Urban Supreme Wild Son-in-Law War God

"That will backfire!"

Liu Tianba quickly grabbed his arm, speaking in a deep, persuasive tone.

Liu Hechong's expression changed a few times, then he took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said no more. Instead, he walked over to Liu Muran's corpse and began to tremble uncontrollably as he held it.

Liu Muran's mother and sister followed behind Liu Hechong. The group knelt down beside Liu Muran's corpse and burst into loud sobs.

"But this matter absolutely cannot be left alone so easily. Our four great families have been entrenched in Qingyan City for so many years, and no one has dared to challenge our authority so blatantly."

"This time, I will definitely find out who the mastermind behind this is!" Liu Tianba gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with a fierce determination.

"However, with the envoy now at the Wang family, this matter has become very tricky. It's not going to be easy to find the perpetrator."

"Once the envoy uncovers our motives, the consequences will be unthinkable!"

"Nevertheless, someone assassinated a member of our four great families; we absolutely cannot let them go. Someone come, seal the city and cooperate with the city defense forces to capture this group of criminals. No matter the cost, we must root them out!"

Liu Tianba's face darkened to its limit, he snorted coldly as he spoke.

His voice carried a thick intent to kill, a kind of obsession born from hatred, wishing he could tear the murderers of Liu Muran into pieces right there and then!

Just then, an elder-looking old man stepped forward, his face filled with immense anxiety: "Family Head, could it be that Maple Leaf Pavilion has been exposed?"

As soon as these words were uttered, the faces of everyone in the Liu family greatly changed. If the secret of Maple Leaf Pavilion was exposed, then all four great families might plunge into severe ordeal.

"Maple Leaf Pavilion?" Liu Tianba's brow furrowed, his expression turning considerably grimmer.

"It should not be. The secret of Maple Leaf Pavilion is known only to those within the four great families, and I have also carefully inquired our clan members; they have not disclosed any information, unless..."

"Unless what?" everyone asked in unison.

Liu Tianba shook his head, sighed deeply, and did not continue, "Let's first see if we can root out those individuals!"

Meanwhile, on the other side, Gu Li heard the occasional noise coming from outside and had her servants come over: "What exactly is happening outside, why is it so noisy?"

The servant replied respectfully, "Replying to the envoy, Liu Muran of the Liu family was assassinated in the pavilion, and now the whole of the four great families is in turmoil!"

"Assassinated?!"

After hearing the servant's words, Gu Li was momentarily stunned: "Who did it?"

"This..."

The servant hesitated, then said, "As for who it is, your subordinate is not clear!"

"However, according to the news from the four great families, it seems that three people acted together, because they discovered the attributes of ice, fire, and wind at the scene, which are completely different!"

Hearing this, a spark of understanding flashed in Gu Li's beautiful eyes, and a mysterious smile appeared on her face.

The people possessing these three attributes, she probably had already guessed who they were.

"Alright, you may leave now," Gu Li instructed lightly.

After that servant had left the courtyard, a faint and almost imperceptible smile appeared on Gu Li's face as she muttered to herself, "Heh, I didn't expect you to have gained another attribute after a few days."

"If you weren't the legendary dragon body, how could you have easily acquired three attributes?"

"The stronger your power, the greater help you are to me; I must find every way to bring you under my wing!"

Thinking this, a peculiar light flashed in Gu Li's eyes, then she looked into the distance, her expression becoming somewhat distracted.

"Right, I wonder where you are now?"

Gu Li murmured in her heart. In the vast Qingyan City, seeking one person was as difficult as ascending to heaven, not to mention finding a master whose cultivation had reached the realm of a Saint.

"I must find you as soon as possible, after all, the Gu family's trial is about to begin..."

Meanwhile, Ye Ling was naturally unaware of Gu Li's and the four major families' movements. At this moment, he was driving away from the city center with the sisters Xia Qing and Xia Xue.

"You're incredibly powerful, managing to crush that genius from the Liu family instantly with an overwhelming force. I really admire you!"

Sitting inside the car, Xia Xue looked at Ye Ling with a face full of emotion.

Ye Ling smiled faintly and said, "It was just my luck, actually. Liu Muran's strength is quite ordinary; if he had met someone else, he would have probably died on the spot. Fortunately, he encountered me!"

Both Xia Qing and Xia Xue's faces surged with envy. That was Liu Muran, after all, the greatest genius of the four major families in a century.

Even if the two sisters joined forces, they might not be his match, yet Ye Ling had easily slain him, leaving the sisters utterly shocked and growing a desire to look up to Ye Ling.

"By the way, Number One, when do you plan to turn in your mission?" Xia Xue asked.

Ye Ling shook his head, "There's no hurry for now. With so many from the four major families dead, Qingyan City will definitely be chaotic for a while. I'll turn in the mission once everything calms down, as I have plenty of time!"

"Alright, then how about we exchange contact information? That way, we can go turn in the mission together later!" Xia Xue said.

Ye Ling smiled and replied, "Alright, I'll give you my contact information right now!"

"Okay!" Xia Xue quickly took out a pen and paper, wrote down a communication number, and handed it to Ye Ling, then the two women exchanged numbers.

Ye Ling casually found a place to get off the car, circled the area several times to ensure no one was following him, and then returned home.

Once he was home, Zhe Xiaoyu, Zhan Mengqi, and others immediately crowded around him: "Little Ye, have you completed your mission?"

Ye Ling smiled and nodded, "Yes, I've successfully dealt with Liu Muran, and I assume you've completed your tasks as well?"

Upon hearing this, Zhe Xiaoyu excitedly swung her fist: "Hehe, indeed, let me tell you, Ye Jiu and I took care of Bai Kuashan and even successfully snatched his Storage Ring!"

"Oh?"

Ye Ling blinked slightly, then laughed, "You two are really impressive. You completed it so easily!"

He then turned to look at Zhan Mengqi and Gao Quan: "How about the two of you? Did you complete your missions smoothly?"

Hearing Ye Ling's words, Zhan Mengqi cheerfully moved closer and said, "Our tasks weren't as easy as Zhe Xiaoyu's, but fortunately, we completed them without serious danger!"
