"The Sato family massacred the Zhan Long Hall mysterious training base, killing everyone, including the five personal disciples of the Zhan Long Hall Master!"
That night, a piece of news appeared on the dark web forum and quickly spread throughout the global underworld, causing a huge shock!
Over the past four years, Zhan Long Hall had been born, grown, and risen, and was now renowned and formidable in the global underworld!
During this period, some underworld forces had attempted to retaliate against Zhan Long Hall, but at most, they had only eliminated Zhan Long Hall teams or individually hunted down individual members. Never had a Zhan Long Hall base been wiped out!
This was because Zhan Long Hall's security work was excellent, and no intelligence agency had ever discovered its headquarters.
More importantly, those underworld forces that had acted against Zhan Long Hall had all faced swift retaliation from Zhan Long Hall, and the Zhan Long Hall Master himself had gained a fearsome reputation!
In this context, how could the massacre of the Zhan Long Hall training base by the Sato family and the tragic deaths of the Zhan Long Hall Master's five disciples not cause a shock?
"Why did the Sato family, the hidden controllers of the Sangokai in the Land of Ninjas, make a move against Zhan Long Hall?"
As this incident sent shockwaves through the global underworld, many people were filled with questions, wondering why the Sato family had done this.
"Jiang Zhan of the Dragon Country killed Sato Nin years ago, committing an unforgivable crime. Now, Jiang Zhan's son, Jiang Wuming, has appeared and is a member of Zhan Long Hall.
The massacre of the Zhan Long Hall training base is the Sato family's punishment for Zhan Long Hall and a way to collect some interest on the death of Sato Nin years ago!
From now on, unless the Zhan Long Hall Master personally brings Jiang Wuming to the Sato family's ancestral land to apologize, the Sato family will eradicate Zhan Long Hall!!"
Soon, Sato Taka of the Sato family published such a declaration on the dark web forum.
He was a core member of the Sato family and the helmsman of the Sangokai, possessing the strength of a two-star War God and ranking fifth on the Two-Star War God List.
The massacre of the Zhan Long Hall training base was also carried out by Sato Taka and his men!
"My God, the Sato family is actually declaring war on Zhan Long Hall because of Jiang Wuming?"
"Idiot, this is not a declaration of war, but a warning and a threat—Zhan Long Hall is not qualified or strong enough to go to war with the Sato family!"
"Exactly. Although the Zhan Long Hall Master has reached the top of the Two-Star War God List, he is only a two-star War God. The Sato family, however, is one of the top martial arts forces in the Land of Ninjas. The patriarch of the family, Sato Tenichi, is a four-star War God, and the family also has three-star War Gods—this is a dimensionality reduction attack on Zhan Long Hall and its Master!"
"What will Zhan Long Hall do? What will the Zhan Long Hall Master do? Will he do as the Sato family warned and take Jiang Wuming to the Sato family's ancestral land to apologize?!"
After Sato Taka's declaration on behalf of the Sato family, the sensationalism of the matter doubled. In addition to the global underworld, the martial arts world also began to pay attention and discuss it.
There was no answer.
For a time, everyone was waiting for Zhan Long Hall's response.
...
Su City, Su Family Old Residence.
Dongfang Xiaoyao sat in front of her laptop, browsed the Shenwang forum, and then logged into the dark web forum. These two forums were her daily checks.
Swish!
Soon, Dongfang Xiaoyao saw the news about the massacre of the Zhan Long Hall training base, and her face changed dramatically!
Her identity within Zhan Long Hall was special; she served as Jiang Wuming's shadow, rarely involved in organizational affairs.
During this period, she had been following Jiang Wuming's orders to protect Su Shiyun, so neither Tian Ying nor Qin Xiaozhi had informed her about this matter!
As a result, the shock this news brought her was indescribable!
Under the light, her eyes widened, and she stared blankly at the title of the news for several seconds. After confirming she wasn't mistaken, she tremblingly reached out and opened the content of the message with her mouse.
"Hoo... hoo..."
When Dongfang Xiaoyao saw that everyone in the training base, including Jiang Wuming's five disciples, had been brutally killed, the bright smiles of those five children flashed in her mind. She felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife, her face turned ashen, and even her breathing became rapid!
In addition to her heartache, she almost instinctively picked up her phone to contact Jiang Wuming, but then forced herself to calm down, put down her phone, and returned to the dark web forum homepage.
Soon, Dongfang Xiaoyao saw Sato Taka's extremely arrogant declaration.
"Damn bastard!!"
Dongfang Xiaoyao cursed softly, and a cold killing intent erupted from her body. The mouse in her hand was instantly reduced to dust.
At this moment, she wished she could rush to the Sato family's ancestral land immediately and settle scores with the Sato family!
But... she could only imagine it.
She was merely a nine-star martial artist and could not avenge the members of Zhan Long Hall, including those five children. Going to the Sato family's ancestral land would be no different from seeking death!
"He will go, won't he??"
After her anger subsided, Dongfang Xiaoyao suppressed her killing intent and couldn't help but murmur to herself.
He will.
He definitely will!
Immediately, the answer surfaced in her mind.
As Jiang Wuming's shadow, she, like Qin Xiaozhi, understood Jiang Wuming well. She knew that Jiang Wuming distinguished between grievances and debts, and avenged every wrong done to him!
With the answer in mind, worry resurfaced on Dongfang Xiaoyao's face. This time, the enemy Jiang Wuming faced was one of the top martial arts forces in the Land of Ninjas, far surpassing any before!
Moreover, if Jiang Wuming infiltrated the Land of Ninjas to retaliate against the Sato family, he might also face encirclement and suppression by the martial arts societies of the Land of Ninjas—this would be an almost certain death situation for Jiang Wuming!
At this moment, Dongfang Xiaoyao very much wanted to call Jiang Wuming, but she ultimately did not.
Because she knew that she could not persuade or stop Jiang Wuming, nor could she help Jiang Wuming do anything.
This... made her feel powerless and self-reproachful!
At the same time.
Chu Wansong, who had ascended to the throne of the godfather of the Dragon Country's underworld because of Jiang Wuming, also learned about the massacre of the Zhan Long Hall training base by the Sato family and contacted Jiang Wuming immediately.
"Wuming, I just found out about the Sato family massacring the Zhan Long Hall training base. These scoundrels!"
When the call connected, Chu Wansong spoke first, and at the end, he couldn't help but curse, then said, "I'm sorry, Wuming, I've implicated you."
"Uncle Chu, this has nothing to do with you. Even without you, the Sato family would want to kill me. The incident in South Port is the best proof."
Jiang Wuming knew in his heart that everything the Sato family had done was because his father, Jiang Zhan, had killed the most powerful martial arts genius of the Sato family and the Land of Ninjas—Sato Nin!
"Wuming, what are you planning to do?" Chu Wansong asked.
"The Kyoto Martial Arts Academy in the Land of Ninjas has invited the Donghai Martial Arts Academy for a martial arts exchange event in three days. I plan to join the Donghai Martial Arts Academy delegation as Jiang Wuming, enter the Land of Ninjas, and then secretly retaliate against the Sato family!"
Jiang Wuming did not hide his plan from Chu Wansong.
"No, Wuming, this is too dangerous!"
Chu Wansong's expression changed, and he quickly stopped him. Then he said, "How about this, I'll contact that four-star War God who agreed to help me and ask him to deal with the Sato family!"
"Uncle Chu, War Gods are closely monitored by the martial arts departments and War God Halls of various countries, especially high-end combat powers above four-star War Gods. Their every move is closely watched.
Once the senior you mentioned enters the Land of Ninjas, he will be locked onto by the martial arts societies of the Land of Ninjas. As soon as he makes a move against the Sato family, the martial arts societies of the Land of Ninjas will definitely intervene!
Moreover, even if we take a step back and assume there are no martial arts societies of the Land of Ninjas, it would be very difficult for him alone to deal with the entire Sato family!"
Jiang Wuming politely refused Chu Wansong's good intentions, "Uncle Chu, thank you. I appreciate your kindness. I will handle this matter myself."
"Alright."
Chu Wansong sighed. Although he outwardly agreed with Jiang Wuming, he immediately made that mysterious phone call after ending the call with Jiang Wuming.
For Jiang Wuming, he was willing to use that precious opportunity for a four-star War God to make a move.
Even though he knew that the other party would most likely refuse, he still wanted to try!
