Boom!

A deafening roar erupted, splitting the heavens and sending shockwaves that instantly pulverized all the surrounding trees into dust. Dust and debris swirled in the air.

Poof!

Meanwhile, the old man spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood and flew backwards like a broken kite.

After flying straight for a hundred meters, it slammed into the ground, creating a large crater. Its entire body was shattered, bones broken and meridians severed.

"General Zhanzhan" struggled to lift his head and uttered a few words before slumping back, lifeless.

"Why Why would you assassinate Ling Shuai" Not far away, Xue Biqian collapsed to the ground, her face etched with utter despair.

In a moment, Ling Hao came before her.

"I'm so sorry, I'm truly sorry. I didn't know the sect members were going to target you," Xue Biqian said with tears streaming down her face, kneeling before Ling Hao with both legs.

"This has nothing to do with my father, please spare my father's life, I'm willing to do anything for you."

"Get up!" Ling Hao said lightly, then turned and walked towards the garden gate.

"Please, please spare my father!" Xue Biqian kowtowed several times towards Ling Hao's back before tremblingly getting up and following him.

My heart constantly prays, hoping my father wasn't involved in this. Otherwise, no one can save him.

One minute later, Ling Hao arrived at the manor square.

The fight here is over too. Under the combined efforts of Xuan Pang and the Judge, all of the enemy’s people have been defeated, including some warriors at the War God realm. The square is littered with limbs and broken arms, and there are cries of pain everywhere.

Xue Zhongkun, covered in wounds and paralyzed, sat slumped on the ground. Several other elderly men, equally badly injured, stood guard around him.

All the other guests who had come to the banquet had already arrived ten minutes ago and had all left the manor.

"Big brother!"

"Young Ling!"

The four judges looked at Ling Hao and greeted him.

"Hmm!" Ling Hao nodded slightly.

Shen Le then briefly recounted what he had learned.

"Hmm" After hearing Shen Le's words, Ling Hao was slightly surprised. He paused for a moment and said, "Where is Xue Zhongrui"

"In the villa!" Shen Le finished and looked at Tang Lin: "Old Lin, go get him out!"

"Good!" Tang Lin nodded and walked towards the villa.

In a moment, Xue Zhongrui walked out with Tang Lin's support.

"Xue Zhongkun, you really are a devil!" Seeing the scene on the square, Xue Zhongrui roared to the sky.

Pffft!

Qi and blood attacked the heart, coupled with the spread of poison, Zhang opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of dark red blood.

Then he collapsed onto the ground with a similar slump, as if aging several decades in an instant.

"Dad!" Xue Biqian arrived at the square, and cried out in grief, running towards her father.

"Tell me the whole story, or you'll be left in pieces!" Ling Hao walked towards Xue Zhongkun.

"Hmph, you think you've won" Xue Zhongkun looked at Ling Hao and sneered.

"Looking at you like this, you still haven't given up" Ling Hao spoke in a flat tone.

"What do you think!" Xue Zhongkun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted towards the front: "You guys haven't made a move yet, are you waiting for what"

Whew! Whew! Whew!

Before his words could even leave his lips, a swarm of dark shadows flew in from outside the manor walls. There must have been a hundred of them, crashing to the ground with a heavy thud and lifeless.

All the fighters present were from abroad, and many of them were still carrying automatic rifles.

"What!"

Upon seeing these people, Xue Zhongkun roared in shock, his face filled with horror.

"Your Xue clan is truly capable, not only joining forces with other sects to assassinate a key national official, but also colluding with foreign powers. You deserve to be wiped out!"

A man's voice sounded outside the manor gates.

In a short while, Lu Yue and Qinglong led a thousand blood shadow warriors into the room.

"Greetings, my lord commander!" As they approached Ling Hao, the crowd knelt on one knee and shouted in unison.

"Speak up!" Ling Hao raised his hand.

Even when he learned in the morning that the Xue family had invited Shen Le to a banquet, he had a vague suspicion in his heart that this grand banquet today was probably not simple.

The Chu family's incident wouldn't have gone unnoticed in Jiang Hai, and if the Xue family wanted to make a move, they would definitely be prepared.

Originally, he was capable of using the Shadow Gate himself, but to avoid unnecessary casualties, after some thought, he still called Lu Yue and asked him to bring a squad of Blood Shadow warriors to Jianghai.

“Thank you, Commander!” the crowd shouted and then rose to their feet.

"Big Brother!" Lu Yue and Qinglong came before Ling Hao.

"Mmm!" Ling Hao looked at the two people and smiled faintly.

"Big brother, all these people are from the Xiyun Merchant Association!" Lu Yue pointed at the foreign martial artists on the ground.

A few days ago, Yingmen went to suppress bandits. They received advance notice from the Xue family and hid in the suburbs of Jianghai. Today they are preparing to work with the Xue family.

"West Cloud Merchant Association! Not bad!" A flash of ferocity crossed Ling Hao's eyes.

After finishing, he took out his phone and sent a message to Bai Hu who was far away.

"Find the West Wind Nation's influence in the Shadow Realm, and kill them!"

After putting away my phone, I looked back at Xue Zhongkun and said, “Now, can we talk”

Whew!

Xue Zhongkun let out a large, foul breath, his whole body collapsing as if drained. His expression was that of a fallen tyrant.

"The victor is king, the vanquished is defeated. There's nothing more to say. If you want to kill or dismember, do as you please!"

"As you wish!" Ling Hao responded in a deep voice.

Whew!

Before his words were even finished, Ling Hao took the Blood Shadow Saber from Lu Yue's hand. With a flick of his wrist, a cold light flashed across Xue Zhongkun's neck.

Poof!

The next moment, a head shot up into the sky, blood spurting like a column.

He actually didn't need to ask. Today's events were undoubtedly the result of a collusion between several prominent families in the capital city and the Xue family, who then enlisted the help of their sect.

In recent times, the Chu clan was destroyed. Other clans must have felt the pressure and are now trying to get rid of him quickly.

To him, those aristocratic families would eventually be brought down to their knees anyway. So whether Xue Zhongkun said it or not was ultimately unimportant.

Even if Xue Zhongkun were willing to talk, he could only confess to a few people at most, which would be meaningless.

Those families acted completely on their own, it had nothing to do with the family name. They just turned the person over and everything would be fine.

Thump!

At this time, Xue Biqian got up and came forward. She knelt before Ling Hao again, her voice choked with sobs.

"Lingling, I know the Xue family has committed a heinous crime this time and deserves to be exterminated. But all of this was done by my second uncle and the sect."

"My father has never been involved in this from the beginning to the end. I beg you, spare my father and let the other innocent people of the Xue family go."

"I... I am willing to give up my own lowly life in exchange for theirs. Please, Lord Ling, grant me this."

After finishing, she pulled the hairpin out from her head and without a moment's hesitation, plunged it into her own heart.

"Qian'er, don't!" Xue Zhongrui cried out in pain.ling to pay a single bit.Worse yet, some of them are insidious and treacherous, colluding with the enemy from within, their crimes are heinous!Eleven prominent families, while not all of them share th...
