No one could believe their eyes.
A black chain, attached to an anchor, slammed hard onto the lake's surface, churning up colossal waves.
And someone was still hanging from the anchor!
"Up there, up there is, it's Brother Lang!" Zheng Tianzhi's subordinates exclaimed.
Zheng Tianzhi rubbed his eyes, dumbfounded.
The fifteen large buses braked in alarm.
Zheng Tianzhi and his men leaped out of the vehicles, only to witness the anchor fly up from the lake. Their second in command, Brother Lang, was screaming, his body already bitten by a colossal catfish!
The catfish looked like a megalodon from the sea, its terrifying maw open, swallowing half of Brother Lang's body.
"Oh no!"
"A catfish spirit!"
Zheng Tianzhi was so scared he collapsed onto the ground.
Seeing their boss prostrate himself, the thousand-plus subordinates instinctively fell down with him.
The scene was rather comical.
Qin Yexuan used his divine power to drag the giant catfish to the shore. He took a brief look and seemed disappointed, "It's still not as big as the one I fished out of Dongting Lake last time!"
Jun Mengyao watched, mesmerized, "This is the largest freshwater fish I've ever seen. Sir, how big was the fish you caught last time?"
Qin Yexuan released the giant catfish back into the water and smiled faintly, "The one last time? It was thirty-seven meters long and weighed three thousand six hundred kilograms."
Jun Mengyao covered her mouth and giggled, "Sir, you do love to joke." Sudancn.com
Qin Yexuan took out his phone and showed her a photo of Zhang.
Jun Mengyao's eyes widened.
At first glance, she thought she was mistaken, seeing a boat!
Only upon closer inspection did she realize it was indeed a giant grass carp, with Qin Yexuan standing on its back, his clothes fluttering.
It was actually true.
"This is the Azure Dragon Fish King. There's only one in Dongting Lake. It was supposed to enter the sea, but it was injured and got tangled in the lake weeds. I caught it and then released it."
Qin Yexuan said casually.
Jun Mengyao looked at him with adoration, "Congratulations, Sir, for catching another fish king in Wanchun Lake!"
"Heh, the one just now was a six-barbel catfish. It's not worth mentioning, what kind of fish king is that?" Qin Yexuan, enjoying a rare moment of leisure, smiled again, "This Wanchun Lake is brimming with spiritual energy. Look at that small island in the lake; it's not an island, but the transformation of a turtle shell. That's why I'm certain there's a true Xuanwu Tortoise Dragon in this lake!"
As he was speaking with great interest, a discordant voice came from behind him.
"Qin, my name is Zheng Tianzhi. You demolished the houses in Wanchun Town? You've provoked the wrong person, stirring up trouble under the Tai Sui's head. Are you tired of living!"
Zheng Tianzhi became arrogant again, his confidence boosted by the thousand-plus thugs behind him.
Qin Yexuan turned his head, "Zheng Tianzhi? Good timing!"
Zheng Tianzhi hunched his body, still yelling, "Today, this Wanchun Lake will be your burial ground! Guards..."
As soon as the word "guards" left his lips, a whoosh, accompanied by a piercing wind, sounded. The chain under Qin Yexuan's feet seemed to grow eyes and coiled around him!
Zheng Tianzhi struggled and turned his head to see thousands of his subordinates frozen in place, trembling.
"You, you bunch of losers, aren't you going to act?" Zheng Tianzhi shrieked.
The subordinates, however, were staring at the lake. The catfish spirit had appeared from somewhere, seemingly summoned by Qin Yexuan, its terrifying eyes fixed on them.
These uneducated thugs were terrified.
Qin Yexuan dropped the chain, already gripping Zheng Tianzhi's neck, and lifted him high.
"Your evil deeds are seen by the heavens. The suffering of Wanchun Town is all your doing. Heaven cannot tolerate you!"
"You, you dare to kill me?" Zheng Tianzhi howled, utterly disbelieving that someone would act in front of a thousand people!
Qin Yexuan, however, smiled, "Who said I was going to kill you? I'm just inviting you for a swim in the lake!"
"Ah!"
"In the lake, there's a catfish spirit in the lake!"
"How cruel!"
"I'm so scared..."
Zheng Tianzhi wet himself in fear, his pants completely soaked.
At this moment, on the opposite shore, the villagers of Wanchun Town had gathered.
They craned their necks, gleefully watching Zheng Tianzhi's plight.
*Plop!*
Zheng Tianzhi was mercilessly thrown into Wanchun Lake.
Instantly, the water churned, and the giant catfish appeared greedily. Its tail slapped Zheng Tianzhi squarely on the forehead.
Zheng Tianzhi let out a piercing scream and disappeared beneath the lake's waves in an instant.
Qin Yexuan smiled faintly, "Did you all see clearly? It wasn't me, Qin, who acted, but the catfish spirit eradicating evil for the people!"
On the shore, the villagers of Wanchun Town were kneeling all over the lakebed. They were, after all, simple, honest folk, and at this moment, they truly began to worship the catfish.
On this side of the lake, the thousand-plus thugs were dumbfounded.
Qin Yexuan clapped his hands, his eyes turning cold, "Everyone squat down and put your hands on your heads!"
His voice seemed quiet, but it resounded in everyone's ears like thunder.
Even Jun Mengyao felt her ears explode and saw stars.
*Swish, swish, swish.*
Thousands of thugs instinctively squatted, hands clasped behind their heads, their faces pale.
"I always like to finish the job completely when I do things!" Qin Yexuan's tone was icy, "But today, I'm in a good mood, so I'll give you a chance! Everyone, look up!"
Thousands of thugs instinctively raised their heads.
They were completely captivated by the demonic aura that flashed in Qin Yexuan's eyes.
Looking into his eyes, they felt as if they were falling into an endless abyss.
This was the supreme secret technique of the Demonic Sect, "Heart Control"!
Jun Mengyao trembled beside him.
If she had only been afraid of Qin Yexuan's martial prowess at the beginning, then now, she had developed an absolute sense of admiration.
Because the Heart Control technique this man displayed was something she could never cultivate in her lifetime.
"Everyone get in the buses. According to my orders, go find all of Boss Chen Hao's businesses. You like to make trouble, like to smash things, like to cause chaos, right? Then your target is Boss Chen! Including his god-sons!"
With Qin Yexuan's command, the thugs cheered and boarded the buses. The fifteen large buses sped towards Chudu City.
Qin Yexuan was very satisfied; his old methods were slowly returning.
Although he had been living in seclusion in Jiangcheng for the past few years, his heaven-reaching skills had not diminished.
Turning to look at the dazed Jun Mengyao, he smiled softly, "Did you see clearly the method I just used?"
Jun Mengyao swallowed, "Sir, are you... an elder of the Demonic Sect?"
Qin Yexuan smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying.
"Sir, why are you showing me this?" Jun Mengyao pressed.
Qin Yexuan still smiled, offering no explanation.
Jun Mengyao couldn't understand him at all, only feeling genuine reverence and admiration.
In fact, Qin Yexuan had given her countless opportunities during this period.
The fact that he had spared her life several times was a sign of his appreciation for her potential.
In the past, disciples like Li Tianxing, Lie Yuanzun, and General Xiao Zhan were all subdued in this manner.
However, Lie Yuanzun and the others were mortals, and Qin Yexuan did not want them involved in the conflicts of the hidden clans.
Therefore, a Demonic Sect disciple like Jun Mengyao, who had gone astray, might be able to exert even greater combat power if trained properly.
It all depended on future opportunities. This girl had fallen too deep into demonic ways, and now was not the time.
"Let's go, we'll go find that town mayor and his brother-in-law. It's time to settle matters in Wanchun Town!"
