My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 326: Big Brother Qi, save me!

"Let's go!"

Song Ruize left with his secretary. He had planned to make a fortune in Kang City, but now the chance was gone. He would have to go back and thoroughly plot against Yang Qi. This was especially true after what he had just experienced; he hated that he couldn't just grind Yang Qi's bones to dust.

In the car, the secretary consoled him, "President Song, don't worry about it. He's just a good-for-nothing who got in through connections. What kind of ability could he possibly have? Even if he makes it to the finals, he'll just be a laughingstock. He's nothing impressive. You don't need to get angry over such a nobody!"

"Shut up! What do you know!" Song Ruize snapped angrily. "That old bastard Lei Qingtian isn't stupid. The fact that he let this kid straight into the finals is proof enough of his capabilities. I'm starting to suspect that all those elixirs from the Qifei Group were his creation. But no matter how talented he is, I'll make him regret it! I'll make sure he can't participate in the Elixir Medicine Conference!"

Meanwhile, at the Kang City Elixir Medicine Association.

Yao Ran laughed heartily and said, "Mr. Yang, you're truly impressive. Seeing Song Ruize fuming like that was so satisfying! With your skills, winning the Elixir Medicine Conference will be a breeze."

"Is that Song Ruize also competing?" Yang Qi asked.

"Naturally. Song Ruize will be representing Thunder City," Yao Ran replied.

"Hmm, I hope he makes it to the finals. It'll be a great opportunity to let that old fellow taste true humiliation," Yang Qi said with a smile.

"You must be careful, though," Yao Ran warned. "Thunder City is not Kang City. You have quite a few enemies over there. Plus, Song Ruize is well-connected, cunning, and sly. Who knows what kind of methods he'll try to use against you. You absolutely must be vigilant and not fall for his tricks!"

"I will be," Yang Qi nodded.

Just as he was about to go home, he received a frantic call from Ye Fei. "Something's happened, something big!"

Yang Qi hurried to the Ye Family home, where two people lay severely injured in a room. He quickly placed two elixirs into their mouths, helping them cling to life for the moment.

"Boss, we were useless, utterly useless!" the two men cried inconsolably. Even though they had been beaten until they were practically crippled, their primary concern was still their duty.

"Do you know who did it?" Yang Qi asked. The Wolf Guards assigned to protect Ye Qianqian were critically wounded, and Ye Qianqian was missing. The first thing Yang Qi needed to know was who was behind this.

"I don't think they're locals!" That was the only piece of information they could offer.

"Send them to the hospital for treatment. Make sure they're fully healed! As for Qianqian, I will get her back!"

Yang Qi grabbed his phone and dialed Zhao Xiong, Huang Borren, and Xiong Ba, ordering them to conduct a city-wide search for Ye Qianqian. Zhao Xiong could mobilize the city guard and the Heavenly Supervision Hall, Huang Borren had his own intelligence network, and Xiong Ba had many men under his command. If the three of them couldn't find her, he would have to find a way himself.

Just after he issued the commands, a call came in from an unfamiliar number. Yang Qi usually didn't answer unknown numbers, but today, he picked up.

"Hehe, Yang Qi, didn't expect this, did you? So what if you're powerful? Are all the people around you as formidable? Are you feeling anxious and scared right now?" an excited, distorted voice asked from the other end.

"Song Wulin!" Yang Qi's pupils constricted as a terrifying killing intent erupted from him. "You think I can't recognize you just because you disguised your voice? I spared your wretched life, yet you dared to kidnap a member of my family. Unless you release her immediately, I promise you, not a single member of the Song Family will be left alive. And that goes for the people behind you, too. Cao Kun, right? And your master, Shi Quan? I'll make them all die in agony. Remember, you have only one chance. Release her before I find Ye Qianqian. Otherwise, your fate is sealed!"

With that, he hung up.

On the other end of the line, Song Wulin was stunned, his entire body trembling. He had clearly used a voice changer. How did Yang Qi still recognize him? And how did he even guess that Cao Kun and Shi Quan were involved?

Is this guy even human? He's a monster.

He actually started to feel fear.

This is completely different from what I had imagined. Shouldn't Yang Qi be begging me?

He redialed the number, wanting to curse at Yang Qi and vent his frustration, but he found that the other party simply wouldn't answer.

"What's wrong?" Cao Kun sneered. "Is that kid on his knees begging you to release his sister?"

Song Wulin said awkwardly, "He said that if we don't release her before he finds her, he'll kill us all. By the way, he's already figured out who we are. The voice changer was useless!"

Shi Quan and Cao Kun both drew in a sharp breath. They had never encountered such an opponent before. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

This is too eerie. He's not playing by the rules at all!

"Hmph, releasing her is out of the question," Cao Kun said, gritting his teeth. "Have them bring the woman to Thunder City. Once the Life and Death Platform is initiated, she will become our leverage! Tell those men not to harm her for now."

Now that they had been discovered, being afraid was useless. They had to bite the bullet and press on. There was no other way.

「At the Ye Residence.」

Yang Qi gathered some of Ye Qianqian's hair and placed it on a Spirit Talisman. The talisman began to burn, and in the next instant, countless images flooded his mind. Blood started to trickle from his nostrils. This was a spell that consumed a great deal of energy and could only be performed with a Spirit Talisman. Yang Qi wouldn't use it unless it was absolutely necessary, as each use would damage his soul. Healing from it would take a long time and require many rare materials.

But this time, he had no choice. There was still no news from Zhao Xiong, Huang Borren, or Xiong Ba, and he couldn't wait any longer. He absolutely could not allow anything to happen to Ye Qianqian.

"Track over thousands of miles, search across countless lands! Earth Vision Sky Listening Technique, activate!"

So that's how it is!

Yang Qi opened his eyes and wiped the blood from his nose. His head felt groggy, but he now knew where Ye Qianqian had been taken. She was being held in a van that was currently heading toward Thunder City.

***

「On the highway.」

Several cars were driving along, one of which was a van filled with goods. Ye Qianqian was hidden among the cargo, her mouth gagged. She was terrified, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face. She was just an ordinary girl who never imagined she would be kidnapped right after leaving her house.

Where are they taking me? I don't know.

She was blindfolded, so she couldn't see a thing. All she could hear were a few people talking. Her cell phone had been confiscated long ago, leaving her with no way to contact anyone.

Brother Qi, save me!

In this moment of dire peril, the only person she could think of was Yang Qi.

Perhaps only he can rescue me.
