"Arhat?"
Jiang Xinghai murmured the na, silent for a long mont.
He had no recollection of that na whatsoever!
As for who he was?
He would probably have to contact his Senior Sister, Zhao Linglong.
Letting out a long sigh, Jiang Xinghai's mind drifted back ten years.
In that year, he was still living in the Imperial City.
He suffered from a stubborn illness that no doctor could cure. After all attempts to find treatnt failed, his parents finally sent him to Kunlun Mountain.
After that, he beca a disciple of Yao Gu. His body soon healed completely, and he beca the picture of health.
Over five years, he lived up to his master's high expectations, mastering extraordinary skills and becoming an expert in dical Martial Arts.
It was also in that year that he suddenly received news of his parents' death in Jizhou!
He had wanted to leave the mountain right then and there to seek revenge.
But his master warned him that leaving the mountain now would be no different from seeking his own death.
So, he endured for another five years, continuing to deepen his training.
「A short while ago.」
He received a ssage from his Senior Sister, Zhao Linglong, and only then did he learn that his parents hadn't died back then. Instead, they had been saved by the Shen Family's father and daughter.
This was his story before he left the mountain.
"Uncle, I'm going to make a call."
Jiang Xinghai mulled it over for a good while before finally getting up and walking out into the courtyard.
With no one else around, he silently lit a cigarette and dialed a mysterious number.
「On a beach in Bali.」
A stunningly beautiful woman with an Eastern face and a devilishly curvaceous figure was enjoying a sunbath.
Her phone rang. When she saw the caller ID, a captivating light swirled in her beautiful eyes.
"Xinghai, you rascal. Did you only just now rember to call ?"
Zhao Linglong's tone was one of feigned complaint, but her voice was exceptionally sweet.
This left the several won of different ethnicities beside her completely dumbfounded.
The Eastern woman before them was the secret boss of "Celestial Net," one of the three largest international assassin organizations!
They had followed Zhao Linglong for many years and had almost never seen her smile so sweetly.
"Senior Sister, I'm in Jizhou. I've uncovered many secrets, but the identities of two people in particular have completely stumped. I was hoping to use your intelligence network..." Jiang Xinghai was cut off before he could finish.
Zhao Linglong was speechless. "Junior Brother Xinghai, since when did you beco so serious? This isn't like you."
"Senior Sister, this is about my parents. Of course I have to be serious," Jiang Xinghai said solemnly.
"Alright, go on." Zhao Linglong's expression also grew serious.
"First, the mastermind who directed the Wang, Song, and Yu Families in Jizhou. He seems to be a mysterious old man from the Imperial City. I need his exact identity," Jiang Xinghai said.
"Xinghai, with your thods, you couldn't pry any clues out of the three of them—the Wang, Song, and Yu Families?" Zhao Linglong was completely baffled, finding it hard to believe.
Jiang Xinghai then briefly recounted all the clues he had gathered.
After listening, Zhao Linglong had a mont of realization. "No wonder. Your sister understands. I'll help you get the clues as soon as possible."
"There's also a burly man nad 'Arhat.' He's the one who ultimately took my parents away," Jiang Xinghai added.
"Arhat?"
Zhao Linglong murmured the na. 'Why does that sound so familiar?' "Alright, let think about it. The mont I have a definitive answer, I'll let you know."
"Thank you, Senior Sister." Jiang Xinghai gradually began to relax.
"Oh, Xinghai, your sister has sothing else to talk about, on a different topic."
Zhao Linglong suddenly gave a aningful smile. "I heard from Master that you actually succeeded in cultivating the sect's forbidden technique, the Dragon Locking Secret Technique. Is that true?"
"Well..."
Jiang Xinghai was rather embarrassed. He had begged his master, Yao Gu, not to tell anyone about this.
"Hehehe, your sister understands. When we et next ti, I'll have to test out your 'firepower.' I'm really looking forward to it." After a hearty laugh, Zhao Linglong hung up the phone.
HISS...
Hearing the dial tone as she hung up, Jiang Xinghai couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.
His Senior Sister was an incredibly energetic woman!
Even though he had cultivated the Dragon Locking Secret Technique to the state of Great Achievent, whether he could actually 'subdue' her was still an unknown.
"Jiang."
Suddenly, Shen Zhengye hurried to the doorway. Seeing that Jiang Xinghai had finished his call, he said quickly, "Jiang, the Wang Family was wiped out overnight, but even now, there hasn't been any news about it in all of Jizhou. I feel like sothing isn't right."
"The Wang Family was one of the Four Great Martial Arts Clans, after all. For them to be wiped out overnight without a single news report is definitely not normal."
Jiang Xinghai snapped back to reality. He offered Shen Zhengye a cigarette and lit one for himself.
"However, back when the Yu Family perished in that fire, it was just like this—no news at all," Shen Zhengye added.
"If that's the case..."
Jiang Xinghai seed to have thought of sothing, a bloody glint flashing in his eyes. "Uncle, then there must be soone behind the scenes controlling this whole situation. Perhaps it's that mysterious old man whose identity we don't know."
