"Ah..."
After hearing Situ Qingfeng’s words, Zeng Xiaoi’s heart instantly filled with imnse disappointnt. In addition to feeling grateful towards this mysterious expert, she had also been very eager to et the master sleuth and learn how he had cracked the case so swiftly.
But she knew Situ Qingfeng’s personality well: if he said it was not possible, then it certainly was not. Had there been even the slightest hope, he would not have rejected her outright. Therefore, she could only carry her full heart of disappointnt and say sowhat dejectedly, "Oh, okay, I understand."
"I’m sorry."
Sensing the disappointnt in Zeng Xiaoi’s words, Situ Qingfeng could even imagine the look of utter disappointnt on her face at that mont and could only apologize with a hint of remorse.
"It’s okay, since Senior Brother Situ has made a promise to that expert, there’s nothing that can be done. Perhaps it’s just that my destiny with him isn’t deep enough," said Zeng Xiaoi, showing a forced smile on her face.
After hanging up the phone, her mind involuntarily began to ponder: who exactly had Senior Brother Situ invited to help? Was it soone from the Situ family? Could it be that legendary figure from the Situ family who had taken action?
From the information reported from M City, the two n who were killed had both died from a single palm strike, with inner strength penetrating deep into their bodies and destroying their internal organs. Based on her prolonged interactions with them, Xiaoi concluded that each of their strongholds was defended by at least one or two individuals at or above the Bone Tempering Period, and so even had two high-tier experts like the ones Senior Brother Situ encountered last ti. So their strength must have been considerable. To be able to effortlessly dispatch two high-tier experts like that, the person must unquestionably be extraordinary.

Hopefully, they haven’t let slip any wind of this!
The fastest route from M City to H City is undoubtedly the MH Highway. Under the cover of night, the MH Highway was not very busy, especially with small cars, of which there were even fewer. Apart from the occasional thrill-seekers racing on the road, there were so long-distance transport trucks that were forbidden to travel during the day.
Xiao Yi was driving his red Maserati along this comparatively quiet stretch of highway, silently recalling the information he had extracted from those two n earlier and thinking to himself.
This ti, Xiao Yi wasn’t as ostentatious as before; he was very low-profile and law-abiding, maintaining the speed limit on this section of the expressway. Even when so reckless racers tried to challenge or provoke him, he did not respond and simply ignored them.
Although there had been no highway patrols or traffic officers to stop his car since the call he made after the last incident, he had beco sowhat vigilant in his heart.
Being too conspicuous was, after all, not his style, and, admittedly, not a good thing. If the enemy were careful enough, any trace found on his car could lead them to be prepared in advance, and then he would truly be in a predicant.
What he wanted to do now was not just to destroy one stronghold; he intended to uproot them completely!
That’s why he had instructed Situ Qingfeng to repeatedly emphasize the need for secrecy, insisting they must not disclose anything. He wanted to eliminate all of their strongholds one by one before the enemy noticed any activity.
Unfortunately, the two guys didn’t know much; they were only aware of a few hideouts.
Recalling the information from the two, a sense of regret flashed in Xiao Yi’s eyes. He had thought that individuals at their level would know everything, and he had hoped to learn the location of their headquarters from them and then completely take them down.
For a gang so devoid of conscience and overflowing with sin, he would certainly not show rcy.
Regrettably, aside from learning about a person nad Master Fei and two other hideouts, the n were clueless about everything else.
He wasn’t worried they were holding back; under his thods, even if they were the toughest guys with bodies of brass and iron skin, he believed they couldn’t withstand the pressure.
This gang was proving to be increasingly interesting, maintaining such tight control with a thoroughly ticulous and strict system.
A fervent look appeared in Xiao Yi’s eyes.
If soone familiar with him were present, they would realize that such an expression from Xiao Yi ant he had developed a significant interest in the matter, or to be more direct, it had ignited his fighting spirit.
Still, it was not a total loss. At least, Master Fei was a lead, and surely, he would know more, right?
A cold smirk ford on Xiao Yi’s lips as he pressed on the accelerator slightly more eagerly.

"Who are you?"
In a secluded villa in H City, a gaunt old man stared coldly at the young man who had suddenly appeared before him and demanded in a frosty tone.
"Here to clean up your ss."
A faint smile surfaced at the corner of Xiao Yi’s mouth. The mont he sensed the presence of the old man before him, he knew that his frantic efforts tonight were not in vain. Situ Qingfeng’s side had done a good job keeping the secret, as they were still unaware and had not fled.
At the sa ti, an amused expression couldn’t help but appear in his eyes. The strength of this old man was actually a bit more profound than those two fellows he had encountered in M City before.
This made him feel sowhat surprised.
Although high-tier Bone Tempering experts, in his eyes at this mont, were no longer worth ntioning and were as insignificant as ants, he was well aware that they were not truly ants but should be considered elites.
In the eyes of ordinary people, they were incredibly powerful beings. Even in many noble families, they were very important figures.
For an average family, having one or two such persons was already extraordinary. Take the Four Great Families of G City; even the first-ranked, most unfathomable Zhao Family, in his view, had only two or three people.
Yet, what kind of shitty organization was this before him, that it could have so many experts? Up to now, he had already encountered four, and with this old man, it made five. He also sensed another person hurrying over to this place, making it six in total.
If we assu there are two in each den, then... the number would be quite formidable...
What kind of powerful organization could mass-produce so many Bone Tempering individuals? And with many of them being high-tier, even pinnacle masters?
An imnse curiosity spontaneously erged in Xiao Yi’s mind.
"Seeking death!"
A cold glint shot out from the old man’s eyes. A fierce killing intent oozed from his being and spread outwards!
"You are not my match, better wait for your companion to co out together."
Xiao Yi said dispassionately, his eyes revealing a hint of disdain.
While speaking, he casually glanced in the direction of the villa ahead.
"Zhang, what’s the situation?"
Just as Xiao Yi’s gaze turned, from within the previously dark villa, a deep voice erged, and a dark figure dashed toward this side like a bolt of lightning.
"An ignorant kid has shown up!"
The old man’s beard and hair stood on end as he suppressed the rage in his heart, glaring coldly at Xiao Yi with eyes as if looking at a corpse.
In that mont, he had already deed Xiao Yi as good as dead. The anger in his heart had been fully ignited by Xiao Yi, and he was absolutely not going to let him go.
This brat, just for intruding, was already deserving of death, yet he dared to challenge his dignity, dared to speak to him in that tone, dared to look at him with such eyes—it was simply outrageous and ignorant!
"Hmm?"
The dark figure finally got a clear view of the young man standing before him. His brows furrowed slightly, his face revealing a look of confusion, and he said sternly, "Kid, who are you? This is not a place you can barge into; scram now!"
"Indeed, another high-tier Bone Tempering."
As the dark figure sized him up, Xiao Yi’s gaze also rested on the other party. The man was in his thirties, neither burly nor thin, and appeared quite ordinary, but his strength had also reached the high tier of the Bone Tempering Period!
Furthermore, Xiao Yi faintly sensed a tinge of bloodlust emanating from him, a scent only present on those who had been in countless battles and whose hands were steeped in blood.
Ordinary people could not detect this scent; only those of the sa kind could. Xiao Yi just barely counted as one of them and was particularly sensitive to this killing aura!
It seed that the mbers of this organization were indeed no kind souls. Each of the high-tier Bone Tempering experts exuded such a presence...
Recalling the experts from this organization he had encountered previously, a chill went through Xiao Yi’s heart.
At the sa ti, a surge of murderous intent flashed instantly across his mind. (To be continued. If you like this work, welco to Qidian (qidian) to cast your recomndation votes and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
