Chapter 278 Making An Example (2)
Instantly, the factions located in the Southern and Eastern Districts heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed.
Moments later, their spirits rose again and looked to the north happily, waiting for news.
…
Su Jingxing, who had changed his appearance while riding on the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf, headed straight for the Qi residence under the attention of all the major factions in the city.
Deliberately getting the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf to slow down?
That’s right, Su Jingxing had done it on purpose. Every city had city defense surveillance. To avoid being captured by the surveillance cameras, one had to be fast.
In the past, Su Jingxing used to go in and out of the city at lightning speed. The surveillance cameras couldn’t capture him at all. Even if they did, all they got was a white shadow.
He made this trip to the Qi residence so public and high-profile to get everyone watching.
The goal was simple-–to promote the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf and the big white goose.
He wanted to tell the major factions in Qinghe City that there was someone backing these two Mutated Beasts and that they should stop having ideas about them.
Su Jingxing was already in the third-grade. He did not fear any of the factions in Qinghe City.
Simply put, it was time to showcase his strength.
Now that the big white goose had been captured by the Qi Family, he could make an example out of them.
The big white goose was a Spiritual Beast, so there was basically no need to worry about it being killed.
As long as the Qi Family weren’t fools, they wouldn’t do such a thing.
Especially since the big white goose was very harmless and would almost never hurt anyone.
Su Jingxing was most worried that the big white goose would starve itself.
However, the physique of a Mutated Beast should be able to let it last for a few months, right?
As Su Jingxing pondered, the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf had already arrived above the Qi residence.
“Qi Family, Qi Mingcheng. Greetings, Senior.” A firm voice suddenly sounded.
Aah ooh-!
The Giant Silver-Winged Wolf growled lowly and stopped in midair, flapping its wings.
“Hmm?”
Su Jingxing lowered his head slightly and looked at the person who spoke. It was a middle-aged man who was standing on the roof, dressed in a martial arts uniform.
“Qi Mingcheng?”
Su Jingxing, who also had the appearance of a handsome middle-aged man, spoke coolly with his long hair fluttering and a carefree
aura.
“That’s me.” The middle-aged man, Qi Mingcheng, cupped his fists and bowed. “Please forgive us, Senior. We already know our mistakes. I beg you to give us a chance. This is the Qi Family’s apology to you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people suddenly ran over on the ground. They formed groups of two and carried boxes to the entrance of the courtyard.
After putting down the chests, they opened them to reveal their contents.
Pills, spirit herbs, energy stones, spirit weapons, and so on!
The items in the chest were actually of extraordinary value. If converted into money, they would cost at least three billion Great Yu dollars.
Su Jingxing scanned through them. He had a use for most of them.
Or rather, every martial artist in the top ranks could use these things.
This was interesting.
“What do you mean by this?” Su Jingxing asked even though he already knew the answer. He slowly released his suppression.
“This is our apolo… apology.” Qi Mingcheng braced himself and answered dryly, ignoring the sweat that was rolling down his face. “Of course, there are also people who acted. Please decide their punishment on my behalf.”
At the same time, another group of people jogged out of the house behind them.
Compared to before, this group of people were in pairs. Each pair carried a martial artist who was tied up to the entrance of the courtyard and put him down.
However, due to the suppression that Su Jingxing released, the closer they got to the entrance, the more difficult it was for them to walk.
When the dozen martial artists tied up were placed at the entrance, the others were also flushed red and covered in sweat. When they retreated, their eyes were filled with fear, and they did not dare to make a sound.
Including the dozen martial artists tied up kneeling at the entrance, their bodies were trembling.
And this was the result of Su Jingxing deliberately not releasing his suppression entirely.
As the patriarch of the Qi Family, even a fourth-grade martial artist like Qi Mingcheng couldn’t take it, let alone them.
“This… what is going on now?” Su Jingxing’s voice remained indifferent.
However, when Qi Mingcheng heard this, his heart raced. He swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty, “Senior, they are… they are the people who did the capturing. They…”
“Waa!”
A sudden cry interrupted Qi Mingcheng’s explanation.
Qi Mingcheng’s expression changed drastically.
Aah ooh!
The Giant Silver-Winged Wolf growled at the right time, its gaze fixed on the open door of a room not far away.
Two martial artists were carrying a wooden stretcher with the big white goose on it. They were running towards the entrance of the courtyard.
Behind them, a little girl was crying and shouting as she chased after them. However, after a few steps, she was stopped by two women. They picked her up, covered her mouth, and ran back into the room.
Although her cries were temporarily suppressed, Su Jingxing’s hearing was astonishing. He could still hear the conversation in the room.

“Little Mai, Little Mai, stop crying, stop crying.”
“Stop crying, do you hear me?! If you don’t want us to die, shut your mouth!”
“What are you saying? Why are you scaring Little Mai?”
“If I don’t scare her, I might not even have the chance to do so later. Same goes for you, you, and you. All of us won’t have a chance!”
“Alright, cut it out. No one expected things to come to this.”
“That’s right. Who knew that the big white goose belonged to a third-grade big shot? Now, we only hope that this third-grade powerhouse won’t take his anger out on us after taking the compensation.”
“What about Third Brother and the others? Are we just going to let them die?”
“Then what do you think we should do? Charge out and fight it out with a third-grade expert?!”
“I… I…”
III
“I want Da Bai[1], I want Da Bai. Boohoo!”
“Stop crying!”
Listening to the conversation with lowered voices in the room, Su Jingxing’s countenance remained unchanged. He waved his hand and released his true essence, turning it into true energy that wrapped around the big white goose and flew it over.
Ga ga
The big white goose quickly approached Su Jingxing. The moment it got close, it cried out in confusion.
Aah ooh!
The Giant Silver-Winged Wolf growled in time, shaking its head and grinning.
Ga ga!
The big white goose flapped its wings and came in front of Su Jingxing. It carefully sensed his aura and nodded excitedly.
Clearly, it recognized Su Jingxing. Although Su Jingxing had changed his appearance, his aura was still the same as before.
On the other hand, Su Jingxing checked the big white goose and found that other than a slight fracture on its right leg, it was fine. It even seemed to be in good spirits and was not abused or imprisoned.
“Break one leg on each of them.”
Su Jingxing spoke coolly as he held the big white goose.
“Y-yes.”
Qi Mingcheng, who was covered in sweat and did not dare to make a sound, swallowed his saliva and waved his hand to signal the people below to take action.
Su Jingxing retracted his suppression and watched as the group of people who rushed out earlier quickly ran back and rushed to the group of people kneeling on the ground, breaking one leg on every person.
Throughout the entire process, the dozen or so people who were tied up remained silent.
Even though their faces were pale and sweat was dripping down, their bodies trembling non-stop, they knew very well that if they were to scream at this critical moment, all their efforts earlier would have been in vain.
It could be said that apart from a little girl, everyone in the Qi Family was tense and fearful, not daring to reveal anything.
When Su Jingxing changed his direction and headed towards the Northern District, the Qi Family knew that Su Jingxing’s target was them.
The existence of the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf in particular directly told them that Su Jingxing had come looking for them for the big white goose.
They didn’t know if Su Jingxing was a third-grade or fourth-grade martial artist, nor did they dare to take the gamble.
Time was tight, and it was too late to retreat. All that was left was to give up resisting.
If the person who came was a third-grade martial artist, choosing to fight head-on would be the stupidest method.
On the contrary, giving up resisting might give them a slim chance of survival.
In particular, the dozen or so people who had captured the big white goose had willingly come forward, volunteering to sacrifice themselves in exchange for protecting the other members of the Qi Family.
In addition, they brought out some of the Qi Family’s treasures from the past hundred years. There was a certain chance that they could survive this calamity.
And the result did not disappoint them.
Su Jingxing only wanted one leg from each of the dozen people involved in the capturing.
The Qi Family was very sincere, so Su Jingxing naturally wouldn’t be ruthless and exterminate them.
Initially, Su Jingxing had planned to make an example out of the Qi Family, but unexpectedly, the Qi Family had chosen to give up directly.
Besides, there was a bunch of treasures, and the big white goose was not seriously injured, so Su Jingxing only gave them a simple punishment.
Killing the innocent was not his hobby, after
all.
Swish!
He grabbed all the chests from a distance and transferred them onto the back of the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf.
Su Jingxing held the big white goose and turned to leave.
Aah ooh!
With a long howl, the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf flapped its wings and flew west.
Until the man and wolf disappeared into the horizon.
Qi Mingcheng slumped on the roof, drenched.
“Finally…”
Bang!
It was also then that a gunshot suddenly broke the silence and reverberated in the air above the Qi residence.
