Chapter 224: I Understand

Gu Shaoqing continued, "Of course, there is another reason."

"The Third Elder wants to see what kind of person you are?"

After saying this, Gu Shaoqing returned to his usual grinning appearance.

"So now the answer is out."

"Since you, Brother Yang, decided to take action, the rest is simple."

Yang Fan pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked:

"The Rao Family has operated on Xiling Star for so many years."

"Their industries, connections, and clan members are deeply intertwined."

"Relying solely on Guardian Tang Yue and Tier 3 Deity Ye Wen, I'm afraid that won't be enough, right?"

Gu Shaoqing smiled upon hearing this, "Rest assured, Brother Yang, everything has already been prepared."

Speaking of this, Gu Shaoqing's expression suddenly became somewhat strange.

It seemed somewhat helpless as he said, "The backer behind the Rao Family… was originally a member of the Gu Family, and… they are actually an acquaintance of mine."

Gu Shaoqing rubbed his nose, his face showing some embarrassment.

"After the other party received the message from the Third Elder, they didn't hesitate at all and handed over all the lists, industries, and connection networks."

"The Family Enforcement Team arrived long ago."

"Now, all it takes is one word from you, Brother Yang."

"The entire Rao Family, not a single person will escape."

Hearing this, although Yang Fan still had some doubts in his heart, he nodded, "Then give the order."

Gu Shaoqing smiled, then opened his wristwatch and sent the message.

His movements were understated, as if he had just sent an ordinary message.

However, the next moment, a large amount of noise suddenly came from outside.

"Who is there!"

"This is the Rao Family territory!"

"Stop!"

"Who allowed you to break in!"

Immediately after, angry voices kept ringing out.

"Presumptuous!"

"Do you know who we are!"

"The Gu Family is behind our Rao Family!"

"Are you all crazy!"

…

Inside the room, Yang Fan sat quietly.

Gu Shaoqing poured himself another cup of tea.

Neither of them stood up, as if everything happening outside had nothing to do with them.

But the commotion outside grew louder and louder.

Footsteps, roars, cries, and the sound of weapons clashing.

Then it quickly subsided.

In just a few short minutes, everything was completely suppressed.

The entire Rao Family fell silent instantly.

Just at this moment, Rao Tianming's voice came from outside the door.

"Young Master Yang…"

His voice was trembling slightly.

"I don't know what my Rao Family… did wrong?"

The moment the voice appeared, Guardian Tang Yue had already silently stood in front of Yang Fan, like a barrier.

Gu Shaoqing smiled and said, "Brother Yang, want to meet him?"

"Let's meet," Yang Fan nodded slowly.

At this moment, even he himself felt a bit dazed.

He was clearly only a demigod, yet now he was using the Gu Family's influence to easily decide the life and death of a Third-Order God Family.

Gu Shaoqing, on the other hand, looked indifferent, as if Rao Tianming outside was not worth mentioning at all.

But Yang Fan couldn't do that.

Because he knew very well that in Yang County, a Third-Order God was already an absolute big shot.

"Family Head Rao," Gu Shaoqing said indifferently, "come in."

The door slowly opened.

The next moment, Rao Tianming knelt directly on the ground.

"Young Master Yang, spare my life!"

"Spare my life!!"

His voice even carried fear.

In fact, from the moment the Rao Family was controlled.

Rao Tianming had already exhausted all his connections.

Backers, allies, business partners, and even those he used to call brothers, he had contacted them all.

But there was no response at all.

Until this moment, Rao Tianming finally understood.

This was someone suppressing all of them at the same time.

Someone with this kind of ability was definitely not someone he could provoke.

Although Gu Shaoqing had high status, he was notoriously hands-off, so he clearly couldn't do it.

The only possibility was the young man in front of him.

Realizing this, Rao Tianming didn't even dare to resist and rushed over to beg for mercy immediately.

A Third-Order God, the local emperor of Xiling Star, a big shot in the eyes of outsiders.

But only Rao Tianming himself knew that he was just a dog raised by someone else.

There were too many people who could crush him to death.

Just then, the door opened again.

Tier 3 Deity Ye Wen walked in, and a few figures were thrown in behind him.

They slammed heavily beside Rao Tianming.

"Family Head!"

"Save me!"

The few were full of horror, and they were all powerful gods of the Rao Family.

Tier 3 Deity Ye Wen bowed respectfully, "young lord, the powerful gods of the Rao Family have all been controlled."

Yang Fan nodded, then organized the evidence just sent by Gu Shaoqing, projected it onto the electronic board, and threw it in front of Rao Tianming.

Yang Fan said calmly, "You shouldn't have any excuses, right?"

Looking at the dense evidence before him, Rao Tianming instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

His lips trembled; he wanted to explain but didn't dare.

His gaze kept shifting toward Gu Shaoqing.

Seeing this, Gu Shaoqing suddenly sneered.

"Uncle Gu Ming was also deceived by you."

"Don't you think?"

Rao Tianming's body trembled violently.

Gu Shaoqing continued slowly:

"The total number of direct and collateral descendants of the Rao Family is twenty thousand."

"Those guilty of serious crimes and must die are about five hundred."

"There are about three thousand more, for whom serving a hundred-year sentence is enough."

"The remaining collateral descendants can be treated leniently."

"So, you should know what to say, right?"

Speaking of this, Gu Shaoqing smiled.

But that smile made Rao Tianming's whole body go cold.

Hearing these words, the last glimmer of hope in Rao Tianming's heart was completely extinguished.

Just then, a First-Order God from the Rao Family nearby suddenly struggled to crawl up, his face full of unwillingness.

"Family Head, Brother!"

"The dirty things we've done all these years, what actually fell into our pockets is not even—"

Before he could finish his sentence, Rao Tianming had already made his move.

Without any warning, he swung his right palm out violently.

Boom—

The air exploded instantly; that palm seemed to tear through space directly, with terrifying Divine Power compressing crazily.

Yang Fan could only see a blurry afterimage flash by.

The next moment.

The First-Order God's body instantly froze.

Immediately after, his Physical Body crumbled bit by bit.

Flesh, bones, and Divine Power seemed to be directly wiped away by an invisible giant hand, vanishing in an instant.

The whole room fell silent instantly.

Yang Fan's pupils contracted slightly, and his heart couldn't help but beat violently.

At this moment, he finally truly realized what a Third-Order God actually was.

If that palm had landed on him just now, he would definitely have died.

A demigod has no power to resist against a god!

Seeing Rao Tianming make such a choice, the other Rao Family Elders also lowered their heads one after another, completely silent.

Rao Tianming slowly stood up and bowed deeply to Yang Fan.

"I understand, my Rao Family's time is up."

"Since that is the case, I am willing to be this stepping stone."

"To help Young Master control Xiling Star."

Yang Fan frowned slightly upon hearing this, feeling a bit confused.

This guy… what did he understand?

Just then, Rao Tianming slowly pressed his palms together.

Hum—

His body actually began to emit a dazzling white light.

The next moment, terrifying Divine Power shot into the sky.

A Divine Power phantom a thousand feet tall instantly condensed, crashing through the roof and standing between heaven and earth.

Across the entire Xiling Star, countless people looked up at the sky at the same time.

Rao Tianming's voice slowly rang out.
