276 Bloodhunter (2/2)

It had an out-of-time quality to it, as if it had captured the essence of the world thousands of years ago and preserved it there. With blue bricks and black tiles, all the houses were built close to the ground with jade carvings laid upon them as beautiful decorations.

While the exterior's aesthetic was antique, the interior was very luxurious and there were electronic products left and right.

Around this time, everyone in the Xue household's communicators flashed blood-red as a beeping sound was heard.

Their faces fell when they looked at their communicators.

”The son of the seventh generation, Xue Yuan, has been slain!”

”Attendant, Zhang Wen, has been slain!”

Everyone was shocked by the news. This message was naturally based on the pulse of Xue Yuan's hand that wore the communicator. If the communicator was lost or damaged, it would be impossible to send this message.

This would have only been sent if he really did lose his life.

Xue Yuan's father was the first one to go mad.

”How is this possible? Xiao Yuan was only gone for two days, how could he have died? This must be a malfunction! And Zhang Wen, where is he? Piece of trash!”

Xue Linhan roared.

The Xue family was an ancient martial arts family, and perhaps it could be considered to be in its late degenerate stage as it could no longer live in seclusion.

But they were definitely part of the top ones among the Four Cities of the North Sea. The families in Chengyang might seem very bullish or overbearing, but when compared to the Xue family they might as well be on their knees!

The old patriarch of the Xue family was still on his retreat and was a C-tier ancient warrior. Now, the acting patriarch was a D-tier ancient warrior and one of the Xue family's elders. The other elders were also D-tier as well, having exactly seven of them.

Seven D-tiers, there were not that many in the Three Cities along the Sun and this was just a small family, which showed how powerful the family was!

Of course, Xue Linhan was not an elder and was of the sixth generation. He was still strong but the family's resources were inclined toward the younger generation and a person's aptitude was limited. Once you have reached middle age, it was harder to go forward.

Especially for ancient warriors!

Some people would never touch the edge of D-tier for an entire lifetime.

Xue Linhan was at E8-tier, and it would take him about five to six years before he could reach D-tier! However, what made him proud was his genius son.

Someone with natural talent, and would soon surpass him. Who could have known that a trip to the Battlegod Tomb, along with a bodyguard no less, would have ended up in such a tragedy?

”Thirteenth Elder, please don't get angry!”

A servant looked at Xue Linhan's fit of anger and was worried that the man would get so enraged that he would just go insane. How would Xue Linhan have listened to something like that?

”My son is gone. My son is gone, and you want me to not get angry? Leave!” Xue Linhan proceeded to backhand the servant across the cheek.

The force of an E-tier ancient warrior cracking a blow was enough to make the servant's neck make a crunching sound as it broke, sending the body tumbling into the wall. Nobody was sure if the person died on impact or before.

”Aaaah!” Xue Linhan flipped his table soon after.

The other servants were scared for their lives and could only try to avoid their master's immediate rampage. They were also terrified that Xue Linhan would kill everyone.

One brave soul peeped out from behind a fallen bookcase and meekly said, ”Milord, now the most important thing is to find the murderer and avenge Young Master's death!”

After hearing these words, Xue Linhan finally regained his senses.

He quickly clicked on a video on his communicator. It was a feed from Xue Yuan's communicator and it naturally showed him the last thing his son saw before he was fatally wounded.

Qin Feng was standing directly opposite Xue Yuan, it revealed that Xue Yuan was injured as the hand that wore the communicator was grabbing Qin Feng's wrist.

Qin Feng's body could be clearly seen from the video. It was just a black cloak, a standard combat uniform and a pale mask. Even the parts where the eyes were had special lenses where the eyes could not be seen!

This kind of enemy left no clues!

Also, some life advice. Don't tell someone who's angry to calm down, that doesn't work.
