"Grandfather, are you all right?"

Upon seeing her grandfather being hit, Chen Qianqian’s face filled with worry as she exclaimed.

"What the hell do you bastards want? Don’t harm Qianqian; she’s just a child," Chen Baoshan said, his face pale with rage as he glared at Hong Feiyang.

"Old man, you know what we want. Just tell us where the seals of the three great evil artifacts are, and help us find them. Maybe I’ll let you reunite with your granddaughter. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee what I might do to a pretty, cute, and charming little girl like your granddaughter," Hong Feiyang said with a cold face, his eyes flickering with a lascivious light as he looked at Chen Qianqian, stroking her smooth cheek with his hand; the latter’s eyes were filled with fear and anxiety.

Please... don’t hurt Qianqian!" Chen Baoshan hastily shouted.

"Old man, it’s time to see your sincerity. Do you want to keep this secret and sacrifice your only granddaughter, or do you want to cooperate with us?"

Hong Feiyang’s eyes turned cold as he grabbed Chen Qianqian’s chin. She struggled continuously but to no avail.

"Fine, I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you everything, but you must not harm my granddaughter!" Chen Baoshan’s eyes flickered as he spoke in a deep voice.

"Speak, where exactly is the location of the seal?" Hong Feiyang looked at Chen Baoshan with some impatience.

Chen Baoshan let out a sigh and said, "The three great evil artifacts are sealed under Twin Dragon Mountain in the Capital City."

"Twin Dragon Mountain! The peak rumored to contain the Dragon Vein of Huaxia!" Hong Feiyang exclaimed with surprise.

"That’s right. The one who sealed the three great evil artifacts years ago was able to completely seal them by utilizing the energy of the Dragon Vein in Twin Dragon Mountain, which is why the artifacts have remained sealed for such a long time," Chen Baoshan nodded.

"Keep an eye on the two of them," Hong Feiyang instructed and immediately left the room, heading to another where Hong Zhentian was sitting cross-legged.

"Father, he has confessed. The location of the seals of the three great evil artifacts is at Twin Dragon Mountain in the Capital City."

"Twin Dragon Mountain? The legendary gathering place of the Capital City’s Dragon Veins, I see!" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

As his eyes shimmered with a sharp light, Hong Zhentian murmured to himself.

"Father, what should we do now? Should we immediately head to the Capital City?" asked Hong Feiyang.

"We cannot afford to be careless. Although we’ve found the location of the seal, undoing it will not be easy. Moreover, it’s in the Capital City, which could attract a host of martial arts experts at any time. We must make thorough preparations. It seems it’s time for the Evil Sect to emerge once more," Hong Zhentian said heavily.

Hong Feiyang’s expression shifted, "Father, are you planning to mobilize the power of the Evil Sect?"

"Once we obtain the three great evil artifacts, there’s no need for the Evil Sect to hide anymore. It’s time to let those old fools witness the might of the Evil Sect," Hong Zhentian declared sternly.

In the Capital City, while everyone was discussing the events of Ji Lingtian’s engagement ceremony today, a bombshell dropped: Century Group, in alliance with Splendid Group, Zhang Group, and Bi Group, along with more than a dozen large Huaxia corporations, collectively launched a surgical strike against the stock of Qin Group.

Within less than an hour, they had directly invested thirty billion dollars, acquiring a massive number of Qin Group’s shares, and then proceeded to sell them at low prices.

As a result, the stock price of Qin Group plummeted sharply, having dropped by more than three percentage points. Suddenly, losses reached several billion, and the number continued to grow. The entire Qin Clan was thrown into chaos.

Qin Yuru quickly returned to the headquarters of Qin Group, where she began to methodically mobilize the resources of the entire group to resist this massive crisis.

However, this attack was even more fierce than the previous united strike by the four major groups. Not only had the four major groups injected large sums of money, but over a dozen large groups were involved as well. Even though the Qin Group was regarded as the top group in Huaxia, it struggled to withstand such a fierce offensive.

By the time the stock market closed at five in the afternoon, Qin Group’s direct financial losses had reached ten billion. However, Qin Group’s biggest loss was not just the ten billion, but the ensuing disorder among its people because of this crisis.

Everyone knew that Century Group and others were doing this as either Ji Family or Ji Lingtian’s revenge against Qin Yuru. Having brought such great shame to Ji Lingtian, they would not let the matter rest. From today’s massive mobilization, it was clear that they intended to crush the Qin Group.

Because of this, a series of chain reactions occurred. A large number of collaborators and long-term partners began dissolving their contracts with Qin Group. Moreover, a vast number of shareholders sold off their shares, plunging Qin Group into a crisis even bigger than before.

Everyone was aware that Qin Group, facing the joint strike of the four major groups plus over a dozen large groups, would have difficulty withstanding it. Even if they did hold up, the losses would likely be immense, potentially stripping them of their title as the leading group in Huaxia.

Moreover, now that the old patriarch of the Qin Family was not present, Qin Yuru alone could not resist the retribution from Century Group and the Ji Family. The only path left was likely downfall.

Understanding this, those collaborators of Qin Group were in a rush to terminate their contracts, and turmoil prevailed within the Qin Group, leaving Qin Yuru in a state of utter distress.

In Qin Yuru’s office at Qin Group, after organizing the last bit of data, she left the company, heading towards the underground parking lot. Her face had become much more haggard.

No sooner had she reached the parking area than she sensed something was amiss. A chilling aura approached, causing her body to involuntarily shiver.

Suddenly, two figures appeared. Both were dressed in black, their faces grim, and their bodies exuded a cold aura. It was clear they were not here with good intentions.

"Was it Ji Lingtian who sent you?" Qin Yuru’s face changed as she looked at the two people, her expression somewhat panicked.

"Miss Qin, please come with us," one of the two men said.

"What if she doesn’t want to go with you?"

A light and floating voice echoed through the underground parking, and upon hearing it, Qin Yuru’s face brightened, her tense expression relaxing.

The two figures’ expressions changed, and as they whirled around, they saw another figure eerily appear before them—and then...there was no after.

Ye Luo wore a bright smile as his fists thundered into the bodies of the two Semi-Saint Realm experts. Without any chance to resist, they were killed instantly, their bodies slumped to the ground.

"How come you are here?" Qin Yuru asked, looking at Ye Luo.

"I was worried about your safety, so I came specially to pick you up. Fortunately, I arrived just in time. Otherwise, you would have been in danger. You’re going to be very vulnerable during this period, but I’ll stay by your side. I’m also aware of the issues facing Qin Group. Don’t worry, I’m here. I will help you solve all your problems," he said.
