Hidden Master: starting by canceling ten marriage proposals

"Hmm?"

Yin Tian looked at the King in surprise, not expecting him to say such a thing.

"Do you know about the Hidden World Clans?"

The King asked in a soft voice.

Yin Tian shook his head, indicating he did not know.

"Hidden World Clans, transcendent and reclusive, seldom venture out into the world, only choosing to reveal themselves at special times. The books in your hands were entrusted to me by someone from the Hidden World Clans to auction off on their behalf."

"What do you mean?"

"According to them, these ancient books contain tremendous opportunities, but the Hidden World Clans have never been able to fully comprehend them. Thus, they thought to disperse the books, to have more people assist in understanding them."

"Then why is only one book auctioned off each year?"

"Because these ancient books were obtained through great effort and difficulty from various places."

The King said softly, "So in fact, even they do not have a complete collection of the books."

Hearing this, Yin Tian finally understood why there was only one ancient book auctioned off each year.

"The Hidden World Clans are very powerful. If you're curious about these ancient books, when the sixth one arrives, I will directly give it to you," the King said softly. "However, you should try not to get involved with the Hidden World Clans...they are...all paranoid madmen!"

Yin Tian neither agreed nor disagreed with the King's words, "Let's talk about this matter later, who knows what will happen in the future?"

"There's no problem now, right?"

Yin Tian asked.

The King was covered in sweat.

How much does this guy want to avoid talking to him?

"No problem now."

"That's good, then I'll take my leave."

As Yin Tian spoke, he was already striding out of the Imperial Mausoleum...

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Through Chi Yuxian, Yin Tian learned that after he left, the six great families of the Imperial City had all received considerable punishment.

The three brothers of Wen King were severely chastised by the King and were stripped of their inheritance rights for life.

But all of this no longer had anything to do with Yin Tian.

At the moment, Yin Tian was in the Inquiry Hall of Dragon Hall, looking at the piteous sight of Yin Hongyuan.

Yin Hongyuan had been tortured by Madman Qiu for three days.

Madman Qiu strictly followed Yin Tian's instructions, torturing one of Yin Hongyuan's limbs each day.

In three days, the flesh on Yin Hongyuan's two arms and one leg was gone, only the white bones remained!

He looked at Yin Tian in front of him weakly, his eyes filled with a plea for mercy, "Yin Tian...I beg you...give me a swift death..."

At this moment, he only wished for death!

But to fall into the hands of Madman Qiu, even death had become a luxury.

"Wanting to die?"

Yin Tian sneered, "My father was suppressed by you people for over twenty years!"

Hearing Yin Tian's words, Yin Hongyuan's face immediately showed bitterness and resentment, "Yin Tian! You deserve to die! You should have died back then!!"

"I'm alive, surely to deal with you," Yin Tian replied with a cold smirk, "If I were dead, who would seek vengeance and redress our grievances?"

"You truly deserve death! You really do!!"

Yin Hongyuan was now merely wailing at Yin Tian, almost as if he'd gone mad.

However.

Yin Tian was already too lazy to continue wasting words with Yin Hongyuan.

He turned his head to look at Madman Qiu at his side, "This person, if he can be kept alive, do so indefinitely. I don't want him to die so easily, that would be too cheap for him!"

"Yes!"

Madman Qiu responded respectfully.

The words of Yin Tian were like imperial edicts to him.

Whatever Yin Tian said, he just needed to follow.

Yin Tian stepped out of the Inquiry Hall.

He was about to return to Yin Mansion, but his cellphone suddenly rang.

Yin Tian took out his phone and saw that it was a call from Li Chang, "Master, scouts have just reported back, we've clarified the whereabouts of the Heretic Feng Shui Master's stronghold!"

"Hmm?"

Yin Tian's breathing became a bit more rapid.

Finally, they found it!

"How is the defense capability there?"

"Very weak."

Li Chang replied respectfully, "For the matter they had been scheming before, the Heretic Feng Shui Master dispatched all their elites, leaving their stronghold immensely vulnerable. And due to the secrecy of their stronghold, they aren't even aware of what has happened in the outside world."

"Good!"

Yin Tian nodded slowly, "It seems I have things to do on my side now."

"Do you need me to contact Shadow Hall and the War Department for you?"

"No need."

Yin Tian said indifferently, "They're just a bunch of ragtag soldiers, there's no need for your help."

"Ah, well...yes."

Li Chang hesitated for a moment but ultimately nodded his head.

"From now on, investigate everything concerning this country," Yin Tian said, as if entrusting his final wishes, speaking softly. "Whether domestic or foreign, any harm towards this country, try to nip it all in the bud."

"Okay."

Li Chang agreed once more.

Yin Tian took a deep breath and then hung up the phone.

This matter involved his father.

He didn't want to rely on external forces!
