My husband Can Cultivate

"Old Master, you must stand up for us!"

"Yes, Old Master! My son was left kneeling in Thunder City. That man said if we don’t go and kneel in apology, he will come to Sea City and exterminate us."

"Indeed! My poor son’s cultivation was crippled, and that damned brute even demanded that we apologize. This is outrageous!"

"That guy is so arrogant. He didn’t even try to hide his name. He said he’s called Yang Qi and told us to come find him."

The Family Heads from dozens of families had arrived, all hoping Old Master Wei would lead them to Thunder City.

"Yang Qi, isn’t he the disciple of the Star Shining Society’s boss?"

"Right, that’s the guy."

"He’s too arrogant! Does he think he can do whatever he wants just because he’s the disciple of the Star Shining Society’s boss? This is outrageous!"

Hearing everyone’s pleas, the fire of rage in Old Master Wei’s heart burned even brighter. "The Star Shining Society must be eradicated!"

Originally, the top ten families of Sea City were hesitant to move against the Star Shining Society. It wasn’t weak, having already exterminated the Tang Family of Sea City and the Tianhai Association. They didn’t want to provoke it. But now, Old Master Wei was enraged. He was determined to fight the Star Shining Society to the death; otherwise, how could the major families of Sea City maintain their dignity?

"Immediately inform all families to assemble! Lead the experts to Thunder City and wipe out the Star Shining Society! I want to see how the boss of the Star Shining Society explains this to me, how he expects our Wei Family to apologize!" Old Master Wei let out a low roar. He had made his decision. The death of his grandson was unacceptable, and he was determined to make the Star Shining Society pay the price.

Excitement shot through the crowd. Were they finally going to make a move on the Star Shining Society? They had always been wary of it, fearing it would come to Sea City to compete for business, as none of their individual families were a match for it. Now, with dozens of them acting together, even the Star Shining Society would be doomed.

Soon, Zheng Yihang, the Zheng Family Head, and Wei Lan, the Wei Family Head, arrived. Zheng Yihang was furious. Although his son hadn’t died, his situation was just as dire as Wei Ying’s. He’d been told over the phone that if he didn’t go, his son would die. But he knew his son would likely die even if he went. He wanted to see for himself just how capable the Star Shining Society was to dare kill his son right in front of him.

All of the top fifty families of Sea City had arrived, with the sole exception of the Tong and Wu Families.

At that moment, Tong Wu appeared. "Old Master Wei, you can go to Thunder City, but please, do not clash with the Star Shining Society. It is beyond anything you can imagine."

Tong Wu was naturally aware of how terrifying Yang Qi was. These great families had good relations, so he didn’t want to see them march to their deaths.

"Tong Wu, if you consider us friends, then shut your mouth!" Wei Lan roared.

Tong Wu sighed. He had done all he could. Since they refused to listen, he had no choice but to give up.

"Depart!" Old Master Wei roared. "This matter involves the honor and survival of every great family in Sea City. We absolutely cannot let this go! However, keep this quiet until after the Star Shining Society has been eradicated."

Everyone heeded Old Master Wei’s command. Fifty families each contributed a number of their top experts. While the group from each family was small, their quality was exceptionally high. This combined force could have easily wiped out both the Tianhai Association and the Tang Family of Sea City. To avoid attracting attention, however, they remained discreet and left Sea City in separate batches.

「Meanwhile, in Thunder City.」

Yang Qi had already recovered and had benefited greatly from the experience. The battle with Jiang Ran was a true clash of titans, a genuine fight. I’ve gained so much insight from it. And Jiang Ran is nothing more than an outer sect disciple of the Heavenly God Sect, yet he’s so terrifying. How formidable must the Divine Son be? If I want to be with Lin Qingxuan, I have no chance unless I can defeat the Divine Son.

Ye Feng, who had just finished cultivating in the Medicine Pool, asked, "Boss, do you think those people will come?" His realm had risen to Seventh-Rank Overlord and his confidence had soared. There was an excited smile dancing in his eyes.

"Heh, you want to test your skills too?" Yang Qi laughed. "Don’t worry, they’ll definitely come. But they won’t be coming to apologize; they’ll be coming for revenge. All we have to do is wait."

"Boss, you can’t handle this all by yourself this time! We all want to get some practice in," the Undying Barbarian King, Kong Tianjian, and the King of Jingnan chimed in as they approached, each one brimming with confidence.

If the families from Sea City knew that these people were so eagerly awaiting their arrival, one could only imagine their reaction.

"Alright, they’re all yours. I have no interest in that bunch of trash," Yang Qi said. After his battle with Jiang Ran, he had lost all interest in ordinary Martial Artists. He was simply using this as an opportunity to subdue the families from Sea City, paving the way for his entry into the city itself.

Li Qingyan was also ready to head to Sea City. For now, Ye Fei was more than capable of handling matters in Jingnan Prefecture, and he too would be coming to Thunder City soon enough.

While they awaited the arrival of the group from Sea City, the Wu Family had already grown deeply suspicious. Old Master Wu had summoned all the high-level members of the family for a meeting.

"This is very strange. It feels like something big is about to happen in Sea City."

"Father, what big event? How could I not know about it?" Wu Heng asked, puzzled. As the Family Head of the Wu Family, why had no one informed him?

"You don’t know? Old Master Wei has left Sea City. And it’s not just him. Forty-eight of the top fifty families in Sea City have also left. They left in batches, but I still found out. Only our Wu Family and the Tong Family have made no move," said Old Master Wu.

"Impossible! Old Master Wei has been a recluse for years, scarcely stepping beyond his own doorstep, let alone leaving Sea City. What on earth is he up to?" Wu Heng asked, drawing in a sharp breath.

"That old monster actually mobilized? And he took so many people with him. What is he planning?" Wu Xiu was also stunned.

"Something big must have happened. The direction they’re heading seems to be Thunder City. Could it have something to do with Wei Ying?" Wu Heng mused. "Wei Ying went to Thunder City for Zheng Bunai’s sake, and right after that, Old Master Wei made his move. Something feels off about this."

"Dad, stop overthinking this," Wu Xiu said with a dismissive wave of her hand. "Zheng Bunai went after Yang Qi, but what could that loser possibly do to cause such a huge incident? Besides, what major figure in Thunder City would dare to touch Wei Ying?"

"No!" Wu Heng shook his head. "It’s definitely not that simple. We must send someone to Thunder City to see what’s going on."

"Well, I’m not going," Wu Xiu said, waving her hand again.

"Then let Wu Feng go," Wu Heng said after a moment’s thought.

"Right, let him go," Wu Xiu quickly agreed. "That kid is stronger than me. If he runs into trouble, at least he can make it back alive."
