Secrets of the World

The enemy leader saw the incoming Sima and Nangong Families. His lips which were covered by a mask twitched in annoyance. He then dashed forward and slashed his sword.

Situ Lengyun instinctively evaded the attack, but then he felt that something was wrong. 

"Slash!" The enemy leader's attack was not meant for him! But it was actually aimed for his son, the patriarch of the Situ Family, Situ Shengong.

"Aaarrrghh!" Situ Shengong knelt on the ground. A long line of a deep wound that stretched from his right shoulder towards the left part of his lower hips can be seen. His internal organs can also be seen sticking out as blood flowed ceaselessly from the cut. 

"Thud!" Situ Shengong dropped to the ground, his fate unknown. But even if he was still alive, he won't last for much longer.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The fighters from the Sima and Nangong Families fired their guns wildly towards the robed individuals. 

"Let's depart for now! We can kill them next time!" The enemy leader shouted an order towards his men. He then grabbed a small circular object from his robes and threw it on the ground. A bright flash of white light emerged after the object hit the ground, making everyone inside the mansion close their eyes. 

After more than ten seconds, they opened their eyes slowly, but the assassins were no longer there. 

They walked towards the bodies of the A-Class fighters and check if some were still alive, but all of them were already dead. 

"Grand Patriarch Lengyun, sorry we were late. We could have caught them if we arrived a bit earlier!" Sima Yantong clenched his fists tightly as he glanced at the dead fighters of the Situ Family. Both their families might have some misunderstandings in the past, but it did not reach the point where they would kill each other.

The Nangong Family's patriarch sighed in pity as he glanced at the old Grand Patriarch of the Situ Family.  

"My son! Shengong! Aarrgghh!!" Situ Lengyun knelt on the ground and held the bloodied body of Situ Shengong. The former did not seem to mind the blood and internal organs as he hugged the body of his dead son. 

"Why do you have to die before me?!" Situ Lengyun's body slowly morphed back to his original form as he sobbed with extreme sorrow. He spat a mouthful of blood, but he continued holding his son's body as if it was the most precious thing in the world. 

"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Situ Lengyun coughed heavily as if he was on his last breath. 

The Nangong Family patriarch stepped forward and wanted to help the old man, but a hand grabbed his shoulder. He then saw Sima Yantong shaking his head with a look of sadness. The Nangong Family patriarch sighed and just consoled the Situ Family with his gaze filled with pity.

"Cough! Cough! Blergh!" Situ Lengyun coughed more blood, but he did not move. His tears never stopped from falling and continued sobbing mournful cries. 

"Screech!"

"Screech!"

"Screech!"

The people suddenly heard the sound of several cars braking forcefully. They glanced outside and saw a man with a silver wolf mask leading a group of more than thirty people. Each of them emitted strong auras as if they were a group of starved lions.

They saw Wolf King signaling the men behind him with his hands. The strong men behind him seemed to understand the hand signals and moved towards separate directions. 

"Father!" Sima Ying ran towards his father and hugged him tightly. She did not even care about her image and just hugged her father tightly.

Sima Yantong patted his daughter's back and pushed her lightly. "Little Ying, I'm surprised that you arrived here and even Wolf King accompanied you." Sima Yantong glanced at the frowning Wolf King. He then saw the latter crouch down and scrutinize the sword wounds of Situ Family's A-Class level fighters.

"They were all killed by S-Class fighters and based on the amount of aura that I can feel here, there were at the very least twenty who came and attacked this place." Sima Yantong and the others were quite shock at Wolf King's words. After checking the dead bodies of the fighters from the Situ Family, he was able to give an almost accurate finding of the battle that happened. 

"This aura... It's really them!" Wolf King was not able to mask his voice and said what was in his mind.

Situ Lengyun's body jolted as if he was electrocuted. He then gently put down the body of his son on the ground. He turned his head and glanced at the silver-haired man questioningly.

"You... You know who did this?! Cough! Cough!" Situ Lengyun's body almost dropped on the ground but a silhouette caught him before his fall.

Situ Lengyun slowly glanced at the man who held him and saw the seriousness on his silver eyes.

"I have been looking for them for quite some time. And it seems that they are finally making their move." Wolf King spoke slowly and felt that the old man he was holding was getting weaker and weaker. He thought about giving him a glass of Heavenly Spring Water, but it would only prolong his agony. He might live for another day, but the pain would still be there.

The water might be immortal-level, but it can only cure small bullet wounds and erases fatigue, but Situ Lengyun was severely injured and he also exhausted all his origin essence. Even if drank several glasses of Heavenly Spring Water, he would still die.

"Grand Patriarch Lengyun, do you have wishes before you leave?" Wolf King whispered silently so that only Situ Lengyun will hear his voice.

"The... There is... is a young man.. family... He is hope... of Situ Family... Situ Qinfeng... train.... into becoming...patria--" Situ Lengyun's head hang weakly and the light on his eyes was gone. He was not even able to finish the words he wanted to say. 

"I promise, I will train this Situ Qinfeng and make him a student of my Tyrannical Tower. Rest in peace Grand Patriarch Lengyun." Wolf King gently laid the dead body of the old man on the floor. 

Wolf King stood up and glanced at the Sima and Nangong Families' people. His expression was cold and detached as he spoke to them. "If you don't want this to happen to both your families, bring all your members on the tower. I also have some things to discuss with both of you patriarchs. This concerns not just the safety of our groups, but the safety of the whole world."

Everyone's expressions turned cold and they felt that they have learned the hidden secrets of the world that they should not have learned.

And they were right...
