They truly felt the surging killing intent from Hai Dongsheng at this mont.
The air was heavy with oppression, a haze hung over them, and the whole sky seed to turn blood-red, with the sll of gunpowder mixed with the scent of blood.
It was as if they could see the entire street washed in blood.
However, just then, a bundle suddenly fell from the sky.
Bang!
With a dull thud, the bundle crashed to the ground, landing behind the many junior mbers of the Hai family.
The many junior mbers of the Hai family weren’t scared because they were all deaf and did not hear the sound at all.
But this bundle falling from the sky caught the attention of everyone present.
What is this?
Where did it fall from?
Hai Dongsheng furrowed his brow deeply; he looked up, only to find no one on the rooftop.
Just then, the bundle opened itself, the wrapping fell away, and before everyone’s eyes, it surprisingly was a human head!
The head had its eyes wide open, completely unclosed, with graying hair, and it belonged to an old person.
The expression it wore was ferocious and fearful, as if it died with unresolved regret.
"It’s a human head!" soone exclaid.
The mont Hai Dongsheng saw this face, he was thunderstruck!
From head to toe, it was as if a bucket of ice water was poured on him.
This face was all too familiar to Hai Dongsheng.
The Hai family patriarch, Hai Songtao!
When the juniors of the Hai family saw Hai Dongsheng’s expression, they turned their heads and looked behind. Upon seeing the head, they were also dumbfounded.
Isn’t this the old patriarch?
How did his head get thrown here?
Among the onlookers, few had seen Hai Songtao, but there were so people of status who had done business with the Hai family, so they naturally recognized at once whose head it was!
What’s more, there were also spies from the Yunling Sect in the crowd.
At that mont, the scene erupted into chaos!
Hai Songtao is dead!
The news spread like a plague throughout the city!
"Did you hear? Hai Songtao of the Hai family is dead!"
"What! Hai Songtao is dead? How is that possible, he’s a master of Innate Perfection, who are you hearing this from! Are you not afraid of getting your ribs broken by people from the Minghai Comrce Association for spreading this rumor?"
"Who else would I have heard from? Hai Songtao’s head was cut off and thrown right at the Minghai Comrce Association’s entrance, so many people saw it with their own eyes today!"
"That’s shocking! Who did it?"
"Who knows?"
"Do you think it might be..."
"Are you saying the Evergreen Comrce Association? No way, does the Evergreen Comrce Association have such capability?"
"I think it’s entirely possible! If the Evergreen Comrce Association didn’t have the skills, would they dare confront the Hai family head-on? They beat up Hou Wu earlier, and later disabled so many juniors of the Hai family. Even when the Hai family said their patriarch was coming personally, they remained unfazed. If it wasn’t them, I can’t imagine who else could have done it."
"You’ve got a point..."
When Lin Wangshu of the Yunling Sect received this news, she was also full of shock.
"Aunt ng, the Evergreen Comrce Association really made a move."
Lin Wangshu said in amazent, "I originally thought the Evergreen Comrce Association would at most use their backing to pressure the Hai family, to prevent them from affecting their business, but I never imagined they’d be so ruthless, going directly to Celestial Water City to slaughter that old louse Hai Songtao!"
"Upon hearing this news, I’m also very surprised. Hai Songtao, who reigned over Minghong State for so many years, was just slaughtered like that, it feels unreal. After all, the Hai family has so many enemies, but none could do anything to Hai Songtao."
Aunt ng quickly said, "And I’ve also inquired that the Hai family in Celestial Water City hasn’t shown any movent so far, which is quite odd."
"Could it be that the Hai family isn’t even aware yet that their old patriarch was killed?" Lin Wangshu sneered, "Don’t say it, it’s really possible. If that’s the case, then we of the Yunling Sect certainly need to add fuel to the fire."
"Missy ans... spreading the news?" Aunt ng asked curiously.
"Spread the news to those who have deep hatred with the Hai family; the Hai family has offended many people over the years. Also, get my father to take action, see how much advantage we can gain from the Hai family’s downfall."
"Also, the Evergreen Comrce Association will certainly not sit idly by on this matter. They were able to kill Hai Songtao, which ans their strength shouldn’t be underestimated. If the struggle involves profit conflicts, our Yunling Sect should prioritize the benefits of the Evergreen Comrce Association, giving way to them. We absolutely must not offend them before understanding their strength."
"Otherwise, the plight of the Hai family today might be our Yunling Sect’s tomorrow." As Lin Wangshu spoke, a deep sense of wariness also erged in her eyes.
The Evergreen Comrce Association is too mysterious!
They could silently kill Hai Songtao, and even the Hai family didn’t notice.
With such strength, yet they co to open a comrce association...
What on earth are they thinking?
The Minghai Comrce Association is already in chaos, and the whole Dao Mark City is in turmoil because of this incident.
Only the Evergreen Comrce Association stands as steady as Mount Tai!
This makes countless people find the Evergreen Comrce Association even more mysterious.
Not only do they have strength, but they are also quite composed!
Outside, it’s already in an uproar. Everyone is thinking of taking a share from this incident, but the Evergreen Comrce Association hasn’t made a single move, that’s real courage!
At this mont, in the private room on the second floor of the Evergreen Comrce Association.
Yan Botao and two others were sitting together, with a trace of incense burning on the table, a pot of tea, and a plate of peanuts.
The three of them had been drinking for quite a while.
But the three of them hadn’t spoken for quite a while, the whole day they were pondering one question.
Who the hell did this?
After hearing the news that Hai Songtao was killed, the three were stunned for quite so ti.
Because after beating up the juniors of the Hai family today, the three had already decided to pack up and run away, the Evergreen Comrce Association couldn’t stay; if Hai Songtao really ca, they wouldn’t even have a chance to escape.
The best solution so far would be to run back to Changting Town.
Hai Songtao saying he would wash Changting Town in blood was impossible.
After all, Changting Town was guarded by Li Changqing.
Even though Li Changqing was in seclusion, if Hai Songtao really ca to make a scene in Changting Town, how could Li Changqing not take action?
So with Li Changqing as a backup, Yan Botao wasn’t that worried, that’s also why he dared to act against the juniors of the Hai family today after hearing Hai Songtao was coming to Dao Mark City.
At worst, they would return to square one overnight, go back to Changting Town and keep low.
It was better than losing their lives on their knees.
So after the three ca back, they began packing their things, bringing what they could and leaving what they couldn’t, safety first.
Just as they hadn’t finished packing, chaos erupted outside.
The three were startled, thinking Hai Songtao had arrived so soon.
Upon inquiry, yes, it was indeed Hai Songtao, but he didn’t co complete...
Once they digested this news, they started guessing who on earth did this.
Li Changqing was in seclusion.
This shouldn’t have been done by Li Changqing.
As for the enemies of the Hai family?
Why not take revenge earlier or later, specifically choosing this critical mont to take revenge, giving the Evergreen Comrce Association a severe assist?
"I think it’s the Grand Offering," said Yan Botao solemnly, "The Grand Offering should have already known about this. Though he’s been in seclusion lately, he certainly had other friends to help him settle this, otherwise this coincidence is too strange."
Zhao Yiqiu and Bai Jingfei were silent for a while, then nodded in agreent.
"Makes sense."
Other than this, they couldn’t think of another explanation.
"The Grand Offering does have other experts by his side," Yan Botao recalled, "Back then, that Ma Sandao, although he died in the Grand Offering’s courtyard, the Grand Offering also said that Ma Sandao wasn’t worthy to die by his hand, so evidently, it was soone else who intervened, possibly the sa person who dealt with Hai Songtao this ti."
This surprised Zhao Yiqiu and Bai Jingfei a bit, Ma Sandao wasn’t killed by Li Changqing himself?
"This is the most plausible explanation." Yan Botao grew cheerful, "With Hai Songtao dead, the Hai family is finished."
"Leader, the Hai family may be finished, and Dao Mark City is already in chaos; when the news spreads, the entire Hai family might be swallowed up by other forces. Minghong State has a dozen cities, big and small, all with Hai family industries, it’s now a coveted pie..."
Bai Jingfei was a little anxious; such a big pie isn’t sothing any single force can easily consu, not even the Yunling Sect could possibly devour it alone.
Isn’t Evergreen Comrce Association going to eat this pie?
