ning. After today, there would be no Lu Jun from Dongzhou!"Alright, that's it for now. Let me know if anything comes up!" Ling Hao said, then hung up the phone directly."They're really looking for dea...[ ]

Although Xue Lin Zeng appeared relaxed on the surface, her heart was in turmoil!

She didn't expect that she would be targeted by a big shot like Ling Shuai!

This time, things really look grim. She has no idea if she'll even make it through today.

As the saying goes, "A person's name is like a tree's shadow." Just these two words, "Ling Shuai," are enough to fill her with despair!

"You're courting death!" Lu Yue's eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand as if to attack.

King of the West, Master of the Shadow Gate, how dare you speak to me in such a manner!

"Lu Yue!" Ling Hao said in a deep voice, stopping him. Then, he looked at Zeng Xue Lin.

Here's my advice, let him go and come with us. If you cooperate, maybe you'll have a chance to live!

"Kekeke..." Zeng Xue Lin giggled, her flowers trembling: "I didn't expect Ling Shuai to be so humorous!"

"This is your only chance, you're really not going to cherish it" Ling Hao spoke again, his voice as bland as ever.

"What do you think" Zeng Xue Lin smiled again, her voice laced with charm. "Even Lord Ling Shuai himself has come out in person. If I surrender now, will I even have a way out"

"You think by holding so many people hostage, you have the upper hand" Ling Hao's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Hmph, I heard it said that Ling Shuai's hands have never stained the blood of innocents."

Then Zeng Xue Lin continued, "If these people die because of you, I wonder if that counts as being killed by you"

"Heh heh, you overestimate yourself!" Ling Hao's eyes narrowed.

Boom!

The next moment, an overwhelming aura erupted from him like a burst dam, radiating outwards in all directions. It was a powerful and imposing force.

Whew! Whew! Whew!

Next, all the people at the scene except Lu Yue and the Judge were flung out like leaves scattered by autumn wind, their bodies twisted in midair.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Then, one by one they fell to the ground, but it seemed they weren't seriously injured.

This was clearly done on purpose by Ling Hao, otherwise, not to mention those hostages, even martial artists like Zeng Xue Lin wouldn't stand a chance of survival.

Whew! Whew!

Almost at the same moment that Ling Hao's aura exploded, Lu Yue and the Judge both moved simultaneously. Two afterimages shot out like phantoms, raising their hands to unleash gusts of energy.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In less than a minute, all of the assassins except Zeng Xue Lin were blown to pieces, none survived.

After spending so long by Ling Hao's side, the two of them had developed a deep understanding. They could tell what he meant by any movement he made.

Wow!

Everyone who saw the bloodstains on the ground vomited and turned pale.

"Ma He, are you dead If not, get up quickly and lead everyone away from here!" Lu Yue then looked at Ma He in the distance and said in a low voice.

"Yes... Yes, sir..." Ma He trembled all over, scrambled to his feet and shouted at everyone around him, "Get up quickly!"

Wow!

All the hostages, struggling to their feet, rushed towards the entrance of the manor.

"Now do you believe me" At the same time, Ling Hao's figure had already arrived in front of Zeng Xue Lin.

"I admit I underestimated you!"

Zeng Xuelin climbed up from the ground, her face changing several times. She knew she was finished.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Before her words could even leave her mouth, Ling Hao flipped his wrist, and three silver needles shot out, piercing her body.

"You...what did you do to me"

Zeng Xue Lin trembled all over, her voice filled with terror as she realized she couldn't channel even a shred of true qi.

"Don't be nervous, I've only temporarily sealed your cultivation!" Ling Hao said calmly, then added, "Just in case you commit suicide!"

Given his understanding of the Mògé, a killer organization of this level or higher, its members must have been brainwashed long ago and are always prepared to commit suicide.

He still had to get the truth from five years ago out of their mouth, naturally he wouldn't let them die so easily.

"What do you want to do" After hearing Ling Hao's words, Zeng Xue Lin was stunned.

She had a vague hunch that Ling Hao's visit this time wasn't entirely because she was from Mo Ge.

"I have something I'd like you to help me figure out!" Ling Hao replied.

"What... what's going on" Zeng Xue Lin's suspicions grew stronger and stronger.

"Remember the Zheng family from Dongzhou five years ago" Ling Hao said softly.

"Hmm!” Zeng Xue Lin trembled: "You...you are"

"Let me introduce myself," Ling Hao replied. "I'm the adopted son of the head of the Zheng family in Dongzhou. I managed to escape with my life five years ago."

"It's you!" Zeng Xue Lin exclaimed in shock, her face full of astonishment.

She finally knew why Ling Hao was afraid of her suicide!

"Tell me, what kind of person made you take action against the Zheng family What's your purpose" Ling Hao looked at the other party.

"I advise you not to try to lie. Otherwise, before you die, you will taste the agony of a life worse than death!"

Boom!

Zeng Xue Lin slumped down on the ground, her face etched with utter despair.

She didn't doubt Ling Hao's words at all. For someone of his level, it was too easy to get the truth out of her.

"Actually, I don't even know who the other party is..." After taking a deep breath, Zeng Xuelian spoke in a trembling voice.

"The other party has only met me once, and that was in disguise. All I know is that they come from a prominent family in the capital city."

He offered me billions to do this for him...

"Hmm" Ling Hao frowned. "What is the other party's purpose Why would they exterminate the Zheng family"

"That matter, from a certain point of view, was actually caused by you. The Zheng family was only implicated because of you." Zeng Xue Lin took another deep breath and replied.

"What do you mean!" Ling Hao's pupils shrank slightly.

"The other party's ultimate goal is to get the jade pendant on you!" Zeng Xuelian paused for a moment before continuing.

"Jade pendant" Ling Hao trembled all over.

At the same time, the image of the dragon-shaped pendant that Qin Yuxin had taken from me flashed in my mind.

That jade pendant was a birthday gift from his biological mother when he was young. He had always thought it was just an ordinary jade pendant of slightly higher value and never considered it to have any special significance!

"Yes!" Zeng Xuelian nodded.

"The other party demanded that we make it seem like we weren't specifically targeting you, and that we keep the identity of our Ink Pavilion hidden. They want others to believe that it's simply the Zheng family's enemies seeking revenge."

So, I first looked for Heishan Sha, the underground king of Dongzhou at the time, but he refused to help.

Then I went to look for the heads of the other three families in Dongzhou. The three families happened to hold a grudge against the Zheng family, so they hit it off immediately.

Boom!

Hearing this, a surge of intense hatred emanated from Ling Hao.

Pfft!

The next moment, Ling Hao spat out a mouthful of blood, his breath becoming abnormally disordered.

"Big brother!" Lu Yue and the Judge shouted out at the same time.rom that person, there aren't many people with that crescent moon birthmark on their right ear."Hmm!" The judge nodded vigorously. "I suspect he's disguised himself now. According to Yan He's descript...
