Zhonghai, Pujiang Wharf.

Yang Fei and many Great Owls disembarked from the ship.

As everyone gazed at the dazzling lights of Zhonghai, dreamlike and illusory, they were all filled with emotion.

This journey to Dragon King Hall had been fraught with danger.

Many had died in the chaos on Dragon Island.

Among them, four provincial Great Owls had perished, and nine chief bodyguards had fallen in battle.

The internal strife within Dragon King Hall had not only greatly weakened its strength.

It had also significantly diminished the power of these provincial Great Owls.

Many of the provincial Great Owls' chief bodyguards had died protecting them on Dragon Island.

And for any Great Owl,

that meant a loss of tremendous military force and deterrence.

Take the relationship between Yang Fei and Lin Xueyi, for example.

It was the relationship between a chief bodyguard and a Great Owl.

For some Great Owls, losing a chief bodyguard had serious consequences.

It's like a superpower losing the deterrence of nuclear weapons.

However, nobody panicked.

Everyone had witnessed Yang Fei's tactics and the fearsomeness of Lanting Group.

They believed that Tiger Roar Yang Fei and Queen Lin would prevent any mishaps.

Yang Fei had anticipated these events.

Before disembarking, he had already contacted Lin Xueyi.

He had asked Lin Xueyi to have Li Shun handle the situation.

Li Shun was originally just a Big Rascal under Golden Buddha.

However, because of his association with Yang Fei and Lin Xueyi, his status skyrocketed overnight.

At this moment, Li Shun had essentially become the King, a Great Owl of Shan Province.

And because of his connection to Queen Lin, he held substantial sway among the provincial Great Owls.

Li Shun's status and position were akin to Chen Yu's at Dragon King Hall.

Once, it was Chen Yu who handled the internal affairs of Dragon King Hall Group, but now it had become Li Shun.

Because preparations had been made in advance,

the expected chaos in the underworld of the Southern Thirteen Provinces did not occur.

Upon the death of a Great Owl, Li Shun immediately sent people to temporarily oversee their positions.

Some Great Owls had lost their military deterrence with the loss of their chief bodyguards.

They could apply for military support from Changfeng Security Company.

The bodyguards from Changfeng Security Company, led by Long Xia,

had combat abilities that could rival first-class Special Forces.

They were experts in explosives, stealth, and sniping.

What was even more intimidating was the sense of menace and ruthlessness that emanated from these bodyguards.

At Zhonghai Wharf, the provincial Great Owl Kings and chief bodyguards bade farewell to Yang Fei.

Before departing, they agreed to formally pay tribute to Queen Lin at the Yannan Lanting Hotel on the 15th of the month.

Yang Fei didn't linger either.

He and Mad Blade, Fan Yi, Three Swords, Xiao Xuanya, and others strode away from the Zhonghai Wharf.

On the wharf, the cold wind blew gently, and the sailors and crew members disembarked from the ships.

For these sailors and crew members,

the docking of the cruise ship signaled the arrival of a rare leisure vacation.

They all planned to take advantage of this time to unwind.

Many sailors changed their clothes, chatted and laughed as they left the cruise liner, heading towards Zhonghai's city center.

In an instant, the cruise ship was emptied of people, with hardly anyone left.

And at this precise moment, a young man slowly made his way onto the wharf.

His attire was simple yet clean.

The young man wore a black baseball cap, and his jeans encased his tall and slender legs.

A light grey coat wrapped tightly around his body.

Even in such plain attire, his grace and poise couldn't be concealed.

However, upon closer inspection,

one could see that the fellow's complexion was very pale, like the ghastly white of a dead person.

If Yang Fei and the others saw this person, they would be greatly surprised.

Because this man was none other than Chen Yu, who was presumed dead on the island.

God knows how he managed to infiltrate the cruise ship and return to Zhonghai.

After coming ashore, Chen Yu took out his phone and made a call.

A moment later, a nondescript Volkswagen CC pulled up in front of him and stopped.

A crack opened in the Volkswagen's window, and an icy, deep voice came from inside.

"Imperial Father sent me to pick you up. Get in."

Chen Yu nodded, said thanks, and got into the car.

The Volkswagen's engine started.

Amid the roaring of the engine, the car sped off, disappearing into the rainbow of neon lights at the end of the street.

In the Volkswagen, Chen Yu's voice was very low.

"I wonder what Imperial Father said after receiving my message?"

The driver laughed with a cold, low voice.

"Relax, after hearing such great news, Imperial Father won't let Tiger Roar Yang Fei and his gang off easily."

"Imperial Father has made arrangements, this time, even the Sword Emperor Miao Yifeng has been mobilized."

"Sword Emperor Miao Yifeng? My God, Imperial Father even sent him out."

Chen Yu was taken aback.

Miao Yifeng's blade is unpredictable as ghosts and gods.

Even someone like Chen Yu, a Core Formation Expert, was deeply wary of it.

The driver's voice carried deep surprise.

"It's strange to me, too. Sword Emperor Miao Yifeng and Imperial Father are usually inseparable."

"He usually sends the King of Golden Poison or the King of Silver Poison. This time is an exception."

Chen Yu, reminded of Yang Fei's terror, sighed deeply.

"Perhaps, Imperial Father is the one who understands Yang Fei the best."

"His threat far exceeds what you and I can imagine."

"Especially when he's holding a Heavy Sniper. It's like encountering gods and slaying gods, encountering Buddha and slaying Buddha."

The driver scoffed.

"Don't worry, guns are banned in the country."

"For those elusive assassins, it doesn't matter if the police can't catch them."

"But someone like Yang Fei, with a net worth of several billion, wouldn't dare to shoot."

Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Imperial Father really thinks of everything. It's best to take care of him in the country."

"My brothers have been killed by his Heavy Sniper too many times to count."

"The mere thought of that bastard's Heavy Sniper sends chills down my spine."

The driver snapped his fingers.

"Rest assured, this time Imperial Father's comprehensive takeover of the Southern Thirteen Provinces isn't just aimed at Yang Fei."

"All underground forces will face a purge."

He glanced at Chen Yu's face through the rearview mirror.

"As for you, once the great success is achieved,"

"Imperial Father will naturally send someone to help you reclaim Dragon Island."

Chen Yu nodded in agreement, his eyes flashing with intense resentment.

"I really want to see how Yang Fei dies!"

The driver hummed, "There'll be a day for that."

"Now Imperial Father wants to meet with you in person; make sure you speak well."

As they talked, the Volkswagen raced ahead and quickly disappeared from sight.

Less than five hundred meters from the Volkswagen,

a Hummer off-road vehicle closely followed the Volkswagen CC.

The driver, wearing large sunglasses and a rugged face, was none other than Mad Blade.

On the passenger seat, Yang Fei tinkered with a data terminal.

The Bluetooth feature of the data terminal was connected to the car's audio system.

At the moment, the car's player was broadcasting the conversation between the two men.

"The people from the Heavenly Demon Alliance have already set out. All the Great Owls from each province will die on the road, don't worry."

This was the driver's sinister voice.

"Hmph, I don't care how those Big Rascals die; I only care about how Yang Fei dies!"

This resentfully cold voice came from Chen Yu.
