My husband Can Cultivate

Chapter 678: Chapter 678: Memorial Service

Gu Mingwu began to have second thoughts.

He had originally planned to take down Ye Feng and eliminate the Star Shining Society to claim the credit for himself. But after truly clashing with Ye Feng, he realized that Ye Feng was not to be trifled with. He might not be able to win in a one-on-one fight.

No, I can’t take this risk. I’ll wait for my elder brother to arrive before making a decision.

Thinking this, Gu Mingwu took a deep breath.

He waved his hand and said, "Let’s go. Take the bodies with us. However, Ye Feng, I won’t settle the score with you today. The day my elder brother arrives in Thunder City will be the day your Star Shining Society is destroyed. Don’t come crying then."

"Heh, I’m afraid it’s your Tianhai Association that will meet the same fate as the Tang Family of Sea City," Ye Feng sneered. "I’ll give you a piece of advice: stop causing trouble. Jin Xing deserved to die. As members of the Martial Arts World, surely you understand a simple principle like this."

"Hmph!"

Gu Mingwu said nothing, simply turning and leaving.

After leaving the Martial Arts Association, Gu Mingwu checked into a hotel and reported the situation to his elder brother, Gu Zhiyuan.

"Sigh, Jin Xing’s death was horrifying. Not even a single hair could be found, only his shattered ornaments and some charred skin. I’ve collected what was left. Brother, should I bring them back, or should I wait for you?" Gu Mingwu sighed.

"Wait for me!"

Gu Zhiyuan’s voice was calm, but Gu Mingwu knew it was the calm before the storm. Gu Zhiyuan did not get angry easily, but when he did, someone would inevitably suffer.

"Also, Brother, I met Ye Feng. He said that if you come, you’ll likely meet the same fate as the Tang Family of Sea City!" Gu Mingwu added.

"How arrogant! What does the Tang Family of Sea City amount to? My Tianhai Association isn’t so easily intimidated! The more he says things like that, the more I want to go to Thunder City. I’d like to see just who thinks they can take my, Gu Zhiyuan’s, life!" Gu Zhiyuan roared.

Meanwhile, Ye Feng found Yang Qi and briefed him on the situation.

"The Tianhai Association? So they finally came after all?" Yang Qi smiled. "I’ve been waiting for them for a long time, and they only show up now! Ye Feng, all of you have been cultivating for quite a while now. Last time, I solved the problem for you. This time, it’s your turn to get some training. Unless it’s a Fifth Rank Overlord, I will not make a move. Understood?"

"Understood!" Ye Feng nodded, his eyes twinkling with excitement.

This was the opportunity Yang Qi was giving them. After all, Thunder City was just a small place. Although Yang Qi was here now, the day would come when the dragon must return to the sea. When that happened, they would be the ones needed to manage Thunder City, and perhaps the entire Jingnan Prefecture. They couldn’t rely on Yang Qi forever.

Just then, Yang Qi’s phone rang. He glanced at the screen and was surprised to see it was the number he had received back in Kang City when he was treating War God King Xiao Chen.

"War God King, what can I do for you?" Yang Qi said with a smile.

The War God King had helped him immensely in the past, and the two had a good relationship.

"I’ll be in Thunder City soon. We’ll talk then. However, I’m coming in secret this time, so don’t tell anyone else," the War God King said.

"Alright. Come directly to Baishan Manor when you arrive."

Although I don’t know the purpose of War God King Xiao Chen’s visit, he’s surely coming to see me. That being the case, I have to be a good host.

「In the hotel.」

"You’re saying Jin Xing fell for Jia Mengxue and got himself killed trying to have her? That kid really was ruled by his hormones. Useless trash," Gu Mingwu said disdainfully.

Beside him, Chen Guoyuan was too frightened to respond.

"You don’t need to be afraid. Tell me, besides Jia Mengxue, who else was connected to Jin Xing’s death?" Gu Mingwu continued.

Jia Mengxue was untouchable. As the young lady of the Jia Family, she was tied to many powerful interests. Making a move against her would trigger a chain reaction that could plunge the Tianhai Association into serious trouble. Only a fool like Jin Xing would have recklessly gone after Jia Mengxue.

"There’s also the Qifei Group," Chen Guoyuan said. "Specifically, their general manager, Li Qingyan. She showed Young Master Jin no respect at all. He originally wanted to buy her out to get control of the Qifei Group, but the woman surprisingly refused him repeatedly. This infuriated Young Master Jin, so he sent men to kill her. As a result, both the Hex Elder and the Sword Elder died."

"Who is behind the Qifei Group?" Gu Mingwu asked.

"It’s said to be the Star Shining Society!" Chen Guoyuan replied.

"The Star Shining Society again!" Gu Mingwu gritted his teeth. "It seems we can’t avoid them. In that case, we must take down the Star Shining Society this time. Taking them down means taking control of everything."

However, to do any of this, I have to wait for Gu Zhiyuan to arrive with reinforcements. I’m keenly aware that I currently lack both the manpower and the necessary combat power.

That very night, Gu Zhiyuan arrived in Thunder City. This time, the Tianhai Association had practically come out in full force. The three remaining Grand Elders, the five Great Elders, numerous Deacons, and all the Squad Leaders had arrived, accompanied by countless Martial Artists from the association. This time, Gu Zhiyuan’s stance was clear: he was determined to annihilate the Star Shining Society and avenge his disciple.

The Tianhai Association purchased a residence in Thunder City, immediately establishing it as their base of operations.

Chen Guoyuan and Chen Xingye also moved in. Their familiarity with Thunder City made them quite useful.

Seeing Gu Zhiyuan in person left both of them beyond excited. He was the President of the Tianhai Association, the very person they had dreamed of meeting. Until now, they had only ever seen him in photographs. Even when they went to Tianhai to pay tribute, they had never met him in person. They never imagined their wish would be granted today.

"Where are Jin Xing’s belongings?" Gu Zhiyuan asked, his gaze falling on Gu Mingwu.

"Brother, I advise you not to look. Seeing them will only deepen your sorrow," Gu Mingwu frowned.

Gu Zhiyuan, however, shook his head, insisting on seeing them.

Left with no choice, Gu Mingwu allowed his brother to see the remains of Jin Xing.

In that instant, Gu Zhiyuan spat out a mouthful of blood. His anger reached its zenith, his blood pressure skyrocketed, and it seemed as if his entire body would erupt in flames.

"Outrageous! Simply outrageous! They wouldn’t even leave my disciple a complete corpse. How deep must their hatred be, how immense their resentment!"

"Brother, please control your grief! Your health is what’s most important!" Gu Mingwu urged hastily.

"I’m fine!" Gu Zhiyuan waved his hand. "Were the bodies of the Sword Elder and the Hex Elder also not found?"

"No!" Gu Mingwu shook his head. "The bodies were disposed of too cleanly."

"Damn that Star Shining Society!" Gu Zhiyuan gritted his teeth. "Spread the word. The day after tomorrow, at the Chen Family’s estate, I will hold a collective memorial service for my disciple and the three elders. It will be held to the highest standards of the Tianhai Association, regardless of the cost. I will pay for it myself!"

"Brother, rest assured, I will arrange it. But why hold the memorial service at the Chen Family’s estate?" Gu Mingwu asked, not understanding.
