"Bear, how is it? Has Yuhua returned yet?"
In a house in the county town, Wang Cangyi's face was gloomy.
He sent his second disciple out on an errand, but he disappeared for so long.
They assumed that the brat had failed his mission and was too afraid to come back to see him.
After all, his second disciple always liked to cheat and be cunning, and he was quite scheming.
But now, he has a bad feeling.
"There's no news of my junior brother. Even the people from the small gang he subdued haven't returned. However, the people who went out to search for him brought this back."
The eldest disciple, a burly man, also looked rather pale.
He took out a long, thin piece of jade.
What is this?
Wang Cangyi didn't quite understand why his eldest disciple had taken out this jade.
"This piece of white jade is called corundum. It is a type of jade unique to our northern border region. It is produced near our Tiancang Sect. The jade fan that my second junior brother usually uses is made of this corundum."
"In addition, there was a lot of blood around where this piece of fan bone was found."
"Similarly, several miles away, our men found a large pit containing some remains of corpses that had not been completely burned."
The burly man explained.
"What do you mean?" Wang Cangyi's heart sank.
"I suspect that my junior brother has already met with misfortune, and the small gang he led out with him was also not spared," the burly man guessed.
In reality, it was information brought back by the people sent out.
He felt that this guess was probably very close to true.
Otherwise, even if the second brother had the greatest courage, he wouldn't dare to stay away from reporting back to his master for so long.
"Fine, very well!" Wang Cangyi's face darkened, and he trembled with rage. "Who on earth is it that's so hostile to me, Wang Cangyi, killing several of my disciples? Do they really think I'm made of clay?!"
Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from his master, the burly man's heart also chilled.
He knew that his master was truly angry this time.
"Master, what should we do now? The Wei family has been putting up a stubborn resistance and refuses to surrender, and there is also a mysterious force eyeing us covetously. Should we continue to drag this out?"
In truth, even the burly man felt a sense of frustration.
Their Heavenly Azure Sect is renowned throughout the Northern Frontier. Anyone who hears of it will feel a sense of fear and dare not become their enemy.
Unfortunately, in this remote little place, they suffered a series of setbacks, and several of their junior brothers died mysteriously, with no one even knowing who the murderer was.
Such a huge loss was something their Heavenly Cang Sect had never suffered before!
"What's the point of wasting time? If we keep dragging this out, I'm afraid one day you'll be caught in the crossfire too," Wang Cang said coldly.
"Since some people are breaking the rules and trying to reap the benefits without doing anything, then don't blame me for flipping the table!"
"Xiong'er, immediately gather your men and attack the Wei residence. I will raze the Wei residence to the ground today!"
"But Master, now that we've lost our second and third junior brothers, our internal energy cultivation level is insufficient. I'm afraid we're not strong enough to break through the Wei family's Silver Moon Battle Formation," the burly man said urgently.
"It's alright. I will help you when necessary. The Silver Moon Battle Formation is nothing to fear," Wang Cangyi said coldly.
"Master, if you're going to make a move, what about the sacred mountain's prohibition..." The burly man was taken aback.
In other places, they might even kill to silence witnesses, leaving no way to prove anything.
But this is a county town, and with the county magistrate's residence there, they obviously couldn't hide it from everyone.
"Now that things have come to this, do you still expect us to back down? So what if there's a ban from the Holy Mountain? At most, after this is over, I'll imprison myself on the Holy Mountain for ten years. Stop talking nonsense and do as I say right now!"
Wang Cangyi was determined to obtain the Wei family's treasure.
He felt it would be worth it even if he were imprisoned for ten years, as long as he could obtain that treasure.
Upon hearing his master's words, the burly man knew that his mind was made up and that there was no way to dissuade him.
He had no choice but to obey, saying, "Yes, Master, I will go and prepare now."
After the eldest disciple left, Wang Cang looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with determination.
"No matter who you are, if you want to gain an advantage over me, Wang Cangyi, you'd better see if you have the ability!"
"Brother Wang, are you really sure?"
At that moment, a voice rang out, and an old man with white hair and beard and a ruddy complexion walked out from inside.
Clearly, he had just overheard Wang Cangyi's conversation with his disciple.
"Indeed, Brother Zhao, I would appreciate your assistance."
Wang Cangyi seemed completely unsurprised by the presence of the red-faced old man, and instead spoke to him sincerely.
"Very well." The red-faced old man sighed. "Although I don't approve of your killing and robbing, you saved my life back then, so this time, I'll just consider it my way of repaying that favor."
"Brother Zhao, you flatter me. In the Wei family, only the patriarch, Wei Xinghe, has reached the perfect Inner Strength Realm. As long as you and Xiong'er join forces, defeating him will be a piece of cake."
The red-faced old man shook his head and said nothing more.
If it were really that easy, then Wang Cangyi wouldn't have had to drag it out for so long.
When he first arrived, he could have directly attacked the Wei family.
Clearly, the Wei family's reliance is not that simple.
The burly man was very efficient, and soon a large group of martial artists gathered in the courtyard of the house.
"Master, everyone has been gathered," the burly man reported.
"Yes," Wang Cangyi responded, then turned to the red-faced old man and said, "Brother Zhao, thank you for your trouble."
Before long, a large number of martial artists set off from the house and headed towards the Wei residence.
Such a commotion naturally did not escape the notice of those in the city who were interested.
In the county magistrate's residence, the middle-aged man with phoenix eyes felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing his subordinate's report: "Is it finally time to make a move?"
These days, the county town is very peaceful, so peaceful that he almost thought that the mastermind behind it all [N O V E L I G H T] was about to give up.
"Quickly, go and fetch Zhi Rui!"
"Your Excellency, Lord Zhirui is not in his room."
Upon hearing that Zhi Rui was not there, the middle-aged man with phoenix eyes felt a sinking feeling in his heart, knowing that this time, things were probably serious.
He vanished from the courtyard in a flash, heading out of the mansion.
Meanwhile, dozens of martial artists had already gathered outside the Wei residence.
"Wei Xinghe, I'm giving you one last chance. Will you surrender or not?"
The burly man stood at the front, shouting in a booming voice.
"Hahaha! I've already answered this question: there are only Wei family members who died in battle, not Wei family members who surrendered!"
Wei Xinghe's voice came from inside the mansion.
"Fine, since you're so stubborn, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
The burly man had already anticipated this answer.
He looked solemn, raised his hand high, and then brought it down.
"Kill! Slaughter the Wei family, leaving not a single one alive!"
"yes!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than several burly men, each wielding a heavy meteor hammer, stepped forward.
He swung the meteor hammer in his hand rapidly, and after putting all his strength into it, he swung it forward with a mighty swing.
The target was the solemn and imposing vermilion gate of the Wei residence.
boom!
Under the impact of the powerful force, the gate of the Wei residence collapsed with a crash.
