It was no wonder why the old man was so angry. Although they were powerful people, Cang City was not their home ground.
However, no matter what, they were the subordinates of a grandmaster. They were usually the ones bullying others. When had they ever suffered such humiliation?
The old man narrowed his eyes. The aura around him surged continuously as if it was about to erupt in the next moment.
Looking at the extremely miserable burly man, he could not help but ask in a deep voice, “Didn’t I ask you to monitor the Su family? How did you end up in such a state? Why didn’t Second Elder Tian come back with you?”
Only then did the burly man, who was covered in injuries, feel a sense of security. He sat on the ground, panting heavily.
When the old man saw this, he walked to the side and picked up a bottle of mineral water. He unscrewed the cap and handed it to the burly man sitting on the ground.
The burly man took the bottle of water and gulped it down in a few gulps without caring about anything else.
After a while, he told the old man everything that had happened.
Pa!
The old man was also extremely furious. He could no longer suppress his aura. In an instant, he burst out and slammed his palm on the table.
The table made of solid wood instantly shattered under his palm.
The old man enunciated every word clearly and said through gritted teeth, “Do you know who that person is?”
However, the burly man shook his head. He was already lucky to be able to stay alive. How could he care about who the other party was?
The old man suppressed his anger and asked again, “Do you still remember what that person looked like?”
This time, the burly man nodded. It was impossible for him to forget that person’s appearance. After all, that person was too savage.
However, the moment he recalled the other party’s appearance, the burly man could not help but shiver.
“Ah Lai, take him down there and get him to draw the man’s portrait.”
The old man turned around and instructed the Rank-3 martial artist beside him.
Then, the old man clenched his fist and muttered to himself with a ferocious expression, “No matter who you are, since you dare to provoke the Martial Wind Bureau, you should be prepared to die.”
“Not only will you die, but your entire family will also be buried with you for your foolish actions!”
“Oh? Are you looking for me?”
Just as the old man was talking to himself, the warrior called Ah Lai prepared to bring the burly man down.
A golden light suddenly flashed across the burly man’s body. Then, the golden light transformed into a human figure in the sky.
When the burly man saw the figure formed by the golden light, he fell to the ground in shock.
He shouted hysterically as he pointed at the figure with trembling fingers, “It’s him! He’s the one who captured us. He killed Second Brother Tian!”
The figure formed by the golden light was Wang Yi.
The moment he threw the burly man out of the window, Wang Yi attached a wisp of his spiritual power to him.
Wang Yi’s goal was also very simple. He wanted to directly cut off all of Zhao Tianlin’s minions in Cang City and force him to come to Cang City earlier than planned.
The earlier he beat Zhao Tianlin to death, the earlier the problem the Su family faced would be resolved. He would also be able to sign in with peace of mind and continuously increase his strength.
When the old man saw the golden light transform into a human figure, his heart skipped a beat. He knew that something bad had happened.
He could naturally tell that the golden figure was actually formed from a wave of spiritual energy.
As for what spiritual energy represented, it was obvious.
It represented a grandmaster!
The person in front of him was actually the spiritual energy incarnation of a grandmaster!
The old man complained incessantly in his heart. He glared at the burly man on the ground and couldn’t help but curse.
He merely sent the other party to monitor the Su family. How did he provoke a grandmaster?
This was troublesome.
Although the old man felt puzzled and worried at this moment, his expression did not change.
He bowed slightly and said respectfully, “Greetings, Lord Grandmaster!”
“I was too rude just now. It was all a misunderstanding! I don’t know how this person provoked you, but if you want to beat him up or punish him, it’s up to you.”
However, Wang Yi merely smiled. When he saw the old man, he asked, “How do you know that the person who provoked me wasn’t you?”
A layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on the old man’s back. He laughed dryly and said, “Senior, you must be joking. I am a subordinate of Grandmaster Zhao Tianlin from Langya City. However, I just arrived in Cang City a few days ago.”
“After that, I never went out. How could I offend you, Senior!”
The old man was smart. His words were soft yet firm. He lowered his status and told Wang Yi his identity and background.
If the person who came today was an ordinary Grandmaster-Realm expert, perhaps he would really give Zhao Tianlin some face and not make things difficult for these people.
However, it was a pity that the person who came today was Wang Yi. Furthermore, Wang Yi had specially come for them.
“Oh? Grandmaster Zhao Tianlin? What a coincidence!”
Wang Yi said with a smile, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.
Upon seeing Wang Yi’s reaction, the old man thought that his words were effective and relaxed. He bowed again and asked, “Sir, do you have a long relationship with Grandmaster Zhao?”
“That’s right! Zhao Tianlin and I do have quite a ‘relationship.’ I came here today to borrow something from everyone!”
Wang Yi was talking to himself and did not look at the people in the room. His eyes seemed unfocused as he stared straight ahead.
As Wang Yi finished his sentence, the old man’s face lit up. He did not expect such a huge turn of events.
The Lord Grandmaster in front of him had an old relationship with his Lord.
With this, they would be able to negotiate. Furthermore, they wouldn’t have to worry about their safety anymore.
Upon thinking of this, the old man hurriedly bowed once more and said, “May I know what Lord requires? So long as we have it, we’ll surely offer it to the Lord!”
Everyone present bowed and echoed, “We will definitely offer it to the Lord!”
The smile on Wang Yi’s face became even more playful as he faintly said, “What I want is very simple. You guys definitely have it.”
“I want to borrow your lives. What do you think?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the old man felt a wave of fear, as if he was targeted by a vicious prehistoric beast.
He couldn’t help but shiver as cold sweat drenched his back.
“Run!”
Almost without hesitation, the old man roared, turned, and fled, dashing like lightning toward the window.
The others were also jolted awake, and they instantly scattered like birds and beasts as they fled.
Looking at the panicked crowd, Wang Yi could not help but sneer.
Run?
Could they escape?
In an instant, a strong wave of spiritual energy instantly swept across the entire room, with Wang Yi’s spiritual energy incarnation as the center.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of heavy objects falling could be heard in the room.
The fleeing crowd seemed to have been frozen in place.
Then, they fell to the ground one by one without a single trace of life left in them.
No one managed to escape from this room, including that peak Rank-6 old man.
The entire room fell silent. Other than the burly man that Wang Yi had released, everyone else had turned into corpses.
