My husband Can Cultivate

Chapter 680: Chapter 680: Don’t be afraid! I’m here!

"If they aren’t even as strong as the Tang Sect, what’s there to be afraid of? I’ll go and deal with them right now! First, let’s take back the Chen Family," Yang Qi said coldly.

They had already pushed him too far, so he naturally couldn’t wait any longer. Moreover, Elder Chen Guo had worked tirelessly and contributed greatly. He couldn’t just stand by and watch the old man suffer.

Elsewhere, Gu Zhiyuan left Gu Mingwu and five Elders in charge while he took three other senior members and left Thunder City. There were rumors that the War God King might soon arrive in Tianhai, and he wanted to try his luck. If he could meet the esteemed War God King, the path ahead for the Tianhai Association would be much smoother.

As for matters in Thunder City, he wasn’t worried. With Gu Mingwu and the five Great Elders holding down the fort, no one could touch the Tianhai Association, regardless of who came. Not to mention, there were also thirty-six Squad Leaders.

Even the Star Shining Society wouldn’t dare to start a direct conflict, would they?

But he never expected that Yang Qi would arrive the moment he left.

Yang Qi had only brought the Undying Barbarian King with him, as the Barbarian King needed combat to grow stronger.

At the entrance of the Chen Family estate, a little girl was cowering, trembling with fear. She wanted to go inside but was too scared, hiding by the wall in extreme anxiety.

"Little Yueyue!" Yang Qi suddenly called out.

The little girl, Chen Yue, jumped with fright and turned to run.

"Why are you running? It’s me," Yang Qi said as he chased after her. This was Chen Baixiang’s cousin, a girl of barely seven or eight. If a child her age wandered around alone, she was bound to get into trouble, so of course, he had to stop her.

"Let go of me! You’re a big bad guy! All of you are bad guys, bullying my grandpa and my sister! I hate you all!"

Chen Yue opened her mouth to bite Yang Qi, but he dodged.

"Little girl, you’ve got quite a temper. Take a good look at who I am," Yang Qi said, exasperated.

Chen Yue finally looked up at him.

Suddenly, her face lit up with joy. "Brother Yang Qi, it’s you! This is great! Did you come to save Grandpa and the others?"

"Of course!" Yang Qi said with a smile. "Don’t run around anymore. Follow me inside."

"Okay!"

Chen Yue had been at school, which was how she had narrowly escaped being captured. Otherwise, she would have been forced to kneel in the Spirit Hall like everyone else.

In Chen Yue’s young mind, Yang Qi was a godlike figure. This was mainly thanks to Chen Baixiang, who would regale Chen Yue with tales of Yang Qi whenever she had the chance, portraying him as a Heavenly God descended to earth. As a result, Chen Yue was conditioned to believe that Yang Qi could save their Chen Family.

Leading little Yueyue by the hand, Yang Qi stepped into the Chen Family compound.

It was still the same Chen Family estate, only it had been usurped.

Many people had come to attend the memorial service over the past few days, so the guards at the gate didn’t stop Yang Qi, assuming he was also there to curry favor with the Tianhai Association. They could never imagine that someone would dare to cause trouble here. After all, besides the Association Head and the other three senior members, the rest of the Tianhai Association was present.

Anyone who dared to make trouble here was simply courting death.

They walked all the way to the Spirit Hall.

The memorial was set up right in the Chen Family’s main hall—a flagrant sign of disrespect. However, Chen Guoyuan and Chen Xingye didn’t care in the slightest. As long as they could ingratiate themselves with the Tianhai Association, they were perfectly happy.

"Brother Yang Qi, all those big bad guys are inside," Chen Yue whispered, her voice choked with tears. "Grandpa and Sister said on the phone that they were all forced to kneel there. Those bad guys even made them kowtow, and if they refused, they would beat them."

It seemed Chen Baixiang had already explained everything over the phone.

"Don’t worry. With me here, they’ll be fine soon. And the people who humiliated them will pay the price. Yueyue, you’ll need to close your eyes later," Yang Qi comforted her.

"Okay!" Chen Yue nodded obediently. She was so well-behaved; her personality was completely different from Chen Baixiang’s.

Inside the Spirit Hall, many people were paying their respects. The members of the Chen Family were forced to kneel on both sides. Some who refused had even had their legs broken.

Yang Qi blended into the crowd, unnoticed, as his expression gradually darkened.

Among the attendees, a man sat there, the very picture of arrogance. Five men stood behind him, all of whom were experts at the Elder level.

That must be Gu Mingwu, one of the four Great Elders of the Tianhai Association and a powerhouse at the Fourth Rank Overlord Level.

He then looked at the members of the Chen Family. Every one of them had palm prints on their faces and blood on their foreheads. Some had broken leg bones and deathly pale faces.

Even Chen Baixiang, a woman, hadn’t been spared. Her hair was a mess, and her face was covered in the marks of countless slaps.

Although Chen Baixiang had a difficult personality in the past, the ability to recognize one’s mistakes and change is a great virtue. She is now the Family Head of the Chen Family, serving the Star Shining Society with utter loyalty. I can’t let these people shed blood and tears. They must understand that someone will get justice for them, that someone has their back.

Chen Guoyuan and Chen Xingye stood smugly beside Gu Mingwu, looking for all the world like two dogs he kept.

"Chen Guoyuan, Chen Xingye, you will not meet a good end! Last time, the Star Shining Society let you go because I pleaded for you. I never expected you to repay kindness with hatred. Now that the Star Shining Society is here, let’s see how you’ll survive," Elder Chen said coldly, gritting his teeth.

He hated these two even more than the Tianhai Association. They were family, yet they had turned on their own. It was truly disheartening.

"You old fool, say whatever you want. But do you really think someone is coming to save you?" Chen Guoyuan sneered. "With a colossal force like the Tianhai Association here, I bet anyone from the Star Shining Society with half a brain has already fled. They’re much smarter than you fools. You’ll all wait here until you die, and no one will come to save you."

"Just you wait! I believe in them," Chen Baixiang retorted, biting her lip. "They said they would protect Thunder City, so they won’t run away."

The image of Yang Qi surfaced in her mind. Even during the ordeal with the Tang Family in Sea City, Yang Qi hadn’t chosen to flee. This time would be no different. Even if the Tianhai Association was stronger, he still wouldn’t run.

"Heh, you’re quite a naive little girl," Gu Mingwu said casually while sipping his tea. "You’re just pinning all your hopes on Ye Feng. He is indeed formidable, but at best, he can only fight me to a draw. I also have five Great Elders, thirty-six Squad Leaders, and Martial Artists from the Tianhai Association gathered from all over. Do you really think Ye Feng can stand against us? In the end, he’ll only be able to watch helplessly as you die one by one. He can’t do a single thing."

"Is that so? What if you’ve underestimated the Star Shining Society?" Elder Chen retorted with a sneer. "Gu Zhiyuan shouldn’t have left, and neither should those three other senior members. If they had stayed, perhaps you would’ve had a chance. But with them gone, you’re all in for a world of hurt."
