Beautiful CEO’s Top Martial Expert

Chapter 720: Chapter 718 Various Parties Shaken

However, Xiao Yifeng and his team did not leave any clues behind; they had cleaned up all traces, so even now, there are only a few people who know that this sensational event was his doing.

North, in Jinling.

In a room where luxury was interlaced with nobility, and elegance tinged with beauty, Yan Ruyu, who had previously appeared at Ye Corporation, stood barefoot in front of a window, quietly observing the scenery outside.

Behind Yan Ruyu stood the two constant companions always seen by her side, both dressed in cheongsams embroidered with orchids and plum blossoms.

”Any leads? Who did it?”

Yan Ruyu’s lightly purple lips parted gently as she spoke softly.

”No clues were left at the scene; we have yet to find out who did it. However, to annihilate the Flame Gate overnight, the force must be considerable and the opponent likely has many strong ones among them.”

”There are signs of intense battles at the scene, and we’ve also found out that just the day before the Flame Gate was destroyed, several of their war generals took men into Tianhai and made a move against the Ye Family.”

The woman wearing the orchid-embroidered cheongsam bowed as she reported.

”The Ye Family? Could it be his doing!”

A strange light flickered in Yan Ruyu’s eyes.

”It seems he has indeed changed beyond recognition!”

Yan Ruyu smiled faintly.

In Dragon City, at the Yue Family Manor, the place was now a pile of ruins, the air saturated with the thick scent of charring, and remnants of fierce battles still lingered around, with corpses already cleared away by the police.

Song Yue’s figure appeared here, gazing at the scene before him with a somewhat blank look and an exceedingly complex expression.

”In the end, you still died!”

Song Yue murmured to himself.

”How did this happen? What exactly took place?”

Just then, an ice-cold shout rang out. Song Yue turned to see two middle-aged men, wearing long robes and sporting traditional long hair, appear before him. Witnessing the scene, their eyes were filled with indescribable shock.

”Boy, who are you and what are you doing here? Tell me, what exactly happened to the Yue Family?”

One of the middle-aged men gazed at Song Yue, his eyes hardened, and a terrifying pressure enshrouded him, causing him to kneel on the spot, shivering uncontrollably.

”You... are you people from the Fiery Flame Sect?”

Song Yue looked at the men with flickering eyes.

”Who are you? How do you know of the Fiery Flame Sect?”

The two men scrutinized Song Yue as they spoke coldly.

”I am a subordinate of the Flame Gate’s Sect Leader named Song Yue. I was tasked with protecting Young Master Yue Feng. Last night, the Flame Gate was attacked by a group of people; the Sect Leader unfortunately was killed, and even the madam, she was also... brutally murdered by those people.”

As Song Yue spoke, a sorrowful expression emerged in his eyes.

”What? The miss has died!”

Upon hearing of Shi Ruqian’s death, the faces of the two Fiery Flame Sect middle-aged men changed greatly, their eyes brimming with shock.

Shi Ruqian was the only sister of their Sect Master; now that she was dead, they could imagine the furious rage the Sect Master would display upon hearing the news.

”Take this boy with us. Explain everything to the Sect Master clearly!”

One of the middle-aged men spoke, and the other nodded. Immediately, they took Song Yue with them, leaving the place and returning to the Fiery Flame Sect.

In Yanjing, at the Xiao Family.

Inside a cool pavilion, Situ Yan and Xiao Ding were sitting here, drinking tea.

”You know about the Flame Gate, right?”

Situ Yan said to Xiao Ding.

”Yes, I do, and according to intelligence investigations, someone from the Flame Gate went to Tianhai before their sect was destroyed and made a move against the Ye Family.”

Xiao Ding said, sipping his tea lightly.

”Are you saying that the destruction of the Flame Gate was done by that kid?”

Situ Yan’s pupils shrank as he looked at Xiao Ding.

”I wouldn’t rule out that possibility, there’s been hatred between that kid and the Flame Gate because of the Flame Gate sect leader’s son. This time, the Flame Gate struck against the Ye Family, and given that kid’s nature, it’s quite normal for him to strike back at the Flame Gate. Most importantly, Xiao Han also went to the northern Dragon City yesterday, which could explain some things.”

Xiao Ding spoke in a serious tone.

”This damn kid, he’s becoming more and more surprising, and his abilities are getting stronger each time. I really wonder if Yi Yun will be able to handle him at this point.”

Situ Yan’s expression was solemn, with a touch of worry flashing in his eyes.

”Don’t worry, Yi Yun’s talent is there for all to see. It’s not top-notch, but it’s definitely first-rate. Besides, he has a master who is about to step into the Celestial Beings Realm.”

”Once his master enters the Celestial Beings Realm, Yi Yun will be like having a tremendously strong backing. No matter how tough that kid is, it will be useless against a Celestial Beings Realm strong one. Even if the old man wants to protect him, it won’t do any good.”

Xiao Ding said in an indifferent manner.

”You’re right, but that kid went from being someone with severed meridians, unable to cultivate, a complete waste, to becoming the powerful expert he is today. We can’t be sure he doesn’t have a powerful master behind him. If he does have a master with formidable abilities, then that will be troublesome.”

Situ Yan’s gaze flickered.

After listening to Situ Yan, Xiao Ding’s eyes narrowed slightly as he said, ”Let’s not borrow trouble for the time being; we haven’t reached that point yet. Nobody knows what might happen in the future, and besides, Yi Yun’s master’s identity is no small matter. I believe with him around, Yi Yun won’t be in danger.”

”Let’s hope so!”

Situ Yan took a sip of his tea, his eyes glittering.

Meanwhile, in a spacious and elegant office inside a high-end luxury building in Yanjing, a mature woman dressed in professional attire stood before a floor-to-ceiling window, sipping her coffee, her gaze somewhat unfocused.

And this mature woman was none other than Sunx Ziyun, the sister of the Patriarch of the Sunx Family, one of the Eight Great Families of Yanjing. She was also the drunken woman Xiao Yifeng almost took advantage of that day.

”President!”

At that moment, a middle-aged man in a black suit walked in and, standing behind Sunx Ziyun, bowed and called out.

”Have you found the information?”

Sunx Ziyun asked in a neutral tone.

”President, this is all his information!”

The man handed her a document, to which she glanced and her expression became focused, ”Is this all the information?”

”This is what we could find from his arrival in Tianhai onwards. As for anything earlier, we’ve found nothing; it’s a blank slate.”

”Fiancee of President Ye Yaxin of the Ye Corporation!”

Sunx Ziyun, looking at the first piece of information on the document, had an unusual expression in her eyes—the document was about Xiao Yifeng.

”The fiance of one woman, yet he made a scene at another woman’s wedding, demanding a marriage!”

A special look crossed Sunx Ziyun’s face, leaving one unable to fathom her thoughts.

PS: Just to clarify, I’ve seen many friends mention no mass releases during holidays, but I had said before—due to the editor’s requirement to have a burst on the 20th, I can only save up drafts now. I really can’t afford a burst release because then I wouldn’t be able to do so on the 20th. Please try to understand. You may think reading the novel is quick, but writing these five Chapters takes at least ten hours of brainstorming plus writing, I really can’t write too much!
