"Since you've understood it, you can die now. Originally, you didn't qualify for me to personally act, but earlier you dared to say you'd go after my woman. That I can't tolerate. So after you die, don't blame me!"

Bai Xiaofan received Wu Liang's affirmative reply, then smiled faintly, the corner of his mouth forming a mocking arc as he slowly raised his palm.

"No… Don't kill me, please… I beg you…"

Smack!

Wu Liang heard Bai Xiaofan's words and, seeing his raised palm, immediately crouched on the ground, begging incessantly.

However, before the plea was fully uttered, Bai Xiaofan's palm had already descended, striking directly on Wu Liang's head.

Wu Liang's body slowly toppled to the ground, devoid of life!

Upon witnessing Wu Liang's death, Sun Zi and Zhou Tian were so frightened they immediately turned and fled, not even bothering to care about the big enforcers they had brought with them.

Observing the situation unfold, the likelihood of survival for those enforcers was slim to none.

Given that those enforcers themselves were desperate to escape the predicament, it was certain they wouldn't have any intention of assisting Sun Zi and Zhou Tian either.

Watching Sun Zi and Zhou Tian flee faster than mad dogs, Bai Xiaofan gestured to Coldblood with a wave of his hand.

Coldblood's figure instantly darted forward, catching up to Sun Zi and Zhou Tian in the blink of an eye!

Slash!

The blade fell, and Zhou Tian's life was instantly taken!

Yet, perhaps fear had activated latent power within him, as Sun Zi's speed increased even further—he didn't even dare glance back!

Coldblood cast a fleeting glance at the escaping Sun Zi, then turned and returned to the front of the small tavern, not sparing another look in Sun Zi's direction.

Seeing this scene, Song Shishi appeared perplexed.

She couldn't understand why Bai Xiaofan had let Sun Zi go!

Everyone knew that if Sun Zi escaped, he would definitely return to the Capital City to report.

At that time, the Sun family, the Zhou family, and even the Wu family would surely send people seeking revenge!

And more likely than that, Wang Tianhao could send even stronger experts!

The experts sent this time already had cultivation at the Top Nascent Soul stage.

If more experts were sent, their cultivation would definitely not be lower than that either.

"Clean it up."

Bai Xiaofan issued an instruction to Coldblood and the others, then returned to the tavern with White Tiger, Zhan Xing, and Zhao Hui to sit down and enjoy some drinks.

"Elder Zhao, how do you find the welcome ceremony I've prepared for you?"

Bai Xiaofan took a sip from his glass, looking at Zhao Hui across from him with a faint smile.

"Not great—arriving here starts with killing people. I thought we'd be sipping tea instead!"

Zhao Hui was straightforward, shaking his head, indicating his dissatisfaction.

He had just arrived in South City with the remaining subordinates this morning.

Who would have thought that as soon as his subordinates were placed under White Tiger and Zhan Xing's command, Bai Xiaofan had summoned him?

He had anticipated a chance to drink and chat, but instead, it was straight into killing, against Top Nascent Soul-stage opponents, no less.

Understandably so—his current cultivation level was only at Top Nascent Soul-stage. How could it have been easy?

What shocked Zhao Hui even more was discovering that Zhan Xing had achieved a breakthrough to Mid Nascent Soul stage.

A Mid Nascent Soul-stage Zhan Xing had combat power that was no weaker than his own.

Their sudden attack caught the three Top Nascent Soul-stage experts off guard.

This was what had established their advantage!

"Mr. Bai is helping you—drawing out those in Dragon Shadow who want to eliminate you. Here in South City, once they come, they'll stay for good. By steadily chipping away at White Brow's forces, you'll be in prime position to return and become Chief Elder. Doesn't that sound delightful?"

Zhan Xing explained in a low voice to Zhao Hui after taking a big gulp of wine.

"With just the three of us, if White Brow—that old bastard—actually sends truly powerful experts, wouldn't it be difficult to handle?"

Upon hearing Zhan Xing's explanation, Zhao Hui furrowed his brows slightly, looking at Bai Xiaofan for an answer.

"Hey, what do you mean by 'just the three of you'? Am I not a person?"

White Tiger asked unhappily.

"Given White Brow's temperament, he'll either send no one or send Elder-level core members at the very least. For battles at that level, you don't count as 'a person'!"

Zhao Hui's blunt response left White Tiger nearly tumbling out of his chair in anger.

"Damn it, you're paying for your own drinks!"

White Tiger cursed, feeling aggrieved. Having departed Dragon Shadow, he no longer showed the same respect for its core elders as before!

"No matter who the opponent is, as long as they dare come here, I'll dare kill them!"

Bai Xiaofan said confidently, raising his glass and glancing at the three men before him.

"Ha, I admire your boldness!"

Zhao Hui exclaimed, raising his glass high.

Zhan Xing and White Tiger likewise lifted their glasses. The four clinked glasses and downed their drinks in one gulp!

Song Shishi stood off to the side, watching the four chat so uninhibitedly, and felt a twinge of annoyance.

But recalling Bai Xiaofan's earlier words about her, she decided not to express it, knowing he'd surely retort again that her body meant nothing to him!

Still—that rascal—the words he had just spoken were so domineering!

No matter who the opponent is, as long as they dare come here, I'll dare kill them!

Now that's what a real man should be like!

After drinking for a while, the tavern outside had already returned to normal.

The other shops nearby also reopened for business.

The news of Wang Tianhao's fiancée, Song Shishi, fleeing to South City and behaving intimately with another man quickly spread amongst the Capital City's major families.

Suddenly, many families started probing for information, eager to find out who this reckless man truly was.

Meanwhile, at a Wang family villa, Wang Tianhao lounged casually on a sofa, sipping premium Longjing tea served by a servant.

"Young Master, should I go retrieve Song Shishi for you?"

Behind Wang Tianhao stood a woman dressed in black, her voice low as she addressed the calm and composed man.

"Retrieve her? Why bother? If she wants to play, let her play!"

Wang Tianhao smiled slightly, then picked up an empty teacup and poured tea for the black-clad woman.

"Mu Dan, have a seat and enjoy a cup. This tea is truly excellent!"

Hearing Wang Tianhao's invitation, Mu Dan hesitated before sitting across from him and gently lifting her teacup.

"But Young Master, if you don't retrieve Song Shishi, letting her stay in South City could negatively impact your reputation!"

After taking a sip, Mu Dan didn't comment on the tea but continued expressing concern for Wang Tianhao. Clearly, this woman named Mu Dan was deeply invested in his wellbeing.
