"Who would’ve thought that even Yanluo himself would appear!"
"The Black Dragon Squad’s Captain, Hei Shan, is a disciple of Yanluo. Now that his disciple has been injured to such an extent, almost crippled, it’s only natural that Yanluo has shown up!"
"Yanluo is a terrifying deadly killer, as his strength is top-notch even among the Zilongwei. He has killed countless people and is known as the real King Yama. With him showing up, the one who was bold enough to assault Hei Shan is done for."
With Yanluo’s emergence, the Dragon Soul Base was abuzz with discussions.
The Dragon Soul, as a martial arts organization cultivated by the China government, is divided into many levels of hierarchy based on individual strength, with the lowest being ordinary members who’ve joined Dragon Soul not long ago.
These members are typically scattered across Dragon Soul’s branches in various cities in China, gathering intelligence and monitoring local circumstances.
Then there are the operation combat squads: Azure Dragon Squad, Black Dragon Squad, and White Dragon Squad, responsible for carrying out various missions. Above them are the Zilongwei and Golden Dragon Pavilion, congregations of the true powerhouses of Dragon Soul.
Only Dragon Soul experts who have reached the Qi Condensation Realm level can join the Zilongwei, while the Golden Dragon Pavilion requires the strong ones of the Entering Saint Realm to be a part of it.
Although these two groups don’t have as many people as the other three squads, any single one of them could easily wipe out the Azure Dragon, Black Dragon, and White Dragon squads.
The powerhouses of Zilongwei and Golden Dragon Pavilion rarely show themselves, appearing only when major incidents occur or concerning affairs of the Martial Arts World.
Yanluo was indeed a member of the Zilongwei, his might having reached the Qi Condensation Realm.
In a room within the Dragon Soul Base, Yanluo’s figure appeared, gathering with several elders who were the leaders of Dragon Soul.
"Yanluo, why have you come?"
Those elders asked as they saw Yanluo.
"My disciple was nearly beaten to death and turned into a cripple. How could I not come?"
Yanluo’s voice was rough and full of endless fury, his eyes flashing with a terrifying murderous intent!
"Yanluo, we were just about to discuss this matter with you!"
One of the elders spoke up.
"There’s no need for words. Give me all the information on the culprit. I will personally take him down. It’s not just about avenging my disciple, Hei Shan, but also to show everyone that Dragon Soul’s authority cannot be challenged!"
Yanluo declared coldly, radiating an aura of horror.
"Shouldn’t we consult with the Dragon Head about this first since it’s a major incident?"
Another elder suggested.
"The Dragon Head is in seclusion, so there’s no need to bother him. I’ll handle this matter. Whoever dares to injure my disciple, I will make sure they live to regret it thoroughly!"
Yanluo’s gaze was icy, the murderous light in his eyes splintering around him. His dark, deep complexion made him look like a living Yama!
Immediately after, Yanluo quickly left the room.
Outside the Yanjing Xiao Family estate, a black van suddenly appeared, immediately putting the Xiao Family guards on alert. Then, a massive snakeskin bag was thrown from the vehicle before it sped away.
The two Xiao Family guards were puzzled, focusing their gaze on the long black bag as they quickly approached it.
"What’s inside this thing?"
The guards were filled with suspicion and caution as they looked at the black bag, one of them gingerly unzipping it.
As they unzipped the bag and saw its contents, they were startled, retreating continuously while involuntarily shouting in terror.
"What happened? What’s going on?"
The shouts of the guards alerted the Xiao Family’s internal security, and a group of them rushed out to see what was happening.
One of the security members moved closer to inspect the black bag. His face turned pale, his pupils constricted, and he couldn’t help but step back.
The rest of the guards turned their gaze towards the black bag, and despite their willpower and strength, the sight of the contents inside made their complexions pale slightly.
Only inside the black bag was a bare, white skeleton, with just a face remaining, still frozen in a look of terror, and this person was none other than Leng Mian.
At that moment, the group of guards looked at each other, their hearts filled with shock.
"That person looks like the Leng Mian guard who is always with madam!"
One of the guards exclaimed as he looked at the skeleton in the bag.
"Go inform madam right away!"
Another guard hurriedly said.
Soon, Situ Yan and her maid came out, and when they saw Leng Mian’s corpse turned into a skeleton on the ground, their expressions changed dramatically.
Situ Yan’s face changed, her pupils narrowed, and a flicker of fear flashed through her eyes.
The maid’s eyes showed an incredulous look as she turned her gaze toward Situ Yan.
Situ Yan asked with a deep voice.
"Madam, a van just passed by and threw it here!"
The two gatekeepers quickly responded.
"Get rid of this immediately, I don’t want anyone to know about this affair!"
Situ Yan ordered coldly.
The group of guards nodded quickly.
Situ Yan turned and walked toward the inside of the Xiao Family home, with the maid following behind her.
"Madam, who could be so ruthless to turn Leng Mian into this while he was still alive?"
The maid spoke, the shock in her eyes lingering, looking utterly unnerved.
"Leng Mian went to deal with that boy. Now that he’s ended up , who else do you think it could be?"
Situ Yan said indifferently.
"Could it possibly be him? How could this be?"
The maid’s eyes revealed a tint of shock again, looking utterly incredulous.
"It seems I have underestimated him. He truly is no longer the worthless person he was back then. If he dares to show up again, it means he has absolute confidence and strength."
"Seeing how he tortured Leng Mian to death, he must know that Leng Mian was the killer of his mother. And by directly sending Leng Mian’s body to the Xiao Family, it’s obvious he also knows that Leng Mian was my man, and he might even be aware that I was the person behind this."
A sharp glint flickered in Situ Yan’s eyes.
In a moment, the maid’s complexion changed, and she said, "Madam, what should we do if he knows it was you who had his mother killed behind the scenes? Could he come to the Xiao Family for revenge?"
"If he wanted to take revenge on the Xiao Family, he wouldn’t have sent a corpse. This is merely a warning to me, and he did this precisely because he currently lacks the strength to seek revenge against the Xiao Family!"
A cold smile appeared at the corners of Situ Yan’s mouth.
"Madam is right, no matter how powerful he is, he can’t possibly seek his revenge. But the fact that even a strong one like Leng Mian died at his hands suggests his power must have reached an extremely high level,"
The maid said with a solemn expression.
Situ Yan nodded, about to say more, but at that moment, another maid from the Xiao Family approached.
