"Oh? Really? Then not only will I surpass it today, but I will also destroy this platform!" Lin Zifeng’s montum remained undiminished.
Without a second thought, he strode forward rapidly in front of the handso guy.
"Clang!" The Heavenly Painting Halberd appeared with an astonishing aura. Lin Zifeng gripped the halberd with both hands, leaped into the air, and swung it down fiercely. A dazzling and unparalleled blood light shot out from the tip of the spear.
"Break it for !" A long shout echoed. The scene was magnificent. The blood light was like a pillar, resembling a shooting star falling down.
"Boom!!!"
Instantly, the White Jade Platform shattered under the domineering blow of his halberd, impacted by the blood light!
"Rumble... rumble... rumble..."
Space twisted, and the earth shook, as if a massive storm and tsunami had swept through. Energy fluctuations in the space where they were standing were surging. Countless fragnts of the White Jade Platform began wildly shooting in all directions...
The hundred-rank platform was shattered with rocks flying and dust rising.
Frightened, the handso guy quickly shrank into a corner to avoid getting hit on the head by the flying stones.
"Dead dog, what are you waiting for? Hurry and get out of here!" Lin Zifeng turned around and saw the handso guy curled up in the corner. This appearance was totally unlike his usual arrogant and roguish self.
"Your Dog Master is about to die here. Why don’t you co and lend a hand, or I’ll really be done for!" it shouted at the top of its lungs.
Having no choice, Lin Zifeng turned back, grabbed its fur, and charged once more in the direction of the hundred-rank platform.
"Damn it! Kid. You’re pulling my ear! It hurts!" Trying not to fall off, the creature opened its mouth and bit the shoe on Lin Zifeng’s foot.
"Hey! Don’t bite my shoe!"
"Damn it! If I lose my balance and you leave here, who will I cry to... I won’t let go!"
Just like this, one man and one dog dashed towards the depths of the hundred-rank platform...
..............
anwhile, in Yanjing, upon learning that Lin Zifeng had gone to the Dark Prison, Jia Zhenjing and other Blazing Angels returned.
Hearing that he had gone to the Dark Prison, everyone took a sharp intake of breath. However, at present, they did not dare to act rashly. They knew that during the Kunling Mountain Holy Weapon snatch, not only did they fail to help Lin Zifeng, but they almost beca his burden. Now, everyone hoped that Lin Zifeng would safely return like he did from Kunling Mountain...
Upon hearing of Lin Zifeng’s departure, in a certain courtyard of the Hai Family’s first auction house in Yanjing...
Hai Zhilan closed his eyes, holding two spheres in his right hand. As his palm moved, the two spheres rotated back and forth in his palm. A whole week had passed! In these brief one or two weeks, so many things had happened. Now that he had the position of Family Head, everything seed like a fleeting dream.
"Zhilan, will doing this work? Won’t it leave us vulnerable?" At this mont, two pale-faced old n walked into the courtyard.
Seeing Hai Zhilan, the two were very respectful.
"Elders. If I don’t do it this way, do you think my position could be stable? And how could the two of you get what you want?" Hai Zhilan slowly turned around, a confident smile on his face.
The two exchanged a glance and nodded helplessly.
"That, has the matter been taken care of? Do you know when you will attend?"
"Attend? Why should I attend?" Hai Zhilan turned his head with interest and smiled, "Things have co to this point. You want to attend. How should I attend? In what manner?"
"Uh..."
The two were sowhat puzzled by Hai Zhilan’s words.
"Then, should the two of us show up?" asked one elder with a beard hesitantly.
"No need. You two just need to inspect it. I’ll handle the rest." Hai Zhilan’s eyes glimred with brilliance. He could see the thoughts of the two. Then he smiled slightly and said, "Don’t worry. Everything is under my control. Just go and do it boldly. I guarantee you won’t be shortchanged!"
"Then, we will go handle it first."
"Go on. I hope this ti, it’ll be done beautifully." Hai Zhilan waved his hand, displaying his Family Head deanor. Those who knew him well couldn’t believe this was Hai Zhilan!
.........
At 8:30 in the evening, the two who were sent out by Hai Zhilan quickly appeared at an old-fashioned private inn in Yanjing for a dinner gathering. This inn was called ’Eight-directions’ and was the private property of an elder from the Hai Family. The reason it was called an inn and not a hotel was due to its predominantly archaic décor which attracted a large number of diners. Those wanting to dine here at the Eight-directions inn might not be able to do so even if they had money.
This kind of business focuses on ’scarcity being valuable’.
Tonight, Hai Zhilan plans to host a banquet in this archaic inn to entertain all the powerful elders of the Hai Family.
At 9:10, on the rooftop terrace of the inn, all the elders of the Hai Family had gathered. A few elders were absent because of urgent matters.
On the rooftop terrace of the inn, it was a grand banquet scene, with plenty of champagne and beauties abound.
Hundreds of beautiful Yanjing live strears and so models were in a long queue, waiting for these sixty-seven-year-old n to indulge...
However, the main character of today had not yet appeared, making everyone present feel sowhat odd.
"Didn’t the Family Head invite us to a gathering? Why is he not here?" soone in the crowd started expressing confusion.
"Yeah. Wasn’t it agreed that today he was inviting everyone for a banquet? Now that he hasn’t shown up, what does this beco?"
"..."
The rooftop banquet continued, but discussions were constant.
anwhile, not far outside the inn on the road, Hai Zhilan stood in the biting night wind with hundreds of black-clad guards. He touched his chin.
"It’s ti to act."
As soon as he gave the order, hundreds of elite guards behind him began to take fuel cans from vans and started to slowly pour diesel around the inn.
"Zhilan, isn’t this too ruthless?" Seeing this scene, soone raised a doubt. Knowing that a fire would surely kill all the elders of the Hai Family!
"If I don’t do this, sooner or later my fate would be like my brother Hai Wuyan’s end. These traitors are typical fence-sitters. As the wind blows, so do they follow. Do you think these people are worth keeping?" Though Hai Zhilan appeared on the surface as a playboy, in reality, ever since he killed his brother and then his sister, his heart had beco sowhat numb.
If he could bring down his own sister, who else couldn’t he betray?
