Situ Lansheng was like a stray dog. He had come with ten subordinates to capture Wang Bingxia, but ended up with his entire force annihilated.
The subordinates had died gruesome deaths, not even leaving behind a complete corpse. What troubled him was that he didn't even know what had happened.
Pitifully, this fellow was a consecrated member of the Situ family. He usually looked down on everyone, showing no regard for anyone. But now, he was nothing more than a stray dog.
Two vans sped away from the Wang residence, taking the winding mountain path towards the north at their fastest speed. Trembling, he picked up his phone and dialed Situ Liuguang's number.
"Young Master..."
"Haha, you've got that little vixen Wang Bingxia, haven't you? Hurry and send her to the airport. I can't wait to use this cauldron! Haha..." On the other end of the phone, Situ Liuguang was in an exceptionally good mood, his laughter clearly conveying his joy.
"Young Master, the mission failed!
Wang Bingxia was not captured, and the ten men I brought with me are all dead!"
"What! Are you kidding me!" Hearing this news, Situ Liuguang almost bit off his own tongue.
"What happened, how could this be! What exactly happened! How did those people die!" Situ Liuguang fired off three fatal questions!
"Young Master, there were two women beside Wang Bingxia. One claimed to be the daughter of the Dragon Tiger Mountain Sect Leader. This woman's martial arts are very high, and she is skilled in using talismans.
The other is a foreign woman with blue hair, whose origin is unknown...
As for how my subordinates died, a few were killed by talismans. As for the rest, I don't know how they died. Suddenly, they turned into ice sculptures without a trace..."
A foreign woman with blue hair suddenly turning into an ice sculpture... These few details immediately formed a clear image in Situ Liuguang's mind.
His elder brother, Situ Leisheng, after returning from Hell Paradise Island, had written a detailed report, clearly describing what he saw and heard before and after landing on the island, and the people he encountered.
Although Situ Liuguang greatly disdained his elder brother, he was very concerned about what had happened on Hell Paradise Island and had studied the report very carefully.
He immediately realized that this foreign woman with blue hair was actually Aurora Kuite, a powerful esper!
"Forget it, you encountered an esper, so this can't entirely be blamed on you. You come back first. It seems that to capture this woman, we need to send more experts!"
Suddenly, a "bang!" sound came from the phone, followed by the sound of screeching brakes and a collision. Then, the phone lost signal!
At the same time, the car Situ Lansheng was in was traveling on a mountain road. The Situ family drivers were all well-trained. Even though the mountain road was rugged, the car's speed exceeded 60 kilometers per hour.
However, the tire suddenly burst. The driver desperately tried to control the car, but it was useless. The speed was too high, and the car directly rolled down the mountainside, falling into a ravine more than 30 meters deep!
The car tumbled several times before stopping. The immense impact killed the driver instantly.
After a while, everything returned to calm. Situ Lansheng painfully crawled out of the wreckage of the car.
Although he was a martial arts master with high cultivation, a car accident was like iron hitting flesh!
The deformed car body had broken his arm. His arm was now in a very strange shape, a shape no normal human arm would have!
Situ Lansheng was close to tears. Originally, he thought he was helping and trying to curry favor with Young Master Situ Liuguang, but not only were his elite subordinates wiped out, but the mission also failed.
This was truly a case of trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice, and he might even face punishment from the family upon his return, as this was an unauthorized action that caused significant losses!
The Situ family had not suffered such severe losses in decades.
As if things couldn't get any worse, he then encountered a car accident.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have been seriously injured or killed by the impact. Situ Lansheng, relying on his superhuman physique, endured the collision, but his arm was inevitably severely fractured.
This would greatly reduce his strength. Not only would he fail to gain a higher status, but it would be good enough if he could retain his position as a consecrated member.
However, as soon as he crawled out of the car, a man appeared before his eyes.
This man was ordinary in appearance, the kind you wouldn't be able to find if you threw him into a crowd. Even if you looked at his face for a while, it would be difficult to remember his features!
"You, who are you!"
In the desolate wilderness, this guy suddenly appeared. Without even thinking, he knew that his current predicament must be related to this person.
"You dare to come to my house and bully my woman, and you ask who I am? How ridiculous!"
As the man spoke, he reached out and wiped his face. Soon, he transformed into a different appearance.
Situ Lansheng's pupils contracted sharply. He immediately recognized the person before him as Ling Tian!
"This... this is impossible, didn't you die in a plane crash?"
"My life is very resilient. Many people want me dead. What is a small plane crash?
However, shouldn't we settle the score now? You came to bully my woman. If you don't give me an explanation, you might not even leave behind a complete corpse today!"
"Ling Tian, I beg you, spare me. I was just following orders. The wronged have their debtors, and the debt has its owner. All of this was ordered by that scoundrel Situ Liuguang..."
His words stopped abruptly halfway through. He was so angry his nose almost turned crooked because he saw that Ling Tian was holding a mobile phone and filming.
"Very good, continue speaking. I've recorded what you just said. Everything you've said will become evidence in court. You have the right to remain silent!"
"Damn it!"
Situ Lansheng's nose was almost crooked with anger. He had just feigned weakness to lull Ling Tian into a false sense of security, intending to launch a sneak attack when Ling Tian let his guard down!
But Ling Tian actually recorded this conversation. One could imagine how much trouble he would be in if Situ Liuguang saw this video.
"Die!"
Situ Lansheng suddenly raised his hand and, with his other uninjured arm, threw a flying dagger. This hidden weapon was imbued with internal energy and shot towards Ling Tian!
This hidden weapon was Situ Lansheng's trump card for survival, on which he had spent decades of painstaking effort!
