"My son, my son, who is it! Who is it! Waaaaah!"
At the crime scene, a middle-aged man dressed in brocade robes was wailing and holding the corpse on the ground.
Although Tantai Guanlan looks young, she is actually quite old.
Tantai Lin was his son born late in life, and he was born to one of his favorite women surnamed Lin.
Therefore, he doted on this son.
They even compared it to their own lives!
Now that his son is dead, he is truly devastated, as if he has lost his life.
"Master, the young master has passed away. Please accept our condolences!"
The butler stood by, offering words of comfort with a sorrowful look in his eyes.
Tantai Guanlan's old body trembled slightly. After a long while, he slowly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, like a bloodthirsty demon.
His voice trembled as he asked, "Who is it? Who is it? I must find the murderer and avenge my son! Investigate immediately!"
The servants of the Tantai family dared not neglect their duties and immediately went to investigate.
The villa is covered by surveillance cameras, so it would be easy to investigate a case.
"Master, we've checked the surveillance footage. During this period, only Liu Huan from the Hehuan Sect and Feng Wan'er, the second young lady of the Feng family, came by!" the steward reported quietly as he approached.
"Feng Wan'er!"
Tantai Guanlan clenched his fist tightly, uttered the name word by word, and then slammed his fist hard into the ground. Boom!
The ground cracked open instantly, and the villa shook violently.
He should have thought of that a long time ago.
The young lady of the Divine Blood Family is proud by nature. Naturally, she will not let it go when she learns that her fiancé is having an affair.
When this stubborn streak kicks in, it's entirely possible for him to accidentally kill someone!
But that was his son, Tantai Guanlan's only son.
Now that my son has been killed, even the King of Heaven himself cannot forgive me!
"Gather all the troops, immediately!" Tantai Guanlan roared through gritted teeth.
"Master, please accept my condolences, but this matter..."
"Screw your condolences! If you're going to offer condolences, offer condolences to others. Stop spouting nonsense!"
Ignoring the butler's advice, Tantai Guanlan slowly stood up, holding her son, and walked outside with a murderous look on her face.
boom!
In a flash, Tantai Guanlan arrived at the manor, his footsteps leaving three-inch-deep footprints on the grass.
Every step was heavy.
Similarly, every step is fraught with danger.
The most tragic things in life are losing one's father in childhood, one's wife in middle age, and one's son in old age.
This is the sorrow of an old father, this is the anger of an old father.
Today, a bloody massacre is inevitable!
"Brother, stop!"
Whoosh!
Just as Tantai Guanlan was walking towards the Divine Blood Villa, a burly figure suddenly flew over and blocked his way.
Tantai Guanlan stopped in his tracks, frowning. "Does even Brother Tang intend to stop me?"
The only person who could stop the Tantai family head from advancing was probably Tang Peng, the head of the Tang family.
“Brother, I’ve heard about your son’s situation, but I think there are many suspicious points. Don’t jump to conclusions!” Tang Peng sighed and quickly advised.
"Drawing conclusions hastily?"
Tantai Guanlan sneered, "Only two people have been to my son's bedroom. One is a lowly woman from the Hehuan Sect. She wouldn't dare to lay a hand on my son even if she had a hundred lives. Besides, she's just a rogue cultivator and no match for my son at all! Who else could have killed my son but Feng Wan'er?"
"Everything must be based on evidence; we can't be so hasty!" Tang Peng continued to persuade him.
Tantai Guanlan's face turned cold. He pulled down Tantai Lin's pants, revealing the miserable state inside to everyone's view.
"Ah! This..."
"My God, this is too cruel! How could they do such a vicious thing!"
"If that woman hadn't held a grudge, who would have dared to touch a man's lower body..."
Whispers rippled around them.
People were initially skeptical, but after seeing Tantai Lin's miserable state, most began to believe it.
Such cruel and perverse methods could indeed be the result of the woman's resentment.
Now, even Tang Peng didn't know what to say.
"Who dares to make a scene before my Divine Blood Gate!"
Just then, several men and women of different ages came out of the villa on the side of the Divine Blood.
The leader was a handsome middle-aged man with striking eyebrows and fair, delicate skin, resembling a charming scholar.
In reality, he is the current head of the Shenxue Feng family, Feng Li's son, Feng Xiaotian.
Although the divine bloodline has declined, these people still exude an air of superior composure.
Even when facing the ancient martial arts practitioners, he still maintained a somewhat condescending demeanor.
The Divine Bloodline has always been the behind-the-scenes mastermind of the Great Xia Dynasty, and has never taken the Ancient Martial Arts seriously.
"Feng Xiaotian, stop pretending! Your daughter killed my son! How are we going to settle this score?!" Tantai Guanlan roared at Feng Xiaotian, her eyes bloodshot.
Feng Xiaotian frowned and turned to look at his second daughter, Feng Wan'er, "Wan'er, this..."
Feng Wan'er was also a little flustered at this moment, and quickly shook her head, "Father, I didn't, I didn't kill this lecher!"
"Still denying it? Look at the bloodstains all over my son's body, are you sure you didn't do this?"
"Ah, I was the one who struck you with the whip, but this..."
"You wicked woman!! I never imagined you could be so cruel at such a young age! I'll kill you right now to avenge my son! Ah—"
Tantai Guanlan erupted instantly, and an incomparably terrifying aura burst forth!
But just as he erupted, a large hand immediately grabbed his arm.
Soon, the terrifying aura was compressed and dissipated.
"Patriarch Tang, why are you stopping me? They're practically defecating on our heads, are you expecting me to put up with it?"
The grief of losing her son instantly caused Tantai Guanlan to lose her mind.
Tang Peng said in a deep voice, "Brother, I sympathize with your plight, but this is a critical time for the North and South to unite against foreign invaders. Do not act rashly!"
"You think it's important? Did they even care? They don't care about my son's life and just take it away at will. What kind of cooperation is this? This is clearly a declaration of war!" Tantai Guanlan roared.
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Even the leaders of Shenxue couldn't help but frown, their bodies tensing up as they immediately became on guard.
After all, the Divine Blood Sect no longer has top-tier combat power, while the Ancient Martial Arts Sect has a Great Profound Realm expert like Tang Peng. If a real fight breaks out, they really don't have the confidence to escape unscathed.
Fortunately, Tang Peng remained rational. He used his Xuan Domain to tightly bind Tantai Guanlan and said, "Brother, why don't you let me handle this matter? Once I've investigated it thoroughly, I'll definitely give you an explanation!"
Tantai Guanlan was still trembling, but Tang Peng's status in the ancient martial arts world was beyond doubt. Even the Tantai family had to rely on the Tang family, so Tang Peng's words still carried a lot of weight.
In the end, he held back, took a step back, and said in a deep voice, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Tang. My son cannot have died in vain. There must be a result today!"
