Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

On the southern peak, the solemn expressions on everyone’s faces dissolved, giving way to joy—Lin Mo had won!

On the northern peak, the people from the Qu Family looked as if they were mourning the death of their ancestors, even with Song Ge and the three Basic-level Martial God Strong Persons, no one could stop Lin Mo—who else could?

The people from the Qu Family on the northern peak and the wealthy tycoons of Jiangzhou were sweating cold sweat.

As for the Martial Arts Grandmasters and Martial Venerates they had hired as bodyguards, in the face of Lin Mo, they probably couldn’t even withstand a single move. This is what real power was, possessing the strength to grant life or death, what is wealth, power, or fame? In front of a Flying Sword, all were illusory.

The Qu Family had hired someone like Song Ge, a Basic-level Martial God Strong Person, to take action, but today, all had been slain by Lin Mo upon the Li River.

”Dad, what do... what do we do now?”

”What to do? Get out of here!”

Qu Huaxu shouted sternly, without a hint of hesitation, as he and the people of the Qu Family fled from the Li River one after another.

Seeing this, Yingzi’s expression turned cold as she asked, ”Master, do you want me to chase after them?”

”No need, I’ve said that by nine o’clock today, I’ll take the lives of those ringleaders from the Qu Family. What time is it now?”

”Around eight twenty.”

”Let’s go, to the Qu Family!”

Lin Mo, with his hands behind his back, was not at all worried about the Qu Family’s people escaping. His upright and peerless figure, like that of an Immortal, strolled towards Sunset Mountain with a calm demeanor.

After killing, Lin Mo did not chase after Qu Huaxu and the others to finish them off, but walked away with his hands behind his back. However, it was clear to everyone, given Lin Mo’s personality, that the likes of Qu Huaxu probably wouldn’t survive, and this could even be the greatest disaster the Qu Family had faced in a hundred years!

Ten minutes later.

Inside the Qu Family’s villa, all the core members of the Qu Family had gathered, each with a grim expression, tinged with a trace of frostiness.

”Big brother, what do we do now?” Qu Zhengye, looking distraught, was restless whether sitting or standing.

After pondering for a moment, Qu Huaxu’s mouth twitched sharply as he spoke in a deep voice, ”At this point, we can only ask the Old Master to step in.”

”Right, with the Old Master’s status in Jiangzhou, if he steps in, perhaps Lin Mo wouldn’t dare to do anything to us,” Qu Zhengye clapped his hands and said forcefully.

”This time we thought it was just a minor issue and didn’t want to trouble the Old Master to get involved. After all, the Old Master is getting on in years, and we didn’t want him to worry. Moreover, there are many families in Jiangzhou eyeing our Qu Family, but now faced with this situation, we can only ask the Old Master to step in,” Qu Huaxu sighed, his voice cold and heavy.

Qu Family’s Old Master was stationed in a military area in Jiangzhou, the most authoritative figure in the Qu Family. In his youth, he had fought wars and been a commander, his students and subordinates spread throughout various departments. Every year at the Qu Family’s annual gathering, students from all over would come to visit, with no fewer than five majors in attendance—a true super-wealthy family.

”We have no choice but to do this for now, first send someone to talk to that Lin Mo, to see if we can reconcile?” Qu Huaxu thought for a moment, then said with a barely audible voice.

Qu Zhengye’s eyes widened as he shouted loudly, ”Big brother, Lin Mo has killed several of your sons, and we still want to reconcile with him?”

”Have you lost your mind? Do you really think our Qu Family is invincible in this world? Since the Old Master, has the Qu Family produced anyone of significance? Now, even the three basic-level Martial God experts we invited have been killed by Lin Mo. Do you really think the Old Master would send any more powerful fighters for this matter, or use his own status, to pursue a fight to the death with Lin Mo?” Qu Huaxu cursed angrily.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Qu Family lowered their heads, and Qu Zhengye dared not say another word.

Lin Mo’s dominance over the Qu Family spread rapidly across the major families of Jiangzhou after the battle on Li River, but these secret details were only known to the top-tier families. As for everyone else, they were merely catching at straws, only hearing the name ”Mr. Lin” but not knowing what Mr. Lin actually looked like.

Although the Qu Family had stood in Jiangzhou for a century and had assets exceeding a hundred billion, the majority of this wealth was in the hands of the Family Head.

But now, they found themselves suppressed by a youngster from Shu Province, unable to raise their heads, and three basic-level Martial God Realm experts had fallen consecutively.

How could the Qu Family not be anxious and afraid?

The Qu Family mansion was built by the lakeside amidst mountains and water, the whole estate spanning roughly a dozen acres. There were no other residences around, only a straight, fifty-meter-wide concrete road connected to the city streets, alongside which stood centennial ginkgo trees, majestic and imposing.

In front of the mansion stood two stone lions each over three meters tall, magnificent and lifelike. Each of these stone lions weighed two tons, and since ancient times, well-to-do families used stone lions to ward off evil spirits and protect their homes.

Some of Jiangzhou’s tycoons and big shots from the underworld gathered around the mansion at this moment, all wanting to see just how Lin Mo would handle the Qu Family. After all, the Qu Family was a century-old household, and Lin Mo, having killed three Martial God Strong Persons, showed no hesitation, but the Qu Family had significant influence in both military and political spheres. To lightly provoke the Jiangzhou Qu Family could lead to unthinkable consequences.

”I say, at most that kid will talk things over with the Qu Family, let them apologize to him. He wouldn’t dare really move against the Qu Family, could Mr. Tao Tian from Jiangzhou stay still if he did?”

”Not necessarily. I was there yesterday, Mr. Lin seemed like a Divine Being, slaying three top experts in succession. His temperament is ruthless; I think he won’t let the Qu Family off easily.”

Meanwhile, inside a Mercedes-Benz van, a man in a black suit with a bald head received a call, then comfortably reclined in the driver’s seat. Beside him lay a woman in her early twenties, dressed in a cheongsam and with curled hair, who rested on his body and softly said, ”Master Tang, is that Mr. Lin they’re talking about really that formidable? I think it’s just everyone blowing his deeds out of proportion. He might have killed three Martial God Level experts, but I doubt he would dare to truly act against the Qu Family.”

This Master Tang, named Tang Peng, was a big shot in the underworld of Jiangzhou. His grandfather had even once mixed with Du Yuesheng in Hong Kong before fleeing to Jiangzhou after the war to create a vast underground influence. Needless to say, he was entwined with many wealthy individuals.

It was even said in Jiangzhou, ”Master Tang takes a cut of all business in Jiangzhou!”

What did that mean? All businesses were deeply connected to him. Tang Peng had once been dubbed a ’super invisible tycoon’ by the Hurun Wealth Report of 15 years ago.

”I’m not afraid of the Jiangzhou Qu Family, but I do have to be wary of their Old Master. Otherwise, how could it be their turn to rule Jiangzhou over these years?” Tang Peng said indifferently, playing with two wooden walnuts in his hand.

”Master Tang, why don’t you take Mr. Lin under your wing? Then all of Jiangzhou will be yours,” the woman suggested seductively, her eyes like silk as she gazed at Tang Peng before her.

Having just returned from a business trip out of province, Tang Peng hadn’t been to Sunset Mountain’s Li River to witness the earth-shattering battle himself. He stroked his chin, contemplating, and said, ”What you said makes sense. These Martial Arts Experts may have skills, but in the end, aren’t they all for women and money? If I can bring him under my command, with another super War General, no one will dare underestimate me.”

”Let’s go take a look at the Qu Family; if we happen to meet some notable figure, ask if they’re Mr. Lin and have them come over,” Tang Peng waved his hand, instructing a subordinate.

At that moment, on the road, was an outstanding young man with a cool demeanor and hands in pockets, strolling nonchalantly towards the Qu Family’s mansion.

(Good night, everyone.)
