"How does your strength compare to that of a Profound Tier expert?"

Qin Yang raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Even an Ancient Martial Artist at the early stage of the Profound Tier has strength several times greater than mine. If they strike against me, I wouldn't last a single round. As for the Valley Master and the Supreme Elder, their strength is even more formidable."

White Crane looked at Qin Yang and spoke. In his heart, although this kid's methods are bizarre, it's impossible for him to be a match for someone at the level of the Valley Master.

Qin Yang nodded, realizing that the Hundred Beasts Valley seems quite powerful.

"After I destroy the underground fighting ring, how long will it take for Hundred Beasts Valley to notice?"

Qin Yang fixed his gaze on White Crane and asked.

"One or two months at most. A few days ago, the Celestial Wolf Gang just injected some funds into the Hundred Beasts Valley. In this Mortal Realm, Hundred Beasts Valley controls more than just the small Celestial Wolf Gang, so they won't pay attention to it for now."

White Crane thought for a moment and mentioned. He was now under the control of this kid and had betrayed the Hundred Beasts Valley; perhaps he could only follow this boy to the end of the road.

"Hmm."

Qin Yang nodded. Since he destroyed the Celestial Wolf Gang, it seems that Hundred Beasts Valley, for the sake of reputation, wouldn't let the matter go easily.

"For now, I should quickly elevate my strength to Intermediate Immortal Warrior. By then, even Profound Tier experts wouldn't threaten me."

Qin Yang thought to himself.

"Clean up this mess here, then wait for my call."

Qin Yang glanced around the scene and instructed White Crane.

"Yes."

White Crane nodded. Although the upper echelon of the Celestial Wolf Gang had been wiped out by Qin Yang, there were still many lower-tier members that needed to be consolidated.

Qin Yang drove a Ferrari out of the fighting ring; it was already midnight. The moonlight was serene, cascading down from the sky.

Qin Yang got out of the car and stopped at the outskirts of a woodland.

Roar!

A deep lion's roar sounded, and a gigantic figure emerged from the dark woods nearby, affectionately nudging Qin Yang.

This was behind the West Mountain villa area, a suburban part of the city with few inhabitants, so no one saw the Fire Flame Lion.

On the back of the Fire Flame Lion, Long Meiqing was still asleep, her hair covering half of her charming face. Black leather pants outlined her graceful curves.

"This violent gal is quite peaceful when asleep."

Qin Yang performed a small Clearance God Technique, and Long Meiqing woke up slowly.

"Where is this place?"

Long Meiqing opened her eyes, looking at the somewhat open surroundings. Realizing it was near the entrance of the fighting ring, she suddenly turned to Qin Yang.

"What did you do to the fighting arena?"

Long Meiqing stared at Qin Yang and asked. Qin Yang standing safe before her suggested that nothing happened to him — the trouble was, naturally, with the people inside the fighting ring.

"Nothing much, just dealt with those who offended me."

Qin Yang replied with a blank expression.

"Did you perhaps kill again?"

Long Meiqing's face changed. This guy had quite an appearance, yet he's a killing maniac; Long Meiqing was genuinely frustrated.

"You don't understand the world of Ancient Martial Arts. Anyway, it's late now, go back and sleep early."

Qin Yang said.

"No, I'm not going back."

Long Meiqing shook her head resolutely.

"Although those people set up a fighting ring without permission and used live humans and beasts to fight — all illegal activities — they committed crimes that should be punished by law. You can't kill indiscriminately."

"Hehe, punishment by law?"

Qin Yang chuckled lightly.

"Hasn't this fighting ring been around for a while? Why haven't I seen the law come to punish these people you're talking about? Moreover, gambling is illegal too, right? You saw many gamblers tonight; please use your law to punish them."

Long Meiqing's face changed, and she bit her lip. The gamblers were all Yunshui City's wealthy individuals, including some high officials; they wielded considerable influence. Even the city police chief wouldn't dare touch those people.

Although she learned plenty at police school — laws, justice, etc. — she's not a fool and understands some things.

"No matter what, I'll get to the bottom of this."

Long Meiqing bit her red lips tightly, glanced at Qin Yang, and vanished into the night.

"What a brainless girl."

Qin Yang shook his head, paying no more mind to Long Meiqing.

"Little Yan, live in the West Mountain behind here for a few days. I'll pick you up later."

Qin Yang rubbed the Fire Flame Lion's head and thought silently about getting a big villa — partly for his parents' comfort and partly to accommodate Little Yan.

Qin Yang drove back to Xing Lake Villa; Ruan Xinxue and Ling Xiaoyu were already asleep.

Back in his room, Qin Yang took a comfortable hot shower before lying in bed for a good sleep. Once he got up, it was past ten in the morning, making it impossible to go to school.

For the time being, Qin Yang meditated for a while, restoring himself to peak condition, glanced at his phone and found a missed call from Ruan Xinxue.

Qin Yang called back, and after one ring, it connected.

"Hello, Qin Yang."

From the other side came Ruan Xinxue's voice.

"Sister Ruan, what's up?"

Qin Yang asked.

"Qin Yang, do you have time? Can you come to the company? I... have some things I want to discuss with you."

Ruan Xinxue's voice held some hesitation and embarrassment.

"Alright."

After hanging up, Qin Yang frowned, wondering what was up with Sister Ruan being so uncertain.

Changing into clean clothes, Qin Yang drove to Ruan's Jewelry Company.

When Qin Yang arrived at the company parking lot, a white Lamborghini convertible parked right next to his car.

The Lamborghini owner wore a neat suit; on the passenger seat beside him lay a large bouquet of red roses.

Qin Yang wasn't unfamiliar with the car owner; it was Yang Buqun, who he'd encountered at the Qingshuiwan Clubhouse.

Yang Buqun's eyes flashed with surprise upon seeing Qin Yang, not expecting to encounter this fellow.

Black Tiger had been imprisoned after attempting to rob Qin Yang and others that day, but Yang Buqun expended significant effort to bail him out.

Truth be told, he harbored quite a grudge against Qin Yang.

"What a coincidence, Young Qin."

Yang Buqun gathered his emotions. Given his identity as the vice-mayor's son, dealing with this kid was only a matter of time.

"Yes, quite the coincidence."

Qin Yang nodded slightly, surveying the suit-clad, shiny-shoed Yang Buqun, wondering if this guy was here to bother Sister Ruan.

Yang Buqun, holding a grand bouquet of roses, entered the doors of Ruan's Jewelry company alongside Qin Yang. Both headed straight for the elevator.

"Excuse me, sir, may I ask who you are looking for?"

A female receptionist noticed them and approached, blocking Yang Buqun while asking.

Yang Buqun paused his steps, noticing the receptionist only blocked him, not Qin Yang, immediately furrowing his brows.
