Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 239: Chapter 239: No One Can Save Him Today

Liu Daoban’s eyes went wide as he stared, watching helplessly as Qin Tianxuan walked out of the isolation cell.

His arrogant voice died abruptly.

’This... This is impossible!’

’Is he even human?’

He rubbed his eyes frantically. ”Did I... Did I drink too much?”

But his gang of cronies were perfectly sober, and they were all frozen in terror.

Qin Tianxuan was already standing before Liu Daoban!

”Ah Xue is my dearest sister!” Qin Tianxuan said, word by word, his eyes savage. ”She saved my life when we were children, and I swore I would never let her be harmed again! And you dared to burn her?”

Liu Daoban took a step back and bellowed, ”Kill him!”

There was no movement behind him.

His cronies were scrambling to get away.

’What a joke. The guy punched straight through a steel door. How are we supposed to fight that?’

’Kill him? More like he’s going to kill us!’

’Holy shit!’

Liu Daoban panicked too.

Just then, a dozen or so cars rushed into the courtyard.

A group including the Governor of Jin City, Zhao Shanhe, had arrived.

”Sir, please show mercy!” Zhao Shanhe shouted the moment he got out of his car and saw the scene inside the station, a shiver running down his spine.

”Ah, Uncle Zhao!” Liu Daoban cried out in ecstasy. ”You’re just in time.”

Liu Daoban had already run outside.

Qin Tianxuan didn’t stop him, slowly following him out.

Zhao Shanhe hurried over and bowed deeply. ”Your subordinate, Zhao Shanhe, greets you, Sir. I just received Lord Wutian’s orders...”

Before he could finish, Qin Tianxuan cut him off. ”Liu Daoban calls you ’Uncle.’ What’s your relationship?”

Beads of sweat formed on Zhao Shanhe’s forehead. ”I... I am sworn brothers with his father. Sir, please listen to me, you can’t touch this man!”

’Oh? I can’t touch him?’

Qin Tianxuan’s eyes flashed. ”I’ll give you thirty seconds. Explain to me why I can’t touch him.”

Zhao Shanhe leaned in and lowered his voice. ”Liu Daoban’s older brother is Liu Huaxia, the Chief Instructor of the Xingtian Martial Arts Arena. He’s also a trusted confidant of the Southern Domain’s leader, Luo Qilin. If you touch Liu Daoban, you’ll be offending...”

Qin Tianxuan cut him off again. ”I’m not satisfied with that explanation. You have twenty seconds left. Reorganize your thoughts and tell me again why I can’t touch him.”

Zhao Shanhe was dumbfounded. ”Your subordinate doesn’t understand.”

’You don’t understand?’

Qin Tianxuan sneered savagely. ”You say I can’t touch him because you’re close with the Liu Family. You’re all cut from the same cloth, so you’re pleading for this piece of trash, aren’t you? Luo Qilin’s confidant? The Chief Instructor of the Martial Arts Arena? So what!”

His voice suddenly boomed as he berated Zhao Shanhe. ”It looks to me like Jin City is rotten from top to bottom! And you still say I can’t touch him? I’m making a declaration here and now: no one can save this piece of trash!”

With a single sentence, Qin Tianxuan had seen right through Zhao Shanhe’s intentions.

He had been in Jin City for many years and had long since become corrupt.

Pleading for Liu Daoban now was also a way to protect himself.

But Zhao Shanhe remained unconvinced. ”Sir, I have a general idea of your identity. I am one of Lord Wutian’s subordinates, and I’ve never met you. So, if you’ll forgive my bluntness, neither Liu Huaxia nor Luo Qilin are people we can afford to provoke. You’ve already retired, so you should stop stirring up trouble!”

SMACK!

Zhao Shanhe was still running his mouth, spittle flying, when a heavy slap caught him completely off guard, sending him stumbling backward!

Zhao Shanhe and his men from Jin City flew into a panic and rushed forward. ”What are you doing? What do you think you’re doing?”

Qin Tianxuan scoffed coldly. ”You’re trying to tell me what to do? It’s a good thing you’ve never met me before. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have survived to this day!”

His tone was utterly direct, his eyes savage. ”I’ll say it again: not even the Celestial King himself could save this Liu Daoban!”

Zhao Shanhe retreated, clutching his face, his expression darkening. ”You’re retired, yet you’re still so arrogant. Wasn’t I doing this for your own good? Someone, get the Liu Family over here to negotiate!”

Liu Daoban’s family was powerful and influential. Having already received word, they arrived together.

A middle-aged man led the group. After arriving and asking about the situation, he approached with an air of arrogance. ”I don’t care who you are. My brother hurt your sister, but it’s not a big deal. Go on, name your price. How much money do you want?”

Qin Tianxuan completely ignored him.

He simply took out his phone and slowly made a call. ”Jin City! Special-Grade Operation! Target: the Liu Family!”

The moment this order was issued, all personnel of the Night Emperor received it!

In an instant, the world turned upside down!

After so many years, perhaps these people had forgotten what a ”Special-Grade Operation” from the Northern Domain Night Emperor truly meant!

In less than half an hour, Jin City was already in the throes of a frantic transformation.

The Five Great Silver Alliances were the first to act!

At that moment, the Liu Family members were still gathering various parties to negotiate with Qin Tianxuan.

”We know you’re some kind of big shot from the Battle Department, but this territory is under the control of the Southern Domain’s leader, Luo Qilin. And Liu Huaxia of the Xingtian Martial Arts Arena is the Patriarch of our Liu Family!”

The Liu Family member said with a cold smile, ”You’d better think carefully about who really calls the shots around here!”

Qin Tianxuan stood up and smiled faintly. ”So you think money can solve this? That you can just pay for injuring someone? Fine. Liu Daoban burned my sister, so I’ll burn him, and then I’ll pay you!”

’Fuck!’

’So there’s no room for negotiation?’

The Liu Family members exchanged glances, preparing to resort to force.

Just then, a Liu Family member burst in from outside, his face ashen. ”It’s bad! It’s terrible! Something catastrophic has happened to our family!”

Huh?

What?

Before they could even react, their phones started buzzing nonstop.

”The Liu Family... All of the Liu Family’s accounts with the Five Great Silver Alliances have been frozen!”

”All of our business dealings with the Battle Department have been suspended!”

”Liu Huaxia at the Xingtian Martial Arts Arena was just dismissed from his post!”

”The Liu Family’s properties in the Imperial Capital and Jiangnan have all been seized!”

...

One piece of devastating news after another struck the Liu Family right where it hurt the most.

The entire area fell deathly silent.

Qin Tianxuan, however, sat back down, tapping his fingers on the table. ”I’ll give you another chance to choose your words. Come now, let’s continue our negotiations!”
