820: 819: Annihilation 820: 819: Annihilation Xiao Group, Xiao Long’s office.
When he received news that Tang Feng was unharmed, he erupted in fury.
What was supposed to be a simple matter had been bungled.
Thinking of the terrifying Tang Feng, he began to feel uneasy.
“You brat, get over here!” Xiao Long became even more flustered after receiving a call from the Old Master.
“Grandpa.” Facing the stern elder, Xiao Long didn’t dare utter a sound.
“Xiao Long, how many times have I taught you?
Be composed when facing problems.
Think of the consequences before acting.
You can’t just follow your impulses.
Otherwise, wouldn’t this world descend into chaos?
The traffic accident on Lancheng Road—did you instruct someone to cause it?”
“Yes, Grandpa.” Facing the Old Master of the Xiao Family, he dared not to lie.
“Foolish boy.
Do you think those people who eat the same food as us are fools?
Quite the opposite—they are the nation’s elites.
Sometimes, it’s not that things can’t be investigated but that people choose not to delve into them.
Do you truly understand this Tang Feng?
Have you considered what repercussions such reckless behavior will bring?” The Old Master of the Xiao Family, who had always held high hopes for his grandson, was deeply disappointed today to see his prudence falter over a woman.
The future of the Xiao Family rests on the younger generation.
If they lack composure, they won’t even know who’s scheming against them until it’s too late.
“Grandpa, I was wrong.”
“Knowing you’re wrong is enough.
Don’t worry; Grandpa will take care of this matter himself.
From today onward, stop doing such foolish things.
It’s the most idiotic and useless approach.”
“I understand.”
“Go, arrange to have dinner with Qing Lan.
The fact that she’s your fiancée can’t be changed by anyone.
As for that boy, he won’t succeed.” The Old Master sneered.
“Thank you, Grandpa.” Xiao Long knew that with his grandfather taking charge, the situation was as good as resolved.
Yet, the thought of Ye Qinglan with Tang Feng pained him deeply.
It felt as though his most cherished possession had been defiled.
No, he had to take Ye Qinglan for himself.
She was his, and no one could take her away.
A crazed look appeared in Xiao Long’s eyes.
Tang Feng did not stay at the company after meeting Ye Qinglan.
He returned to the villa and began crafting Spiritual Puppets.
After seeing Ye Qinglan yesterday, his cultivation skyrocketed to the Refining God Realm.
On Earth, this level of prowess was akin to that of an Immortal.
Despite this, he didn’t wish to act personally, so he crafted ten Spiritual Puppets.
Their task was simple:
Exterminate the Xiao Family, leaving no survivors.
After the Spiritual Puppets departed, Tang Feng appeared on the outskirts of Xi City.
He recalled that there might be a Little Cave Heaven here and wondered if it could be opened.
Tang Feng waited the entire afternoon, his Divine Sense constantly trying to communicate with the Grotto Heaven.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t pinpoint the key location.
He reluctantly decided to wait for another opportunity and returned home, where Tian Xiaolei had already prepared a meal for him.
She was the epitome of a virtuous wife—how could there still be people who didn’t cherish a woman like this?
Truly blind as a dog!
“Ah Feng, have you heard?
The Xiao clan has been wiped out.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Yes, completely terrifying.
The entire family was annihilated, not a single soul left.
No one knows who they offended, and there’s not a shred of evidence.
They’ve seemingly vanished into thin air, throwing Xiao Group into chaos.”
“Why didn’t you take the opportunity to gain an advantage?”
“You guessed it right—I did gain something.
I managed to snatch 30% of the shares.
But the bigger winner is the Ye Family.
I didn’t expect their bite to be even deeper and fiercer.” Tian Xiaolei remarked.
“This world is like that—if there’s meat, it’s only natural to eat it.
By the way, how’s your task?” Tang Feng smiled.
“It’s done.
Gave him a million.”
“Then I suppose you can stay over tonight?”
“Mmm, you can bully me as you please.”
Tang Feng laughed heartily at her remark.
At this time, the Xi City General Bureau welcomed a group of mysterious guests sent by higher authorities.
Their identities were exceptional.
The incident with the Xiao Family was far from ordinary and had already alarmed the higher-ups, prompting them to deploy their most covert forces.
Before their arrival, they had already gathered some information, but they came to confirm details.
As for why Tang Feng’s information appeared in a top-tier clearance category, the highest leader could only attribute it to actions taken by their predecessor.
No matter the case, it was best to meet the man in person.
The four members of the Huaxia Divine Team approached Tang Feng’s villa.
Just as they were about to hide, a gentle breeze swept past, and in the next moment, they all lost consciousness.
In the living room, Tang Feng had just finished eating dinner when the Spiritual Puppets appeared carrying four people.
“Master, we discovered four individuals and subdued them.”
“You may withdraw.”
Tang Feng gestured with a finger, and the four individuals quickly regained consciousness.
Upon seeing Tang Feng, the four involuntarily gasped.
Despite being Innate Masters, they felt as insignificant as ants before Tang Feng.
How powerful was this man?
Was he from the legendary Immortal Realm?
Though greatly shocked, the four showed no fear.
As members of the Divine Team, they were always prepared to sacrifice themselves for the nation.
“Have a seat.
Next time, use the front door—I keep it wide open.” Tang Feng instructed Tian Xiaolei to brew tea.
Tian Xiaolei could tell these individuals were extraordinary but asked no questions.
After brewing the tea, she left the villa and returned to her home.
This was the wisdom of a smart woman.
“Speak.
Why have you come to my home?”
“Senior, we were sent by higher authorities to investigate the Xiao Family incident.”
“Indeed, the Xiao Family affair is my handiwork.”
Uh!
The four members of the Divine Team froze, unable to fathom Tang Feng’s directness.
“So, what do you plan to do about it?”
“Since it was done by Senior, we will simply report back to our superiors.”
“Good.
Bring this gift to the highest leader for me.” Tang Feng tossed a small porcelain vial.
One of them caught it and, after bowing respectfully, left.
When they exited the villa, they noticed their backs were drenched in sweat.
Too strong.
Exceeding the Innate Realm, only the leader of the Divine Team could compare.
After they departed, Tian Xiaolei returned to the villa.
“Did they leave?”
“Yeah, they’re gone.
Don’t worry—nothing will happen as long as I’m here.” Tang Feng knew Tian Xiaolei likely guessed their identities.
After all, she was a chairwoman of a corporation.
She understood certain secrets.
But she could never have imagined the full extent of this man’s strength.
That night, she was unusually passionate, fearing what might come the day Tang Feng vanished from her life.
Little did she know, her body had been undergoing changes these past few days.
Truthfully, her current strength wasn’t far from an Innate Master’s.
With the guidance of a cultivation technique, she could easily break through.
Tang Feng planned to pass her the technique and give her the Spiritual Puppets only when he was ready to leave.
Taking her with him wasn’t something he had considered.
The next day, news of the Xiao Family’s destruction spread among various prominent families in Xi City.
Through certain channels, they also learned of Tang Feng’s existence.
Commands were issued within the families forbidding any provocation of Tang Feng.
Mr.
Ye decided to meet Tang Feng, and the one tasked with inviting him was Ye Qinglan.
Ye Qinglan couldn’t believe it—a major clan had truly been annihilated, and there was no fallout.
Who exactly was this man?
Wiping out a family like that without consequence—such power was unfathomable.
She personally went to a team, “Where is Tang Feng?”
“He went out with Sister Zhang to meet a client.”
“Let him come to my office when he returns.”
“Understood, President.”
Ye Qinglan felt a touch of loss when she didn’t see Tang Feng.
Over the past two days, this man had stirred her emotions into a whirlwind.
Just thinking about certain images made her heart race uncontrollably.
She clearly resisted, yet couldn’t help but savor the memories.
Was this what it meant to fall for someone?
