Yang Tianrui felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His heart ached for Yang Shi.    

When he heard that his son had been detained, he felt a surge of pain in his heart. When he heard that his son was captured, the first emotion that filled his heart wasn't anger—it was pain. It was as if a bomb exploded inside his body, and the aftershock was forcing itself out of his every orifice.    

"What were you guys doing? You couldn't even protect my son!"    

"You trash, how dare you escape, leaving my son alone! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"    

Yang Tianrui was currently only acting out of his rage. He pulled out his longsword with a clanking sound and prepared to kill the messenger on the spot.    

"Yang Family Head, please calm down."    

"Since the murderer had only captured the young master, he must have some ulterior motive."    

"Yang Shi is safe for now. Family Head, you must calm down first. Don't panic."    

Ye Lingfeng stepped forward to stop Yang Tianrui. The other guests also surrounded him.    

Under the persuasion of the young master of the Ye family and the other guests, Yang Tianrui gradually calmed down.    

"Everyone, I'm sorry. I lost my composure."    

In a bid to calm himself down, Yang Tianrui took a deep breath and held it. Slowly, his face turned as crimson as a pig's liver. He glared at the messenger and said, "Why are you still not telling me the details?"    

"While the young master was on his way back after hunting, we ran into an expert, and the young master ended up provoking him."    

The messenger prostrated on the ground and said with a trembling voice, "He seemed like Initial Martial Mortal, but he was so strong that he was able to four of us. He actually defeated four Martial Mortals with a single strike!"    

"After defeating us, he captured the young master. The murderer has demanded that the family head must send an Initial Martial Mortal with 200,000 gold coins to the Green Deer territory within half a day."    

"Oth-otherwise, he would send the severed head of the young master to our family gate. He said by doing this, he would destroy the Yang family's dignity and reputation."    

"What!"    

Yang Tianrui's face already red face now looked like an apple. "Ridiculous! This is so ridiculous!"    

"Son of a bitch! A mere Initial Martial Mortal dares to be so arrogant!"    

Yang Tianrui was furious. Right now, his face was alternating from red to green to white—it was as if he had a dye shop on his face.    

The dignified patriarch of the Yang family was actually being threatened by a mere Martial Mortal. This was a source of great shame and humiliation.    

Yang Tianrui swore that once he found the murderer, he would let him experience every variety of torture that this world had to offer.    

Other than Yang Tianrui, the other guests at the gathering were also shell-shocked.    

"This man is too arrogant. He actually dares to ask for 200,000 gold coins!"    

"But don't you think that this guy is actually quite powerful? He defeated four opponents of the same level with crushing force!"    

"I wonder who that person is?"    

"Right, not long ago, in the Golden Fruit Building... Young Master Ye Lingfeng's sixth brother..."    

The guests discussed animatedly before turning their attention to Ye Lingfeng, who was frowning slightly.    

"Sect Master of Yang family, this murderer is really audacious. His arrogance knows no bounds."    

Ye Lingfeng continued, "I'm willing to help you find Yang Shi and kill the captor."    

"I appreciate Young Master Ye Lingfeng's kindness."    

Yang Tianrui squeezed out a smile and continued, "... but I can handle such a small matter myself."    

"No, the murderer could defeat four Initial Martial Mortals in one move. I'm afraid his real combat strength is already at the Advanced Martial Mortal Realm."    

Ye Lingfeng's eyes turned cold as he said, "From this, I'm sure that the captor and the person responsible for attacking the Golden Fruit building are one and the same person."    

Yang Tianrui was stunned for a brief moment before asking, "But isn't the culprit behind the Golden Fruit Building incident still inside the city?"    

"The traces left by the murderer are too bogus. It must be a trick."    

Ye Lingfeng shook his head. "I think the first eyewitness can help us identify if they are different or not.    

I have to go back and report it to the higher-ups. They need to adjust their investigation and deploy a team for the culprit's capture."    

"This..."    

Yang Tianrui became a little hesitant.    

Ye Lingfeng was well aware of Yang Tianrui's worries, so he said, "Don't worry, Yang Family Head. We will prioritize Yang Shi's safety."    

"In that case, I will leave it to young master Ye Lingfeng."    

Yang Tianrui nodded and said to his confidant, "Yang Zhen, immediately go and get 20 Middle-Grade Spiritual Stones. When the time comes, you will be the one to deliver them to the Green Deer territory."    

...    

Meanwhile, on Su Lang's side:    

Su Lang had arrived at his destination — the Gold Flame Leopard's E-class territory.    

Although he hauled a big profit halfway, his main plan still could not be delayed.    

The E-class area was clearly much more dangerous than the F-class area. Event the geography structure made it hard for one to move freely.    

Moreover, not only was this are filled with E-class Vicious Beasts, but it even had F-class medicinal Vicious Beasts. If a Body Tempering Realm cultivator dared to come here, they were just courting death.    

Even for a lone Standard Martial Cultivator, it would be very dangerous. Most of them formed teams to hunt, and in the end, they would receive dividends.    

Even the dividends were plenty valuable. After all, had they been cheap, they would fly off the shelves.
