"Huff..."

Huang Xing gasped for breath, glaring at Chen Yuan.

A mere yamen runner dared to speak to him like this, a complete disgrace.

Little did he know that the misfortune befalling the Huang family was entirely due to Chen Yuan lighting the fuse; otherwise, who knows what he would have thought.

After Huang Xing was dealt with, the Huang family's martial artists were also defeated and captured under the onslaught of a large number of yamen runners. Soon, several yamen runners under Tie Xuan's command bound Huang Xing with iron chains.

The clash between Tie Xuan and Huang Shengnian was also nearing its end.

Tie Xuan's strength was much greater than Huang Shengnian's. Wielding a long spear, his qi and blood surged, and a faint black glow appeared on his skin.

The ground was pounded with booming sounds, while Huang Shengnian continuously unleashed his Gale Quick Sword, creating a constant clang of metal against metal.

Several blood-red plum blossoms stained Huang Shengnian's body, each mark where Tie Xuan had pierced his flesh.

"Attack!"

Tie Xuan's yamen runners exchanged glances and charged towards Huang Shengnian, brandishing their long sabers.

With the addition of these fresh troops, Huang Shengnian was defeated in less than ten breaths. Tie Xuan held his spear tip against Huang Shengnian's neck, and traces of blood trickled out.

Huang Shengnian wore a look of defeat, exhaling a long breath.

This time, the Huang family had fallen!

Those members of the Eternal Life Sect actually didn't show up according to the agreed-upon signal, they were simply damnable.

"Master Huang, do you have anything else to say now?" Tie Xuan's tone was somewhat smug.

Huang Shengnian:

"Tie Xuan, don't be too proud too soon!"

"What? Do you have any tricks up your sleeve?" Tie Xuan raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Huang Shengnian snorted coldly and turned his head away.

"So, you don't have any tricks left. Then, shut your pie hole… Just you wait, I, Tie Xuan, am going to wipe out the Huang family! Don't think I don't know about you sending people to assassinate my sister."

"I've just been biding my time, and today is the day I get my revenge!"

Tie Xuan's tone changed, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

After saying that, Tie Xuan waved his hand, and several yamen runners immediately stepped forward to pierce his shoulder bones with iron hooks. Huang Shengnian gritted his teeth, and cold sweat poured down.

"What's your name?" Tie Xuan turned his gaze to Chen Yuan, walking up to him.

Even if this unfamiliar yamen runner didn't act, the strongman that the magistrate invited would have arrived in time. But the fact that Chen Yuan had been able to take action was remarkable.

Moreover, his strength seemed quite good.

If this kid knew what was good for him, it might not be a bad idea to cultivate him.

"Reporting, sir, this humble one is Chen Yuan..."

Chen Yuan bowed slightly, glancing at the ground. He was sure that Tie Xuan hadn't recognized him.

But that was normal. When he met Tie Xuan, he had not only changed his voice but also wore a mask. Even through the mask, at most, there would only be some familiarity with his eyes.

"Chen Yuan... How long have you been with the county yamen?" Tie Xuan's thoughts raced, confirming that he had no impression of Chen Yuan.

"One year and two months."

"Why did you take action just now?"

"As a member of the yamen, it is my duty to serve the court!" Chen Yuan said with a solemn expression.

"Heh... I'll just pretend to believe that."

Tie Xuan chuckled and continued,

"From now on, you will follow me." Tie Xuan stepped forward and patted Chen Yuan's shoulder as encouragement.

"Thank you, sir."

Chen Yuan acted excited at the right moment.

"Your physique is quite robust, and your foundation is decent." Tie Xuan nodded and then turned his gaze to Huang Xing on the ground, sneering as he looked at the Huang family and said in a low voice:

"Search!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Yes, sir!"

Chen Yuan was a little moved. His hostility towards the Huang family, apart from Huang Xing’s murderous intent towards him, was also because of the information that the Qi Luck Altar had guided him to: the Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Pearl!

"Chen Yuan, Zhao Yang... you follow me..." Tie Xuan casually called out two names and stepped into the Huang family's residence.

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, following behind Tie Xuan without expression.

A group of yamen runners rushed into the Huang family. All the women and children were prostrate on the ground, crying. Someone who resisted was stabbed to death.

The Huang family had fallen. Even if no evidence was found, the yamen runners were sure that Tie Xuan would drive the Huang family to their deaths.

Therefore, no one showed mercy.

And many people had greedy expressions in their eyes.

The name of the number one family in Ping An County was not for nothing. Besides the Huang family's strength, there was also the Huang family's wealth, controlling most of the northern part of the city in Ping An County.

There, the Huang family's words were more effective than the government's!

"Sir, this is the Huang family's matriarch..." Zhao Yang stepped forward and pointed to the middle-aged woman sitting expressionlessly in the center of the hall.

Tie Xuan raised his hand and said indifferently:

"I certainly recognize Madam Huang."

Zhao Yang smiled obsequiously, lowered his head, and closely followed Tie Xuan.

With Huang Xing's death, Tie Xuan's position in the entire Ping An County Yamen would be greatly improved. In addition to the county magistrate's appreciation, as long as he pleased this man, he would definitely be safe and worry-free in the future.

"Madam Huang, Tie Xuan greets you."

Tie Xuan casually cupped his hands, his eyes somewhat playful.

The middle-aged woman in luxurious clothes stared directly at Tie Xuan:

"Officer Tie, you have good means. In such a short time, you have destroyed my Huang family's century-old foundation."

"It's not that I have good means, it's that the Huang family was courting death, daring to collude with the Eternal Life Sect's bandits. They deserved to die!"

"Hmph!"

Madam Huang stared at Tie Xuan, snorted coldly, and moved her mouth, as if she had bitten something. A wisp of black blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth.

Tie Xuan's expression turned cold:

"Madam Huang, have a safe journey. When you get to the underworld, don't rush to reincarnate, wait for Master Huang to join you."

Madam Huang spat a mouthful of black blood on Tie Xuan, closed her eyes, and collapsed on the chair. Tie Xuan flicked his long spear, tossing the corpse aside, and sat down on it in a commanding manner.

The sounds of killing within the Huang family continued, and the thick black smoke was somewhat conspicuous even in the gradually darkening night.

"Has Huang Erlang been found yet?"

Tie Xuan frowned, somewhat displeased.

Huang Erlang was a well-known genius in Ping An County. At only sixteen years old, he had stepped into the Blood Refining realm. Even the major sects in the martial world had a chance to enter.

It could be said that, apart from Huang Shengnian and Huang Xing, the person Tie Xuan wanted to kill the most was Huang Erlang.

Huang Xing still understood the principle of not bullying a poor youth.

With such talent, it was necessary to nip it in the bud. Otherwise, he might become a confidant of his in the future!

"Sir, we have already tortured some of the Huang family members, but... they don't know where Huang Erlang is hiding." A yamen runner lowered his head, somewhat nervous.

"Useless!"

Tie Xuan stood up, his face gloomy.

"Could it be that he already left the Huang family before?" Zhao Yang quickly said.

Tie Xuan took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and said in a low voice:

"Even if we dig three feet into the ground, we must find him!"
