ood!" Zhao Yuehua nodded vigorously.He lifted his teacup, took a sip, and then gazed ahead, speaking softly but with an air of determination: “No matter who you are, if you dare to challenge the Zhao......

"As for who exactly, I don't know either..." Zhao Yuehua shook his head.

"I only know that the other party is a woman, and she always wears a veil when she meets us."

"I could feel that she must have been a very beautiful woman. Every move she made could arouse the desire of most men."

"Just this" Ling Hao opened his mouth in a deep voice: "If it's just this information, it's not enough to exchange for the lives of so many people from your Zhao family!"

"I... I haven't finished yet." Zhao Yuehua paused slightly before continuing, "By chance, I saw that there was a tattoo on her back."

"What pattern" Ling Hao asked.

“It is... a blood-red peony!” Zhao Yuehua responded.

"What is their purpose" Ling Hao frowned again.

"She... she didn't say, she just told us to go ahead and do it, that she would send people to help us." Zhao Yuehua shook his head slightly.

And repeatedly stressed that all members of the Zheng family must be eliminated without exception!

"Actually, if it weren't for her, I...we wouldn't have been so ruthless. Our target was only the head of the Zheng family and the powerful individual beside him."

"As long as the two of them are dead, the Zheng family will pose no threat to us. The rest of them aren't even worth our attention..."

Whew!

A surge of cold intent erupted from Ling Hao, his eyes condensing into sharp points.

The entire population of Zheng's family, numbering in the hundreds, was slaughtered. What kind of person would commit such a massacre!

"I... I only know this much. Please, leave a wisp of incense for the Zhao family..." Zhao Yuehua spoke in a trembling voice.

"By tomorrow morning at 8 am, bring all your Zhao family's direct blood relatives to Zheng Family Patriarch's tomb and kowtow!" Ling Hao's words echoed once again.

"You three brothers committed suicide at the tombstone to apologize, and the rest of the Zhao family knelt for three days and three nights. I let them live!"

You can also choose to run away tonight, but the consequence is that if even one Zhao family direct blood relative doesn't show up tomorrow morning, everyone else will die!

"Thank you... thank you..." Zhao Yuehua collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down his face.

"The rest is up to you!" Ling Hao then looked at the judge.

"Tell everyone here that, regarding today's events, we will all maintain a consistent story and state publicly that it was handled by the Shadow Gate. Anyone who is not involved should be told to mind their own business!"

Whoever leaks, behead!

"

‘Received!’ the Judge nodded vigorously.

"

A few minutes later, Ling Hao and Lu Yue got into the car.

"Investigate!" Ling Hao said in a deep voice. "Have someone look into it immediately. What kind of woman is the one Zhao Yuehua mentioned"

"Understood!" Lu Yue nodded in response.

Meanwhile.

The other two prominent families in Dongzhou, the Tao family and the Wang family, were also going through the same situation.

Two other groups of young men from the shadow clans arrived. Both families initially put up a fierce resistance.

But, in the face of hundreds of handsome young men, their resistance seemed so pale.

In less than three minutes, all the able-bodied members of both families were either dead or disabled!

Finally, Ying Men'erlang left with the same three sentences and turned to leave.

Thus, the top three influential families in Dongzhou officially became a part of Dongzhou's history.

Three great families' members never figured out one thing until they died.

Why would the high-ranking Ling Shuai come to avenge the Zheng family, what is his relationship with them!

For this question, they can only go ask Liu Jiayao!

……

The next morning, the news that the three great families had been overthrown overnight spread through Dongzhou like a virus.

No one believed the news when they first heard it!

What kind of international joke is this!

The Three Great Families have been operating in Dongzhou for a century, wielding immense influence in both the black and white worlds. Moreover, the Three Great Families themselves possess formidable combat power!

I ask, in this Eastern Continent, who has the strength and power to bring down the three great families in a single night!

Even Shen Yue, the chairman of the Sihai Group and arguably the most influential person in Dongzhou today, would likely find this difficult!

Subsequently, someone uploaded the real-life photos of the three prominent families' courtyards this morning onto the internet. After seeing the devastated ground and the deserted courtyard, everyone believed the rumor.

The fall of the three major families overnight is actually true!!!

Next, everyone's curiosity shifted to another topic.

What happened! Who did this!

Thus, the Eight Immortals each displayed their magical powers as they crossed the sea, and all factions were using their own channels to inquire about the relevant information.

Finally, all channels gathered information surprisingly aligned.

Shadow Gate Case, keep out of sight. This matter has been classified as top secret and is not to be inquired about. Anyone attempting to pry into the secrets of Shadow Gate will be considered an individual seeking to expose confidential information!

After receiving this reply, most people quickly put away their curiosity. The majesty of the Shadow Gate is not something that ordinary people dare to provoke!

Of course, many others are also inquiring privately, especially people from other prominent families in Dongzhou.

After much investigation, they all came up with a hypothesis.

Five years ago, the three great families joined forces to exterminate the Zheng family. Now, someone from Yingmen has come forward to avenge the Zheng family!

10:00 AM.

The Eastern Sea underworld king, Yuan Xiong, sat at his desk in his office, a cigar between his fingers as he pondered.

The three prominent families of Dongzhou were overthrown overnight. Such a major event was enough to cause him deep contemplation.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In a short while, footsteps sounded, and Hou Ying strode in.

"Well, any results yet" Yuan Xiong looked at Hou Ying and asked.

"Regarding Eighth Master's words, I have confirmed it. It was indeed done by Young Master Ling!" Hou Ying said solemnly.

"As expected!" Yuan Xiong nodded.

Only Ling Shao could have such strength, eliminating the three major families from Dongzhou overnight!

After taking a puff of his cigar, he continued.

"Not only did Ling Shao bring down the three great families, but he didn't even spare Liu Jiayao. Coupled with what happened to the Li family, all of this can't be a coincidence!"

"It seems that Young Master Ling's relationship with the Zheng family is definitely extraordinary!"

"Master Eight, I have looked over the Zheng family's records from back then," Hou Ying paused briefly before continuing.

"Ling Shao, he's at least six or seven points similar to the adopted son of Zheng family's head back then!"

"Oh Really" Yuan Xiong raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm!" Hou Ying nodded.

"It seems like it's true then, Ling Shao was probably saved once back in the day and is now here for revenge!" Yuan Xiong exhaled a ring of smoke.

Then, a thoughtful expression: “Five years ago, what happened that would cause the three great families to attack the Zheng family so ruthlessly!”

"It's a pity that I wasn't in this position back then, otherwise, perhaps I could have gained some insights!"

"It is said that the Zheng family's suppression of the three major families was too severe, causing resentment among them." Hou Ying replied.

"It shouldn't be this easy!" Yuan Xiong shook his head slightly.

If it were only because the suppression was severe, the three major families shouldn't have exterminated the Zheng family!!" Ling Hao spoke again.I gave her a chance because I felt she wasn't beyond saving and didn't have too much of the typical spoiled rich girl attitude. Compared to some other young people from promine...
