The opponent had anticipated that he would extract Zhou Jin's soul and had set up an array in advance. The moment he extracted it, the array was activated, and Zhou Jin's soul was scattered, leaving him no chance for reincarnation.
Just then, An Zhiguo's phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. After he answered, a familiar voice came through: "Old man Zhou, are you going crazy?"
"Ye Xingchen, is that you?" An Zhiguo was both surprised and furious.
"Yes, it was me. When you hired an Onmyoji and international assassins to deal with me, you should have been prepared for this." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
“You killed my son and harmed Zhou Jin, you surnamed Ye, I will use all the power of the An family to kill you.”
"I'm waiting for you. But you and the old man from the Zhou family have been in contact with Yi Chuanliu all these years, haven't you?" Ye Xingchen sneered: "Selling out your country for personal gain, do you really think the higher-ups don't know what you've been doing in secret?"
"What did you say?" An Zhiguo's expression froze instantly.
"To tell you the truth, the An family is already surrounded. The people from Xuanyu Pavilion will find your hiding place soon. You can still run now," Ye Xingchen said leisurely.
An Zhiguo was in turmoil. He knew that he had been exposed and that even if the higher-ups didn't act today, they must have already started making plans.
"Why are you telling me all this?" An Zhiguo composed himself.
"Because they took you away, I can't kill you with my own hands. Let's wash your neck and play a cat-and-mouse game, shall we?" Ye Xingchen said with a smile. "I want to see if you can escape, or if I can find you before you escape."
*Click*... An Zhiguo hung up the phone, his voice a little hoarse: "Father-in-law, we've been exposed. We should go."
"Heh, leave? Where to?" Zhou Xuanji laughed in extreme anger: "The Zhou family line has ended, all that I have done is meaningless."
"Where there's life, there's hope." An Zhiguo said urgently, "Father, if we wait any longer, it will be too late."
“I have nothing left but this place, the Xuanming Zhou Tian Grand Array, which I use to borrow power and change my fate.” Zhou Xuanji slowly got up and murmured, “Zhou Jin is also dead, so there’s no point in keeping this array.”
"They'll come looking for us, right? Heh, fine, I'll activate the grand formation and take them all down with me."
“But…” An Zhiguo wanted to say something more.
“Let’s go. You still have some business overseas, and you have a few illegitimate children. You can start over overseas.” Zhou Xuanji shook his hand weakly: “As for me, I have nothing left. Consider this my last act for you.”
An Zhiguo trembled and remained silent. After a long while, he knelt down with a thud, kowtowed three times, then stood up and turned to leave.
Zhou Xuanji looked grim; he knew that this time, he couldn't escape it.
He slowly stood up, opened a hidden door, and went inside.
A chilling wind blew up from the hidden door, sending shivers down one's spine.
What's even more shocking is that in the stone chamber behind the hidden door, dozens of corpses were hanging upside down.
These corpses had their hearts ripped out, and their grotesque, twisted faces revealed the horrific nature of their deaths.
Zhou Xuanji went inside, lit a rhinoceros horn, and then with a flick of his wrists, an apricot-yellow array flag unfolded and spread on the ground.
He struck his chest hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood that landed on the apricot-yellow flag. Then he changed hand seals.
The entire dark room was filled with a chilling atmosphere. The suspended corpses slowly rotated. Suddenly, one of the corpses opened its eyes and let out a hoarse roar.
An Zhiguo's private car sped along the highway as he gripped his phone, sending out a series of calls and instructions.
He knew that if the crime he committed were proven, he would spend the rest of his life in prison, and the entire An family would be wiped out.
Now, in the midst of his busy schedule, he no longer cares about the risk of exposure and is frantically transferring his assets abroad.
Suddenly, with a loud bang, the car's tire burst, and the car went out of control. The driver used all his strength to stabilize the vehicle.
The run-flat tires weren't a big problem. Just as the driver was about to restart the car, a hand suddenly smashed the glass with a heavy punch, and then another hand knocked the driver unconscious.
"Who are you people?" An Zhiguo roared angrily.
The other party did not answer, but forcibly opened the car door. The moment the door was opened, An Zhiguo grabbed a pistol and pointed it at the other party's head.
But the other person tilted their head, and his shot missed. Then a pincer-like hand grabbed his wrist, knocked the gun out of his hand, and then a black bag covered his head.
An Zhiguo started yelling and struggling, but someone knocked him down with a blow to the head.
Zhou Dazhu waved his hand, and a group of people escorted the guy away silently.
For Jiaolong to perform this kind of task is almost like testing the waters.
"Boss, the person is here." Zhou Dazhu threw the person on the ground.
This place was a dilapidated house in the suburbs, where Ye Xingchen had been waiting for a long time.
"Not bad." Ye Xingchen nodded slightly and asked with a smile, "How is the Jiaolong project progressing now?"
“We train every day, and occasionally we take on one or two small missions, but everyone is eager to see what it’s like to be on a bigger stage,” Zhou Dazhu grinned.
"Alright, once things are settled in Yanjing, you can take them abroad and make a name for yourself as the Flood Dragon." Ye Xingchen nodded.
"Understood." Zhou Dazhu grinned, and with a wave of his hand, two team members immediately removed the black cloth covering An Zhiguo's head.
Immediately afterwards, a basin of water was poured over An Zhiguo's head.
An Zhiguo jolted awake and opened his eyes to see Ye Xingchen.
"Ye Xingchen." An Zhiguo's eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
"It's me. What a pity, Patriarch An was almost at the airport." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
"You despicable scoundrel! Using such shameless tricks, if you have the guts, come at me openly and honestly!" An Zhiguo cursed.
"First of all, the airport has been placed under surveillance by Xuan Yu Pavilion. Your actions of moving your accounts and transferring your assets have already attracted the attention of relevant departments. You will be arrested at the airport as well."
"Secondly, the truly despicable person should be you, right? You and your father-in-law have been colluding with the Japanese for so long, and you've betrayed national interests countless times, haven't you?"
Ye Xingchen sneered, "If we're talking about despicable people, it's you who's despicable."
"What do you want?" An Zhiguo's body trembled slightly, half from anger and half from fear.
He was well aware of how many things he had done that could have cost him his life in order to pursue his own interests during his years in office.
