Young Master in Flower City

A secret chamber in the Seven-Star Tower.

At this moment, Yan Tong stood guard outside the secret chamber, a strange cold glint in his expression, with a hint of killing intent in his eyes. But it flickered unsteadily, as if he was making a significant decision, ultimately deciding against it.

Inside the chamber, Duan Xingnan sat alone in an armchair, his fingers lightly tapping the table. Only Wang Peng stood by his side, his expression rather apprehensive. It was understandable, after all, the man before him was a legendary hero in the Martial Combat Realm, how could he not feel apprehensive facing such an extraordinary figure?

"Speak, what's going on?" Duan Xingnan continued to lightly tap the table, addressing Wang Peng indifferently, the implication in his words was self-evident.

Wang Peng trembled as he spoke, "This matter started because of my son..."

Wang Peng quickly explained the ins and outs of the situation. Instantly, Duan Xingnan's tapping fingers abruptly stopped, and an invisible killing intent filled the chamber, causing the temperature to plummet.

Only he could mobilize the Twelve Flying Peng Castles' Celestial Eagles together.

As for Wang Peng, feeling the killing intent, his legs immediately weakened and he knelt down: "Fortress Master, spare me!"

"Get up!" Duan Xingnan snorted coldly and continued, "Did I ever say I wanted to kill you? Not only will I not kill you, but I will reward you heavily, this time, you have made a great achievement!"

A great achievement?

Wang Peng felt confused. What great achievement did he make? Wasn't this a burden on the Seven-Star Tower? Why did the Fortress Master say he made a great achievement?

This left Wang Peng puzzled, and he felt that the Seven-Star Tower saved him only for face.

After all, he was an affiliated force of the Seven-Star Tower. If he died, wouldn't the Seven-Star Tower lose face? So, he thought the Seven-Star Tower only acted to save face.

However, now he felt bewildered, completely unable to understand why he made a great achievement.

Then, Wang Peng weakly asked, "May I ask the Fortress Master if I can..."

"It's enough that you know you made a contribution, you don't need to know so much more, it won't be good for you, now go!"

Duan Xingnan cut off Wang Peng's words, and Wang Peng nodded, respectfully retreating.

After he walked out of the secret chamber, he vaguely felt a hint of killing intent envelop him, causing his heart to tremble. Turning his gaze, he found Yan Tong staring at him.

"Greetings to Chief Yan!" Wang Peng forced a wry smile, and Yan Tong said coldly, "Get lost!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Peng, with fear in his heart, immediately left the spot, heading towards the main hall of Seven-Star Tower.

Inside the secret chamber.

At this moment, Duan Xingnan's eyes revealed a hint of indifference, whispering to himself, "No matter how deeply hidden, they eventually surface. The world says, to kill the Fortress Master, first kill the Twelve Celestial Eagles. This time, I want to break this rumor. I want to see if you can continue to live in this world without the Twelve Celestial Eagles perishing!"

With that, Duan Xingnan's eyes gleamed with even more intense killing intent, wanting to uproot the Twelve Flying Peng Castles, seeing it as an opportunity.

Duan Xingnan's goal was to unify the Martial Combat Realm, thus, how could he tolerate the Flying Peng Castles standing in the Martial Combat Realm? Moreover, after eliminating the Flying Peng Castles, his next target was the Assassin's Guild, but he knew clearly that now was not the time to act against the Assassin's Guild. If the Assassin's Guild and the Twelve Flying Peng Castles joined hands, it would be a disaster for Seven-Star Tower.

Subsequently, Duan Xingnan spoke indifferently: "Shangguan Fei, it's time for you to make a move!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a secret door inside the chamber opened. Quickly, a woman of unparalleled beauty with a hint of enchanting charm walked out from the secret compartment. Every step she took exuded an innate allure, as if she could make any man bow down to her elegance.

This woman was Shangguan Fei.

She had been raised by Duan Xingnan since childhood and taught exceptional skills, but she had never been given any assignment. Over the years, in the Seven-Star Tower, she was someone who lived freely and leisurely.

Of course, on the surface, Shangguan Fei was still an executive CEO of a multinational corporation in Huaxia.

"Fortress Master!" Shangguan Fei slightly bowed, her smile enchanting all living beings.

Duan Xingnan slowly lifted his gaze and spoke, "All these years, do you know why I haven't given you any task?"

"I don't know," Shangguan Fei shook her head.

"It's because you're my secret weapon!" Duan Xingnan's voice gradually turned cold as he continued, "Now, I have a task for you. You must complete it!"

"Please instruct me, Fortress Master!" Shangguan Fei's beautiful eyes flickered, and Duan Xingnan said, "Kill someone for me, but this person is very strong. Although I haven't fought him before, I'm sure his strength is no less than mine. Now having you make a move, do you understand what I mean?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Fei nodded with a slight smile, "I understand!"

"This is his name!" With that, Duan Xingnan handed a slip of paper to Shangguan Fei, who glanced at it with her enchanting eyes.

Then, Shangguan Fei, with her gentle steps, turned and entered the previous secret door, as if she had never appeared here.

After everything was arranged, Duan Xingnan got up, opened the secret chamber, and walked out. Yan Tong's eyes flickered as he followed silently.

Then, Duan Xingnan turned his gaze towards Yan Tong and said, "Make some arrangements, a distinguished guest will soon arrive!"

"Yes!" Yan Tong nodded, leaving the spot, naturally understanding what Duan Xingnan wanted him to arrange, undoubtedly setting up an inescapable net, waiting for the Celestial Eagle to fall into the trap.

Watching Yan Tong's departing figure, Duan Xingnan's deep eyes flashed with cold killing intent. The Seven-Star Tower would be the burial ground for the Celestial Eagle. Once the Celestial Eagle at the head of the Twelve Celestial Eagles fell, the destruction of the Twelve Flying Peng Castles would be just a matter of time.

But there was one thing that Duan Xingnan couldn't put his mind at ease: he had seen eleven of the Twelve Celestial Eagles, but the remaining one unsettled him. He wouldn't believe that this missing Celestial Eagle had perished.

This showed how extraordinary Duan Xingnan was, who could control the entire Seven-Star Tower. His cunning and strength were truly formidable and frightening.

At this moment, in a vast area outside the main hall of the Seven-Star Tower, a figure dressed in black suddenly descended from the sky. His sharp eyes were like the eagle's eye in the night sky, cold and terrifying, making people dare not look directly at him.

Moreover, his arrival instantly made the atmosphere of that vast area particularly oppressive.

"Who dares trespass the Seven-Star Tower!" At this moment, several dozen young men guarding the entrance of the Seven-Star Tower shouted coldly, and the Celestial Eagle slowly lifted his eyes, speaking coldly, "I'm here to kill!"

"Presumptuous!" Instantly, dozens of guards brandished their weapons, all ordinary steel knives. However, under the moonlight, even ordinary steel knives gleamed with a cold light, blindingly sharp.

Furthermore, their gazes were all filled with a sense of amusement; that in the dead of night, someone dared to trespass the Seven-Star Tower, claiming to come for a kill, was utterly laughable.

Hua~

However, in the next second, dozens of guards were shocked. They saw the Celestial Eagle dash forward in a flash, his speed like lightning. In a split second, a cold light appeared, and a short-bladed dagger was seen in his hand.

Puff, puff, puff~

As the Celestial Eagle's flickering figure solidified, he had already appeared behind several dozen guards. Yet, with his cold eyes, he didn't even glance at the guards as he stepped toward the main hall of the Seven-Star Tower.

At this moment, all those guards had rigid expressions, their gazes vacant. Upon closer inspection, each of their necks bore a bloody mark, evidently slashed by a sharp blade.

Subsequently, dozens of them fell to the ground, the scarlet blood appeared particularly alluring under the pale moonlight.
