Chapter 189 Revenge
Nanny Wu was Mindy''s wet nurse who had been employed to feed Mindy her own breast milk when
Mindy was a tiny baby, and she was also the only person who had apanied Mindy while running
away from the Li n that fateful night.
After Mindy joined the Sun Sect, Nanny Wu had retired to live in this remote vige.
When Nanny Wu heard that Mindy was nning to go back to Valley Town to get revenge, she couldn''t
help but feel worried. Even though Mindy assured her that Austin would help her, she was still not
convinced. After all, Mindy was a weak girl who might not be able to fight against so many powerful
foes, and Austin looked too young and too thin to be able to fight them too.
However, since Mindy and Austin had both already reached the Earth Realm level, Nanny Wu finally

epted Mindy''s decision.
In the past when Nanny Wu lived with Mindy''s family, she had heard about a few warriors and knew
that the warrior of the Earth Realm was the most powerful one in Valley Town.
To Mindy''s surprise and excitement, it turned out that there were several other members of her family
living in this vige.
When the Zhang n was attacked by their enemies, many of her family members hadn''t been at the
scene and had managed to escape as soon as they found out. In the past few years, Nanny Wu had
secretly contacted as many of them as possible and called them to live in this vige so that they could
avenge the Zhang n one day.
Knowing Mindy had made up her mind to get revenge, Nanny Wu called all the remaining members of
the family to help Mindy.
There were 17 members in total. Eight of them were young and their cultivation bases were on the third
or fourth level of Energy Gathering Realm.
The other nine were middle-aged and their cultivation bases were on the fifth or sixth level of Energy
Gathering Realm. Since they were living as a small family in this remote vige, the cultivation bases of
the family members were less than impressive because most of them were only at the level of Energy
Gathering Realm. Their family master was the only one whose cultivation base was on the level of the
Earth Realm.
These 17 family members had been hiding in this remote vige and working hard to improve their
martial arts skills for the past few years. They wanted to get revenge one day and rebuild their big
family in Valley Town.
When they found out from Nanny Wu that Mindy had reached the level of Earth Realm, they looked at
Mindy with their eyes full of worship.
In particr, the eight young men who were of the same age and position as Mindy showed great
admiration for her. A few years ago, they had all been on the level of Energy Gathering Realm, but
now, their cultivation bases were far behind Mindy''s.
To avenge their dead family members, they had worked day and night for the past few years to develop
their martial arts skills. They had all made great progress. Since they were hiding in such a remote
vige, they hadn''t been able to obtain any helpful martial arts materials, so they''d gotten this far purely
on hard work.
But their peer, Mindy, had already reached the level of Earth Realm. In the remote Valley Town, a
warrior of Earth Realm was really rare.
In the entire Zhang n, the master was the only one whose cultivation base had reached the Earth
Realm. But it was said that their master had been heavily wounded during the attack and had gone
missing soon after. No one knew whether he was alive or dead.
That meant that Mindy was now the most powerful person among the remaining family members, and
so any hope of avenging the Zhang n rested on her shoulders.
Mindy became the leader and the other 17 members stared at her with excitement and worship in their
eyes.
But Mindy was just excited to see her family members again after being out of touch with them for
seven years. She calmed herself down and looked at them.
"It has been seven years since they killed our family members and it''s time for us to get revenge. I''ve
decided to go back to Valley Town and avenge the Zhang n! My dear uncles, will you support me?"
Mindy turned to the respectable middle-aged men who were sitting in front of her.
"Mindy, we all agree with you and we will support you."
After learning from Nanny Wu that Mindy and the young man named Austin had both reached the level
of Earth Realm, the middle-aged men knew that Mindy was much more powerful than they were, so
they didn''t think of themselves as elders who should be respected and obeyed by Mindy. Instead, they
were ready to follow hermand even if they disagreed with her.
Besides, Mindy was finally offering them the chance for revenge that they had been waiting for so
many years, so of course they wouldn''t disagree with her. Mindy had their full support.
"Okay! Since you all agree, let''s go today. Let''s take back everything that''s ours and get even!"
Mindy''s words motivated the 17 family members. They knew that once they went back to Valley Town,
they would either sessfully get their revenge or be killed cruelly by their foes. After all, they didn''t
know how powerful their foes had be after these seven years.
However, the memory of that fateful night had tormented them and brought them great agony for seven
years, so they considered revenge much more important than their lives. . . . .
The Li n, the enemies of Mindy''s family, lived in Valley Town.
In a spacious and luxurious meeting hall sat a dozen leaders of the Li n.
Lanny, the master of the Li n, was sitting in a wooden armchair, drinking tea with a serious look on
his face.
For the past seven years, the Li n had taken control of Valley Town and seized all the industries,
forests, and farnds, as well as the minerals around them.
Ever since they destroyed the Zhang n, they had taken over all the businesses in Valley Town and
be richer and richer.
And with the development of the Li n, Lanny had be the most powerful man in Valley Town. No
one dared to sing a different tune from him.
"Did the old fossil, Zachary, say anything?"
Lanny asked, frowning.
"Master, we''ve used the worst torture methods we could think of on him, but he''s still too stubborn to
say a word about where the book is."
"Is that so? The old fossil is so persistent even in the face of death. Well, if he isn''t going to say
anything about the book, just keep using the cruelest torture methods you can think of on him. If I can''t
get the book, I''ll at least be satisfied to see him in endless pain. That is exactly the price he has to pay
for fighting against me!"
"Dad, is there any possibility that the book ''Elixir Foundation'' doesn''t actually exist? If there is, I think
it''s better if we kill Zachary. He isn''t helpful to us at all," a young but strong-looking man said. He was
none other than Logan, Lanny''s second son.
"Mr. White, what''s your opinion?"
Lanny looked at the 40-year-old man sitting next to him.
Yann White used to be the butler of the Zhang n, but after receiving a considerable bribe from
Lanny, he had betrayed the Zhang n and helped the Li n attack them that night.
"There is no doubt that the book ''Elixir Foundation'' exists. I clearly remember Zachary asking me for
advice when he decided to choose some young men from the Zhang n to practice refining elixirs. It
must be true," Yann answered.
"That settles it, then; we can''t kill Zachary. We can slowly get some information about the book from
him. If we''re lucky enough to find that book, the Li n can learn how to refine elixirs and cultivate
some pill refiners in our family. Then, our n would be a powerhouse not only in Valley Town,
but also in the whole Violet Orchid Empire.
You know how much people admire pill refiners. It will be a great honor if there is a pill refiner, even a
primary one, belonging to the Li n."
All the family members of the Li n sitting in the meeting hall were inspired by those words. They all
knew that even the least excellent pill refiner in the Li n would be admired by everyone.
If the Li n could cultivate their own pill refiner, their family would be even more prosperous in
the future.
"It will take a lot of time to get any information out of Zachary. We all know how stubborn that old fossil
can be, so it''s useless for us to be optimistic about finding the book quickly," Lanny pointed out,
frowning.
Just then, a servant ran into the meeting hall.
"Master, someone sent a package and said that it''s your birthday present!"
"Ah? My birthday present?"
Lanny was surprised. His birthday wasn''t until two weekster.
After pondering over it for a few moments, Lanny smiled.
"I see. One of my friends must have sent me this present half a month in advance to give me a
surprise."
"Dad, as our Li n is bing richer and more powerful, there are more and more people who want
to tter us. I''m sure the birthday present must have been sent by someone who wants to get into our
good books," a quiet young manmented, smiling. He was Lanny''s first son. He wasn''t excellent in
martial arts practice, but he was a man of great wisdom.
"Hah hah, whoever sent this is a sincere person, so it would be impolite for us to refuse him. What''s the
present? Let me have a look!"
Lanny was very happy.
The servant quickly ran out of the meeting hall.
After a while, he walked back in holding a square package. On the tightly stitched package, the word
''Longevity'' was written in a big font.
"Open it up!"
Lanny ordered.
"Yes, master." The servant began unwrapping the package.
After he uncovered several linings of the package and was about to unfold thest one, eight arrows
flew out of the package and into his chest.
The impact of the arrows flung the servant''s body back against the door of the meeting hall. At the
same time, the package in his hands fell onto the floor.
There was a crack as his body hit the door and he was dead before he could so much as let out a cry.
There was deadly poison painted on the arrows.
The whole meeting hall erupted into chaos.
"Who did it? Who! Who did it?"
Lanny got up in a fit of rage and pped the back of his chair with his right hand. Immediately, the
chair, which was made of ironwood, dissolved into a fine powder, leaving wood chips all over the floor.
There was strong vital energy emanating from Lanny.
The other members of the Li n were also astonished by what had happened just now.
