The night fog came and covered the stars in the sky. The entire White Sword City was shrouded in the dark night.
"Have you found out? Who is the murderer of Shan 'er? "
Wu Shang, the head of the Wu Family, was wearing a dark blue robe. His eyes were sunken into his cheeks, and he gave off a ferocious vibe.
"No, that person is very unfamiliar. We asked many people, but none of them knew him!" A guard of the Wu Family in a black robe said fearfully, "However, some people said that the Second Miss of the Qin Family, Qin Ruolan, was present at the scene. The murderer of the Second Young Master was sitting at the same table as them. We suspect that the murderer might be hiding in the Qin Family."
"Qin Ruolan, the Qin Family!" Wu Shang stared with his blood-red eyes. His murderous aura surged uncontrollably from his body.
"Let's go. Gather the Wu Family Iron Guards and follow me to the Qin Family. We will find the murderer even if we have to dig three feet into the ground!" Wu Shang said with a murderous aura.
"Head of the Wu Family, you are so angry!"
Suddenly, a strange voice sounded in the stifling atmosphere of the Wu Family Main Hall.
"Who is it?"
Wu Shang and the others were startled and immediately became alert.
"Don't be nervous. I'm just here to see you."
An illusory shadow suddenly appeared in the Wu Family Main Hall. It was faster than lightning. Wu Shang's pupils shrank rapidly as if he was facing a great enemy.
"Are you the murderer of my son?"
Wu Shang asked in a low voice as he looked at the man who was covered in a loose black robe. His face could not be seen clearly.
"No, I didn't kill your son. I'm just here to tell you one thing. Don't touch the Qin Family!" The black-robed man said with a hoarse voice.
"Damn it, who do you think you are? If you say we won't touch the Qin Family, we won't touch them!" A hot-tempered Wu Family expert roared angrily.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, an extremely sharp ray of sword light shot out from the black-robed man's body. With an ear-piercing sound, it cut the roaring Wu Clan expert in half, killing him on the spot.
"Good, good, good. The Qin Family is really bold. After killing my son, you dare to find someone to threaten us. Do you really think that the Wu Family is easy to bully?"
Seeing the black-robed man kill in front of everyone, Wu Shang was so angry that his face turned ashen. He immediately activated the Clan Protecting Array Formation, which enveloped the entire Wu Family Estate and formed a powerful Offensive Array Formation in the air above the main hall.
"Today, I'll kill you first, then wipe out the Qin Family. I'll let the people of White Sword City know the consequences of going against my Wu Family!"
Saying this, Wu Shang activated the power of the Offensive Formation Disc, which transformed into powerful runes that flew forward like flying swords.
"You want to hurt me with this level of attack?"
Although the formation patterns formed by the Offensive Array Disc were enough to threaten the average Divine Rank expert, they were unable to harm the black-robed man.
The offensive formation patterns were blocked by a powerful force, and when they were about to touch the black-robed man's body, they all exploded.
"What?!"
Wu Shang and the others widened their eyes in disbelief as they watched the river-like offensive array patterns explode one after another.
In the next moment, the black-robed man lightly pointed with a finger.
He extended a finger and the space was directly ripped apart by the sharp light. The terrifying finger stabbed into the rapidly spinning offensive formation disc, directly shattering the disc that was as tough as a low grade Empyrean saint artifact.
"You, who are you?!"
Seeing the black-robed man's strength, Wu Shang's heart trembled. It could be said that the black-robed man's battle prowess was beyond his imagination, causing him to feel extremely uneasy.
"Afraid?" The black-robed man's body flickered, and he suddenly appeared in front of Wu Shang, who was pale with fright and desperately retreating.
"Die!"
At this critical moment, a half-meter-long dark green sword appeared in Wu Shang's hand. It was a mid-grade Transcendent Saint Artifact, and it was filled with potent poison. He forcefully stabbed it at the black-robed man.
Swish!
Wu Shang's sword stabbed the black-robed man's chest, but before he could rejoice, the mid-grade Transcendent Saint Artifact sword suddenly shattered. This terrifying scene almost scared Wu Shang out of his wits.
Kacha!
Just as Wu Shang was using the Wu Family's inherited footwork to dodge with all his might, an unimaginable force violently slapped him on the shoulder, causing him to kneel on the ground.
"Soul Search!"
The black-robed man pressed his right hand on the top of Wu Shang's head and began to search his soul.
"Let go of the Family Leader!"
Seeing that Wu Shang was in danger, the Wu Family's experts all summoned their True Spirit Sacred Treasures and attacked.
However, the black-robed man's strength was too terrifying. Not only were the True Spirit Sacred Treasures unable to hurt him, but they were also shattered by the terrifying force in his body.
"No, don't kill me!"
Seeing the True Spirit Sacred Treasures shattering, Wu Shang was scared out of his wits. His whole body trembled as he kept begging for mercy.
"Don't be afraid, I won't kill you!"
The black-robed man unexpectedly obtained important information from Wu Shang's Soul Sea, so he suppressed the killing intent in his heart and did not start a massacre.
"Remember what I just said!"
The black-robed man retracted his right hand and glanced at the pale and frightened Wu Shang. He then turned and left.
After leaving the chaotic Wu Family, the black-robed man revealed a delicate face under the bright moonlight. He was Ye Chenfeng, who had secretly left the Qin Family Residence.
Ye Chenfeng originally wanted to kill the Wu Family Leader directly to give the Wu Family a warning and return Madam Jing Yi's kindness.
However, when he searched Wu Shang's soul, he obtained an unexpected reward, which made him change his mind.
In another year's time, the Three Sects and Two Clans would hold the Sword Palace Promotion Competition at the Sky Sword Mountain. The faction that could laugh at the crowd would be promoted to a Sword Palace and receive generous rewards from the Heavenly Sword Hall.
The Mountain Breaking Sword Sect's overall strength was not outstanding among the Three Sects and Two Clans, so they urgently needed to recruit talents and gather resources. This was also the reason why they had a marriage alliance with the Wu Family.
"If I make good use of this opportunity, I might be able to come into contact with the Heavenly Sword Hall!" Ye Chenfeng muttered to himself. He decided to stay in White Sword City for a while longer.
Ye Chenfeng secretly returned to the quiet Qin Family Residence. He laid down a restriction in his room and eliminated all distracting thoughts. He consumed a Chaos Divine Fruit and began to cultivate.
The Qin Family members viewed him as a jinx. Apart from Qin Ruolan, no one was willing to come into contact with him. Ye Chenfeng just happened to be happy with the peace and quiet.
Just as the Qin Family was in a state of anxiety and waiting for the Wu Family to take revenge, the Wu Family unexpectedly did not take revenge on them. They also did not pursue the murderer with great fanfare. This made Qin De and the others even more confused.
Even though the Wu Family did not take revenge, Qin De and the others did not let down their guard. They were still secretly searching for the real murderer of Wu Shushan.
Soon, more than two months passed.
Just as the matter of Wu Shushan's murder was gradually forgotten, the Wu Family's Chief Steward personally came to the Qin Family Residence.
When Chief Steward Wu came, he did not give the Qin Family an ultimatum to hand over the real murderer of Wu Shushan. Instead, he gave them an invitation.
The tenth disciple of the Mountain Breaking Sword Sect, Wan Ziao, would be coming to the Wu Family Residence to marry the eldest daughter of the Wu Family, Wu Fandie, in ten days. The Wu Family invited Qin De and the others to the Wu Family Residence for a banquet.
