Huang Linhao stood outside the iron cage, his face full of excitement and thrill, and sneered, ”Ye, did you think our Huang Family members are fools, allowing you to come and go as you please? Hmph, when we captured your brother and these two people, we already had a plan to deal with you. We deliberately exposed the Shan De Tea House, and we also guessed that you would definitely go to find Yang Tianyun first to inquire about the Huang Family. So, we had already talked to Yang Tianyun, asking him to lure you here. Did Yang Tianyun tell you that I am Huang Wuxing’s son? Hahaha, Ye, how could I let others take revenge for me? I deliberately had him say that I’m Huang Wuxing’s son just to deceive you, to lure you personally into this Huang Family dungeon.”

Ye Qing’s face was gloomy. In fact, when Huang Linhao mentioned earlier that he was Huang Yidao’s son, Ye Qing had already guessed that he had been deceived from the start. In other words, Yang Tianyun was also part of their plan, and everything Yang Tianyun said was actually an answer that the Huang Family had arranged in advance.

”Ye, they say your strategies are unparalleled, but in my opinion, it’s nothing special!” Huang Linhao laughed wildly, ”I used a little trick to get you running around in circles. Now that you’re in our hands, I can finally avenge my father!”

Ye Qing looked at Huang Linhao coldly, his expression icy, and said in a deep voice, ”A mere trick? Hmph, with just you, you don’t have the skill to deceive me here. This matter is not something your Huang Family could achieve. Go bring Wang Tian’an and Xu Cunxiao here. I want to ask them whether this was under Ning Qianshu’s instructions or of their own accord!”

Huang Linhao’s face changed, and he looked at Ye Qing in shock, saying in a deep voice, ”You... how do you know Xu Cunxiao is here?”

This sentence was actually Ye Qing deliberately testing Huang Linhao, because he knew that Wang Tian’an alone wouldn’t be able to come up with such a strategy. However, Xu Cunxiao, who was by Wang Tian’an’s side, was different. Xu Cunxiao was insidious and resourceful, a formidable opponent, and this kind of strategy was likely thought up by Xu Cunxiao. So Ye Qing said it casually, not expecting Xu Cunxiao to actually be here.

Upon hearing this news, Ye Qing felt somewhat regretful. Because this matter involved Ye Jun Black Bear and Liu Mubai, Ye Qing was eager to save them and didn’t think too much. If he had thought more at the time, he wouldn’t have fallen into this predicament.

Seeing that Ye Qing did not answer, Huang Linhao immediately became angry, ”Hmph, Ye, at this point, whether it’s Ning Qianshu’s instruction or not, you’re in the hands of our Huang Family. Do you think you can get out of here alive? Ye, however, you killed my father, I will repay you a hundredfold!”

While the two were speaking, Fu Qingping said nothing. He slowly turned to the side stone wall, reaching out to it to see if he could break through it. But as his palm hit it, only a dull thud was heard, and his face could not help but change.

”Don’t bother trying.” Huang Linhao saw Fu Qingping’s actions and sneered, ”This stone chamber, except for this iron fence, is blocked by tens of thousands of pounds of giant stones. Even the ceiling above you is pressed with over two feet thick steel plates. Don’t even mention a few people, even that Corpse Ghost Dragon can’t come out if it’s inside here!”

Fu Qingping’s face changed. He had sensed from the test just now that the walls of this stone chamber were indeed not something that could be broken with brute force. Even with his peak abilities, even though the Qingping Sword was a famed instrument, in the midst of such thick walls, it was completely useless, and they were completely trapped inside.

Ye Qing saw Fu Qingping’s expression and knew that escaping was almost impossible. Looking at his brother beside him, he couldn’t help but sigh. Dying wasn’t much of an issue, but affecting Fu Qingping and getting him trapped here was what he felt most guilty about.

”Huang Linhao, grudges have a rightful owner. I killed Huang Yidao. If you want revenge, come at me and let the others go!” Ye Qing said in a deep voice.

No sooner had Ye Qing finished speaking when Black Bear immediately stood up, shouting loudly, ”Captain, I ain’t afraid of dying!”

”Brother, I’m not afraid of death either!” Ye Jun also stood up, looking angrily at Huang Linhao outside, yelling, ”If you have the guts, let us out, and let’s have a good fight!”

Huang Linhao sneered, ”Not being afraid to die doesn’t mean you won’t die. Rest assured, everyone in this cell will die. So, Ye Qing, don’t worry too much, you’ll all be heading down the road together!”

Ye Qing’s face turned cold, looking toward Fu Qingping. The person he felt most guilty about was Fu Qingping. This matter was his responsibility, and it ended up dragging his mentor Fu Qingping into it, which naturally made Ye Qing feel deeply remorseful.

Fu Qingping saw Ye Qing’s thoughts and smiled slightly, saying, ”Life and death are fated, wealth and honor are in the heavens. If I really die here, it means I wasn’t meant to live longer, so no need to be sorrowful.”

Ye Qing’s face was filled with gratitude, knowing that Fu Qingping was comforting him. He turned to Huang Linhao and said solemnly, ”Huang Linhao, I know you’re not in charge here. Go and call someone who is, don’t waste time here.”

Huang Linhao felt anger in his heart, but Ye Qing was right, he was indeed not in charge here. Although he was Huang Yidao’s biological son, just as Yang Tianyun had said before, now in the Huang Family, it was no longer his place to take charge.

”You all just wait!” Huang Linhao gritted his teeth and said, ”Once the ancestor arrives, that’s your death day!”

After speaking, Huang Linhao turned and walked straight out of the dungeon. Just outside the dungeon, there was a patrolling guard passing by, and Huang Linhao stopped them, saying sternly, ”Go quickly to inform the ancestor, saying that Ye Qing has been captured!”

This patrol of guards was overjoyed and ran to the building where the ancestor lived, relaying the matter to him. The ancestor, upon receiving the news, was naturally very excited and hurriedly brought people to head towards the dungeon, and the entire manor became lively for a moment.

Outside the manor, Old Wang Ba was lying on a giant rock, watching the situation inside the manor. Seeing the crowd rushing out, Old Wang Ba couldn’t help but slap his forehead urgently, saying, ”This isn’t good, it seems Ye Qing has been caught! What should we do?”

Not far behind Old Wang Ba, Du Canglang was sitting cross-legged, also observing the situation inside the manor. Upon seeing the hurried crowd and hearing Old Wang Ba’s words, he immediately frowned. Judging by the situation, something major must have happened inside the manor. Could it really be as Old Wang Ba said, that Ye Qing was caught by the Huang Family?

After a moment of silence, Du Canglang suddenly turned around and stealthily sneaked into the manor from another dark area. He was following Old Wang Ba to find Ye Qing, and now, having gotten news of Ye Qing, it was natural to go capture Ye Qing first.

The manor was chaotic, and with Du Canglang’s formidable strength, passing through the manor went unnoticed. As soon as he entered the manor, he saw an elderly man accompanied by a few people heading quickly towards the dungeon. Du Canglang recognized this elderly man, it was Huang Yunfeng, someone he had met several times in the past. Although Huang Yunfeng was a Peak Master, his strength was nowhere near Du Canglang’s, so Du Canglang didn’t perceive him as a threat.

Seeing Huang Yunfeng appear, Du Canglang knew Ye Qing must be locked in the dungeon.

However, Du Canglang did not head directly to the dungeon. He hid in a dark place and saw that in the northeast corner of the manor, there was a man directing the crowd. Judging by this man’s stance, he seemed to be of a relatively high status within the Huang Family.

Du Canglang approached this man from another direction, walking right up behind him. Yet this man was completely unaware. Du Canglang tapped the man’s shoulder, making the man turn around, initially thinking it was a family member playing a joke. However, upon turning, he saw an unfamiliar person, first stunned, then his face changed and he pointed at Du Canglang, about to speak, but Du Canglang instantly pressed an acupoint on his chest. The man was immediately immobilized, unable to move a finger.

All around, people were hurriedly rushing about, no one noticing the man controlled by Du Canglang. Moreover, in such darkness, unless someone was right in front of Du Canglang, few could even discern Du Canglang’s appearance. Seeing him standing with this man, others assumed he was also part of the family.

Taking advantage of not being noticed, Du Canglang dragged the man into a rear pavilion. Fortunately, there was no one in the pavilion. Du Canglang slipped into a secluded room and untied the man’s acupoint.

As soon as the man’s acupoint was released, he immediately took a swipe at Du Canglang. However, how could he be a match for Du Canglang? With a flick of Du Canglang’s two fingers on the man’s wrist, his wrist bone was instantly broken. The pain made him open his mouth to scream, but then Du Canglang tapped his neck, leaving his mouth wide open yet unable to make any sound.

”If you don’t want to die, then behave.” Du Canglang grabbed the man and said coldly, ”I have a few questions for you. Answer honestly, otherwise, I’ll cripple you first!”

The man’s wrist bone was broken, causing him cold sweats from pain, his whole body trembling. At this moment, he realized the vast difference between his strength and Du Canglang’s. He looked at Du Canglang and gritted his teeth, saying, ”Sir, you are a senior expert, yet you take action against a junior. If this spreads, it would be a laughing stock, wouldn’t it? Now, our Huang Family is presided over by our senior Huang Yunfeng, why don’t you directly ask him?”

”Don’t use Huang Yunfeng to scare me!” Du Canglang said coldly, ”When I was roaming the world, he wasn’t even worthy to carry my shoes!”
