Chapter 348: Chapter 348 Irreversible [2nd Update]

“Hello!” Clutching the phone to his ear, Li Xiaoyao’s nerves were taut.

He had only been to the Kunlun Mountains for a little over ten days, but upon his return, such huge changes had occurred.

It was as if the whole world had changed, yet Li Xiaoyao had no idea what the reason could be.

“Is that you, Xiaoyao?” Zhao Ge’s voice came from the other end of the line, sounding tired, hoarse, and angry.

“Brother Zhao, it’s me. Where are you? What on earth happened?” Li Xiaoyao barraged him with questions.

Zhao Ge chuckled bitterly and said, “Your phone is likely tapped. I can’t tell you too much, or it’ll just put you in danger.”

“Brother Zhao!” Li Xiaoyao shouted angrily, “Do you trust me? If you do, tell me your current location.”

After hesitating for a few seconds, Zhao Ge then said, “If I didn’t trust you, I wouldn’t call you back. I’m now in WZ city, Jiangdong Province.” After giving the address, Zhao Ge smirked bitterly, “Xiaoyao, this time, we’ve really fallen into a trap.”

“Wait there for me.”

Having hung up the call, Li Xiaoyao pocketed his phone and turned to Nie Xiaoqian, “Miss Xiaoqian, there’s something I need your help with.”

“Please tell me, my lord, Xiaoqian will spare no effort.”

“There are several friends of mine, but I don’t know their current situation. If possible, please, Miss Xiaoqian, go check on them for me. If anyone is threatening them in secret, please kill them all!” Li Xiaoyao was only aware that something had happened to Tang Tiantian and the other girls, but he didn’t know if Lin Yuanyuan, Xiao Ya and the others were also implicated.

“All right, my lord, rest assured,” Nie Xiaoqian promised, so she would surely check on them. For this, Li Xiaoyao was very grateful.

Pushing open the window, Li Xiaoyao opened the map to confirm the direction of WZ city, his body transforming into a ghostly shadow that vanished into the skyline in an instant.

WZ city was roughly three hundred kilometers from Ling City. With Li Xiaoyao’s flying speed, it would take at most half an hour to get there.

In the Ling City Police Department, the chief’s office should have been occupied by Zhu Haishan, but someone else had taken his place.

“Knock, knock, knock!” Someone knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

A young man came in, speaking in an urgent tone, “Chief, the tech department has just detected a call between Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ge.”

“Oh? Where is Li Xiaoyao now?” The chief, named Liu Hao, was in his thirties, quite young. If it hadn’t been for Zhu Haishan’s fall from grace because of the Li and Xie families, he wouldn’t have been able to sit in this position at such a young age.

He knew that the Li family wanted to arrest all of Li Xiaoyao’s friends, which presented him with a perfect opportunity to align with the Li family, and Liu Hao couldn’t afford to miss it.

“Zhao Ge is in WZ city, and Li Xiaoyao is on his way there now. Contact the WZ city police immediately. Send them Zhao Ge’s location, have them surround Zhao Ge, and as soon as Li Xiaoyao appears, arrest him.”

“Yes, I’ll notify them right away.”

…

In a dirty and chaotic alley of WZ city, Zhao Ge sat outside a spicy hot pot shop, devouring his food, dressed in greasy clothes.

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

With a mind as sharp as a soldier’s, Zhao Ge paused slightly while eating his spicy hot pot, cautiously glancing around from the corner of his eye. There were a few suspicious figures that seemed to have appeared in the alley.

Undercover cops, Zhao Ge immediately identified.

They must have come for him. Without any sign of panic, Zhao Ge finished his spicy hot pot, paid the bill, and walked to the side of the road to squat down, taking out a pack of cigarettes and lighting one.

The undercover agents didn’t pay attention to him, probably because no one expected Zhao Ge to be disguised like this.

After smoking two cigarettes in a row, Zhao Ge knew he couldn’t stay any longer. Otherwise, even disguised as a beggar, he would surely draw attention.

Standing up, Zhao Ge turned and walked toward the trash bin at the entrance of the alley, bending down to pick up trash.

An undercover glanced in this direction and snorted before diverting his gaze.

After searching around for about fifteen minutes, the plainclothes officers still hadn’t found a trace of Zhao Ge.

“Everyone, take your positions and hide well. Zhao Ge is not important; our primary target is Li Xiaoyao. Is that understood?”

“Understood!”

“Li Xiaoyao is currently leaving Ling City and is expected to return to WZ City this afternoon, but do not let your guard down.”

They had miscalculated one thing, which was the speed of Li Xiaoyao.

As a powerful Cultivator with a Mysterious System, Li Xiaoyao was capable of flight, and a distance of over three hundred kilometers was a matter of mere tens of minutes for him.

…

After escaping the ancient tomb, Li Shisan immediately fled far away.

He arrived at a hotel in QZ City and had just sat down to rest when he received a call from Li Yiming.

Once the call connected, Li Yiming’s angry voice rang out beside his ear, causing Li Shisan to feel somewhat panicked.

Xie Min had spilled everything to save his own life, and Li Yiming knew everything.

Like a deflated balloon, Li Shisan still clung to a futile denial, “I didn’t know he was from the Li Family.”

“Hmph, you didn’t know? Do you really think I would believe that? I told you to capture him alive. What did you do? Did you attack directly without waiting for Li Xiaoyao to step out of the Formation?”

“I didn’t…”

“Don’t give me these useless excuses. Xie Min is already dead, and not many people know about this. If you don’t want to be punished according to Family law, get back here immediately and tell me everything exactly as it happened.” This was Li Yiming’s true aim.

Although he also felt that Li Xiaoyao bore an uncanny resemblance to the Family Head, physical similarity alone could never serve as evidence.

“Xie Min is dead?” Li Shisan was shocked. He couldn’t imagine Li Xiaoyao would actually kill Xie Min.

Didn’t he want to live? To kill Xie Min was tantamount to making an enemy of the Xie Family!

A wave of fear spread from the bottom of his heart, and in his panic, Li Shisan abruptly ended the call and shut off his phone.

He suddenly felt very afraid. Li Xiaoyao was too powerful, so powerful that he didn’t have the slightest urge to resist.

Suddenly, Li Shisan remembered that he seemed to have done something he shouldn’t have.

He had discussed with Xie Min about dealing with all the friends and women close to Li Xiaoyao; recalling this now sent a chill through him.

Offending someone who could easily crush a Cultivator in the Golden Core Realm was enough to make one’s life miserable.

Li Shisan’s hands trembled as he turned his phone back on and made a call to a top official in Lu Province.

As a member of the Li Family, one of the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country, Li Shisan’s status within the Li Family was not exalted, but to outsiders, it didn’t matter who he was; as long as his surname was Li, that was enough.

“Elder Li, what instructions do you have for calling?”

Li Shisan coughed and asked, “How’s the task I arranged going?”

“Rest assured, Elder Li, the task you arranged has been taken care of.”

Upon hearing this, another wave of coldness washed over Li Shisan.

It was over, truly over, with no possibility of redemption left.
