Li Shanhai hung up the phone, a flicker of curiosity in his eyes. From Li Xiaotian's words, it seemed he was planning something big. But what exactly?
Still, Li Shanhai felt a warmth in his heart. Li Xiaotian's proactive help was like a timely snow-donated charcoal, a great assistance.
On the other side, Li Xiaotian glanced at the dozens of figures standing behind him, a slight curve to his lips.
The Dragon King Hall couldn't fight? What a joke!
Since its inception, the Dragon King Hall had thrived on conflict. Every War God of the Dragon King Hall grew through battle. In their eyes, only combat brought joy, while rest made them weak.
Little did anyone know, on this very day, all the War Gods of the Dragon King Hall had arrived in Great Qin's Jiangnan through various channels.
Excluding the War Gods lost in the previous major battle against the Assassin Alliance, that war had also seen three new War Gods emerge from the crucible of conflict for the Dragon King Hall.
At this moment, including Li Xiaotian himself and the hidden War God experts, the Dragon King Hall numbered thirty-one!
And this time, they had all arrived!
"Dragon One, have you confirmed?" Li Xiaotian asked.
"Big Brother, it's confirmed. The Great Qin War Department, belonging to the ancient martial arts families, has three individuals who pose a threat to Li Shanhai's position. All are War God level experts."
"Among the Great Qin's various departments, there are forty individuals from the Bai family with relatively high positions, and fifty-one core executives in the Bai family's various industries across Great Qin!"
Dragon One replied, his eyes flashing with excitement.
"Distribute the list. The decapitation operation can commence!" Li Xiaotian commanded lightly.
"Yes!" The thirty War Gods responded in unison.
Their mission tonight was to make the people on the list disappear from this world!
The thirty War God experts departed swiftly. Simultaneously, the Dragon King Hall's covert operatives also began their movements, each with their own tasks. The execution window was tonight.
Before dawn, everyone must return!
Chen Bo was from the ancient martial arts Chen family. He was currently the commander of the War Department's Third Legion, holding a high position. In the entire War Department, only Li Shanhai could command him.
Tonight, Chen Bo was exceptionally pleased, having drunk himself into a stupor. He had thought his tenure as commander was nearing its end. Unexpectedly, that old man Li Shanhai had foolishly provoked their Ancient Martial Arts Alliance.
Now, it was perfect. The Ancient Martial Arts Alliance was pressuring the Qin Lord to remove Li Shanhai from his position as War Department Commander. Once Li Shanhai was removed, he, Chen Bo, was the most suitable candidate for the commander position.
This meant that in no time, he would become the First Commander of the War Department, a person second only to the Qin Lord in all of Great Qin!
How could this not make him happy?
Chen Bo laughed heartily, his face filled with exhilaration. He walked to the rooftop, preparing to shout out to vent his excitement, but suddenly, a chill ran down his spine.
On the rooftop, a dark figure had inexplicably appeared before Chen Bo!
"Who?" Chen Bo's eyes flashed with vigilance.
"Dragon King Hall, An Mei. By my King's command, I shall escort you on your journey!" An Mei spoke, and then her figure instantly vanished from Chen Bo's sight.
"Not good!!" Chen Bo was instantly alarmed, half of his drunkenness receding. He quickly prepared to defend himself.
He was, after all, a War God expert, and possessed the inheritance of his family, making him stronger than the average War God. Thus, he reacted quickly.
But his opponent this time was the leader of the Dragon King Hall's covert operations, the most skilled assassin in the Dragon King Hall!
A little over ten minutes later, Chen Bo's corpse fell from the building, dead on the spot.
When Chen Bo's trusted aides discovered him, his body was already ice-cold. Instantly, his aides were terrified, and alarms blared throughout Chen Bo's estate.
Such scenes were unfolding across Great Qin tonight. Every target encountered by the Dragon King Hall operatives did not last even half an hour, all perishing one by one.
Their deaths were varied, and to outsiders, each appeared to be the result of various accidents.
Chen Bo was said to have fallen from the building while drunk, others drowned in their bathtubs, some were electrocuted, some died in traffic accidents, and some perished in house fires.
In short, not a single person who died tonight appeared to have been assassinated!
Throughout the night, the War Department's command center's alarms rang incessantly, and the Bai family's old residence was bombarded with emergency calls.
Li Shanhai sat in his seat, a look of bewilderment on his face, yet his heart was filled with excitement. At the same time, he was curious.
Three War God experts from the War Department had died in freak accidents!
This news, sounding utterly preposterous, was true. War God experts, with their physical conditioning far surpassing ordinary people, should not have died even in accidents.
Yet now, they truly were dead!!
And the three who died were all from ancient martial arts families!
Li Shanhai couldn't help but inwardly cheer. He knew this was Li Xiaotian's doing, and his methods were truly exhilarating!
Meanwhile, in the Bai family's old residence, roars of fury echoed. Bai Tianxia's face was ashen, a terrifying aura emanating from him. Beside him lay the corpse of a servant he had casually killed in a fit of rage earlier.
Just moments ago, the core figures of the Bai family's various industries across Great Qin had all met with accidental deaths!!
"Accident? Hmph! This is murder!!" Bai Tianxia snorted, his face contorted with rage.
Nearly a hundred people, all dying in freak accidents overnight—how was this possible??
"Investigate! Investigate for me! This is a provocation to the Bai family, a declaration of war! Whoever it is, I will make them pay a thousand, even a hundred thousand times over!" Bai Tianxia roared. The Bai family's decades of accumulation had suffered heavy losses overnight, filling him with fury. Even with his normally excellent self-control and good temper, he couldn't hold back any longer. This time, the perpetrator had gone too far, striking at his very foundations.
"Deploy everyone! Contact the other major families! Do not let go of anyone suspected, better to kill a thousand wrongly than let one escape! Especially the Dragon King Hall!"
Bai Tianxia gritted his teeth, saying this. There was a high probability that the Dragon King Hall was responsible, but it could also be Li Shanhai.
However, at this moment, he no longer cared who it was. All he wanted was revenge and to defend the Bai family's honor!
Throughout the entire night, the Bai family operated at full capacity. No one rested, nor dared to. The Bai family's intelligence network across all regions worked tirelessly, leaving no stone unturned.
Soon, the results came in: it was the Dragon King Hall!
"Deploy all War Gods. Cooperate with Cangmang to deal with Li Xiaotian. I want him dead, I want the Dragon King Hall to vanish, and I want all of Li Xiaotian's friends and family to die without a burial place!"
Bai Tianxia roared, his entire being consumed by madness. He was enraged, his heart filled with killing intent, wishing he could tear Li Xiaotian to shreds immediately.
The Bai family's losses this time felt like humiliation and ignited his wrath, making his family a laughingstock!
An ancient martial arts family, provoked in such a manner, if he did not retaliate, then the Bai family he had painstakingly built would truly be a joke!
