Chapter 225 Snatching People
The Wang family was, after all, a powerful and influential clan. Apart from the top few families that were untouchable, they were a wealthy and extravagant family who usually acted with impunity in the capital.
The man in black silk was the third son of the Wang family head, and everyone respectfully called him Third Master Wang.
He also wielded considerable power within the Wang family, representing the Wang family in communication and liaison with other prominent families in the capital. He was considered a prominent figure within the Wang family.
Such individuals exist in every family; they are often core members of the family, but lack significant potential in cultivation, thus representing their family and residing in the capital.
Living in the capital city means being suppressed by the Nine Dragons Spirit-Binding Array day and night, which would severely hinder one's cultivation.
In short, Master Wang the Third was the Wang family's glamorous figurehead in the capital, but in reality, he was just a thin board and not particularly powerful.
As for the two children standing in the courtyard today, dressed in wedding robes, they are his son and daughter, both born to his concubine, but they are his precious children.
The son was the fifth child in the family, and everyone in the Wang family called him the Fifth Young Master, because he looked the most like him.
His daughter was his only child, and he doted on her immensely.
However, the two favored children of Master Wang San have always been a major problem for him, often driving the all-powerful Master Wang to the brink of despair.
Let's start with the Fifth Prince.
This kid has the Wang family's abundant resources behind him, yet he lacks ambition and doesn't know how to utilize the Wang family's blessed land with abundant spiritual energy.
He loved to stay in the capital, a forbidden land, spending his days drinking, carousing, and mingling with brothels. He would fight with a group of wealthy young men over women, and his greatest love was lingering among the flowers.
He was a proper martial arts instructor among the prostitutes, with exceptional skills.
He's only at the level of a Steel-Dirty Grand Martial Master now, which is a disgrace to the Wang family in terms of the resources he's acquired.
The elixirs he consumed could be used to feed dogs. The dogs wouldn't have to do anything; they'd probably become dog masters by now.
Now let's talk about the little girl.
Other people's daughters are their fathers' little cotton-padded jackets.
The Third Master's daughter is like a bunch of cotton-padded jackets piled up together, and she's become a spirit.
Now, the Third Master was handsome and dignified, and his concubine was even more beautiful and charming; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to bewitch him.
However, when the Third Master was conceiving this daughter, he was attacked by a boar demon's tusk while exploring the family's secret realm to slay a demon. The tusk was poisonous.
At the time, it was thought that the poison had been expelled, but who knew that it would affect fertility and pass the poison on to the unborn daughter.
When this girl was born, everyone who saw her gasped in horror; she looked exactly like that dead pig demon.
Rumors circulated among the other masters in the Wang family who were at odds with the Third Master that the Third Master's daughter must be a reincarnated pig demon seeking revenge.
Master Wang was so angry that he beat the servant who spread the gossip to death, but there was nothing he could do. The news spread like wildfire throughout the Wang family.
The son is useless and has depleted too much of his vital energy, which he can't replenish. As a famous womanizer, he can't even dream of marrying a woman from a high-class family of equal social standing.
No family wants to marry their daughter into a living hell.
My daughter is quite easy to take care of. Apart from being able to eat and sleep well but not being good at cultivating herself and gaining dozens of pounds every year, she basically has no flaws.
However, the reputation of being a reincarnated pig demon was too evil, which frightened the young talents of other prestigious families.
Now that his children are all adults, there is still no sign of their marriages being settled, causing the Third Master to sigh deeply in worry.
Fortunately, his loyal white-haired servant Wang Fu, who had watched the Third Master grow up, offered some advice.
"Sir, there's no need to worry."
"Those who pass this year's imperial examination will surely be outstanding young talents from all over the country."
"Why don't we just find a husband for our young lady from among those listed in the imperial examinations?"
"If you marry into our family, you'll see our daughter and son-in-law every day when you open your eyes, and even your children will have the surname Wang. Isn't that wonderful?"
"There's no need to rush the young master's matter. The day the results are announced will be a lively occasion. This old servant will keep his eyes wide open and will definitely choose a beautiful, big-hipped, fertile, and skilled woman for the young master."
"In this way, when the young master is born, his innate talent will surely be exceptional. If you nurture him well, our lineage may produce a Martial Saint in the future!"
"Wang Fu, don't lie to the master. Could there really be such a good thing?"
"Sir, rest assured, leave this matter to me. I'm confident I can handle it. However, I need your approval before I can proceed, as there might be conflicts with other families!"
"Conflict? What a joke! Nothing in the world is more important than my children's marriage! Go ahead and snatch it. Even if someone comes looking for you, I'll take full responsibility!"
Master Wang San never expected his loyal servant to be so capable, exceeding expectations after just one trip.
First, let's talk about this son-in-law. He's really handsome. Even though Master Wang has seen a lot in his life, he's never seen such a good-looking man.
Of course, their own daughter is also very cute and the two are a perfect match.
Then look at this woman we captured. Wow, what a dashing woman! Her legs are longer than her life, her figure is curvaceous, and she's quite agile.
Look at my own rascal, he's a seasoned womanizer, and now his eyes are practically glued to the bridal chamber, all he can think about is the good thing that's happening.
Master Wang was just worried.
Such a good son-in-law and daughter-in-law, and they ended up in our hands?
Although the practice of "choosing a son-in-law after the imperial examination" often involved illegitimate branches of aristocratic families, the actual marriage and concubine selection of the true direct lineage involved resource exchanges between aristocratic families, and could not be taken lightly.
Therefore, those who can take action today are all aristocratic families of similar status to themselves, as long as they do not provoke Wei Jin Jie Mo or the royal family.
Master Wang was very decisive. Because the couple was so outstanding, he held the wedding banquet at his manor outside the city and sent them to their bridal chamber.
Once the die is cast, who cares who comes afterward? Can they really break it up?
The Wang family's reputation is not to be underestimated; apart from a few other families, they are truly not afraid of anyone else.
But Master Wang San never expected that his family would be come knocking on his door so quickly.
A thunderous roar came from outside, and the person who identified himself as a guest elder of the Mo family demanded that his "brothers" and "disciples" be handed over.
Master Wang was still thinking about how to delay it a little longer.
To his surprise, the other party barged in and shot him. Luckily, he dodged quickly, or he would have been nailed to the ground along with the tables and chairs.
"presumptuous……"
The loyal servant Wang Fu had already charged forward, brandishing a pair of steel whips.
Master Wang rolled over on his feet, covered in dust and dirt, but his wickedness only fueled his anger. He pulled out a halberd from his storage bag and joined the fray.
I don't care if you're the King of Heaven!
Let's fight one match first.
The three grandmasters were engaged in a chaotic battle in the courtyard.
People around hurriedly dodged; if they were grazed by the giant wave of a master's true energy, they would suffer broken bones or even die from vomiting blood.
Yang Silang rode on Daqing's back and used the Dragon Soaring and Wind-Treading Technique. His own true energy surged out and connected with Daqing's demonic energy, enveloping his body like a set of qi armor to protect him.
His bone spear had been forged by She Nu, its length adjustable, and now, when wielded, it moved like a writhing python.
He wielded a killing spear, but the essence of the spear was Du Mohu's true water element. The spear was domineering and powerful, like waves rising one after another, allowing him to fight two opponents without being at a disadvantage.
Because it happened suddenly.
Neither Master Wang San nor Wang Fu wore armor nor rode horses.
The two men, one wielding a halberd and the other wielding two whips, fought on foot to meet the enemy.
Fortunately, the two, master and servant, had worked together for many years and were very skilled. They circled around Yang Silang and attacked him, advancing and attacking in unison with practiced moves.
Although Wang Fu wielded two whips, his whip techniques were fierce and powerful, with earth-yellow true energy surging from them, creating an astonishing defensive barrier in front.
Master Wang San's halberd exudes a chilling aura, striking suddenly like a venomous snake. If it misses, he retreats. His halberd technique is simple yet unpredictable, like a gazelle hanging its horns, leaving no trace.
Although Yang Silang was alone, with the help of Daqing, his blood and qi surged and his demonic energy surged. His spear thrusts were like waves, each thrust faster than the last, and his momentum was astonishing, putting pressure on the two opponents.
In addition, Daqing was extremely fast, carrying its master as it ran through the courtyard, leaving behind trails of afterimages. One moment it was in the north, and the next it was in the south, as if it had turned around and surrounded the two members of the Wang family.
The three men aimed their weapons at vital points, and kept talking.
"Where did this barbarian come from, daring to trespass into my Wang family's villa? Has he lost his mind and gone mad?" Wang Fu shouted.
Yang Silang sneered.
"You're allowed to seize a son-in-law and abduct someone after posting the imperial edict, but I, the aggrieved party, am not allowed to come knocking on your door?"
"If you can do the first thing, why can't I do the fifteenth?"
Master Wang was furious.
"Even if you were a guest minister of the Mohist school, you should still send a formal letter and pay a visit to request an audience."
"Who just stabs someone with a gun like that?"
"Do you even know what 'family tradition's demeanor' means?"
Yang Silang shook his head.
"Don't talk to me about noble family backgrounds or manners."
"By the time I formally visit, the wedding night will probably be over!"
"I am a guest elder of the Mohist school. Will you release me or not?"
Master Wang slowed his halberd strikes, still somewhat wary of the formidable Mo family.
"You claim to be a guest minister of the Mohist school, but do you have any proof to back up your claim?"
Yang Silang reached out and took out a small ink token from the grid, tossing it into the air.
The token stood in mid-air, and the black Qilin on it seemed to come alive, its eyes sparkling as it stared at the Wang family members on the ground.
Master Wang's heart skipped a beat, and he hesitated.
Wang Fu sneered from the side.
"Who knows if this guest minister's plaque is genuine or fake?"
"You think you can just release the Wang family with a sign like that?"
Do you know how difficult it was to find this perfect couple?
"If you were a member of the Mohist school, we might have to think twice. But as a guest retainer whose true identity is unknown, you are not enough!"
Wang Fu is targeting Master Wang San.
The other party is just a guest advisor; he's not worth backing down against.
Think about it, young master and young lady, if you miss this opportunity, it will be hard to find such a suitable man and woman again.
Master Wang San understood instantly and immediately waved his hand.
"Guards, unleash a hail of arrows..."
The two retreated hastily.
By this time, servants had surrounded the area. Because the incident had happened so suddenly, and this place was originally just a separate courtyard with a small number of servants, the situation was quite different.
They managed to gather about a hundred men, who, though unarmored, were armed with spears and shields, bows and crossbows, and swords and shields.
Their actions were orderly and well-organized, surrounding the enemy in a well-structured manner, clearly demonstrating that they had practiced military tactics regularly and were among the elite troops even in the camp.
"put……"
The leader gave an order.
Dozens of crossbows were immediately pointed at Yang Silang.
Boom boom boom!
The sound of strings rose and fell.
Dozens of arrows were shot at Yang Silang from all directions.
Then after one round, another round, and yet another round, three rounds of rapid fire in a row!
