The commotion around Xiao Yufan naturally drew the attention of many, but following the principle of minding their own business, no one chose to interfere.
“Are you going to let go or not? If you don’t, I swear I’ll call for backup! Let me tell you, my cousin is part of the Dark Sect. If you know what’s good for you, you’d better let me go, or I’ll make sure you crawl off this mountain!”
Seeing that Qinglong showed no intention of releasing him, the young thug grew increasingly annoyed. If persuasion wouldn’t work, then he’d have to resort to threats. He was confident that hearing the name of the Dark Sect would make these two think twice before laying a hand on him.
“He said his cousin is part of the Dark Sect…”
Qinglong’s smile turned peculiar. The young master of the Dark Sect was right here—how could he possibly fear this so-called cousin?
“Oh, he wants to call for backup? Let him make the call!”
Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly. He almost felt sorry for the poor fool. If the thug insisted on calling for help, then Xiao Yufan would be more than happy to oblige.
Sure enough, upon hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, Qinglong loosened his grip. The thug hesitated slightly before dialing his cousin’s number. Someone had to help him get revenge for this humiliation.
“Hey cousin, we’re being bullied up on Yaoshan. There are two guys here, both very strong, and they started it first…”
He twisted the truth as he spoke, thinking to himself that once his cousin arrived, those two would soon regret their actions. Although he only had a superficial understanding of the Dark Sect’s power, it was enough to earn his admiration. He had even tried every means possible to join the sect.
“My cousin wants to talk to you…”
Two minutes later, the thug approached Xiao Yufan with an air of arrogance, smugly confident in his cousin’s protection. It was precisely because of his cousin that he had managed to carve out a reputation in this area.
Xiao Yufan didn’t refuse. He simply took the phone.
“Whoever you are, apologize to my cousin immediately, or I’ll send people over there—trust me, you won’t like it!”
The voice from the other end of the line was dark and menacing. It was clear they were close. However, such a threat had absolutely no effect on Xiao Yufan.
“Which hall are you from? The Hall of Assassins or the Tiger Hall?”
“Who are you? How do you know so much about the Dark Sect?” The man on the phone finally took notice. How could an outsider know so much about the sect?
“Talk! Or I can’t guarantee you’ll survive the day…”
Xiao Yufan was furious. If outsiders used the Dark Sect’s name to bully people, what would others think of the sect? He would never allow such a thing to continue.
“I’m from Shadow Hall, under Brother Wei!”
The man shuddered, nearly dropping the phone. The voice alone radiated a killing intent. He had no idea who this person was, and cold sweat dripped down his face.
“Good. You’ve just earned yourself another day of life.”
“Who exactly are you?”
“Xiao Yufan!” A slight smile curled Xiao Yufan’s lips. He didn’t say more, confident that no one in the Dark Sect could be unaware of his existence.
“Ah!” The man on the other end inhaled sharply, instantly rising from his seat. From the moment he joined the Dark Sect, the name Xiao Yufan had been etched into his heart—it was the name of a god in the hearts of every member of the Dark Sect.
“Let your cousin handle his own mess!”
Before the man could speak again, Xiao Yufan handed the phone back to the thug. The moment the thug took the phone, he nearly collapsed to his knees. The young master of the Dark Sect—how could he have imagined that this man was the legendary figure everyone revered?
From the thug’s expression, Qinglong already knew what had happened. At that moment, Xiao Yufan’s phone rang…
“Boss, come back quickly! Qingluan has been kidnapped!”
Tianxuan’s voice was urgent. Xiao Yufan could sense her panic, and his heart clenched involuntarily—Qingluan had actually been taken!
“I’ll be back soon. Wait for me…”
Frowning, Xiao Yufan understood Tianxuan’s strength. For Qingluan to be captured right under her nose, the enemy must have come prepared. If he wasn’t mistaken, it must have been Chen Jiamin’s doing.
“What happened?” Qinglong also sensed something was wrong, his expression stiffening slightly.
“He must have touched my woman. I think whether I can fulfill my promise to you depends on whether he’s ready to die!”
A woman was Xiao Yufan’s most sensitive nerve—no harm would ever come to any of his women. Whoever dared to hurt them would pay dearly.
Without sparing the stunned thug another glance, Xiao Yufan and Qinglong quickly left Yaoshan…
At this moment, outside the villa in Linjiang, Tianxuan was locked in a tense standoff with two men and a woman. One of the men was already covered in blood, his expression twisted with rage, while the woman held Qingluan hostage.
“The local tyrant of Shanxi, I never thought you’d resort to such underhanded tactics. I guarantee that if you harm her, you won’t leave here alive!”
Tianxuan’s gaze was icy cold. Earlier, one of the men had distracted her, allowing the woman to approach Qingluan and seize her. She felt a pang of guilt. In this moment, she was reverting to her old self—the cold and calculating Tianxuan of the Tian Team.
“If I’m already here, I never intended to leave alive. If I can take such a beautiful woman with me in death, I’d be more than happy!”
Chen Jiamin’s face twitched violently. Thinking of his crippled brother, Qinglong’s departure, and the death of Gulong, he was consumed by hatred. He only wanted Xiao Yufan to suffer, and at this point, he no longer cared what methods he used.
“Boss will be back soon. I hope you can still laugh when he arrives…”
Tianxuan was confident she could instantly kill one of them, but she couldn’t risk Qingluan’s safety. The woman beside Chen Jiamin was likely Huofeng!
“I’ll make him kneel and beg me…”
Chen Jiamin was growing increasingly unhinged, completely ignoring Tianxuan’s threat. As the self-proclaimed tyrant of Shanxi, he had his pride. However, before any battle had even begun, Xiao Yufan had already crushed that pride, leaving him twisted and desperate.
“He’s a madman!” Tianxuan thought to herself, even more cautious of her next move. Qingluan, held tightly by Huofeng, simply frowned, saying nothing.
But soon, a sharp glint appeared in Qingluan’s eyes—Xiao Yufan had arrived. In contrast, Chen Jiamin and the man and woman beside him grew alert…
