My beautiful CEO wife-Chapter 1706: War Begins!

Returning to Zhonghai, it was already near dusk.

"Is this okay?"

Leng Ruobing sat beside Xiao Zheng, bringing a cup of low-caffeine, skimmed mocha.

Xiao Zheng took it and drank a sip.

Hmm, neither bitter nor sweet, it’s the taste he needed now.

"There’s nothing bad about it. It’s the best choice for both me and her."

He stared at the swirling milkshake in the coffee, smiling apologetically.

"Sometimes, I feel very sorry for all of you."

Leng Ruobing chuckled like silver bells, lowered her head tenderly, resting her forehead lightly on Xiao Zheng’s broad shoulder, her right hand gently caressing the face weathered by time.

"Why say that? Xiao Ran and I are both your women. We can see how you treat us. I believe Ying’er must also understand the responsibilities and challenges you’re facing, which is why she’s temporarily leaving."

Xiao Zheng nodded, but the apologetic sorrow on his face did not diminish.

"Maybe I could have done better."

Leng Ruobing shook her head gently, her smile unmoved. The man before her never showed the softness inside to her, yet she knew no man could be completely strong.

"You can’t attend to everything perfectly. We gain some and lose some. Haven’t you said this to me before?"

She changed her posture, placing her head on Xiao Zheng’s chest, leaning against him, listening to his heartbeat.

Xiao Zheng was silent, gently caressing the soft nape of Qingsi in his embrace, his bright eyes gazing at the crescent moon rising in the evening sky, feeling a sense of melancholy.

What have I lost?

He questioned himself, unable to answer.

The next day, the sky cleared, good for battle.

The first light rose, shining from the East Sea over Shen Zhou, like a giant dragon awakening, and the monsters in Huaxia’s Martial Arts circles slowly began their steps, stagnant for days.

Long Qie and the other two stepped from the Sky Net, beginning this turbulent strategy in war.

Everyone wondered what Xiao Zheng would do, where he would strike first, what means he would use, and what kind of resistance he would encounter.

But what surprised everyone was that Xiao Zheng’s thunderous methods came so swiftly and decisively.

At Dongnan Ba Dao Manor, a man wielding a spear entered alone, slaughtering half the disciples within in the time of half a stick of incense, all elders executed, with Manor Master Liu Sheng trying to fight, but within three moves, his arms were severed by this spear-wielding man, and he was captured!

At Xiangzhou Star Sect, a man broke in bare-handed, gravely injuring Sect Master Zhuge Yu for no apparent reason, slaying half of the sect’s hundreds, leaving rivers of blood, the thunderous means!

At Qihai City’s Zhou Family, a peculiar man, handsome and with eyes almost demonic, wielding a silver-white long blade, entered. Within moments, the Zhou Family saw no survivors save women, children, and the elderly standing bewildered in pools of blood. Then, Patriarch Zhou Jin forcefully intervened, only to be sliced by this man’s wicked technique, leaving half his body, his vitality sealed and taken away!

Everyone stared blankly at the incoming news like snowflakes, each filled with suffocating bloodshed!

Undoubtedly, this was Sky Net showing its ferocious side, blatant revenge!

The news continued!

At Luoming City’s Wanjian Sect, its Sect Master’s skills reached Grandmaster Realm but couldn’t last an instant against the spear-wielding man, swiftly cut down. Then, refusing defeat, they formed the Tianyuan Sword Formation with all disciples to slay him there!

They even shouted the slogan "Act in the name of heaven!"

Yet despite it all, the spear-wielding man broke the formation with one thrust and, after that, unleashed a killing spree, leaving no trace of Wan Jian Sect, Luoming City awash with blood, unable to be cleaned for days! 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Yanzhong City’s Tao Yan Sect suffered a similar fate, all its members resisting were executed!

Chuansilu Qingxu Palace, half the palace gates were wiped out, the Palace Master captured!

Half a day passed, and half of Huaxia’s sects and families suffered devastating blows from Sky Net, centuries of accumulation ruined in an instant, everyone fearing if they’d be next!

Everyone realized the terror of Sky Net, the terror of Xiao Zheng.

The words "vehement revenge" were not mere talk!

But the massacre stopped at half of Huaxia as if the three slaughtering Killing Gods were tired.

Tian Yin looked gravely at the suddenly stopped news, his face growing darker.

He understood Xiao Zheng was demonstrating and challenging their limits.

It must be said, he succeeded.

Now the Great Sound Buddha Sect was engulfed in a chilling silence, a necessary silence in the face of such slaughter, yet the Sect hasn’t officially stated or declared anything.

"He’s forcing my hand!"

Tian Yin gritted his teeth, eyes flashing with endless killing intent.

Xiao Zheng’s thunderous methods were forcing the Great Sound Buddha Sect to act first; once they declared war on Sky Net, many things would go smoother for him, allowing him to stand on moral high ground!

This was crucial, regardless of Xiao Zheng or the Great Sound Buddha Sect, post-conflict resolution needed them to stand on moral high ground for smooth handling.

Bam!

Tian Yin slammed the wooden table before him to pieces, his eyes filled with fury, rarely angered in his long life, but now, Xiao Zheng had truly angered him.

Xiao Zheng looked coldly out the window, sensing the brewing storm, believing his actions would indeed push the self-righteous Great Sound Buddha Sect to react; once they couldn’t hold back, he could strike.

Beside him stood Long Qie and the two others, behind them were people, wounded or crippled, all captured heads of the Beidao Alliance by Long Qie.

Xiao Zheng slowly turned, staring at the trembling, silent crowd.

"Ladies and gentlemen, for most of you, this is our first meeting." Xiao Zheng paced before them, looking down upon them.

"But I believe you know me. Many among you hate me, want to kill me. I understand why you have those thoughts; it’s your freedom, not my concern. But you can only think it, never truly act on it, yet many of you did, so now you kneel while I stand."

"You tried challenging my limits, but you don’t know what fate or consequences await those who do."
