Chapter 565 (2/2)

Yao Qingzun’s body trembled and his eyes filled with disbelief. Even though Xinlei and Xintao were not his direct grandchildren, were unruly and disobedient in nature, they were still members of the Yao Family and could be said as adequately talented juniors of his family.

But now… Had they actually been killed by that damned Tang Xiu?

“Where are you? I’ll immediately send some people there,” asked Yao Qingzun in a heavy tone.

“Grandpa, Tang Xiu mentioned that Dongbei Hu is to come as well. Please, he said that if the Amur Tiger doesn’t come, there’s nothing else for me but to die! Please ask him to come here quickly since many of our family’s men have been killed already. I’m in the Jiabaole Playground in Qiaotou District, in the haunted house.”

Only then did Yao Qingzun’s expression turn horrified. Many of their people had been killed? What did this mean? Others had been killed aside from Yao Xinlei and Yao Xintao?

“Wait there!” Yao Qingzun hung up the phone and looked at Dongbei Hu.

Dongbei Hu had already heard the conversation between Yao Qingzun and Yao Xinhua. He could still hear it clearly despite the very low voice transmitted from the microphone. He could see the pleading look in Yao Qingzun’s eyes as he asked directly, “Is that Tang Xiu a member of the Tang Family?”

Yao Qingzun knew that Dongbei Hu was very powerful, so he nodded and said, “Yes. He’s the most outstanding junior of the Tang Family and has destroyed a lot of my family’s plans.”

“He’s nothing but a brat.” Dongbei Hu shook his head and smilingly said, “Since he mentioned my name and demanded me to go there, then I’ll go to clean him up myself. The Tang Family… they’re really idiots. If it wasn’t for my promise to Tang Guosheng, giving him seven days of time, I would have gone to the Tang Family and would have eradicated them now.”

“The seven days will soon be over.” Yao Qingzun spoke in a deep and heavy voice. “The Tang Family is biting off more than they can chew, so let them continue to be in fear. There’s nothing his family can stir up with your presence here.”

Dongbei Hu was quite pleased with Yao Qingzun’s words and nodded before walking toward the outside along with Yao Chengqing.

Time fleeted by and more than an hour had passed by. Yao Chengqing had arrived at Jiabaole Playground in Qiaotou District along with dozens of the Yao Family’s men and Dongbei Hu. As he stood before the entrance to the haunted house, Yao Chengqing spoke with a respectful expression, “Master Tiger, they are inside. I’ll have to trouble you.”

After smilingly shaking his head and as he was about to enter the haunted house, Dongbei Hu’s keen eyes caught a nearby figure within his sight. He then paused for a moment before his body flashed toward the figure and stood before him in half a second later.

“How can it be you?” Dongbei Hu frowned as he stared at someone in front of him.

A slightly bitter and wry smile appeared on Daoist Xu Yang’s face. He shook his head and raised the jar of wine he had prepared ahead of time, saying, “We have known and contended with each other for a lifetime, yet we never had the intention to mutually kill each other. Speaking of that, we can be said as half friends. You’re going to leave on a journey today, so I came prepared to see you off as a friend. If a next life does exist, then I wish for you to focus your mind your own business later.”

“What the hell do you mean by that, you damned Old Daoist?” Dongbei Hu’s face changed and coldly asked.

“There’s no need for you to ask me. Since you have already come here, I’m afraid it will be very difficult for you to leave. This jar of wine is a liquor I prepared as a service to see you off. Please accept it!”

Though he was jolted and startled inwardly, Dongbei Hu didn’t take the jar but glared at Daoist Xu Yang instead. After a long time, only then did he open his mouth to ask, “Did you have a breakthrough?”

“Yeah.” Daoist Xu Yang nodded.

“Even though you’ve already made a breakthrough, you’re still very far to start comparing notes with me.” Dongbei Hu sneered, “If you really want to support that offspring of the Tang Family, then don’t blame me for not caring about the many years of friendship between us and kill you here today.”

Daoist Xu Yang slightly knitted his brows as he shook his head and said, “You misunderstood me. Since you pointed your blade at the Tang Family, then naturally the members of the Tang Family are the ones who will deal with you. I… I just came to send you off; nothing more, nothing less.”

After staring deeply at Daoist Xu Yang, Dongbei Hu suddenly laughed aloud and said, “Daoist Xu Yang, this joke of yours is so damn funny! This jar of wine shouldn’t be a send off wine, but a celebration wine instead. I originally planned to give the Tang Family some time, but now it seems that they have made their decision already. After I dispose of this chap here, I’ll directly eradicate the Tang Family.”

“You really don’t want to drink it?” Asked Daoist Xu Yang with a moved expression.

“I’ll drink it after I finished with the killing!” The Amur Tiger sneered.

“It seems that my painstaking efforts were only for naught.” Daoist Xu Yang sighed. “You don’t drink this wine at all, then off you go!”

Dongbei Hu sneered outwardly, yet he was careful and cautious inside. As soon as his figure disappeared, he appeared inside the haunted house a few seconds after.

“A thick smell of blood?”

Just as Dongbei Hu set a foot inside he frowned, and the vigilant look on his face turned more intense.
