I stormed down the mountain, took down all the big shots in the city, and the female CEO dragged me

The old man gazed intently at Xu Yuan, then clasped his hands in a respectful greeting: "Judging from your attire, young friend, you seem to be one of us. May I ask where you come from?"

"Are you here to stand up for him?" Xu Yuan was too lazy to waste words with him.

"I am Diao Zhongjia from the Mingdai Martial Arts Association, and I am a disciple of Zhentian Temple."

Judging by your skills, you must have come from a famous mountain.

Why don't we sit down and have a long chat? Maybe...

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Yuan strode towards Wang Jianguo.

"I'll talk to you in detail after I kill him."

With a flick of the fingertip, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth instantly converges at the sword finger.

"A life for a life, this is your karma."

With a light tap of his sword finger, an invisible stream of true energy transformed into a dart that shot straight at Wang Jianguo's brow.

As he descended the mountain, his master repeatedly reminded him not to harm anyone, but at that moment he no longer cared about his master's teachings.

Diao Zhongjia felt a sudden pause in the flow of energy in front of him, and rushed towards Wang Jianguo with immense power. His aged eyes narrowed slightly, and he realized something was wrong.

He flashed forward, clenched his fist, gathered his true energy, and unleashed a powerful punch to meet the incoming dart.

bang...

The two forces collided in mid-air, overturning the paving stones and ornamental flowers and trees on the lawn.

Diao Zhongjia's body suddenly leaned back and slammed heavily against the wall, clutching his chest and bleeding profusely.

"How is that possible?"

He looked up in astonishment at the young Xu Yuan.

The young man looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, yet his own fifty-plus years of skill were no match for the man's nonchalant sword finger strike.

cough cough...

He coughed violently twice, and then spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Who...who are you?"

Diao Zhongjia frowned, wanting an answer.

This shattered his arrogance of many years, and his Dao heart was broken.

Xu Yuan seemed not to hear him and walked straight up to Wang Jianguo.

"President Diao, save me..."

Before he could finish speaking, a line of blood ran down his neck, and he closed his mouth forever.

Diao Zhongjia looked at Wang Jianguo lying in the water, opened his mouth as if to speak, but swallowed his words back in the end.

The Wang family is finished.

It seems a major earthquake is about to strike Mingdai.

Xu Yuan knelt down in front of his father, placed his fingers on his pulse, and silently closed his eyes. He didn't know if it was rain or tears that slid down his cheeks.

He bent down and picked up Xu Yinheng, then straightened his back and walked towards the Wang family's gate in the pouring rain.

"Let's go home."

"you…"

Diao Zhongjia clutched his chest and called out to Xu Yuan, stopping him in his tracks.

Without turning her head, Xu Yuan asked, "What? You want to stay here too?"

"No."

Diao Zhongjia respectfully cupped his hands and bowed slightly to Xu Yuan: "I have offended you, fellow Daoist. Please forgive me."

From that moment on, I returned to the Taoist temple and never left the mountain again.

Xu Yuan did not respond, but hugged his father, walked out of the Wang family home, and disappeared into the rain.

He walked step by step toward the Xu family.

Click...

Lightning illuminated the Xu family's gate, and Xu Nuo, who had been standing at the door, saw a figure approaching. She excitedly ran towards him, holding up her umbrella.

"Brother, Dad..."

When Xu Nuo's gaze fell on Xu Yinheng, she froze, her umbrella falling to the ground and being blown away by the wind and rain.

"dad…"

A heart-wrenching cry echoed throughout the Xu family home. Yu Juan came out upon hearing the sound, staggered, and nearly fell while leaning against the wall.

As night deepened, the Xu family villa was filled with a sorrowful atmosphere and sobbing sounds.

Thunder rumbled outside the window, and the rain poured down relentlessly without showing any sign of stopping.

Xu Yuan knelt on the roof, facing the direction of Mount Tailing, letting the lightning strike overhead and the rain wash over his body.

"Master, I made a mistake. I killed many people."

"They broke their promises, they didn't keep their word, and they killed my father."

Master, I don't like this kind of worldly experience, I don't like it at all.

His voice was hoarse, and he seemed to vaguely see his master's figure hanging in the night sky.

"Master, they are so bad, they are all bad people."

Didn't you say that the people down the mountain are all good people?

If I hadn't gone down the mountain, would they have survived?

Xu Yuan knelt in the rain, as if he were crying to his master, or reflecting on his own actions.

His experience coming down the mountain was completely different from what he had imagined.

Not long after Xu Yuan left the Wang family, Sun Bo led a large number of police officers into the Wang family home.

Looking at the corpses and blood all over the ground, his face turned ashen, and his fingers trembled slightly uncontrollably.

The younger officers, seeing such a bloody scene for the first time, vomited on the spot.

Sun Bo forced himself to remain composed and walked around the Wang family's house, where he discovered the bodies of Wang Jianguo and his son.

"You never thought this day would come for you, did you?"

The news of the Wang family's massacre spread like wildfire, quickly reaching the ears of influential families in Mingdai.

Someone was awakened from their sleep by the urgent ringing of their cell phone. Upon hearing the news about the Wang family, they immediately sat up, completely losing their pajamas.

At the Du family home, Du Qiteng had just fallen asleep when his phone on the bedside table started vibrating incessantly.

He sat up, touched his gold-rimmed glasses and put them on. After seeing the caller's name, he answered the phone calmly.

"What's going on so late?"

"Mr. Du, the Wang family has been wiped out."

An incredulous voice came from the other end of the receiver.

A flicker of nervousness crossed Du Qiteng's composed face: "Really?"

"It's definitely true. I'm right outside the Wang family's house. I've sent you the photos; they're horrific."

Wang Jianguo and his son are both gone.

Listening to the other party's report, Du Qiteng opened the latest photo and examined it carefully.

"Mr. Du, I also heard that Xu Yinheng has passed away as well."

Do you think the Wang family might have been wiped out by the Xu family?

Du Qiteng didn't speak, staring intently at the photos on his phone.

He never takes speculation seriously; he only looks at things with evidence.

"Go and investigate secretly to see what exactly happened at the Wang family tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Du Qiteng held his phone and stared at the ceiling for a long time.

Who is it?

His wife turned over and asked softly.

Du Qiteng got up and got out of bed: "It's okay, you go to sleep first, I'll go to the study to sleep."

He went to his study, and after careful consideration, made a phone call to his daughter, Du Aili.

"My sweet daughter, are you still awake?"

"You mentioned before that you've met the Xu family's son who just returned?"

"Dad, why did you decide to call and ask about this so late?" Du Aili asked, puzzled.

"Something might have happened to the Xu family. Find an excuse to go there tomorrow."

Spend more time with that guy named Xu Yuan.

"Dad, didn't you tell me not to get involved in the Xu family's affairs before?"

"You'll find out tomorrow." Du Qiteng didn't waste any words, gave his daughter a few instructions, and then hung up the phone.

He got up and walked to the window, looking out at the stormy night.

"Mingdai, things are about to get out of hand."

With the Wang family gone, the businesses he left behind will be coveted by countless people.

More importantly, how will the people behind the Wang family react?

Find another front man and continue supporting another family, just like you supported the Wang family.

Or is it a major reshuffle?

"It's hard to say how the people behind the Wang family will deal with the Xu family."

Is it a blessing or a curse?
