Chapter 51: Master, Trouble Ahead

"His attack level has reached Peak Martialist!"

Su Lang raised an eyebrow in pleasant surprise. "It seems these body tempering techniques enhance strength too! Furthermore, the other three attributes have all reached High Martialist level. This is fantastic!"

Filled with excitement, Su Lang once again focused his gaze on Yang Shi and his companions.

"Gulp!"

Under Su Lang's intense scrutiny, Yang Shi struggled to swallow a mouthful of saliva.

In his eyes, Su Lang had already become a monster!

The other three martialists felt similarly, their bodies stiff with tension, their necks nearly unable to turn.

"Now, follow my subordinates to the Qingkan Deer Area," Su Lang said with a faint smile. "I'm in a good mood. If you behave yourselves, I won't make things difficult for you."

"Yes, yes!" Yang Shi's trembling lips managed to utter, "We... will definitely cooperate!"

With a smirk, Su Lang turned and departed.

His black-robed subordinate also headed towards the Qingkan Deer Area, and Yang Shi and the others immediately followed, hearts trembling.

Meanwhile, on another front, a messenger rushed into the stronghold, immediately attracting attention.

"Isn't that one of Yang Family's guards?"

"Why is he rushing like that? Wait, he's injured!"

"I saw him this morning accompanying Young Master Yang for hunting. Looks like something has gone wrong!"

"Oh no! Young Master Yang has four junior martialists guarding him! How dangerous could it be outside the city, even for junior martialists who might get trapped in perilous places?"

As people discussed, the messenger had already disappeared from their sight.

About half an hour later, the messenger finally arrived at Yang Family's estate.

"Quick! Let me in!"

At the gate, the messenger panted heavily as he approached the gatekeeper.

"The Master is hosting guests!"

The gatekeeper stared in shock at the guard covered in blood. "What happened? Where is the young master!?"

He had a bad feeling about this.

Urgently, the messenger said, "We've provoked a formidable opponent, and the young master has been detained!"

"What? The young master detained!?"

The gatekeeper was momentarily stunned. He couldn't fathom who would dare to detain the young master of the Yang Family.

"No time to waste! Let me through!" The messenger lost patience and pushed the gatekeeper aside, running towards the main mansion.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Seeing this, the gatekeeper immediately followed.

Inside the courtyard.

A small yet luxurious banquet was in progress.

Seated were either formidable warriors or dignitaries of high status.

"Come, come, everyone, this toast is for all of you!"

Yang Family's Master, Yang Tianrui, stood up and invited the guests to drink.

"Master, there's trouble!"

The messenger burst in, shouting as he entered the courtyard.

"Didn't I say no one is allowed to disturb me and the guests?" Yang Tianrui's face darkened, erupting in anger. "How dare you barge in like this? Guards, lock him up in the dungeon and await my judgment!"

Among the guests were even members of the Ye Family. How could they tolerate such a disturbance?

Moreover, this messenger's unruly entry reflected poorly on Yang Tianrui's leadership, making him lose face and appear incompetent.

"Get out of here!"

"Hurry up and leave. If you have anything to say, wait until later."

Two guards frowned and were about to kick the frightened messenger out.

"Wait a minute."

A young man in purple robes stood up and waved his hand, showing concern. "This warrior seems injured. There must be an urgent matter. If there's a reason for this intrusion, we won't blame you."

Turning hopeful eyes towards Yang Tianrui, the messenger spoke up.

"Since Young Master Ye Lingfeng has spoken, I'll give you a chance."

Yang Tianrui nodded. "Speak up. If this is some trivial matter, I won't spare you."

"Master, it's the young master who's in trouble!"

The messenger knelt on the ground, his face filled with sorrow. "We've provoked a powerful foe, and they've detained the young master!"
