An hour later.

Inside the Xue family compound.

More than a dozen corpses covered with white sheets lay on the ground.

At that moment, a group of people filed in.

The two elderly men simply nodded to the family head, Xue Yuanlong, while the remaining middle-aged men and women bowed to him.

"Yuanlong, why did you call us two old folks here? Something big has happened at home!" asked the older of the two old men.

His name is Xue Shiwei, the most senior member of the Xue family. He is eighty-four years old and has reached the peak of the Transformation Realm. He has been publicly declared dead, which is a trump card that the Xue family has deliberately hidden.

The other old man was named Xue Kanglai, who was a generation older than the Xue Yuanlong and Xue Yuanbing brothers. He was also a master in the late stage of the Transformation Realm, and on the surface, he was the number one master in the Xue family.

"Old man, please take a look at these corpses!"

Xue Yuanlong said in a deep voice, and then ordered his men to remove all the white cloths covering the corpses on the ground.

"this?"

When Xue Shiwei's gaze swept over the dozen or so corpses, a glint of light flashed in his cloudy old eyes. He squatted down and examined them carefully, even touching their wounds with his fingers.

He then frowned and pondered for a moment before looking at Xue Yuanlong: "Yuanlong, what kind of weapon was used to inflict these wounds on the dead?"

Xue Yuanlong shook his head: "To be honest, I don't know either. What insights does the old man have?"

Xue Shiwei pondered and said, "Their wounds all have one thing in common: they have been burned by high temperatures. But judging from the wounds, they seem to have been caused by firearms. I can't think of any kind of firearm that could cause such wounds for the time being!"

"Could it be a laser gun?!"

A high-ranking member of the Xue family shouted.

"impossible!"

Xue Yuanbing sneered, "Laser has existed for a long time, but laser guns are just something from science fiction movies. Even the United States could not possibly manufacture a laser gun with such power!"

Many people nodded subconsciously. The Xue family was in the machinery business, and most of the people present had some understanding of machinery. Laser guns were just fictional devices; with the current technology of the world, they simply couldn't be manufactured!

"Yuanlong, who are these people?"

Xue Shiwei's gaze fell on Takahashi Shoichiro's corpse: "If I'm not mistaken, this man was also a master of internal energy transformation in his lifetime!"

Xue Yuanlong explained, "Grandpa, these people are all from the Takahashi family in Japan. The one you mentioned is named Takahashi Shoichiro. Before he died, he had already reached the late stage of the Transformation Realm. And this Japanese woman is his disciple. Although she is only at the peak of the Dark Realm, she has superhuman strength and can defeat a martial artist at the early stage of the Transformation Realm!"

"Who killed them?" Xue Shiwei asked, frowning.

"It must have been done by the Poisonous Widow Tu Yun!" Xue Yuanlong said.

"I know this little girl!"

Xue Shiwei nodded: "The Zhao family was stronger than our Xue family back then. It's a pity that the younger generation died before they could grow up. It's a bit of a shame about that Dan Jin from the Zhao family. With her strength, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to kill those two!"

"Could it be Elder Jiang?" Xue Yuanlong asked tentatively.

"Won't!"

Xue Shiwei said with certainty, "Although my strength is not as good as Jiang Yanwang's, we are of the same generation. The reason why Jiang Yanwang helped Tu Yun in the first place was because Tu Yun was the descendant of an old friend of his. Over the years, Tu Yun has often used Jiang Yanwang's name, but the relationship has become weaker with each use. If someone wants to kill Tu Yun, Jiang Yanwang may intervene, but he will definitely not help her kill anyone!"

"If it's not Jiang Yanwang, then this poisonous widow Tu Yun is more powerful than we imagined. Her sending us to collect the corpses is clearly a ploy to make an example of someone!"

At this point, Xue Yuanlong's face turned extremely ugly.

"Hmph, how dare a mere woman threaten our Xue family! Brother, why don't we destroy her Tianyun Club and drive her people out of Nanze!" Xue Yuanbing roared.

"No!"

Xue Shiwei shouted, "Tu Yun didn't object to Jiang Yanwang using his name, which means he approves of it. This is also why Tu Yun has been able to open Tianyun Clubs in various places without any obstacles over the years. If we directly attack Tianyun Clubs, we will definitely offend Jiang Yanwang. The face of a Dan Jin master is not so easy to offend!"

"good!"

Xue Yuanlong nodded in agreement: "What the old man said makes sense. Although Tu Yun asked us to collect the body, it was meant to make an example of her, but in reality, she didn't want to turn against us. By the way, Second Brother, do you know where Tu Yun's men are being held?"

"I know!" Xue Yuanbing nodded in response.

"Alright, send men to rescue them!"

Xue Yuanlong instructed, "Then send someone to contact Tu Yun again to see if we can resolve this grudge!"

"Yuan Long handled it well!"

Xue Shiwei agreed, saying, "We've long since moved beyond the era of fighting and killing. Although our Xue family is a martial arts family, we're also a business family. If we can talk, we should try to avoid violence!"

An hour later.

Tianyun Club.

Xiao Die rushed over and reported, "Madam, all of Nan Ze's intelligence agents, except for Zhou Ying, have successfully escaped and made contact with us. At the same time, the Xue family also called, hoping to find a time to talk to you!"

Upon hearing this, Tu Yun was initially delighted, but then her expression turned cold: "Zhou Ying has most likely met with an accident. Find a way to find her body and give her a proper burial. Also, send someone to comfort her family and provide them with 10 million yuan in compensation!"

"Yes, Madam!"

Xiao Die accepted the order and left.

Then Tu Yun looked at Gao Yan gratefully: "Brother, I was able to get through this smoothly thanks to you. Thank you!"
