Otherworldly-Cultivator

Chapter 328 Herculean Ruler

Three people were standing on a tree near Qingshui Mansion, and one of them immediately informed his friends. “There was no one in the mansion because I didn’t detect any heat from human bodies.”

“Are you sure about that?”

“Yes, I’m pretty sure that there’s no one inside.”

“How about we check the mansion? We might be able to find some clues about them.” 𝘦𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.

After they agreed, the three guards immediately moved into Qingshui Mansion, but Mao Tianxie suddenly appeared in front of them.

“Why have you come here, Old Tianxie?”

Mao Tianxie sighed softly. “We’ve lost too many people, so I came here to help you all, and I can save you guys if Chen Li wants to kill you.”

“Unfortunately, your coming was in vain, and there was no one inside, so we intended to look for some clues.”

Mao Tianxie was surprised for a moment after hearing that, but he immediately enveloped them with his space superpower. “Let’s go inside then.”

In the blink of an eye, Mao Tianxie had brought the three into the main building, and they tried to find any information.

Unfortunately, their efforts were in vain, especially since there were no important clues in the mansion, and they only found Aunt Jiang sleeping soundly in her room.

Not only them, Mao Tianxie could only sigh to himself after he didn’t find anything, and he then asked them. “What about your search results?”

“We couldn’t find anything.”

One of them suddenly asked him. “Where do you think they all went, Old Tianxie?”

“Hmm?” Mao Tianxie did not immediately answer his question and used his superpower to check the entire area of the mansion once again, but it was still in vain. “I don’t know where they went, and I’m sure all the city cameras wouldn’t be able to record their movements either.”

“So what should we do now?”

“There’s nothing we can do.” Mao Tianxie then took them all out of the Qingshui Mansion. “You guys can wait for them here, and I will go meet my old friend. However, the three of you must always be alert, and most importantly, never provoke Chen Li’s anger.”

“Yes!”

Mao Tianxie looked at the Qingshui Mansio for a while, but then he sighed and disappeared from the sight of the three personal guards.

“You should contact our boss.”

“I know.”

Meanwhile, Huang Tian and three other people were gathered in a hotel room, but their expressions were clearly not good, especially after their plan to convince the old man to attack Chen Li had failed miserably due to Mo Ling’s revelation.

“What do you think we should do now, Old Huang?” Jiang Ye asked him.

Jiang Ming also asked his father-in-law. “What if we act by ourselves to attack Chen Li? Once he finds out everything, especially about those two beasts, I’m not sure if that old bone will dare to attack him.”

“I myself want to attack Chen Li directly, but we will definitely die at his hands if we do it with just the four of us.” Huang Tian replied with a heavy sigh. “Even if those two mythical creatures weren’t around, he still had many powerful people by his side. Indeed, my superpower strength has already doubled now, but I still don’t have the confidence to be able to face them all at once.”

The other three people couldn’t help but sigh after listening to his words, for they also realized that they were not opponents of Chen Li and the others, and Huang Rong then said to Huang Tian. “Father, what do you say if we use Nan Wei’s plan? We can mobilize our people to capture the people from the Long Feng Pavilion, and we can use them to force him to surrender to us.”

“I think it can be done, Old Huang.” Jiang Ye said to him. “However, Nan Wei will be the one to reap the benefits if we do that, and his dominance in the underworld will be even more unshakable. If that happens, I’m afraid he will bite us later.”

“Heh!” Huang Tian snorted after hearing his last sentence. “Even though Nan Wei and the Kylin Gang are quite strong, they are still not our opponents, and I can squash him to death easily.”

“Does that mean we’re really going to do it, father-in-law?” Jiang Ming asked.

Huang Tian nodded and contacted someone via his smartphone, and he ordered that person to deploy his subordinates to Beijing as quickly as possible.

Even Jiang Ye did the same, and he mobilized his subordinates. “Ming’er, you contact Long Jiuxiao and tell him that we ordered him to summon his subordinates as soon as possible.”

“Yes, Father.” Jiang Ming immediately followed his father’s orders, and Huang Rong smiled in satisfaction at seeing them like that.

“What happened?” Tang Wan asked her husband with a raised eyebrow. “It’s midnight, and you’ve just come home, but you want to go out again.”

“Huang Tian and Jiang Ye ordered me to gather my men, and they want to attack Chen Li’s subordinates.” Tang Wan was shocked after hearing Long Jiuxiao’s answer, and her expression became a little complicated, but she was lucky that he did not notice it. “All right, you can continue sleeping, and I will bring Jin Kang with me to help us.”

However, after Long Jiuxiao left their house again, Tang Wan went straight to her husband’s study to look for his criminal documents, for she wanted to free their son as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, after she searched for some time, Tang Wan could not find those documents in his study. “Where did he keep them? Could he have kept them at the company? Or could he have kept them at my late parents-in-law’s house?”

Tang Wan then sighed before returning to her room. “Since it’s already midnight, I will look for that house tomorrow morning, and I hope all the documents are really there; only then can I save Aotian from Chen Li’s hands faster.”

In the Mo family’s living room, the Mo father and son were sitting opposite each other, and Mo Ling asked him. “What do you think Huang Tian and the others will do next, Dad?”

*Tap… Tap…*

“Hmm?” Mo Long thought as he tapped his fingers on the table. “If my guess is correct, they will definitely carry out Nan Wei’s idea, for I’m sure that they won’t dare to fight Chen Li head-on, so they will use those people to make him surrender to them.”

“Isn’t that too reckless?” Mo Ling asked with a black forehead.

“Yeah, you’re right.” Mo Long replied with a nod. “However, I know Huang Tian very well, and Chen Li’s actions have made him anxious and feel threatened, especially since no one in this country has ever dared to do such things before, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he made that decision.”

Mo Ling nodded in understanding. “If Huang Tian really decides to do that, I’m sure Jiang Ye and Jiang Ming will definitely go along with his plan, and they’ll probably order Long Jiuxiao to help them too.”

“Yes.” Mo Long rubbed his tired face as he spoke to his son again. “I don’t know what will happen next, but we must be prepared to face the destruction of the other three families. However, if Chen Li really destroys them, the situation in this city will become much more chaotic, and a huge commotion will definitely occurred here. Besides, if your guess is correct that Mayumi Keiko is his woman now, I think that we should leave this country for a while, for I don’t want anything to happen to you, especially since you tried to attack her before, and we’ll return once the situation is under control.”

Mo Ling himself had thought about it before, and he felt fearful towards Chen Li. “I will inform my wife about this, so she can prepare everything right now.”

“Phew!” Chen Li breathed a sigh of relief as he searched for the beast core of the last beast he had just killed, and he found it inside its corpse’s head. “I didn’t expect that beast cores were actually very rare; I’ve killed a hundred beast, but I only got ten lower-grade beast cores.”

[Herculean Ruler x1 Obtained]

“Hmm?” Chen Li frowned after he read the ruler’s description, especially since it was huge and heavy. “Sigh, I’ll try using it tomorrow.”

Chen Li spread his senses across the forest, and he found Lin Qingzhu and several other women had returned to their camp. However, they looked extremely exhausted, and some of them seemed to be in pain due to their injuries.

Meanwhile, several other women, such as Chen Wei’er, Xiao Xianglin, and Xuanyuan Feng’er, are still enthusiastic about their training. However, they did not train under the guidance of the spirit women anymore, and they trained with Sun Xing’er and Xuanyuan Wan’er instead.

Regarding Feng Xian’er, Chen Li discovered his wife battling a number of beasts at once, but she wasn’t fighting alone because Fang Xieyu was there to assist her.

“Where are Sister Huoli and the others? Why can’t I find them in this forest or in Tianyi Realm?” Chen Li wondered to himself as he frowned, and he then tried to contact them, but none of them answered his calls. “Sigh, forget it; I’m going to meet my little phoenix right now.”
