In the southern part of the city, a massive estate stood by the Yuan River. This estate was even larger than the estates of many nobles and ministers.
This was the residence of a Philanthropist Yang. All the people living in the southern part of the city knew of Philanthropist Yang as a famous man of wealth involved in many fields of business: mining, butchery, precious gems, tea leaves… He had accumulated enormous wealth, but he was also very kind and charitable. He would often set up porridge kitchens to feed the city's beggars and impoverished.
To those tenant farmers facing difficulties, he would often generously excuse them from paying rent.
As a result, he had an extremely high reputation in this area of the city.
But at this moment, no one knew that Philanthropist Yang's residence was covered in corpses. The bodies of maids and servants were scattered everywhere.
A group of black-robed people had gathered amongst the corpses.
”Damn it! An entire day has passed, so why hasn't Lu Wu returned?”
”Could Lu Wu really have been killed? That's impossible—Lu Wu is impervious to weapons and has a powerful vitality. What sort of person would be able to kill him?”
”Have you sent someone to investigate?”
”No! The area around the Wang Clan is under heavy guard. It's not even possible to get close.”
……
A group of black-robed people walked into the main hall, appearing greatly annoyed and uneasy. Lu Wu had 'disappeared'. Not even if they were beaten to death would they have ever dared to believe that such a thing could happen.
A short black-robed person, around 1.5 meters tall, fearfully said, ”Leader, if those above learn that we've lost Lu Wu, we'll probably all be killed!”
”What are you afraid of? They still don't know, right?” said the black-robed leader wearing the demon mask impatiently.
”No one can kill Lu Wu, no one. Send someone to go and see. I need to know what happened after we left!”
”If you want to know what happened, I'll tell you!”
The candles in the hall flickered as a bright and young voice came from outside. Upon hearing this voice, the hall fell into an uproar.
”Who is it?!”
With a shout, all the black-robed people turned to the door, several of them immediately jumping toward it. But before they could get very far, boom! The doors fell inward as the corpse of a black-robed man was thrown through them like a stone, crashing into the center of the hall.
”Everyone, long time no see!”
Outside the door in the flickering light, Wang Chong stood smiling in a purple cape and confidently strode over the threshold.
”It's you!”
Although the black-robed people were stunned at the sight of Wang Chong, they immediately noticed that they had made a mistake. They had never 'seen' Wang Chong before, and their words just now had essentially been a confession.
But none of this was important now. Wang Chong should never have appeared here in the first place.
”Hmph, after so long and all the gifts you've given me, it's about time we met,” Wang Chong said with a grim smile.
Even though he had been attacked by these black-robed people three times now, this was Wang Chong's first time seeing their true selves.
”Li Siye, strike!”
At Wang Chong's command, the walls of the hall collapsed and countless people charged in.
”Shit! Run!”
The leader of the black-robed people paled as the hall collapsed. He shot a hurried glance through the clouds of dust and saw that the yard outside was full of people. Wang Chong had brought thousands of people with him, and all of them were top-notch experts.
This was the strength of an elite clan. Since Wang Chong had discovered their nest, he naturally wouldn't come alone, instead calling over all the helpers he could find.
With the Wang Clan's current status, Wang Chong only needed to give the call for thousands of experts to respond. Wang Chong had only brought a small portion of them.
In dealing with these black-robed people, Wang Chong was a lion going all-out against a rabbit, sparing nothing. Since they had dared to attack him, they shouldn't think about leaving alive.
Bang! The black-robed leader stomped on the ground, sensing that something was wrong and immediately leaping out of the hall, quickly vanishing into a cloud of dust.
”Hmph, can you escape?”
Wang Chong made no attempts to pursue as he looked in the direction that the leader fled. He had gathered so many experts to deal with these black-robed people that it would be stranger if they actually managed to succeed in their escape.
”Everyone, don't be afraid. Work together and kill this brat.”
”As long as we can capture this brat and use him to coerce the rest, we can still escape.”
“Kill this child of destruction and those above will definitely reward us.”
