  "Young Master, I-I had a stomachache just now, so I left for a little while…… when I left, the fish was clearly still there," the woman stammered nervously, not daring to look up at Zeng Siqing's face.

  "Men!"

  The stormy expression disappeared, and an expressionless look replaced it on his face.

  Two Dark Jing experts hurried over and replied respectfully, "Young Master."

  Zeng Siqing spat coldly and said, "You don't need me to teach you what to do, right?"

  "Yes!"

  The two Dark Jing experts nodded in response, naturally clear about what Zeng Siqing meant. Using the back of his hand, one of the experts directly chopped down on the back of the woman's neck, knocking her out before dragging her away.

  "Wu~!"

  The Cerberus walked over from the other side of the table, yawning in a bored manner.

  'Dammit! My fish wouldn't have been eaten by this dog, right?!'

  Seeing the Cerberus walk out like that, a horrible thought flashed past Zeng Siqing's mind.

  "Go to hell!"

  The more he thought about it, the angrier Zeng Siqing became. Such an expensive fish was actually eaten by a dog?! With a flash of his body, he appeared before the Cerberus and sent a palm smashing downwards, slapping directly against the Indigestion's head!

  "Peng!"

  A dull thud rang out and the Cerberus remained standing where it was without moving at all. Its half-closed eyes all opened abruptly, and the three heads all turned to stare at Zeng Siqing with cold, bad intent.

  "Bam!"

  "Ka-cha!"

  The Cerberus raised a paw and smacked it against Zeng Siqing's chest, sending him flying through the air and smashing into the table. The sturdy table made of yellow rosewood was smashed into smithereens with a single strike.

  Zeng Siqing lay among the broken pieces of wood with confusion in his eyes. Time seemed to have stopped as he looked around dumbly. A few seconds later, he finally reacted and let out a wretched scream!

  "AH!"

  The Cerberus did not say anything and strutted over with elegant steps until it was right beside Zeng Siqing's face.

  A gray doggy paw print had appeared on the center of Zeng Siqing's clean white robes. Zeng Siqing's chest heaved with pain. From the looks of things, he could feel that a few of his ribs had been broken!

  The Cerberus did not seem to have any intention to stop as it continued slapping Zeng Siqing's face with its front paws, causing crisp smacking sounds to ring out.

  With just a few slaps, Zeng Siqing's face was swollen to a ridiculous extent. Satisfied, the Cerberus snorted and left.

  "A tiny Evolved Jing brat dares to smack this Lord Dog on the head? If it was the old me, I'd eat the brat."

  Indigestion sneered coldly and trotted off.

  As for Zeng Siqing, he had been smacked so hard that he began to doubt his life. He was an Evolved Jing master, but he'd actually been beaten up to this state!

  "Young Master! Young Master, are you ok?"

  The two Dark Jing experts had left only recently and were just returning as they were stunned silly when they saw Zeng Siqing's who had been beaten until he did not resemble a human anymore.

  "Do I look ok to you? Are your eyes blind!"

  Zeng Siqing's suave face was now so swollen that it resembled a pig's head.

  'Dammit! I must chop it into pieces and eat it!'

  Zeng Siqing cursed hatefully in his heart. This beating was too much of a humiliation for him.

  A Xiantian Lord of the Zeng Clan received the notice in an instant and began to hurry over. When he reached here, the Xiantian Lord had an extremely ugly expression on his face. His own clan member had actually been beaten to such a state in their own territory. This was a blatant challenge!

  Zhenqi burst out of his body, quickly mending Zeng Siqing's bones together. His face was red with fury as he shouted, "Who did this!"

  "Elder, go and summon the clan's Law Enforcement team. I want those people to pay the price today!"

  Zeng Siqing wiped the blood away from the corner of his mouth. As for the culprit who had given him the beating, he directly avoided the question. He couldn't possibly say that he'd been beaten up by a dog right? Even he wouldn't believe it if he heard himself say it!

  But the fact that he had been beaten up by a dog was real. By now, Zeng Siqing had also regained his senses. This dog was definitely not simple, and had to be a powerful Demonic Beast. Furthermore, it was much stronger than himself. With his cultivation as an Evolved Jing master, he actually did not have the strength to fight back at all!

  A large group of people marched towards the yard with great demeanor, their killing intent surging impressively.

  The Cerberus was lying beside Mystic One at this time, lazily slapping its paws at the ants crawling past.

  Bai Xiang and Mystic One sat at the side. Bai Xiang was not used to this kind of gatherings, and had his eyes closed as he rested. Mystic One did not even put these people in her eyes. She looked around in a bored manner, her fragrant cheeks on her soft hands, her thoughts unknown.

  "Surround this place!"

  A group of people suddenly appeared before Mystic One's group. The people leading the group were naturally Zeng Siqing and five Xiantian experts!

  A Zeng Clan Xiantian Lord stepped out and said directly, "Qing, are they the ones who injured you? By rights, you guys are our guests. But for this matter, you need to give our Zheng Clan an explanation!"

  He didn't bother to wait for Mystic One and the rest's reply, and directly judged them to be the culprits.

  Zeng Siqing stood at the side mutely, silently acknowledging the culprits. No matter what, he would never admit that it was a dog that had beaten him up. Since the dog seemed to belong to this group, there was nothing wrong with pinning the crime on their heads!

  At the instant his eyes landed on Mystic One, Zeng Siqing's heart began to jump wildly.

  Mystic One did not bother to look at these people and continued petting Insatiable's head, feeling somewhat strange about the situation.

  Normally, Insatiable and Black Hole would not allow anyone to touch their heads—apart from Bei Feng. But now, even though she was petting the two greedy fellows, they only looked up at her listlessly before closing their eyes again.

  The Xiantian Lord furrowed his brows and demanded with increasing annoyance, "Do you think that everything will be fine if you don't speak? Which clan are the few of you from?!"

  The number of clans visiting today was too many. Super-clans and sects were not the only ones here, there were also many smaller powers. Thus, it was better to determine their origins first.

  A large group of people had gathered around to watch the commotion. They originally only wanted to see who dared to offend the Zeng Clan. But all of a sudden, someone gasped aloud with shock and pointed at Mystic One. "EH? That's the Crimson Witch!"

  "Yikes, indeed, it is she! I saw her once from a distance before, a mid-sized clan with over ten Xiantian experts were all killed by her, and not a single person from the clan survived!"

  In an instant, chaos broke out as everyone was stirred into excitement.

  "Is that really the Crimson Witch? But she's so beautiful, no matter how I look at her, she doesn't seem like the savage type."

  "Hehe, that means you guys haven't seen her when she's killing."

  "There'll be a good show to watch this time. I don't know what happened, but it looks like the Zeng Clan is about to clash with the Crimson Witch."

  Everyone began to discuss happily, glad to finally see some action.

  A middle-aged man said with pity, "Looks like the Crimson Witch is going to be at a disadvantage this time. This is the home ground of the Zeng Clan, and the Zeng Clan is also a super-clan with a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert watching over it."

  "Hur hur, that's where you're wrong. You only know that the Zeng Clan has a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert, but do you know who's backing the Crimson Witch?"

  A few people at the side scoffed and looked at him with disdain.

  "Who? It can't be that her backer is even sturdier than the Zeng Clan?" the middle-aged man asked, his interest rising.

  "This Crimson Witch is extremely ruthless, annihilating whole clans on a whim. If there was no one backing her, she would be ganged up against and removed long ago! The person backing her is also a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert, who has a record of slaying more Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts than you could count on a single hand! 3,000 strands of hair, white as blood [1], Lord Bei Feng!" an older man said with some fear.

  3,000 strands of hair, white as blood was a nickname referring to the countless number of people he'd killed. Every strand of hair was in reference to a life he took!

  "Crimson Witch, even if you have Lord Bei Feng backing you, you have still gone overboard to create trouble in my Zeng Clan!"

  The faces of the five elders from the Zeng Clan turned ugly after hearing the words of the crowd. But they were now riding on a tiger, and found it hard to dismount. Since they had already confronted the group, they had to harden their scalps and continue with their show of force.

  These Xiantian experts had spent most of their time in seclusion, and the first thing they did when they exited seclusion was to prepare to enter the Locking Dragon Well. They naturally did not know much about the outside news.

  This was also the reason they had not recognized Mystic One from the start. But since they also had a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert backing them, they could still hold their ground and speak.
