"Judge, are you itching for a fight" Chui Hun responded angrily.

"I can't do it, but Qinglong brother can! I can ask Qinglong brother to take action. Just ten thousand Blood Shadow Warriors are enough to flatten Miaojiang!"

Although Miaojiang is indeed very sinister, it's probably very difficult to succeed relying solely on the Shadow Sect. But if we deploy the Blood Shadow Team, it would be a done deal in minutes!

The two most fearsome things in Miaojiang are poison and insects, everything else, including martial arts prowess, is just mediocre.

And within the hundred-thousand-strong Blood Shadow Legion, there were countless prodigies and eccentrics. Those skilled in poison and insects could be found everywhere.

Moreover, there are people from the Xuanmen sect within the Xi Jing medical group, and many in the Xuanmen are considered grandmasters of poisons within the land!

"Well, when it comes to thick skin, nobody beats you!" The judge shrugged.

"Alright!" Ling Hao waved his hand. "Get to work!"

"Received!" The five people nodded simultaneously.

With Ling Hao's order issued, all the Shadow Gate disciples from the four major districts besides the East District were put into action.

Central Plains, the core city of Daxia Nation's central region, has been a strategic location coveted by military powers since ancient times!

Just the day after Ling Hao gave his orders, three thousand disciples of Yingmen gathered and headed for a grand estate in the southern part of Zhongzhou City.

The master of the estate was a Marquis, a heavyweight figure in Zhongzhou, with intricate connections to all factions within.

In his everyday life, he was always surrounded by people wherever he went. Even when facing the imposing figure of Zhongzhou Yun, his expression remained calm and composed.

That day, the Marquis was receiving a distinguished guest in the grand hall of his villa on the estate. The visitor was an important figure from the Central Zone War Department.

"General Cheng's esteemed presence truly brightens our humble abode!" The Marquis presented a cup of freshly brewed tea to the General.

"Commander Cheng, this old man just had someone bring me a bit of Mother Tree Big Red Robe tea. Please try it and tell me what you think."

The Marquis lowered his posture, he was very clear about the energy of this big shot in front of him.

Not only is he incredibly skilled, but he also holds a position of power and influence, which would definitely warrant his attention.

"Hee hee, Your Lordship is too kind. It is my honor to be invited by Your Lordship," said the man named Cheng Ming as he took the teacup and smiled.

“General Cheng, your words are too kind! To have the honor of hosting a great figure like you is a blessing for me in three lifetimes!” The Marquis replied with a smile.

After a slight pause, he continued, "How is the commander-in-chief doing lately I heard a few days ago that he went to the capital. Should things there be settled by now"

"Done!" Cheng Ming smiled faintly. "It seems the Marquis is very interested in affairs of the capital city"

"Haha, General Cheng is joking. I'm just a small person, how could I possibly be concerned with matters in the capital I can barely keep up with the trivial affairs here in Zhongzhou!" The Marquis chuckled in response after a slight pause.

"The Lord is too humble." Cheng Ming smiled and then changed the subject: "Lord, about that funding you mentioned last time, have there been any developments"

"General Cheng, please rest assured. I've already made the preparations. Just give the word, and I'll transfer the funds immediately." The Marquis raised his teacup and took a sip.

"Haha, then many thanks to the Lord!" Cheng Ming smiled again.

"As it should be!" the Marquis responded with a smile.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded, and a middle-aged man who looked like a manager walked in with an ashen face.

"Behave yourself!" The lord's face darkened. "Didn't you see I was receiving guests"

"Master Hou, something has happened!" the steward trembled.

"So flustered, what decorum!" The Marquis's voice was stiff. "What's the matter"

"The Azure Wolf led three thousand Shadow Gate disciples into the manor. Our people couldn't stop them at all." The steward replied, swallowing hard.

"Well!" A chill emanated from the Marquis: "What brings the people of Yingmen to my doorstep"

As he spoke, a flash of something unusual darted from the depths of his eyes.

"He didn't say anything else, just said that Lord Hou must go see him within five minutes, or he would flatten the estate." The steward spoke with difficulty.

"Presumptuous!" The Marquis roared, "Who gave him the audacity of a wolf to come here and flaunt his power!"

After finishing, he looked at Cheng Ming: "Chief Cheng, I'm really sorry for disturbing you. Would you like me to invite Chief Cheng over another day"

"Let's go take a look together. I want to see what Yingmen wants here too!" Cheng Ming said, then got up and walked toward the door.

"That's excellent, thank you, Lord Cheng!" The Marquis' eyes narrowed slightly. This was naturally exactly the result he wanted.

In a short while, a group of people arrived at the square in front of the courtyard gate. Cheng Ming was followed by forty or fifty men in military attire.

At the same time, two or three hundred men in black rushed out from all directions within the courtyard, each with a menacing look on their faces, clearly not ordinary martial artists.

"Azure Wolf brethren, with such a grand display of force, I wonder what momentous occasion brings you here" The Marquis's eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at Azure Wolf, his voice a low rumble.

Prior to this, he had repeatedly conveyed his intentions of alliance to the Azure Wolf and humbled himself considerably.

But Cang Lang always pretended not to see him, completely ignoring him as a major figure from the Eastern Continent.

Not only that, but the Shadow Gate people also raided one of his gold-laden nightclubs. At the time, it was because two fugitives were hiding in his venue and had committed a crime, raping and killing a hostess.

For this, he had personally called Canglang, hoping Canglang could make a big deal out of a small deal.

But the grey wolf didn't wait for him to finish speaking before hanging up the phone. He then led his men to surround the nightclub, arresting a hundred people before things calmed down.

After that incident, relations between the two sides plummeted to freezing point and there has been no further contact.

"Take it away!"

The Azure Wolf didn't bother talking to him, just raised his hand and waved it.

Wow!

Hearing his words, all the young men of the Three Thousand Shadow Gate moved simultaneously, surrounding the Marquis's people completely.

"Presumptuous!" The Marquis said in a deep voice, looking at Cang Lang and angrily roared.

"Azure Wolf, I respect you as a man, but that doesn't mean I fear you. You better not push your luck!"

He didn't expect the Azure Wolf to say such a thing as soon as he opened his mouth. It really made him furious. No matter what, he was a prominent figure in Zhongzhou, and he was treated like this It was simply too disrespectful.

"What are you still standing there for, get to it!" Canglang didn't even look at him, and continued in a low voice: "Anyone who obstructs the Shadow Gate's business is considered an enemy, kill them where they stand!"

"As you command!" The three thousand disciples of Yingmen shouted in unison.

Then, it's time to make a move.

"Stop!"

Cheng Ming shouted loudly, and at the same time, a powerful aura emanated from him.

A powerful warrior who has achieved the realm of God of War!

Those around instantly felt a sense of suffocation, and involuntarily shivered.

While the Marquis's lips curled into a slight upward turn, he thought to himself, "With this person here, no matter what reason the Shadow Gate has for coming today, they are destined to return empty-handed!"o and spoke in a trembling voice."You...you're injured, yet you can still wield the power of a late-stage War God. It's...impossible! Did you already break through to the Venerable Realm"In the path o...
