King of Creation Chapter 1976 - 1961: Success After Careful Planning

In the blink of an eye, three more days passed.

However, the tense atmosphere of confrontation within Tu Mountain remained unchanged. Although Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng understood that with the deliberate protection of the Fox Clan, it was already difficult to find an opportunity to kill Ye Zhen or abduct Hu Qingtong. He could only wait for Ninth Elder Hu Buding to return.

But to give up like that, in the eyes of Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng, would be an act of defeat. The Bear Clan, in whatever they do, can bleed but will never admit defeat.

So, even if this confrontation was pointless, Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng still persisted, expressing his tough stance.

Under such circumstances, coupled with the protection of the Ancient Strange Vine Candle Tear Vine around Hu Qingtong’s courtyard, those Bear Clan practitioners close by monitoring Hu Qingtong’s courtyard had little motivation.

Every time their Divine Sense probed, it would be detected by the other side, so they abandoned the futile effort.

Now, they merely symbolically used their Divine Sense to probe once or twice daily to express their attitude and maintain their presence.

As for Ninth Elder Hu Buding and Clan Leader Tu Zheng, they still hadn’t returned.

However, Ye Zhen, despite the reduced pressure, wasn’t careless at all. The necessary disguises and illusions were all in place, without a single flaw.

That night, within the residence of Clan Leader Tu Zheng, the Fox Clan practitioner Tu Fu, who had been closely guarding the Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao, suddenly received an urgent message from home.

After just one glance, Tu Fu’s expression turned ugly and tense.

Not far away, Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao naturally noticed the abnormality of his uncle.

"Uncle Fu, what’s happened?" Tu Jinggao hurriedly asked.

"At home... someone fell ill." Tu Fu’s tone was somewhat hesitant.

"Illness?"

Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao was puzzled; for either family or himself, most illnesses weren’t significant, cured with a few doses of Spiritual Medicine and Spiritual Power refinement.

"Is there any difficulty? If Spiritual Medicine is needed, it can be accessed from the clan’s treasury." Tu Jinggao didn’t forget to offer help, as taught by his father; winning hearts starts with little details, accumulating bit by bit.

"It’s not that Spiritual Medicine is lacking; rather, it’s quite troublesome."

After hesitating, Tu Fu revealed the truth.

The problem concerned his most beloved concubine: half an hour after dinner today, she suddenly collapsed, her hands and face turned red, and her body was covered with strange iron-colored scars.

At Tu Fu’s residence, there was no shortage of people.

There was a Late Stage Realm King Realm butler; his eldest son was at the Peak of Ninth Stage Realm King Realm, having been arduously cultivating at Tu Mountain for years aiming to break through. The household still had experts; even if he left, there was no need for his worry.

The key was that the fainting person held a sensitive status—it’s his most beloved concubine. Neither his butler nor his son had the corresponding status to check his concubine’s ailments.

His wife and part of the family women also had cultivation; they thoroughly checked his concubine’s symptoms but couldn’t discern the cause, nor could pushing Blood Spirit Qi within help.

The women, limited in cultivation, couldn’t identify the issue, while his powerful housekeeper and son, however, were unable to act.

After all, once checked, with Divine Sense entering the body, everything about his beloved concubine would be exposed to his son or housekeeper.

This would put a "green hat" on Tu Fu.

In dilemma, his son sent a Talisman Communication explaining the difficulty, asking him to return home to prevent any mishaps for the aunt.

"I see. Indeed, Uncle Fu should go back to have a look. Uncle Fu, hurry back to check on it to prevent any problems," Tu Jinggao decided.

"But... your safety, my lord." Saying this, Tu Fu produced a Talisman Communication, "Let me notify Lao Liu to come over and cover for me, for half an hour or an hour."

"No!"

Before Tu Fu could send the Talisman Communication, Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao quickly held Tu Fu’s hand, "Uncle Fu, no! I think it shouldn’t be a big issue. Besides, it’s not far; be quick, maybe you’ll return in fifteen minutes. No need to trouble Sixth Uncle. Moreover, Sixth Uncle might be cultivating right now."

"If the aunt’s illness is difficult to manage, and doesn’t resolve quickly, notifying Sixth Uncle then won’t be late," Tu Jinggao advised.

Tu Fu hesitated and slowly nodded, "Then I return quickly. My lord, you should stay within the residence."

"Rest assured, Uncle Fu. Hurry, if any medicine is lacking, just let me know."

"Alright!"

Once the conversation ended, Tu Fu soared into the sky, heading one hundred thirty miles away to a hill where his home was located.

A golden osmanthus tree nearby gently shook its blossoms, with a sense of relief.

Ye Zhen, underground, also breathed a sigh of relief.

This Tu Fu was even more cautious than he imagined. He was going to find someone to cover for him, fortunately, Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao stopped him, or else, Ye Zhen still wouldn’t have the chance.

The sudden collapse of Tu Fu’s beloved concubine was naturally Ye Zhen’s handiwork.

The Little Demon germinated a peculiar grass leaf capable of inducing coma, pricked Tu Fu’s concubine with it, naturally causing her to collapse.

The toxicity of this peculiar grass leaf wasn’t severe, but it was quite strange; unless inch by inch swept by Divine Soul Power, the abnormality couldn’t be detected.

The selection of the target was also meticulously chosen by Ye Zhen.

If just anyone collapsed, no solution; the butler and son at Tu Fu’s residence would manage. It had to be a sensitive-status woman, and one favored by Tu Fu; otherwise Tu Fu wouldn’t be urgent.

To divert Tu Fu, Ye Zhen spent two days meticulously investigating Tu Fu’s situation, then spent another day planning this.

Finally, success was achieved.

However, successfully diverting Tu Fu was just the first step; Ye Zhen needed to race against time.

With Tu Fu’s Divine Soul Power, he wouldn’t take long before discovering his concubine’s condition and clearing it with Spiritual Power, allowing her to regain consciousness.

Ye Zhen estimated that the time Tu Fu gave was at least half a quarter-hour but not exceeding fifteen minutes.

Given Tu Fu’s earlier actions, once his concubine regained consciousness, he would likely return immediately.

Therefore, Ye Zhen needed to act quickly.

Seeing Tu Fu leave, Tu Jinggao’s heart stirred; he turned and rushed toward the courtyard of his eighth concubine taken recently.

These recent ten days or so, several uncles hadn’t left his side. He could only join them in arduously cultivating, which had left him rather frustrated.

Now, taking advantage of Tu Fu’s departure, he hurriedly went to indulge in some affection, easing his longing.

The concubine’s courtyard wasn’t far, merely several hundred meters away, not needing to fly; a brisk walk led him quickly there.

Fueled by desires, Tu Fu, engrossed in thoughts, didn’t notice anything amiss; while passing through a moon gate, a flourish of unexpectedly dense grass underfoot caught him.

Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao was suddenly infuriated, silently cursing the increasingly neglectful servants; these long grasses should’ve been trimmed.

Seems that once he has free time days later, he should properly rectify the household’s standards.

As that thought arose in Tu Jinggao’s heart due to the stumble, a profound surge of Divine Soul Power suddenly enveloped him. Before he could exclaim, the scene before him transformed, bringing him to an utterly unfamiliar place.

Simultaneously, hidden within the void of Xuanjia Hill near Hu Qingtong, monitoring Great Saint of the Giant Spirits’ movements, Fox Clan Supreme Elder Tu Che glanced toward Clan Leader Tu Zheng’s residence.

There seemed to flash briefly an intense Primordial Spirit Wave, extremely fleeting it vanished.

Suspicion churned beneath, Tu Che considered that Grand Young Master was guarded by Realm King realm Tu Fu, without further worry; perhaps Tu Fu was using Divine Soul Power to probe nearby, which wasn’t unusual.

Moreover, following that Primordial Spirit Wave, Clan Leader Tu Zheng’s residence remained safe, unlikely any issue. Supreme Elder Tu Jinggao ignored it further.

As for Ye Zhen, upon getting hold of Tu Jinggao and pulling him into Mirage Dragon Pearl Space, he promptly followed suit inside, as his time was limited to half a quarter-hour up to fifteen minutes.

Time was critical!
