RETURNING FROM THE IMMORTAL WORLD

Chapter 541 - Chapter 550

Chapter 541: Being Hung Upside Down and Red Beet

While looking at Yang Le, Tang Xiu asked, "You don't know anything about the situation of your eldest senior brother?"

"No, but it seems he's taking care of the business of the Yao Family abroad," Yang Le shook his head. "Nevertheless, I'm really suspicious about that, considering how big my eldest senior brother's ambition is. He definitely won't give up the position of family head neither will he stay abroad so willingly just to deal with ordinary businesses."

"The Yao Family is still hiding loads of secrets, it seems," said Tang Xiu slowly. "Hmph, no matter how many secrets they hide, as long as they dare to oppose the Tang Family, then what awaits them is only extermination! Yang Le, answer me seriously, how is the relationship between you and your eldest senior brother?"

Yang Le was silent for a while, before he shook his head with a bitter expression and said, "It's not good. Our relationship is so bad that, even if we aren't enemies, we will never become friends either."

"That's not enough. Help me out, you will become a friend of mine later, regardless. Also, don't forget that you have given me your word that you'll help me for that opportunity," said Tang Xiu.

"I'm on board a pirate ship or something?" Asked Yang Le with a forced smile.

"You can regard it as you like!" Said Tang Xiu calmly.

"What do you want me to do, then?" Asked Yang Le.

"I'll send people to investigate the memorandum of understanding draft currently being prepared by the Yao Family and the government. You must steal it if it's necessary. As long as the MoU draft is missing, it will affect their progress and bring about a lot of troubles to them. Nevertheless, this is only a small part of my plan. We'll talk about the rest of the plan later," said Tang Xiu.

"What shall we do next, Grand Master?" Asked Gu Xiaoxue.

"Prepare to set off immediately to have a look at Clam Island. If the place is really suitable for the implementation of our plan, we must snatch it from the Yao Family no matter what means we employ. Yao Xinhua is a very talented guy and he'll definitely become the main pillar of the Yao Family in the future. We'll make him stay in the South China Sea for good if possible!" Said Tang Xiu.

"I'll prepare the boat now, Grand Master," said Gu Xiaoxue.

"I'll go with you," said Yang Le hastily upon hearing it.

After silently watching the two of them leave, Tang Xiu re-read the information of the investigation conducted by the Everlasting Feast Hall. Countless thoughts swirled inside his mind as he silently thought of how to pay the lowest price and obtain the maximum benefits.

In the hallway, Yang Le looked at Gu Xiaoxue with sparkling eyes and curiously asked, "Xiaoxue, why did you call Tang Xiu Grand Master? Is he really your Master's Master?"

"Yes," Gu Xiaoxue smilingly nodded.

Touching his chin, Yang Le said with a curious expression, "Properly speaking, your Master should be old already, no? With such an old age, yet still willing to acknowledge Tang Xiu as a Master means that Tang Xiu truly has the ability. I..."

As he spoke up to there, Yang Le suddenly felt that an invisible hand had grabbed his throat, causing him to be unable to utter a single word. However, what panicked him the most was not this, but the fact that he lost control over his own body. An invisible force had wrapped him and quickly lifted and hung him upside down in the hallway.

"GHOST!!!"

While being hung upside down, as Yang Le tried desperately to loosen his neck, he suddenly saw Gu Xiaoxue making hand seals. He was as though being hung up inside the Ashura hell filled with lava, surrounded by a mountain of corpses and rivers of blood, whereas countless fiendish forms and evil spirits appeared inside.
