Jiang Tianyun's tone was overbearing, leaving no room for doubt, as he casually decided the fate of Chen Jiuyang and the other two.
Chen Jiuyang: "I have a question."
"A dying man, I can satisfy your curiosity. Ask," Jiang Tianyun said with a placid expression. In his eyes, Chen Jiuyang and the other two were already dead.
Chen Jiuyang asked, "How did you know the Yao family was in danger of being wiped out?"
Jiang Tianyun smiled and said, "I don't know the specifics. I only know that the Gong family is orchestrating a plan to join forces with us and divide the Yao family's assets."
"The Gong family?" Yao Deyun frowned. Their Yao family knew nothing of any Gong family.
Jiang Tianyun said, "The question is finished. Time to go."
With that, Jiang Tianyun rose from the sofa and bowed respectfully to the old man in the martial robe behind him, "Master Xue, I'll trouble you to act."
Yao Deyun and Yao Zixuan's faces turned deathly pale. The other party had actually invited a master to act. No matter how powerful Chen Jiuyang was, he wouldn't be a match for a master!
The old man in the martial robe stepped forward, his gaze ancient and weathered. He sized up Chen Jiuyang and said, "You could kill Han Xue. Your martial arts cultivation is not weak. What a shame."
Chen Jiuyang's gaze was cold, "You, a master who has entered the Profound Realm, are acting as a subordinate for others. You've wasted your martial arts for your entire life."
Master Xue said indifferently, "Living is the most important thing."
"Time to go."
As the words fell, Master Xue raised a hand and grabbed at Chen Jiuyang from a distance. A palm condensed from true qi lunged towards Chen Jiuyang.
Facing this move, Chen Jiuyang merely shook his head in disdain, "So you're a master who stumbled into it by chance. Your qi and blood are dry, you have the moves but no power. No wonder you're willing to be a dog for others."
Facing this move, Chen Jiuyang simply stepped to the left and easily dodged it.
"Boom!"
The wall of the hotel room was immediately blasted with a large hole by Master Xue's qi palm.
The next instant, Chen Jiuyang shot out a silver needle, aiming for Master Xue's brow.
Master Xue's expression changed. He immediately retracted his hand, his entire body's true qi condensing into a protective barrier to block Chen Jiuyang's silver needle.
"Clang!"
In the next instant, Chen Jiuyang had already rushed in front of Master Xue and punched him in the chest.
"Bang!"
Master Xue's qi barrier was shattered by Chen Jiuyang. The fist directly crushed Master Xue's bones, ruptured his internal organs, and extinguished his life force.
Master Xue stood still, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his pupils gradually dilating. He rasped, "What a domineering punch..."
With that, Master Xue fell backward to the ground and died.
With Master Xue's death, Jiang Tianyun and the man in the suit with a gun at his waist had their expressions change.
The man in the suit drew his gun and aimed it at Chen Jiuyang, preparing to pull the trigger.
Chen Jiuyang sneered, "Beyond seven steps, the gun is faster. Within seven steps, I am faster!"
"Bang!"
The sound of a gunshot rang out. Chen Jiuyang's divine soul was incredibly powerful. Although he couldn't see the bullet's trajectory, he could sense where the gun was aimed based on the shooter's posture.
He simply squatted down and dodged the shot. Then, he lunged forward at the gunman, stood up, and swung his palm.
"Slap—"
The gunman's head was instantly smashed to pieces by Chen Jiuyang's terrifyingly powerful palm, and blood splattered all over Jiang Tianyun.
In just one exchange, Chen Jiuyang had killed the martial arts master and gunman brought by Jiang Tianyun.
Jiang Tianyun, however, remained composed and sighed with emotion, "Young brother, your skills are incredible. You actually saw Master Xue's weakness and killed him. I, Jiang Tianyun, am impressed!"
Chen Jiuyang's gaze was cold, "How do you want to die?"
"I won't die," Jiang Tianyun said calmly. "I can buy my life with a piece of information."
Chen Jiuyang sneered, "What information can buy your life, Jiang Tianyun?"
Jiang Tianyun took out his phone and, in front of Chen Jiuyang, made a call, "Bring those few people over."
A moment later, Huang Bufan and Huang Pingshi were brought over. Their mouths were taped shut, and they were bound with chains.
This was within Chen Jiuyang's expectations. He said, "The lives of these two are not enough to buy your life."
"I will handle the lives of these two for you," Jiang Tianyun said. "Please wait a moment."
A moment later, a middle-aged man was brought over. Upon seeing Yao Deyun and Yao Zixuan, the middle-aged man's expression changed, "How are they still alive! Boss Jiang, what's going on?"
Yao Deyun saw this middle-aged man, his face looking grim, then extremely gloomy, "Yao Dexing!"
Yao Zixuan looked incredulous, her delicate face pale, "Uncle Eleven, you actually colluded with outsiders to harm your own family..."
"Hmm? A Yao family member?" Chen Jiuyang was surprised.
Jiang Tianyun said, "The Huang family only told me that you took away a batch of very good raw stones. The person who truly provided me with the location of the stones was Yao Dexing."
"Yao Dexing said that as long as Yao Deyun and Yao Zixuan were eliminated, the raw stones would be mine, and he would transfer ten billion to me. He would also handle the follow-up evidence, claiming that Yao Deyun and Yao Zixuan died at the hands of unknown robbers."
"Is this information enough to buy my life?"
Yao Dexing's face turned ashen. He pointed at Jiang Tianyun and cursed angrily, "Jiang Tianyun, you were the one who approached me first, and now you're betraying me! May you die a terrible death!"
Chen Jiuyang frowned. Yao Deyun stepped forward, "Jiuyang, Yao Dexing is a traitor. He needs to be taken back to the family for punishment."
Jiang Tianyun took out another check, "Here are twenty billion. I will provide more information about the Gong family later. Is that enough to buy my life?"
"You gambled correctly," Chen Jiuyang took the check, patted Jiang Tianyun's shoulder, and said coldly, "This information is indeed enough to buy your life, but don't expect your future days to be easy. Within three years, you will have nightmares every night."
At this moment, Yao Zixuan received a phone call and walked over, "Jiuyang, the plane has arrived. We should go."
Yao Deyun went up and punched and kicked Yao Dexing, venting his anger, "Because of you, my Yao family lost more than ten people! You ungrateful beast, when I take you back to the family, I'll let the elder decide your punishment!"
The group left the hotel and headed to Dengcheng Airport to fly back to Fengcheng.
Seeing Chen Jiuyang and Yao Zixuan return safely, Yao Qianhe breathed a sigh of relief.
Yao Qianhe looked at Yao Dexing with a grim expression, "Zixuan, you don't need to go back. You stay with Jiuyang. I need to clean up my own house!"
Yao Zixuan drove Chen Jiuyang home to Ziyang County.
In the car, Chen Jiuyang took out the twenty billion check, "Zixuan, half of this money is yours."
Yao Zixuan shook her head, "No, Jiuyang. If it weren't for you this time, my and my father's lives would be uncertain. This twenty billion is compensation from Jiang Tianyun to you. Also, the raw stones you picked for my father this time, the profit should be shared with you."
Chen Jiuyang chuckled, "Alright."
When they arrived home, Zhang Xiuzhen saw Chen Jiuyang return and said excitedly, "Yang'er, Old Secretary Huang said you were seriously injured and told me to prepare for the funeral. Hurry up and let Mom see where you're injured."
Chen Jiuyang smiled and said, "Mom, I'm not injured. I just went on a trip with Zixuan."
Zhang Xiuzhen carefully checked Chen Jiuyang and indeed found no injuries. She said angrily, "That old man is not a good person, to lie about such a thing! He has no conscience!"
Chen Jiuyang smiled and said, "Mom, don't be angry. I'll teach him a lesson tomorrow." Only then did Zhang Xiuzhen relax and start cooking.
After dinner, Yao Zixuan actually put on black stockings and got into Chen Jiuyang's bed, making Chen Jiuyang's mouth dry.
In addition, the pajamas she was wearing were of a rather sexy style, making Chen Jiuyang's blood boil.
Yao Zixuan's pretty face flushed slightly. She went up and hugged Chen Jiuyang's arm, asking in a sweet voice:
"Jiuyang, do you think I look good dressed like this?"
