Tianwu Manor.

Many corpses lay in the courtyard, bloodstained and severely damaged. Additionally, several people who survived were lying on the ground with their limbs and joints removed. This material is derived from n0v£lbin•

“Fortunately, you were wise enough to have me stay here and guard the place with constable Jin and others. Otherwise, the consequences could have been irreparable.” Lu Yuan finally sighed with relief when he saw Jiang Ming return.

He sensed the great battle happening outside the city.

He wasn’t worried about Jiang Ming’s safety, but regretted missing the chance to witness the once-in-a-lifetime great battle.

“Thank you!” Jiang Ming bowed his hand.

Upon hearing the news from Constable Jin, he rushed back quickly.

“Don’t be so polite with me.” Lu Yuan waved his hand and continued, “I questioned them a bit, and they mostly knew that Zhao Zhengyi’s alliance was coming. After you left, they sneaked in to steal the secret techniques, presumably taking advantage of your absence.”

He paused and pointed to a person who was unconscious: “This is a Grandmaster-level warrior, but neither Constable Jin nor I recognize him. We couldn’t get any useful information from him.”

“A Grandmaster?” Jiang Ming squatted down, woke the man up with a slap, and pressed his fingers between the man’s eyebrows without giving him time to react.

He activated a spiritual secret technique.

The man’s eyes were filled with confusion.

“Who are you?” Jiang Ming asked.

“I am Deng Tao!”

“Which force do you belong to?”

“Shadow Secret Guard!”

“Shadow Secret Guard? Do you belong to the Court?”

“Yes, I currently serve the Crown Prince.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan shuddered, and Constable Jin’s face changed.

What kind of ability was this that could make a Grandmaster answer without hesitation?

However, when they heard the last line, Lu Yuan somewhat understood, while Constable Jin’s face drastically changed.

“Brother Jiang!” Constable Jin whispered.

She knew the severity of the matter, especially involving the Crown Prince.

As for the Shadow Secret Guard, she vaguely heard of them before: they were one of the dark forces of Court. While the Six Gates openly managed the martial world’s conflicts, the Court secretly controlled other forces as well.

Jiang Ming waved his hand and continued to ask, “Why did you come here?”

“To slaughter Jiang Ming’s family and collect the ultimate techniques!”

The atmosphere went silent at these words.

Lan was frightened, her face still showing lingering fear, and she couldn’t help but move closer to Jiang Ming.

Initially, he was astonished by Jiang Ming’s methods, but afterwards, the secrets he revealed made him scratch his head.

If it were a world of martial arts matter, that would be all.

Now it’s even involving the struggle between the Crown Prince and the other princes, and there might even be the possibility of a rebellion.”

Fucking hell!

His balls are aching.

“Dalin Temple’s Vajra Holy Monk, Demon Sect Leader Yang Kaitai, and the Northern Barbarian Great Grandmaster Iron War have all besieged me, I must take revenge!” Jiang Ming said coldly, “Once things are settled here, I will head to Dalin Temple to see if I can flatten the Gate of the Hill.”

“Brother Jiang, that’s Dalin Temple! It’s ancient and profound, there are Devil Slayer Hand techniques within the temple, which can’t be easily flattened,” Constable Jin hurriedly reminded, her face changed further, and she whispered, “And then what?”

Her voice trembled, her body cold.

Because she realized a possibility.

If he could flatten Dalin Temple, what of the Crown Prince?

“First flatten Dalin Temple, then wipe out the Demon Sect, and finally head to the Imperial Capital, I want to see if the Crown Prince’s head is harder than everyone else’s!” Jiang Ming had no intention of hiding his plans.

Because there was no need.

Constable Jin’s face went numb.

Lu Yuan looked to the heavens, he knew it would be like this, this was the Jiang Ming he knew. However, thinking of the situations that would occur in the future, his scalp tingled even with his debauched nature.

Lan seemed unconcerned.

Just after cleaning up the battlefield, Bai Yunfei and the others who rushed over with the corpses of the three Great Grandmasters froze and wanted to turn and leave.

Flatten Dalin Temple? Annihilate the Demon Sect? Kill the Crown Prince?

What the fuck!

This was no longer a matter of the scalp tingling, instead, they were stirring up the world’s chaos, which all parties could not stay out of if they really occurred.

Trouble came.

Who could stop this guy?

Even after slaying hundreds of experts in the world of martial arts, and killing three Great Grandmasters in a finger snap, not even Elder Zhang could necessarily stop him if he came down the mountain.

“Brother Jiang, I... I must leave first!” Constable Jin had an impulse to flee into the mountains and hide, taking a deep breath, suppressing the trembling of her heart, and left with a fist salute.

She needed to pass on the message.

“Brother Jiang, even if you want to take action, you can’t just not keep it secret. I’m afraid they’ll surround you again before you leave,” Lu Yuan reminded, “By that time, it’ll be even more terrifying, and a large army might even appear!”

“Sigh! 1 boarded your pirate ship, and not only this life but even the next one is doomed,” Lu Yuan sighed again.

Yet his stance was also clear.

“Should we kill to silence them?” He looked at the entrance.

Jiang Ming also looked over.

Outside, Bai Yunfei and the others all turned pale..
