Chapter 513: Killing to Keep Secrets

Upon hearing Lv Liang's words, the Copperman, Shen Feng, and several other black-clad individuals immediately kneeled down. They exclaimed with excitement, "Qin Tian has declared a killing order and become a public enemy. Those who don't want to die and those seeking revenge will definitely voluntarily join the Hall Master."

"Congratulations to the Hall Master. The day to unify the southern business world and martial arts is approaching!"

In the calm and steady gaze of the young Lv Liang, a trace of smugness could not help but appear. He whispered, "The matter inside the hall is top-secret."

"In the future, just call me Young Master."

After speaking, he quickly turned around and left.

...

Jiang Shao and Chen Teng were enjoying themselves, drinking and cherishing the anticipation of a better tomorrow. Suddenly, they received a call from their driver, like a bolt from the blue.

"What did you say?"

"Old Wang, say it again!"

Jiang Shao couldn't believe it. He even thought that the driver was joking with him.

This driver had served him for decades, and they had a close relationship in normal times. This time, to show his importance, Jiang Shao had his driver personally drive and escort the blind divine doctor and the others to negotiate with Qin Tian.

If Old Wang was deliberately playing a prank on him, it wouldn't be impossible.

But Old Wang's voice had changed.

"Master, I'm right outside this abandoned construction site. Come and see!"

"There are... corpses here!"

Jiang Shao and Chen Teng felt as if they had been struck on the head and rushed out, jumping into the car, frantically driving to the scene.

"Chen Da, Chen Er... Chen San!"

"Qi Lao!"

Seeing the bodies of the Chen brothers and the blind divine doctor, the two men's vision darkened, almost fainting.

These were the ace fighters of their two major families!

Yet, overnight, they all tragically died here.

"Who did this?"

"Tell me, who did it!" Jiang Shao yelled in madness.

After listening to the driver's description, he widened his mouth in astonishment.

"What did you say?"

"You mean, Qin Tian?"

Chen Teng said, "How is that possible!"

"Last night, we just impersonated Qin Tian and killed Bai Sha."

"Could it be..."

"Has the vengeful spirit of Bai Sha returned for revenge?"

Speaking of vengeful spirits, they suddenly felt that there seemed to be something terrifying hidden in the darkness around them, causing them to shudder involuntarily.

They didn't believe it was Qin Tian's doing. They also didn't believe that Qin Tian had such great power.

"Quickly, take them back."

"I have a way. I will find an expert to uncover the truth and avenge them!"

Jiang Shao wanted to leave. Although he was shocked by the incident, he still had confidence in his heart.

Because the blind old man was merely his superficial trump card.

His true trump card was the mysterious Night Hawk from King Island in the East Sea.

With Night Hawk and the power of King Island, he believed that he could handle these matters.

This was his secret, even Chen Teng didn't know about it.

"Master, there is one more thing there!" The driver pointed to a distant bush in panic.

Jiang Shao quickly looked over and saw a person lying in the dimness, in the distant bush.

He hurriedly ordered his men to turn the body over and see the person's face, unable to help but shout loudly.

"Night Hawk!"

"How is this possible!"

Just now, he had hoped to contact Night Hawk and let him find out the truth.

He thought that as long as Night Hawk was there, his grand plan as the alliance leader would not encounter any problems.

Never would he have expected that even Night Hawk, such a high-level cultivator, had died!

Who could kill Night Hawk?

At this moment, he suddenly felt a deep despair. It seemed that within the boundless night, there was a primordial beast that could devour everything.

Chen Teng frowned upon seeing Jiang Shao's expression.

According to reason, the blind divine doctor should be the highest-level cultivator by Jiang Shao's side. However, when they saw the blind divine doctor's body just now, Jiang Shao didn't have such a big reaction.

Could it be that this person's identity was even more important than the blind divine doctor?

It seemed that Jiang Shao had hidden his trump card.

He was about to say something when, using the light, he saw a word next to Night Hawk's hand.

Although it was a bit sloppy, it was still discernible as the character "口" (mouth).

"Jiang Xiong, take a look, what does this mean?"

"Could it be that this brother wanted to give us a clue beforehe died?"

Jiang Shao also saw this character. He furrowed his brow and said, "The enemy thought that Night Hawk had died, so they left in haste."

"But Night Hawk, relying on his determination, wanted to come back and inform me. However, his injuries were too severe, and he collapsed here."

"He wrote this character before he died, which must be related to the culprit."

"Mouth?"

"What does it mean?"

"口..." Chen Teng murmured to himself and suddenly said, "I know!"

"Killing to keep secrets!"

"Night Hawk wanted to tell us that they were silenced by someone."

"It must be Qin Tian!"

"I didn't expect Qin Tian to have such ambitions. We underestimated him, thinking that we could obtain the two votes in his hands."

"But little did we know, he also wanted to become the alliance leader. So, he set up an ambush and killed our high-level cultivators."

"In this way, there will be no one who can deal with him!"

Jiang Shao remained silent, his brow furrowed.

He felt that there was something suspicious about this matter. It was too hasty to conclude that Night Hawk wanted to point out that Qin Tian killed to keep secrets based solely on the word "mouth."

"This matter needs further consideration. Let's go back first."

"Be careful, and make sure to properly store Night Hawk's body."

"After I contact his master, it's very likely that we'll have to transport him back to the East Sea."

After returning, Chen Teng and Jiang Shao couldn't sleep all night. After careful consideration, Chen Teng finally made a decision.

That is, to request assistance from the Lu family.

He firmly believed that these people were killed by Qin Tian. Among the five major families, only the Lu family remained uninvolved and intact. The other four families had almost suffered complete losses in terms of high-level cultivators.

Therefore, if they wanted to deal with Qin Tian, they could only seek help from the Lu family.

"Brother Jiang, please forgive my frankness. Your precious niece, Tian Tian, is always running to the Lu family."

"You understand her feelings for Young Master Lu Liang better than I do."

"There's a saying that goes, 'A woman's heart is unpredictable.' If she really can marry Young Master Lu Liang, then your Jiang family and the Lu family will become one."

"At a time like this, if we don't ask them for help, who else can we turn to?"

"We can't just sit back and watch Qin Tian ascend to the position of alliance leader, can we?"

Jiang Shao pondered in silence.

In fact, he had always been vigilant against the Lu family. He felt that Lu Liang was intentionally guiding his daughter's actions, with the aim of swallowing up the Jiang family's assets.

That was why he didn't hesitate to seek support from the East Sea, just to secure the position of the alliance leader.

Only by becoming the alliance leader could he ensure that his family's interests would not be eroded.

He didn't oppose his daughter marrying Lu Liang. However, when it came to forming an alliance, the strength of both sides would directly determine the final balance of power.

If he became the alliance leader, he could not only ensure the safety of his own interests but even had ambitions to gradually devour the colossal entity that was the Lu family.
