Yang Aotian’s mind was blank, his body trembling with fear.
What had he done? He had captured the Dragon King’s wife and daughter and forced the Dragon King to kneel! He had almost slapped the Dragon King.
Instantly, Yang Aotian thought of many things. He was dead, his Yang family was dead, and his second uncle was finished.
At this moment, recalling his experiences since arriving in Jiangcheng, Yang Aotian suddenly understood. No wonder the Jiangcheng City Lord refused to see him, and no wonder the heads of the major families in Jiangcheng had left Jiangcheng.
It turned out that it was all because of the man in front of him, the Dragon King Li Xiaotian!
With a “crack,” Li Xiaotian casually crushed Yang Aotian’s throat and threw him to the ground.
As he was dying, Yang Aotian had only one thought in his mind: their Yang family was finished. If they had known Li Xiaotian was the Dragon King, let alone the fact that he had destroyed the Wang family, even if they had been asked to destroy the Wang family themselves, their Yang family would not have dared to refuse.
Li Xiaotian found Ye Qingmei and her daughter. The mother and daughter were still in shock. Seeing Li Xiaotian return, they both rushed forward and hugged him.
“Xiaotian!”
“Daddy!” Ye Qingmei and Tiantian hugged Li Xiaotian tightly, weeping.
Li Xiaotian bent down, picked up Tiantian, and then embraced Ye Qingmei, his face filled with guilt, his voice gentle.
“I’m sorry, I was careless this time. This will never happen again.”
Long Yi looked self-reproachful. If she hadn’t been chatting with Li Xiaotian, perhaps the accident wouldn’t have happened. As Li Xiaotian’s subordinate, she should have stayed with Ye Qingmei and her daughter all along!
“Have the secret guards send people to Daqin!” Li Xiaotian said to Long Yi, his tone devoid of blame.
“Yes!” Long Yi responded, a little shocked in her heart. The secret guards had not been deployed when the Dragon King’s Hall had previously pressured Daqin. Now, the King was ordering the secret guards to come to the Qin country, which seemed to indicate he was even more furious than last time.
The Dragon King’s Hall secret guards, directly led by Li Xiaotian, were not numerous, but each of them was a powerful individual. As far as Long Yi knew, there were no less than five people in the secret guards whose combat power reached the level of War God.
Furthermore, all the secret guards were proficient in various assassination techniques, their actions were brutal, and they never left survivors.
Li Xiaotian and his entourage left the amusement park. After this incident, Ye Qingmei and her daughter had no desire to continue their outing.
As soon as they exited the amusement park gate, the Jiangcheng City Lord and a group of leaders from various Jiangcheng systems stood at the entrance, trembling.
At this moment, the Jiangcheng City Lord was extremely frightened. By the time he received the news from the amusement park, it was already too late, and he was terrified.
Fortunately, Li Xiaotian’s wife and daughter were unharmed. If anything had happened to them, he would have been finished.
“Tell the Yang family that in three days, they will be exterminated!” Li Xiaotian said calmly.
“Yes! Yes! Yes! I will definitely deliver your message.” The Jiangcheng City Lord nodded repeatedly, not daring to look up.
They remained bent over, and only after Li Xiaotian and the other three had left for more than ten minutes did they straighten up, each revealing an expression of having narrowly escaped death.
At this moment, the Jiangcheng City Lord harbored deep hatred for the Yang family. If the Yang family wanted to find death, they could do so, but they had almost dragged him down with them.
In the car, Li Xiaotian continued to comfort Ye Qingmei and her daughter. This accident had terrified the two of them considerably. After finally recovering from the Wang family’s affairs, they were now frightened by the Yang family.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaotian felt a deep sense of guilt.
He needed to have a serious talk with Ye Qingmei about his identity. He knew that Ye Qingmei had never truly believed his previous words and had no understanding of foreign powers.
That was why she had been so terrified when she encountered Yang Aotian of the Yang family today. If Ye Qingmei had already known his identity and understood the weight of the Dragon King’s Hall in the world, she would have been more confident when she met Yang Aotian today and wouldn’t have been so stimulated again.
However, aside from this, the reason Li Xiaotian had sent for the secret guards to come to Qin was to protect Ye Qingmei and her daughter in secret.
Although he had always been by his wife and daughter’s side, it was better to be safe than sorry.
With the secret guards constantly protecting his wife and daughter, even if he were to leave them for a moment, no one would be able to bully his wife and daughter as easily as they did today.
At the same time, Jiang Hai, the Governor of Jiangnan, was the first to receive a report from the Jiangcheng City Lord and learned about what had happened at the amusement park today.
“Bang!” In the Governor of Jiangnan’s mansion, Li Shanhai casually smashed the teacup in his hand, his face filled with rage. He had not left Jiangnan and had been living in the Governor’s mansion precisely to prevent further accidents.
However, he never expected that what he feared most would happen.
Li Xiaotian had destroyed the Wang family and vented his anger, and the people from the Dragon King’s Hall had withdrawn. But who would have thought that just a few days later, the Yang family, without any foresight, would provoke him again.
“A mere Yang family, do they not have anyone with deep insight? Are they all fools?!”
“The Wang family was destroyed, and although all information was blocked, did no one in their Yang family ever think about why?”
“They claim to be a millennium-old family, yet they are all fools!”
“All of Li Xiaotian’s information is blocked by us, and they in the Yang family are unaware. Did they never consider that only when we officials take action would they remain unaware and receive no news at all?”
“Jiang Hai! What are you doing? Do you still want your position as Governor?”
Li Shanhai berated Jiang Hai, and everyone in the Governor’s mansion was trembling. Jiang Hai, in particular, was bowing so low that he was almost kneeling.
“Sir Li, Jiang Hai admits his guilt!” Jiang Hai felt bitter. He had never expected that the aristocratic families within his jurisdiction would be so foolish, unable to see through such a simple deception.
In fact, it was quite simple. Daqin was powerful, and the domestic aristocratic families had long since grown complacent, only thinking about how to strengthen their families and paying no attention to other matters.
Moreover, families like the Yang family, being top-tier families within a region, were accustomed to being high and mighty. When suddenly provoked, they wouldn’t think of anything else. Their first reaction would definitely be to regain their honor.
“Sir, should we warn the Yang family?” Jiang Hai asked courageously.
“Warn them for what? Are you out of your mind?” Li Shanhai became even angrier upon hearing this, pointing his finger at Jiang Hai repeatedly.
“Warn the Yang family so they can escape in advance? Or have them go to Jiangcheng to beg for forgiveness?”
“Do you know the seriousness of this matter? The Dragon King Li Xiaotian has instructed the Jiangcheng City Lord to pass a message, demanding the extermination of the Yang family.”
“It is precisely so that we also know his decision. If we leak his identity to the Yang family, he will have nowhere to vent his anger.”
“Tell me, whose anger will bear the Dragon King’s wrath if he keeps it bottled up?”
“Is it you? Or me?”
Jiang Hai suddenly understood and nodded in agreement, but then hesitated and spoke.
“The Yang family has considerable influence in Jiangnan, and their eldest son, the Yang family patriarch’s second son, is a overlord abroad. If the Yang family mobilizes all of them this time, I’m afraid…”
“What are you afraid of?” Li Shanhai glared at Jiang Hai and then sneered.
“This time, the Governor’s mansion will remain completely silent. If the Yang family wants to stir up trouble, and if some short-sighted individuals want to join them in seeking death, then let them die.”
“And that Yang family’s general, hmph, flaunting the banner of Daqin and committing evil abroad, has brought no small amount of shame to our Qin country. Even if he refrains from acting this time, I will find an opportunity in the future to destroy his rabble!”
Saying this, Li Shanhai sighed deeply.
“Some of the so-called top aristocratic families in Qin have long overstepped their bounds in many matters. I was already thinking about how to deal with these parasites.”
“Now, it’s good. The Dragon King has destroyed the Yang family, and the Jiangnan Governor’s mansion will step forward to thoroughly rectify the major aristocratic families in the Jiangnan region. Those who should be destroyed will be destroyed, and those who should be punished will be punished.”
“These aristocratic families should be properly disciplined, and we will start the rectification from Jiangnan with this opportunity.”
“Yes, Sir!” Jiang Hai responded, feeling both shocked and excited. Although he was the Governor of Jiangnan and the sky of Jiangnan,
He honestly couldn’t do anything about some of the top aristocratic families. Many of them had connections that reached to the heavens.
Therefore, in his many years of governing Jiangnan, he had been constrained.
But if Li Shanhai supported him in rectifying the aristocratic families of Jiangnan, then in the future, his control over Jiangnan would truly be absolute. Only then would he be the true master of Jiangnan’s destiny!
Meanwhile, in the ancestral home of the Yang family in Jiangnan, roars and shouts could be heard from the main hall of the ancestral home that night. The servants in the ancestral home were all trembling.
Since they had joined the Yang family, they had never seen the head of the Yang family fly into such a rage.
The core members of the Yang family were all in the main hall. The Yang family patriarch looked grief-stricken, and the Yang family head’s face was ashen. Beside him, a woman in utter despair was being supported.
The other members of the Yang family also had angry expressions, but among the men around Yang Aotian’s age, while their faces were also filled with anger, a hint of joy flashed in their eyes.
Yang Aotian was dead, and the future head of the Wang family would have to be re-elected. This way, others would have a chance.
Yang Cuihua, the mother of Wang Longtao, looked conflicted. She was worried about the whereabouts of her son and grandson, but since Yang Aotian had been killed because of her Wang family’s affairs, she was the most awkward person in the hall at the moment.
“Outrageous! This is simply too presumptuous! Li Xiaotian is bullying my Yang family too much!”
The Yang family patriarch roared, his face filled with grief and indignation. His most promising grandson was dead, and before he died, his arms had been broken. Thinking of the pain his grandson had endured at that moment, his heart was filled with both sorrow and anger.
“Father! Our Yang family, as a millennium-old family in Jiangnan, has never been so insulted!”
The Yang family head’s face was contorted, and his voice was choked with tears.
“Please order, Father! I want to personally go and avenge my son! Kill that beast Li Xiaotian!”
“Kill! Kill! Kill! Take people and kill him now! No! Break all his limbs and bring him back!”
The Yang family patriarch had gone mad, his eyes bloodshot. If it weren’t for his physical condition, he would have been more eager than anyone to capture Li Xiaotian himself.
Just as the Yang family head was about to nod and leave, Yang Longhai, the second master of the Yang family, who had been sitting behind the Yang family patriarch, spoke up.
