I'm Just Making Up The Exercises, My Disciple, Have You Really Mastered Them?

Chapter 44: Let's See Who Dares to Raid My Home! (Seeking to Continue Reading)

Xu Junhe remained silent, but sighed inwardly. After experiencing such a great calamity, if it were his foolish son who managed to escape and hide in Wu Country, he would probably be even more obsessed with finding a reclusive expert.

Only by finding a reclusive expert and learning the legendary powerful Martial Dao could he seek revenge.

He knew his son too well.

"Old Pan, you should leave tonight. Chen, the leader of the escorts, and the others may do their best when facing the Tianmu Sect, but when it comes to the government, they won't go all the way with the Xu family," Xu Junhe pondered.

"Understood!" Old Pan nodded and left.

"Husband, will the people from the Tianmu Sect come tonight?" Mrs. Xu asked after a moment of silence.

"Probably," Xu Junhe nodded.

He looked out the window with a heavy heart.

Outside the Xu family mansion, in a restaurant across the street, sat a dozen or so people, all dressed in coarse linen clothes. The leader held a goose feather fan and stood by the window, gazing at the Xu mansion.

"Strategist Kou, aren't we going to take action?" a burly man asked in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, the Xu family will perish tonight. The East River County magistrate thinks he can catch the Xu family while dealing with the Tianmu Sect, but it's a joke," Kou replied confidently.

"I have already made all the arrangements. Once he makes his move, the East River County will also need a new leader. We will take control of the county starting tonight!" Kou Ruozhi's face was filled with a sense of victory.

"The Qi Emperor is incompetent, and the court is filled with a bunch of useless people who have been eating free meals. The Tianmu Sect, following the will of heaven, will start with the East River County and show the Qi Emperor what true talent in governing a country looks like!" Kou Ruozhi's eyes were cold, filled with anger towards the Qi Emperor and the Qi court.

The burly man nodded repeatedly, expressing his dissatisfaction. "Strategist Kou, you were once a top martial artist and had unparalleled literary talent and strategy. Yet, you failed the imperial examinations three times. The Qi court is truly incompetent and blind."

The others also nodded. Kou Ruozhi was the Tianmu Sect's strategist, talented and full of wisdom, but he had failed the imperial examinations three times. The Qi Emperor was incompetent, and everyone in the court was blind.

That's fine. Since Kou Ruozhi joined the Tianmu Sect, he had been making steady progress. Now, with this final step, they could seize the East River County and start a rebellion!

With Kou Ruozhi's strategic planning, this rebellion was bound to succeed!

Clatter, clatter...

The sound of horse hooves and footsteps broke the silence of the street. They grew louder as they approached the Xu family mansion.

"They're here!" Kou Ruozhi's expression brightened. "Act according to the original plan. We will rescue Xu Junhe and his wife while they are being escorted to the prison."

"As long as Xu Junhe joins our sect, the Tianmu Sect will have business in both Qi and Wu countries. Becoming as wealthy as a nation is not a dream."

"But will Xu Junhe agree?" the burly man asked in doubt.

"He will," Kou Ruozhi said confidently. "He will consider it not only for himself but also for his foolish son."

Boom!

The gates of the Xu family mansion were kicked open.

The East River County magistrate led his soldiers into the mansion, causing chaos. Chen, the leader of the escorts, and Wang, the head of the Wang family, were all taken aback. These were not cultists from the Tianmu Sect, but government soldiers?

In an instant, their expressions changed, and they silently retreated to the side. If the situation turned unfavorable, they would immediately escape.

"Xu Junhe colluded with the Tianmu Sect, committing heinous crimes. I hereby order the search and seizure of the Xu family. Arrest Xu Junhe and his wife!" The East River County magistrate's gaze was cold as he looked at the guards and Chen, his voice stern. "Those who are not involved, surrender your weapons, let us search you and verify your identities, and then you may leave."

The guards all put down their weapons.

Chen Biaotou and the others were the same.

This is the government, not the cult of Tianmu Jiao. To take action against them is like treason, a grave crime that warrants the execution of the entire family.

Xu Junhe supported Xu Furen as they walked out, calmly looking at the County Magistrate of East River. Not long ago, they were drinking and having a good time, but now they were being mercilessly attacked.

This is the cruelty of the struggle for the crown prince.

"Colluding with Tianmu Jiao? Why would they do that?" Xu Junhe looked at the County Magistrate and sighed.

Colluding with Tianmu Jiao is a heinous crime that aims to exterminate the Xu family and the entire family of his father-in-law.

The County Magistrate of East River had a cold and indifferent expression, saying, "This government is responsible for investigating the Xu family's collusion with Tianmu Jiao. When it reaches the Ministry of Justice, there will naturally be a fair judgment."

Xu Junhe remained silent.

Not convicting him of colluding with Tianmu Jiao was probably to make him carefully consider whether he really did collude with them. Once he colluded, there would be no turning back.

This is a grave crime that warrants the execution of the entire family.

If he were convicted of other charges, he might be exiled instead of executed.

All of this is beyond his control as a mere merchant. Only his father-in-law in the capital can determine whether there is any room for maneuver in this matter.

"Take them away!"

The County Magistrate of East River waved his hand, and two officials with handcuffs approached to detain Xu Junhe and his wife. A group of officials swarmed out, preparing to search the Xu family.

The richest man in East River County, who possessed a huge fortune, was envied by everyone.

Now, this behemoth was about to fall, and countless hungry wolves would surely swarm in to feast on its remains.

Suddenly, a roar erupted like thunder.

"Who dares to search my house!"

Xu Furen's face changed drastically as she exclaimed, "Yan'er!"

Her face instantly turned pale. Why did he come back at this time?

Boom!

At this moment, two crimson dragons, carrying terrifying fiery power, swooped down from the sky, sweeping away the officials who were about to search the Xu family.

In an instant, all the officials were sent flying and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

The officials who were ready to apprehend Xu Junhe and his wife with handcuffs were entangled and lifted into the air by one of the dragons. They exploded in mid-air, releasing a scorching heat that was like terrifying flames.

The two officials turned into charred corpses and fell on top of the other officials.

A young man, surrounded by blazing aura, descended from the sky and landed in front of Xu Junhe and his wife.

Silence!

The County Magistrate of East River was trembling all over, his face showing a look of shock.

The officials were all lying on the ground, trembling in fear.

The Xu family's guards opened their mouths wide and stared with wide eyes at the young man descending from the sky, completely dumbfounded.

Chen Biaotou kept swallowing saliva, sweat dripping from his forehead, his eyes wide open, his mind blank.

Xu Yan?

Xu Junhe's foolish son?

How is this possible!

The most shocked were Xu Junhe and his wife. Seeing Xu Yan descending from the sky, especially the two terrifying dragons sweeping away the officials, it was an inhuman power.

Their own son had been seeking out reclusive experts all along, wanting to cultivate the legendary and immensely powerful Martial Dao.

Now, could it be that he had truly succeeded in his cultivation?

At this moment, Xu Yan's face was full of anger. He had held back just now; otherwise, those officials would have been killed with a single blow, their bodies flying everywhere.

This is the Xu family. With his mother in front, if he dirtied the Xu family, it wouldn't be good for his mother. That's why he showed mercy.

Only the two officials with handcuffs were wrapped in his Dragon Subduing Palm and killed in mid-air, their bodies burned to charcoal by the intense blood and heat.
