My husband Can Cultivate

"I’ll say it again: without an appointment, you cannot enter!" Wu Liang said placidly. His demeanor was so friendly and he smiled so warmly that it was hard to imagine him as an expert.

A Martial Artist from the Gu Family sneered, "Old fool, I advise you not to be so stubborn, or your end will be tragic!"

"Gentlemen, I advise you to leave. You truly cannot enter here," Wu Liang said, shaking his head.

"Why waste words on him? He’s just a doddering old man! Let’s take him out!" one of them roared, lunging directly at Wu Liang.

He threw a ferocious punch, one so powerful it created a sonic boom. An ordinary person would have fainted from fright before it even landed. This punch was meant to kill.

Wu Liang frowned and sighed. "Why bother?"

Suddenly, the handle of his broom shot forward.

BANG!

The Martial Artist charging at him was sent flying. He landed on the ground and wailed nonstop; his ribs were clearly broken.

The others now furrowed their brows.

"So he’s an expert! No wonder he’s so brazen. Everyone, let’s attack together and finish this old man off!"

The remaining nine men from the Gu Family roared and charged at Wu Liang in unison.

A barrage of fists, daggers, and kicks rained down on Wu Liang, leaving him no room to dodge. It was as if they intended to execute him on the spot.

"Gentlemen, you’ve gone too far!"

Wu Liang shook his head and swept out with his broom. Incredibly, he wielded the simple broom with the flair of a Fangtian Huaji.

The roaring Powerful Energy transformed into a violent wind, wrapping around the nine men.

BOOM!

All nine were sent flying, crashing to the ground. They each clutched their chests or faces, howling in agony.

They were utterly terrified. None of us expected this! The nine of us working together couldn’t even defeat an old sweeper. How are we supposed to deal with Yang Qi? This has to be a joke!

"Old man, who are you? We have no quarrel with you! We’re just here for Yang Qi. What business is this of yours?" one of them roared.

"Yang Qi is my benefactor, so of course, I must intervene. If you want to touch him, you’ll have to get through me first," Wu Liang said calmly. To put it bluntly, Yang Qi gave me a second chance at life. It’s only natural that I help him as much as I possibly can.

The ten men stared at each other in disbelief. This old man is definitely stronger than Yang Qi, so why is he willing to work for him? In the Gu Family, someone like him would be revered! He might not be on par with Master Wang, but he’s certainly a top-tier expert in the mortal world.

"Are you looking for me?"

A figure floated down, appearing beside Wu Liang. He looked at the group indifferently. "Who sent you?"

"Heh, we’re not talking!" one of them sneered.

The next moment, however, a fleck of fire landed on him, and he was instantly reduced to ashes.

"Are the rest of you planning to stay silent as well?"

Yang Qi was different from Wu Liang. Wu Liang had clearly held back; although the ten men were defeated, not one of them had died. Yang Qi, on the other hand, was far more ruthless. He had just shown up and already eliminated one of them.

"We’ll talk, we’ll talk!" The remaining nine men were terrified by the sight and shouted, "It’s the Gu Family! Gu Baiyun sent us! There’s a master who wants something you have!"

"What master?" Yang Qi asked coldly.

This time, they answered without hesitation. "Master Wang from Penglai Island!"

"What does he want from me?" Yang Qi asked.

"He said it’s a small bronze sword," the nine men replied.

Yang Qi frowned. The small bronze sword... I found that by chance and repaired it myself. I only knew it was a decent Magic Artifact, but I never imagined it would be something Master Wang coveted so much.

"Didn’t he say what it was?" Yang Qi asked again.

"It’s supposedly the key to opening Penglai Immortal Island, but we really don’t know any more than that! Please, hero, spare us! We were just following orders," the nine men pleaded in terror.

"Scram!" Yang Qi waved his hand dismissively. "But remember this: don’t let me see you again, or none of you will leave alive. Go back and tell Gu Baiyun to get out of Thunder City. Otherwise, what happened to Gu Lingshan will happen to him. Don’t think I’m joking. I never joke."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The nine men scrambled away, truly terrified.

Yang Qi was about to turn and head back to the White Mountain Estate when he suddenly smirked. "Since you’re already here, why not show yourself? Surely you haven’t come to avenge Leng Xue?"

"Hehe, Mr. Yang, it seems you’ve grown much stronger since your trip to the Black Evil Sect," the Venomous Spider said with a laugh as she emerged from the shadows.

Wu Liang frowned. I didn’t even notice this woman was here.

"Don’t worry about it. Her Realm is much higher than yours, so it’s normal that you didn’t notice her," Yang Qi said to Wu Liang with a smile. He then turned to the Venomous Spider. "No matter how much stronger I get, I’m still no match for you."

"You’re being modest. Honestly, while I expected Leng Xue would meet a bad end, I never thought you’d actually kill him. I’ve covered things up for you, so headquarters probably won’t find out for a while," the Venomous Spider said. "I’m not here to avenge him. I just heard a master from Penglai Island has come to take your life. What am I to do? I can’t have you dying on me. I’m in great need of the Elixirs you refine. So... could I stay by your side?"

"That’s not out of the question. With a great beauty like you protecting me, I imagine I’ll have very sweet dreams," Yang Qi replied. I’m not sure how strong Master Wang is. Having the Venomous Spider around will improve my odds. What’s not to like? "What kind of Elixir do you need this time?" he asked.

"Beauty Pills. They need to be at least fourth-grade," the Venomous Spider said.

"I’m surprised. I didn’t think you cared about your looks like an ordinary person," Yang Qi said, momentarily stunned before chuckling.

"I’m over thirty; I’m not getting any younger. I have to pay attention to my upkeep. Besides," the Venomous Spider laughed, throwing a coquettish glance at Yang Qi, "I’m not even married yet."

"Don’t try that on me. You know I have someone I love. Apart from her, I’ve devoted everything else to my Cultivation," Yang Qi said, shaking his head. "Prepare the materials and I’ll refine the pills for you. That’s all."

「Meanwhile, outside the Martial Arts Association.」

Ye Feng had just stepped out, planning to find Yang Qi to discuss the one hundred billion investment, when someone blocked his path.

"Chairman Ye, no need to be alarmed. I am Alliance Hierarch Liu of the Commerce Alliance. I’ve come to speak with you about the investment."

Ye Feng smiled. So the Commerce Alliance has finally made its move? Yang Qi predicted they would cause trouble, but I didn’t expect them to act so quickly.
