At this moment, behind the Yan Family mountain.
In the deepest part of the mountain belly, in front of a waterfall!
In the dim moonlight, it is clear to see that behind the hanging waterfall, there is a small cave, dark and deep, its end unseen.
This is the secluded retreat of the Yan Family's two tribute brothers—the Yang brothers!
Outside the waterfall, there is another figure, kneeling on the ground, speaking towards the cave behind.
This figure is none other than Mo Chong!
"Masters, this is how it was. Our senior brother was no match for Jiang Feng at all. Even at the last moment, he forced himself to break his limits, reaching the Middle Stage Maestro, yet he was still no match for Jiang Feng! In the end, he was kicked off the stage by Jiang Feng and died tragically!"
Mo Chong, filled with bitterness and hatred, had to report truthfully to his masters.
The cave remained silent.
But even the waterfall blocking the entrance began to tremble slightly!
This was enough to show the extent of the Yang brothers' raging anger inside!
Guan Hao, after all, was their most cherished disciple!
The one they hoped would inherit their legacy and become Binhai's number one expert, only to get killed by an unknown nobody just a day after leaving seclusion?!
"Mo Chong, where is your senior brother's body?" asked an aged voice in a deep tone.
"I have brought it back, it's right here!"
With that, Mo Chong quickly brought up the corpse behind him.
It was the body of Guan Hao, the one he retrieved from the Death Battle Arena, his face still showing an unwilling death!
Once again, the inside of the cave trembled, even the anger-filled pressure caused the waterfall to hum slightly!
With heavy footsteps, a figure finally reached the cave entrance, looked at Guan Hao through the waterfall with an incredibly grim expression!
The next second, this figure shattered the waterfall with a palm, causing a temporary break in its flow, then stepped forward coldly in front of Mo Chong.
"Greetings, Second Master!" Mo Chong hurriedly knelt and bowed, saluting the Second Master he hadn't seen for a long time!
This was the second of the Yang brothers, Yang Miao!
Decades ago, this renowned Yan Family Tributor had fought alongside Yan Jiu to conquer the world, striking fear across Binhai, ranked among the top four experts of the Binhai Old Generation, his strength unfathomable!
Yang Miao glanced at Guan Hao on the ground, a flicker of sorrow in his eyes, then stared at Mo Chong and said, "Where is Jiang Feng now?"
"I'm not sure. After I left the Death Battle Arena with Senior Brother's body, I didn't pay attention to anything else. He should still be in Binhai, he can't escape!"
Hearing Yang Miao's words, Mo Chong knew that he was going to avenge the senior brother personally, and quickly responded.
Yang Miao was different from Guan Hao. Although Yang Miao was also at Middle Stage Maestro, he had been in this realm for a long time, with a solid foundation and inner strength support.
Unlike Guan Hao, who was forced to reach Middle Stage Maestro and had impure inner strength and an unstable foundation.
Thus, Guan Hao essentially didn't improve much compared to before, and being kicked to death by Jiang Feng wasn't surprising.
"Find his exact location for me, I will personally take his head to avenge your senior brother!" Yang Miao said coldly.
"Yes!"
Mo Chong got up, just about to return to Yan Family Castle, when he suddenly heard a chaotic array of footsteps behind him on the mountain road.
Puzzled, he turned back and unexpectedly saw three elders of the Yan Family, along with a despondent Yan Zhen and the reporting elite leader, quickly walking this way.
Three elders who usually moved only with canes, suddenly walking briskly as if afraid of being chased by something.
"Hmm? The three elders and the Family Head, why are you all coming this way? What's happened?" Mo Chong sensed something was wrong, and asked Yang Miao.
At the same time, Yang Miao also noticed the five hurried individuals, and furrowed his brows.
"It's Yang Miao, the Tributor! Just in time, the family has trouble, only you can quell the external chaos!" Yan Zhen hurriedly appealed to Yang Miao with a panicked expression upon walking up.
"What happened?" Yang Miao asked indifferently.
"Brother Yang, long time no see!" The Great Elder greeted Yang Miao and then said, "It's Jiang Feng! That little bastard killed his way to our doorstep! Dealt with our Yan family's dark sentinels, infiltrated at night! I reckon he's up to no good!"
"What, that Jiang character barged in?" Mo Chong exclaimed in shock.
"Good, saves me the trouble of looking for him!" Yang Miao sneered. This news pleased him, with someone walking into a trap, what's not to like?
"Yang Miao, where's Brother Yang Yan? Why haven't I seen him come out?" The Great Elder peeked into the cave, asking.
Only Yang Miao came out, which worried him. Only a double insurance could ensure nothing would go wrong.
"Big Brother is at a critical moment of advancing to Late Stage Maestro, he can't come out! I alone am enough to handle that Jiang bastard!" Yang Miao said coldly.
Meanwhile, on the mountain road, Yan Ting, Yan Li, and others, each leading their families and side branch clansmen, headed this way as if escaping calamity!
This scenario was unexpected, even for the three elders and Yan Zhen—was the situation inside the castle worse than imagined?
"Three elders, Big Brother, so you're all here!" Yan Ting and Yan Li arrived nervously and said, "That Jiang guy already killed Second Brother, and is coming this way!"
What???
This thunderous news stunned everyone present again, even Yang Miao's expression shifted!
"Yan Lei is dead?" Yang Miao asked sharply.
"Yes! When we escaped, we saw Second Brother leading Qiu Long and all the castle's elites, trying to stop Jiang Feng, but he killed them all alone! Even Second Brother was kicked to death by him! We didn't dare to look after that, and rushed here!" Yan Ting said, drenched in cold sweat, nervously.
"Don't panic! So he has some skills, but now that he's here, I won't let him get away!" It was time to stabilize morale, and Yang Miao stood out with confidence!
Seeing the Second Tributor exuding strong confidence, Yan Ting and others finally calmed down a little.
"Everyone move back, watch me personally kill Jiang Feng, and defend Yan Family's honor!" Yang Miao said, like a stabilizer.
So, led by the three elders, Yan Zhen, Yan Ting, Yan Li, with all their families and clansmen, retreated behind Yang Miao.
If it weren't for fear of affecting the breakthrough of Great Sacrificial Officer Yang Yan, they might have shrunk back into the cave.
At this time, under their tense gazes, a figure wearing a Death God mask finally appeared in their sight, stepping into the night.
The night was dark and windy, perfect for murder, when cold mountains and crows cry like ghosts!
Is Jiang Feng here to meet his end, or has he already sounded the death knell for the Yan Family's annihilation?!
