Chapter 28

The night was as dark as ink. In a corner of Nanjiang City, two Ghost Guards shuttled through the streets like ghosts, heading straight for the hotel where the five members of the Sun family were staying. The street was silent, save for an occasional breeze rustling through fallen leaves. Moving swiftly and covertly, the two figures appeared and disappeared in the darkness, seemingly blending into the night. Inside the hotel, Sun Yan and his companions were plotting their next move against Qin Yuanfeng's family. The room was thick with tension, illuminated only by dim lights that cast grim shadows over their stern faces. "Hmph! In a mere backwater like Nanjiang City, is there really anyone the Sun family can't handle? To send all five of us at once—isn't the matriarch making a mountain out of a molehill?" said a Martial Disciple Realm martial artist with a sneer. He gently swirled a glass of wine in his hand, the rich aroma failing to mask the arrogance in his eyes. His name was Sun Li, an impetuous young warrior who believed that with the Sun family's immense influence in the Provincial Capital, he could do whatever he pleased in a small place like Nanjiang City.
