~7 min read 1,274 words

Tang Yun's eyes were cold, like a god of death from hell.

Li Yuanba's face was pale, his legs struggling constantly, but he couldn't break free from Tang Yun's restraint at all.

"Tang Yun, you... you can't kill me! I... I am the Li family head..."

"Li family head?" Tang Yun sneered, "In my eyes, you are just an ant."

He applied a little force, and Chaos Power surged into Li Yuanba's body, destroying his meridians.

"Ah!" Li Yuanba let out a shrill scream, his face instantly becoming twisted, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down from his forehead.

"Speak, what is the relationship between the Li family and the Shadow Organization?" Tang Yun's tone was cold, like a judging god of death.

Li Yuanba struggled painfully, making vague sounds in his mouth: "I... I don't know..."

"Don't know?" A flash of cold light crossed Tang Yun's eyes, and he applied force again.

"Ah! I'll say... I'll say..." Li Yuanba couldn't bear the pain anymore and roared.

"Our Li family... is the spokesperson... of the Shadow Organization... in the outside world..."

"Spokesperson?" Tang Yun's brows furrowed slightly, "Tell me specifically."

Li Yuanba intermittently confessed the relationship between the Li family and the Shadow Organization, as well as some secrets of the Shadow Organization.

It turned out that the Li family was ostensibly a wealthy and powerful family in Jiangbei, but behind the scenes, they were puppets of the Shadow Organization, responsible for collecting information for the Shadow Organization and carrying out some assassination missions.

And Li Yuanba's son, Li Tianhao, was the key cultivation target of the Shadow Organization, who would succeed Li Yuanba in the future and become the new spokesperson for the Shadow Organization.

After hearing Li Yuanba's confession, a flash of coldness crossed Tang Yun's eyes.

"Shadow Organization..."

A strong killing intent rose in his heart; this mysterious organization actually dared to reach into Jiangbei and dared to send people to assassinate him, simply courting death!

"Do you have anything else to say?" Tang Yun asked coldly.

Li Yuanba's face was gray; he knew he was bound to die today and could only shake his head in despair.

Tang Yun applied force, and with a "crack," Li Yuanba's neck was broken, dead as dead could be.

He threw Li Yuanba's corpse onto the ground and turned to look outside the ancestral hall.

Qin Feng and Lin Xue'er were waiting anxiously, and seeing Tang Yun come out, they hurriedly greeted him.

"Cloud Brother, are you okay?" Lin Xue'er asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Tang Yun shook his head, "The Li family has been resolved."

"Resolved?" Qin Feng was a bit surprised, "So fast?"

Tang Yun smiled and didn't say much.

He took Qin Feng and Lin Xue'er and left the Li Family Ancestral Hall, leaving behind only corpses all over the ground and a strong smell of blood.

At the same time, in a luxury villa in the center of Jiangbei City.

A middle-aged man in a black suit was sitting on the sofa, listening to his subordinate's report.

"Li family head Li Yuanba is dead?" The middle-aged man's brows furrowed slightly, "What happened?"

"It is said that he was killed by Tang Yun." The subordinate replied respectfully.

"Tang Yun?" A flash of cold light crossed the middle-aged man's eyes, "Looks like this Tang Yun is even more troublesome than I imagined."

He stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and overlooked the night view of Jiangbei City.

"Notify them to start Plan B."

"Yes!"

Tang Yun didn't know that he had already attracted the attention of the Shadow Organization, and a bigger crisis was quietly descending...

The next day, Tang Yun received an unknown call.

"Tang Yun, long time no see." A cold voice came from the other end of the phone.

Tang Yun's brows furrowed slightly: "Who are you?"

"Who I am is not important, what's important is that I know who you are."

The cold voice continued.

"I know you killed Li Yuanba, and I also know you obtained the secrets of the Li family and the Shadow Organization."

Tang Yun felt a shock in his heart; this mysterious person actually knew so much, looks like they were coming with bad intentions.

"What do you want to do?" Tang Yun asked coldly.

"I want to cooperate with you."

The cold voice said, "I know you want to deal with the Shadow Organization, and I have the same goal."

"Cooperate?" Tang Yun sneered, "Why should I believe you?"

"Just because I know your secrets, and I also know what you want."

The cold voice said, "I can help you deal with the Shadow Organization, but you also have to help me do one thing."

"What thing?"

"Help me kill... someone..."

"Kill who?" Tang Yun's tone was cold, without any hesitation.

He knew that cooperating with such an unknown person was inherently risky.

But to deal with the Shadow Organization, he was willing to take this risk.

The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, then slowly said: "Li Tianhao."

Tang Yun clenched his phone, his eyes fixed.

Li Tianhao, Li Yuanba's son, the key cultivation target of the Shadow Organization.

"Why?"

"Because he is blocking my way."

The other party's tone carried a hint of ruthlessness, "Only if he dies can I move up."

Tang Yun sneered in his heart; sure enough, this was just a power struggle.

"I can help you, but I want to know your identity."

"Now is not the time." The other party refused, "Once you kill Li Tianhao, I will naturally show myself."

Tang Yun was silent for a moment and finally agreed.

"Okay, I agree."

"Very good." The other party's tone carried a hint of a smile, "I will contact you again."

After speaking, the phone hung up.

Tang Yun put down his phone, his brows locked tight.

Who exactly is this mysterious person? Why does he want to kill Li Tianhao? What is his ultimate goal?

Tang Yun didn't know any of these questions now.

He only knew that he had already been drawn into a bigger conspiracy...

Tang Yun returned to the villa and found Lin Xue'er sitting on the sofa, looking anxious.

"Cloud Brother, you're finally back!" Lin Xue'er saw Tang Yun and hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"Just now I received news that Li Tianhao took people to the Li Family Ancestral Hall!"

Tang Yun felt a shock in his heart; why did Li Tianhao go to the Li Family Ancestral Hall? Could it be that he discovered something?

"Where is Qin Feng?"

"He went to find you and hasn't come back yet."

Tang Yun's expression sank, and he immediately realized something was wrong.

"Xue'er, you stay at home and don't go anywhere."

"Cloud Brother, where are you going?"

Lin Xue'er grabbed Tang Yun's arm, her eyes full of worry.

Tang Yun patted her hand gently, comforting her: "I'll be back soon, don't worry."

After speaking, Tang Yun turned and rushed out of the villa, speeding toward the Li Family Ancestral Hall.

Li Family Ancestral Hall.

Li Tianhao stood in the center of the ancestral hall, looking around with a gloomy face.

"Dad, where exactly did you hide the thing?"

The people he brought were searching everywhere, but they never found the thing Li Yuanba had mentioned.

"Young Master, nothing was found." A subordinate walked to Li Tianhao's side and said in a low voice.

Li Tianhao slammed his fist onto the table and roared: "Keep looking! Even if you have to dig three feet deep, you must find it for me!"
