Chapter 1207: Chapter 1207

"He and An Tian disappeared. I’m not sure if they were captured or thrown into a sea of fire, but anyway, this lead is broken."

Chen Cang gritted his teeth and reported.

"It seems like their response speed is quite fast too."

Tang Ming nodded and instructed, "You need to return to Songlan City immediately, don’t take any risks. The enemy isn’t simple this time."

"I understand. Even our two masters and Brother Ming were harmed, the killer... is too ruthless."

Chen Cang responded, then hung up the phone.

"Four Six-star Martial Masters."

Tang Ming put down the phone and looked out the window with suspicion: "It’s rare for a Martial Arts Sect to have so many Six-star Martial Masters. In sects like the Poison Sect, Flowing Cloud Sect, or Heavenly Cloud Sect, even having one Six-star Martial Master is impressive. But four appearing at once is quite a formidable force."

Four Six-star Martial Masters capable of defeating a Seven-star Martial Master, such a lineup can only be matched by the Ming Group, Dark Group, or more advanced Martial Arts Families and Martial Arts Sects; ordinary forces don’t have this capability.

The Ming Group is definitely involved, but with Elder An missing and without any evidence, he can’t directly accuse them, so he can only disgust those people from the Ming Group.

The two women have already gone upstairs, leaving only Tang Ming in the empty hall. He looked at his packed bags and now has to put them back in, what a hassle.

His endeavor failed, and now he can only accept it.

Tang Ming picked up his bags and returned to his room to consider his next steps.

After dealing with the poisoning incident at the hotel, he immediately called Xia Wei’er to report his safety. At this time, Wei’er should be asleep, so he couldn’t disturb her rest.

However, he couldn’t fall asleep in bed, and Shen Yan’s warning came to mind. To quell the assassin’s killing intent, he decided to go see the situation.

He shouldn’t openly live in the villa with Liu Mengting and others anymore, but to protect Liu Mengting, the ideal place to stay is at Shen Yan’s house across the street. If he can stay there temporarily, he might lure out the bad guys.

With this thought, Tang Ming got up, got dressed, and quietly went downstairs.

After arriving at the hall, he looked up out the window and saw a figure holding a telescope standing by the window of the villa opposite. Tang Ming suddenly felt a shiver run down his spine.

"What on earth is this woman up to?"

Tang Ming quickly turned off the lights; the feeling of being watched every day was really annoying.

He originally planned to see what Shen Yan was up to, but seeing this setup, Tang Ming decided it was wiser to go back to his room and sleep. He’d deal with the house issue later.

What if Shen Yan had set up a trap at home? He’d be walking right into it.

With that thought, Tang Ming decisively returned to his room and went to sleep.

Half an hour later, his phone suddenly received a text message: "Good, the war continues."

Looking at the message, Tang Ming felt helpless; it must have come from Shen Yan.

"Whatever, isn’t it just an assassination? Am I, the mighty me, going to be afraid of you, a mere little assassin?"

Tang Ming shook his head, then turned off his phone and fell asleep.

Shen Yan sat angrily in her home’s hall, glaring at the table set with several dishes and two candles.

"That bastard really is ignoring me. Looks like I was overthinking."

Shen Yan muttered through gritted teeth.

Back during the competition when Tang Xin saved her life, her feelings had been complicated. Her pure body was compromised, but she wasn’t that angry; she just kept thinking about Tang Ming, which was an unprecedented conflict.

Now knowing that Tang Ming and Tang Xin are the same person, realizing that the person who unleashed his rage to save her during the competition and healed her was Tang Ming, her mood relaxed significantly.

She originally intended to invite Tang Ming over to formally reconcile, to stop the fighting, but unexpectedly, he stood her up. It’s intolerable.

"Hmph, if you don’t take me seriously, I’ll continue to kill you. I don’t believe that I, the top female assassin, the Poison Widow, can’t kill an Eigh-star Martial Master."

Shen Yan raised her hand, threw two steel needles, and extinguished the candles. Then, she angrily went upstairs.

The next day, Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli went to school, while Tang Ming temporarily freed himself from school life because Tang Ming is "dead," and there’s no need for Tang Xin to attend school.

The news of Tang Ming’s death quickly spread in Songlan City, but it did not cause much chaos because Tang Xin took over all of Tang Ming’s assets and announced that everything would proceed as usual.

On the same morning, Tang Xin held a funeral for himself, and leaders from all major forces in Songlan City attended. Heads of a few Martial Arts Families and business families were extremely sorrowful.

Notably, when Chen Cang came back, he was just in time for "Tang Ming’s" burial and cried so sorrowfully that he almost joined the coffin.

The entire process of the funeral was recorded by some attentive people, and when the members of the Ming Group and those forces hostile to Tang Ming received the news, they were overjoyed.

Especially seeing Chen Cang, Zhou Dafu, and others’ genuinely sorrowful expressions, these people had no doubts about Tang Ming’s death.

However, they did not notice that none of the women closest to Tang Ming appeared.

After the funeral, Tang Ming officially retreated to the background. Regardless of whether it was Tangming Group or Jun Tianhao Hotel, he only held a titular position, while he spent the next few days converting An Family’s building into the Dark Group’s Songlan City branch.

On the third day after the funeral, Tang Ming held a meeting with Chu Batian, Xin Badao, and Chen Cang at the branch.

When Chen Cang met Xin Badao and Chu Batian, he was startled.

"Wow, who are these two? Why do they look so much like my two masters?"

Chen Cang looked at the two, confused, and asked Tang Ming.

"If you don’t mind, you can think of them as your two masters."

Tang Ming suggested with a smile.

"Are you kidding? My two masters have passed away. Even though these two look like them, they’re only a few years older than I am; how could they replace my masters?"

Chen Cang rolled his eyes at Tang Ming.

"Hehe, let me introduce them."

Tang Ming nodded and introduced, "These two are the heirs of Chu Batian and Xin Badao, Chu Badao and Xin Batian."

Hearing these names, Chen Cang almost choked on his own saliva. What on earth is this situation?

"Hello, junior brother, I’m Chu Badao (Xin Batian)!"

Chu Batian and Xin Badao greeted Chen Cang in a pretentious manner.

"Your names are too suspicious. Why do I find it hard to believe?"

Chen Cang scratched his head, scrutinizing them suspiciously.
