Chapter 33 - Chapter 33: Did the Tan Family Betray Us

It's only been a few days?

He was secretly shaken.

In less than ten days, he went from the initial stage of Qi Refining to the second level of Qi Refining.

Is this something a normal person could do?

It's important to know that to advance from the first level of Qi Refining to the second level, you need to condense a second Qi vortex. This has its limitations.

Unconsciously, the previous guess resurfaced in his mind.

Impossible! Even the most extraordinary Qi Refining cultivators couldn't defy this common sense!

He shook his head, feeling it was still unlikely; at most, he thought Liang Xiao was a genius.

A genius from a prefecture-level city, or even a municipality, might be able to do it too.

Without thinking further, he started his sports car and drove away.

Downstairs in the third unit building.

After Captain Huang drove away, Liang Xiao strode toward the outside of the residential area.

"I'm now the honorary captain of the law enforcement team; it's perfectly reasonable for me to 'inquire' at the Tan family's residence."

Speaking of which, the Tan family didn't even send me a gift; they're practically asking for trouble.

He couldn't remember exactly who gave him gifts, but he remembered very clearly who didn't.

Even if this operation fails, it doesn't matter. We'll just treat it as a free lunch, a chance to cause trouble and probe their intentions.

In any case, Tan Weifeng is no match for me, and if I break through my own strength, even if I only reach the fifth level of Qi Refining, I will have a chance to kill him.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

If Tan Weifeng continues to stay in prison, there's really nothing he can do.

But now—

Listening to the occasional chatter of passersby, Liang Xiao had roughly estimated that the small reflection phenomenon he had created this time should have a radius of more than 600 meters.

The radius of this small reflection of the anomaly is the range of the Destruction Needle.

The Destruction Needle was so small that it had no energy fluctuations at all, and it was so far away. Who would have thought that it was me who did it?

Of course, this is only when necessary.

Ideally, the body should be destroyed silently and without any trace.

Just like the middle-aged woman's corpse still inside her dantian.

"How dare he lay a hand on my grandfather and brother! I'll be going to university in another city soon, this man must be killed!"

...

The night is much quieter than the day.

Because evil spirits almost always appear at night.

Even though there is no curfew in the world, many people still dare not go out at night for the sake of their own lives.

Of course, there will always be people in the world who take chances.

Some people under a lot of pressure go out to relax at night after a long day of work.

So, although it was deserted, you could still occasionally see passersby, but they were mostly drunkards.

In addition, there are naturally some cultivators.

Liang Xiao walked among them without appearing out of place at all.

Because of Tan Weifeng's case, public anger was aroused, and detailed information about the entire Tan family was exposed.

So it's not hard to find at all.

More than ten minutes later, he arrived outside the Linlang residential area where the Tan family lived.

Just as he was about to use his status as the honorary law enforcement captain to enter the community, he suddenly stopped, hurriedly hid in the darkness, and tried his best to conceal his presence.

"Dad, are we really leaving?"

It was Tan Weifeng's voice.

The voice was very soft; if Liang Xiao hadn't made another breakthrough in his strength and greatly improved his hearing, he probably wouldn't have been able to hear it at all.

"This is the only way. Otherwise, if law enforcement discovers our underhanded tactics, the entire Tan family will be finished."

This is the voice of Tan Weifeng's father.

Liang Xiao, secretly observing, felt a sudden unease: What kind of underhanded trick is this? So afraid of the enforcement department, could the Tan family... be plotting a rebellion?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

I originally thought that at most there was a chance to kill Tan Weifeng, but it's probably impossible to deal with the potential threat from the Tan family.

But now, it seems like an opportunity has arrived!

An opportunity to nip it in the bud!

A sneer of schadenfreude flashed in his eyes, then he tried even harder to conceal his aura and cautiously followed behind the two men.

At the same time, he quickly sent a message to Captain Huang, recounting what he had overheard.

Captain Huang replied immediately:

[If there's a problem, I'll investigate immediately. Keep a close eye on them, but be sure to stay safe!]

On the other side, Captain Huang put away his phone, speechless. That kid actually ran to Linlang Community so quickly; he's really vengeful.

With these thoughts in mind, he quickly got to work.

I had a feeling something was off before; it seemed like there was some kind of middleman involved.

The thought that a wealthy merchant family like the Tan family might have betrayed them suddenly made sense at this moment.

There are people everywhere who are courting death!

His eyes were filled with coldness, even hatred.

"Where are my uncles and aunts?" Tan Weifeng asked.

Mr. Tan:"They will leave one after another, don't worry, Dad has made arrangements."

"It's all Liang Xiao's fault..."

Tan Weifeng gritted his teeth and said, "If it weren't for him, our family would never have fallen to this state!"

"Shut up, and it's too late to say anything now!"

Upon hearing this, Tan's father felt a faint urge to strangle his son.

If it weren't for this little brat's jealousy, the Tan family wouldn't have had to come to this point.

If this bastard weren't his own son, he would have strangled him to death.

Even setting aside the law enforcement department, they can no longer afford to offend Liang Xiao.

Because he had already received news that Liang Xiao had become an honorary law enforcement captain, and his combat power was astonishing, making him someone the Tan family could not afford to offend.

The Tan family has already incurred hatred with Liang Xiao, and Liang Xiao will inevitably target their family.

And the Tan family will be powerless to fight back!

After all, the Tan family is merely a descendant of the Glorious.

Tan Weifeng, the only cultivator at present, is not a Glory Citizen, nor is he a member of the privileged class, so he has very little say.

Therefore, from any perspective, it is necessary to move away from Changlin City.

Liang Xiao kept a distance of about a hundred meters, following Tan Weifeng and his son at a leisurely pace, while eavesdropping on their conversation.

Unfortunately, the two of them didn't say anything of importance after that.

Just then, Captain Huang's message arrived.

[Liang Xiao, keep a close eye on the Tan family father and son; this family is in deep trouble!]

Liang Xiao was overjoyed and quickly replied: [I'm keeping an eye on it. What's the big deal?]

Captain Huang:

[It's actually related to you. Because the Federation desperately needs cultivators, there's an unwritten rule: "The dead have no value, only the living have value." So the Tan family bribed someone to take action against you. You know Zhang Jiadong, right? He's the one the Tan family hired. If you die or are crippled, the Tan family can get Tan Weifeng out at a very low cost.]

Liang Xiao's eyes turned cold. So that's how it is!

He said, "Why is Zhang Jiadong causing me trouble for no reason?"

The source of emotions lies here!

Captain Huang:

[Theoretically, the Tan family should have no chance of hiring a cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining, let alone Zhang Jiadong, who was also a powerful cultivator of the Body Refinement Realm. However, the Tan family became an inside agent for the Longevity Sect during this period, in exchange for the sect's help in eliminating you.]

Liang Xiao suddenly realized something, and his eyes grew even colder.

I was so naive after all!

Captain Huang continued sending messages:

[Don't alert them yet. The Tan family might make contact with the Changsheng Sect this time. If we follow the clues, we might be able to catch some of the culprits.]

Just then, Liang Xiao suddenly noticed that the Tan family father and son had come into contact with a patrolling cultivator.

The cultivator, who was only at the first level of Qi Refining, glanced around seemingly unintentionally before leading the way.

The Tan father and son followed without making a sound.

Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he sent a message to Captain Huang:

The Tan family father and son have already met up with a patrolling cultivator.

Captain Huang:
