Shenlang held the blood-sucking blade and stepped in front of Su Xinghe.
He looked at him mockingly and said lightly, "Su Family Head, long time no see."
Su Xinghe sighed, "Shenlang, do it."
Su Murong was dead, and the Su Family's power was gone. He didn't want to make a last-ditch struggle.
A blade flashed, and Su Xinghe's head instantly flew into the sky. Blood gushed out like a fountain.
A thin line of blood was absorbed by the blood-sucking blade. Shenlang felt that the True Qi in his body was purer.
No one mourned for Su Xinghe's death. Jianghu was like this. Jianghu people were Jianghu people. Once they stepped into Jianghu, life and death were determined by fate. Either they became an overlord and dominated the world, or they were beheaded.
After killing Su Xinghe, Shenlang felt relieved. Although Su Xinghe's strength wasn't strong, he was insidious and cunning. He always schemed against you in the dark, which was very troublesome.
After Shenlang killed Su Xinghe, he turned to the surrounding martial artists of Jiang City and cupped his fists, "Thank you for your help."
"Young Master Shen, you're being too polite. We've received so much help from the Shen family, and we're only doing what we can. It's not worth mentioning."
"Yes, Shen Gongzi is too polite. If there is anything in the future, Shen Gongzi can tell us. We will not refuse."
Listening to the cheers of the crowd, Shenlang smiled. This was repayment. Without the Shen Family's help, how could he get the help of these martial artists?
Although the martial artists of Jianghu were nothing, if they could unite, they definitely couldn't be underestimated. Their strength wasn't strong, but their numbers were large. If someone could really unify these martial artists, then their power would definitely not be weaker than those top forces.
Then the martial artists crowded around Shenlang and headed back to Jiang City. Along the way, some passersby were envious.
As soon as he returned to the Shen Family, Shen Wuming greeted him and said solemnly, "Lang 'er, I heard that the Li family has made a move?"
Shenlang nodded, "Yes, Li Zongquan was injured and ran away. I killed the rest."
Shen Wuming said seriously, "Lang 'er, this Li family is not simple. You have to be careful."
When Shen Wuming received the news that the Li family had made a move against Shenlang, he was shocked. Shen Wuming had wandered the Jianghu before. Although the Li family was only a first-rate force in a province, they were not simple. It was said that the Li family's ancestor who founded the Li family was not dead, but in seclusion.
Although no one had received news that the Li family's ancestor was still alive, no one dared to offend the Li family. When the Li family's ancestor was in seclusion, he was already at the peak of the Void Transformation Stage. Although he was old, if he had broken through to the Void Refinement Stage, he might still be alive.
In the Zhenwu Continent, Xiantian experts had a lifespan of 100 years. However, if they broke through to the Void Realm, they would have a lifespan of 300 years.
If the Li family's ancestor broke through to the Void Refinement Stage, his lifespan would reach 400 years. Calculating the time, if the Li family's ancestor had broken through, he would definitely still be alive.
As for why he had not come out of seclusion until now, it was probably because he was still comprehending the Martial Dao. After all, if nothing major happened to the Li family, he would have nothing to do.
Shenlang smiled, "Father, don't worry."
Shenlang was not too worried about the Li family. Although there were rumors that the Li family's ancestor had broken through to the Void Refinement Stage, Shenlang did not believe it.
If the Li family's ancestor had really broken through to the Void Refinement Stage, the Li family would definitely not be so obedient. Even if they did not expand, they would not stop making small moves.
With the destruction of the Su family, the Shen Family had become the number one family in the entire River City.
.....
On this day, Shenlang was cultivating in his room when he heard Qing 'er knocking on the door, "Young Master, the Family Head wants you to make a trip to the main hall."
Shenlang slowly stopped cultivating and opened his eyes, "Qing 'er, Father is looking for me. Did he say what's the matter?"
Qing 'er replied, "I heard from the guard that the City Lord, Wei Zhang, and the Star Pavilion Branch Master, Liu Wuqing, are here."
Shenlang's eyes flashed as he muttered, "They are here?"
Shenlang was not surprised by the arrival of Wei Zhang and Liu Wuqing.
Since Zhao Qi and Yan Tian had died in the Lifeless Mountain Range, the Imperial Court and the Stellar Pavilion would definitely ask about it. As for why Wei Zhang and Liu Wuqing had come so late, it might be because too many things had happened in Jiang City. Hence, Wei Zhang and Liu Wuqing did not come over immediately.
Shenlang brought Gao Jianli and Kim No-myung all the way to the Shen Family's main hall.
Liu Wuqing and Wei Zhang sat in the main hall with gloomy faces and waited quietly. The entire main hall was shrouded in a strange atmosphere.
Now that the Shen Family was no longer the same as before, Shen Wuming was no longer as cautious as before. Instead, he smiled and chatted with Wei Zhang and Liu Wuqing.
Seeing Shenlang enter, Wei Zhang and Liu Wuqing's eyes flashed.
Shenlang walked forward and bowed respectfully to Shen Wuming. "Father."
"Yes, Lang 'er is here. Have a seat."
Shen Wuming said with a smile.
As Shenlang sat down, the atmosphere in the main hall became heavy.
Shen Wuming knew that the arrival of Wei Zhang and Liu Wuqing was not simple.
Seeing that Liu Wuqing was not going to speak first, Wei Zhang said in a deep voice, "Shenlang, I came here today to ask where Lord Zhao went. Why didn't he come back with you? "
"The imperial court has already asked. I hope that Shen Gongzi can tell us the truth."
Shenlang was now very famous in River City. Before Wei Zhang was sure that he would fall out with Shen Lang, he did not want to offend Shen Lang too much.
Seeing that Wei Zhang had spoken, Liu Wuqing immediately said, "Also, Shen Gongzi, please tell us about Elder Yan Tian and Elder Yan of the Star Pavilion."
Shenlang thought to himself, "As expected." His expression did not change as he said, "City Lord Wei, Pavilion Master Liu, after I finished exploring the Lifeless Mountain Range with Lord Zhao and Elder Yan, we did not find anything and left separately. To be honest, I do not know where they went."
Hearing Shenlang's words, Wei Zhang was angry. However, when he saw Gao Jianli and Kim No-myung behind Shenlang, he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Shen Gongzi, Lord Zhao's status is not low. If Shen Gongzi knows anything, please tell me. Otherwise, when the imperial court sends an official, I will not be so polite."
A threat, a naked threat. Wei Zhang was using the imperial court to pressure Shenlang.
Liu Wuqing, who was beside Wei Zhang, also looked at Shenlang with evil intentions. He probably had the same thoughts as Wei Zhang.
Even if Shenlang had many experts under him, they did not believe that Shenlang would dare to offend two top forces at the same time.
"Haha!"
When Shenlang heard Wei Zhang's words, he shook his head and smiled. Then, he narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "City Lord Wei, do you know where you are right now?"
As Shenlang's voice fell, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became heavy. The swords in Gao Jianli and Kim No-myung's hands trembled as if they were about to be unsheathed at any moment.
Sensing Gao Jianli and Kim No-myung's killing intent, Wei Zhang's expression changed and he said in a deep voice, "Shenlang, what is the meaning of this?"
"Nothing, I just want you to understand a principle."
Shenlang lazily leaned back in his chair and said indifferently.
In truth, Shenlang did not want to have such a tense relationship with Wei Zhang and Liu Wuqing. After all, the two of them were backed by the imperial court and the Stellar Pavilion. Shenlang's current strength was not enough to go against these two forces. However, he still needed to maintain a proper attitude. The stronger he was, the less likely it would be for the two forces to suspect him.
"Phew!"
Wei Zhang exhaled deeply and looked deeply at Shenlang. Then, he stood up and left with a flick of his sleeves.
Shenlang's meaning was clear. He was telling Wei Zhang that this was the Shen Family and that he should watch his words.
However, Wei Zhang couldn't do anything about it. He could only leave hatefully.
After Wei Zhang left, Shenlang looked at Liu Wuqing with a mocking gaze.
Wei Zhang had brought up the imperial court and still could not make Shenlang give in. Liu Wuqing did not think that he would be able to get anything out of Shenlang. Then, he stood up and left with a cold face.
When he returned to his room, Gao Jianli asked worriedly, "Young Lord, if the imperial court and the Stellar Pavilion really investigate, I'm afraid there will be a danger of being exposed."
Shenlang smiled faintly and said meaningfully, "Don't worry, I have already thought of a solution."
Looking at Shenlang's confident smile, Gao Jianli felt relieved.
