God-Slaying Blade

Of course, Qin Jue had no idea whether Ling Tianxiao had any connection with the Black Shark Army.

He didn't know whether the people who attacked the Qin family that night were from the Black Shark Army.

Because everything was in a state of confusion, he wanted to create some ripples in this stagnant pool.

As long as there is even the slightest disturbance, he will have a chance to find more clues!

If he were still a Grandmaster, he would still have to be wary of many people and things, but now that he and Da Bai are both at the Spirit Realm, they have gained a certain amount of confidence.

As long as it doesn't directly affect the interests of the royal family, the Wu Dynasty will most likely not get involved in these matters.

Just like the Qin family back then, they were wiped out and that was that; nobody cared at all...

Inside the main hall of the city lord's mansion.

Looking at the shards of porcelain scattered on the ground, Sima Xiang raised an eyebrow, while Ling Heng's face darkened: "Father, what did Qin Jue say to you that made you so angry?"

"That arrogant brat..." Ling Tianxiao was about to say it, but Qin Jue's cold words "You will die" appeared in his mind, and he was so frightened that he quickly stopped talking.

"It's nothing, it's just that he's getting more and more arrogant these days, and he doesn't take my City Lord's Mansion seriously at all," Ling Tianxiao said through gritted teeth.

Ling Heng snorted, "He is indeed incredibly arrogant, and lately he's become even more disdainful of everyone. Originally, I was thinking of avoiding conflict with him as much as possible, but now, given his attitude towards our City Lord's Mansion, Father, perhaps we should do something!"

Sima Xiang's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Young City Lord, Qin Jue is incredibly powerful. We mustn't act impulsively. What if our plan fails and we anger him..."

"Hmph, what, Mr. Sima, do you think that if you anger him, he would dare to attack my City Lord's Mansion like he stormed into the Xie Mansion and the Luo Family Mansion? Although my Ling family's strength may not be able to stop him, this is the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord's Mansion of the Wu Dynasty! If he were to storm in, that would be treason and rebellion! Qin Jue is the only living member of the Qin family right now, I don't believe he would do something so stupid!" Ling Heng sneered.

Qin Jue has survived to this day only to avenge the Qin family and revive it.

Therefore, he believed that Qin Jueshi City Lord's Mansion would only dare to be arrogant in words, but would not dare to take action at all!

Because once someone is labeled as a rebel or traitor, not to mention a Grandmaster with super combat power, even a Spirit Realm expert will face certain death!

Sima Xiang smiled wryly and said, "I wouldn't dare do it openly, but what about secretly?"

Ling Heng's eyes widened in surprise. Yes, even if Qin Jue didn't dare to openly storm the City Lord's Mansion, it was hard to say what would happen if he retaliated in secret...

"Therefore, we must come up with a foolproof plan! So that he has no chance to retaliate!" Ling Heng clenched his right fist tightly.

Ling Tianxiao shook his head and said, "No. He's just a bit arrogant; there's no need to take this risk. Mr. Sima, have someone clean up this place. This matter must not be spread; just pretend nothing happened."

"Yes," Sima Xiang replied.

"Heng'er, now that the Cloud Mountain Secret Realm is over, you should go into seclusion for a while. Some things, some people, are better left unseen to avoid." Ling Tianxiao patted Ling Heng's shoulder, his voice cold and deep. "Don't be so clever. Focusing on your cultivation is what you should be doing, understand?"

Ling Heng gritted his teeth: "Yes, I understand!"

Ling Tianxiao then walked out, satisfied.

After leaving the hall, his gaze turned gloomy again.

"Qin Jue, do you think you can act recklessly just because you've entered the Spirit Realm? The foundation of my Ling family is far deeper than you imagine! Moreover, you may have overlooked one thing: there are far too many people in this Fengzhou who want you dead!"

……

Qin Mansion.

After Qin Jue returned to his residence, he called Hong Tiehu to his side.

"From now on, keep a close eye on the City Lord's Mansion! If anyone leaves the city, send someone to follow them secretly and see where they go and who they meet!" Qin Jue said coldly.

"Yes!" Hong Tiehu replied without the slightest hesitation.

Even if the target was the City Lord's Mansion, he wouldn't hesitate for a moment if it was Qin Jue's order.

"Go. If you are accidentally exposed and a fight breaks out, don't hold back," Qin Jue said indifferently.

"good!"

Hong Tiehu responded and turned to leave.

No sooner had he left than Li Dongming came to visit, bringing with him several stunningly beautiful young women…

Qin Jue's face darkened: "Li Dongming, what are you doing bringing them here?"

Li Dongming quickly chuckled and said, "When I came to your residence before, I noticed that there weren't many maids. I thought these few were all very capable and clever, so I thought I'd have them serve Young Master Qin."

Qin Jue said coldly, "You don't need to bother with this in the future. If the manor needs anyone, Han Xi will arrange it. If you do this again, I will think you are trying to plant a spy by my side. It wouldn't be good if misunderstandings arose."

Li Dongming's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "Young Master, I am only acting out of loyalty! Please don't misunderstand. I'll take them all with me when I leave!"

The woman behind Li Dongming also looked flustered.

They had been trained by Li Dongming's men for many days. If they were taken back, Li Dongming would be so frightened by Qin Shao that he would vent all his anger on them.

Qin Jue knew that these women would not fare well if they were taken back; at the very least, they would definitely be subjected to a brutal beating by that lecherous Li Dongming.

He snorted, "Since they're here, let them stay. But I hope you won't do this kind of thing again. All I want is loyalty to get things done; these crooked thoughts only disgust me."

Li Dongming quickly replied, "Yes, I understand! I will definitely serve you properly from now on!"

Qin Jue beckoned Xiao Qing over and said, "Take them to the backyard first, and then let Xi'er make further arrangements."

"Yes."

"Come with me."

Xiaoqing led the six women away.

Li Dongming smiled sheepishly and clasped his hands in a gesture of flattery, saying, "Young Master returned yesterday. I thought you must need a good rest, so I came today to congratulate you on your safe return."

Qin Jue felt somewhat helpless.

This Li Dongming is nothing but a sycophant; he has to come and offer his congratulations for such a trivial matter...

But unfortunately, Qin Jue couldn't reprimand him.

After all, they are very worldly-wise and know how to conduct themselves.

"Looks like we need to find something for him to do, otherwise this old rascal is using his mind on crooked things."

Qin Jue thought to himself, then asked, "Do you know anyone in Leizhou?"

Li Dongming's expression brightened: "My hometown is Leizhou! I know a lot of people there."

Qin Jue was taken aback. Was this a lucky accident?

His eyes flickered slightly, and he whispered, "Do you know anyone in the Black Shark army?"

Li Dongming looked startled and said nervously, "Young Master, the Black Shark Army are all ruthless. People in Leizhou generally keep their distance from them and try to avoid any contact. May I ask what you're inquiring about regarding the Black Shark Army?"

Qin Jue narrowed his eyes, and instead of answering, asked, "Why do you call the Black Shark Army 'gods of destruction'? Do they often bully people in Leizhou?"
