Chapter 65: Wanted Poster

"Yes, I am Su Lang."

Su Lang smiled faintly. "How does it feel? Surprised to find out it's me?"

With these words, the messenger turned even paler.

Meanwhile, the bystanders who were secretly watching were struck with realization and awe.

"He's actually Su Lang!"

"No wonder... no wonder he dares to slaughter members of the Ye family at will!"

"Incredible. Su Lang is definitely the most amazing person I've ever seen. I admire him so much!"

"Yeah, the way he drew his sword was just incredibly cool!"

...

As people discussed, Su Lang calmly walked up to the messenger and took out a wanted poster from his hand.

On the poster was his portrait, vivid and lifelike.

Beside the portrait was Su Lang's name, described as an irredeemably wicked person, with a reward of fifty thousand gold coins for his capture.

"Fifty thousand gold coins? Not even enough to upgrade a system function."

Su Lang chuckled. "Is this all the mighty Ye family is willing to offer?"

With that, he tossed the wanted poster into the blood-stained ground and turned to the messenger.

"What do you want to do?"

The messenger was speechless, trembling all over, even his heartbeat paused for a moment!

"Don't worry, I won't kill you."

Su Lang smiled faintly. "Go back and tell your master to enjoy his last days of happiness. I, Su Lang, will soon pay him a visit."

"Gulp."

The messenger looked at the corpses around him, swallowed hard, and said, "Okay, I'll go back and report to my master."

With that, he mustered all his strength and left this hellish place without looking back.

"My apologies for keeping you waiting, Lord Ye Huai."

Su Lang walked leisurely up to Ye Huai, a cruel smile playing on his lips.

"Please spare... spare my life..."

Ye Huai pleaded in terror, shaking with fear, his teeth chattering.

"You offended me, and you still want to live?"

Su Lang's indifferent voice sounded like a devil's whisper from the abyss.

He could spare the messenger, but he couldn't forgive Ye Huai for laying his hands on young girls!

"I... I... I want to live!"

Ye Huai cried miserably. "I'll do anything, just spare my miserable life!"

"In that case, you know where all the wealth of the stronghold is, right? Speak up, and I might consider sparing your wretched life."

Su Lang's lips curled into a faint smile. "Otherwise, if you try any tricks after agreeing, I'll slice you up alive as you suggested and feed you to the dogs!"

"Absolutely! Absolutely won't dare! I... I'll tell you now!"

Ye Huai was so scared that he could barely articulate his words.

Soon after, trembling with fear, he revealed the location and method to obtain all the wealth of the stronghold.

For Ye Huai, there were no secrets about the Golden Flame Leopard stronghold. After all, he was the second in command there and the beloved younger brother of Ye Zong.

After speaking, Ye Huai awaited Su Lang's judgment as if sitting on pins and needles.

"Very well, come with me."

Su Lang glanced at Ye Huai, tallying up the plundered goods from earlier, and walked towards the stronghold.

As he watched Su Lang's back, Ye Huai couldn't help but entertain thoughts of escape. But seeing the bodies on the ground, he shivered and cautiously followed Su Lang's steps.

Soon, Su Lang arrived outside the stronghold.

By now, he had counted the spoils from killing Ye Zong and others: a total of 1632 gold coins, various materials, weapons, and a few elixirs.

Su Lang smirked and entered the stronghold.

By this time, news of Ye Zong's death and others had spread, leaving the place deserted within a short time.

"Take me to the secret treasury where the gold coins are stored."

Su Lang glanced at Ye Huai and said calmly.

"The treasury is this way, please follow me."

Ye Huai forced a stiff smile and cautiously led the way ahead.
