Slap!

In a room, Huang Tao, the Grand Elder of the Huang Family, smashed a fine porcelain piece onto the ground in anger, shattering it instantly.

"Worthless, all of you are worthless! You still haven't found the killer of Bai'Er. What use are you?"

He roared angrily.

Before him, a group of Huang Family Elders looked grim, lowering their heads in silence.

Damn it, it's not like you are the only one who lost a grandson.

Our grandsons died too, didn't they?

Two days ago, the Soul Lamps of Huang Bai, Huang Yun, Huang Hu, and others extinguished simultaneously, and their bodies were later found in a temple outside the city. Even the Huang Family experts sent to investigate were all brutally killed.

This is clearly someone targeting our Huang Family!

"Grand Elder, calm down. Normally, no one would dare offend our Huang Family at a time like this. Moreover, with the Kong Family supporting us, there's even less reason for anyone to act against us. The only one with mortal enmity who would dare is... Jiang Shi!"

An elder spoke deeply.

"Jiang Shi?"

Grand Elder Huang Tao's eyes burned with fury, and his heart surged with murderous intent. He said icily, "Very well, it seems I've underestimated this little beast."

His gaze was venomous, and his fists clenched tightly, cracking as thick veins bulged.

For so many days, they had tried every means to lure out Jiang Shi, but he remained unmoved.

And now, he suddenly killed several of their important heirs.

Especially Huang Bai, who was his only grandson!

The Huang Family's bloodline was extraordinary; their ancestor was an enlightened Evil Corpse, inherently less fertile, resulting in few descendants, and even fewer of direct lineage.

Now they truly had an irreconcilable enmity with Jiang Shi.

"Regardless of whether it was him or not, spread the word immediately. From today onwards, our Yin Nan Huang Family will kill two Zhenwu Temple monks every day, subjecting them to the cruel punishments of flaying and skinning, executing them publicly to let them howl to their deaths!"

Huang Tao gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"Yes, Grand Elder!"

The group of elders replied coldly, each exuding a murderous aura.

Their grandsons were dead, and someone had to pay with their life. If Jiang Shi did not show himself, they would kill until he appeared.

Huang Tao's face was grim, still feeling insecure. He immediately dismissed everyone and hurried to the family ancestor to report all his suspicions and plans.

"So, Jiang Shi has already appeared."

The voice of the Huang Family Ancestor was old and frail, nearly bald, dressed in a bright red robe, looking elderly and surrounded by a decaying aura.

"Yes, Ancestor!"

Huang Tao replied somberly, "I am worried Jiang Shi may attack the family at any moment. I ask the Ancestor and the two Elder Kongs to be prepared."

"Rest assured, with us here, your Huang Family will be safe."

Next to the Huang Family Ancestor sat two elderly men in purple-brown robes. They spoke calmly, their tone gentle.

Though they appeared elderly, their Essence Qi was significantly stronger than that of the Huang Family Ancestor, their eyes like needles piercing the gaze.

Besides them, a few other figures, two men and a woman, all with extraordinary bearings and smiles, were present.

They were neither from the Kong Family nor the Huang Family.

They were merely on good terms with the Kong Family.

Upon hearing that the Ninth and Tenth Elders of the Kong Family were guests at the Huang Family, they came specifically to catch up, though the visit was also to extend some assistance to the Kong Family and gain some favor.

With the Kong Family's favor, even if their descendants fell into decline, they could seek refuge with the Kong Family to preserve some of their bloodline.

"With the help of the two Brother Kongs and our friends, I have no worries,"

Said the Huang Family Ancestor from his cross-legged position at the center, smiling warmly.

"Brother Huang, you're too kind."

The Ninth Elder of the Kong Family smiled slightly, looking toward Huang Tao, "Nephew Huang, just proceed with your plan. Don't worry about anything else. If that Jiang Shi truly dares to appear, we will deal with him. Act with confidence!"

"Indeed, whatever means you have, execute them swiftly. No one dares to harm you."

The Tenth Elder stated plainly.

"Yes, Elder Kong."

Huang Tao bowed respectfully, then turned and left after also bowing to his family Ancestor. As he exited the main hall, his eyes gleamed frostily.

Shortly after.

News spread once more within Yingzhou City, causing a commotion.

All the Jianghu individuals were astonished.

The Huang Family was making major moves again, announcing that they would kill two Zhenwu Temple monks daily from now on, preparing to execute them publicly by the methods of Inch Scale and Skinning to force Jiang Shi to appear.

The news caused an uproar among countless people.

···

Outside the city.

On a hillside, several bodies lay prone, all were from the Huang Family sent to probe the situation, all taken down by Jiang Shi.

Jiang Shi was originally in seclusion at a temple, but upon seeing intruders, he chose to distance himself.

At this moment, he had officially left seclusion, imbued with an indescribable power, his entire body roaring with blood energy, his fists clenched, and his arm muscles like iron bars.

He opened the panel and looked again.
