It was that precise night that a terrifying storm sprung out all of a sudden, covering the whole Capital and spreading further into the small provinces.
Out of nowhere, an unresolvable blood feud had actually started between two big families of the capital, a blood feud that turned them into mortal enemies.
The Cao Family had lost their Young Master at the hands of the Young Master of the Ling Family, while the Ling Family representatives had been fully extinguished from the Cao Family.
It was worth mentioning that Young Master Ling should have died as well in that mess, but due to his special situation at that moment, the knife piercing his chest had missed his heart.
In fact, Young Master Ling's heart was on the right side of his chest, a medical fact that no one besides his close family knew about, so he had escaped death.
Both Patriarchs and Master of the two Families were infuriated once they got the news, as they couldn't believe that something like this had happened.
Their two Families had reached a great agreement to destroy the Cui Family and distribute everything among themselves only to actually turn into mortal enemies.
The current situation didn't allow for either of them to draw back and try to talk, as each side had suffered grave damages from this situation.
It was said that upon learning the news of his son perishing under the hands of Young Master Ling of the Ling Family, the Family head of the Cao Family even placed a bounty on the guy's head.
Despite everything, the Ling Family Head sent a letter message to Cao Family Head asking him to not be hasty and talk things through, but the answer he received was quite baffling for him.
"Give me your son's head if you want to talk!"
That had enraged even the Ling Family Head, so he didn't try to talk things through anymore, but announced that from that day forth the two Families would become enemies.
Only one of them could live under the same sky!
That wasn't the most surprising news though, because the next day it was reported that even the Cui Family's people were attacked by a group of unknown assailants.
The Cui Family had actually lost 4 of their Elders, with the remaining three and Young Master Cui Xie heavily injured.
They even presented a large price for whoever had any clue about the assailants or knew of their location. In a short amount of time, the storm had been stirred up even more.
At the same time, a lot of weaker families that had actually participated in the banquet of the Li Family announced the death of their people, giving quite a strong hit to the country's security and economy.
After this whole mess, the government was forced to release a red Dragon Command to actually investigate everything and try to find the culprit as Families started doubting each other.
After all, who would have the guts to act against the big families of the country besides the families themselves and those hidden martial houses that thought only of strength and martial arts.
It was extremely possible that one such family had decided to actually fall from grace and take control of the secular world, but that was something that they had no intention of letting happen.
Even if God descended in this secular world, these families would still gather together and fight against him, as there was no way they were going to let go of the benefits and power they had.
The red Dragon Command didn't manage to find many different things from what was reported, as the most shocking discovery was the imprisonment of the old Li Family Patriarch in the Family's forbidden land.
The whole Li Family was in a mess, while even the two ladies, Li Yao and Madam Li had actually disappeared into thin air.
This was bound to be a time of chaos and difficulty for the whole country, as many sleeping dragons and crouching tigers would reveal their selves.
…
While all this was happening around the country, Eric had actually arrived at the Cui Family house once again, playing Young Master Cui Xie's trusted servant.
This time he was accompanied by two more beauties, who didn't seem to like each other but were actually sympathizing with each other's pain.
With a little help from Eric, the two beauties faces had actually aged and wrinkled a lot, making them lose their beauty and luster of previous.
Even if their own biological father were to see the two of them at this moment, he wouldn't be able to recognize them.
As for the reason why he had returned to the Cui Family once again, there were two. The first being the safety of this place. After what happened, even the government would keep an eye on this place.
The most dangerous place was the safest place to hide most of the time!
Secondly, it was due to the fact that he needed to buy a lot of goods including food, herbs, weaponry, and daily products.
Since it would be too bothersome to actually buy them from the Markets, he would use Cui Xie's identity to buy a lot of small companies and factories that were capable of completing his needs.
Since he was here, he could even help Cui Xie to take full control of the Cui Family, and even use the Cui Family for his benefit.
At this moment, Eric was actually enjoying himself inside Cui Xie's room with Li Yao, as Madam Li was just looking out of the window, while Cui Xie himself was practicing and cultivating.
"Hhahaha~! Cousin Xie, it has been quite some time since I last saw you! I heard everything that happened to you in your last endeavor with the Li Family, and I was really worried about you!
I can't show it how happy I am that you didn't die there! After all, I need to personally take care of the trash in my family, don't you think!?"
The guy who entered inside like this was his own place, without caring about Cui Xie's situation and condition was his big cousin Cui Hu.
This guy was a narrow-minded and greedy idiot who thought that everything under the sky belonged to him, and his father.
Through all kinds of schemes and ploys, he had become the Young Master of the Family, and also the next in line for the Master position.
Cui Xie's appearance and existence seemed to have frightened him quite a bit, so he would always try to come and run his mouth to make himself feel better.
"Cousin Hu truly surprises this little one, because he has actually come to visit this so-called trash! Don't tell me that Cousin Hu feels more comfortable around trash!"
"Cui Xie you trash, you better not provoke me otherwise…"
"Otherwise what Cousin Hu, will you go and make more trouble like this time!? Endangering the lives of the Cui Family Elders for your selfish motives!?
Oh please, be my guest!"
"Hehehhe~! You were lucky this time trash, but don't think that you will always be so lucky! One day I will make sure to extinguish you from existence!
Oh right, don't worry about your sister, I have heard that she is quite the beauty, and I am missing a feet washer in my courtyard! I will treat her just like she deserves, a little animal for me to release my lust!"
"You bastard do you think I don't dare to kill you!?"
With that said, Cui Xie released his full pressure and aura upon the guy in front of him, even appearing in front of him in an instant, grabbing him by the throat and picking him up!
The truth was that Cui Hu had said and done all this trying to provoke and incite Cui Xie to react, so he could easily give him a good beating and even kill him if he could.
He was so happy to have actually broken through the 3rd Realm just before returning back to the Cui Family, and he wanted to give Cui Xie a taste of his new strength.
Unfortunately, he had miscalculated a small problem, as Cui Xie was actually not as weak as he had thought.
Cui Xie wasn't a 2nd Realm trash like he had thought but had actually reached 3rd Realm as well. While their strength was similar, Cui Xie had reacted too quickly and caught him unprepared.
"3rd Realm!? Ho-how is it possible!?"
"When even trash like you are able to reach the 3rd Realm, do you think it will be much more difficult for me!?
You better wash your mouth with soap before talking about my sister once again otherwise the consequences you will suffer will be beyond your wildest nightmares!"
"You…"
But he didn't have the time to talk back as Cui Xie didn't seem in the mood to continue this show and threw him out of his place and closed the door!
Humiliated like that, Cui Hu gritted his teeth like an angry wolf and then ran in an unknown direction. Today he had lost the courage to fight with Cui Xie.
As he had thrown out of the door the pesky fly, Cui Xie was about to seat and continue with his work, when he saw Eric get out with a displeased look on his face.
"You let him off too easily!"
"He is the Family's Young Master, I can't act extensively towards him right now!"
"You are right, you can't, but I can! To think that he could speak like that for my women…
