Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law

Myanmar, Neibi, Elder Jian Palace.

The State Preceptor Hemeng was looking at the Xuanjian Sword at his feet, trembling with anger, his face ashen!

Not long ago, the people he sent to "handle business" in China returned.

However, half of them were missing!

Three of his top disciples, along with two additional court guards, were dead. Only five court guards managed to flee back, terrified out of their wits, utterly rattled.

At this moment, they were all fearfully kneeling in front of Hemeng, not daring to move even an inch, like defeated soldiers!

"What did you say? Dan Min, Sai Gang, and Ye Tu are all dead? And the other two as well?"

Hemeng tightly gripped the armrest of his chair, asking furiously.

"Crack!"

At that moment, a maid who had just walked out from the inner chamber dropped the fruit tray she was holding!

The maid was draped in a thin veil, faintly revealing her alluring wheat-colored skin, with a graceful figure, bare feet, she was the beauty Lu Da, sent by Tarsen!

Now, she had completely become Hemeng's plaything.

And because she could endure more than others, Hemeng had been relentlessly tormenting her lately, letting her experience the terrifying old abnormality hidden beneath his noble exterior.

But she had no choice but to endure it all in silence.

After all, the reason she was sent by Tarsen was to persuade Dan Min to go to China and assassinate Jiang Feng!

But now, she heard that Dan Min had failed, and that two other top disciples who went with him had also perished in China!

How could she not be shocked? Indignant?!

Hemeng glanced at Lu Da, then fixed his eyes on the five kneeling court guards, roaring, "Answer me! Have you all turned mute?!"

The five court guards shivered, and immediately, someone replied, "Yes! Lord Dan Min, Lord Sai Gang, and Lord Ye Tu were indeed killed in China, by Jiang Feng! The Xuanjian Sword that Lord Dan Min left behind is still... still..."

"Still what?"

"We managed to secretly bring it back when Jiang Feng wasn't looking..."

"Was it that he wasn't looking, or did he deliberately let you bring it back to show me, to intimidate me?"

Hemeng coldly said, "Everyone else is dead, but you five returned alive. Did he let you go on purpose, to deliver a message to me?"

Hemeng, who had lived for over ninety years, was astute enough to immediately grasp Jiang Feng's intention.

"He... he said, Master Hemeng, and Chairman Tarsen of the Heigu Group should both wait patiently, as he will come to take your heads..."

A court guard replied, trembling with fear.

"The exact words were, to wash your necks clean and wait to be executed..."

"Bastards!!!" Hemeng shouted angrily, suddenly holding a precious sword, with a flash of blade light, the heads of the five kneeling court guards were severed on the spot, blood gushing!

Poor guards couldn't even react instinctively before being beheaded, eyes widened in horror.

At the same time, Lu Da shivered in fright, biting her lip tightly.

"Get Tarsen to me immediately!"

Hemeng slowly sheathed his sword. As Myanmar's First Swordsman, his sword was always at his side, just under the chair, but his drawing speed was so fast that ordinary people couldn't see it.

Not long after, Hemeng received the report and rushed to the Elder Jian Palace.

Upon entering the palace and seeing the five headless corpses lying on the floor, blood flowing everywhere, he was also startled.

Something was wrong here, could it be...

He glanced at Lu Da, who sorrowfully shook her head at him.

"Master Hemeng, what happened here? You...?" Tarsen's sense of unease intensified.

"Tarsen, this is all your doing!"

Hemeng coldly said, "Because of you, I lost three disciples!"

"What?" Tarsen was chilled: "You... you mean to say?"

"Yes, Dan Min, Sai Gang, all of them failed!" Hemeng's face was grave: "Tell me honestly, who is this Jiang Feng from China that even Dan Min couldn't defeat?"

"Master Hemeng, I really don't know. All I know is he's from Binhai, very young, and very strong. My son and all six of his bodyguards were killed by him..." Tarsen replied with a bitter smile.

"Has this person never appeared before? You've been working with the Yan Family in Binhai, China, and Mu Jinbiao for so long, and never heard of him?" Hemeng stared intently at Tarsen.

"I swear I haven't! If I had heard of this person earlier, I would have taken precautions, and wouldn't have repeatedly sent people over. Even the Yan Family and Mu Jinbiao in Binhai you mentioned were destroyed by this Jiang Feng. He's ruthless..."

Seeing that Tarsen wasn't lying, Hemeng finally tempered his anger.

"Master Hemeng, since even Dan Min died at Jiang Feng's hands, what should we do next? Should we find a way to eliminate him? The blood debt between us must be repaid in blood..."

Like a gambler, Tarsen was eager to recover lost ground, asking with a face full of unwillingness.

"Us?" Hemeng sneered, "Don't flatter yourself, our transaction is complete. I only summoned you here because I appreciated the charm of that woman, Lu Da."

"You can rest assured, I will not let Jiang Feng go! Killing my disciple is one thing, but daring to threaten me for execution, that's unprecedented arrogance!" Hemeng's eyes flashed with killing intent!

"Master Hemeng, if I may be so bold, are you planning to personally go to China as a State Preceptor to kill Jiang Feng?" Tarsen asked excitedly.

"Ridiculous! Who is Jiang Feng to warrant me going in my esteemed role of State Preceptor? If mishandled, it would exacerbate tensions, provoking conflict between China and Myanmar!"

Hemeng disdainfully said, "Moreover, many old monsters in China are waiting for me. I can't blatantly enter!"

"Then what do you propose?"

"You should go back now, don't ask unnecessary questions, and visit the Elder Jian Palace less in the future. I don't want to see you again!" Hemeng impatiently waved him off, issuing an order to leave.

Tarsen reluctantly sighed, saying, "Yes! Then, Master Hemeng, I will await your good news. No matter how long, once news of Jiang Feng's death in China arrives, I'll celebrate with fireworks and rich gifts!"

He then turned heavily, stumbling out.

Hemeng's squinting eyes were full of murderous intent, meaningful!
