Chapter 787: Chapter 787: Double-pronged Approach

Additionally, Zheng Bunai had gone to Thunder City to cause trouble for Li Qingyan in the first place only because he was following Wu Xiu’s instructions. In the end, the situation had gotten completely out of hand.

The Wu Family was naturally angry, but they weren’t afraid. As long as they had an ace like Wu Yang, they believed they would become the number one family in Sea City. At that moment, they still ridiculously believed that Wu Yang was the Deputy Commander of the War God Guard.

Before long, Wu Xiu arrived in Jingnan Prefecture. He met with the person in charge of managing household registration data and explained the situation.

"Don’t worry. With one phone call, I’ll have this taken care of." When the official saw that the visitor was from the Wu Family of Sea City, he didn’t dare to delay. He hurriedly made a call to have it handled. Deleting an ordinary person’s data was a minor matter. Even if discovered, it would only result in a small fine, which was nothing compared to the bribe the Wu Family had given him.

However, after waiting for more than half an hour, the news he received wasn’t good. Instead, the Heavenly Supervision Hall had arrived, brought by Lei Tingjun.

"Liu, you have some nerve, daring to delete a resident’s data on your own! Just how many times have you done something like this? Take him away!" Lei Tingjun waved his hand, and Officer Liu was immediately arrested, still in a daze.

Lei Tingjun then turned to Wu Xiu with a cold laugh. "Someone from the Wu Family of Sea City comes to Jingnan Prefecture to cause trouble and corrupt our officials. This is a grave sin! Arrest him as well. Tell the Wu Family to pay a ransom for him."

"You can’t touch me! I’m from the Wu Family of Sea City! Damn it, I know the president of your Star Shining Society!" Wu Xiu shouted.

"Wait a moment." Lei Tingjun waved his hand and called Ye Feng directly to ask about the situation.

"Don’t even mention it," Ye Feng said. "That bunch of idiots from the Wu Family insisted their third son was the Deputy Commander of the War God Guard and knew our boss. The boss denied it. In fact, our boss is the real Deputy Commander of the War God Guard. That Wu Xiu isn’t an important figure. Just get some money from them, but don’t kill him. I also heard the boss’s foster mother is from the Wu Family."

"Understood." Lei Tingjun hung up, glared at Wu Xiu, and said, "You even dare to impersonate a relative of our boss! Take him away! Call the Wu Family and tell them to bring money to ransom him."

"Commander Lei, is this really necessary?" Wu Xiu asked. "It’s not a big deal. We’re just deleting that Yang Qi’s identity data. Is there a need to make such a fuss? Does the Lei Family not plan on doing business with us anymore?"

"Shut up! Do you think your Wu Family of Sea City can do whatever you want just because you have a bit of power? Are residents’ identity records something you can just delete on a whim? This is preposterous!" Lei Tingjun bellowed. "Take him away."

Just like that, Wu Xiu was taken into the Heavenly Supervision Hall.

Soon after, the Wu Family in Sea City received a call. Wu Xiu had committed a grave crime in Thunder City, and if they wanted him back, they would have to pay at least ten million.

Upon hearing the news, Old Master Wu exploded with rage. "What grave crime? It was just deleting some useless trash’s identity record! They’re just taking advantage of the situation to extort us!"

"Dad, should we not pay?" Wu Heng asked.

"He’s your son. What do you think? Should we pay?" Old Master Wu said helplessly. "Jingnan Prefecture is the Star Shining Society’s territory now. Our influence can’t reach there at all. Forget it, just pay them. Consider it money spent to make the problem go away. By the way, have you found that assassin you were looking for?"

"Don’t worry, Dad. I’ve already paid the deposit. After the job is done, we’ll pay the other half," Wu Heng answered.

"That’s good. I hope it succeeds this time... Ugh, what a hassle. A single Yang Qi has thrown our entire Wu Family into turmoil. Why is that kid so damn lucky?" Old Master Wu fumed.

Little did he know, if Yang Qi hadn’t been holding back from dealing with the Wu Family, they would likely be completely finished by now. If anyone was lucky, it was them.

Meanwhile, in Thunder City, Yang Qi had used up many Elixirs in his recent string of battles and needed to purchase some medicinal herbs. He went for a stroll through the city’s medicinal market, hoping to find some. The materials for refining ordinary Elixirs didn’t have requirements as high as those for Cultivation. Herbs with just a few years, a decade, or even several decades of spiritual properties would suffice. Plus, with the enhancement from his Spiritual Liquid, the effects would be even better.

Just as he finished buying the herbs and was heading home, he suddenly stopped the car. Standing by the roadside, he took out a piece of chewing gum. He felt a terrifying killing intent wash over him.

Before he could even put the gum in his mouth, the enemy’s attack arrived.

Without a second thought, Yang Qi’s figure vanished from the spot. The next moment, a chilling Sword Qi stabbed into the ground where he had just stood, carving out a large chunk of earth.

If that had hit a person, it probably would have torn off a huge piece of flesh.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

From the dense woods by the road, twelve figures darted out like ghosts. They were not only incredibly fast, but each one emanated an extremely strong murderous intent.

Yang Qi glanced at the twelve individuals. They were all uniformly dressed in black night-crawling suits, making them difficult to detect in the dark woods. Moreover, they all wore wolf masks, a style different from that of the Blood Lotus Sect. Their masks were all black.

The Demon Wolf Cave?

Yang Qi was, after all, the boss of the Star Shining Society now, so he had a fair amount of knowledge about the various organizations in the Jianghu. The Demon Wolf Cave was a new assassin organization that aimed to surpass the Blood Lotus Sect. They liked to wear wolf masks, which came in different colors to denote rank: Gray Wolf, Black Wolf, Silver Wolf, and Gold Wolf. The Gold Wolf was the strongest, and the Gray Wolf was the weakest.

This time, the twelve assassins were all Black Wolf Killers. According to rumors, Black Wolf Killers were all at the Great Grandmaster level, so they were not weak. However, compared to Yang Qi, they were severely overestimating their own abilities.

"To dispatch twelve Great Grandmasters at once... the Demon Wolf Cave really is quite strong. A pity, though. You don’t understand me at all," Yang Qi said, shaking his head.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

...

Twelve murderous shouts rang out as twelve sharp rays of Sword Qi thrust toward Yang Qi. Their speed was extreme, and their power was immense. After all, they were all Great Grandmasters.

"Why don’t you people ever listen? Sigh." Yang Qi shook his head, not bothering to draw his sword. Before him, these people were utterly defenseless; he wasn’t even very interested in making a move.

"Great Curse Technique!"

With a mere thought from Yang Qi, a dark red figure appeared behind him.

The next moment, the twelve assassins were suddenly frozen in place, each letting out a blood-curdling scream.

The most direct—and terrifying—application of the Great Curse Technique was to curse someone to death. However, without a significant disparity in combat power, a killing curse was very difficult to achieve. But this situation was different. Against twelve mere Great Grandmasters, the Great Curse Technique could certainly succeed in cursing them to death.
