Chapter 7404
Young Master Lü Almost Died of Anger
Jiang Xueren paused for a moment, then threw out the bait he had prepared beforehand: "As long as you agree to join the Blood Demon Society and become a guest assassin of our Pavilion, I will immediately report to headquarters and dispatch top experts to help us! This is a win-win situation, beneficial to both of us."
In Jiang Xueren's view, this was the best solution, a timely act of kindness. Faced with the dual pressure from the Lü family and Venerable Zhongnan, anyone with a modicum of rationality would not refuse the Blood Demon Society's offer.
Seeing Xiao Chen remain silent, Jiang Xueren mistakenly assumed he was interested and pressed his advantage:
“Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should at least think about Miss Zhou. The Blood Demon Society’s foundation in Dragon Kingdom is far beyond what the Lü family can match. In fact… you don’t even need to take action yourself; we can smooth over this troublesome Lü family for you.”
“This offer is generous enough,” Jiang Xueren said, a hint of smugness in his voice. “You don’t have much time to consider it.”
However, what he received was Xiao Chen turning away without hesitation, and a chillingly cold order:
"Extremely Yin. If these two do not leave, deal with them together."
Jiang Xueren and Su Yu's expressions changed drastically, their eyes filled with astonishment and anger!
Even in this near-desperate situation, he still dares to refuse the Blood Demon Society again?!
Is he insane, or is he really tired of living?!
Jiang Xueren's anger surged, and he instinctively wanted to step forward to stop him. But a dark figure flashed out like a ghost and stood firmly in front of him, like an insurmountable iron wall.
It's Lin Zhenghao.
He stood there silently, holding a black sword. The icy killing intent emanating from him was so real that it made Jiang Xueren, the Blood Demon Society branch leader who had been through many battles, feel a sudden throbbing in his heart.
This person... has such a terrifying killing intent!
They arrived too late to witness Lin Zhenghao's overwhelming power in crushing the Lu family's experts, but feeling that killing intent up close was enough for them to realize how unfathomable the other party was.
"If you don't leave now, you'll die."
The voice of the Yin Ancestor echoed, more chilling than the wind of the far north ice plains, revealing indifference and contempt for ants.
Clearly, the aura of the Extreme Yin Ancestor was superior to that of Lin Zhenghao; it was the absolute suppression of the weak by a top expert.
Jiang Xueren and Su Yu exchanged a glance, both seeing deep apprehension in each other's eyes. They knew that continuing the argument would only bring trouble, so they immediately stopped talking, turned around decisively, and quickly disappeared into the tree-lined path of the villa area.
……
Meanwhile, in a quiet room deep within Qiyun Mountain Villa.
Lu Wenhou was sitting cross-legged, refining the spiritual medicine he had brought back from Zhongnan Mountain, eagerly awaiting the "good news" his subordinates would bring back about Zhou Keying.
Suddenly, a rapid knocking broke the silence inside.
He raised an eyebrow, a hint of delight flashing in his eyes: "Come in!"
The door was suddenly pushed open, and a figure covered in blood and barely breathing stumbled in—it was the leader that Xiao Chen had let go.
"Young...Young Master..."
Lu Wenhou suddenly stood up, saw the miserable state of the person who came, and realized that only he had returned. The joy in his heart was instantly swallowed up by cold anger!
problem occurs!
He took a step forward, disregarding the other person's serious injuries and near death, and his five fingers gripped the man's neck like eagle claws, lifting him off the ground with such force that he almost crushed the man's throat bones!
"Speak! What exactly happened?! Where are the others?!" Lu Wenhou's voice was chilling and his eyes were filled with violent killing intent.
The man's throat was being choked, his face rapidly turning purple, struggling to breathe, and he hissed intermittently, "That...that Xiao Chen had...an extremely terrifying black-clad expert by his side...everyone else...is dead...He let me come back...and brought...a message..."
"Oh!"
In a fit of rage, Marquis Lü slammed the man to the ground! The hard bluestone floor cracked from the impact, and the man spat out a mouthful of foul blood, his breath growing even weaker.
"What are you saying?!" Lu Wenhou stepped forward, his foot stomping on the man's chest, his tone vicious. The man collapsed to the ground, feeling the scorching, eerie power within him about to spiral out of control. Daring not to conceal anything, he used his last ounce of strength to tremble and say:
"He...he said...that you, young master...should cherish your last moments...tonight...he will personally come to your door...to take your life..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man's body stiffened abruptly, and it felt as if countless insects were wriggling and swelling under his skin, causing his entire body to swell up at a visible speed!
Lu Wenhou's pupils contracted sharply, alarm bells rang in his mind, and he instinctively retreated!
"boom……!!"
A muffled explosion suddenly erupted!
The man's body exploded like an overinflated balloon, and blood mist, bits of flesh, and the violent residual energy instantly swept through the entire quiet room!
Although Lu Wenhou retreated quickly, he was still severely impacted by the aftershocks of the shockwave. His blood and qi churned violently, and his robes were splattered with specks of blood. Even his face was covered in a few drops, leaving him in a sorry state.
Since birth, he has never suffered such humiliation!
"Xiao...Chen...!!"
A roar filled with endless resentment and rage burst forth from Lu Wenhou's throat! His face was contorted with rage, his veins bulged, and he was almost grinding his teeth to powder. The killing intent in his eyes was so intense that it was almost tangible.
"Today, it's either you or me who dies!!"
After his roar, Lu Wenhou forcibly suppressed his boiling killing intent, his eyes suddenly turning incredibly sinister. He walked to the wall, pressed a hidden communication button, and spoke in a cold, emotionless tone:
"Go, invite those two old hags from the Zhou family to the villa. I want to see what she'll choose between her parents and that bastard!"
……
Half an hour later, in Xiao Chen's villa living room.
Zhou Keying paced back and forth restlessly, her brow furrowed with anxiety. A nameless unease lingered in her heart, refusing to dissipate. She had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.
Xiao Chen glanced at the special watch on his wrist, tapped his fingertip on the encrypted communicator, and sent a text message to Di Tianyan: "How's the preparation?"
He replied almost instantly.
Di Tianyan's message was concise and powerful: "All members of the War God Alliance are in position, lying in ambush three miles outside Qiyun Manor, awaiting the Alliance Leader's orders!"
"very good."
With a slight twitch of his fingertips, Xiao Chen concealed the encrypted communicator in his sleeve, his movements steady and efficient. He strode to Zhou Keying's side, his long arm encircling her slender waist, the warmth of his palm seeping through her clothing, carrying a soothing power.
“I’m going out for a bit. From now on, Ji Yin will stay here to protect you.”
Zhou Keying's heart tightened; she instantly realized he was heading straight for Qiyun Manor. She opened her mouth, wanting to warn him to be careful, but before she could speak, her phone rang urgently in her pocket.
The caller ID showed "Dad".
The unease that had been lingering in her heart surged to its peak in an instant, and her trembling fingertips answered the phone: "Dad? What's wrong?" (End of this chapter)
