Inside Li Xin's room in the luxury guest room area.

Li Xin was holding a cup of premium cloud and mist tea, leaning back on the soft sofa, his brows furrowed.

Although some time has passed, the image of Wei Xiaoran being dragged away by the wrist by that peasant named Liu Bo still lingers in his heart like a thorn, making him restless and unsettled.

"Bang!"

The suite door was suddenly kicked open from the outside.

Li Xin's hand trembled, and the scalding hot tea spilled onto the back of his hand.

He was furious and was about to curse when he saw a bloodied and mangled figure tumble and crawl in.

"Young Master Li!"

"This is terrible!"

As soon as Yang Shuo entered the room, he immediately knelt down on the ground with a thud.

She clung tightly to Li Xin's boots with both hands, bursting into tears and sobbing uncontrollably.

"What's going on?!"

Li Xin was startled by Yang Shuo's miserable appearance and shrank back in disgust.

"Didn't you lead men to Haixin Rock to capture that kid named Liu Bo?"

"Young Master Li! Waaaaah..."

Yang Shuo looked up, his face streaked with tears mixed with blood and mud, looking utterly miserable.

He cried and sobbed as he made his accusations.

"I led the brothers you assigned to me, and after many hardships and near-death experiences, we finally found Liu Bo in the deep sea area."

"We were originally thinking that even if it cost us our lives, we'd cut off his head and let you kick it around like a football!"

"But...who would have thought that Liu Bo would find an accomplice from somewhere!"

Yang Shuo stared wide-eyed, feigning extreme terror.

"That helper is a whale from the Heavenly Sea Realm!"

"What?!"

"The Heavenly Sea Realm?!"

A look of surprise flashed in Li Xin's eyes, then his brows furrowed into a tight knot.

No wonder that peasant dared to embarrass him in public, no wonder he dared to make a move on Wei Xiaoran.

So it turns out there's a foreign race from the Heavenly Sea Realm backing them up; they've got some background.

Seeing the change in Li Xin's expression, Yang Shuo immediately seized the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

He pounded his chest hard, aggravating his wound and making him wince in pain, but his tone became increasingly righteous and awe-inspiring.

"Young Master Li! Facing the Heavenly Sea Realm, the brothers are all afraid. But I, Yang Shuo, have not backed down!"

"I thought, even if I die, I can't let our Young Master Li's name be tarnished!"

"The task assigned by Young Master Li, let alone someone at the Heavenly Sea Realm, even a Dao Integration Realm expert, I, Yang Shuo, will draw my sword and go!"

"All the brothers are dead! They were all swallowed whole by that whale!"

Yang Shuo wiped away his tears, sobbing uncontrollably.

"It's only because I'm quick-witted that I managed to escape using the teleportation scroll, even after taking a few heavy hits. Otherwise, I would never have been able to come back and serve Young Master Li again!"

Hearing Yang Shuo's words of loyalty, Li Xin's anger subsided slightly.

Looking at Yang Shuo's body covered in wounds, he realized they didn't seem fake.

"At least you have some backbone."

Li Xin snorted coldly and looked down at Yang Shuo.

"But so what if he has the backing of the Heavenly Sea Realm?"

Li Xin stood with his hands behind his back, a cold glint in his eyes.

"When you ran into him, you didn't mention me? You didn't mention the Li family of Haichuan Prefecture?!"

coming!

Yang Shuo was overjoyed. His eyes darted around quickly, but he put on a hesitant and indignant expression.

"I brought it up! How could I not!"

Yang Shuo suddenly raised his head and slammed his fist on the ground.

"I pointed my finger at his nose and told him I was working for Young Master Li of Haichuan Prefecture! I told him to surrender immediately and kowtow to you to admit his mistake!"

"But...but it would have been better if I hadn't mentioned it. Now that I've brought up your name, guess what?"

Li Xin's eyebrows instantly furrowed, and his face turned so gloomy it seemed as if water could drip from it.

"What? He dares to disregard the Li family?"

Yang Shuo shrank his neck and swallowed.

"He...he said he hit members of the Li family!"

"And then, and then... and then I dare not say the rest!"

Yang Shuo deliberately cut off the conversation, slammed his head heavily on the ground, and pretended to be trembling with fear.

"explain!"

Li Xin kicked the coffee table, sending the heavy rosewood table flying half a meter to the side.

He pointed at Yang Shuo, his eyes blazing with fury.

"I'm telling you to tell me exactly what he said! What the hell did he spout?!"

"Yes, yes..."

Yang Shuo raised his head, put on a desperate expression, and said through gritted teeth.

"He said he'd rather you just stay in this resort and be a coward. But if you dare step out of the resort, he... he'll beat your brains out!"

As Yang Shuo spoke, he carefully observed Li Xin's expression.

"Young Master Li, he said that right here on our Haichuan Prefecture territory!"

"I, Yang Shuo, wanted to fight him to the death right then and there!"

"But then I thought, you're unaware of this. I'm only keeping this humiliation alive to come back and tell you!"

"otherwise……"

"That's enough!"

Li Xin roared, interrupting Yang Shuo.

The air in the private room seemed to be sucked out in an instant, and a suppressed anger surged wildly in Li Xin's chest.

From childhood to adulthood, wherever Li Xin went, he was always surrounded by a large entourage.

As the grandson of the Lord of Haichuan Prefecture, even the other prefecture lords would have to smile and praise him when they saw him.

No one has ever dared to look down on him like this!

Should we punch the dog's brain out?

"Great! Well done, Liu Bo!"

Li Xin laughed in anger, his chest heaving violently.

He originally thought the other party was just a country bumpkin who was arrogant and ignorant because of his gratitude.

It now seems that the other party is just relying on the fact that he is a beast in the Heavenly Sea Realm, and really thinks he can step on Li Xin's head!

"Just because you have a beast from the Heavenly Sea Realm as your backer, you think I can't touch him?"

Li Xin sneered repeatedly.

"In this battlefield of the heavens, in this Haichuan Prefecture, if I want to kill someone, even the King of Hell cannot save them!"

With a flick of his wrist, he retrieved a black token from his storage artifact—neither gold nor jade, and engraved with ferocious sea beast patterns.

Li Xin suddenly turned around and slammed the token hard in front of Yang Shuo.

"Take my token!"

Li Xin's voice was filled with a strong sense of murderous intent.

"Go and mobilize the Underworld Guards!"

"No matter what kind of Heavenly Sea Realm experts or other helpers he has with him, tear them all to pieces, man and fish alike! I want to see his head displayed before me!"

Yang Shuo looked at the black token that had fallen in front of him.

The token emitted a faint array fluctuation, making it the highest-level command token that only the direct descendants of Haichuan Prefecture could possess!

Become!

Yang Shuo's heart was pounding wildly in his chest, and his hands were trembling with excitement.

He suddenly stretched out his hands, gripped the token tightly, and then slammed his head heavily on the carpet with a thud.

"We guarantee to complete the mission! We will not let Young Master Li down!"

Yang Shuo lowered his head and loudly accepted the order.
