I set off a bomb in the hall with that one sentence, and several of the younger generation slammed the table and stood up.

A young man sitting next to the vice sect leader of Gouchen Gate chuckled, "What an arrogant bastard! When did such a big shot appear in the provincial capital? But no matter how big a shot you are, you're about to die. Let's see how long you can be arrogant."

My face immediately darkened. If I was just angry before, now I was determined to kill. "I need you to explain to me, what do you mean I'm about to die?"

The man laughed, "What's wrong? Scared? Where's that arrogance you had when you first walked in? If you're scared, kneel down and beg daddy to spare you!"

That man's last sentence touched my reverse scale (sensitive point), and a cold light flashed in my eyes as Zi Ye's blade tip pierced into the other person's mouth.

I stopped my hand three inches into his mouth, and raised my eyes to look at the young masters of the provincial capital's esoteric community.

The expressions of the people in the room changed drastically at first, but when they saw me stop the knife, they revealed an expression of watching a show.

They thought that my knife was just a bluff, that I didn't dare to push the knife forward at all. Stopping now was just to wait for someone to give me a way out, so I could back down gracefully.

So, they all looked at me with smiling faces and didn't speak, their purpose being to make it impossible for me to step down.

Old Liu wanted to speak, but after being glared at by me, he obediently closed his mouth. He knew that today's matter would be difficult to resolve peacefully.

I lowered my head to look at the person I was holding with the knife, "Do you know why I'm not drawing the knife?"

The man couldn't speak, but his eyes were full of contempt. I stared directly into the other person's eyes and continued, "I'm casting a spell on the knife to cut off your soul's tongue as well, so that you won't be able to speak in your next life."

As the killing intent in my eyes soared, the man's face finally changed. He raised his hand to ask for help, but the Zi Ye in my hand spun and flew up in his mouth.

Amidst the blood flowers flying wildly, the tip of Zi Ye's blade pierced through the back of the man's head, and everyone present was dumbfounded.

The vice sect leader was stunned for a few seconds before screaming, "You dare to kill our young master!"

"I dare to kill you too!" I moved slightly, and was already standing in front of the other person, grabbing the other person's throat with one hand, "Back then, when you were showing off your power in my home, I shouldn't have let you go. Otherwise, there wouldn't be today's trouble!"

As soon as I finished speaking, my five fingers closed, crushing the other person's throat.

I killed two people in less than ten seconds, and the entire reception hall became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

When I turned around and glared at the people present, someone suddenly raised his head and spat out a mouthful of blood. The scarlet blood flowers scattered like mist in the sky, and more than a dozen people in the hall all fell to the ground, spitting blood.

Old Liu's expression changed drastically, "Not good, we've been tricked!"

I took off the Nine-Ring Life Severing Blade and placed it on the table, then pulled out a chair and sat down again, "Old Liu, take care of Yun Chang. Zhang Fang! In a while, I might not be able to take care of you."

The reason I could sit down calmly wasn't because I was so arrogant that I didn't take the esoteric community of the provincial capital seriously, but because since the opponent had set a trap for me, they wouldn't let me escape easily.

If I got up and ran, I would likely be blocked in the corridor, and in that case, I would be even less able to take care of Old Liu and Yun Chang.

Not long after I sat down, the gate of the reception hall was surrounded by people, and all the well-known figures of the provincial capital's esoteric community appeared at the door.

These people were obviously stunned by the scene in front of them, and no one said a word for a long time. Finally, someone shouted sternly, "Li Po! What's going on?"

I said calmly, "I killed those two people over there, and the rest died from spitting blood. I think such a big hotel should have surveillance equipment in the reception hall, right? Ask the hotel staff to pull up the surveillance and take a look, and you'll know."

"Yuehai Tower has no surveillance. This is a rule that was established at the beginning of Yuehai Tower's construction." A middle-aged man walked out from behind the crowd.

Old Liu whispered in my ear, "This is Ma Jiang, the vice landlord of Yuehai Tower."

I frowned slightly. On closer thought, Yuehai Tower's arrangement wasn't a problem. Although Yuehai Tower followed the ways of the jianghu, it couldn't compete with the law after all.

When the authorities asked them to provide surveillance footage, Yuehai Tower couldn't refuse, so they simply didn't install surveillance.

I looked at Ma Jiang and said, "Since there is no surveillance here, then let's change the question. I agreed to meet with the heads of the various esoteric families at ten o'clock, but after I came in, there were only second-generation disciples from each faction here."

"I think the fact that you heads of families came in so accurately was deliberately arranged by someone, right?"

Ma Jiang's face darkened, "What do you mean? Are you saying that our Yuehai Tower deliberately framed you? Let me tell you, you're not qualified for that."

As my gaze sank slightly, Old Liu quickly tapped me on the back, "Don't be impulsive, let's talk reasonably."

I suppressed my anger and said, "I didn't say that Yuehai Tower framed me, but the people in Yuehai Tower might be bribed. Lord Ma, shouldn't you investigate?"
