My wife and I had no other thoughts at that moment; we only wanted to help our newly adopted brother rescue his family and reunite them.
"Wife, after the rescue, you take the others and retreat immediately. I'll hold off the pursuers. Then you go back to the small town and go to the Martial Alliance with Lianhua and Meng Qing. I'll come find you later," I whispered to my wife.
My wife looked at me with worry but said nothing.
Because she knew I wasn't asking for her opinion, but rather informing her of my decision.
This is the most effective approach right now, because we both know that Lang Ruohai definitely has an ambush planned, and he's confident that, with my wife and me protecting him, he can kill Lang Qing.
He might even be confident that my wife and I will be caught as well.
If my strength hadn't increased so much, my wife would never have agreed to let me go to rescue him. In her heart, I'm far more important than Lang Qing, her younger brother and lover, and his family.
Speaking of strength, I now understand my situation.
I'm currently in a special stage, the limit of the peak of the Innate Realm—the last stage before breaking through to the Perfect Innate Realm. Most peak Innate Realm cultivators don't reach this level even after a thousand years.
At this level, one can achieve a preliminary harmony with heaven and earth. In battle, one has almost complete insight into the opponent's condition, giving one an absolute advantage against ordinary peak Innate Realm cultivators.
The ten greatest masters of our time, such as Lu Xiangzhong, Xiaoyaozi, Hei Wujing, and Li Jun'ao, are all at this level.
Of the current ten greatest masters, only Liang Cheng of the World Society hasn't reached this level yet. My strength has actually surpassed Liang Cheng's, making me fully qualified to be among the ten greatest masters.
This is all what Lang Qing told me, because his father, Lang Ruotian, had told him these things before.
Slowly approaching the clearing in the center of the woods, the heart of the ambush, Lang Qing's mother and sister were bound there, their pressure points sealed.
I glanced at them briefly and noticed they were both exceptionally beautiful.
They looked about 70% alike, though Lang Qing's mother appeared more mature.
Their faces were haggard, clearly showing signs of recent abuse, further evidenced by the small undergarments they wore and the lingering semen between their legs.
However, their eyes showed no sign of submission; their resolute gaze filled me with awe, completely erasing my earlier wicked intentions.
Upon seeing the two people in the open space, Lang Qing was filled with excitement. After asking for my opinion, he immediately rushed towards them, shouting, "Mother! Sister!"
Lang Qing's shouts reached the ears of the two women, who had their heads bowed. They immediately looked up, their eyes initially filled with excitement upon seeing Lang Qing, but this was quickly replaced by anxiety and fear.
"Qing'er (little brother), run! There's an ambush!" they shouted in unison.
Lang Qing completely ignored their shouts. He quickly ran to their side and began untying them.
"Hahahaha... Too late! You can't escape now!" a somewhat familiar, arrogant, and boastful voice shouted.
After this voice rang out, a group of figures appeared before us.
We looked towards the source of the voice and saw Lang Yun's utterly detestable face standing before us.
Beside him was a middle-aged man who bore a resemblance to him.
Compared to the middle-aged man, Lang Yun was utterly incompetent, his纨绔 (wán kù, a spoiled, dissolute young man) image completely exposed.
The middle-aged man stared at my wife and me after he appeared, his eyes full of calculation.
Besides the middle-aged man, four other people who couldn't be ignored came into our view.
These four were all at the peak of the Innate Realm, two men and two women.
One couple exuded a strong sword intent, clearly skilled swordsmen.
The other couple gave off a repulsive feeling, like venomous snakes.
The man was strong and tall, the woman extremely alluring, dressed unusually provocatively and seductively.
"Young Master Long, Young Madam, why bother with the affairs of our Water Alliance? Don't end up getting yourselves killed in the process."
The middle-aged man was clearly the leader of this group, speaking calmly.
However, despite his advantage, he couldn't hide the smugness in his words.
At this point, we knew things couldn't be resolved peacefully. My wife and I frantically calculated our escape route, while also giving the mother and daughter, who had just secretly consumed the elixir, time to recover.
I replied, "Oh? You're confident you can keep my wife and me here? Don't end up hurting yourselves!"
"Dad! Why waste words with them? There are so many of us, let's just kill Lang Qing. Protector Xiong hasn't had enough of my aunt and cousin yet, has he? We'll let you have your fill later. Hehe! Yun Yuxin is for you to play with first, Dad, and then she'll be yours. As for Long Tianxiang, let Elder Hua have his fun! Elder Hua hasn't even had a chance with such a handsome man, has he?"
Lang Yun said with a lewd grin, completely treating us like lambs to the slaughter.
We had no interest in saying anything to him, and secretly glanced at the two women, who had mostly recovered after their meditation.
Lang Qing's mother's name was Pan Yushan, and his older sister's name was Lang Xiaoxiao; this was common knowledge in the martial arts world.
After recovering, they glared at Lang Ruohai with hatred.
Upon hearing Lang Yun's words, Lang Xiaoxiao immediately cursed, "Lang Yun, you beast! All that pampering I did for you before, and you actually..." She trailed off, unable to continue, her face contorted in pain.
"My dear cousin, it's precisely because you pampered me so much that I served you well with my big cock! Every time, I fucked you until you screamed and climaxed repeatedly! Not only did I serve you myself, but I also brought my friends and servants to serve you. I made you feel heavenly in front of your husband, letting that pathetic little-cocked man see what a man is! How can you be angry, cousin? If it weren't for us, you probably would never have known what an orgasm is!"
Lang Yun said, leering at Lang Xiaoxiao.
Hearing Lang Yun's words, Lang Xiaoxiao was so angry she almost fainted. She was about to rush forward, but Pan Yushan stopped her.
"Miss Lang, don't be angry. Can you get angry with someone like this? We know a dog bites, but can a person go after a dog?" his wife shouted at Lang Xiaoxiao.
After his wife finished speaking, Lang Yun angrily cursed, "What the hell did you say? You slut who got pregnant by Pang Xing, if I catch you, I'll have you gang-raped a hundred times!"
"Oh~~~~ You won't come yourself? Is your dick too small, afraid it can't serve me? If you're so capable, come on up now, my cunt will turn your dick into a dead snake in three minutes."
His wife lifted her skirt, revealing her completely exposed cunt, looking at Lang Yun with contempt.
Then she vigorously wiggled her large, exposed buttocks.
Faced with his wife's provocation, Lang Yun, this arrogant and domineering playboy, didn't dare to come over at all, and glared fiercely at his wife.
