C39 The Main Culprit Behind the Murder of His Own Body



C39 The Main Culprit Behind the Murder of His Own Body

"Sixth young master! Why are you here?"    

    

The bald man now had a flattering smile on his face; his previous arrogance and overbearing aura couldn't be seen anywhere.    

    

"Why am I here?"    

    

"Do you think you are worthy of knowing my thoughts?"    

    

The short-haired man sneered and sat down on the sofa.    

    

"I dare not!"    

    

Cold sweat appeared on serpent-patterned bald men. On his bald head, those droplets were unbearably apparent.    

    

The bald man was a mere dog that Ye Liang, the sixth young master, raised. How could he disrespect his owner?    

    

"Humph!"    

    

Ye Liang snorted coldly and said, "I came here to ask you something."    

    

"Please speak, Young Master!"    

    

Black Serpent, the serpent-pattern bald man, nodded respectfully.    

    

"A few days back, the stronghold of the Broken Axe Hunting Group was destroyed."    

    

"And just now, Ye Family's F-grade stronghold was also attacked."    

    

"Our experts compared the wounds and found that we were attacked by the same person. So, I came to ask..."    

    

"Did you offend someone strong recently?"    

    

Ye Liang's words caused Black Serpent's expression to change drastically; he was stunned.    

    

"Ye-Ye Family's stronghold was attacked as well?"    

    

He was so shocked that his mouth opened inadvertently and his eyeballs nearly fell out of their sockets.    

    

The Ye Family was one of the four major powers in Red Maple City. Which rat was ballsy enough to stroke the whiskers of the tiger-like Ye family?    

    

"You heard it right. Someone dared to offend the Ye family!"    

    

"Once I find him, I'll make him live a long life—a life worse than death that is."    

    

Ye Liang's expression was cold. "Now, tell me if you have any suspects."    

    

"Subordinate... This subordinate has offended a lot of people..."    

    

Black Serpent said in a trembling voice, "But none of them should be able to cause us a problem. I always remove the problem from the roots..."    

    

"Humph, forget it. Just bring me what I ask."    

    

Ye Liang snorted. "Go and get the gold coins that you collected last week. I'll buy medicinal pills to breakthrough the Intermediate Martial Mortal realm."    

    

"Young master, you are already about to breakthrough?"    

    

"You're so amazing, Young Master. Indeed worthy of being our young master. We boors are nothing compared to you!"    

    

Black Serpent was surprised at first, but then, he began licking Ye Liang's boots, doing his best to please him.    

    

"Cut the crap, go quickly!"    

    

Ye Liang waved his hand, and Black Serpent immediately went to get the gold coins.    

    

Before long, Black Serpent carried a big box back to the room and placed it in front of Ye Liang. "Young Master, there is a total of 1,265 gold coins inside."    

    

"Very good."    

    

Ye Liang was pleased, so he nodded and was about to order Black Serpent to send more people to investigate this matter.    

    

"Ah!"    

    

However, they were all stunned when they heard a gut-wrenching scream from the outside.    

    

"What's going on?"    

    

Ye Liang, Black Serpent, and the Quasi Martial Cultivator all looked towards the door simultaneously.    

    

At this moment, footsteps could be heard from outside. Those faint footsteps and hushed screams gave everyone inside anxiety.    

    

"Haha! This sixth young master of the Ye Family has 1,265 gold coins."    

    

On the roof of the building next door, the corner of Su Lang's mouth curled up, revealing a strange and wild smile.    

    

Meeting Ye Liang, the guy who ordered his death, at the Broken Axe Hunting Group's headquarters was out of even his expectations.    

    

It was a surprise, but a pleasant one.    

    

Inside the Golden Fruit Building, the footsteps were getting closer and closer.    

    

Soon, they could smell the ferric scent of blood in the sir.    

    

"Who is it?"    

    

"Who dares to kill people in the Golden Fruit Building so recklessly?"    

    

Black Serpent was shocked, once again. He could've never expected that someone would dare to kill so blatantly in their hunting team's headquarters.    

    

"What are you panicking about?"    

    

Ye Liang shouted coldly, "With Elder Lu here, we can deal with anyone."    

    

As if reassuring everyone, the old man behind Ye Liang stepped forward. One look and anyone could feel an unfathomable aura coming from the old man.    

    

Right now, they could finally see the owner of the footsteps at the door.    

    

Black robe, white mask, a blood-stained saber, and a head clutched by the hair—that was the sight that entered their eyes.    

    

His head was hidden under a dark hood, and his face was covered by a white mask. The blood drops on his hood weren't as visible as they were on his pure white mask.    

    

"Ah Qi!"    

    

Black Serpent's heart welled with shock and fury when he was the severed head.    

    

The head belonged to Ah Qi, his most trusted subordinate. But someone actually beheaded him so ruthlessly.    

    

At the same time, Ye Liang and Elder Lu weren't surprised they were aghast. Their faces went blank from shock, and they felt tongue-tied at the same time.    

    

Why? It was because of a report about the stronghold's attacker they received before coming here. The report stated that the attacker wore a black robe and had a white mask on his face.    

    

In front of them stood the murderer whom the Ye family was looking for with all their might.
