Chapter 125: Dual Cultivation Technique Initial Success (Part 1)

Captain Tang Fei's words were quite direct. Governor Zhao Cang did not dare to go head-to-head with the Shangguan Family. Although she had captured Golden Blade Wang and the other three wanted fugitives, the idea of going directly to the Shangguan Family to make arrests was simply wishful thinking.

Even if Golden Blade Wang and the others confessed that Shangguan Long or Young Master Shangguan Yu were the masterminds, if Shangguan Long and Young Master Shangguan Yu denied it, the police would have no way to deal with them. For people like them, unless they were caught in the act—but Shangguan Long was a Cultivator—would he leave any evidence for the police if he acted personally?

"So you police officers are just bullies who fear the strong and pick on the weak. The scapegoats are always just small fry, while those big shots never get punished no matter how many evil deeds they commit!"

Zhou Lang sighed inwardly and said this lightly. Now he was increasingly aware of the benefits of being powerful; if one wasn't powerful, one could only be at the mercy of others.

"Stop mocking me. I have limited power. Even capturing these few wanted fugitives involved great risk. Who knows if the Shangguan Family will retaliate against me for this? If it were any other police officer, they might have secretly contacted the Shangguan Family and let these four guys go."

Captain Tang Fei said, "They don't dare to openly confront the police System because the police System is the state's enforcement agency, but there's no guarantee they won't strike in the shadows."

"It seems you are still a decent police officer," Zhou Lang said, then told Ivanova and Xiao Xi, "Let's go!"

"Are you not going to help me get these prisoners down the mountain? I drove an extra car; you could have caught a ride out of this godforsaken place."

Captain Tang Fei said. They had been exhausted just climbing up the mountain. If Zhou Lang wasn't there, she wouldn't dare to unchain Golden Blade Wang and the others and let them walk down on their own. She would have to have someone carry these four killers, which would be exhausting.

"Catching criminals is your job as the police. We won't take your car; just call someone else to pick them up," Zhou Lang laughed.

Zhou Lang and Xiao Xi each held one of Ivanova's hands and quickly headed down the mountain. At first, they didn't show their powerful Cultivation, but once they were out of the sight of Captain Tang Fei and her team, Zhou Lang and Xiao Xi leaped into the air. With a light touch on the rocks, they could fly dozens of meters, descending the mountain in an instant.

"Zhou Lang, you bastard! You actually wouldn't help me! One day, I'll settle the score with you! When that time comes, I'll make you regret it!"

Watching Zhou Lang, Xiao Xi, and Ivanova leave, Captain Tang Fei stomped her feet in anger. Remembering that she had been teased by Zhou Lang twice, she was determined to settle things with him. If Zhou Lang ever ended up alone, she wouldn't care about anything else and would definitely teach him a lesson.

…

"Xiao Xi, how… how are you so powerful too?"

Ivanova felt as if she had flown directly down the mountain. After reaching the foot of the hill, she asked Xiao Xi curiously.

"My cousin is also a Cultivator, and her cultivation is not beneath mine. The police can't control the Shangguan Family, but I won't just let it go," Zhou Lang said. "My cousin coming here this time is just in time to give me a hand."

(Actually, Xiao Xi's cultivation was higher than his, but to avoid unnecessary trouble, he had to say it that way.)

"Brother Lang, the Shangguan Family is so powerful that even the police don't dare to arrest them. Let's just let this go; I'll be more careful in the future," Ivanova said. She was a smart woman. From the fact that Zhao Xiaorou was almost forced to marry into the Shangguan Family, and Captain Tang Fei's attitude toward them, she could see that the Shangguan Family was a behemoth that couldn't be provoked. Their strength was immense; if Zhou Lang forcibly went head-to-head with them, he might find himself in extreme danger.

"You are my woman. Since they dared to touch you, I must pay them back," Zhou Lang said angrily. Before becoming a Cultivator, he seemed like a slightly introverted man without much temper. Even in school, many people thought he was a pushover. But now, his identity was different, and the masculinity—or rather, the mettle—in him had been ignited.

In his current view, if a man couldn't even protect his own woman, he wasn't much of a man at all.

Feeling Zhou Lang's love for her, Ivanova felt completely surrounded by happiness. For a moment, she forgot what to say and just leaned gently on Zhou Lang's shoulder, silently vowing in her heart that no matter how much change occurred in the future, no matter how the world shifted, she would never leave Zhou Lang.

"Ivanova, make a call and have your Senior Brothers drive over to pick us up," Zhou Lang said afterward. After sending Ivanova back, he would have to deploy his counterattack against the Shangguan Family. Time was very tight for him, because the sooner he struck back, the greater the chance of success. If the Shangguan Family learned that Golden Blade Wang and the others had been captured, they would likely strengthen their defenses.

Ivanova did as told and called her Senior Brothers at the Arctic Judo Hall. While waiting for the car, Zhou Lang first called Zhao Xiaorou to report what had happened last night, urging the Zhao Family to strengthen their guard to prevent a surprise attack from the Shangguan Family.

Of course, he also contacted Yamamoto Yuki.

Yamamoto Yuki was fine, and after she secretly contacted Haneda Tomoko, Haneda Tomoko was also safe, so he was secretly relieved. Now he could be certain that this operation by Golden Blade Wang and the others was likely arranged privately by that playboy, Young Master Shangguan Yu. Even Shangguan Long didn't know about it. In that case, Haneda Tomoko wouldn't have known that Golden Blade Wang and the others had come to Feiyun City, so she couldn't have warned him in advance.

He told Yamamoto Yuki to stand by at Langui Garden, saying he would arrive in the provincial capital today because he was going to make a move against the Shangguan Family. He still didn't know what level of cultivation the current head of the Shangguan Family, Shangguan Long, had, but he decided to risk a battle.

Because according to his estimation, this Shangguan Long's cultivation couldn't be that high—at most, he would be at the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, if not lower. As long as that old antique of the Shangguan Family who traveled the world didn't return, if he and Xiao Xi joined forces, they might really be able to topple the Shangguan Family.

Dozens of minutes later, Ivanova's Senior Brother, "Krylov," drove over to pick up Zhou Lang and the others and brought them to the city center.

Afterward, Zhou Lang and Xiao Xi changed vehicles and headed directly to the provincial capital.

Earlier, when Zhou Lang called Zhao Xiaorou, she had repeatedly urged him not to act on emotion and not to casually attack the Shangguan Family. Zhou Lang agreed on the surface, but in reality, he had other plans.

Therefore, after arriving in the provincial capital, he didn't go to the Zhao Family but went to Langui Garden to find Yamamoto Yuki.

As for Xiao Xi, after meeting Yamamoto Yuki, she went to observe the perimeter of the Shangguan Family. Her cultivation was higher than Zhou Lang's, so this time, when they attacked the Shangguan Family, she would definitely be the main force.

"Master, how are we going to act this time? My Dual Cultivation Technique has already reached initial success; I can help Master improve your power!" After Yamamoto Yuki welcomed Zhou Lang into the living room and sat him down, she poured tea while asking Zhou Lang. Her eyes were flowing with charm, and she was extremely alluring. Today, she was wearing an OL outfit—a white shirt, black skirt, and black stockings—which was very sexy.
