, he took out his phone and dialed a number. After the call connected, he spoke into the receiver for a while."I see that the two of you are fighting quite intensely, you're probably not from Dongzhou..."How about it, inconvenient" Ling Hao smiled faintly.

"I apologize, Ling Shao. Finding people is indeed outside our scope of business, so..." Xu Hong responded after a moment's thought.

"Ten billion!" Ling Hao interrupted her. "As long as you help me find the target, I can offer ten billion. If you think that's too little, we can talk further."

Ouch!

Upon hearing this, Xu Hong and the woman in the cheongsam both gasped in surprise.

Although they had encountered many wealthy clients, someone who offered ten billion yuan right off the bat was truly rare.

"Young Master Ling, please wait a moment!" After a brief pause, Xu Hong stood up.

A price of ten billion yuan was beyond her authority, she had to report it.

"Thank you, Hongjie!" Ling Hao smiled faintly.

Then, Xu Hong and the woman in the cheongsam turned and left.

"The Ink Pavilion is indeed extraordinary. This woman actually has the cultivation level of a peak Warmaster!" After the two left, the Judge spoke: "Even the waiter had the skill of a warrior."

“Of course, Moge as a killer organization that has been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years, naturally cannot be underestimated!” Lu Yue nodded in response.

As the two people were talking, footsteps echoed down the hallway again.

In a moment, a man in his fifties accompanied by Xu Hong walked in.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"Ling Shao, hello. Allow me to introduce, this is our boss," Xu Hong pointed at the middle-aged man and said.

"Greetings, Mister Ling. My name is Zhou Bin!" After the middle-aged man arrived at the sofa beside him and sat down, he looked towards Ling Hao and said.

"Good morning, Boss Zhou!" Ling Hao smiled. "I hope I'm not interrupting."

"You're too kind, Shao Ke!" Zhou Bin responded with a smile. "I heard that Shao Ke wants to entrust us with finding someone"

"Mmm!" Ling Hao nodded in response.

"I wonder what kind of person Young Ling is looking for" Zhou Bin hesitated for a moment before adding, "Also, how did Young Ling know we could definitely find him"

"We have to find her!" Ling Hao smiled faintly then took out a photo from his pocket and placed it on the tea table.

The photo clearly shows the so-called Madame Peony, wearing a veil. It was directly retrieved from the Shadow Gate system by the judge.

"Um!"

After seeing the photo, Zhou Bin and Xu Hong's pupils both shrank suddenly.

"How about it, Mr. Zhou should know you," The two's reactions were all seen by Ling Hao.

"Ling Shao laughed!" Zhou Bin took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "This lady is wearing a veil, we can't see her real face, so how can we talk about getting to know each other"

"Is that so" Ling Hao's lips curled up slightly. "This woman has a nickname, Madam Peony. Boss Zhou should have heard of her, right"

Whew!

As soon as Ling Hao's voice fell, both Zhou Bin and Xu Hong burst out with a powerful aura.

Zhou Bin's cultivation level was one grade higher than Xu Hong's. He was at the peak of the Warmaster realm, just one opportunity away from becoming a Warlord.

"Who are you!" Zhou Bin looked at Ling Hao and spoke in a deep voice.

"It seems that Boss Zhou does know this Mrs. Peony, then" Ling Hao spoke again: "Let's make a deal!"

"Tell me her whereabouts, and I'll let you two go free. How about it"

"Do you know what you're doing" Zhou Bin's eyes flashed a chill.

"Dare you come here looking for trouble Do you know what kind of beings we have behind us I tell you, I can make all three of you vanish into dust with a single word."

"Heh heh, are all the people in Mo Ge as blindly confident as you" Ling Hao's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Hmm!" Upon hearing Ling Hao's single statement, Zhou Bin and Xu Hong's faces flashed with a hint of shock once again.

Amidst the shock, a hint of uneasiness crept into both of their hearts.

Since the other party knows they are from the Mògè, and still dare to come here looking for trouble, it's clearly not a moment of heat-headedness that has them running to their death.

And, they couldn't sense any fluctuations in their auras from Ling Hao and the others. This could only mean two things.

Either none of the three are martial artists, or their cultivation levels are both above ours.

And obviously, the second possibility is more likely!

"I'm very curious, who are you that dare to ignore the Moge like this It's rather admirable!" Zhou Bin frowned.

"My patience is limited, you only have one minute to consider." Ling Hao didn't respond.

"Once time is up, whether both of you can walk out of here unscathed is anyone's guess."

Phew!

Zhou Bin took a deep breath again, his eyes flashing with a cold light: “Since that’s the case, let me see what you guys are really capable of!”

As soon as the words left her lips, she sprang from the sofa with remarkable speed, reaching out to grab at Ling Hao's throat.

"Ignorant!"

The judge on the side spoke softly, then raised his hand and swept it away with a palm strike.

Boom!

After the strong gust of wind, Zhou Bin slammed heavily against the wall behind him and fell to the ground, his mouth spraying a large mouthful of blood.

On the side, Xu Hong deeply inhaled a large mouthful of cold air, her whole body trembling, her face full of astonishment.

True Qi exudes outward, killing without a trace, at least the cultivation of a late-stage warrior!

A hallmark of a martial arts master is the ability to project their true energy outward!

However, because warlord-level itself is divided into five levels: nascent, small accomplishment, great accomplishment, peak, and perfect, the power of true qi external release also differs greatly.

Although martial artists who have reached the initial stages of "zhanjiang" (war general) and "xiaocheng" (small achievement) can achieve true qi externalization, they don't actually possess much lethality. In a real confrontation, they still rely on physical contact attacks to be effective.

By the time a warrior reaches great mastery, their true qi can be unleashed against opponents of lower ranks. A single palm strike or punch, when imbued with this energy, can inflict considerable damage on their foes.

To truly achieve the level of "true qi" externalization, where one can kill without a trace, you would need to at least reach the peak of the War General level!

Neither of them expected the other to be a strong warrior at the late stage, no wonder they couldn't sense the other's aura!

Things are probably going to be hard to smooth over today!

"Who... who are you" Zhou Bin struggled to get up from the ground, his face filled with terror.

"Still unwilling to say"

Ling Hao glanced at the other party, then turned to the judge and said.

"Judge, tell the Yinmen to come and seal this teahouse. Take everyone involved back for questioning. Anyone with a criminal record will be severely punished!"

"Got it!"

The Judge boomed a response, then pulled out his phone and sent a message.

"The Judge! Shadow Gate!" Hearing these words, Zhou Bin trembled uncontrollably.

"You...you are one of the Five Blades of Yingmen, the Judge"

"Want to see your ID" the judge put away his phone and said in a low voice.

Boom!

After receiving the verdict from the judge, Zhou Bin and Xu Hong both collapsed to the ground.

His face was pale with terror, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.is desk in his office, a cigar between his lips, deep in thought.The three great families of Dongzhou were overthrown overnight. Such a major event was enough to make him contemplate.Boom! Boom! Boom!...
