"My Lord."
The man in black robe who had his eyes closed opened his eyes and looked at the old man kneeling in front of him with a cold gaze. A hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.
"Didn't it get done?" he asked, his voice cold and aggressive.
"My Lord, forgive me."
He put his head on the ground and kowtowed, then raised his head and looked at him, his face solemnly saying: "My lord, those who were sent out were all top-notch masters, but I didn't expect that none of the people we sent out would come back alive."
"Isn't there only Huangfu Xiao in charge of the Huangfu family? Apart from him, are there any other powerful people?" He asked, with the corners of his mouth drooping slightly and a look of displeasure on his face.
"Now, the Huangfu family has no other strong people except Huangfu Xiao. Even if there are, they are only the elders of the Huangfu family. But the people we sent out naturally have the strength to deal with them. But now there is not even a single news. It shows that there must be some strong people in there that we don't know about."
The old man looked at him and said, "Last night, in addition to our people, there were another seven or eight groups of people who sneaked into the Huangfu family. However, they all went without returning and there is no news at all. Because a few points were wiped out a few days ago, we lost a lot of strong people, and those we sent out last night were also killed. That's why I came to report to the master. Please tell me what we should do?"
Perhaps thinking about how several of them had been killed by someone, the cold aura on the black-robed man became even colder. He gathered his breath and let out a light breath.
"Tonight, you will go with me in person. I want to see who is in charge of the Huangfu family!" If he can get the thousand-year-old black spirit ginseng, his physical condition will be restored, his damaged soul will be restored, and his strength will be restored to its peak. So, no matter who is in charge, he has to go there in person!
"Yes!" Hearing that he was going there in person, the old man breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that if he went there in person, he should be able to get the thing.
"Hasn't that person been found yet?" the man in black robe asked again.
The old man lowered his head and said, "Not yet. Mainly because no one has seen it, and we don't know if the person is a man or a woman. We can only check for strange monks from other places in the city, so we haven't been able to find out until now."
"Investigate! The person must be found and tortured to death!" he said in a gloomy voice.
"Yes!" the old man responded, then bowed and walked out.
At the Huangfu family's house, Huangfu Xiao, who was always serious, could not hide his excitement and joy as he came to his father's yard: "Father, Yunxue has an epiphany!"
Hearing this, Mr. Huangfu was slightly startled, his eyes slightly widened, with surprise and astonishment in his eyes: "Sudden enlightenment? Yunxue?"
"Yes, last night, because of what Madam Xuanyuan said, I told the people below not to go out, and not to leave the room if they heard any noise. I went to see it this morning, and the corpses piled up in the front yard were as high as a hill, and each of them was a powerful warrior with considerable strength."
Speaking of this, Huangfu Xiao exhaled deeply and said, "When I went there, Madam Xuanyuan had already returned to the courtyard to rest. Only Yunxue, covered in blood, was sitting in front of the pile of corpses and having an epiphany. There was a barrier around them that made it impossible to get close. It must have been set by Madam Xuanyuan."
