Chapter 1005: Rage! The Li Family Thinks Their Genealogy Is Too Thick?

"The martial arts gym had an incident? Was it Hu Jinyu?" Xu Jingming narrowed his eyes.

"That's right, but it's not just Hu Jinyu—it's the Li family too!"

"Also, the Yuehu residential area recently..."

Aunt Zhou Ying quickly recounted the entire sequence of events.

When she mentioned the security system had been tampered with, the air suddenly emitted a shrill hum.

Black lightning roared around Xu Jingming, a torrent of murderous aura erupting as if ready to tear the air apart!

Under the sudden surge of lightning and killing intent, Zhou Ying felt as if she were drowning, gasping painfully:

"N-nothing happened! Qiuyun and the others are fine!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the oppressive pressure vanished instantly.

Only then did Zhou Ying catch her breath, gasping heavily.

"Aunt, continue."

Xu Jingming took a deep breath and regained some composure before speaking.

"Yes!"

Though Xu Jingming was her junior, under the influence of his aura, Zhou Ying unconsciously used honorifics.

"Only two months! We were gone for only two months!"

After hearing the full account, Xu Jingming's heart was filled with raging fury!

He had guessed that Hu Jinyu and the Li family would take advantage of his and Professor Su's and Professor Ling's entry into the Breakthrough Tower.

But he never imagined Hu Jinyu and the Li family would be so bold—to deliberately disable the defenses and lure the Tianming Sect to target his family.

If he hadn't left behind a ninth-rank Thorn Sword Grass before leaving...

Qiuyun, Jiang Chu Xuan, even his aunt, would surely be dead beyond any hope of revival!

"That old dog Hu Jinyu!"

Su Qingli's eyebrows arched sharply, her fair face flushed with fury.

"It seems the Li family thinks their family genealogy is too thick,"

Xu Jingming's eyes brimmed with endless cold killing intent, then turned respectfully to Ermose:

"High Priestess, I have urgent matters to attend to—I must return to Blue Star."

"Go. My Flame Temple has already established its headquarters on Blue Star. After you finish, find me there."

Ermose nodded slightly.

The incident was sudden; his family's safety is understandable.

"Thank you, High Priestess, for your understanding."

"Professor Su, Aunt, Xi-jie, let's go back."

After bowing respectfully to Ermose, Xu Jingming retrieved a Black Obsidian-class fighter from his space ring and boarded it with the women.

Whoosh—!!

The fighter shot skyward and vanished beyond the horizon.

"Pity—the timing isn't ideal..."

Ermose shook her head slightly, her slender figure flickering and disappearing from the spot.

"Lord Xue Jian, what do we do now?"

After Xu Jingming left, his friend Chen Jun beside Lord Xue Jian spoke up.

They had originally planned to have a meal with Xu Jingming after leaving the Breakthrough Tower and apologize for their earlier behavior.

"Follow him. I'm afraid Xu Jingming will go too far."

Lord Xue Jian spoke with solemn expression.

"You mean... the Li family?"

Chen Jun's expression was uneasy, "The Li family has three ninth-rank experts, one even at ninth-rank peak! Xu Jingming wouldn't dare attack them, would he?"

The Li family, with three council members in one clan, is among the top-tier forces in all of Great Xia!

"Not necessarily. That's why we must follow and see."

Lord Xue Jian waved his hand and retrieved his own fighter, swiftly taking off with his companions.

"Damn! This is going to be huge!"

"Xu Jingming! Lei Di! This time he's going to slaughter everyone!"

"Hurry! Get back!"

"..."

Many other Great Xia nationals remained among the crowd.

These people also boarded their own fighters or flying devices and headed toward the Flame World exit.

Of course, compared to Xu Jingming and Lord Xue Jian's Black Obsidian-class fighters, their speed was vastly inferior.

"Jingming, what are you planning to do next?"

If possible, just deal with Hu Jinyu—try not to confront the Li family."

The Black Obsidian-class fighter, in maximum mode, sliced through the sky like lightning.

Inside the cockpit, Aunt Zhou Ying spoke with concern.

The Li family rose to prominence a hundred years ago.

Their foundation far surpasses that of our Song family!

Provoking the Li family will bring serious trouble later.

"Aunt, don't worry—I know my limits with the Li family." Xu Jingming offered no further explanation.

"That's good, that's good."

Zhou Ying felt a heavy stone lift from her heart, finally at ease.

Meanwhile, Leng Yuexi and Leng Yuechan exchanged a glance, each reading the other's thoughts.

Judging from their previous interactions with Xu Jingming.

Though his character was resolute and steady, he never hesitated when action was needed.

This time, he probably wouldn't let Li Family off so easily—even if it brought him immense trouble...

"Look! Isn't that Assistant Liu?"

"Whoa! It really is her!"

"A seventh-rank Master is standing guard at the gate? Am I seeing things?"

"New emperor, new ministers. With all the recent upheaval at Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym, she's been caught in the fallout too."

"Tsk tsk, she probably won't return to her former position now."

"......"

Great Xia, Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym Headquarters.

In front of the headquarters building, every psychic entering or exiting stared with surprise at the position on the right side of the gate.

There stood a tall woman wearing black-rimmed glasses.

Her hair was tied in a single ponytail, her demeanor quiet, exuding an air of scholarly grace.

Liu Wei!

Once the gym director's assistant, now assigned as a hostess, standing at the building's entrance to guard the gate.

For someone with seventh-rank peak strength, this was unquestionably the ultimate humiliation!

Yet even so, she smiled warmly at every passerby, radiating approachability.

Those who didn't know her truly believed she was just a hostess.

"Ding ling ling~~~"

Suddenly, her smart wristband chimed.

Liu Wei stiffened, a flicker of joy appearing in her eyes.

This was the alert tone she had specially set for Su Qingli.

'Could the gym director and the others have already left the Xinhuo World?'

Liu Wei quickly opened the message on her wristband—it was indeed from Su Qingli, and the content was brief:

'Xiao Wei, is Hu Jinyu at the gym headquarters?'

It really was the director!

Liu Wei's heart leapt; she replied at once: 'Yes, and so is Li Yang of the Li Family!'

The message was quickly answered: 'Good, we'll be at headquarters in a few minutes.'

Upon receiving the message, Liu Wei's heart surged with joy.

They're back! The director has finally returned!

Why had she accepted the assignment to stand at the gate as a hostess?

Simply to wait for the director's return so she could seek justice!

'Hu Jinyu! Your good days are over!'

Thinking of this, Liu Wei's smile grew even brighter.

Some gym members who had known her before and entered the building stared in confusion.

Could Liu Wei have been driven too far, and lost her mind?
