Chapter 1909: Playing by the Rules!
Xiao Zheng stayed inside Long Qie’s office for a long time.
Except for the two parties involved, no third person knew the content of their conversation.
However, when Long Qie walked out of the office, everyone at headquarters could sense a strong aura of murder emanating from him. Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and it was obvious that something big was about to happen.
Sure enough, Long Qie soon issued an order to mobilize a squad to accompany him out.
Ten minutes later.
Long Qie led this squad, brimming with murderous intent, away from headquarters.
Because Yu Bai had visited him and told him the address of his residence in Zhonghai City, this was his own doing. He didn’t teach his son well, and eventually got dragged down by him.
Long Qie and his team’s speed was swift; half an hour later, they appeared in a villa district.
When the imposing convoy slowly stopped in front of a villa built by a mountain and beside a lake, a murderous aura instantly enveloped this small world.
Long Qie got out of the car, his gaze falling on the villa in front of him.
The villa was draped with white cloths, and a mourning hall was erected in the courtyard.
Yu Bai and his family weren’t slow either; by the time they brought back Yu Shaoning’s body, they had already set up the mourning hall. Everyone looked gloomy, wearing armbands on their sleeves.
"Has someone arrived?"
"What a grand display, they came with an entire convoy!"
"The person leading them seems to be the Prairie King, Long Qie! When I went to pay respects to the Family Head at Sky Net headquarters in the morning, I saw him once!"
"Didn’t expect even the Prairie King to come to pay respects to our young master; our family truly has prestige!"
"Isn’t that obvious? We are the Jiangbei Yu Family! No matter where we go, that is a renowned name! Who dares to disrespect the Yu Family?"
"You’re right, I’ll go report to the Family Head first..."
The crowd joked and discussed among themselves, feeling secretly proud of Long Qie’s arrival.
At this moment, many had come to mourn Yu Shaoning.
Apart from some local small powers wanting to curry favor with the Yu family, many more guests were from external forces. They had the same goal as the Yu family, wanting to grab a piece of the pie in the southern provinces.
Seeing Long Qie’s appearance, the leaders of these forces felt a tinge of unease in their hearts.
"Damn! Why is the Prairie King here to pay respects to the Yu family’s young master?"
"Since when did the Yu family get so chummy with Sky Net? This isn’t good news; if Sky Net helps the Yu family, we might end up with nothing!"
"Yu Bai, that old fox, sure is lucky! His son died this morning, and by afternoon the Prairie King came to pay respects, giving him face!"
"Looks like after this, when I return, I have to prepare a big gift and pay a visit to Sky Net headquarters..."
The leaders of the big forces found their feelings indescribably complicated at this moment.
Long Qie’s arrival caught everyone off guard.
Even Yu Bai, who was busy entertaining guests, received the news. Upon learning that Long Qie was coming, his feelings became very mixed. Just like the guests outside, he hadn’t expected Long Qie to show up.
"Let’s go out to greet the Prairie King first."
Yu Bai wiped away his tears and spoke to the middle-aged beautiful woman beside him.
Although their son was dead and they were very sad, the customs and etiquette could not be neglected, especially since Long Qie was a distinguished guest. It was only right for the couple to go out to welcome him personally.
When Yu Bai and the middle-aged beautiful woman stepped out of the villa, indeed, they saw Long Qie standing outside the courtyard.
They hurried over.
Despite suppressing his grief, Yu Bai sighed and said, "Thank you, Prairie King, for coming personally to mourn my son. If it were not for our overwhelming sadness today, we would definitely share a drink with you."
"There’s no need for drinks; I’m not here to mourn your son anyway," Long Qie said coldly.
His tone was icy, vaguely revealing a hint of murderous intent.
Everyone present wasn’t ordinary; naturally, they could sense this hint of menace. Instantly, everyone’s hearts jolted with awareness that Long Qie’s visit was not as simple as they imagined...
Yu Bai was also shocked and couldn’t help but frown as he asked, "If the Prairie King is not here to mourn my son, excuse my ignorance, may I ask what is the purpose of your visit to me?"
"I came to settle scores with you!" Long Qie sneered and said, "Yu Family Master, your son is quite daring. He actually dared to flirt with the Evil God’s woman."
"Don’t think that just because your son is dead now, his mistakes can be written off!"
What!
The words from Long Qie made everyone present gasp in surprise!
Especially Yu Bai and the middle-aged beautiful woman, their minds went completely blank!
After a long moment, Yu Bai finally regained his composure, and despite his anger, he asked, "Prairie King, don’t throw baseless accusations around here! My son is already dead, and I absolutely do not allow you to defame him in front of his shrine!"
"Although Sky Net is powerful, the Jiangbei Yu Family is not to be trifled with either!"
"Jiangbei Yu Family? Your Jiangbei Yu Family is nothing!" Long Qie said disdainfully, "Honestly, your son died at the hands of the Evil God!"
Upon hearing this, although the crowd had some guesses, they still couldn’t help but be shocked.
The onlooking people then all turned to look at Yu Bai, with a hint of schadenfreude in their expressions.
Yet more than that, they were filled with admiration because, after all, Yu Shaoning was somebody who courted someone as terrifying as the Evil God!
Now, Xiao Zheng is vaguely on the path to becoming the unrivaled in Huaxia Martial Arts World, and the Jiangbei Yu Family provoking him was like courting death with no chance of survival!
Everyone knew that the Jiangbei Yu Family was bound to suffer today!
Feeling Long Qie’s murderous aura, Yu Bai’s heart sank, but at the same time, he steeled his resolve in rage: "All Yu Family masters listen! Slay every single one of the Sky Net members here! Leave no one alive!"
"I will use their heads as offerings to my son!"
With his command, the death soldiers of the Yu Family immediately sprang into action.
Long Qie watched, showing disdain.
As for the masters he brought along, they were eager to fight, just waiting for Long Qie’s command to strike.
"Go."
"Kill them all."
Long Qie snapped his fingers lightly, and everyone rushed out.
Long Qie, too, was filled with a killing intent, using his Gang Qi to transform into a giant axe, sneered coldly, and then charged straight at Yu Bai. Many Yu Family death soldiers tried to block him along the way, but all became victims under his axe!
