Chapter 184 Reaction

They were acquaintances who had never met, but were on Li Ye's list of people to be punished.

In this respect, they both share the same goal.

Lu Zhao didn't want to talk much, and now wasn't the time for him to make requests; his main task at the moment was...
They were planning to raise a few good dogs and then raid the house.

"Let's go all out! Giving it to Yangcheng is nothing, let's give it to all the martial artists in the Jianghuai region!"

Lu Zhao's eyes hardened. "These two families can be used as examples to deal with. As long as you can hold on, we can force out the Six Ghosts Sect in a short time."

"You can figure it out."

Li Ye chuckled: "You're an expert in this area, so I'll leave it to you."

Whether a family is impoverished or not is unimportant; what matters is knowing how to deal with these small families. Li Ye couldn't be bothered to notify them one by one.

After saying that, he went straight up to the fifth floor. There was a simple bedroom inside the office. He would make do here for the time being until the higher-ups arranged a proper place for him to live.

Lu Zhao returned to the archives and began sending out mass messages.

……

Juanxia, ​​a second-realm martial artist from Yangcheng, had broken through the Vajra Pass and the Divine Speed ​​Pass. He was already a powerful figure in a small city, but not enough in a central city.

Although he couldn't become the dominant force, he still had influence in Yangcheng due to his powerful military strength, and he also owned several businesses developed in the Demon Realm.

"You said the young master of the Wu family and the youngest son of the Shi family are gone? And then you came back?"

At this moment, in the magnificent and spacious hall, Juan unraveled the incoherent words of his trembling son, found the thread in them, and then his eyes widened.

He knew that his own child was the younger brother of the Wu family's son and they often played together, and he didn't object to it.

The Wu family has many channels, and he himself relies on the channels provided by the Wu family to do business. After all, not everything produced in the Demon Realm is purchased by them, and some by-products still need to find a market.

It's a good thing that my son is tied to the Wu family's son.

But things aren't so nice right now.

The kid came running back with his face covered in blood, and he was stuttering as he kept repeating things like "head" and "blood." It was obvious that something had happened, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Judging from his expression and heart rate, he was clearly terrified. He was a martial artist whose blood and qi were surging, but he couldn't control it, which was disappointing.

After confirming that the young master of the Wu family and the youngest son of the Shi family were dead, Hu Anxia felt a sudden darkness before his eyes. His first reaction was that he was glad his son was safe, but his second reaction was that he wondered why his son hadn't died with him.

This is a contradictory thought, but the reality is that the sons of two third-realm martial artists are gone, while those who were with them have survived. If they wait until they realize what's happening and get angry, it won't just be their sons who die, but they themselves will probably be finished as well.

Martial artists who reach the second realm have a much longer lifespan than ordinary people. Even though this is his only son, it is related to the love he encountered when he became famous. His wife died young, leaving only this son.

But at this critical juncture, he also had to consider his own future; only by living could he have a future.

Otherwise, if he dies, his son will also be bullied.

With this thought in mind, Juan hardened his heart, disregarding whether he would be further frightened. He glared and slapped him hard across the face, making him spin like a top.

After spinning around a few times, the man collapsed to the ground, covering his mouth and shaking his head as if he were seeing stars, but he also regained some clarity.

"Speak! What exactly happened! Explain yourself!"

Juan's face turned fierce. "If you can't explain it, I'll send you down to reunite with them, so you don't harm anyone!"

"dad"

The man stood there stunned for a long time before finally bursting into tears: "Their heads have been ripped off, Dad! It was the rebel leader who did it! He chopped off Wu Ge and Shi Ge's heads!"

The rebel leader?

Juanxia's first reaction was that the Yuan Dynasty had suddenly appeared somewhere, and then a "Chuang King" who had fled far away at the end of the Ming Dynasty and had now returned appeared.

But they immediately realized that in Jianghuai, there really was a person whose style of doing things was full of confiscating property and extorting money.

Li Ye from Ningjiang!

"You mean Li Ye came? And killed the young master of the Wu family and the youngest son of the Shi family?" Hu Anxia asked.

Yes, that's right.

He quickly recounted how they met at the restaurant, how he was caught, and how he was threatened over the phone.

This made Juan frown, seeing his son's eyes growing increasingly dangerous.

This is not good.
He was aware of the reputation of the Second Realm Killer of the Third Realm, and he also knew from rumors that Tian Zhixing had failed to enter the Primordial Beginning Realm and died on the spot.

No one can threaten Li Chuang anymore.

"That plague-ridden fellow, instead of going to the martial arts university for further studies or staying in his own Ningjiang to be a tyrant, he insisted on coming to Yangcheng to wade into trouble!"

Juan cursed, then looked at his son again, sighed, and said, "Son, don't blame me. You'll have to learn your lesson first. If you can't get through it and they keep pressing you, there's nothing I can do."

As he spoke, he flicked his finger and shattered the man's shoulder blade with a single blow. Then, with a few more slaps, he broke all four of the man's limbs. The intense pain caused the man to faint instantly.

A son can be born again, but if you lose yourself, you're truly gone.

In this regard, Hu Anxia is capable of doing such a thing. He is in his prime and has a bright future ahead of him. He cannot ruin his future because of this.

No matter how powerful Li Chuang is, he can deal with one third-realm cultivator, but can he deal with two third-realm cultivators?

Even if he survives, he won't live long. They are not just ordinary people in the third realm; their power is immense. No matter how much protection they receive from above, Li Ye cannot leave here unscathed and will have to pay the price.

He will have to pay the price. If their son dies, and his own son doesn't, then his anger will be directed at them.

We must find a way to protect ourselves!
He had just broken his son's limbs when his phone rang shrilly. When he looked down, he saw a video playing automatically without him even unlocking it.

Upon seeing the video, Juan's eyes widened in disbelief.

That scene depicted Li Ye descending with a smile, grinding the already bound Wu family head and Shi family head into bones and cutting them into pieces, before turning them into ashes with a flick of his sword.

Their actions were so relaxed, it didn't seem like a fight at all, but rather like the easy task of slaughtering pigs and dogs.

The video was short and finished playing quickly, and then a phone call came in.

This number isn't unfamiliar; there's even a note on it.

It was Lu Zhao, the head of the data section, who acted as the hub and kept in touch with them.

Section Chief Lu

Juan took the phone and held it to his ear. "What does this mean?"

"You saw the video?" A faint laugh came from the other end of the phone.

“Yes, I saw it. Director Li lives up to his reputation,” Hu Anxia said cautiously. “Do you want to become like that?” Lu Zhao asked directly.

Hu Anxia pursed his lips and said, "Section Chief Lu, we always follow the disinfection requirements. We're all subordinates, so it's pointless for you to make things difficult for me. I'm even prepared to kill my own son as an apology. I've never offended you before, so there's no need for you to keep harping on me like this, is there?"

With his status, he can't even establish authority.

Currently, there are already two Liwei.

"Mr. Hu, you've misunderstood. Of course, you haven't offended me in any way, but our Director Li is new here and in charge. This fire needs to be put out first. This is just the first one. If you want to turn it into a second fire, I'll report to Director Li and grant your wish. I only ask you, do you want that?"

"Of course I don't want to."

"Don't think about it. There's a saying that a current official is more powerful than a current one. The wind has changed. Director Pan can tolerate you for the sake of the sect, but Director Li can't. Tomorrow at noon, Director Li invites you to his banquet. You'd better make sure you attend."

"Just a meal?" Juan asked.

A light chuckle came from the other end. "Now that you've got the rice bowl, you should know who's feeding you, right?"

Juanxia was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I understand."

"Good that you understand. Then I won't bother you any longer while you're disciplining the child. By the way, killing him is unnecessary; it's too cruel, and Director Li wouldn't like that. Goodbye."

The call ended.

Juan watched as the phone screen gradually returned to normal, his eyes flickering with emotion. Finally, he loosened his grip, the phone fell to the ground, and he shook his head with a wry smile.
"Now they're not even hawks and hounds anymore, they've become echoes of hawks and hounds, and stray dogs scavenging for food gathered together."

Even dogs have their kings, but these guys can't even be the leaders of the beasts; they'll probably just become waving flags and helping out with the work.

Just like the martial artists in Ningjiang under Li Ye's rule, they knew about them, which served as a model for them.

But if you don't go.
The higher-ups can't control him; even if they get angry, that's a matter for later.

If he had refused Li Ye before then, he probably wouldn't have lived to see tomorrow night.

I easily killed all three realms, so killing a few more won't be a problem.

Let's vote.
The other team isn't playing the same game as them, so surrendering isn't shameful.

Just as he had figured it out, the phone that had fallen to the ground rang again.

The caller this time was someone he knew well, also a martial artist at the second realm.

Like him, he also relied on the Wu family's channels to do business.

Juan picked up his phone and answered the call. "Boss Jin."

"Did you receive Section Chief Lu's video?" The voice on the other end spoke very quickly.

"I received it, and I also received a call from Section Chief Lu. What about you?"

"Same. What are your thoughts?"

"What could I possibly be thinking? Stop testing me. Our business conflicts, don't we? If you come to ask me now, you might just end up at my doorstep without thinking, right?" Hu Anxia sneered.

A ruthless person who can immediately think of killing their own son is naturally not stupid. If the other party doesn't ask, they'll let it go, but if they do, they'll make many connections.

Given Li Ye's video and his reputation, most people's first reaction would be to vote first and think later, with absolutely no other thoughts. Anyone who did would not have survived to the present state of Yangcheng.

They're definitely looking for an opportunity to make trouble for him, especially since this guy surnamed Jin is usually quite cunning.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, someone on the other end laughed and said, "Alright, I won't beat around the bush with you, Mr. Hu. I do have that idea, but since you're also planning to become a dog under the King of Chuang, there's something you might be interested in."

"You said."

"If the Wu and Shi families fall, whether the other sects intervene or not is a matter for the future; at worst, we'll all die together. But if we survive, now is the time to seize the initiative."

"The two families that Chuang Wang took down were quite powerful and had a lot of businesses. Instead of fighting with others later, how about striking first? The Wu family doesn't have any powerful figures besides Wu Jianshen, but the Shi family has a few relatives who are quite strong. Let's get a few more families to join forces and swallow them up tonight!"

"By noon tomorrow, the matter will be settled, and it will also relieve the rebel king of some worries!"

The fact that the surname was Jin made Juan somewhat interested.

He instinctively wanted to ask if this was inappropriate, but then he thought of the story of how the rebel leader became famous, and he made up his mind, "No more, five families are enough, any more won't be enough to go around, let's move now!"

He quickly hung up the phone, looked at his unconscious son, and laughed, "Alright, we're still father and son, and you're not going to die, so I'm not worried for now!"

……

Yangcheng was full of prominent figures, mostly second-realm martial artists. That night, they all received a video of Li Ye killing two third-realm martial artists, and Lu Zhao also relayed the message to them.

The entire Jianghuai region also received the relevant videos, but at this time, instead of making phone calls one by one, they simply sent text messages, with a very straightforward meaning.

Li Ye is going to take control of Jianghuai. You should weigh your options carefully: what you should and shouldn't do, whether anyone can control you, and whether you can withstand Li Ye's overwhelming power.

Li Ye was already quite famous in the martial arts circle, and now he was even more famous. None of the martial artists who received the news took it as a joke.

Similarly, the second-realm martial artists in Ningjiang were also 'sent out' to the group.

"Our Director Li is truly amazing!"

Unlike the martial artists in other cities who were either terrified or worried, Bai Rongzu was extremely happy. He watched the video on his phone repeatedly and laughed heartily:
"With Director Li in Ningjiang, we're having a great time!"

He considered himself a close associate of Director Li and wasn't afraid that such a thing would happen to him.

He felt even closer to the disinfection efforts than to those in Ningjiang.

The disinfection was done by the authorities, not him.

He settled down in Ningjiang, becoming a key member of Director Li's support team. As long as Director Li was alive, he wasn't afraid of anyone.

If something really happens, he might as well die, but the honor will definitely go to his son.

Huang Qingyi, a mere member of the Six Dragons Sect, managed to become Huang's chief secretary; his son will surely be even more capable.

"This"

On the other side, Zheng Jun in Jiujin also received the video. After confirming that it was not generated by software but was a real video, he blinked, looked at the bright moon in the night, hesitated for a while, and then dialed the number of Ningjiang Public Security Bureau.

"Hello, is this the Ningjiang Public Security Bureau? My name is Zheng Jun. I was imprisoned there last time. Yes, I was released, but I'm thinking that since my sentence isn't over yet, I want to go back to serve it."

"Yes, I do disinfection part-time, but I still have to serve my full sentence. So, I'll go to jail in my spare time, and you can release me when you're busy. Make sure I get the full three years, thank you!"

After Li Ye released him last time, he obediently worked part-time disinfection in Ningjiang. Sun Shun saw that he was well-behaved and that there were enough people available, so he simply granted him leave and let him go back.

Whether openly or secretly, this matter is left at that, but of course, he still needs to come back to continue working part-time as a disinfection worker.

But at this moment, he not only has to do his job as a disinfection worker, he also has to finish his prison sentence.
He doesn't want any of the outcomes shown in the video!
