Abroad, in a luxurious hotel in Neibi, Myanmar, Tarsen lay naked on a soft velvet bed, surrounded by two enchanting beauties. These two were top-tier actresses in Myanmar, but here with Tarsen, they were like two clingy little house cats, nestled beside him, allowing him to caress them.
"Master Yan Chen, don't be so excited. It takes some time for my people to enter China, and you know the situation in Binhai City. The entire city is under martial law. Surely, you don't want me to make a big scene, do you?"
Holding his phone in one hand, Tarsen used the other to wantonly caress a smooth, fair-skinned body in his arms.
"But it can't take too long. That Jiang guy is becoming more and more arrogant. Keeping him around is a serious threat!" Yan Chen said viciously.
"I got it. Don't worry. I'm sending three skilled operatives there, including my number two. He will definitely die. Just be patient and wait."
Confidently finishing his words, Tarsen hung up the phone. He still had an endless night of enjoyment ahead and didn't have time to chit-chat with Yan Chen.
"Damned old thing, I hope you won't disappoint me," Yan Chen muttered with lingering anger as he put down his phone, still feeling uneasy inside.
At this crucial moment when the Yan Family was making a reappearance in the world of martial arts, no mishaps could be allowed, especially no adverse factors. Jiang Feng already posed a deep threat to the long-lasting peace of the Yan Family. Acting first to eliminate the problem once and for all would allow Yan Chen to be at ease.
Just then, Yan Chen's phone rang again. Seeing the caller ID, his expression immediately became respectful: "Father, you're still awake so late?"
"Yan Chen, come to the family ancestral hall immediately; several elders have urgently convened an important meeting. Your presence is indispensable!" A cold voice said from the other end of the call.
Yan Chen's heart sank. He quickly replied, "Okay, I'm on my way now!"
Hanging up the phone, Yan Chen knew for certain that the matter of Jiang Feng killing Qiu Qianguo had been discovered by the family elders, which is why they were holding a family meeting so late at night!
Such a minor figure, yet he had managed to alarm the entire Yan Family. Yan Chen's hatred for Jiang Feng surged to a new height!
This also meant that the matter of him falling out with Murong Qian over Jiang Feng would inevitably come to the knowledge of the family, and could not be concealed!
Moreover, this was likely to affect his future status as a successor!
"You damn bastard Jiang Feng, you've ruined me!" Yan Chen gritted his teeth so hard that they nearly cracked, but he could only brace himself and head to the ancestral home.
...
That night, no one knew what transpired within the Yan Family. All they knew was that every member located outside the family headquarters had been summoned back to the ancestral hall to attend a family meeting late into the night.
This was the highest-profile, most sensational, and most mysterious meeting held by the Yan Family since the death of Yan Jiu.
No one knew what decisions were made at the meeting, but when Yan Chen returned to the Prince Mansion in the latter half of the night, his face was ashen, and his fingers nearly tore apart the steering wheel, appearing like a volcano ready to erupt!
Simultaneously, eight hundred miles away from Binhai City, in Yinpan Mountain, Jiangnan Province, over a hundred people, led by a few elders, hurriedly made their way to the back mountain, moving mysteriously and speaking in hushed tones.
Yinpan Mountain was a notable mountain in Jiangnan Province, not as famous as Wanxian Mountain, Wangwu Mountain, Laojun Mountain, or Chaiya Mountain, but still a well-known tourist destination.
Its scenery was beautiful, majestic, and striking. However, only the front half of the mountain was developed for tourists, with the summit and back mountain off-limits because the reclusive Tianyin Sect of the ancient martial world resided there.
At this moment, over a hundred disciples, led by several elders, stood in formation in front of a concealed cave entrance at the back mountain, waiting respectfully for the Sect Leader to emerge from seclusion.
At the appointed hour, a "boom!!!" echoed as a large stone sealing the cave entrance exploded from the inside out, dust swirling as a white-haired elder emerged.
"Greetings to Sect Leader Brother!!!" Instantly, the four elders outside the cave bowed in salutation, and the over one hundred outer and inner disciples hurriedly followed suit.
"Sect Leader Brother, how were the gains from this seclusion? Did you break through to the Middle Stage Maestro?" An elder stepped forward to inquire.
"My mind was distracted, I was close to success but fell just one step short!" The Sect Leader's face was gloomy, filled with immense reluctance.
"Uh…"
The four elders exchanged glances, unsure what to say. Another quickly chimed in, "Sect Leader Brother, don't brood over this failure. Next time you go into seclusion, you will surely succeed. Breaking through to the Middle Stage Maestro is just a matter of time for you!"
The Sect Leader snorted coldly, changing the topic: "Has there been any news about Luo Ying?"
"Not yet. I've sent an Outer Disciple to Binhai City to investigate. It seems something went wrong, as both Luo Ying and Ma Jiong, along with Diao Huan, are missing…" spoke the leading elder of the four, Lu Hou, the Vice Sect Leader of the Tianyin Sect.
"Are you suggesting even Luo Ying fell to that young man named Jiang?" The Sect Leader asked coldly.
"That is a possibility. After all, the last message Luo Ying sent was that he would bring back the young man, but then there was no word, and we still don't know if they are alive or dead…" Lu Hou replied cautiously.
"Ha, how absurd, the Law Enforcement Hall Elder of the revered Tianyin Sect killed by an unknown figure in the city. Wouldn't that make us a laughing stock?" The Sect Leader's eyes were icy, and a killing aura burst forth!
Even while in seclusion, he had a rough understanding of the situation in Binhai. His first disciple, Feng Yueji, had thrived there after betraying the sect. He had sent his most prized disciple, Ling Yifeng, along with the Outer Disciple Kang Li, to capture her, only for both to disappear.
He subsequently dispatched the sect's third-ranking figure, the Law Enforcement Hall Elder Luo Ying, to investigate, finding out they were killed by a young man named Jiang Feng. Luo Ying had been adamant about capturing Jiang Feng, but now he himself had vanished without a trace!
The Tianyin Sect Leader had failed his breakthrough due to these events, just barely missing the Middle Stage Maestro level!
"Sect Leader Brother, surely Luo Ying was careless. With his strength, there's no way he'd be defeated by a mere city youth. He's always been overly confident and underestimated his opponents!" Lu Hou analyzed.
"Regardless, as long as that young man surnamed Jiang is alive, he is an enemy of the Tianyin Sect. I intend to personally descend the mountain and tear him apart!" The Tianyin Sect Leader declared coldly!
