors for their timely help, otherwise I would have been in a precarious situation."

  "You're not bad, Sun Shoucai brought dozens of elite troops to surround and kill you, but not only did they fail to succeed, they also lost many men. Truly a formidable young man." Xie Mingyu nodded in praise.

  Situ Mingkang went forward to examine Zhang Shan's injuries: "You're badly hurt, let's send you home to rest and recover first."

  As they spoke, the two of them grasped his arms, one on each side, and leapt into the air, landing on the rooftop and dashing towards the Zhang family's direction.

  A message token flew from the air and landed in front of Shen Tu Sheng Dong on the wine building one mile outside the Sito Mansion.

  Shentu Shengdong's face lit up with joy: "Sun Shoucai has sent back news, he must have already taken care of that scum."

  As soon as he unfolded the telegram, his smile suddenly froze on his face.

  Shen Tu Changfeng furrowed his brow: "What? Did that little brat escape?"

  "According to Sun Shoucai, that kid's combat strength is extremely powerful, and he even broke through at the critical moment. The people we sent were killed six, and many more were seriously injured... Later, the people from the Situ family arrived, and they had no choice but to retreat." Shen Tu Shengdong's face was full of incredulity.

  After finishing, he couldn't help but burst into a rage: "How does Sun Shoucai do things? A Lingwu realm three-layer with dozens of people, can't even take down a single Lingwu realm one-layer kid, what a waste!"

  Shen Tufeng narrowed his eyes: "Sun Shoucai has always been steady in handling matters, I didn't expect such a twist to occur. It seems we've all underestimated that Zhang Shan."

  He slowly stood up: "Let's go back and ask clearly about the situation, if Sun Shoucai didn't lie, then we may need to make arrangements ahead of time."

  The Situ Mansion soon received news that the Shen family had withdrawn, and then Situ Mingkang also sent a message over, explaining that Zhang Shan was injured but not seriously, and had already been escorted back home by them.

  Situ Ming'an handed the message token to his daughter: "This Zhang Shan is quite interesting, he resisted Sun Shoucai's three-layered Lingwu boundary and several dozen well-trained good hands, not only did he not die but also killed six of the opponent's men, it's truly unexpected."

  Situ Qingwan was also shocked after reading the message: "This kid's performance is really surprising, Dad. In my opinion, in the sect selection competition, Shentu Xiong might actually lose to him."

  "If that's the case, then we can't let him get into trouble even more. This time it was because we didn't take it seriously enough, next time we absolutely cannot give the Shentu family another chance."

  He paused for a moment and then continued: "You go and discuss with him, ask him to come to our house to stay for a while until the selection match starts."

  After being sent back home, Zhang Shan's external injuries had automatically healed in less than half a day. After another night of cultivation, the depleted True Qi in his Dantian was replenished, and the tears and internal injuries in his meridians were also mostly healed.

  The next day, Sit Qing came to visit.

  "As you said, I let the household staff disperse and search, and finally found Gao Peng and Lei Meng in a charity house outside the south city last night. They have been sent back home for treatment." Si Tu Qing said as soon as they met.

  "Are they all right?" Zhang Shan suddenly stood up and asked.

  Situ Qingwan gently shook her head: "They were seriously injured and are still unconscious. According to Gao Gong, who is skilled in medicine at home, their lives have been saved, but their cultivation has been ruined. Whether they can cultivate in the future is still unknown."

  Upon hearing this news, Zhang Shan was extremely grieved and angrily punched the tea table, shattering it into pieces.

  "You've just recovered from your internal injury, don't get agitated." Si Tu Qing An furrowed her brow and said.

  His chest heaved up and down, his heart secretly swearing, "Kanaya, I will definitely kill you, as well as Shentu Shengdong, not one of them can escape."

  It took him a while to suppress the anger in his heart, and he forced a smile: "Thanks to the young lady this time, I'll first thank the two brothers for saving my life, and then I want to go take a look at them."

  "Of course, no problem, um, and one more thing." Situ Qingyan expressed the idea of letting him temporarily move out.

  Thinking of Gao Peng and Lei Meng's plight, Zhang Shan agreed without hesitation, he didn't want his family to get into trouble too.

  At that time, he immediately let people pack up their things and had his mother and Wu Xueyue bring the two maidservants to move into the Situ Mansion.

  Situ Qingwan arranged a separate courtyard for them to settle down in.

  After settling down, Zhang Shan followed Si Tu Qing Wan to visit Gao Peng and Lei Meng.

  The two are now fully immersed in the liquid medicine, with only their nostrils exposed to breathe, and except for their heartbeat, there is no other reaction.

  "According to the high priest's words, it is estimated that he will wake up in ten days, but how much he can recover depends on God's arrangement." Xīu Qīng said softly.

  "It's all because of me, if it weren't for me, they wouldn't have ended up like this." Zhang Shan muttered to himself.

  "Our martial artists' path of cultivation is originally full of risks, and we may die at any time. Don't be too hard on yourself." advised Si Tu Qing Yan.

  He looked at it quietly for a while, then turned around and said: "I want a detailed intelligence report on the Shinoda family."

  "The information is fine, but I hope you can calm down. The Shentu family is a big family for hundreds of years, and it's not something that can be overthrown in a short time." said Situ Qingan with a slight frown.

  "Don't worry, big sister, I won't be impulsive. With my current strength, it's absurd to think of destroying it, but I'll take it one step at a time. Didn't we agree to start from the sect selection tournament?" Zhang Shan said with a smile.

  Situ Qingwan glanced at him and smiled: "You understand, that's good. I'll organize the intelligence into a copy for you to see. During this time, if you need anything, just let me know."
