"My husband won’t die so easily. Even if he fails this time, I believe he can stand up again. Uncle Jian, just make sure his life is saved. Don’t act until the last possible moment; otherwise, it will affect his Martial Arts path!" Lin Qingxuan said.

"Understood! I’ll call Jianyi and Jian Er right away. I’ll also hurry over as soon as I can!" Uncle Jian drank a few more cups of wine, then turned and left.

「The Tang estate in Sea City.」

"Elder Tang, I think simply dealing with the Zhao Family and Yang Qi isn’t enough. To make Yang Qi truly feel pain, we need to add more fuel to the fire," Yan Duo said viciously.

"Oh? Who else do you think we should deal with?" Tang Zhetian inquired.

"The Qifei Group!" Yan Duo said, clenching his teeth. "Elder Tang, you might not know this, but Yang Qi’s father, Yang Qingshan, is the true owner of the Qifei Group. Yang Qi and the group’s chairman, Ye Fei, are the closest of friends. Although Ye Fei isn’t in Thunder City right now, the General Manager, Li Qingyan, is. In my opinion, this Li Qingyan is Yang Qi’s lover. He just attacked our Yan Family for her sake. Therefore, I believe capturing Li Qingyan and others from the Qifei Group would be a tremendous blow to him."

"Good, that’s an excellent idea," Tang Zhetian said with a smile. "Since you’re the most familiar with Thunder City and know this Li Qingyan, you should handle it. I will send experts with you to ensure the mission is completed. Also, tell those people in Thunder City that they must stand with our Tang Family. Otherwise, once we establish our foothold there, none of them will escape!"

"Rest assured, Elder Tang. Leave it to me," Yan Duo said excitedly. He had been coveting Li Qingyan’s beauty for some time, and this was a perfect opportunity. With experts from Sea City’s Tang Family by his side, who in Thunder City would dare to defy him?

Li Qingyan, oh, Li Qingyan! Just you wait. This time, I will have you. No one can stop me, and no one can save you! The man was truly courting death, having escaped it several times with no hint of remorse, which was utterly baffling.

"Is everything ready for the wedding tomorrow? Hold it at the Zhao residence. Hire the best band and the best mages to conduct a splendid ghost marriage, so my grandson can finally have the woman he desires," Tang Zhetian said, looking at Tang Wen Yong.

"Rest assured, Father, it’s all arranged. Tomorrow, the entire Zhao Family will descend to accompany Tang Chuan in death, and another wedding will be held for them in the underworld," Tang Wen Yong replied.

"Very good! I want that Yang Qi to watch the miserable sight of every person he wants to protect dying. I’ll make him understand the price of offending us!" Tang Zhetian revealed a sinister smile. This time, no matter what, he would make Yang Qi pay.

「The next morning.」

Yang Qi opened his eyes, emerging from his cultivation. Today was the day the Tang Family from Sea City was set to arrive in Thunder City. After a night of cultivation, he felt brimming with power.

Just as he was preparing to head to the Zhao Family’s residence, his phone rang with an unfamiliar number. He hesitated for a moment before answering.

"Mr. Yang, it’s Jia Mengxue. The Tang Family is on the move. They’re planning to hold a ghost marriage at the Zhao residence! Everyone in the Zhao Family, including Ye Qianqian, might be killed," Jia Mengxue sighed. "The Tang Family has intentionally spread this news with one goal in mind: to lure you into their trap! They will definitely have a Heaven and Earth Net waiting for you to walk into it. Your wisest course of action is to pretend you know nothing. Otherwise, things will get very troublesome."

Yang Qi took a deep breath. "Thank you for the warning, but you know that once I’ve made a decision, I don’t change my mind."

"In that case, listen to the second piece of news. Last night, Yan Duo returned to the Yan Family. It’s said an expert there was injured, and Yan Feng might have already betrayed them, siding completely with the Tang Family of Sea City. I suspect Yan Duo brought experts back with him from the Tang Family," Jia Mengxue continued. "Of course, I can’t be completely certain about this, but I’d guess there’s a seventy to eighty percent chance it’s true."

"I understand!" Yang Qi said. "Miss Jia, I’ll spare you the pleasantries. From now on, you are my friend."

"Thank you for the honor, Mr. Yang. Please, be careful!" Jia Mengxue hung up.

Yang Qi took a deep breath. What is meant to come, will come; it’s unavoidable. My feud with the Tang Family of Sea City ends today.

"Everyone, get ready. Follow me to the Zhao residence," Yang Qi announced. "Today isn’t just my business; it’s the business of the Star Shining Society!"

"We will go through fire and water without hesitation!" They weren’t fools. They had received benefits, so naturally, they had to give something in return. The Star Shining Society was founded to serve Yang Qi. Now that he was in trouble, they had to step up.

An hour later, Yang Qi received a message from the Jingnan Royal Mansion: the Tang Family of Sea City had arrived in Thunder City. Furthermore, Yan Duo had left the Yan Family with a group of people, but they weren’t heading to greet the Tang Family, nor were they going to the Zhao residence. Their destination was unknown.

"This King of Jingnan is really something, huh? To think he still dares to pass us intel at a time like this," Ye Feng said with a laugh.

"Indeed. With the Tang Family’s arrival, most people are probably trembling in fear. The fact that the King of Jingnan could still make such a wise move shows just how formidable he really is," Yang Qi nodded, then a thought suddenly struck him. "This is bad! That guy Yan Duo might have gone to the Qifei Group! I have to leave for a moment. You will all hold your positions! Wait for my command!"

「Meanwhile, at the Qifei Group.」

Yan Duo had indeed arrived. Accompanying him were several unfamiliar experts, especially one whose Combat Power seemed comparable to the Undying Barbarian King’s. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

The wounds on Yan Duo’s face hadn’t fully healed, but his arrogance was at an all-time high. The office building, which had just begun renovations, was once again smashed beyond recognition, and even the construction workers had been beaten.

"Li Qingyan, surprised to see me? I’m back!"

"Did you think you could scare me off with Yang Qi? You’re wrong. My dad now understands that following Yang Qi is a dead end, so he chose to side with the Tang Family of Sea City."

"Oh, and one more thing. That Yang Qi probably won’t live to see the end of today!"

Yan Duo was incredibly smug, as if he had already crushed Yang Qi under his heel. With the Tang Family of Sea City backing him, who was there to fear?

Looking at Yan Duo, Li Qingyan felt a surge of fear. He was in a frenzied state, and there was no telling what he might do. But she was even more worried about Yang Qi; if Yan Duo spoke with such certainty, his words couldn’t be baseless. Something must have happened
