Chapter 407: April 8th stir

It had been a whole day since Bai Xiong and Ju Lu went to hunt down Ye Qiu. Twenty-four hours had passed without a bit of news being sent back.

The squad leader of the Kang De Ji Er Clan ordered someone to contact the helicopter, but the helicopter also lost contact!

With the arrival of this news, every member of the Kang De Ji Er family sensed a heavy atmosphere.

Logically, the two SSS-level mutant humanoids, Bai Xiong and Ju Lu, were just out to kill one person, and they had gone together. No matter how you looked at it, they should have finished their task and returned to the clan by now. However, there was no word from either of them, nor from the helicopter that had gone after them, as if they had vanished into thin air.

This couldn’t help but lead to wild speculations.

People within the clan had been privately discussing it, Bai Xiong and Ju Lu were super soldiers, an unbeatable duo. Their joint action had always been invincible, but this time, after the Clan Leader summoned several important members of the family for a meeting, the upper echelon of the family forbade further discussion among the clan members, insisting that they must believe in the strength of the Kang De Ji Er Clan.

After Chai picked up the phone, he quietly listened to the roaring on the other end for a long while before finally hanging up.

"Young Master," the elder noted Chai’s grim expression.

"It doesn’t matter, the clan will find out about this sooner or later. For now, continue to send people to the location where Bai Xiong and Ju Lu were hunting Ye Qiu. I’ll handle the helicopter crash. Arrange for someone to immediately investigate Ye Qiu’s whereabouts."

"I understand," the elder nodded.

After the elder left, Chai’s fingers gripped the glass, his palm couldn’t help but tighten, "Well played, Ye Qiu. Even two SSS-level experts couldn’t kill you, I underestimated you!"

"Who on earth saved you..." Chai didn’t believe that Ye Qiu’s abilities were enough to escape from the hands of two top-tier mutant humanoids. There must have been some unexpected incident, which led to no news from either Bai Xiong or Ju Lu until now. He suspected that, perhaps, they had already been killed by someone.

But who had the strength to do that?

Chai’s brows were deeply furrowed, suddenly having such a powerful master emerging, he couldn’t help but pay attention, and even the clan had to take it seriously.

The destructive power of a Martial Artist, although not compared to a cannon shell causing widespread death and injury, could still make a person’s life utterly restless.

Though the era was one of firearms, a Martial Artist who had trained to the utmost could resist firearms with physical strength alone. Such power meant that, even with a firearm at hand, one would likely fall and bleed out on the spot.

Although Chai had never seen such an expert, he knew that such people existed in this world. They were elusive, rarely seen by ordinary folk, and they wouldn’t appear without reason, emerging only when it concerned themselves.

Chai had to figure out who the expert that saved Ye Qiu was, otherwise, it would be difficult for him to kill Ye Qiu.

The very next day, rumors still trickled out, spreading wider and wider, and even the underworld caught wind of the fact that Bai Xiong and Ju Lu had set out personally to kill Ye Qiu. As people eagerly awaited to learn what happened next and whether Ye Qiu was eliminated, the story came to an abrupt end.

"Bai Xiong and Ju Lu, this golden duo, could they really have met a crushing defeat this time?"

"To say that Ye Qiu took out Bai Xiong and Ju Lu at the same time, I don’t believe it. If he managed to escape alive from their hands, that alone would move him up several places on the leaderboard."

"Aren’t you curious about who could rescue Ye Qiu from the hands of Bai Xiong and Ju Lu?"

"The atmosphere in the Kang De Ji Er clan has changed, I have a feeling that Bai Xiong and Ju Lu might have encountered some misfortune. If they were really killed, who exactly could this expert be?"

The discussions on the underground world forum exploded, and Ye Qiu and the mysterious expert became hot topics, trending on search terms.

Soon, another post broke the news, describing the expert who rescued Ye Qiu as a legendary-level Martial Artist, suspected to have made a move several months ago, with a special note that this expert might be Ye Qiu’s mentor.

The forum became even more lively with people digging up the story of Ye Qiu storming into the world of Assassins under the name King Yan, becoming the king of Assassins of a generation. Now he has returned to his throne, ready to create a new legend. Not only is his mentor astonishingly formidable, but his own talents are also extraordinary, and at a young age, he has already achieved mastery, ranking as one of the dangerous individuals on the list.

Everyone who knew Ye Qiu, those browsing the underground world forum, all focused on that highlighted name, the two characters "Ye Qiu".

Shangguan Mingyue had found out for the first time that those who practiced martial arts also had their own website, a place for exchange.

After the martial arts conference ended, Shangguan Mingyue came to understand that the world of Martial Artists was so diverse, even beyond the reach of ordinary people, and she became exceptionally excited. It was like she had discovered a new world, highly interested, she constantly pestered Shangguan Dao to tell her more about the world of Martial Artists. Shangguan Dao, his ears almost developing calluses from her questions, accidentally let slip the existence of the underground world’s website. Shangguan Mingyue’s eyes lit up, and she immediately started searching for it.

"So there are so many experts in this world!" Shangguan Mingyue exclaimed in surprise. She had traveled around the world, getting to know various ethnicities and local customs, but it was only now that she realized the world she had seen was just the surface. Beneath what the naked eye of ordinary people could see, there was another world hidden—the world of Martial Artists, a world seldom mentioned by modern people.

It was unfolding every moment, simply inaccessible to ordinary individuals.

Shangguan Mingyue scrolled with her mouse, clicking here and there, and at some point, she stumbled upon the forum, attracted by a name.

"Ye Qiu? Hmm... he’s being pursued?"

Shangguan Mingyue’s expression froze, then showed concern as she clicked on the thread, only to quickly discover that it was clickbait, stating that two formidable individuals had made a move against Ye Qiu and all three had vanished.

Shangguan Mingyue’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately took out her phone to call Ye Qiu.

"Why is it not connecting?" Shangguan Mingyue found that the call wouldn’t go through, and her concern deepened.

"He must be alright." Shangguan Mingyue browsed some more and, in order to verify the authenticity of the information, she went to find Shangguan Dao. It was only after Shangguan Dao followed her to read the posts again that Shangguan Mingyue began to calm down.

"Don’t worry, it seems someone has rescued him, no need to worry for him, this guy is very strong." Shangguan Dao said to comfort Shangguan Mingyue. Though his words were somewhat against his better judgment since he was uncertain whether Ye Qiu was alive or dead, based on his estimation, Ye Qiu shouldn’t have died just like that.

What shocked him most was that in just one month’s time, Ye Qiu had caused such a big stir, even drawing out an SSS-ranked expert. This guy had pulled hatred upon himself from such a high-level expert, which was practically seeking death.

"The Kang De Ji Er clan is not to be trifled with!" Shangguan Dao shook his head internally and could only hope for the best for Ye Qiu.

Meanwhile, the competition for the positions among the Ten Owls had reached its one-month deadline, and all the contenders had returned to China for the final ranking.
