In a classic mansion of Xiangjiang City, an old man with a white beard and hair was writing something down on a piece of yellow paper!
If any celebrities in Xiangjiang City were near the mansion, they would instantly recognize the old man. He was Li Zongyao, one of the top 4 master-level powers across Huaxia Country, also known as Li Xiangjiang!
He moved his wrist fluently like a flying dragon, manifesting tadpoles on the paper, one after another!
Not until he finished his last stroke did Master Li let out a deep sigh!
"Oh! I finally completed the amulet!"
Master Li spoke loudly as he wiped off the sweat from his forehead. Apparently, it took him great spiritual and physical strength to complete the amulet!
"This amulet could resist the strike of a master-level power. I will gift it to Xiaosi when he comes back!"
When he thought about his talented apprentice, Master Li revealed great satisfaction.
However, right then, Master Li's face lit up in shock as he felt his heart palpitating at once!
"Sh*t! Someone had just broken my bloody hiding spell!"
Master Li's face turned extremely gloomy.
Each of his bloody hiding spells contained his essential energy!
He could sense if any one of his bloody hiding spells were broken!
He only made very few bloody hiding spells, all of which were gifted to his beloved friends and family, for the sake of their lives!
But now…
Master Li's face turned dreadful as he yelled, "One Arm!"
An old man with only one arm entered the room and a hurry and answered, "Master, what can I do for you?"
The one-armed old man released a powerful qi. Evidently, he was an SSS-class power.
Master Li's social position was evident by the fact that he could keep an SSS-class power as his servant.
Master Li then replied with a gloomy face, "Hurry, check all those who carry my bloody hiding runes. Someone is in trouble!"
After hearing his words, One Arm quickly trotted out of the room.
Only after a short while, he had returned with an extremely malicious and insidious look.
"Master, something happened to the Leng Clan in Jiangnan City!"
'What!'
After hearing his words, Master Li knitted his brow at once as he asked, "The clan of Xiaosi and Hanshuang?"
"Yes, master!"
One Arm's face became doused with fear. After taking a scared look at Master Li, he braced himself as he continued, "I've just received the news! All 286 members of the Leng Clan in Jiangnan City are missing, leaving no corpses or blood behind in the Leng Mansion. Additionally, the Leng Mansion turned into ruins overnight!"
…
Master Li became floored, as if he had been struck by a bomb!
"Extermination! The Leng Clan was exterminated!"
With a faint grim look, Master Li grabbed One Arm's collar at once as he roared, "Where's Xiaosi? Where's Hanshuang? Are they dead? Tell me now!"
Li Zongyao had very few apprentices throughout his life!
Leng Si was his favorite apprentice!
Leng Si was definitely the most talented one among his apprentices!
Li Zongyao raised Leng Si as his own son.
He also hoped that Leng Si could surpass him and be promoted to a master-level power before 35 years old!
Because of Leng Si, Li Zongyao even took Leng Hanshuang, Leng Si's elder sister, as his adopted daughter!
Leng Hanshuang was also called the most powerful woman in Jiangnan City due to the fame of Master Li!
But now…
Master Li gazed at One Arm with his heart pounding heavily.
At that same moment, sweat emptied form One Arm's forehead in buckets.
Eyelids flickering rapidly, One Arm's body broke out into goosebumps as he said, "Master! Nobody knows what happened! I'm afraid that the 4th young master and Miss Hanshuang have been killed!"
…
Master Li threw himself onto the chair with horrifying dread!
"They might have been killed! They might have been killed!"
Master Li revealed a faint brutal expression.
After taking a deep breath, he controlled his fierce qi and said in a muffled voice,
"Tell me who's the murderer?"
Watching Master Li's furious face, One Arm felt his eyes tear up. He hurriedly answered, "According to the report from our insiders in Jiangnan City, Ye Feng is probably the murderer!"
"Previously, Ye Feng killed Gong Yunfei, the son of Miss Hanshuang! Later on, Miss Hanshuang was urged to avenge Gong Yunfei!"
"After leaving here, the 4th young master went straight to Jiangshi City! However, he didn't return to the Leng Mansion! Later on, the Leng Clan was exterminated..."
Old Man One Arm didn't even finish his words; however, Master Li had already released a fierce qi through his eyes!
"Good! Very good!"
"That small Jiangshi City is the graveyard of my Xiaosi! Very good!"
Master Li was infuriated as he spoke to Old Man One Arm, "Tell Tank to avenge Xiaosi in Jiangshi City right now!"
'Tank!'
Old Man One Arm was startled by the name.
"Master! Eldest young master was just promoted to a will-be master! Do you really want him to do that?"
Tank Lin Bao was Li Zongyao's eldest apprentice!
A few days ago, he was just promoted to be a will-be master!
His battle force was terrifying!
Old Man One Arm did not imagine that Master Li would dispatch his trump card to avenge Leng Si and Leng Hanshuang!
"I want that murderer to die, no matter the price!"
Li Zongyao spoke grimly.
…
At that same moment, a middle-aged man was sitting beside a pond in a mansion and angling with a fishing pole in his one hand, and a doc.u.ment in the other!
The doc.u.ment was filled with a list of people's names, birthplaces, and cultivation bases!
The middle-aged man looked calm. When he turned to page 8, he became shortly stunned!
"Eh? The holder of the 8th trump card is a little guy, no younger than 20 years old!"
"He is just a super first-class ant!"
The middle-aged man frowned with deep indignation on his face!
"Sh*t! What on earth are those mysterious guys doing! Why would they select such an ant!"
With a furious look, the middle-aged man threw his doc.u.ment onto the ground furiously.
The information on that page was as follows:
Name: Ye Feng
Birthplace: Jiangshi City
Cultivation base: super first-class
Trump card order: 8
When the middle-aged man recovered his composure, he heard a marching of footsteps.
Old Man One Arm was walking towards him.
"Eldest young master!"
Old Man One Arm bent down towards the middle-aged man and greeted him.
The middle-aged man continued to fish as he asked One Arm with laziness, "What's the matter?"
After hearing his words, Old Man One Arm took a scared look at the middle-aged man before exclaiming, "Eldest young master. The 4th young master's clan was exterminated. The 4th young master and his elder sister are missing!"
'Hmm?'
After hearing the news, Lin Bao became shortly stunned as he gradually knitted his brow and asked, "Who did it?"
"Ye Feng in Jiangshi City!"
'What!'
When Tank heard his answer, he almost jumped in disbelief.
He hurriedly picked up the doc.u.ment and presented the 8th page to Old Man One Arm before asking, "Is that him?"
After hearing his words, Old Man One Arm became shortly stunned. After taking a look at the page, he slightly knitted his brow and answered, "Right! That's him!"
"Good! Very good!"
Tank then said with a grim smile, "I had not imagined that he could be the 8th candidate of the trump card, but unexpectedly, also the murderer who killed my junior fellow apprentice!"
"Damn it!"
Closely after speaking, Lin Bao slightly quivered his wrist, releasing wisps of qi into the pond along his fishing pole!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The entire pond filled with qi, causing sprays of water everywhere!
Closely after, many dead fish floated to the surface belly up!
Lin Bao then took out a golden card!
There was a number '10' on it!
