Li Qiang and Zhao Hao teleported there invisibly. With Li Qiang's current cultivation level, even ordinary immortals might not be able to detect his invisibility.
This was a very beautiful villa-style building, but unfortunately the roof had completely collapsed, the flower beds and trees in the yard had been destroyed, and many corpses were lying haphazardly on the ground, with the surrounding area in complete disarray.
At least several hundred masked soldiers surrounded the villa, and armed aircraft were monitoring it from the sky.
A soldier holding a microphone shouted, "Attention everyone inside! Drop your weapons and surrender immediately. We will take responsibility for your safety."
A roar came from inside, "Get out! If you piss me off... I'll kill you all... Get out!"
A man who appeared to be a commander shouted, "Fire! I refuse to believe we can't kill them!"
At a command, hundreds of soldiers opened fire simultaneously, and the entire villa collapsed piece by piece, like an adobe house in a downpour.
Zhao Hao tried to rush out several times but was stopped by Li Qiang. He said anxiously, "Master, Tange can't hold on much longer."
Li Qiang shook his head and said, "It's alright, he can withstand this attack. It's strange, why is he guarding this place? If Tange wanted to escape, no one should be able to stop him."
Li Qiang extended a wisp of his Divine Sense and immediately understood Tange's predicament. Nashan seemed to be unconscious, and in order to protect Nashan, he could not escape alone.
Li Qiang said, " Zhao Hao, you go help Tange hold them off; leave the rest to me."
Zhao Hao flew out impatiently, and in an instant, all the weapons turned and opened fire on him, making his whole body flash with silver light.
Li Qiang silently approached from behind, quietly performing a Divine Spirit Instruction. He watched as groups of soldiers disappeared into thin air, and the gunfire gradually subsided.
Li Qiang was too lazy to investigate right and wrong. He simply threw everyone onto a planet in the Primordial Realm and sent them there to fight wild beasts. He didn't even spare the armed aircraft that were monitoring from the air; he threw them all into the Primordial Realm.
The commander suddenly realized something was wrong. He watched helplessly as his men disappeared one by one and couldn't help but scream.
Li Qiang suddenly appeared before him and said calmly, "Stop yelling. I've sent all your men to another world."
The commander went berserk, yelling, "You killed them! I... I'll kill you!"
He grabbed a rapid-fire pistol beside him, pulled the trigger, and bullets struck Li Qiang repeatedly like a stream of metal. But to his horror, he discovered that the other party was completely unfazed by the attack.
Finally, he ran out of bullets, and he let go in a daze, the rapid-fire gun falling to the ground.
He murmured in a daze, "Devil... you... you are a devil... you are not human..."
Li Qiang originally wanted to find out what their mission was, but seeing that this person was on the verge of collapse, he had no choice but to throw him into the Primordial Realm as well.
He clapped his hands and suddenly realized that this was a great idea. Sending these difficult people to the Primordial Realm was a good solution, as the Primordial Realm itself was a place that needed to be developed.
Aside from the dead, only a few living people remained in the villa, and the entire foot of the mountain was deathly silent. Suddenly, a loud shout came from inside the villa, "Boss! Come quick!" The woods rustled and shook violently, and Li Qiang immediately teleported inside.
Nashan was lying on the ground, with Zhao Hao crouching beside him examining him. Tange had removed his mask, and upon seeing Li Qiang, he cried out as if he'd seen a savior, "Boss, come quick... what happened to Nashan?"
Li Qiang didn't have time for pleasantries. He strode to Nashan's side and sent a wisp of Divine Yi Power into his body.
Li Qiang frowned slightly and said, " Nashan has been cursed with the Heartless Knot. That's something from the Poison Incantation Sect. I remember Brother Hou suffered from it before... This should be able to be cured. Tange, do you have any good wine? Bring a few bottles, the higher the alcohol content, the better."
Zhao Hao was also present at the time and knew how powerful this "Heartless Knot" complex was. Even a master like Hou Pijing was tormented to the point of helplessness, let alone Nashan.
Tange breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "I'll go get it, I'll go..." He then rushed towards the basement.
He and Nashan had a very deep friendship, and if it weren't for his desperate protection, Nashan would probably have been captured.
Zhao Hao said worriedly, "How could Nashan have been cursed? Hmph, the Poison Incantation Sect has even come here. It seems this is a new frontier for the cultivation Cultivation Realm."
Li Qiang said calmly, "Once the teleportation array is activated, people from the Cultivation Realm will come in droves. The technology here is so advanced that it's a novelty for the Cultivation Realm, so it's normal for the Poison Incantation Sect to come."
Tange rushed back, bringing over a dozen bottles of baijiu (Chinese liquor). He said, "Boss, we're running low on baijiu. Are these enough? If not, I'll go out and find some more."
Li Qiang picked up a bottle of the strongest liquor, lifted Nashan up, and shoved the bottle into his mouth. He used his Divine Yi Power to force the liquor down his throat, and in the blink of an eye, the entire bottle of liquor was gone.
A moment later, Nashan started coughing, mumbling sleepily, "Where am I? Hmm, I think I fell asleep... Rare indeed... Hmm..."
He suddenly felt something was wrong, abruptly opened his eyes, rubbed his face vigorously, and asked in confusion, "Am I dreaming? Wait, why is the boss here? Oh dear..."
Li Qiang said with a grin, "I'm not the boss, you're the boss here. How dare you be so arrogant in my hometown?"
Nashan's eyes widened, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Damn it, the boss is really back! Haha!"
Li Qiang burst into laughter at Nashan's use of "his grandfather's," and slapped him on Baldy bald head, laughing and scolding, "How did you get involved with the Poison Incantation Sect? You didn't even know you were cursed! You were too careless!"
Zhao Hao and Tange both laughed.
Nashan rubbed his Baldy and said smugly, "The boss knew I was in trouble, so he came back to help me. Boss, isn't that right?" He had the thickest skin among the brothers.
Li Qiang said, "Alright, try circulating your internal energy to examine your Nascent Soul. The Heartless Knot ' can't be resolved with just a bottle of wine."
Recalling Hou Pijing's appearance back then, Zhao Hao also said, "Yes, Junior Brother, you should still get checked out."
Nashan sat down cross-legged, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said, "I can't activate my Nascent Soul, and I can't circulate my True Essence Power either. My Nascent Soul seems to be bound by something."
He was somewhat frustrated. The sealing of his Nascent Soul meant a significant decrease in his abilities. If he encountered members of the Poison Incantation Sect again, he would have no chance to resist if they incited him to use poison curses.
Li Qiang underestimated his own cultivation level. With his current abilities, he could completely break Nashan's Heartless Knot. However, the speed at which his power increased was beyond his expectations. He never thought he could break the curse. Because of Hou Pijing's example, he only knew to use pure alcohol to neutralize it.
He said, " Nashan, the liquor can temporarily loosen the shackles on the Nascent Soul, but it's not strong enough to completely loosen them. You'll be able to resolve it once you find pure alcohol. It's nothing serious."
Nashan smiled wryly, "If I, Old Na, drank every day... damn it, wouldn't I become an alcoholic?"
Zhao Hao said, "Uncle-Master Hou drank for over ten years to untangle the 'Heartless Knot of the Poison Incantation Sect; his alcohol addiction was quite severe."
Nashan was in good spirits. He said nonchalantly, "That's fine too. Damn it, having a high alcohol tolerance isn't a bad thing here. Before, I relied on my cultivation instincts to drink, and winning wasn't honorable, haha. When my alcohol tolerance really improves, I'll drink with others based on my skills. That's the style of Old Na."
Li Qiang laughed and said, "Anyway, Tange is with you, and he'll protect you. Once you find the alcohol, immediately untie the Heartless Knot. If you encounter the person who cast the curse before you untie it, you'll be in big trouble."
Tange relaxed upon learning that Nashan was alright and asked, "Where did those people outside go?"
Li Qiang said, "I've sent them away. Don't worry, they'll never come back. Nashan, why did those people capture you? They seem to be special forces."
Nashan shook his head and said, "I don't know anything. I just suddenly got confused. You should ask Tange."
Tange said, "Those people are professional mercenaries." He thought for a moment and said, " Baldy, is it that big arms dealer you extorted last time? They've come knocking on your door?"
Nashan touched his Baldy, hesitated for a moment, then grinned. "You mean that old potato... what's his name, William? No way, that guy wet his pants last time. Besides, I didn't extort much from him, I just intercepted his goods and sold them to him, it was just a little money, sigh... I don't think it could be him."
Then, Nashan recounted a long list of extortion experiences from the past few years, leaving Li Qiang stunned. This guy was even more ruthless than a bandit and a robber; he specialized in extorting shady assets, and all of them were large sums of money.
Li Qiang asked curiously, "What did you do with the money you extorted?"
Tange laughed and said, "He doesn't care about the money, he only cares about having fun being the boss. I'm the one handling all the money... Our Sealed Fate Society organized the largest charity foundation, all the money is there, hehe, we just think it's fun."
Li Qiang nodded. Money was indeed of little use to cultivators. Nashan and Tange's actions had a Robin Hood-like flavor.
Li Qiang scolded them, "I really don't know how you two are doing your jobs. You're always scheming against others, and now you've been brought to your own hideout and we don't even know who did it. If you were ordinary people, you would have been killed long ago, you two idiots!" He reprimanded the two of them without any politeness.
Nashan and Tange were both tired of his scolding and didn't care at all, both grinning innocently. Li Qiang couldn't help but laugh too; he felt that it was difficult for him to get truly angry anymore.
Nashan and Tange whispered and discussed for a while. Tange said, "Boss, we can't be sure who ambushed us right now, but we can find out." He seemed very confident.
Li Qiang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll investigate with you." He was always on the go and rarely stayed in one place for long. He liked the feeling of wandering around, and this habit was hard to change.
Nashan asked incredulously, "Boss, did I hear that right?"
Zhao Hao asked in confusion, "Master, you... you don't need to do this, do you?"
Li Qiang laughed and said, " Zhao Hao, don't be so nervous. I just wanted to take a walk around, but I can't think of a good place to go. I'll follow Nashan and the others... and see who's up to."
Zhao Hao said, "Alright, I'll go with Master too. Nashan, Tange, you two, stop causing trouble, you hear me?"
Nashan and Tange answered respectfully, "Yes, senior brother."
Among these fellow disciples, Zhao Hao's authority was second only to Li Qiang. Nashan and Tange had been disciplined by Zhao Hao when they were on Tanbang Star. At that time, they were made to cultivate. These two guys were incredibly lazy. If it weren't for Zhao Hao's supervision, they might not have been able to enter the Nascent Soul Realm yet. The two of them both respected and feared Zhao Hao.
Li Qiang laughed, "Don't listen to your senior brother. You can do whatever you want, hehe. I'll just watch the show. Zhao Hao, go check on the three people on the flying vehicle and tell them to quickly take the Lesser Origin-Nurturing Pill. We'll be leaving soon."
Nashan chuckled happily. He knew his boss's temper best; he was not only fiercely protective of his own, but also loved to cause trouble. He exclaimed excitedly, "Boss, that's great! Let's go to Europe!"
Zhao Hao said, "My company also has large stores in Europe, I'll arrange the accommodation."
Tange shook his head and said, "Your place is too conspicuous; it's not suitable for you to go."
Zhao Hao thought about it and also felt it was inappropriate, so he smiled and said, "Then you two can make the arrangements, just don't make it too simple."
Li Qiang shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, you guys decide. I plan to be a carefree tourist, haha." He was in a very good mood, completely in a state of indifference, and now very few things could disturb his State of Mind.
Sensing the peaceful state of mind that Li Qiang exuded, the three brothers seemed to relax a lot as well.
Li Qiang asked, "Who are those corpses outside?"
Nashan was still unaware of what had just happened. He asked, "What corpse?" Then he rushed outside and began to curse loudly.
Tange said, "Many of them are his men outside..."
Nashan, his eyes red, stormed back, saying viciously, "If I find out who did it... I... I'll dig up their ancestral graves... Old Tan, they're all dead!"
Tange said, "I told you to give up here sooner, but you wouldn't. This place is too conspicuous. Many enemies know about this place, Baldy! We're in the open, and the enemy is in the shadows. How can we not suffer losses?"
Li Qiang pondered for a moment and said, " Nashan, one of your men is definitely missing. Check carefully."
Nashan paced back and forth anxiously, rubbing his Baldy as he stared blankly at Li Qiang and asked, "Boss, I'm so angry I've lost my mind. What do you mean?"
Tange said, "I'll go check it out and be right back."
After a long pause, Nashan seemed to realize something. He asked doubtfully, "You mean... someone under my command is causing trouble?" His eyes flashed with a murderous glint.
Li Qiang said calmly, " Nashan, why are you so angry?"
One sentence brought tears to Nashan's eyes. He choked back sobs and said, "Damn it, they were all my prospective disciples, and they were all killed. I... I'm Old Na."
Li Qiang asked, "A prospective disciple? So you have other disciples?"
Nashan rubbed his eyes, though there weren't really any tears. He nodded and said, "Yes, there are only about thirty officially. Sigh, that's too few. They're all scattered around the world, and we don't have enough manpower."
Li Qiang was secretly surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Do you think this is Black Prison? Why are you taking in so many apprentices?"
Nashan said, "Hey, they're all orphans, street thugs. I took them in because I felt sorry for them. Except for a few good-for-nothings, boss, you wouldn't believe it... they're all formidable characters." Nashan's face lit up as he talked about his apprentices.
Tange rushed in and said, " Zhang Yuguo, whom you brought back last time, is missing, and all the other twenty-odd people are dead."
Li Qiang said, "You must find him first, and you'd better hurry, or he won't be alive."
Nashan lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh and cursed, "Damn it, I remember now, that's right! It was this kid who did it, I'm going to skin him alive!" No one knew what he remembered, but he just asserted that it was Zhang Yuguo who did it.
Li Qiang said, "You should find him first; there might be more to the story."
Nashan asked, " Old Tan, do you know where Zhang Yuguo might have escaped to?"
Tange smiled bitterly, "Who knows? Everyone's dead..."
Zhao Hao said, " Nashan, where did you find this person? Maybe he's already run back."
Nashan shook his head and said, "That's impossible..."
Li Qiang laughed and said, "Don't worry, since they've already made their move, even if they failed this time, they'll definitely come back. Are you afraid we won't find them?"
Nashan and the other two, being caught up in the moment, were only brought to their senses by Li Qiang, an observer. Nashan, his eyes red, said, "That's right, they definitely won't let this go. Humph, don't Old Na me for being ruthless; I'm going to kill them!"
Li Qiang advised, "Don't kill anyone so easily; just send them to another world."
He had already begun to consider expanding into some planets in the Primordial Realm and arranging for some Earthlings to go there; otherwise, if the Primordial Realm was inhabited by Bona People, it would be too unbearable for him, the master of the Primordial Realm.
Zhao Hao and the other two couldn't understand Li Qiang's words, but it was clear that they weren't allowed to kill people indiscriminately.
Zhao Hao and Tange had no objections, but Nashan was still unwilling to give up. He shouted, "Boss, you must deal with that mastermind. You can do whatever you want with the others. I want to avenge these brothers."
Li Qiang didn't object further. He nodded and said, "Alright, leave everyone except the mastermind to me."
He looked at everyone and said, " Nashan, quickly dispose of those corpses. Also, how are you going to get to Europe? Never mind, I'll teleport you there; it's fast and convenient."
Zhao Hao stopped him, saying, "Master, don't teleport there."
Li Qiang asked, "Why?" A sudden thought struck him, and he couldn't help but laugh, "Right, Zhao Hao is right! We should swagger in, make a big show of it, haha, it'll be fun!"
Nashan touched his Baldy and asked in confusion, "What kind of riddles are you two talking about?"
Tange thoughtfully fiddled with the mask in his hand and said, "I can only go there quietly; I can't go with you." He understood Zhao Hao's thoughts.
Only Nashan was confused. He stared wide-eyed and asked, "Boss, what does that mean?"
Li Qiang laughed and said, "It's nothing special, just fishing, catching that big fish that's trying to harm you!"
Nashan suddenly realized what was going on. He chuckled, then suddenly put on a bitter face and said, "Ah, I, Old Na, am still the most honest and kind-hearted one. Why are you all so cunning and scheming? Too many tricks up your sleeves are bad for cultivation." He actually started lecturing everyone.
Li Qiang chuckled, a half-smile on his face, and said, "Cultivation has nothing to do with being too cunning; on the contrary, it's difficult for someone who's lacking in cunning to cultivate... hahaha."
After chatting and laughing for a while, Nashan and Zhao Hao went out to deal with the body.
Zhao Hao deliberately found a corner with good feng shui, used his flying sword to open a large pit, put the corpses in, and burned them clean with a Samadhi True Fire.
Tange left alone; he had his own connections and could quickly reach Europe.
Li Qiang, Zhao Hao, and Nashan returned to the helipad and flew away in their private aircraft.
Inside the cabin, Zhang Jinguang, Sun Ang, and Wang Yuelin were like ants on a hot plate, running back and forth in the lavatory. The luxurious lavatory in the cabin was the only place where the three of them could relieve themselves.
Because Sun Ang and Wang Yuelin were police officers, that precious spot was occupied by the two of them. In the end, Zhang Jinguang couldn't bear it any longer, picked up a rapid-fire gun and forced the two of them to move aside. He managed to keep from suffocating by holding the gun up and pulling down his pants with one hand.
All three of them were puzzled. What exactly was this Lesser Origin-Nurturing Pill? Why did it cause diarrhea after taking it?
After Li Qiang and his two companions boarded the plane, they ignored the people in the lavatory. Zhao Hao returned to the pilot's seat and started the aircraft. Li Qiang remained in the co-pilot's seat. Nashan, having no seats available, stayed in the cabin. The young man frowned and muttered, "When did Senior Brother's cabin become so filthy?"
The bathroom door opened, and three people filed out, with Nashan tilting his Baldy and looking at them curiously.
Two men carrying pistols stood with their backs to him. A burly man, carrying a rapid-fire rifle in one hand and holding his trousers with the other, emerged from the washroom.
Nashan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He found it extremely strange that there were three oddballs in his senior's cabin. Nashan, resting his chin on his hand, coughed and asked, "What game are you playing?"
The three men simultaneously turned their guns on Nashan.
Sun Ang glared at him. "Who are you? Hands up!" He was a police officer and habitually told people to raise their hands.
Nashan looked at the three with interest, frowned, and said, "These three little ones have no manners at all. You are...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Sun Ang shouted, "Hands up, or I'll shoot!"
Nashan blinked and said, "Go ahead and shoot, but if you miss, it'll be troublesome. This private aircraft is very expensive; I'm afraid you can't afford to pay for it, haha."
Sun Ang, holding a short gun, approached step by step, sneering, "I'll get close and shoot. I don't believe you can step aside." When they were about a meter apart, he shouted, "Hands up!" Nashan suddenly raised his hands.
Sun Ang sneered, "I thought you weren't afraid... wait..." He suddenly realized that his hand was empty; the short gun had appeared in Nashan's hand.
Without a word, Wang Yuelin put away his pistol. Zhang Jinguang wasn't stupid either; he leaned his rapid-fire pistol against the sofa and quickly fastened his belt.
To be able to snatch Sun Ang's pistol so quickly, even a fool could guess that this person must be from the Sealed Fate Society, and like Zhao Hao and Li Qiang, a formidable individual.
Sun Ang stared blankly as Nashan twisted his short gun into a pretzel shape, then twisted it back into place, rendering the gun completely unusable.
Nashan chuckled as he handed the pistol back to Sun Ang. His grin was infuriating. "Heh heh, little guy, so you were just trying to scare me... You made me raise my hand with a broken gun? Heh heh, I raised my hand, here's the gun back."
Zhang Jinguang, standing to the side, said sarcastically, "He's a policeman, that's his livelihood. Be careful he doesn't fight you to the death."
Li Qiang emerged from the cockpit and said, " Nashan, you and Zhao Hao should discuss how to get to Europe."
Nashan walked towards the cockpit with a smile.
Sun Ang, his face contorted in a grimace, clutched a broken gun, his lips trembling as he stammered, "You... you... I..."
Li Qiang said, "Get yourself a different weapon. I hired you guys, not to fight. Don't be so dejected. It's just a gun."
Sun Ang was so angry that tears were about to fall; he felt like he was having a nightmare.
Zhang Jinguang was quite excited. He asked, "Boss, are we going to Europe?"
Li Qiang nodded and said, "We're going to Europe in a big way."
