Chapter 357

357 SU MENQI’S ARRIVAL, RETURNING TO THE THUNDER ACADEMY

Li Meng was busy the next few days hiring a lot of mercenaries. After a strict examination, he managed to hire around 100 people that were capable enough to join their group. Most of the members were in the intermediate QI king level, with a quarter being in the advanced Qi King level.

“How are we going to control these mobs. They would pounce on the chance to hog power within the organization as soon as you leave.”

“Su Menqi isn’t as weak as you think her to be. She can easily fight with a peak Qi King with her strength. If she is absolutely into the fight, a first stage Qi emperor isn’t out of the question. But I do understand your point of view. I have decided to control them.”

“Please tell me you are not thinking about using soul energy bugs on them.”

“I am just trying to control the top-ranked official. The ones I am thinking of recruiting are the very powerful advance QI Kings. I will force each of them into a soul contract that they would never be able to violate.”

“And how are you going to force them?”

“Either by a carrot or a stick. I prefer the stick idea though.”

“Of course you do.”

“What about the other powers who might want to annex you?”

.....

“The mercenaries, once perfectly controlled y me will be accompanying me to carry out an elimination.”

“Who are you looking to eliminate?”

“every single person who is beneath the Qi King realm within the various organization. I am going to hunt mostly the intermediate Qi Kings of various powers and once it is done, I will hand the organization over to Su Menqi. We are going to operate from the shadows, by first using the merchant guild to establish a small shop.”

“Once the intermediate Qi Kings are killed, not only will we have their possessions which will be working as the capital to sustain the group, but also, the organization would be busty assigning huge amount fo tasks to the remaining members. It will ensure that they don’t have time to keep an eye on this place.”

“But what if they come to know that you were behind all this?”

“that is the exact reason why I want to control the most powerful quarter within my force. Once they are under my control, they will help me control most of the group. The gaps within the management can be filled by forcing the weaker ones to do the killing, making them unable to report the matter to any of the authorities.”

“So the strongest are controlled by you. They in turn control the middle order, and the weakest order is the true killers of the enemy and hence their betrayal would lead to their death. A good chain of power would be established in this way.”

“I hope the power so established gives enough time to Su Menqi to have proper growth. Although her task isn’t as difficult as Seng Luo, she would be facing the wrath of multiple power emperors if the matter is discovered. The risk comes with a huge reward of gaining sovereignty over the Water-Mist village.”

“It is the only way I want her to raise her force If I help her carry out the revenge, it will be meaningless. If she truly wants to fulfill her goals and rise to the top, she needs to put in her efforts. I have already facilitated her with a lot of help by obtaining the frost spring and helping her break through the Qi King level. If she couldn’t even pass this small test, she is worthless to me.”

“You don’t even consider you lover to e out of the objectifying point of view. Being her man, you need to look out for her.”

‘I am not her slave, neither her caretaker. She needs to gain her power if she wants to stay beside me. I wouldn’t mind leaving her behind if she couldn’t be of any use to me. The path of Dominance doesn’t allow burdens to walk beside the master.”

The Nether King’s lives which Li Meng had experienced had made a deep impact on him. He learned a lot of things and managed to grow new perspectives for the things around him. He knew that each time the scenario tends to move towards the same direction until eventually, the protagonist managed to rise to the very top.

He can’t let his will falter and we soft on anyone, even the woman who he might be in love with. He had provided a lot of assistance to her. What is next was up to her efforts and understanding. He wanted to concentrate on the next phase of the body tempering realm.

Li meng went around the town ad battled with the mercenaries. The top players were immediately injected with a soul bug which made them Li meng’s slaves. After that, each of the mercenaries was given the time they need to assemble the next day to carry out the purge which LI meng had planned on. The purge began at the earliest hour the next day.

The first people to be killed were those of the merchant guilds. It took a lot of time, but the group managed to kill a lot of intermediate and beginner level QI Kings by the time the morning came. The news would create a huge storm within the whole village and Li meng wanted to compete for his plans before the news got out.

The next target was the independent organization that ruled a small region near the village. This was a tiring job since these groups were mostly comprised of advanced-level Qi Kings. They require a thorough purge of these men and some people were taken in as slaves by Li Meng.

His force was not only cleaning the hidden obstacles for the future but also growing in numbers. It was around the night of the next day that the news of so many people being killed had spread throughout the village.

Not only were the merchant organizations the victims, but also many of the bandit and independent cultivator’s bases outside Water-mist village had been cleared. A huge storm engulfed the whole village, as they had never encountered such a huge massacre in a single day. It was around the next day morning that news o more people dying came out.

..............

“Su Menqi is already halfway through the path. Is this the end of the purge?”





“There is still a group of people remaining which I need to clear.”

“Who are they?”

“The major powers within the water-mist village. Tomorrow is going to be the main show as they need to not only kill the people but also frame them for murder.”

Li Meng’s group had already increased by another 50 advance rank Qi Kings who were Li Meng’s slaves. He was planning the last attack before completely going silent within the region.

.................

The next day-

“The plan should be clear to all of you. Our task is to kill the intermediate and beginner level Qi Kings of various forces and frame the other forces around them as the perpetrators. You will not be killing people from the framed forces as that will arose suspicion between the groups.”

The men nodded before leaving in a different direction. Another purge took place. The planning was so intricate that Li Meng’s men had to waste an hour after the killing just to from the other groups.

Finally, night drew in as Li Meng sat on the roof of his house awaiting the arrival of Su Menqi. Soon enough two figures began to appear at the edge of the horizon, and Li Meng got up to greet them.

It was time to return to the Thunder Academy.
