Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Why haven’t they dealt with us?
Zhang Junwang, Zhang Peng, and the others tried to go up and greet them, but they were shoved aside by Liu Zhan and Lin Weidong. Terrified, they trembled all over and didn’t dare to get any closer.
Sweat stread down everyone’s foreheads, even though the weather wasn’t particularly hot. In fact, it could even be called a bit cold.
Lei Qingtian and his retinue arrived before Yang Qi and Ye Fei. He nodded and said simply, "Our condolences."
Then they walked to Zhang Xiaoduo’s grave, placed down their offerings, and lit incense.
Trembling, Ye Fei said, "Xiaoduo, Xiaoduo, do you see? The Prefecture Master and the City Lord... they’ve all co to see you!" He trailed off, choking back his sobs. Though it was a aningless gesture, it was better than nothing.
Every person who had arrived paid their respects to Zhang Xiaoduo. This sight made Zhang Junwang and the others feel as though the world had gone dark, like they had fallen into a bottomless abyss. They nearly fainted from the shock.
My God, what is happening? How did it co to this?
It was as if they were only now beginning to understand what Xiong Ba and Huang Borren had ant. But they didn’t. They truly did not understand.
Wu Chong and Zhang Xiaoduo’s two best friends collapsed to the ground, paralyzed by an overwhelming fear. They had no idea what terrible fate awaited them. They were all dumbfounded, staring at Yang Qi in shock, completely baffled as to his true status.
Even Lin Qingxuan was a little surprised. Lei Qingtian is showing Yang Qi this much deference? It seems he holds Yang Qi’s dical skills in extrely high regard.
Lei Qingtian and his group did not stay long. After paying their respects to Zhang Xiaoduo, they departed.
From beginning to end, Bai Xingjian, Zhang Junwang, and the others remained kneeling, too scared to make a sound. It wasn’t until the dignitaries were gone that they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Huh? Why didn’t they deal with us? If those people ca for Yang Qi, surely they would have dealt with us. But they just left? It’s impossible to understand.
"Hahahaha!" Bai Xingjian suddenly burst into laughter. "I get it! We were all wrong!"
"What do you an, Mr. Bai?" the crowd asked, puzzled.
"It’s about saving face!" Bai Xingjian said proudly. "Zhang Xiaoduo’s death was unjust, and the perpetrator was never found. Now that it has caused such a commotion, they ca here just to keep up appearances. It was a complete coincidence. And here we were, thinking Yang Qi had invited them."
"They weren’t invited by ," Yang Qi admitted at that mont.
"You hear that? He admits it himself! They weren’t invited by him!" Bai Xingjian gloated.
In truth, those people had not been invited by Yang Qi. The ones he had summoned were soone else entirely. The officials could only serve as a deterrent; dealing with this scum would require another group.
"Hahaha, so it was just a false alarm! That ans as long as we don’t destroy this grave, nobody will care what we do, right?" Zhang Junwang laughed loudly.
"Exactly," Bai Xingjian nodded, a savage grin spreading across his face. They had been genuinely terrified earlier, and Yang Qi would have to pay for that.
"What are you all standing around for? Move! Yang Qi, Xiong Ba, Huang Borren... I don’t want to see any of them standing. I want them all on their knees!" Bai Xingjian roared.
Zhang Junwang grew excited. "And take Miss Lin aside so she doesn’t get hurt! As for the rest... do whatever you want!"
Only then did the n who had been intimidated by Lei Qingtian’s group finally snap out of it. They glared fiercely at Yang Qi and his companions, ready to attack.
Yang Qi looked at them and calmly took out his phone. "Begin the operation."
Seeing Yang Qi’s confident deanor and hearing his words, the Zhang Family, Bai Xingjian, and their n were stunned once again. What the hell? Begin the operation? What operation?
"He’s just putting on an act! Don’t be afraid! Get them!" Zhang Junwang roared.
"Heh, you’ll soon find out whether I’m putting on an act or not," Yang Qi scoffed. "I told you this place would be your graveyard today. In a mont, you’ll understand why I said that."
The Lei Tingjun only needed to show up and secure the area; they didn’t need to fight. Yang Qi himself could clean up this trash. But the scene had to be grand. It had to strike terror into their hearts. That was the effect he wanted.
"Hurry up and attack! Ignore him!" Bai Xingjian ordered impatiently. The mountaintop was chilly, and he didn’t want to stay here any longer than necessary.
Lord Jiu, Sister Liu, Lord Zhang, and Lord Tong led their n and charged forward.
However, at that exact mont, a sword plunged from the sky, embedding itself in the ground right in front of them. Then, a hundred martial artists in tight-fitting martial attire appeared.
Their leader pulled the longsword from the earth and pointed it at the crowd. "Scram, or die!"
All of them wore masks, hiding their faces, but their power was terrifyingly palpable. The Seventy-Two Wolves began to tremble at the sight of them. Bai Xingjian also started to panic.
"Zhang Junwang, we’re dropping this job! We’re leaving!" the Wolf King, leader of the Seventy-Two Wolves, declared. He could clearly sense how terrifying these newcors were. There was nothing to be gained from a direct confrontation.
"You took our money! How can you just walk away?!" Zhang Junwang shouted angrily.
"We’ll return the money. We’re not doing this job," the Wolf King said, shaking his head. "If we had known you were provoking such a terrifying power, we never would have co to Kang City."
The weakest among these hundred people was a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Their leader’s strength was completely unfathomable. In their eyes, a re Martial Arts Master like himself was less than nothing. Any one of them could end his life.
The Wolf King was baffled. Aren’t Grandmasters supposed to be incredibly rare in this world? How could a hundred Grandmaster-level experts just appear out of nowhere? Is this so kind of joke?
But there was no ti to ponder such things; survival was the priority. Just as they were about to leave, another group of people appeared.
"Heh, it’s quite lively here. Mind if we join the fun?" a cold voice sneered. "I heard soone was planning to make a move on a partner of our Ye Group?"
Ye Lingyue appeared, a chilly smile on her face, followed by a hundred or so people. All of them were experts. Though not as intimidating as the first group, there were two Martial Arts Grandmasters among them, which was still terrifying.
"Mr. Yang, you didn’t invite us, but we ca anyway. You don’t mind, do you?" Ye Lingyue smiled as she walked to Yang Qi’s side. She even deliberately linked her arm with his, seemingly for Lin Qingxuan to see.
Lin Qingxuan did indeed feel a pang of jealousy.
The mbers of the Zhang Family were completely dumbfounded. What is going on? Even if the Ye Group and the Qifei Group are partners, there was no need for Ye Lingyue to go this far, was there? Don’t tell
she’s fallen for Yang Qi too? What a joke. What on earth is so charming about that guy? I really don’t get it.
