With Gai Jianchan's strength, if he resorted to force, I'm afraid even Zeng Yan wouldn't be able to stop him.

The title of Sword Saint is not given lightly.

Gai Jianchan, alone with his sword, is truly unparalleled in this world.

That surging Sword Intent is no joke.

"Damn, what was Zeng Yan, that idiot, thinking?" Meng Junqiao suddenly cursed, her face full of dissatisfaction.

Letting herself be recognized as Tang Rao's girlfriend, just to hold off Gai Jianchan.

Had it not been for Zeng Yan's kindness towards her, she would never have agreed.

"And Tang Rao, who knows where he has gone to die. I'm here supporting the scene for you, but you ran off without a trace." Meng Junqiao grew even more annoyed when she thought of Tang Rao, her coarse language bursting forth, full of bandit-like fury.

...

"Meng Junqiao!" At this moment, outside Ziyuan Villa, Gai Jianchan's eyes were sinister, his fingers cracking audibly.

The longsword at his waist was violently vibrating from the Spiritual Energy, it seemed almost ready to leap out and kill on its own.

Meng Junqiao's role at the Nine-Headed King Hall was crystal clear to him, and that was exactly why he dared not act.

But the frustration was driving him nearly mad.

"Damn it, why is everything going so wrong lately!" Gai Jianchan spat out a curse. Sheng Tai disappeared, and so did the others from the order.

The people he sent out have all gone without any news of their returns, dead or missing.

In any case, nothing was going his way.

"Hey, old man, make way." Just as Gai Jianchan was feeling irritable, two young men emerged from under the shade of the trees opposite him, waving at Gai Jianchan.

One of the young people was holding a DV, seemingly recording something.

Gai Jianchan glanced at the two, then back at Ziyuan Villa behind him, frowning slightly.

"What are you two up to?" Gai Jianchan asked, then stepped towards the young men.

"None of your damn business, just walk away."

"Old man, this is none of your business, don't be a busybody."

Both were waving at Gai Jianchan, their faces full of impatience.

Gai Jianchan stepped forward, his hands shot out, grabbing each by the neck in one swift move.

The two youngsters, being average people, had no chance to escape, they could only twist their bodies frantically, their hands weakly hitting Gai Jianchan.

"Speak, what are you doing here?" Gai Jianchan asked again, his fingers tightening slightly.

Their faces turned red, then they began nodding vigorously, willing to talk.

Gai Jianchan snorted coldly, slightly loosening his grip but still holding their necks.

"We... we are here to surveil..."

"Surveil whom?"

"Tang... Tang Rao..."

Gai Jianchan's gaze was fierce, his penetrating eyes staring down the two men.

"Our boss disappeared, we came to monitor Tang Rao; before our boss disappeared, he was beaten up by Tang Rao."

If Tang Rao had been here, he might have recognized these two youngsters as the students who had helped Sheng Tai deceive Jiang Langhuan into the steam bath house.

Gai Jianchan scoffed, showing some disdain. Tang Rao, that kid, certainly has plenty of enemies.

"Don't you know Tang Rao isn't here?" Gai Jianchan asked.

"We know, he has been out for about four days and hasn't come back since," one of the youths said.

So he really isn't here, Gai Jianchan hummed.

"What else do you know?" Gai Jianchan continued.

"We don't know anything else. All we recorded is in the DV, I'll give you the memory card, just... let us go."

Gai Jianchan wasn't really looking to kill these two after all. This place, albeit seldom populated, still had pedestrians around.

If things got out of hand, it would be problematic for him too.

"Scram!" Gai Jianchan threw the two aside, not caring about the DV before turning to leave.

Watching Gai Jianchan's retreating figure, resentment filled the eyes of the two fellows.

"Bastard, who the hell is he?"

"If it weren't for the disappearance of boss Sheng Tai, we would definitely mess him up!"

The two began to grumble, touching their own necks, faces full of discontent.

Bang!

Before the two could react, their throats were gripped once again, and Gai Jianchan stood before them, his lethal intent fierce.

"What did you say your boss's name was?" Gai Jianchan, his emotions tumultuous, nearly crushed their throats with his strength.

"Shen... Sheng Tai boss..." one of them managed to say with difficulty.

"Last name?"

"Gu... Gu..."

Their faces had turned purple, probably only seconds away from dying.

Gai Jianchan loosened his grip, and the two immediately fell, landing heavily on the ground, gasping for air.

It was already admirable that the two did not soil themselves at the brink of death.

"Speak!" Gai Jianchan glared coldly at the two on the ground, his teeth nearly shattering.

Turns out, it was related to Tang Rao again.

This time, the two dared not chatter anymore, quickly repeating the incident that happened at the sauna.

After hearing their account, Gai Jianchan's rage soared to the heavens, nearly striking down the two on the spot.

However, he ultimately controlled his killing intent.

After all, it had nothing to do with these two fellows.

"Get lost!" Gai Jianchan cursed softly, his head hung low, his body trembling.

Whether Sheng Tai was harmed by Tang Rao or not, right now, Gai Jianchan wanted to kill Tang Rao.

Without a thought, the two scrambled away, terrified... middle-aged men these days are too terrifying...

"Tang Rao, looks like you really do stir up trouble. Since that's the case, don't blame me." Gai Jianchan narrowed his eyes fiercely, turned around, and with his longsword suddenly unsheathed, leaped towards Ziyuan Villa.

He could tolerate the things of the Shie Erdao, but not Sheng Tai.

What about Jun Qiao? Just bypass her, at most, offend her. Even though this might anger the Meng Family, Nine-Headed King Hall isn't dictated solely by the Meng Family.

"Swords come!" Gai Jianchan roared, his longsword suddenly drawing out, merging Sword Qi and Sword Intent, a powerful Spiritual Technique.

Lights flashed, the villa above crumbled, and debris flew around.

Boom!

A terrifying sword mark almost cleaved the villa in half.

The next moment, Jun Qiao leaped out from the villa, furious.

"Gai Jianchan, do you understand what you're doing!" Jun Qiao yelled at Gai Jianchan, that sword almost hit her.

Gai Jianchan glanced at Jun Qiao, ignoring her completely, and continued straight into the villa.

"Stop!" Jun Qiao swung her longsword, blocking Gai Jianchan.

"Miss Meng, you can't stop me, you know that. Tang Rao is my target, please step aside." Gai Jianchan stated coldly.

He wouldn't lay a hand on Jun Qiao, indeed, she couldn't stop him.

"I told you, Tang Rao isn't here!" Jun Qiao couldn't understand why Gai Jianchan had returned.

"If he is not here, I will force him to come back!" Gai Jianchan stepped forward, swinging his sword.

Ding!

Jun Qiao's longsword was struck away, embedding into the ground, buzzing.

"Gai Jianchan, you dare!"

Jun Qiao now understood what Gai Jianchan intended to do, he was planning to use Tang Rao's family to force Tang Rao to appear.
