"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The yamen runners all acknowledged the order and left.

Once all the yamen runners had departed, leaving only Zhao Yang and Chen Yuan with Tie Xuan, Chen Yuan slowly walked to Tie Xuan's side and lowered his voice, saying:

"My Lord, the Huang residence is completely surrounded. With Huang Family Second Son's strength, it would be impossible for him to escape."

Tie Xuan glanced at Chen Yuan. Su Dan Novel Network

"What are your thoughts?"

"This humble officer believes that Huang Family Second Son is most likely still hiding somewhere within the Huang residence, probably waiting for us to spread out so he can escape."

Zhao Yang glared at Chen Yuan from the side.

Chen Yuan's words were a complete rejection of him.

"Then where do you think Huang Family Second Son is hiding?" Tie Xuan looked at Chen Yuan, seemingly wanting to hear his insights.

"As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Madam Huang was sitting in the main hall for no reason, waiting for you, my Lord. Perhaps... it's because she just hid Huang Family Second Son and hasn't had time to leave yet."

Chen Yuan said in a low voice.

From the moment he entered the Huang residence, Chen Yuan had kept his Dharma Eyes open. And it was in the main hall that Chen Yuan saw a fleeting flash of clear light.

Chen Yuan had experimented before. Besides being able to see whether someone possessed fortune, his Heavenly Eye Divine Art could also see the opportunities guided by the Fortune Altar.

For example, with the incomplete Diamond Glazed Body technique in his possession, he could see a flash of light as long as he used his Heavenly Eye.

By analogy, either the Marrow Cleansing Spirit Pearl is hidden in this main hall, or the person hidden here possesses fortune. Chen Yuan leaned towards the former.

"You mean to say that Huang Family Second Son is currently hiding in this main hall?" Zhao Yang's tone was somewhat mocking, believing that Chen Yuan's words were completely unfounded.

The Huang family is under siege; how could the young master of the Huang family be hiding here?

Chen Yuan ignored Zhao Yang and looked at Tie Xuan.

Tie Xuan narrowed his eyes, raised his hand to silence Zhao Yang, and looked around the main hall before finally focusing his gaze on a landscape painting in the center.

Then, he threw his spear, piercing the landscape painting. The spearhead sank in three feet. Tie Xuan grabbed the spear's tail and swung it forcefully.

"Boom!"

The wooden wall instantly exploded.

The next moment.

A flash of sword light streaked towards Tie Xuan's head.

Tie Xuan's pupils constricted. He borrowed strength from his feet and retreated three steps. His gaze sharpened as he reached Zhao Yang's side and directly drew the long saber from his hand, deflecting the incoming long sword.

"Huang Family Second Son!"

Tie Xuan narrowed his eyes, a hint of a cold smile on his lips.

Huang Family Second Son had an air of resolute madness about him. His appearance was slightly delicate and youthful, but his strength was not to be underestimated. Chen Yuan felt that his sword strike just now marked him as a master in the Blood Refining Realm.

"Tie Xuan, you deserve to die!" Huang Family Second Son said with a cold snort.

"I don't know if I deserve to die, but the Huang family will definitely die..."

A look of embarrassment flashed across Zhao Yang's face. He had just questioned Chen Yuan's judgment, but he was proven wrong in the next moment.

"Tie Xuan, prepare to die!"

Huang Family Second Son flicked his sword, twirling it into a sword flower, and thrust it directly at Tie Xuan.

Chen Yuan gripped his saber hilt and was about to step forward, but Tie Xuan raised his hand and said in a low voice:

"No need to interfere. I've long heard that Huang Family Second Son's strength is extraordinary, that he's Ping An County's number one genius. Today, I'll measure his skills myself."

After saying that, Tie Xuan stepped forward and deflected the long sword with his saber. The powerful strength caused Huang Family Second Son's expression to change. He raised his leg and kicked at Tie Xuan's chest.

"Bang!"

Tie Xuan's expression remained unchanged as he calmly threw out a punch.

Fists and legs collided, producing a muffled thud. Huang Family Second Son flew backward, staggering several steps on the ground. His face was contorted, and he supported his right leg with one hand. Chen Yuan could see that a layer of cold sweat had broken out on Huang Family Second Son's forehead, and his right leg was trembling uncontrollably.

"Just this much? Just like Huang Shengnian, that dog thing. You're a waste..." Tie Xuan sneered, a hint of ridicule on his face. Then, he threw his long saber directly.

Huang Family Second Son dodged to the side, and the blade grazed his left arm, tearing his clothes and causing fresh blood to drip.

Tie Xuan didn't give Huang Family Second Son any chance. He slammed a long leg into his body, causing several ribs to snap with a series of 'cracks'.

Tie Xuan stepped on Huang Family Second Son's chest expressionlessly. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt something hard under his foot. His brows furrowed, and he bent down to take it out.

Huang Family Second Son turned his right palm into a claw and grabbed towards Tie Xuan's face, but he casually grabbed it and twisted it backward, breaking Huang Family Second Son's arm and eliciting a howl of pain.

"What is this thing?"

Tie Xuan took out a black wooden box from Huang Family Second Son's chest. The style was somewhat ancient and looked like it had been around for some time. He narrowed his eyes and asked the Huang Family Second Son on the ground.

"Pah!"

Huang Family Second Son spat a mouthful of blood at Tie Xuan's leg.

"Courting death!"

Tie Xuan raised his right leg and stomped down fiercely.

"Ah... ah..."

Huang Family Second Son's eyes widened, and he let out a painful roar.

His previously injured right leg was completely shattered, a bloody mess.

Tie Xuan threw the object in the box to Zhao Yang and said in a low voice:

"Open it and take a look..."

He was really afraid that it was some kind of hidden weapon inside. It would be a joke if he fell victim to it.

Zhao Yang gritted his teeth, not daring to refuse. He took the box a little further away and opened it gently.

"Crack..."

Inside the wooden box, a black pearl the size of a baby's fist rested quietly. It had a delicate luster all over, looking extremely extraordinary.

"My Lord, it's... it's a black pearl!"

Zhao Yang said quickly.

"Bring it here..." Tie Xuan reached out.

Zhao Yang took small steps forward and presented the box to Tie Xuan with both hands.

Neither of them noticed that the moment Chen Yuan saw the pearl, a faint green light flashed in his eyes. Then, he moved closer imperceptibly.

Tie Xuan frowned and picked up the black pearl, examining it from all angles. He even put it to his nose and mouth to smell it, but it had no scent at all.

He looked coldly at Huang Family Second Son on the ground, whose face was twisted in pain, and asked:

"If you don't want to suffer the pain of broken bones again, then honestly tell me the origin of this thing, otherwise..."

Although Tie Xuan didn't know what the black pearl was, the fact that Huang Family Second Son kept it close to his chest without any gold or silver jewelry proved that it was definitely an extraordinary treasure.

"Even if you kill me, I won't tell you!" Huang Family Second Son looked at Tie Xuan's eyes with resentment and said each word distinctly.

Tie Xuan sneered:

"Alright, then I'll kill you. Do you think I can't find out if you don't tell me?"

Tie Xuan raised his leg, just about to stomp down heavily, when Chen Yuan's voice suddenly sounded:

"My Lord, this humble officer finds this thing somewhat familiar."

Tie Xuan raised an eyebrow and said:

"Oh? You recognize it?"

"It just looks a little familiar, as if I saw it in a book..."

"Then come closer and take a closer look."
