“I understand. I’ll be careful.” An Jiuyue reassured him. “You don’t have to be so worried. If you’re worried, get Yan Feng to investigate Zhao…”

She looked up at the roof and recalled the woman’s name. Her name was Zhao Xiaoli, was it?

“Let’s investigate Zhao Xiaoli’s background and who she’s been in contact with recently. We should know ourselves and the enemy, right?”

“Okay.” Qian Jiyun naturally agreed.

Meanwhile, a banquet hall elsewhere was bustling with noise and excitement.

However, people were not gathered for a banquet. Instead, everyone was indignant and cursed one person, who was, of course, Qian Liuguang.

“Master Ling, that’s not what you said when you borrowed people from me earlier. Now that you’ve exhausted everyone, you’re telling me it’s all because Jun Lin Hall is too powerful?”

“Who doesn’t know how powerful Jun Lin Hall is? But can’t we handle one Jun Lin Hall when there are so many of us? Master Ling, are you overestimating the people from Jun Lin Hall or underestimating our own people?”

“I heard that this time, despite so many people, there wasn’t a single bit of harm inflicted on Jun Lin Hall. Master Ling, don’t you think you owe us an explanation?”

The family heads directed their anger at Qian Liuguang.

They had lost many sacrificial warriors. Although the sacrificial warriors were trained to be sacrificed for their families, they should not be sacrificed like this.

The sacrificial warriors they lent to Qian Liuguang basically died for nothing.

“I didn’t expect the people from the Jun Lin Hall to be so powerful now.” Qian Liuguang looked at the people in front of him regretfully and spread his hands helplessly.

“It seems like we need more people to deal with Jun Lin Hall and that arrogant Qian Jiyun. I wonder if everyone…”

“That’s right. Who would like someone to split the pie with us on Wulong

Mountain? Qian Jiyun is powerful, to begin with. Now that he has become the Demon Heart, he’s even harder to deal with.”

“We lent our people to you to deal with Qian Jiyun. But what did you do in the end, Master Ling?”

“Even if I were to toss the sacrificial warriors into the water, there would’ve been some ripples, right? Yet, under your command, not even a single person from Jun Lin Hall was killed.

“Master Ling, that’s not what you promised us back then!”

“Master Ling, you claimed you could definitely sever one of Qian Jiyun’s arms. Look at what you’ve done now. It’s safe to say that you’re not only incompetent, but you also ruin everything!”

“I…” Qian Liuguang felt his anger lodge in his throat and almost choked.

How was he incompetent? He only devised this idea to unite these aristocratic families and deal with Jun Lin Hall collectively.

He could not understand why they were being so calculating over just a few hundred sacrificial warriors.

“I admit that I underestimated Qian Jiyun’s strength, but now is not the time to talk about this,” he reminded the family heads as he spread his hands helplessly..
