My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 307: Simply Outrageous!

After Yang Qi left, Cao Kun also came out of the hospital. Seeing Cao Kan gathering people, he couldn't help but ask, "What happened? Where is Elder Chen Guo?"

Cao Kan immediately stepped forward to report, "A guy named Yang Qi abducted him!"

"Yang Qi? The same Yang Qi connected to my son's death?" Cao Kun asked coldly.

"That's him!" Cao Kan nodded.

"Useless! With your combat power, how could you let him get away?" Cao Kun said coldly.

"This subordinate is guilty," Cao Kan said. "I never expected that kid to make a move so suddenly. By the time I reacted, he had already fled in a car."

"Yang Qi!" Cao Kun's expression was extremely grim. This incident was a complete disgrace to him. He had just arrived in Kang City, only to be humiliated like this. Elder Chen Guo had been kidnapped right from under their noses.

If word of this got out, what would become of my reputation? Am I supposed to have any dignity left?

These powerful figures always took their reputation very seriously. Now that such an incident had occurred, he was about to explode with rage.

"Family Head, I will immediately dispatch people to search the entire city. I refuse to believe we can't catch those two bastards!" Cao Kan was also furious with himself.

"Go immediately! If you must, send the Barbaric Beast out to search as well!" A terrifying murderous intent flashed in Cao Kun's eyes.

Cao Kan was startled. If the Barbaric Beast were unleashed, a bloody storm would truly descend upon Kang City. By then, the situation would spiral out of control.

"There's no need, Family Head! I will definitely find them!" Cao Kan immediately ordered his men to begin the search.

Elder Chen Guo was the key. The matter with Yang Qi could be set aside for now. After all, Elder Chen Guo knew the person who could save Cao Xingjian.

***

After picking up Elder Chen Guo, Yang Qi personally escorted him back to Thunder City. Once in Thunder City, he was under the protection of Lei Qingtian. No one would dare to touch him—not the Cao Family, not even the Thunder Sect.

Back at home, Wolf King muttered, "Big Brother, this Cao Kun is truly arrogant and tyrannical. Does he think he's untouchable?"

Yang Qi smiled. "In Kang City, he really does have the right to be arrogant, but I'll deal with him. Have you finished today's training? The task I gave you, to persist in your training, will be of great benefit to you!"

Yang Qi held nothing back, directly teaching the Vajra Body Refining Technique to Iron Heart, Iron Bone, Wolf King, and the others. After all, the greater their combat power, the more help they could be to him.

Meanwhile, Cao Kun had moved into a mansion the Cao Family had purchased in Kang City. Just then, Cao Kan returned, bringing with him very bad news.

"Elder Chen Guo has returned to Thunder City. Furthermore, Lei Qingtian has made a declaration: whoever dares to touch Elder Chen Guo will be making an enemy of the Lei Family!"

"Son of a bitch!" Enraged, Cao Kun smashed the table with his palm. "This Yang Qi truly has no respect for me! He actually dared to escort Elder Chen Guo away. It looks like he desperately needs to be taught a lesson! He's too audacious!"

He couldn't afford to provoke the Lei Family, so he couldn't touch Elder Chen Guo for the time being. That meant he could only vent his inner fury on Yang Qi. He had originally planned to stabilize the situation before making a move on Yang Qi, but he hadn't expected Yang Qi to greet him with such a show of force. Since that was the case, the plan had to be moved up.

Cao Kan immediately said, "We've already investigated this Yang Qi thoroughly. He is on good terms with Ye Fei, the chairman of the Qifei Group, and he knows the group's mysterious owner. He most likely dares to oppose us because he's relying on that mysterious owner's influence!"

"The Qifei Group? In Kang City today, besides the City Lord Mansion, the Qifei Group is the most powerful, isn't it?" Cao Kun asked.

"Correct!" Cao Kan nodded. "Family Head, what are your orders? This subordinate will make the arrangements at once!"

Cao Kun thought for a moment and said, "Alright, send out a general summons! Invite everyone of note in Kang City to attend. Anyone who fails to come is disrespecting me, Cao Kun. I must set Kang City straight and let everyone know that an insignificant person like Yang Qi is not even worth mentioning!"

Cao Kan nodded. "Understood, Family Head! Will the gathering be held here?"

"Yes, right here! Remember to send an invitation to the Qifei Group as well. Have them attend!" Cao Kun commanded.

"This subordinate understands!" Cao Kan promptly left to carry out the orders.

Three hours later, invitations had been delivered to all the influential figures in Kang City. Even the retired Fan Shengren was invited, along with other notables such as Zhao Xiong, Yan Bo, Du Le'an, Liu Changsheng, and Yao Ran.

Naturally, Yang Qi also received an invitation. The wording was extremely stern, practically an order to appear. It was the kind of summons that implied death for non-attendance.

"This Cao Kun is far too arrogant," Wolf King said, fuming as he read the invitation.

"It can't be helped. The man is powerful enough to look down on ordinary people. A Sixth Rank Great Grandmaster is no joke," Yang Qi said with a smile.

"Sir, are you going?"

"No rush. I want to see the stance of the various factions in Kang City," Yang Qi said. Adversity reveals true character. This is a great opportunity to test people's hearts.

***

For many in Kang City, this invitation was no different from a Death Sentence. They could either pledge allegiance and be exploited, or resist and face an almost certain death. The ferocious reputation of the Barbaric Beast was well-known, and they were terrified.

Going was a risk, and not going was a risk. It was already too late to escape. Rumor had it that Cao Kun had already posted men to watch Kang City's exits. Anyone who dared to flee would be in for a world of trouble.

Soon, the banquet was ready. Song Wulin bustled about, overseeing everything. In his view, siding with the Cao Family was his chance to rise to prominence.

At seven in the evening, Song Wulin stood at the door, awaiting the arrival of guests from all sectors. Every significant personage came. Who would dare refuse? To not show up was to declare opposition to the Cao Family and the Thunder Sect, and no one in Kang City had that kind of courage.

In the past, although Song Wulin was the heir of the Song Family, he was still a junior, and many people didn't take him seriously. But things were different now. Almost every guest who arrived nodded at him in acknowledgment.

This excited Song Wulin immensely. This is true living! This is what it means to be a man above others! Having the Cao Family as a backer was even more satisfying than being the Young Master of the Song Family.

Of course, there were those who paid Song Wulin no mind, such as Zhao Xiong, Yan Bo, and Du Le'an. These were men who had built their fortunes through their association with Yang Qi and could now be considered part of the new elite.

Fan Shengren also arrived, but he seemed much older. His health appeared to have deteriorated, as he arrived in a wheelchair, looking as if he might breathe his last at any moment.

By eight in the evening, nearly everyone had arrived. Twenty minutes later, Cao Kun finally made his grand entrance, flanked by Cao Kan on his left and the Barbaric Beast on his right.

A low growl rumbled from the Barbaric Beast's throat, like that of a terrifying wild animal. His stare alone was enough to make one's soul scatter in fear.

"Barbaric Beast, retract your aura!" Cao Kun said indifferently.
