My husband Can Cultivate

Chapter 397 397: Kang City, Do Not Go!

"I wonder how Lord Lei is doing?" Yang Qi thought, looking toward Thunder City. He was sure that after this, the Thunder Sect would go completely insane. They would never rest until the matter was thoroughly resolved.

However, Yang Qi didn't want to risk any more. He planned to make a trip to Thunder City himself to prevent the people of Kang City from being harmed again. He would just annihilate the Thunder Sect, and that would be that.

"City Lord Zhao, I'll trouble you to handle this," Yang Qi said, turning to Zhao Xiong.

"Don't worry, I'll clean everything up. It's just a pity that today's engagement ceremony was disrupted," Zhao Xiong sighed.

"Disrupted? Not at all. We just need to tidy up and it will be clean again. Besides, red represents celebration. Surviving a great disaster is a sign of future blessings. Wang He, congratulations!" Yang Qi said with a cupped-fist salute. "What do you think of my gift today?"

"Words cannot express my gratitude for this great kindness!" Wang He knelt on the ground.

It is said that a man's knees are precious, but if it weren't for Yang Qi today, his wife could have been dishonored and he might have died. He dared not even imagine such a terrifying outcome. Thus, the gift Yang Qi had given him was immeasurably great.

"Alright, those who are injured, hurry to the hospital. The rest of you, let the feast begin!" Yang Qi announced loudly.

The previously subdued Tian Nan Martial Arts Hall became lively once more, as if everyone had already forgotten what had just transpired.

Yang Qi also drank a lot. He was happy.

This time, the Thunder Sect had arrived with great fanfare, sending their Young Master to lead their experts. In the end, only the Power General remained, half-dead. The rest were all dead. The Power General probably didn't have long to live, either. He was the one survivor Yang Qi had purposely left behind.

It was a warning to the Thunder Sect, telling them that although Kang City might be small, it wasn't a place just anyone could come and bully as they pleased.

Although the engagement ceremony had a rough start, it ended up being very lively.

After it concluded, Yang Qi gathered with the Wolf King, Zhao Xiong, and the others.

"Mr. Yang, now that Cao Geng has been killed, Cao Shaqing will surely go mad," Wang Nantian advised. "The Demon General and Fire General by his side are the two most terrifying of the six great generals. We might not be able to handle them. You must be careful. If things go wrong, you should consider going abroad to hide. There's no shame in that!"

"Hide?" Yang Qi laughed. "If it really becomes necessary, I wouldn't be opposed. But for now, it's not needed. And don't worry. This time, I absolutely will not let them harm any of you. I will make another trip to Thunder City to have a final reckoning with the Thunder Sect!"

Everyone was startled for a moment. They wanted to persuade him otherwise, but then they recalled Yang Qi's previous performance and said no more. Yang Qi always seemed to bring surprises, whether it was with his Medical Skills, Alchemy, or terrifying combat power.

「One day later.」

「Thunder Sect.」

Cao Shaqing was sipping tea. It was a freshly picked new tea. This man was very particular, even meticulously timing how long to steep the leaves.

The Demon General stood by, vigilantly watching their surroundings.

Just then, the Fire General came rushing in from outside, his face a terrible sight.

CRACK!

The teacup on the table shattered without any warning.

Cao Shaqing was taken aback. This had never happened before. The teacups he used were of the finest quality; it shouldn't have been possible. But why?

"Foster father, something terrible has happened!" the Fire General stood there, his face ashen.

Cao Shaqing's body shuddered as a spasm shot through his heart. He had a strong, ominous premonition.

The Demon General looked at the Fire General, surprised. The Fire General was always composed; otherwise, Lord Lei wouldn't have put him in charge of managing the Sect. But today, he was clearly in a state.

"What happened?" Cao Shaqing tried his best to remain calm. Don't think about terrible things. But the thoughts just won't go away.

The Fire General sighed. "Foster father, please come with me!"

He simply couldn't bring himself to say the words. It felt as if he had ground his teeth to dust, his mouth filling with the taste of blood.

BOOM!

At that moment, Cao Shaqing felt as if he'd been struck by lightning. Seeing the Fire General's reaction, he grew even more certain that his premonition was correct. He rushed out like a madman, arriving at the gates of the Thunder Sect.

A large crowd had gathered outside. At the entrance lay more than a hundred bodies, each wrapped in white cloth.

The Power General was leaning against the gate, barely hanging on to life. It seemed he was determined to speak his last words before dying.

Upon seeing Lord Lei, the Power General finally managed to shout, "Don't go to Kang City!"

PFFT!

Having said this, the Power General died. Blood sprayed across the ground as he fell heavily. The only survivor, with his dying breath, had actually told Lord Lei not to go to Kang City?

"Li!" the Fire General rushed over, trying to wake the Power General, but it was no use.

At that moment, Cao Shaqing's entire body was trembling. He didn't dare look at the corpses.

"Foster father, maybe it's better not to look. You have to hold on," the Fire General warned.

"Uncover them!" Cao Shaqing said through gritted teeth.

An icy aura seemed to plunge the surroundings into the depths of winter. The onlookers all felt a terrifying chill. It was horrifying. Lord Lei was furious!

The Fire General sighed and pulled back the white cloths.

The instant he saw the body of his son, Cao Geng, Cao Shaqing nearly collapsed. He was devastated. The son he had raised for decades had been reduced to a corpse.

For a moment, Cao Shaqing felt life was meaningless. But in the next instant, an even more terrifying murderous intent erupted from within him. He felt a sudden, overwhelming urge to kill.

Grief!

Murderous intent!

Anger!

Despair!

A storm of complex emotions tangled in his mind. In that moment, he didn't even know what he was feeling.

The Demon General was more direct. "Who?! Who did this?! I will turn Kang City into ruins!" he roared. He wished he could leave for Kang City immediately.

Cao Shaqing gradually calmed himself, but the murderous intent and grief refused to dissipate. He could never have imagined that his son, three of his great generals, and a hundred experts would all be annihilated!

That was his only son! His heir! He had poured all his love and hope into him. And now, Cao Geng was dead. This was the tragedy of a white-haired man burying his black-haired son.

"The blood of my Thunder Sect will not be shed in vain!" Cao Shaqing finally let out a low, guttural roar.

Everyone knew something big was about to happen. The martial artists of Kang City were doomed. Having provoked Lord Lei, Kang City truly might be turned into a wasteland. None of those martial artists would likely survive.

"Foster father, let me go to Kang City! No matter who it is, I will slaughter them!" the Demon General bellowed, enshrouded in black qi and furious to the extreme.

"Foster father, before the Power General died, he warned us not to go to Kang City! He knew the Demon General's combat power, and he knew yours as well. For him to still issue that warning means there must be an incredibly strong existence in Kang City," the Fire General reminded him.

"Lei Huo, are you afraid? You coward!" the Demon General roared.

"Bullshit! Am I afraid? When have I ever been afraid?" the Fire General retorted angrily. "But we can't die in vain. We must first understand why the Power General said that. I know this is hard on everyone, but acting recklessly is just too dangerous."
