My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 185 - 183: Vicious Methods

"Stop right there!"

"Stop, I said!"

"Where do you think you're running to!"

...

Chasing shouts came from behind; it was the disciples of the Yin Yang Sect closing in.

Gao Fei's expression darkened. Before he was injured, he could have easily wiped out the disciples of the Yin Yang Sect with a mere flick of his finger, but now... His injuries were too severe, and he had almost lost the ability to fight back...

A phrase suddenly flashed through Gao Fei's mind: A tiger, when brought low to the plains, falls prey to dogs!

As the disciples of the Yin Yang Sect got closer, a surge of anger welled up inside Gao Fei. If the tiger does not show its might, you really think I'm a sick cat, huh! Even if it means I can't leave bed for months, I'll slaughter you all today!

Having said that, Gao Fei halted his steps, looked up to the heavens, eyes sparking with intensity, and began to execute the secret technique that could enhance his strength.

This secret technique was recorded in the Demon God Heritage. Gao Fei had used it once before, and it could increase his strength by thirty percent for the duration of an incense stick's burning. He must end the battle within that time, or he would suffer greatly.

Because using such a secret technique comes with severe consequences: at best, one may be bedridden for months; at worst, one's cultivation might be lost, becoming a cripple. In the worst-case scenario, it could even cost a life, so unless absolutely necessary, it's best not to use this secret technique.

Frankly, this secret technique is all about stimulating the body's potential to enhance one's strength.

Gao Fei had named this technique "Potential Secret Technique," a very fitting name.

"Heaven and earth, dark and yellow; the universe, vast and boundless! Above and below, only I am supreme!"

Gao Fei slowly recited the incantation of the secret technique.

A robust breath of Qi exploded from him...

"Whoosh!"

A large hammer appeared in Gao Fei's hand: "You all can go to hell!" Gao Fei swung the hammer and charged at the disciples of the Yin Yang Sect.

...

Yin Yang Sect.

In the Sect Leader's private resting room.

Xiong Batian slowly opened his eyes, a glimmer of sharp light fleeting by: "After taking the healing pills, the internal injuries have finally been suppressed. Just a few more days of rest and I'll be fine."

"Master!"

The voice of Dongfang Jian came from outside the door.

"Come in," Xiong Batian waved his hand, and the tightly closed door automatically opened.

"Master..." Dongfang Jian hurried in, his expression one of urgency: "Gao Fei has escaped, and he has also killed or injured many disciples."

"What?" Xiong Batian stood up abruptly, glaring at Dongfang Jian: "How could this happen? Gao Fei was seriously injured, how could he still have the strength to fight back..."

"We may have underestimated Gao Fei," said Dongfang Jian with a wry smile: "He was hiding his strength..."

"Underestimate?" Xiong Batian's expression darkened: "If Gao Fei is not dead, we can forget about peaceful days." After one encounter, Xiong Batian was full of wariness and even fear of Gao Fei.

Dongfang Jian nodded emphatically: "Master is right, we must eliminate Gao Fei."

"The key issue is..." Xiong Batian frowned: "Gao Fei is injured and will definitely hide to recover. Finding him... will be difficult..." It's very hard for others to find a cultivator in the Inedia Stage who is determined to stay hidden.

"That is indeed a problem..." Dongfang Jian pondered for a moment, then a fierce light flashed in his eyes: "I do have an idea..."

"What is it?" Xiong Batian asked eagerly.

"We can target Gao Fei's relatives," Dongfang Jian suggested his plan: "Threaten Gao Fei with his family to force him to show himself."

"Relatives?" Xiong Batian was taken aback, then nodded: "Hmm, that is a strategy we could try... Dongfang Jian, this matter is yours to handle. Make sure it's done cleanly and don't stir up trouble."

"Understood, I'll take care of it now," Dongfang Jian turned and strode away.

Xiong Batian walked to the door, looking at the setting sun in the distance and murmured to himself: "Gao Fei is a formidable enemy! He must be eliminated! We must prevent him from growing further!"

...

In a damp, dark cave.

A figure lay on the ground, curled up, pale-faced and shivering. Upon closer inspection, it was Gao Fei.

After using the "Potential Secret Technique" to repel the enemies, Gao Fei had quickly left the scene. Then he found this cave to take refuge. His location was very close to the Yin Yang Sect, merely dozens of miles away. The most dangerous place can be the safest. He chose this particular place to deceive the Yin Yang Sect.

"These injuries are severe indeed," he lamented.

"I've never been this badly injured before in my life."

"True Qi depleted, meridians damaged, and several bloody holes pierced through by Sword Qi all over the body, bleeding a large basin of blood... not even having the strength to stand up."

"First get a good sleep, then start healing slowly after regaining enough spirit."

"Once I recover my strength, I'll take revenge! Kill Xiong Batian and Dongfang Jian, and then destroy the Yin Yang Sect!"

...

Gao Fei was not a man with a magnanimous heart; he held grudges. Anyone who dared to provoke him would receive a tenfold, hundredfold payback from him.

A moment later, Gao Fei fell into a deep sleep; he was indeed exhausted.

This sleep lasted three days and nights. Upon waking up, he began healing, a lengthy process. The injuries were so severe that recovery could not be completed in a short time.

The Demon God Heritage recorded several incantations for rapid healing, and without hesitation, Gao Fei applied them to himself, speeding up his healing quite a bit.

...

Dongfang Jian, accompanied by several henchmen, arrived at Gao Fei's hometown. He was targeting Gao Fei's parents, planning to capture them as hostages to threaten Gao Fei.

"What? They've already moved away?" Dongfang Jian's face turned extremely unsightly: "Damn it, Gao Fei is quite cautious, having moved his parents early on! Since we can't find Gao Fei's parents, we'll capture his relatives! Anyone who is even slightly related, I want them all captured!"

Within days, many people disappeared, all of whom had one thing in common—they were related to Gao Fei.

In the end, Dongfang Jian even captured several women: Su Xiaorou, Ouyang Lan, Shen Caidie, Liu Mengyao, and Meng Xiaoyu. These five women all had connections with Gao Fei and would surely be effective for threatening him.

After capturing the people, Dongfang Jian returned directly to the Yin Yang Sect.

"Master, the people have been captured," Dongfang Jian reported. "Aside from Gao Fei's parents, we've brought the rest here, about dozens of them."

"Gao Fei's parents weren't captured?" Xiong Batian frowned.

"Gao Fei is quite cunning, having moved his parents long before, and after searching for several days, I still couldn't find them..." Dongfang Jian said.

"Indeed cunning!" Xiong Batian nodded. "No parents... just some small fry captured, can they even threaten Gao Fei?"

"They should be able to," Dongfang Jian nodded. "Unless Gao Fei is a cold-blooded animal, he will definitely show up."

"Spread the word, saying Gao Fei's relatives and friends are all at the Yin Yang Sect. If he wants them to live, let Gao Fei come alone in exchange."

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."

...

Inside a narrow room.

Five women were imprisoned, their hands and feet bound, all of them quite beautiful.

From left to right, they were Su Xiaorou, Ouyang Lan, Shen Caidie, Liu Mengyao, and Meng Xiaoyu. Gao Fei would never have dreamed that these five women would meet under such circumstances.

"Creak!"

The door was pushed open, and Dongfang Jian swaggered in, "Hello, ladies." He glanced over the women and finally rested his gaze on Su Xiaorou's face: "Su Xiaorou, haven't seen you for months, you seem to have lost weight."

"Hmph!"

Su Xiaorou turned her head away, showing no interest in dealing with Dongfang Jian.

"Still such a fiery temper," Dongfang Jian laughed. "I like women like you! Originally, we were quite a good pair, but it all got ruined in the end by Gao Fei, that bastard..." Dongfang Jian's expression turned fierce: "Listen up, Su Xiaorou, if Gao Fei doesn't show his face, I'll kill you! And you all!" Dongfang Jian gestured towards the other women: "If Gao Fei doesn't appear, you all will die!

Simply put, you're all implicated by Gao Fei; he provoked me and then hid, not showing his face. I can only use you to force him out. If he truly cares about you, he will come; if not... hmph, then just wait for death."

After spitting some harsh words, Dongfang Jian left.

"Because of Gao Fei... we were captured," Shen Caidie whispered.

"Do you all know Gao Fei? What's your relationship with him?" Liu Mengyao asked with a complex expression.

"Friends," Su Xiaorou said.

"I am also a friend of Gao Fei," Ouyang Lan said. "Just ordinary friends... I'm not really close to Gao Fei... This is really an undeserved disaster..." Ouyang Lan felt very frustrated inside.

"I like Gao Fei," Meng Xiaoyu shockingly revealed. "Very much! I want to marry Gao Fei!" She looked at Su Xiaorou and the others: "What about you? Do you also like Gao Fei?"

Su Xiaorou and the others opened their mouths as if to say something but then swallowed their words.

Finally, Ouyang Lan spoke up: "I indeed have a good impression of Gao Fei... but there's still a gap from liking him..."

"What about you three?" Meng Xiaoyu asked. "Do you three like Gao Fei?"

"I refuse to answer that question." Su Xiaorou lowered her head, unwilling to meet Meng Xiaoyu's eyes.

"I also refuse to answer," Shen Caidie said.

"I... I don't want to answer either," Liu Mengyao likewise offered no answer.

Meng Xiaoyu pouted, "Afraid to answer means you have a guilty conscience, in other words, you have feelings for Gao Fei, you like him, but you're scared to admit it! You really are..." Meng Xiaoyu struggled to find the right words to describe Su Xiaorou and the others and snorted lightly, "I'm much better than you because I dare to say it out loud: I like Gao Fei! I want to marry him!"
