1023: Chapter 1024: Annihilation 1023: Chapter 1024: Annihilation Tonight was destined to be an unforgettable night for Nangong Yu.

This Jincheng, it seemed, could no longer accommodate him.

He didn’t even dare to go home, but directly called his wife, asking her to leave Jincheng under the cover of night.

Nangong Yu headed straight for Xiongcheng City.

Perhaps only in the Xiao Family Forbidden Ground could he preserve his life.

“Nangong Yu has fled!”

Lin Qingteng looked at Qiu Long and asked, “Should your subordinate pursue him?”

“No need!”

Qiu Long smiled, “He naturally has his reasons for running!”

Lin Qingteng was stunned.

Qiu Long’s words left him somewhat puzzled.

He increasingly found Qiu Long terrifying, this man, though only in his thirties, was even more ruthless, more treacherous, and more fearsome than Qiu Qianren.

It seemed as though everything was within his grasp, as if nothing could escape his control.

There was a time when someone had impersonated him and caused trouble among the Noble Clans.

Even Qiu Qianren had questioned him, but Qiu Long told him not to worry, he believed him.

On what basis did he believe?

Lin Qingteng himself didn’t understand.

Today, he was even more puzzled; it was clear that Qiu Long had intentionally let Nangong Yu escape, but why, Lin Qingteng still didn’t understand.

Furthermore, he had originally prepared tonight’s event to accuse the Qiu Family, but who could have anticipated that the outcome would be this.

The Shangguan Family’s Crossbow Team.

Those two mysterious experts.

They were all borrowed by Qiu Long.

How he borrowed them, even Qiu Qianren didn’t know.

The battle in the courtyard was still ongoing.

Some wanted to escape like Nangong Yu, but was that possible?

Nangong Yu was deliberately let go by Qiu Long, so he could escape, but the others couldn’t.

When the two experts took action, it was basically one punch per person, even killing two with one move.

Wherever they went, they reaped lives as easily as mowing grass.

Too terrifying!

Such experts were assisting the Qiu Family, no wonder the Qiu Family was so tyrannically overbearing.

Sitting in the living room and looking at the monitor, Qiu Qianren was also somewhat shocked; had his son finally found people to help from that place?

But why, why did that place so readily lend his son such two powerful experts?

His feelings were very complicated.

Tonight was supposed to be a good day for the Qiu Family, but Qiu Qianren couldn’t feel happy.

There seemed to be a cloud of dark miasma ahead, completely obscuring the road.

“Spare me, please spare me!”

“I won’t dare again, never again!”

“We are willing to submit to the Qiu Family!”

“Ah–!”

“Help–!”

“Qiu Long, you will not die a good death, you will definitely pay the price!”

Screams, pleas for mercy, and curses intertwined into a cacophony.

In just a short moment, more than three hundred experts from fifty-seven families were slain to the last man.

The thick scent of blood permeated the air, the sensation was too terrifying.

The people from the Hades Organization, they were all monsters, they revered martial power, killing was in their nature.

To them, in this world, only they are the most noble.

Others were worthless!

Always ready to take lives, those worthless ones, utterly useless.

Lin Qingteng watched, shivering all over.

Where exactly did the experts Qiu Long invited come from, this was too cruel, too venomous.

Everything was over.

Headed by the Nangong Family, more than three hundred strong from fifty-seven families, were all killed, the scene was unimaginably bloody and terrifying.

“Lin Qingteng, heed my orders.

You will take your men to deal with the matters concerning these fifty-seven families.

Tonight, I want not a single blade of grass to survive in those fifty-seven families.”

Qiu Long said coldly.

“As you command!”

Lin Qingteng’s heart trembled.

Qiu Long was ruthless, wanting to eradicate them root and stem.

Yet, he felt a rush of excitement.

Following such a man, his future might shine even brighter.

“Follow me!”

Lin Qingteng gathered his troops and turned to leave.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, for Jincheng was about to change.

After Lin Qingteng had left, Qiu Long entered the grand hall.

Qiu Qianren was still seated there, still somewhat out of sorts.

Beside him sat another person, a middle-aged man.

He was none other than the Shangguan Family’s head, Shangguan Feihong.

“Shangguan Patriarch, thank you for your strong support today.

The tasks that needed to be done are complete, now it’s time to discuss business!”

Qiu Long looked at Shangguan Feihong without a hint of nervousness.

Shangguan Feihong took a sip of tea and turned to Qiu Long, “Is that Xiao Chen really the young master of the Xiao Family?

The same family that once commanded the heroes of the Southern Region from Linhai?”

“There’s no mistake.

Though Xiao Enze has aged, his son is formidable.

It took us a long time to uncover his hidden identity.

He is indeed that very Xiao Family’s young master.

I even suspect that this whole game was orchestrated by Xiao Enze and Ye Jianguo.”

Qiu Long said coldly.

Listening to their conversation, Qiu Qianren was somewhat confused.

He didn’t quite grasp what the two men were discussing, but it sounded quite terrifying.

Qiu Long continued, “I suspect, Xiao Chen has hidden his identity for so many years for one purpose: to destroy your Shangguan Family and take revenge for the Xiao Family.

Don’t think I don’t know.

Back then, the Xiao Family was the only power in the Southern Region that could stand against the top aristocratic clans of the North.

At that time, your Shangguan Family had already declined and could hardly be considered a first-rate family.

Yet later, by betraying the Xiao Family, you leaped to the top ranks of the aristocratic families.

The one who helped you from behind was King.

King decides who succeeds and who fails.

If you don’t deal with the Xiao Family, they will certainly deal with you, don’t say I didn’t warn you!”

Shangguan Feihong’s eyes suddenly emitted a deep murderous intent.

His position as the top aristocrat of the Shangguan Family was secured by betraying the Xiao Family.

Without that incident, King wouldn’t have helped them.

Thus, their greatest concern had always been the rise of the Xiao Family.

Seeing Xiao Enze and Ye Jianguo together made them even more restless.

Hearing about the rise of the Xiao Family Forbidden Ground, they had their suspicions.

Now, they were utterly convinced.

His murderous intent deepened; rather than waiting for revenge, it was better to strike first.

The contemporary Jiangnan Xiao Family had been single-handedly built by the former young master of the Linhai Xiao Family.

A rise to power?

Absolutely not possible!

“Over the years, your Shangguan Family has exerted much effort to maintain its top position, and it’s for this reason that you joined the Hades Organization, correct?”

Qiu Long laughed.

Shangguan Feihong gave Qiu Long a cold look, his gaze brimming with icy murderous intent.

“No need to be angry.”

Qiu Long rolled up his sleeves and then, peeled off the fake tattoo on his arm.

Beneath it was a Satan pattern.

That was also the mark of the Hades Organization.

This mark couldn’t be faked due to the use of special materials, which were immediately recognizable.

“I never expected, at such a young age, you are also a member of Hades.

I kept wondering where those two experts came from, now I understand.”

Shangguan Feihong was stunned, now it all made sense.

This Qiu Long was deeply concealed.
