My Ares Son-in-Law

That extremely impactful scene, which completely overturned Jin Lang's worldview, was like a terrifying painting drawn with the most intense colors and the sharpest brushstrokes. It carried a suffocating sense of oppression and had long been engraved in his soul in a cruel way, like the deepest and most intense imprint.

Every detail in that scene was like a sharp blade, leaving indelible marks on every inch of his soul, becoming a nightmare he could never shake off!

Every night, when all is quiet, the nightmare would appear like a ghost, waking him up in a cold sweat and leaving him unable to fall back asleep for a long time.

And now, this nightmare has appeared before him once again, in such an unexpected and terrifying way!
He felt his breathing become rapid and heavy, and his heart was pounding wildly in his chest, as if it were about to burst out of his chest.

The scene before him was like a replay of a nightmare, but he was powerless to break free.

The Yang family's foundation and influence in the ancient city are as deep as an ancient tree with branches that have spread to every corner of the city, far surpassing that of the Jin family or even the renowned Ming family!
The Yang family has been entrenched in the ancient city for many years, controlling numerous industries and resources. Their influence extends from bustling commercial streets to secret underground transactions.

They have intricate connections with various forces and hold a pivotal position in both political and business circles.

This is because behind the Yang family stands a martial arts expert who commands respect from all the powerful families in the ancient city!
This martial arts master possesses unparalleled skills and unfathomable strength. His existence is like a solid fortress for the Yang family, allowing them to stand firm in the ancient city and preventing anyone from easily provoking them.

However, even the Yang family, which was protected by martial arts experts, had a thriving family, and seemed invincible, had to lower their proud heads before that man on that bloody night.

In fact, the shocking scene that occurred that day was not the source of Jin Lang's deepest fear.

Although the scene was terrifying, Jin Lang still harbored a sliver of hope. He felt that this might just be a momentary lapse in judgment by the Yang family, and that with their strength and background, they would get their revenge sooner or later.

His deepest, most chilling fear came after the storm had passed!
After the storm passed, Jin Lang was originally certain that Xiao Chen, who was so audacious as to trample on the dignity of the Yang family, would never see the sun rise the next day. He was certain that Xiao Chen would be torn to pieces and reduced to ashes by the thunderous wrath brewing in the Yang family.

He could almost see Xiao Chen being besieged by the Yang family's experts, screaming in agony, and finally collapsing in a pool of blood.

He felt that the Yang family would never let this person who dared to challenge their authority go easily, and would definitely retaliate with the most cruel means.

However, reality gave everyone a resounding slap in the face!

It was a seemingly ordinary yet destined-to-be extraordinary morning the following day. The sun had just shone on the streets of the ancient city when a shocking piece of news, enough to shake the entire elite circle of the ancient city, spread rapidly like a plague.

This news was like a bombshell, causing a huge uproar in the ancient city.

People were talking amongst themselves, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

The Yang family, who had been entrenched in the ancient city and whose power was deeply rooted, was completely wiped out overnight!

The Yang family compound was in complete disarray. The once magnificent buildings had been reduced to ruins. Family members were either dead or had fled. The once invincible Yang family had vanished overnight.

When Jin Lang heard the news, he felt like his world had collapsed. He couldn't believe it was true. The powerful Yang family was finished just like that, while Xiao Chen, whom they feared, was still safe and sound.

The Yang family, a powerful clan that dominated the ancient city for decades, was once incredibly prestigious and influential.

Their family's businesses were spread throughout every corner of the ancient city, from bustling commercial streets to secluded suburbs, the Yang family's influence was everywhere. When the family members went out, they were always surrounded by attendants, heads held high, and they acted arrogantly towards others, as if the ancient city belonged to them.

However, fate, like a cruel manipulator, dealt them a fatal blow.

This enormous family collapsed without even a hint of struggle!
It's like a seemingly impregnable castle whose foundation has been quietly hollowed out, and then in a moment, it collapses with a roar, turning into ruins.

The mansion was said to be in complete disarray, a truly appalling sight.

The once ornate and magnificent pavilions and towers are now just ruins, on the verge of collapse.

The exquisite doors and windows were smashed to pieces, and splinters of wood were scattered all over the ground, as if they were fragments of the Yang family's former glory.

The flowers, plants, and trees in the courtyard were trampled on and left to fall over, turning what was once a vibrant scene into a desolate wasteland.

The once spacious and tidy courtyard is now filled with clutter and garbage, emitting a pungent stench of decay.

The entire mansion looked as if it had been mercilessly crushed by an invisible giant hand, so tragic that it was unbearable to look at, as if a horrific massacre had taken place here.

To this day, the culprit who committed this tragedy remains at large, like a ghost hidden in the darkness, impossible to fathom.

All leads seemed to have vanished without a trace!

The police deployed a large number of personnel and resources to investigate, questioned countless people, and searched every possible corner, but still found no valuable clues.

Those clues that seemed to point to the murderer were inexplicably cut off during the investigation, as if an invisible giant hand had erased all the evidence with absolute power!

This makes the case even more perplexing, as if it were an endless maze with no way out.

This unsolved murder case, like the heaviest haze, hangs heavily over the ancient city, casting an inescapable shadow of death over its upper class.

Those who used to live a life of luxury and high status are now filled with anxiety, fearing that they might become the next victim.

They increased security measures when they went out, always accompanied by a group of bodyguards, their eyes filled with vigilance and fear.

Social activities have become deserted, and everyone tries to avoid appearing in public, for fear of getting into unnecessary trouble.

Outsiders may still be speculating and discussing, trying to find the mastermind behind it all.

Some speculated that it was the work of the Yang family's business rivals, who were willing to resort to such ruthless tactics to seize market share and profits; others guessed that a traitor had emerged within the Yang family, colluding with external forces to push the Yang family into an abyss of no return...
