The irritable car raced down the road, but Shen Qiang, who was driving, remained exceptionally calm.

79 Hongchang Road.

Although Shen Qiang had never been to this address, he knew exactly where it was.

Because Gao Hui had rented the house a long time ago, Shen Qiang had not only viewed it on the map's street view but had also researched the route to get there, opting for the shortest one.

It's just that Shen Qiang had never imagined that one day he would actually go there himself.

Her husband had been murdered.

Just minutes before.

Gao Hui, still busy working hard in the kitchen, might not yet know any of this.

And next, the person who would be killed was her mother-in-law.

Hongchang Road was in the suburbs, and if the person extorting Shen Qiang kept their word, even Shen Qiang couldn't save them.

Because Provincial City was vast.

From where Shen Qiang got into the car to Hongchang Road in the suburbs, there was a nearly twenty-kilometer distance.

In five minutes, it was already impossible for Shen Qiang to arrive in time.

As a very pragmatic person, while keeping a cool head, Shen Qiang was somewhat expectant that the other party would do as they said.

Because in that case, Shen Qiang could run red lights all the way, relying on the excellent performance of this car.

Shen Qiang was certain he could make it within ten minutes.

So even if Shen Qiang couldn't save everyone in their family, at least he could rescue that adorable little fellow and Gao Hui.

"Stay calm, it's all up to you now!"

Shen Qiang, reminding himself, focused intently.

At this moment.

On the side of the road at 77 Hongchang Road.

Inside the luxurious minivan.

Jing Haotian closed the car door and gave a helpless sigh before answering a video call.

The screen flashed.

A tall girl in pure cotton pajamas, who resembled Jing Haotian by about sixty percent, with snow-white skin and a delicate and pretty appearance, was sitting on the bed with her knees hugged, speaking somewhat discontentedly, "Brother, keep me company and talk."

Jing Haotian's gaze softened, "What's the matter? Can't sleep? Then go watch some TV for a while, or browse the internet."

The delicate and pretty girl frowned, expressing her discontent, "I haven't been out of the house for three months, cooped up all day, and I'm fed up."

Jing Haotian chuckled, "Dad and mom won't let you go out because they're afraid someone will abduct you. Besides, wasn't it already decided? In four months, you'll be getting engaged. Staying at home now is the best choice for you."

"I don't want to get married," the pretty girl said with a frown. "I don't like that guy at all. I thought that if I managed to get the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra, and Little Flower could level up, then dad, mom, and the family elders might change their minds."

Jing Haotian smiled, "You will get it."

The pretty girl paused, then pouted and said, "Brother, stop lying to me. I already know that the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra has been bought by someone else."

Jing Haotian smiled, "My dear sister, you have to believe in your brother. All these years, from childhood to now, have I ever disappointed you?"

Hearing these words, the pretty and delicate girl smiled sweetly, "Big brother is the best, you have never let me down. Do we need to pay more to buy it back? I still have some money here, which I can transfer to you right away."

Jing Haotian smiled and his eyes curved, "Silly girl, your brother is very capable and making money is naturally not a problem. Anything you want, big brother will get for you, no matter what it takes."

"So you just need to wait obediently at home for big brother to get the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra back. Then, if your Little Flower successfully advances and her strength soars, dad, mom, and the Elders in the family will definitely reconsider your marriage."

"At that time, if you really don't like that guy, then just call off the engagement."

Listening to this, the pretty and delicate girl smiled very happily, "Brother, I knew you are the best person in the world."

At the same time, by the side of the business vehicle, a cultivator looked at the time and spoke in a hushed voice, "Young Master, it's time."

Jing Haotian nodded with a smile.

On another mobile device inside the car, the image of the old woman being killed appeared immediately.

With blood splattering.

Jing Haotian smiled and said, "Sister, big brother has some things to deal with here and can't chat with you anymore."

"No, you can't," the pretty and attractive young girl pouted, "You're my brother, you have to talk to me."

Jing Haotian gave a helpless and bitter smile, "Alright, my princess, go ahead, what would you like to talk about?"

And almost at the same time, Shen Qiang, who was driving a sports car, was rapidly approaching Hongchang Road.

In the captivating sound of the engine, Shen Qiang, with clear-headed thoughts, when the car approached No. 107 Hongchang Road, stopped and turned off the engine, and put the car into the Storage Ring.

"The sound of the sports car's engine and the high speed of travel would alert the opponent that I've arrived. Stay calm; it's just a few hundred meters away. Using Wind Walk to run over won't slow down timing."

Shen Qiang, having packed up everything, hurried along the side of the street.

"From the previous video, I can tell that the enemy is not alone. Under the current circumstances, what they are hoping for is for me to show up directly. By then, with a hostage in their hands, even if I get a hold of the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra, they are most likely not going to release the hostage—there's a very high chance they will silence us."

"And my current cultivation is only at the Qi Condensation stage; if the opponent's cultivation is strong enough, I definitely won't be able to beat them in a head-on conflict. Qian Shanxue should be on her way here. Until she arrives, I need to bide my time. If an opportunity presents itself, strike; if not, observing is undoubtedly the best plan of action."

"In that case, observing their movements is what I should be doing right now."

While hurrying along.

Shen Qiang's thoughts were exceptionally clear.

With a flick of his wrist, the red and eerie mask, Nightmare, was placed on his face.

In an instant, the night became clear in his field of vision.

"Good, even looking directly at lights doesn't cause any blinding dazzle; there's no issue with visibility. As for approaching silently and unnoticed, it may be an impossible mission for others, but for me, who possesses the Immortal Artifact Star Moon Protection, in this night lit with sparse stars and moon, it's as easy as flipping my hand."

Thinking this, Shen Qiang silently infused his True Qi into the Star Moon Protection worn close to his body, and as he sprinted along the roadside, he vanished into thin air.

"Did my eyes deceive me? It seemed like I saw someone across the street there," the convenience store owner, who was about to close for the night, looked astonished in the direction where Shen Qiang had been.

"Told you to drink less, but you never listen. What're you mumbling about? Hurry up and close up shop."

With the scolding of the store owner's wife, the store owner was full of doubt, "Did I see wrong? How could that be, I only had one bottle of beer!"

Locking up the store door, the convenience store owner sighed helplessly, "It seems my tolerance for alcohol has truly weakened."

Meanwhile, at the same time, a cultivator huddled in the dark corner of the alley at No. 83 Hongchang Road felt a cold breeze as if someone had brushed past him, yet when he looked around, there was no one to be seen.

"All clear, the person we are waiting for hasn't appeared here," the cultivator in the darkness reported over the radio.
