Urban Martial Saint
Chapter 2359 - 2359: Spoiling the Grandson (Fourth Update)Wanyan Hongfeng originally wanted to speak, but upon seeing Wanyan Ming enter, his expression eased slightly, and there was a hint of doting in his eyes. After all, this was his biological grandson, and even though Wanyan Hongfeng himself was a legendary figure of his time, he still doted very much on his only grandson.
"Ming'er, why are you here?" Wanyan Hongfeng asked.
Seeing Wanyan Hongfeng's expression, Wanyan Second Master couldn't help but sigh. His elder brother was now considered an invincible figure, yet his love for his grandson was rather controversial. In the Wanyan family, Wanyan Ming seemed to have no rules anymore. For instance, in the current situation, when he and Wanyan Hongfeng were discussing serious matters, Wanyan Ming just barged in, paying no heed to his elders.
Although somewhat displeased, Wanyan Second Master dared not show it. After all, the Wanyan family's current standing was entirely due to Wanyan Hongfeng's planning. Moreover, Wanyan Hongfeng's lineage was indeed the main branch of the Wanyan family, possessing the greatest power—what could anyone else do?
"Grandfather, I heard that you've tracked down Ye Qing's whereabouts!" Wanyan Ming's eyes sparkled with brilliance, speaking in a deep voice, "Where is that bastard now? I want to kill him personally!"
Wanyan Ming harbored intense hatred for Ye Qing. Last time, Ye Qing entered Wanyan Manor, not only desecrating the family ancestral tomb but also stealing many of their belongings. Moreover, Ye Qing also took away members of the Yelu family, their dead enemies. The most crucial aspect was that during Wanyan family's pursuit, Ye Qing took the opportunity to castrate Wanyan Ming.
At that time, Wanyan Ming was severely injured, causing Wanyan Zong to nearly go insane, storming into the territory of Hong Alliance's Seven Rudders in pursuit of Ye Qing. Yet, they failed to capture Ye Qing and instead established enmity with Hong Alliance's Seven Rudders. Had the ancestors of the Wanyan family not appeared, the family might have been exterminated. Despite this, Wanyan Ming's injuries remained incurable, leading Wanyan Zong's only son to lose the ability to continue the family line.
Fortunately, after Wanyan Hongfeng appeared, he used powerful force and rare medicine to heal Wanyan Ming's injuries. However, the recovery was slow, taking at least two to three years. This meant that during this period, Wanyan Ming was akin to a eunuch, unable to perform a man's duties. Such deep-seated hatred naturally made Wanyan Ming loathe Ye Qing.
Previously, despite his hatred for Ye Qing, the family was under the control of elders like Wanyan Second Master. Though he was the Young Master, he lacked significant power at the time, only able to hide with his father Wanyan Zong, watching the family's ancestors against Ye Qing. Yet now, circumstances had changed, his grandfather Wanyan Hongfeng had emerged, and the family was thoroughly under their control. Thus, his status as Young Master had grown more prominent, granting him the ability to seek revenge against Ye Qing.
Wanyan Hongfeng understood Wanyan Ming's feelings. In such matters, even he would find it difficult to remain calm.
"Alright!" Wanyan Hongfeng nodded, saying, "No problem, I'll have people capture him, and then you can deal with him as you see fit!"
Wanyan Ming shook his head decisively, saying, "No, I want to personally capture him!"
"You want to go personally?" Wanyan Hongfeng frowned, capturing Ye Qing and having Wanyan Ming do it himself were two very different matters.
"Grandfather, Ye Qing has hurt me to this extent. If I can't personally take revenge, what's the point of living?" Wanyan Ming's eyes reddened as he pathetically looked at Wanyan Hongfeng, saying, "I must take revenge personally, or I'll never be at peace this lifetime!"
"But, it's Mount Wendao!" Wanyan Hongfeng slightly furrowed his brow, saying, "Mount Wendao is unlike other places; it's somewhat dangerous there. If you go alone, you might not capture Ye Qing, and may suffer losses!"
Wanyan Ming responded, "It's okay, grandfather. Just send more elite warriors with me, isn't that possible?"
"This isn't a matter of elites…" Wanyan Hongfeng took a deep breath, saying, "Mount Wendao also has a powerful monster beast. Even if I send more elites, they may not be a match for this monster beast!"
"Monster beast?" Wanyan Second Master was surprised, unaware of this matter as he had never been to Mount Wendao.
Wanyan Hongfeng's knowledge far surpassed that of Wanyan Second Master and others. If Ye Qing were here, he would surely be stunned by Wanyan Second Master's words. Mount Wendao indeed housed a monster beast. That Fat Jiao's combat power was beyond the pinnacle, truly deserving the title of monster beast.
"With such a monster beast on the mountain, how can Ye Qing still dare to go there?" Wanyan Ming asked Wanyan Hongfeng, "This monster beast shouldn't harm people indiscriminately, right? Grandfather, Ye Qing has bullied us too much, I absolutely can't miss this chance!"
"Elder brother, what monster beasts are there on Mount Wendao? Could they even rival our family?" Wanyan Second Master whispered beside him, "Should I take some people to capture Ye Qing, helping Young Master Ming vent his anger?"
Even someone of Wanyan Second Master's status had to address Wanyan Ming as Young Master Ming, indicating the strict hierarchy within the Wanyan family.
"Even if there's a monster beast, could it be more powerful than you, grandfather?" Wanyan Ming looked at the Minghong Knife scabbard in Wanyan Hongfeng's hands, saying, "Grandfather, why not accompany me, especially since Ye Qing also possesses the Sun Shooting Bow, an item we must acquire!"
"That monster beast is certainly not my match!" Wanyan Hongfeng replied proudly, yet he shook his head, saying, "But I can't leave. There are many matters here in Shenchuan City, and the Sword Saint Sect might send someone at any time. If I leave now, it will definitely disrupt family affairs!"
"Then what should we do?" Wanyan Ming's eyes reddened further, tears swirling in his eyes, appearing even more pitiful.
Wanyan Hongfeng was powerless against such a plea from his grandson, quickly comforting him, saying, "It's alright, Ming'er, don't worry. Although I can't go, I can let the Corpse Ghost Dragon accompany you!"
Upon hearing this, Wanyan Ming immediately became excited, urgently asking, "Grandfather, really? Can the Corpse Ghost Dragon accompany me?"
Though initially reluctant, Wanyan Hongfeng knew he couldn't let his grandson's feelings be hurt. He slowly nodded, saying, "Second Brother, make the arrangements, send ten Peak Masters to accompany him, and have the Corpse Ghost Dragon protect him closely!"
"Yes!" Wanyan Second Master promptly nodded, though secretly muttering. To protect your grandson, you're deploying such powerful forces, sending the Corpse Ghost Dragon to Mount Wendao — you are indeed thorough. For this one grandson, you're willing to temporarily set aside family affairs?
However, Wanyan Second Master certainly dared not utter these words. He was well aware of Hongfeng's tendency to protect his kin. If he said anything untoward, Wanyan Hongfeng would certainly not let him off.
"Thank you, grandfather!" Wanyan Ming responded excitedly, his eyes flashing with a trace of coldness. This time, he would capture Ye Qing personally, hacking him into pieces to quell his own fury.
Wanyan Hongfeng was not as happy and excited as Wanyan Ming. After a brief silence, he spoke to Wanyan Second Master, "Second Brother, organize twenty thousand Long-toothed Rats to accompany Ming'er to Mount Wendao!"
"Long-toothed Rats?" Wanyan Second Master paused. This was the Wanyan family's greatest asset to rule the realm, typically not deployed outside. Yet, for revenge on behalf of his grandson, Wanyan Hongfeng was making such significant moves? Twenty thousand Long-toothed Rats might seem small compared to their army of millions, but for deploying this many for a family member, it was unprecedented. Indeed, Wanyan Hongfeng showed immense favoritism towards his grandson.
"Yes, Long-toothed Rats!" Wanyan Hongfeng said sternly, "Remember, you personally lead, ensure these Long-toothed Rats are guarded well, and protect Ming'er, understood?"
"Yes!" Wanyan Second Master nodded immediately, though continued muttering internally. For a minor Mount Wendao, deploying twenty thousand Long-toothed Rats — surely they planned to overturn the entire mountain? What was Wanyan Hongfeng thinking, using such grand measures just to deal with one Ye Qing and protect his grandson?
Wanyan Ming was elated, with the Corpse Ghost Dragon for close protection, ten Peak Masters under his command, and twenty thousand Long-toothed Rats. This venture to Mount Wendao was indeed fully staffed. If he still failed to capture Ye Qing, he wouldn't be able to return with honor!
"Grandfather, rest assured, I will capture Ye Qing, and the Sun Shooting Bow, I'll surely bring back too!" Wanyan Ming said animatedly to Wanyan Hongfeng, "If I accomplish this feat, you must reward me, grandfather!"
"Certainly, absolutely no problem. If you bring back the Sun Shooting Bow, it would be a tremendous achievement for the family, and the family will surely reward you greatly!" Wanyan Hongfeng replied with a laugh, glancing at Wanyan Second Master, hinting at ensuring protection for Wanyan Ming no matter what.
Wanyan Second Master nodded repeatedly, but was even more amazed. It's just Mount Wendao, yet Wanyan Hongfeng dispatched such impressive forces, still seeming uneasy? What was truly happening, was there something special about Mount Wendao that caused Wanyan Hongfeng to have apprehensions?
