The most dreaded was Huang Guangyi!
He had personally witnessed Lu Pan kill Zhang Guo, and now he watched Zhang Gan gasp his last breath. He was so terrified his legs trembled, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
"He... how dare he..."
Huang Guangyi cried out in his heart. After all, Zhang Gan was the second-in-command of the Qiulong Society, and the Qiulong Society was just the tip of the iceberg in Qingcheng.
Once the Qiulong Society retaliated, the entire business world of Qingcheng could be shaken.
Lu Pan and Ye Wudao left the Yunshang Auction House one after another, and no one dared to stop them.

Private Room Number Four.
A pair of beautiful eyes watched Lu Pan leave the auction house with surprise.
Only when Lu Pan's figure disappeared from sight did she come back to her senses, muttering softly, "It's him..."
"Xiaoxue, what did you say?" Yun Muy野 retracted his shocked expression and looked at his beloved granddaughter.
"Nothing," Yun Chuxue shook her head, concealing the emotions in her eyes.
After a night of pleasure with Lu Pan, she had tried her best to forget what happened that night.
But Lu Pan's figure was like a brand, making it impossible for her to forget.
Yun Muy野 sighed, saying affectionately, "Xue'er, you've worked hard during the time Grandpa was away."
Yun Chuxue shook her head, her face showing a hint of coldness. "It is my duty to contribute to the Yun family."
Seeing that Yun Chuxue's face held no smile, Yun Muy野 looked remorseful. "Xue'er, Grandpa had no choice. You know the Yun family's situation, please don't blame Grandpa..."
"Grandpa, Xue'er doesn't blame you," Yun Chuxue replied indifferently.
She knew she was the greatest bargaining chip to exchange for benefits with the Nalan family and the Lu family.
Only then did Yun Muy野 show a hint of a smile, gratified. "Xue'er, many people covet Grandpa's position. You only have a chance if you marry into the Lu family or the Nalan family..."
"Grandpa..." Yun Chuxue looked at the grandfather she had respected since childhood and suddenly showed a smile.
Yun Muy野 felt a bad premonition.
"If... I told you that I lost my first night... do you think the Lu family or the Nalan family would accept me?"
Yun Muy野 looked at Yun Chuxue in utter shock!
He knew his granddaughter very well; she had kept men at a distance since she was young and had never dated.
"Absolutely impossible!" Yun Muy野 did not believe her at all. "Xue'er, please don't joke about your chastity with Grandpa."
Yun Chuxue chuckled lightly, "I'm just saying, what if..."
Yun Muy野 did not speak.
Yun Chuxue already knew the answer: the Yun family had no way out.
"Grandpa, at the chamber of commerce banquet tomorrow night, I will choose one between Lu Hao and Nalan Wuye."
After speaking, Yun Chuxue turned and left the private room.

Jicheng, Qi Family.
Xu Zichuan, whose limbs had been crippled, was carried back to the Qi family. The entire Qi family was enveloped in terrifying rage.
Qi Sisi, a woman with a voluptuous figure, looked at her husband with a terrifying coldness on her face.
"Dad, no matter who crippled Zichuan, I will make him die!" Qi Sisi gritted her teeth, her voice devoid of any emotion.
"Sisi, Zichuan is crippled. Dad will find you another good man..." Qi Jinsheng, however, did not seem angry and comforted his precious daughter.
"Even if I find another man, Zichuan's revenge must be taken," Qi Sisi replied coldly. "The man of Qi Sisi can only die by my hand!"
"Good, good, good!" Qi Jinsheng smiled and comforted his precious daughter. "I will send someone to Qingcheng right away to see who dares to touch your man!"

Qingcheng, Lu Family.
Lu Yuansen looked at Lu Hao, who had one arm crippled, his gaze as dark as water.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Lu Yuansen stared at Xu Laifu, exuding a terrifying aura that made the latter tremble.
"Reporting to Grandpa... it was Young Master Pan..." Xu Laifu reported everything that happened at the Yunshang Auction House to Lu Yuansen.
"Dad, I want to make him wish he were dead!" Lu Hao endured the pain, his eyes filled with hatred for Lu Pan.
Growing up, he had been the crown prince of Qingcheng. No one had ever dared to refuse him, let alone lay a hand on him!
Lu Pan was the first. He wanted to make him wish he were dead!
The hall fell silent. After a long time, Lu Yuansen raised his eyes and asked Xu Laifu, "Are you sure it was... that bastard?"
Thinking of Lu Pan's cold eyes, Xu Laifu trembled in his heart, "Master, those eyes... they are exactly the same as when he was a child. There's no mistake..."
Upon receiving Xu Laifu's affirmative answer, a sinister smile appeared on Lu Yuansen's lips. "Heh heh... Back then... he was saved by that dog servant, and his body was never found... It turns out he's still alive!"
"It seems the incident at the ancestral home a few days ago was also done by him," Lu Yuansen's gaze turned grim. "However... since he's back, how can I, his uncle, not extend the hospitality of a host!"
Lu Hao endured the pain, looking at his father with some disbelief. "Dad, what do you mean? Do you really want him to return to the Lu family?"
Lu Yuansen snorted coldly, "Return to the Lu family? That depends on whether he has the ability!"
"Then why?" Lu Hao was puzzled.
"The item the old immortal gave Grandpa back then is still missing. I suspect it has something to do with this little bastard!" Lu Yuansen replied.
"What is that thing? You've been looking for so many years, perhaps it doesn't even exist..."
Lu Yuansen shook his head. "I personally saw the old immortal give a box to Grandpa... In short, since that little bastard is back, he is currently the only clue!!"
Lu Yuansen frowned as he looked at Lu Hao's injury. "The sect master of the Great Ape Sect, Yuan, will arrive late tonight. I'll have him take a look at your arm then."
Lu Hao's face lit up with joy. He had heard that the sect master of the Great Ape Sect had the strength of the peak of Dark Energy. With his help, his arm would surely recover.
Late at night.
Zifeng Courtyard.
A middle-aged man in a black suit appeared outside the courtyard.
He knelt on both knees, kowtowed three times to the Zifeng Courtyard, and then said with great excitement, "The seventh-generation sect master of the Great Ape Sect, Yuan Pu, pays his respects to the Supreme Master!"
The Supreme Master is the supreme ruler of the Hua Xia Supreme Alliance and the universally recognized strongest individual.
However, no one has ever seen his true strength!
But—
One hundred and twenty years ago, the Grandmasters of the nineteen countries of Dongyi, Nanyang, Xihai, and Beijiang challenged Hua Xia, and the Supreme Master repelled the enemy single-handedly!!
Since then, the Supreme Order has been the supreme symbol of the martial arts world!
However, not all sects are qualified to join the Supreme Alliance.
The Great Ape Sect joined the Supreme Alliance by chance at that time, which is how it gained its current strength.
As soon as Yuan Pu stepped into Qingcheng, he discovered the Supreme Order.
He did not dare to delay at all. After tracking it down, he rushed directly to the Zifeng Courtyard. Looking at the simple Supreme Order pattern on the door, he knelt and bowed!
"Yuan Pu, you colluded with the Jicheng Governor's Office and embezzled six hundred million. Do you confess?"
Lu Pan's indifferent voice came from inside the courtyard.
Hearing this, Yuan Pu broke out in a cold sweat and dared not conceal anything.
"Yuan Pu confesses his guilt..."
"Six hundred million to be handed over to the national treasury, plus a fine of four hundred million. Do you object?"
In the courtyard, Lu Pan flipped through the scroll in his hand, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.
"Yuan Pu dares not!"
Even through the door, Yuan Pu could feel the supreme pressure emanating from Lu Pan.
It was as if with a single thought from Lu Pan, his life and death could be decided.
