Starting with SSS-rank talent, I contracted the Forbidden Ferocity.

The Zhao family's western warehouse has already caught fire.

Flames soared into the sky.

More than a dozen Zhao family warriors stood guard outside the warehouse, preventing anyone from approaching.

Zhao Chenghe stood in the courtyard, his face grim.

He is the third master of the Zhao family.

He was also the person secretly responsible for the dirty work for the Zhao family.

Zhao Mingxuan's ambush in the secret realm was his arrangement.

Zhao Sen sent men to intercept and kill him, and he gave his approval.

Tonight's attack on the Blood-Clad Tower is his last gamble.

As long as Shen Ye dies.

As long as the account books are burned clean.

The Zhao family still has a chance to turn things around.

But when he saw Lu Qingshan, Zhou Xuan, and Shen Ye appear at the courtyard gate at the same time, his heart sank completely.

"Inspector Lu"

Zhao Chenghe forced himself to remain calm.

"The Zhao family's house is on fire and they're trying to put it out themselves. What's the meaning of you people breaking in so late at night?"

Lu Qingshan smiled.

"Self-rescue?"

He raised his hand and waved.

A sudden gust of wind arose.

The flames were forcibly suppressed.

"Then I'll help you save her."

Zhao Chenghe's expression changed drastically.

"Stop them!"

The Zhao family warriors rushed out simultaneously.

Zhou Xuan's giant silver wolf roared and charged directly into the crowd.

Lu Qingshan did not move.

His gaze fell on Zhao Chenghe.

"If you dare to run, I'll break your legs first."

Zhao Chenghe's face turned ashen.

Shen Ye ignored the main battlefield.

He led Ye Yu and Zhu Jiu directly around to the rear of Xiku.

Several Zhao family martial artists tried to stop them.

"kill."

Candle Nine disappeared into the shadows.

The next moment, bone spikes pierced the ground, blocking any escape route.

Night feathers flew by, and the Netherfire ignited their spiritual seas.

Shen Ye walked through the fire and came to an iron gate.

The door was already glowing red from the heat.

He raised his hand and pressed it down.

Ghostfire Battle Body activated.

One punch.

boom!

The iron gate is dented.

The second punch.

The door lock broke.

With the third punch, the entire door collapsed with a crash.

The entrance to the basement came into view.

There were three people inside moving boxes.

The leader was a peak second-tier martial artist.

He was startled when he saw Shen Ye, then grinned maliciously.

"You dare to come down alone?"

Shen Ye glanced at the box behind him.

The box was engraved with the Zhao family's mark.

It contains ledgers, transaction receipts, and a large amount of black market goods.

Leave the things behind.

The second-tier martial artist sneered:

"Spare my life!"

He drew his sword and charged.

His blood and qi erupted, and the sword light flashed continuously.

Shen Ye did not back down.

Zhu Jiu emerged from the shadows and entangled the opponent's sword arm.

The man reacted extremely quickly, his qi and blood shaking the snake's body apart.

But Ye Yu's soul-burning attack had already begun.

His movements faltered.

Shen Ye closed in and plunged a short knife into his ribs.

The other party roared and slammed his left fist toward Shen Ye's head.

Shen Ye's eyes were icy cold, and he neither flinched nor avoided the gaze.

The Ghostfire Battle Body withstood the punch.

boom!

Shen Ye felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and swayed slightly.

But his short sword also slashed upwards in response.

The blade sliced ​​open the other person's heart.

The ghost fire poured in.

The second-tier peak martial artist staggered backward, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"What...what kind of monster are you...?"

Shen Ye drew his sword.

"The one who killed you."

The martial artist fell to the ground.

The remaining two were so frightened that they knelt down.

"Don't kill us!"

"We're just moving things!"

Shen Ye looked at them.

Where are the Zhao family's account books?

The two men eagerly pointed to the innermost iron box.

Shen Ye opened the iron box.

It contains more than just account books.

There was also a black jade slip.

A system notification appears.

[A flawed demonic beast breeding method has been detected.]

[Content: Using a contaminated core to catalyze the mutation of spirit beasts.]

[Source: Blood-Clad Pavilion]

Shen Ye's eyes turned cold.

The Zhao family did more than just kill him.

They also colluded with the Blood-Clad Tower to research and contaminate ferocious beasts.

This is no longer an ordinary family feud.

This is a rebel city.

He put away the jade slip, picked up the iron box, and turned to leave the basement.

The fighting outside has ended.

Zhao Chenghe knelt on the ground, one of his arms bitten off by Zhou Xuan's silver wolf.

The Zhao family warriors were either killed or captured.

Lu Qingshan stood in the courtyard, his smile gone.

Shen Ye put the iron box down.

"Account books".

"And this too."

Lu Qingshan took the black jade slip, scanned it with his spiritual power, and his eyes instantly turned cold.

"The Evil Beast Cultivation Method"

Zhou Xuan's expression also changed.

"Has the Zhao family gone mad?"

Zhao Chenghe struggled to lift his head, his voice hoarse:

"That didn't belong to the Zhao family...someone else put it there..."

Shen Ye walked up to him.

"Did you arrange for Zhao Mingxuan to kill me?"

Zhao Chenghe shut up.

Shen Ye raised his hand, and the Netherfire ignited.

Zhao Chenghe's pupils contracted.

"yes!"

"It was my arrangement!"

"But I only want to get rid of you; the demon beast breeding method wasn't my idea!"

Lu Qingshan said coldly, "Whose idea was this?"

Zhao Chenghe was trembling all over.

"Blood-Clad Tower".

"They said there's an ancient altar in the Black Stone Secret Realm. If we help them transport a few batches of materials into the city, they'll give the Zhao family an S-grade spirit beast egg."

S-rank spirit beast egg.

For this reason, the Zhao family dared to drag the entire city of Jiangcheng into the risk of pollution.

Lu Qingshan raised his hand and shattered Zhao Chenghe's Qi Sea with a single palm strike.

Zhao Chenghe screamed and fell to the ground.

"Take away."

Before dawn, the Zhao family mansion was completely sealed off.

Zhao Qingshan, the head of the Zhao family, attempted to resist, but was suppressed on the spot by Lu Qingshan.

All of the Zhao family's properties were seized.

All of his close associates were taken away for investigation.

The Zhao family of Jiangcheng was wiped out overnight.

early morning.

Shen Ye stood outside the Zhao family mansion.

The rising sun shone on the mess on the ground.

A system notification sounded.

[Hidden quest complete: The Zhao family's purge.]

[Reward: 1500 Evolution Points.]

[Reward: Beast Taming Space expanded.]

[Reward: 1 random Ancient Beast Material Box]

Shen Ye watched calmly as the enforcement team removed the Zhao family's plaque.

Zhou Xuan walked to his side.

"The Zhao family has fallen."

Shen Ye said, "The Blood-Clad Tower is still here."

Zhou Xuan remained silent.

Lu Qingshan walked out of the courtyard, holding the Prodigy Preparation Order in his hand.

"So you should go to the provincial capital."

"Jiangcheng is too small."

"This place can't contain you, nor can it shield you from the storms ahead."

Shen Ye accepted the token.

Night Feather landed on his shoulder.

The candlestick was coiled in the shadow at his feet.

He looked toward the provincial capital, his eyes calm.

"Then let's go."

"We'll settle the score with the Blood-Clad Tower on the way."
