his caliber could never stand a chance against a noble like Jin Yiwei. Even a hundred of them would only be enough to fill the gap between his teeth."Hmm!"Seeing this, the shark and the muscular man w...[ ]

"Hmm!" Ling Hao nodded thoughtfully. "It is indeed a bit strange!"

Given his understanding of the nobility, this reaction was indeed not expected, and there should have been some sort of action.

Now that so many days have passed, there hasn't been the slightest breeze or stir. This situation is clearly strange.

"Big brother, if the Xue family remains unyielding, should we expose the dirt on the Buddha we had concealed and get the Shadow Gate to come and apprehend them Let's see how they react," the Judge asked.

"It doesn't hurt or itch, it's not necessary!" Ling Hao shook his head slightly.

"What does that mean" the judge hesitated slightly.

"Your Honor, this is pointless!" Shen Le explained.

"The gates and the three great families are completely different concepts. Even if there is dirt on them, it's difficult to shake their foundation."

"Within the powerful families, what they lack least is people. They can easily push a few people out to take the blame and resolve it effortlessly."

"The relationship between the landed gentry and various factions is intricate, not just in Jianghai but also in the capital. If there isn't irrefutable evidence to bring them down with a single blow, it will only be scratching the surface."

"What are we going to do then We've cast such a wide net, just waiting for the influential figures to jump in. If they don't budge, catching only a few small fry would be too pathetic." The Judge muttered, clicking his tongue.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Just at that moment, there was a knock at the door, and Tang Lin walked in.

"Mr. Lin, is something the matter" Shen Le asked.

"Young Master, someone from the Xue family has sent an invitation!" Tang Lin handed the card in his hand to Shen Le.

"Huh" Shen Yue was slightly taken aback, took the invitation and glanced at it before looking at Ling Hao.

"Young Ling, the head of the Xue clan has invited me to attend his birthday banquet. He specifically mentioned that I can bring someone along."

"Oh" Ling Hao raised an eyebrow.

"They seem to have plenty of leisure time, even having the mood for a grand banquet" The judge sneered coldly.

"Young Ling, would you like to go there" Shen Le continued.

"They've already sent the invitation to you, why not go" Ling Hao smiled faintly. "When"

"Tonight!" Shen Le responded.

"Heh heh, let's go out for a big dinner tonight!" Ling Hao's eyes narrowed slightly.

The other party specifically noted that Shen Le could bring people, which was largely because they were coming for him.

He'd love to see what the other party is up to!

It's 5 p.m. in the evening.

Five people, including Ling Hao, arrived at the designated banquet venue. It was a large manor located on the outskirts of the city west, covering an area of at least 100,000 square meters or more. It nestled beside mountains and water, with beautiful scenery.

"Please show us your invitations!" A man in black spoke as the five arrived at the gates of the manor.

Shen Le handed the invitation to the other person. The man in black looked down at it, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.

"It's Mr. Shen, please come in!"

In a short while, five people entered the manor. Looking around, they saw that the manor was already bustling with people, lively and exciting.

All the attendees at the banquet were distinguished figures, each with a prestigious aura. The men were impeccably dressed in suits, while the women radiated elegance in their glittering attire.

"Brother, it seems like tonight is really a Hongmen Banquet!" Xuan Pang said after slightly sensing the surroundings.

"In this manor, there are at least ten martial artists above the level of War God, including two War Lords."

"Heh heh, you underestimate them!" Ling Hao smiled faintly, his eyes narrowed slightly as they looked towards the depths of the manor.

"Are the Xue family prepared to keep us all here today" The Judge's eyes flashed with a cold light. "Interesting!"

"Hold your horses and see what they're up to before you say anything!" Ling Hao smiled again.

"Mr. Shen, thank you for your trouble!" A moment later, a man's voice came over.

Five people turned their heads to look. They saw a dashing young master leading a group of people over.

Ling Hao's eyes swept over the opponent, his pupils narrowing slightly. The young man was not only a martial artist but also had formidable cultivation, already at the late stage of the Warlord Realm.

"Greetings, Young Master Xue!" Shen Le gazed at the youth with a faint smile.

"Mr. Shen, these four are your friends" asked a young master named Xue Zhixuan.

As she spoke, her eyes unconsciously glanced at Ling Hao, a flash of something different passing through the depths of her eyes.

"Mmm!" Shen Le nodded and continued, "Young Master Xue, I'm truly sorry. Today was too rushed, and I didn't have time to prepare a gift for Master Xue. I will definitely make it up to you another day."

"Mr. Shen, you're too kind. Your presence is the best gift. On behalf of my uncle, I thank you!" Xue Zhixuan replied with a smile.

"What an odd sight, coming to a birthday feast with empty hands! Are you here to eat for free" A young dandy behind Xue Zhixuan scoffed.

"Heh heh, who is this" Shen Le looked at the other person with a faint smile.

"Don't talk back to me, I wouldn't speak to someone who eats for free!" the young master coldly responded.

"Is that so" Shen Le smiled again. "Then what if I made you apologize"

"You idiot, who do you think you are, wanting me to apologize to you" The young master said in a low voice, "It's just that Mr. Xu is well-tempered. If it were me, I would have kicked you out a long time ago!"

"You really won't apologize" Shen Le's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Mr. Shen, please don't mind this. Mr. Tian is not from Jianghai, so he doesn't know you. Please forgive any offense he may have caused." Xue Zhixuan spoke first.

After finishing, he looked at the young master and said, "Tian Shao, quickly apologize to Mr. Shen. The fact that Mr. Shen is here to attend already gives my uncle immense face."

"Kid, why bother with this kind of person He's really acting like he's somebody!" the young master continued.

"It's bad enough that he eats white rice on his own, but to also bring four poor people along is just..."

Boom!

Before his words had even left his mouth, Xuan Pang raised his hand and swept out a gust of wind. The young master tumbled several times before collapsing to the ground, with a thin trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.

When Xue Zhixuan saw this scene, his brow furrowed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The group of people behind him also had a look of surprise on their faces, clearly not expecting this fat man to have such skill.

"You dare to touch me!" The young master roared as he scrambled to his feet.

"Get down!" Xuan Pang coldly spoke.

He actually dared to say that his own older brother was poor and destitute! He truly doesn't know how to write the word "death"!

"You're looking for death!" The young master roared again, raising his hand and charging towards Xuan Pang. He was a warrior-level expert.

Bang!

He hadn't taken a few steps before being sent flying again. He crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He lay there for a long time, unable to get up. "Apologize, or die!" Xuan Pang growled, his voice low and menacing.

"Sir, this young man is new here and doesn't know many people. On his behalf, I apologize for any offense he may have caused. Please be magnanimous." Xue Zhixuan said after a moment of thought.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Just then, a footstep sounded, and a man with a sword at his waist walked over. Hao never asked, so they didn't bring it up."I'm sorry... I'm really sorry..." Xue Luosha said with a hint of guilt."What are you hiding from us" Lu Yue's voice was harsh.“Someone in the Dark World p...
