Forcing Myself to Get on Board
Many cars came aggressively with their high beams on.
Old He took a step forward, shielding Li Yao and the others behind him. It was an almost instinctive reflex; in the past, countless Wallfacers like him had stood in front of ordinary people.
When the cars got close, they came to a sudden stop.
The car door opened, and men in sharp suits stepped out. Some were young, some were middle-aged, some were refined and gloomy, and some were burly and fierce.
Then a middle-aged man with slicked-back hair and streaks of gray in his hair walked out from the crowd.
People made way for him.
They protected him.
It was as if everyone was surrounding the moon.
Li Yao secretly mobilized his magic power, completing the Spell Circuit for the Soul Burning Wind, ready to unleash its power! Then...
Then the middle-aged man finished driving about ten meters away, bowing and scraping, and said in a very humble tone, "You must be the Wallfacers! My apologies for not recognizing you! The conflict that occurred here was not the Wang family's wish. Please do not be angry. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation!"
Li Yao: "!?"
Chen Xi and the others. "..."
The Wang family
Are they really that cowardly? Seeing them so frantically taking on responsibility, Li Yao began to wonder if they had gone too far. He Zhengyu also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Wang family's attitude was too humble, it was ultimately "unexpected but reasonable."
For these secular families, the Wallfacers" were like the Ming Embroidered Uniform Guard's Embroidered Uniform Guard intimidating ordinary wealthy households!
They are the emperor's personal guards! They are ministers of the Privy Council! Although they are hidden and of low rank, they wield great power and influence.
Given their size, they certainly wouldn't dare to confront the Wallfacers head-on. Even the long-established supernatural organizations and families within China maintain a necessary respect for the Wallfacers.
There's even a saying circulating within the Old Profound Sect:
In times of chaos, they save the world; in times of peace, they remain hidden! What are they afraid of? They are afraid that those in power will become wary of them because they are too flamboyant.
Modern society is much more enlightened than in ancient times, but there are still some things that cannot be done recklessly.
Old He usually acts like an honest man, whether in Midnight Bar or the Lost Tavern, but now he's adopted an official tone, saying in a formal manner, "I believe this isn't your Wang family's idea. There must be someone secretly stirring things up here. When I get back, I'll speak with the Wallfacers guards in Lu Province to assist you in your investigation."
The person who was speaking first felt a chill run down his spine.
Damn! Just what I feared most has come to pass! Assisting with an investigation... that's a nice way of putting it, but in reality, it's just to help you purge internal discipline!
In this process, all those dirty deeds done in the past will probably be dug up.
certainly,
Even if the Wallfacers finds out, he won't immediately turn hostile; he'll just smile and say, "We can't do that again."
But what if something really happens in the future, and they call you in for a meeting, pointing at your file and trying to discuss it with you... do you listen or not? The person in charge this time is really frustrated! But there's nothing they can do.
Which Mind's Eye actually sent troops to ambush us here? This time we're really suffering in silence.
Just as the head of the Wang family was about to grit his teeth and accept it, he heard the young man next to him say, "The Wallfacers is indeed very domineering."
The person in charge next to him almost peed his pants! Good heavens! What the hell are you doing?!
Before Old He could reply, the person in charge angrily shouted, "Wang Zhiyuan! Do you even have the right to speak like this?!"
Since he had already taken over the conversation...
Old He and Li Yao were also happy to watch the excitement.
Honestly,
Li Yao was also curious. He hadn't noticed it before, so why was the Wallfacers so domineering in front of these so-called families? Oh well.
None of that matters, the important thing is to enjoy the show!
Then the young man Wang Zhiyuan said sorrowfully to the head of the group, "Dad, our Wallfacers families have suffered for too long! Must we continue to endure this?"
Li Yao looked at Old He in surprise.
I wondered to myself, what exactly did you Wallfacers do?!
Look what you've done to that child!
Wang Zhiyuan spoke with great passion and fervor, "Throughout the history of China, no noble family or clan has ever been as pathetic as they are now! Our ancestors were the Langya Wang Family! Look at what a coward we've become! Even a Chen Family, which rose from humble beginnings, could single-handedly kill my clansmen!"
"Take a look!"
"Does the Wang family still have even a trace of its former glory?"
Li Yao listened from the side and felt that there was a lot of information in this.
Even the person in charge was a little bewildered by his son's outburst.
The atmosphere in the wilderness was somewhat silent and a little awkward.
Old He coughed twice... He looked apologetically at Wang Zhiyuan and his Laozi and said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it... It's an old problem. Can you continue? We can talk again after you've sorted things out internally."
The person in charge gave a dry laugh and bowed to Old He, saying, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh."
He straightened up and slapped his son across the face. "I said, do you have the right to speak?"
Doesn't he know his own limitations? Wang Zhiyuan was a tall and handsome young man, dressed very politely, but the slap left him with disheveled hair and a bit embarrassed.
He remained in the position of being slapped aside, and said in a low voice, "As expected, the Wang family is beyond saving in your hands."
Huh? Wang Zhiyuan's Laozi was a little confused.
What's going on today?
Wang Zhiyuan scanned the crowd with an eerie tone and posture, his gaze finally settling on his Laozi: "Everything we've done today is a necessary sacrifice for the revival of the family. Dad, may you rest in peace!"
Everyone was stunned, especially the person in charge, who looked at his son and didn't understand what was going on.
Until his son, with a ferocious look in his eyes, reached out his claws at him!
"Whoosh!"
At such close range and completely unprepared, the person in charge was instantly killed by his own son.
Wang Zhiyuan's claws pierced his Laozi's chest, crushing his heart. Hot blood splattered all over his face. His calm face was filled with fanaticism and ferocity in his eyes. He slowly withdrew his hand from his Laozi's chest and looked at Li Yao and the others. "You are not the first batch, nor the last batch."
Old He stopped coughing at this point.
He glanced across at the group opposite him and noticed the murderous aura emanating from the young men behind Wang Zhiyuan, as if they wanted to tear them apart.
Old He: "There's nothing to talk about."
Wang Zhiyuan: "Have a safe journey."
Old He nodded, then snapped his fingers.
Crimson flames shot skyward, blazing fiercely like a pillar of fire in the wilderness. The Wang family members were engulfed before they could even react! Wang Zhiyuan: "???"
Damn, how is this Wallfacers so strong! He misjudged the enemy's strength, but he still had some skills. Even with his rage burning, he wasn't instantly killed.
Strange silver patterns lit up its body, mysterious and ancient, eventually converging at its forehead, splitting into a third eye...
The brilliant silver flames poured out.
It actually suppressed Old He's fire power, but there was still a difference in their strength. Wang Zhiyuan barely survived thanks to the protection of his silver fire, but he dared not linger. With a flick of his silver light, he broke through the fire pillar's blockade! At this moment, escaping was the priority!
