Invincibility starts when I see the BOSS health bar.

Chapter 908 Special Reward
Countless eyes were focused on the head of the family, filled with silent questions.

Doesn't the head of the Zong family want to rush out in full force immediately to grind the masked man to ashes?

That heart-wrenching hatred is stronger than any other!

It’s just…some things involve too much and cannot be done!

The power represented by the masked man and the chess master hidden behind the scenes are definitely not something that a mere clan can contend with.

According to the few words passed down from "above", this may very well be... a vortex of contention among the eight clans and even among the princes!

No matter how prosperous and profound the clan is, in the face of the collision of such behemoths, it is just a small boat in the strong wind and waves. If it is rashly caught in it, it will be smashed to pieces in an instant!
Endure! Must endure! For the survival of the family, for the lives of thousands of disciples, he, the head of the clan, must take the lead in swallowing this humiliation!

"Yes... the head of the family!"

Finally, after a brief moment of dead silence, everyone, no matter what they felt in their hearts, could only respond in unison, their voices filled with oppressive heaviness.

The head of the Zong family chose to forbear, but the Zong mansion was attacked by a mysterious masked man and a powerful fire man, and half of the core area was almost destroyed. The news that Zong Shaoshi was tortured and killed and his body was hung spread like wildfire to every corner of the capital in an instant!
There was no need to deliberately spread the news. The towering, terrifying black trees and the blazing tornado that burned everything were the most eye-catching and shocking announcement! Countless pairs of eyes in the entire capital had looked up at the doomsday-like scene, and countless hearts were shocked by the terrifying power!

……

Yudi Mansion, the master's quiet room.

"Still making trouble?!"

Looking at the report presented by Hall Master Qian about the "masked man" causing chaos in various places in the city, Palace Master Ya Qingli suddenly jumped up from her chair.

Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, her hand covered with fine demonic scales once again uncontrollably grabbed at her scalp, her sharp nails digging deeply into her flesh!
Call it anxiety or some kind of morbid habit, Ya Qingli was so irritated at the moment...that she almost exploded!
"Yes, Lord Palace Master."

Hall Master Qian's voice was calm and even.

"The 'Masked Man' is very active now. His 'clones' have appeared everywhere, in the east, south, west, slums, etc., causing panic among the people."

Snapped! ! !
Ya Qingli slammed the heavy sandalwood table with her palm, and the table top instantly cracked into several fine lines!

"Shut up! You and I know it very well! Those are all smokescreens! Smokescreens! The one who really did it is the one from the Zong family! That's his true self!"

Her voice was sharp with anger.

Master Qian shrugged indifferently.

He has seen Ya Qingli lose her temper many times, as long as it doesn't affect him.

He knew clearly that he, the Lord of the Mansion, could not really command these powerful hall masters.

but……

"I will personally investigate the case of the masked man."

Ya Qingli took a deep breath and forced herself to suppress her anger, but a more dangerous light flashed in her eyes, "But now, I have another thing for you to do."

"What's the matter?" Hall Master Qian frowned slightly.

Before Ya Qingli had finished speaking, Hall Master Qian already understood.

After struggling in the quagmire of Yudifu for so many years, he still couldn't see through these people's thoughts, and all his efforts were in vain.

"Are you planning to use the lives of those two little guys to threaten the guy hiding in Ouyang Mansion and force him to leave the protection of Ouyang Mansion?"

There was obvious displeasure in Hall Master Qian's tone, and even a hint of anger of being offended.

"Master, we don't even have a single decent piece of evidence at hand! Just because he was born in Tianyuan Town, we conclude that he is a spy of the demons and an accomplice of the demon envoy. Isn't that... too hasty? How is this different from framing someone?!"

"We are both from Tianyuan Town, that's enough! Everything else is unimportant!"

Ya Qingli said it with absolute determination, her eyes flashing with an almost paranoid light.

"You go break his skin! We'll know for sure whether he's a human or a monster!"

"..."

Master Qian fell silent. Sometimes, he really felt that he had nothing to say to this crazy woman who was obsessed with something.

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked.

"Since the Lord of the Mansion is so 'concerned' about this matter, why don't you do it yourself? With your strength and means, wouldn't it be more efficient to handle it?"

"Of course I want to do it myself!"

Ya Qingli almost roared, the blue veins on her forehead bulged slightly with excitement, making those demonic scales look even more hideous.

"That guy is in Ouyang Mansion, and I have the resources to force him to show up. All the conditions are in place, so of course I hope to do it myself! Do you think I am willing to give you this opportunity?!"

"It was Shuntian Prefecture! They ordered me to do my utmost to handle the case of the masked man! I cannot spare time to do anything else until the case is completely resolved! This is a death order!"

Her words were filled with suppressed rage and unwillingness.

Before the masked man interfered, she had almost caught up with the guy and was about to reveal his true face as a demon.

Once the other party's identity as a demon is confirmed, the Ouyang family will inevitably be implicated!
Although it is impossible to overthrow the deeply rooted Ouyang Mansion, there are countless people in the court waiting to ask Master Ouyang for favors and owing favors to the Ouyang Mansion!

If they could take the opportunity to create a "trouble" for the Ouyang Mansion, and then have their Yudi Mansion "solve" the trouble, the favor transactions and interest transfers that could be carried out in the middle would be enough to make Yudi Mansion reap a fortune!

More importantly, if she could successfully find and eliminate the demon spies planted by the demon capital in the capital, it would definitely be a great achievement! It would be enough to give her, Ya Qingli... a chance to join the upper echelons of Shuntian Prefecture!
Opportunity! The opportunity of a lifetime!

If I could become a high-ranking official in Shuntian Prefecture, I would have greater power...

Ya Qingli recalled the rainy night of that year.

His childhood sweetheart died tragically in front of him, just to teach him a lesson, to teach him about the 'adult world'...

"Master Palace Master?" The calm voice of Hall Master Qian pulled Ya Qingli back from the memories filled with blood and hatred.

Ya Qingli suddenly came back to her senses, and the hatred in her eyes was instantly replaced by coldness. She snorted coldly, with an unquestionable determination: "It's settled! No need to say more! Just follow the order!"

A trace of strong displeasure and disgust flashed in the depths of Hall Master Qian's eyes.

But in the end, he lowered his head.

"Yes, Lord Palace Master."

After all, compared to the trouble that might be caused by openly defying the orders of the Palace Lord, dealing with two insignificant little characters is indeed just a "small matter".

It's not worth him getting hurt over this.

Master Qian received the order and left the quiet room.

He did not hesitate at all and directly selected several trusted subordinates. These people were all captain-level experts, including two close demon warriors with obscure auras.

Then he walked towards the gate of Yudi Mansion with a solemn and imposing manner.

At the gate, Linghu Xiang and Song Zhenrong were still standing guard.

In fact, the two of them were always full of confusion.

They had previously escaped from Yudi Mansion without permission and ran back on their own, but everything went smoothly, as if no one had noticed and no one was held accountable.

This abnormal calmness made them even more uneasy.

"Could it be... that we are overthinking? The Yu Difu doesn't care about us two little characters at all?" Song Zhenrong couldn't help but whisper to Linghu Xiang beside him.

Linghu Xiang frowned and was about to speak when she suddenly caught a glimpse of Hall Master Qian and his group walking towards her in the distance.

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition instantly enveloped her whole body.

"Don't panic, Master Qian may be leading a team out to carry out a mission..."

Linghu Xiang tried to remain calm and comfort herself and her companions, but before she could finish her words, her face turned pale in an instant!
When the men following Master Qian were still a dozen steps away from the gate, they suddenly dispersed like well-trained hounds, quickened their pace, and came towards the two of them with a clear goal!

A cold aura filled with real malice instantly locked onto them!

"Not good! Let's go!" Linghu Xiang reacted very quickly, shouted loudly, turned around and rushed out of the house without hesitation!
Song Zhenrong was a little slow, but he immediately realized the critical situation and ran after him!

The two of them have long been like grasshoppers tied to the same rope!

Unfortunately, their strength was not enough compared to the elite troops brought by Master Qian.

The speed of those scattered men suddenly burst out, closing the distance in an instant like ghosts.

In just a few breaths, several fierce gusts of wind had already hit him from behind!
Linghu Xiang only felt her wrist tighten, and a huge force came, and the whole person was forcibly pulled back!
Song Zhenrong was easily kicked in the knee by someone from the side, and he fell to the ground with a muffled groan!
The so-called fight was simply a one-sided crushing!
After a few encounters, the two men were firmly restrained, like lambs to be slaughtered.

"Let me go! What are you doing!"

"Master Qian! What does this mean?!"

The two struggled hard, but to no avail. They were carried like chickens by two burly captains and brought in front of Hall Master Qian, who stood with his hands behind his back and a cold expression.

Linghu Xiang suppressed the fear in her heart and forced out a dry smile: "Master Qian, what...what are you doing? The two of us have been guarding the gate conscientiously, and it seems that we have not violated the rules of the government, right?"

Master Qian didn't even raise his eyelids, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, his tone was so calm that it was chilling:

"You know it clearly. Cut off one finger each. Wrap it up and send it to the Ouyang Mansion."

These light words sounded like a bolt from the blue to Linghu Xiang and Song Zhenrong!

"Sir! Sir Qian! We can discuss this matter! We are wronged!" Song Zhenrong panicked and screamed.

"How can the underworld be so careless about human life! Can the hall master just do whatever he wants?!" Linghu Xiang also struggled and screamed, his forehead was instantly covered with fine cold sweat, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.

A warrior's hands are the foundation for his survival and fight!
If a finger is broken, the combat power will be permanently damaged!
Ordinary doctors are unable to reattach severed limbs.

Even if a highly skilled doctor could take over, it would be impossible to restore the body to its original state, and the strength would be greatly reduced!

This punishment almost destroyed their future in martial arts!

"Get started." Hall Master Qian's voice was calm, as if he was giving orders to deal with the two pieces of wood.

“No——!!” Linghu Xiang’s eyes were bloodshot and her breathing almost stopped!
"Wait a minute! Hall Master Qian! You can't...Ah!!!" Song Zhenrong's roar suddenly stopped and turned into a shrill scream!

The two expressionless captains beside him had already drawn the sharp knives at their waists!

One of them tightly grasped Linghu Xiang's wrist, while the other roughly pried open Song Zhenrong's clenched fist and pressed one of his fingers to the ground!
The knife flashed and disappeared!
With a decisive coldness!
Boom!
Boom!
Two bloody fingers fell and bounced twice on the cold ground, leaving a glaring scarlet mark.

“Ahhhhh——!!”

“My hand! My hand, ahh ...

The two men fell to their knees on the ground in an instant, their bodies twitching violently due to the severed pain, and blood spurted out from their severed fingers like a fountain!

Linghu Xiang tightly covered his right hand which was bleeding profusely, his face was as pale as paper and his teeth were almost broken.

He forced his howls back into the depths of his throat, with only the sound of gasping breaths coming out of it. His eyes, like poisoned daggers, were fixed on Hall Master Qian's face with deep hatred!
Song Zhenrong was in so much pain that tears were streaming down his face. He rolled over with his hands covering his chest, then raised his head, glared at Hall Master Qian with bloodshot eyes, and roared.

"Qian Jinxun! You abused your power! You took human lives lightly! You killed your colleagues! I will report this to the Lord of the Palace! I will report it to Shuntian Palace! I will convict you of abusing your power!!"

Faced with Song Zhenrong's naive and angry accusations, Master Qian didn't even bother to raise his eyelids.

However, it was Linghu Xiang's silent eyes filled with extreme hatred that made him feel a little moved.

If it were any other time, if someone dared to look at him like that, Hall Master Qian would have already ordered that person to be dragged away and hacked to death.

But now... the person is not dead yet, so he can still be used.

After all, living bait can catch bigger fish.

A dead person will not attract anyone to risk their lives to save him.

"Drag him away and lock him up in the water dungeon. No one is allowed to visit him without my order." Hall Master Qian waved his hand coldly.

"Yes!" The men took the order and roughly dragged away the two people who were still screaming and struggling, leaving only two glaring pools of blood and the two lonely fingers on the ground.

Master Qian watched his men carefully wrap the two severed fingers. There was no trace of emotion in his eyes, only deep indifference and a barely perceptible irritation.

"You really are good at making trouble for me... Ya Qingli!"

He whispered to himself, and his tone contained not only disgust for dealing with the dirty business before him, but also deep contempt and disgust for the paranoid and crazy female head of the mansion who treated him as a pawn.

……

In the darkness of the night, two figures sped away from the clan mansion area which was still shrouded in chaos and oppression.

Big win!

To be precise, it was a great victory!

Fang Yu suppressed the excitement in his heart and couldn't help but glance at the exciting kill prompts and huge experience points on the system panel with his mind, but he quickly calmed down.

Now is not the time to count the harvest. The most urgent task is to find that "good senior sister" Lulu, report the results of the task, and by the way... receive the "generous" reward.
