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

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

So many days have passed, yet there hasn't been the slightest sign of anything. This is definitely strange.

"Big brother, if the Xue family remains unmoved, should we expose the dirt on the Buddha that we have, and then have the Shadow Gate come knocking and take them Let's see how they react" The Judge asked.

"Not worth it, not even a bit!" Ling Hao shook his head slightly.

"What does that mean" The Judge paused for a moment.

"Lord Judge, this is not going to be effective!" Shen Le explained from the side.

"The aristocracy and the three major families are completely different concepts. Even if they have scandals, it's difficult to shake their foundations."

"Within the aristocratic family, what's most abundant is people. They can just casually push a few individuals out to take the blame and easily resolve it."

"The relationships between the powerful families and various factions are intricate, not just in Jiang Hai but also in the capital city. They have their people everywhere. If there's no irrefutable evidence to bring them down with one fell swoop, it's like scratching an itch without reaching the source."

"What are we going to do then We've set such a huge net, just waiting for the big fish to jump in. If they don't move, catching only a few small fry would be too pathetic." The Judge smacked his lips and said.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At that moment, a knock on the door was heard, followed by Tang Lin walking in.

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

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

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

"Ling Shao, the head of the Xue family invited me to attend his birthday banquet and specially stated that I could bring someone."

"Oh" Ling Hao raised an eyebrow.

"They seem to be quite leisurely, having the time and leisure for a grand feast like this" The judge smiled coldly.

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

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

"Tonight!" Shen Le responded.

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

The other party specially noted that Shen Le could bring people, which was largely due to him.

He was curious to see what the other party was up to!

It's five o'clock in the evening.

Ling Hao and his five companions arrived at the designated banquet venue, a large manor located on the outskirts of the city west. The manor covered an area of at least 100,000 square meters, nestled amidst mountains and by the water, with picturesque scenery.

"Please show us your invitations!" Five people arrived at the manor gates, and a man in black spoke.

Shen Le handed the invitation to the other party. The man in black glanced 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. At a glance, the manor was bustling with people and lively beyond measure.

All the attendees of the banquet were prominent figures, each adorned with prestigious labels and exuding an air of nobility. The men were impeccably dressed in suits, while the women shimmered in elegant jewels and attire.

"Big brother, it seems like tonight is really a feast of the鴻門 (Hongmen)!" Xuan Pang sensed his surroundings slightly before speaking.

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

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

"The Xue clan is preparing to keep us all here today" The judge's eyes flashed with a cold light: "Interesting!"

"Don't jump to conclusions just yet, let's see what they're up to before we say anything." Ling Hao smiled again.

"Mr. Shen, thank you for your trouble!" Shortly after, a man's voice replied.

Five people turned their heads to look. They saw a young master with an imposing bearing leading a group of people over.

Ling Hao's eyes swept over the other person, his pupils narrowed slightly. The young man was not only a martial artist but also had powerful cultivation, reaching the late stage of a warrior.

"Hello, Young Master Xue!" Shen Yue looked at the young man and smiled faintly.

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

As she spoke, her eyes unconsciously swept over Ling Hao, a strange glimmer flashing from the depths of her gaze.

"Mm!" 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 here is the best gift of all. On behalf of my uncle, I would like to express my gratitude!" Xue Zhixuan replied with a smile.

“It’s really rare to come to a birthday banquet with empty hands. Are you here to eat for free” A young master behind Xue Zhixuan gave a dismissive look.

"Hee hee, who is this" Shen Yue looked at the other party and smiled faintly.

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

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

"You idiot, who do you think you are, wanting me to apologize to you" the young master said coldly. "It's just that Brother Xuan has a good temper; if it were me, I would have kicked you out ages ago!"

"Don't you even apologize" Shen Le's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Mr. Shen, please don't take offense. Tian Shao isn't from Jiang Hai, so he doesn't know you. Please forgive him for any offense caused." Xue Zhixuan said openingly.

After finishing, she looked at the young master: "Tian Shao, quickly apologize to Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen's presence here already gives my uncle tremendous face."

"Little Xu, why bother with this kind of person He really thinks he's someone important!" The young master continued.

"It's fine if he eats plain rice himself, but bringing four poor people along is just..."

Bang!

Before the words left his lips, Xuan Pang raised his hand and swept out a gust of wind. Young Master tumbled several times before collapsing to the ground, with a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.

Xue Zhixuan saw this scene, his brow furrowed slightly, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

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

"You dare touch me!" the young master roared as he got up from the ground.

"Kneel down!" Xuan Pang coldly opened his mouth.

To actually say that his own elder brother is poor and destitute, he really doesn't know how to write the word "death"!

"I see you're looking for death!" The young master roared again, raising his hand and charging towards Xuan Pang, with the skill of a battle general.

Boom!

He hadn't taken a few steps before he was flung out again, crashing to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood. He lay there for a long time, unable to get up. "If you don't apologize, you're dead!" Xuan Pang saw that the other party spoke in a low voice.

"Sir, as this gentleman is new here and doesn't know many people, I apologize on his behalf. I hope you will be magnanimous." Xue Zhizhen said after a moment of thought.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

At that moment, a footstep sounded, and then a man with a sword on his hip walked over. a palm strike.Bang!After the wave of energy passed, everyone including the old man was knocked back again, falling to the ground and spitting out large mouthfuls of blood.Tap!On the square, jaws lay...
