Chapter 86: Disabled, the Law Enforcement Hall Comes to the Door

The whole sequence had come too abruptly. First there was a call from the old master of the Wang family, and now another from the old master of the Mu family. All these signs pointed to one thing: this was by no means a coincidence.

Seventh Uncle set down his phone, then slowly turned his head to look at Xiao Yu, who sat on the sofa. Only then did he understand why these people had never taken them seriously; it turned out that their backing was far more terrifying than the so-called Seven Minor Families. He knew this matter would most likely not end so easily today.

Xiao Yu looked down from above, eyes blazing as he fixed his gaze on Wang Jie, who was kneeling before him, and said softly, “Just now, you said my wife could fetch a very good price, didn’t you?”

At those words, Wang Jie’s whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. The force of his kowtows grew heavier and heavier, until before long his forehead was covered in blood.

“You. Come here.” Xiao Yu ignored Wang Jie and turned his gaze to Mu Rongfu, his voice suddenly sharp.

“Damn it!”

Hearing Xiao Yu speak to him with such arrogance, Mu Rongfu’s hot temper flared at once. But before he could finish, Seventh Uncle beside him suddenly stood up, then led Mu Rongfu over to Xiao Yu.

With a slight squeeze of Seventh Uncle’s palm, Mu Rongfu instantly dropped to his knees. Confused and alarmed, Mu Rongfu was about to question Seventh Uncle when, to his astonishment, Seventh Uncle also fell to his knees with a thud before his eyes.

“Seventh Uncle, you—” Mu Rongfu was stunned. He could not understand why Seventh Uncle would do this.

Seventh Uncle ignored him, slammed his head to the ground three times in heavy, resounding bows, then lifted his face and met Xiao Yu’s eyes. “Sir, this matter began with our fault. If you wish to kill or punish us, we will submit without complaint. But I hope, for the old master of the Mu family’s sake, that you will spare his grandson’s life.”

Having said this, Seventh Uncle bowed three more times to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu slowly rose to his feet and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, standing with his hands behind his back. Without turning around, he said, “Death may be spared, but punishment cannot. Since the young masters of your two families like to run wild so much, then from now on, let them stay obediently at home.”

As soon as the words fell, Tai Sui stepped forward and slowly approached Wang Jie and Mu Rongfu. He then took hold of both men’s arms and gave a light squeeze. Two crisp cracks sounded at once, followed by two shrill screams.

But Tai Sui did not stop there. He seized their other arms and squeezed again. The searing pain caused both men to faint on the spot.

“For the sake of the past ties I once had with the Wang and Mu families, I will not kill them today. I have crippled both their arms as payment. When you return, convey my words to your two old masters: if they do not discipline the younger generation properly, the Mu and Wang families will sooner or later be ruined by these people.”

After saying this, Xiao Yu paid them no further heed and turned to leave the room. Jiang Qin and Li Ge hurried after him. Only as he was leaving did Tai Sui glance at Seventh Uncle and say coldly, “Today, the boss showed mercy and spared you all. You ought to be grateful.”

After Xiao Yu and the others had left, the room once again fell into silence. Seventh Uncle exchanged a glance with the middle-aged man from the Wang family; both could only shake their heads helplessly. Then each picked up his own young master and, without the slightest delay, rushed back to the capital.

After leaving the hotel, Xiao Yu and the others returned to the villa.

Perhaps Ye Shihan had been frightened beyond measure; when Xiao Yu returned to the villa, Liu He said that Ye Shihan had already gone to rest. Xiao Yu did not go to disturb her.

Thus the group came to the pavilion in the villa garden.

“How are your injuries healing?” Xiao Yu asked, looking at Tai Sui and the others.

Back in the Shrine of Ise in the Land of Cherry Blossoms, all of them had suffered injuries to varying degrees. Xiao Yu had never forgotten the words he had said to the shrine that day. A trip to the Land of Cherry Blossoms was inevitable.

“Boss, are we going to the Land of Cherry Blossoms?” Hearing Xiao Yu ask this, Tai Sui and the others immediately understood what he was about to say. “We’re ready anytime!”

Just as Xiao Yu was about to speak again, the phone placed on the stone table suddenly rang with a message alert. Xiao Yu frowned, opened it, and his expression tightened.

“Get ready. We’ll have visitors soon.” Xiao Yu put away the phone and said to Tai Sui and the others.

Tai Sui and the others were puzzled at once. At that moment, several powerful auras suddenly surged from the distant void. Their pupils contracted sharply, and they looked up at once.

In the far-off sky, several dark figures were speeding toward them. The aura emanating from these people even made Tai Sui and the others wary.

“They’re cultivators. Could they be from the Enforcement Hall?”

As the figures drew near, Li Ge could make out their clothing. They were all dressed in black robes and standing on flying swords. No wonder Tai Sui and the others felt a chill; cultivators capable of sword flight were already at the Nascent Soul stage, on par with their own cultivation.

“Looks like the battle at Wolong Mountain has already reached the Enforcement Hall. They’ve come with ill intent,” Xiao Yu sighed quietly. In his heart, unless it was absolutely necessary, he truly did not wish to tangle with the Enforcement Hall. After all, they were all cultivators.

Yet no one knew when it had begun, but cultivators and martial artists had long harbored mutual enmity. Pursuing the Dao of Immortality, these cultivators fancied themselves all-powerful immortals, and in their eyes, people like Xiao Yu, mere martial artists, were beneath contempt. This only deepened the conflict between the two sides.

Cultivators had the Enforcement Hall as their backing, while martial artists relied on the Martial Dao Alliance. Though no large-scale war had broken out between them, covert struggles and hidden clashes were by no means rare. And as for these matters, both the Enforcement Hall and the Martial Dao Alliance largely turned a blind eye.

In the blink of an eye, ten cultivators descended from the sky into the villa. Then they strode arrogantly toward the pavilion where Xiao Yu and the others stood.

Seeing these cultivators, who had clearly come with ill intent, Tai Sui and the others wore grim expressions, but Xiao Yu himself remained remarkably calm. What surprised Xiao Yu even more was that among the group he actually saw a familiar face: Wang Bo, the man who had once been taken away by the head of the Phoenix City branch of the Enforcement Hall from the Wang family estate.

Xiao Yu had not expected that in just a few months, Wang Bo would have advanced from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage. That was indeed a mark of talent. Looking at Wang Bo, who walked in the very front, it was obvious that he now held some standing within the Enforcement Hall.

“Well, well. If it isn’t the Wang family’s stray dog from back then.”
