Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy

Chapter 444 - 446: Become Disabled When Said Disabled【5/5】

Qin Yuhan hurried over to Wu Tian. "I just went back for a bit, and Mu Ge told me something."

Hmm? What could have happened?

By now, Qin Yuhan had reached his side. "Your boy, Lin Fa, is in trouble. Are you going to do something about it?"

"What?" This statement made Wu Tian’s brow furrow slightly.

There weren’t many things that could bother him these days. The disappearance of Wu Fa was one, but now another problem had surfaced. Lin Fa was his friend and also an employee at a subsidiary of his Boundless Corporation. What could have happened to him?

"What exactly happened?" Wu Tian asked, sensing this was no small matter.

Qin Yuhan said solemnly, "This matter is rather complicated. A lot has happened to Lin Fa recently. For instance, the reason his father dislikes him is that Lin Fa isn’t his biological son."

"..."

Wu Tian nodded. Thinking back, it made perfect sense. Lin’s father doted on Lin Tianlong but didn’t spare an ounce of affection for Lin Fa. Even his name was far less inspired. Lin Fa? What kind of name is that? So it turned out Lin Fa wasn’t his father’s son, nor was he Lin Tianlong’s real brother!

"Lin Fa only found out because a group of people approached him. They told him not to return to his true family, beat him up, and left!" Qin Yuhan continued. "Normally, it would just be external injuries, but after being sent to the hospital, Lin Fa just couldn’t recover."

She added, "To dare cause trouble in a subsidiary of Boundless Corporation, these people are no simple thugs. I checked, but there’s no traceable information on them. I suspect they aren’t from the Surface World."

Wu Tian nodded; he understood what had happened now. Someone didn’t want Lin Fa to acknowledge his ancestors and return to his clan, so they tried to eliminate him. And they had done it at a subsidiary of his very own Boundless Corporation!

Wu Tian’s eyes narrowed. Harming his brother and causing trouble in his company... it seemed the other party didn’t take him, Wu Tian, seriously at all. A cold, sharp light glinted in his eyes.

"How is Lin Fa now?" Wu Tian asked. Everyone has friends from childhood, but as time passes, the number of friends by one’s side inevitably dwindles. Lin Fa was one of his few remaining friends.

Qin Yuhan could see that Wu Tian cared deeply for him. "Mu Ge went to the hospital to see him. Lin Fa used to be a chubby guy, but now he’s rail-thin. His body is still wasting away, and it gets worse every day! The doctors say that at this rate, all of his flesh and blood will disappear!"

How vicious! Wu Tian understood. They didn’t just want Lin Fa to die; they wanted him to perish in agony. Their intentions were utterly malevolent!

Wu Tian knew he had to get back immediately.

"Is this Wu Tian’s home?"

Just then, the sound of more footsteps approached the villa from outside.

Tao Qianyang and Yuan Beizheng were left speechless. What now? One complication after another!

The newcomer was the Second Elder of the Eastern Taizhong Palace. He was already impatient to take Wu Tian and the little one back with him.

"Wu Tian, come with me, will you? Hmm, and where is that little guy? Hurry and call him over. I must take you both back immediately," the Second Elder said, a smug look on his face.

If one looked closely, they would see that Lan Yun, who stood behind the Second Elder, was unsteady on his feet. His legs were clearly sore and numb. It looked as though his rear had been injured!

"I’ll go on my own when I’m ready. You should leave first. I have things to handle right now," Wu Tian said dismissively.

What does the Eastern Taizhong Palace matter? In my heart, nothing is more important than my brothers and friends.

"What could possibly be more important than going to the Eastern Taizhong Palace?" The Second Elder had no intention of letting Wu Tian get away. A Spirit Root like this is a once-in-a-millennium find! He stepped forward, reaching out to grab Wu Tian’s arm and drag him away.

"Scram," Wu Tian said, stepping back with a look of disgust. He sneered, "I’m giving you a way out. You’d be wise to take it. Don’t be shameless."

Hearing this, Tao Qianyang, Yuan Beizheng, and Qin Yuhan couldn’t help but crack a smile.

The Second Elder’s face turned ashen, and he glared fiercely at Wu Tian. "You... Don’t you realize I’m doing this for your own good?"

Lan Yun’s voice was weak and hoarse, as if his throat was raw from whatever he had endured. "Master, you have to show him your power. Only then will he obey you."

"Yes, yes, you’re right," the Second Elder said, his voice softening as he glanced back at Lan Yun. He then turned to Wu Tian, his expression turning vicious. "It’s time you were taught a lesson!"

"Sword Light Array!"

The Second Elder immediately unleashed the technique. It was originally a skill from Mount Shu where Sword Light rained down in an area-of-effect attack. Of course, the current version was merely a fragment of the original; it looked impressive, but its power was a shadow of what it had been in the days of Mount Shu. Even so, it looked quite intimidating.

With a furious shout, the Second Elder’s aura surged. Instantly, swords condensed from Yuan Force materialized around him. With a point of his finger, the innumerable swords transformed into streaks of light and shot toward Wu Tian.

"Do you see the gap between us now?" the Second Elder bellowed. I’ll cripple him. That way, he’ll obediently come back to the Eastern Taizhong Palace. It doesn’t matter if he’s disabled. As long as he isn’t dead, the Spirit Root will remain!

"We’ll see who’s the one who ends up crippled," Wu Tian retorted, watching the meteor-like shower of Sword Light approach. He clenched his right fist and threw a punch, intending to shatter a thousand swords with a single blow.

Seeing this, Tao Qianyang was stunned. Has Mr. Wu Tian gone mad? That Sword Light is sharper than any normal blade. How can he possibly block it with his fist?

However, Wu Tian was confident his fist could tear through anything. It whistled through the air with a low roar, ripping through the space before it. It was a punch that reigned supreme, unrivaled on heaven and earth. A punch that was utterly domineering, radiating an aura of invincibility.

Seeing Wu Tian use his bare fist against his volley of Light Swords, the Second Elder sneered in disdain. "Hmph, you overestimate yourself!"

The next moment—

BOOM!

The fist collided with the swarm of Light Swords, unleashing a deafening roar. The swords shattered one by one. At the same time, the shockwave from Wu Tian’s punch slammed into the Second Elder, sending him flying backward while spitting blood. He tumbled back for more than ten meters before losing his footing and crashing to the ground, utterly humiliated.

"How is this possible?"

Lan Yun stared, dumbfounded. He looked as if he’d become an idiot, his mouth agape wide enough to fit several eggs.

"You..." The Second Elder was no fool. He finally realized that Wu Tian had been a wolf in sheep’s clothing; his true strength was nowhere near that of a beginner! At this thought, the Second Elder hurriedly shouted, "I... I won’t take you with me anymore! We’ll just leave... We’ll leave this place on our own, alright?"

"No."

"You wanted to cripple me?" Wu Tian’s voice was ice-cold. "I said we’d see which one of us ends up crippled, and I always keep my word."

With a cold shout, Wu Tian gave the Second Elder no chance. He had promised to cripple the man, and he would keep that promise. His fist shot forward
