Inside the manor, everyone was shocked. A middle-aged man rushed into the surveillance room, staring in disbelief at the monitor screen. "I gave him three hours, and he's here already?"

"Wait, how did he get onto the island?"

"Show me the surveillance footage of the lake."

The middle-aged man instructed.

The people in the surveillance room immediately pulled up the footage of the lake.

What they saw was astonishing.

Almost everyone in the surveillance room was dumbfounded, their jaws dropping.

Ye Beichen was actually gliding over the water on a tree branch?

To be precise, he was speeding over faster than a speedboat.

"This kid!"

The middle-aged man's eye twitched violently, and he said coldly, "Prepare the poisoned wine for me, open the gates, and let him in."

As soon as he finished speaking, the large iron gate of Long Lake Manor opened in response.

Ye Beichen's gaze darkened. The sun had already set, and night had fallen.

Bright lights lit up all around, with various spotlights shining on him, making it hard to keep his eyes open.

Ye Beichen was not afraid. He strode forward and entered Long Lake Manor.

Soon, armed personnel appeared in front of him!

They escorted Ye Beichen through the garden and into a hall.

Everywhere around him were men armed to the teeth, guns at the ready.

The middle-aged man from the surveillance room appeared, surrounded by a group of armed men, and stood before Ye Beichen.

"It's you?"

The moment Ye Beichen saw this man, his eyes turned cold as blood.

This was the second martial artist who had stormed into the Ye family years ago, one of the culprits who killed his parents and elder brother.

Hong Wu, the owner of Long Lake Manor.

A Heaven-Rank Martial Artist!

Five years ago, he and an attendant of the King of Jiangnan had attacked the Ye family.

The deaths of Old Seventh Ye, Zhou Xianglian, and Ye Beifeng were all connected to him.

Even if he were reduced to ashes, Ye Beichen would recognize him!

"It's me. I didn't expect that in just five years, your strength would become so formidable! Walking on water, using True Qi, are you already a Martial Grandmaster?" Hong Wu said in a deep voice.

"The Zhao family is destroyed, the King of Jiangnan is dead!"

"Kid, you really are surprising."

"No wonder, five years ago, someone wanted to kill your entire family!"

"And now, five years later, someone is offering a billion to take your life!"

Hong Wu shook his head. "Do you know? In the Dragon Nation, killing a Grandmaster only fetches a bounty of a hundred million."

"What makes you worth a billion?"

"Who wants to kill me?" Ye Beichen's gaze darkened.

"You think I'd tell you?"

Hong Wu laughed, as hundreds of gun barrels were aimed at Ye Beichen.

Even if Ye Beichen was a Grandmaster, under the simultaneous fire of hundreds of guns, he would be riddled with bullets.

In ancient times, a Grandmaster-Level Martial Artist could be considered invincible!

Amidst thousands of troops, they could take the enemy general's head!

In modern society, amidst a hail of bullets, even a Grandmaster Martial Artist would meet their end!

"Where is my Senior Sister?" Ye Beichen asked.

"Hahaha, that woman." Hong Wu looked at Ye Beichen calmly, pointing to a nearby coffee table where a cup of poisoned wine was placed. "Drink it, and I'll tell you Wang Ruyan's whereabouts."

"Fine!"

Without a second thought, Ye Beichen stepped forward decisively.

He picked up the poisoned wine and drank it in one gulp.

"Aren't you going to ask what it is?" Hong Wu raised an eyebrow, finding it unbelievable.

Ye Beichen said calmly, "It's nothing more than poisoned wine or some kind of poison."

"Smart, but unfortunately, you're also very foolish." Hong Wu looked at Ye Beichen with pity.

"What kind of status does Wang Ruyan have, how could I possibly touch her?"

"I just bribed a hacker to ruin her phone card, so you couldn't call her." Hong Wu glanced at Ye Beichen mockingly, full of amusement.

"Unexpectedly, you were so worried that you actually believed Wang Ruyan was in my hands?"

"As long as my Senior Sister is safe, that's all that matters." Ye Beichen smiled slightly.

Hong Wu looked at Ye Beichen with a playful expression and said, "Aren't you worried about yourself?"

"What you just drank was Mandrake poison, with no antidote."

"Moreover, the pollen of Mandrake can neutralize your internal energy."

"Ye Beichen, your five years of effort, five years of martial training, all for naught today!" Hong Wu suddenly shouted, full of momentum, stepping forward out of his protection, saying:

"Today, I will kill you, the one who slipped through the net five years ago."

"And then, I'll claim the billion reward!"

"Do you know, I have a master called the Medicine King of Miaojiang?" Ye Beichen suddenly said, "The moment your Mandrake entered my mouth, I neutralized it."

"What Medicine King of Miaojiang?"

Hong Wu frowned.

Then, as if he suddenly remembered something!

He couldn't believe it: "The Medicine King of Miaojiang, are you talking about that Medicine King of Miaojiang? The one who once poisoned a hundred thousand people single-handedly."

"It seems there are still people in this world who know my Master Ninety-Five." Ye Beichen nodded slightly.

"I'll give you a chance, tell me the mastermind, and I'll give you a quick death."

"In your dreams!"

Hong Wu's face darkened, instinctively retreating a few steps, then gestured with both hands: "Kill him!"

"Rat-tat-tat!"

Hundreds of people fired simultaneously, bullets raining down like a storm, roaring towards Ye Beichen.

The entire hall was instantly ablaze with gunfire.

Ye Beichen slid his foot, crouched down, and swept across.

In an instant, a dozen gunmen had their legs kicked out from under them, lying on the ground wailing.

Bullets whizzed past, and Ye Beichen, like an eel, easily dodged all the bullets.

Ye Beichen's speed was faster than the bullets!

Hong Wu's eyes were about to pop out of his head!

Ye Beichen, like a rocket, charged through the crowd, and the hundreds of gunmen couldn't do anything to him.

And this was inside a hall, with millions worth of decor instantly turned to dust.

Bullets ricocheted, and many of their own were hit by friendly fire.

In less than five minutes, almost all of the hundreds of gunmen were lying on the ground, not a single one standing.

Only Hong Wu and a dozen guards remained, looking at him in terror!

Is he... man or ghost?

"S-stop..."

The remaining dozen guards' voices trembled, their hands shaking so much they couldn't hold their guns steady, pointing at Ye Beichen.

"I only want Hong Wu."

Ye Beichen walked forward step by step.

"Ah!"

"Devil, he's a devil!"

The dozen guards, in a frenzy, dropped their weapons and ran out of the hall.

Ye Beichen didn't chase them, coldly watching Hong Wu.

"Whoosh!"

Seeing the situation turn bad, Hong Wu turned and ran!

His speed was extremely fast, turning into a blur!

After all, he was a Heaven-Rank Martial Artist, and when fleeing for his life, he was still very fast!

But Ye Beichen was even faster!

Just as Hong Wu took three steps, Ye Beichen appeared in front of him, sweeping his leg.

With a crisp "crack."

"Ah—!"

Hong Wu's legs were kicked and broken on the spot, twisting at a terrifying angle.

He lay on the ground like a dead dog, screaming incessantly.

"Tell me, who ordered the killing of my parents back then?"

"And who today offered a billion bounty to kill me?"

Ye Beichen stepped on Hong Wu's head, coldly asking.
