Say it again!

He grabbed the young disciple by the collar and shouted sternly.

"The Xue...the Xue family...was really wiped out...not a single survivor was left..."

The young disciple trembled with fear at Lin Mang's imposing presence, and his voice even changed tone.

Lin Mang slowly released his grip, a flash of pain and anger in his eyes.

Xue Anzhi was his junior apprentice for many years and also an important pawn in his game.

Over the years, Xue Anzhi has been collecting cultivation resources for him and has provided a lot of help.

Now that Xue Anzhi is dead and the Xue family has been wiped out, it is undoubtedly like cutting off one of his arms.

"Who is it?!"

Lin Mang asked through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

His fists were clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh.

"I...I don't know..."

The young disciple shook his head, indicating that he knew nothing about it.

"waste!"

Lin Mang cursed angrily and kicked the young disciple to the ground.

"Get out!"

The young disciple scrambled out of the cave.

Lin Mang took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.

He knew that now was not the time to lose his temper; the most urgent task was to find out the truth of the matter.

"Someone come here!"

Lin Mang shouted towards the outside of the cave.

"exist!"

A man in black appeared at the entrance of the cave like a ghost, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully.

"Investigate! Find out the truth behind the annihilation of the Xue family! I need to know who killed Xue Anzhi!"

Lin Mang said coldly, his voice filled with murderous intent.

"yes!"

The man in black accepted the order and left.

Lin Mang paced back and forth in the cave, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

He couldn't understand who had the audacity to target the Xue family.

Moreover, their methods were so cruel that they didn't leave a single survivor.

"Could it be... those guys?"

Lin Mang suddenly thought of something, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

The "those guys" he was referring to were several sects that were hostile to the Qiankun Sect.

However, he quickly shook his head.

"Impossible...they don't have that kind of strength..."

Although those sects were enemies of the Qiankun Sect, their strengths were roughly equal, and none of them had the ability to destroy the Xue family.

"Could it be... some reclusive old monster?"

Lin Mang then thought of another possibility.

In the cultivation world, there are some old monsters who are powerful, have eccentric personalities, and act entirely according to their whims.

If that's the case, then it's troublesome.

Just as Lin Mang was racking his brains trying to figure it out, an elder came to his cave.

"Lin Mang, the sect leader has ordered you to come out of the mountain."

"The elder said."

"Leave the mountain?"

Lin Mang was taken aback, then asked, "Elder, is it about the Xue family?"

"It's not just the Xue family."

The elder shook his head, his expression grave.

“Previously, Wang Zhi was ordered to come out of seclusion to investigate a matter, but he lost contact and his fate remains unknown.”

"The sect leader suspects that Wang Zhi may have met with misfortune."

"I'm sending you out of seclusion for two reasons: first, to investigate the truth behind the Xue family's annihilation, and second, to find out Wang Zhi's whereabouts."

"If Wang Zhi is really dead, you must avenge him."

Lin Mang nodded, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Elder, I will definitely get to the bottom of this!"

"Furthermore, the sect leader suspects that this matter is related to Qin Yang, who has been making waves recently."

"That young man named Qin Yang is said to be exceptionally strong and ruthless. It is very likely that he killed Wang Zhi."

The elder added.

"Qin Yang?"

Lin Mang frowned slightly; it was the first time he had ever heard of this name.

"What is this person's background?"

He asked.

"I don't know, I only know that he rose to prominence suddenly, acted arrogantly and domineeringly, and offended a lot of people."

"The sect leader means that you should investigate this person as well, and if he is really involved in this matter, then get rid of him."

"The elder said."

"Okay, I understand."

Lin Mang nodded, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"Elder, there is still one thing I don't understand."

Lin Mang suddenly asked.

"Was the annihilation of the Xue family and the murder of my junior brother Xue Anzhi the work of the same person?"

The elder glanced at Lin Mang and said:

"It cannot be confirmed at the moment, but the sect leader believes it is highly likely."

"You must investigate this matter thoroughly when you come out of seclusion this time."

"If it was indeed done by the same person, you must avenge Xue Anzhi and uphold the dignity of my Qiankun Sect!"

"Yes, Elder!"

Lin Mang bowed respectfully, his eyes filled with determination.

He had no idea that Qin Yang, whom he was looking for, was the murderer who had wiped out the Xue family.

His return to public life this time is destined to be a one-way street.

Lin Mang stepped out of the cave and looked up into the distance.

The sky was overcast, and it looked like it was going to rain.

A bloody storm is about to break out.

Qin Yang returned to Fengling Group and went inside.

"Brother Yang, are you... alright?"

Shangguan Wan then asked, her beautiful eyes full of concern as she looked Qin Yang up and down.

Although she didn't know exactly where Qin Yang had gone, she had a vague feeling that something must have happened.

Qin Yang smiled slightly and gently shook his head.

"It's alright, don't worry."

He didn't want Shangguan Wan to worry, so he didn't mention a word about the Xue family.

It's best not to let her know about those bloody scenes.

Shangguan Wan stared at Qin Yang, seemingly trying to discern something from his eyes.
