  However, it was like scratching an itch. The light shield did not even tremble.

  “It’s not doing much, Young Master!”

  “You don’t say. What’s the use if you throw just one? Do it like this. Throw five or six at once.”

  Liu Yulong grabbed six paper talismans and threw them.

  The talismans started to burn one after another, exploding into fireballs and smashing onto the light shield. It was a spectacular sight.

  However, the light shield remained unscathed.

  Liu Yulong was stunned.

  What kind of defensive light shield was this? It was so powerful that six talismans did not even scratch it!

  “I don’t believe that I can’t bring it down! Throw! Continue to throw, throw with all your might!” Liu Yulong said angrily.

  He threw out talismans one after another as if they were free.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  The talismans exploded like fireworks. It was a spectacular sight.

  Meanwhile, the commotion attracted the attention of the mansion’s security guards, but they were knocked out by the middle-aged man.

  Three minutes passed…

  Five minutes…

  The light shield stood strong.

  At first, Liu Yulong was full of confidence. He thought that if he persisted with his assault, the light shield would eventually fall apart. As time went on, he began to waver. Then, cold sweat began to fall.

  ‘How could this tortoise shell be so tough?

  ‘This is impossible! I’ve never even heard of such a powerful defensive light shield!’

  Presumably, it must have been an extremely powerful treasure in Mao Mountain. How could it fall into the hands of Tang Hao? Could he have guessed wrongly, that Tang Hao was not some insignificant character?

  “I don’t believe it!”

  Liu Yulong was furious. He grabbed the remaining talismans and threw them all out.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  The resulting explosion illuminated the night sky.

  Finally, the light shield trembled.

  Liu Yulong was overjoyed when he saw that. ‘Finally, some progress!’ He thought.

  However, his expression soon changed.

  As the light shield trembled, beams of light suddenly shot into the sky around the mansion.

  Counting carefully, there were exactly thirty-six beams. Each beam was as thick as a wrist and scattered all around, forming the shape of a heavenly constellation.

  In an instant, the light screen became much thicker.

  Liu Yulong almost vomited blood.

  After all their effort, not only did the tortoise shell not break, but it became even harder. How was he supposed to carry out his plan?

  “What the hell is that thing?”

  He pulled at his hair. He was about to lose his mind.

  The middle-aged man seemed to have noticed something. He stood there in a daze, his face full of shock.

  “Impossible! This is impossible!” He muttered with a dazed expression. His face was already pale.

  “What’s impossible?” Liu Yulong said impatiently.

  “Young… Young master, quickly… quickly leave!” The middle-aged man said anxiously.

  “What’s wrong?”

  Liu Yulong frowned and said. He looked at the light shield and said, “This tortoise shell is indeed powerful, but there’s nothing to be frightened of!”

  Then, he grinned and threw a fireball toward the light shield.

  The fireball was extinguished in a puff, but the light shield did not move at all.

  However, the attack seemed to have triggered something. Suddenly, a ray of light shot out from the mansion toward him.

  It was a jade talisman!

  “Careful, Young Master!” The middle-aged man pounced and blocked the attack.

  The talisman exploded, sending both of them flying.

  They were cultivators in the early period of the State of Qi Channeling, and they were not able to withstand the attack.

  The middle-aged man’s entire body was charred black, and he was on the verge of death. Liu Yulong was slightly better, but his face was deathly pale. He had sustained serious injuries.

  “Uncle Mao!”

  “Young Master, this… this is an Artifact formation! You’d better leave! Go home! That Tang Hao… isn’t ordinary!”

  “Artifact formation?”

  Liu Yulong’s entire body trembled. His face was frozen in fear.

  He had heard of Artifact formations, but he had never seen one before. In the modern era, Artifact formations were extremely precious things, like medicinal pills.

  How could Tang Hao possess an Artifact formation?

  In an instant, a chill rose from the bottom of his heart and spread through his entire body.

  He had guessed wrong. That Tang Hao was definitely an extremely important figure in Mao Mountain!

  The middle-aged man had already died.

  He quickly got to his feet, picked up the middle-aged man’s body, and fled. He then boarded the plane and returned to the Capital.

  When Tang Hao drove into Celestial Foothill Gardens, he passed by a firetruck.

  He also saw a police car. A security guard was talking to the police while rubbing the back of his head. “Yes, there are two people. I saw them from afar. They are setting a fire over there!

  “It’s strange though. I clearly saw the flames, but nothing was on fire.”

  Tang Hao drove over and stopped in front of his mansion.

  As soon as he got out of the car, the front door of the mansion opened, and a beautiful figure ran out and threw herself into his arms.

  “Lil Tang!” She called out and hugged him tightly.

  “Everything’s fine now!” Tang Hao patted her back and said gently.

  “Mm!” She answered softly.

  After a moment, she lifted her head and said curiously, “What did you put in the house, Lil Tang? It’s so powerful! Those two guys smashed at it for a long time, but it didn’t budge at all.

  “At first, I was quite scared, but I became happier as I watched.”

  As she said that, she pursed her lips and smiled.

  After comforting her, Tang Hao walked to the front of the mansion and looked around.

  The intruders were actually cultivators. That was indeed beyond his expectations. He thought that they were mundane people.

  Only a cultivator could trigger the defensive formation and activate the light shield. A mundane person would not have triggered the formation.

  Then, he looked closely and saw that one of the jade talismans was missing.

  That was another trap that Tang Hao had set up. When the defensive formation was fully activated, any attack on it would result in a counterattack.

  “Who could it be?”

  Tang Hao frowned, and his expression was extremely cold.

  No matter who it was, whoever dared to attack Qin Xiangyi deserved to die.

  There was only one person he could think of, and that person was Liu Yulong, the young master of the Liu family whom he had never met before.

  After all, he was the only one who had a grudge with him recently!

  “The Liu family… could it be a family of cultivators? Or perhaps, he hired someone?”

  There were many families of cultivators in Huaxia. The Wang family was one of them, and as far as he knew, that was the largest family. They were as numerous as the Mao Mountain Taoist masters.

  However, they had been eliminated.

  There were many others, such as the Mu family.

  The ancestors of those families had inherited cultivation techniques, and they were passed down through the generations.

  Some of the people in the Agency came from those families, such as Mu Xintong.

  Tang Hao thought for a moment and walked into the house. He show
ed Qin Xiangyi Liu Yulong’s photo.

  “Yes, that’s him! I saw his face clearly!” Qin Xiangyi said with certainty.

  “So it’s really him!” Tang Hao narrowed his eyes, which was brimming with killing intent.

  Not only had Liu Yulong hired someone to snoop on him, but he also dared to lay his hands on Qin Xiangyi. Liu Yulong really deserved to die!

  “Liu Yulong? From the Liu family? Lil Tang, why did you make enemies with them?” Qin Xiangyi said in surprise.

  “It’s nothing. Don’t worry. I’ll settle this matter as soon as I can!” Tang Hao said.

  As he spoke, he took a step forward and gently hugged her.

  “You don’t blame me, right?” Tang Hao felt a little guilty.

  Qin Xiangyi shook her head. “Why would I! Instead, I feel like I’ve let you down. You’re so powerful, but as for me, I don’t know anything…”

  After a moment of intimacy, Tang Hao said, “Alright, go wash up. Sleep early today. I’ll leave after you’re asleep!”

  “OK!”

  She washed up, changed into her pajamas, and lay on the bed.

  “Sleep well! Good night!”

  Tang Hao kissed her, turned off the lights, and walked out of the room.

  A moment ago, he was still smiling, but in the next moment, his expression turned frosty.

  “Hey, Taoist master, I want to ask you something. Do you know the Liu family? I’m just asking. OK, got it!

  “Old Master Luo, I’m sorry to trouble you again. Can you check the airlines for flight information? Sure, help me check the name Liu Yulong and see if he has booked a flight. Pay attention to the flights to the Capital.”

  After a while, Old Master Luo called back.

  “There’s no record under his name!”

  “None?”

  Tang Hao was startled.

  Logically speaking, after witnessing the power of the defensive formation, Liu Yulong should be in a hurry to escape. After all, Province Z was Tang Hao’s territory, and that coward would not dare to linger there.

  “There’s indeed no booking record. However, for the Liu family, they have another option if they’re in a hurry.”

  “You mean…”

  “That’s right. He might have taken a private jet. It’s very convenient. He can return to the Capital within two hours. Right now, only the airport near Westridge has a flight request. It should be taking off soon.”

  “That guy… is quite crafty. He can run so fast!”

  “Ha! That’s the Liu family for you. They have a lot of connections!”

  “Old Master Luo, can you help me charter a flight to the Capital? I’ll be at the airport in an hour.”

  “Sure!”

  …

  Around midnight, a private plane landed at an airport in the Capital.

  Liu Yulong stepped down from the plane. His face was pale, and he looked like he had lost his soul.

  Even now, he still could not believe that Uncle Mao was dead!

  He was even more terrified. Tang Hao had a defensive Artifact formation to protect his house, so he was definitely not a mundane person. If he came to kill him, what would he do?

  “Young Master!”

  He walked outside and saw a car waiting for him.

  After driving for more than half an hour, the car arrived at the mountainous area on the outskirts of the Capital, where the Liu family mansion was located.

  “What happened to you, Yulong? Are you injured? Also, Where’s Uncle Mao?”

  As soon as he got out of the car, a middle-aged man in his fifties walked out of the door.

  “Dad, Uncle Mao… he… he’s… dead!” Liu Yulong said in a trembling voice.

  “What?”

  Liu Wenjun’s expression changed drastically. “Who did it?”

  “I… I’m not too sure either, but the opponent is very powerful. If I didn’t run away quickly, I would have died!”

  “Which bastard dares to kill a member of my Liu Family! You came back from Province Z, right? Is there a new villain?”

  Liu Wenjun could not contain his anger.

  “He… might be still pursuing me!” Liu Yulong said.

  “What? He dares to pursue you? Good! I can’t wait for him to come! It’ll be the perfect opportunity to take revenge!” Liu Wenjun sneered.

  He did not ask what had caused the dispute. The Liu family had lost a family member, so it did not matter who was right or wrong.

  “Inform everyone to be on guard!”

  He turned around and ordered the people standing at the door. Then, he walked in with Liu Yulong.

  At the same time, another private plane landed at the airport in the Capital.

  The cabin door opened, and a young man in his twenties stepped down. He was Tang Hao, who was pursuing Liu Yulong.

  Along the way, Tang Hao had already done a more thorough investigation of the Liu family.

  The Liu family consisted of a few hundred people. However, there were not many cultivators, and only the direct descendants were qualified to cultivate. At the same time, he had also found out the location of the Liu family house.

  Walking out of the airport, Tang Hao hailed a cab and rushed toward the Liu family.

  Chapter 653 - Crippling Everyone

  In the Liu family mansion, lights were lit up one by one.

  The people came out from their rooms one after another. Many of them looked confused.

  “What’s wrong?”

  “Sigh! Something major has happened! Liu Mao is dead! First Young Master escaped back here with injuries!”

  “Damn! Who’s bold enough to lay a finger on the Liu Family?”

  “Who knows! It must be some ignorant heretical cultivator. Word has it that he might come to look for trouble here, so we have to be on guard for the next few days.”

  “That can’t be! We’re in the Capital!”

  Amid the chaos, the Liu family descendants gathered together and stood in formation.

  “I think you all know that Liu Mao died just a few hours ago. He died in Province Z. Yulong also barely escaped with his life!

  “No matter who the murderer is, we must take revenge. The blood of our Liu family cannot be shed in vain!

  “From now on, everyone be on alert! Now, hand out the talismans and weapons.”

  Liu Wenjun stood at the front of the formation with a cold expression.

  He waved his hand, a group of people came up from the sides. Some carried small silver briefcases, while others worked together to carry large crates.

  The briefcases were opened, revealing stacks of talismans. The large crates were filled with weapons.

  Civilians were forbidden to carry firearms in Huaxia, but cultivator families more or less had a secret stash for emergencies.

  “Talismans, one stack for each person. Guns, take as many as you want. If that villain dares to come here, we’ll show him the power of the Liu family! His blood shall be used to pay tribute to Liu Mao’s spirit in heaven.”

  The Liu family descendants stepped forward and took the talismans and guns.

  Their expressions were somewhat relaxed. They did not think that someone would dare show up at their home base.

  The Liu family was not at the pinnacle in the Huaxia cultivation world, but they were somewhat famous. Moreover, they were located in the Capital, and no one had ever dared to act recklessly here.

  “Outrageous! Truly outrageous! I wonder if people have forgotten about us because I haven’t shown up in public for a long time? How brazen of that villain to harm the Liu family!”

  A white-haired old man dressed in a traditional Chinese suit walked over. He had an angry expression on his face.

  “Who did it, Wenjun? Where’s Yulong? How is he?”

  He looked at Liu Wenjun.

  “Father! Yulong was seriously injured, but his life isn’t in danger. As for the villain… Yulong can’t say for sure. It was a sneak attack. His cultivation base should be quite high, at least in the mid
dle period.

  “It’s obvious that the villain is coming for him. I wonder if any of his past enemies hired a heretical cultivator to deal with him,” Liu Wenjun said.

  “That’s also possible!” Liu Yunlai nodded and said.

  “Father, I think we should be on guard tonight, and we’ll send someone to investigate tomorrow morning. At the same time, we’ll also give Li uMao a proper burial.”

  “Good!” Liu Yunlai responded.

  Then, he snorted coldly and said, “I will personally stand guard tonight. I want to see if that villain has the guts to come to our Liu family.”

  Immediately, someone brought a chair and placed it in front of the door.

  Liu Yunlai sat upright like a mountain. Around him were the Liu family descendants.

  The night was getting darker.

  Suddenly, two lights appeared on the pitch-black road in the distance. A car was coming over.

  In an instant, there was a commotion in front of the door.

  “He’s here? That can’t be!” Everyone exclaimed in disbelief.

  “Hmph! Good! It’s about time!”

  Liu Yunlai stood up in a flash, his eyes bursting with brilliance.

  The car stopped outside the front gates. It was a cab. The door at the back opened, and a figure stepped out. He was a young man who looked about twenty years old, dressed in a white shirt and slacks.

  “Who is he?”

  “Is he that villain?”

  Everyone was stunned and found it hard to believe.

  It was not until the metal front gates were kicked open that they came to their senses. That guy was really the villain!

  “Identify yourself, heretic! How dare you come to my Liu family to cause trouble!” Liu Yunlai roared.

  He looked over and sized up Tang Hao.

  The guy was quite young, perhaps deceptively so. Otherwise, how could he fight with both Liu Mao and Yulong?

  He could not discern Tang Hao’s cultivation base through his qi aura, but he guessed that Tang Hao was in the middle period of the State of Qi Channeling.

  ‘Could he be in the late period? That’s absolutely impossible!’

  In all of Huaxia, only a few people were in the late period of the State of Qi Channeling. They would not appear in public so easily.
