"That old man terrified you that much?"
Jiang Xinghai saw the terror in Wang Enkui's eyes and felt a jolt of alarm.
SWISH!
Suddenly, the sound of sothing slicing through the air rang out.
THWACK!
In the next instant, a diamond-shaped hidden weapon pierced through Wang Enkui's forehead.
'An assassination to silence him?'
"Who was that?!"
Jiang Xinghai was furious with himself; a montary lapse in focus had allowed the shadowy culprit to succeed with a sneak attack.
WHOOSH!
He shot off in pursuit of the dark figure.
The night was deep.
The streets were sparsely populated with pedestrians, and cars sped past.
In Jiang Xinghai's line of sight, the most suspicious person was an old man scavenging for scraps.
'I never thought a small place like Jizhou would have so many hidden masters. His speed is truly exceptional. As for his... Not good!'
A wave of heat suddenly washed over him!
BOOM!
He never would have expected that the old scavenger was wearing a self-destruct device.
The instant Jiang Xinghai got close, the searing flas of an explosion lit up the world.
After the flash of fire, a cloud of blood mist instantly vanished into nothing!
'So he was a dead man?'
Jiang Xinghai shook his head with a soft sigh and walked back toward the Wang Family estate, lost in thought.
'Who exactly is pulling the strings, trying to cover their tracks?'
This person chose to assassinate Wang Enkui to stop him from revealing the truth of what happened back then.
'In that case, doesn't that an the Song Family and the Yu Family are...?'
At this thought, Jiang Xinghai raced back to the Wang Family estate.
"Jiang, just now, outside..." Shen Zhengye stepped forward to greet him.
Jiang Xinghai shook his head. "Uncle, the killer incinerated himself. You and Master Xue should take Lulu ho first. I need to pay a visit to the Song Family and the Yu Family."
"Wait!"
Shen Zhengye grabbed Jiang Xinghai's arm. "The Song Family moved away from Jizhou a year ago. Their whereabouts are unknown. As for the Yu Family... there's no need for you to go. There was a fire at the Yu Family estate half a year ago. Of the entire family, young and old, only one woman survived, and there's been no news of her since."
"This..."
Hearing this, Jiang Xinghai froze on the spot.
He had thought that even with Wang Enkui dead, he still had the Song Family and the Yu Family!
But he never expected the Song Family to have already moved away, and for the Yu Family to be reduced to a single missing woman!
Right now, this sole surviving woman from the Yu Family was the absolute top priority.
"The most urgent thing is for us to leave the Wang Family estate now."
Shen Zhengye gave Jiang Xinghai a little shake. "I'll go set a great fire and let the Wang Family vanish completely."
「Five minutes later.」
Jiang Xinghai and the others left in a business van.
A raging fire began to burn at the Wang Family estate.
「anwhile.」
Deep within a great mountain a thousand li outside of Jizhou.
A skeletal old man suddenly awoke from his seclusion.
Before him lay several dozen Soul Jade Scrolls, all of which had now turned to dust!
"NO!!!"
He threw his head back and roared, "Who? Who was it that caused my Wang Family's total annihilation?!!!"
A terrifying aura surged forth, and a sky-piercing sword intent filled the cave.
He was the Wang Family's ancestor, Wang Yuan!
His cultivation had long ago reached the unrivaled Venerable Realm!
"Seven days. In seven days, I will be able to leave my seclusion and return to Jizhou. No matter who it is, they will all pay the price a thousand tis over!!!"
...
「Yuhai Bay Villa District, the Shen Family estate.」
Jiang Xinghai laid Feng Lulu on the sofa. "Uncle, Master Xue, Lulu will wake up soon. She's about to start college—she's still just a kid, really. Please don't say a word about what happened at the Wang Family estate. I don't want her getting mixed up in this."
"Jiang, it's so late. You're going out again?" Shen Zhengye asked, confused.
"I have sothing else I need to take care of. Don't worry about ." Jiang Xinghai gave a small smile and turned to leave.
Lin Liping was still waiting for him in room 1707 of the Marriott Hotel for her massage, and he couldn't go back on his word.
PHEW...
Shen Zhengye watched until Jiang Xinghai's back disappeared from view, then let out a heavy breath.
'Tonight, the Wang Family was annihilated! The Shen Family has obtained all of the Wang Family's assets. The gears of my, Shen Zhengye's, fate have reversed! And it was all thanks to Jiang Xinghai!'
'Jiang, when you co back, I'll tell you everything that happened five years ago without leaving anything out. I hope it'll be useful to you.'
Shen Zhengye murmured softly to himself. Turning his head, he saw Xue Zhong gazing at him and couldn't help but smile. "Master Xue, your presence at our humble abode is truly an honor for the Shen Family."
"Patriarch Shen, I'm quite ashad, to be honest."
Xue Zhong was already over eighty years old. At first, he had genuinely looked down on Jiang Xinghai's dical skills.
But after Shen Zhengye's Dantian was repaired, he had a sudden realization: Jiang Xinghai's reputation was not just empty talk!
And now, he had witnessed Jiang Xinghai annihilate the Wang Family.
Even if he wanted to leave, he suspected Jiang Xinghai and Shen Zhengye wouldn't allow it.
Besides, he had chosen to stay of his own accord.
He saw in Jiang Xinghai the dawn of a new era for the dical arts of the Dragon Country!
This was an opportunity he naturally had to seize.
「Marriott Hotel.」
Jiang Xinghai drove there and took the elevator straight to the seventeenth floor.
Outside room 1707.
The mont he pressed the doorbell, the door opened.
"Divine Doctor Jiang, you're finally here!"
Lin Liping had been waiting here since seven in the evening. Seeing Jiang Xinghai arrive as promised, her face lit up with a smile.
However, there was also a hint of shyness in her expression. "I've... already showered. I'm ready for your massage whenever you are."
