Chapter 17 token

A trace of annoyance appeared on Qin Ming's face. He had not expected the Man in Black to be so unyielding; seeing no hope of escape, he had directly poisoned himself to death.

He blamed himself as well, not having expected the Man in Black to hide poison in his teeth.

However, it did not matter. The Qin Family was safe for now, and sooner or later, this organization would come looking again.

Qin Ming began to search the Man in Black's body, wanting to see if there were any clues.

"What is this?" A token was pulled out from the Man in Black's body by Qin Ming.

The token was brass-colored, seemingly metal yet not quite, with the character "Tong" written on one side and a fiery red scorpion pattern depicted on the other.

"This should be the identification token of this organization. With this item, it will be easier to investigate this mysterious organization in the future."

Qin Ming began to strip off the Man in Black's clothes, checking his body.

The poison in the Man in Black's palm had left a deep impression on Qin Ming; he wanted to see exactly how the Man in Black had activated his poisonous palm.

If one were to say it was due to Internal Skill, Qin Ming absolutely did not believe it; Internal Skill could absolutely not contain such potent poison.

On the back of the Man in Black, a fiery red scorpion pattern caught Qin Ming's eyes.

Qin Ming checked it and discovered that the poison originated from this scorpion pattern. However, the Man in Black was already dead, and Qin Ming did not know how the Man in Black had used the pattern to unleash the poisonous palm.

Nighttime, Liu City Lord's Mansion.

"Master, something terrible has happened!" An old man ran hurriedly to the City Lord's bedroom and shouted loudly outside the door.

This old man was the City Lord's butler; he managed everything inside the City Lord's Mansion.

"Come in. What on earth happened to make you so flustered?" Leaving the warm quilt, the Middle-aged Man said while putting on his clothes.

"Creak!" The door was pushed open by the old butler. Seeing the City Lord on the bed putting on clothes and a woman lying on the bed with her lotus-root-like fragrant shoulders exposed, the old butler lowered his head, stood by the door, and said:

"Master, the Zhao Family has been annihilated. Over five hundred people, all of them are dead!"

"What?" The City Lord, who had been calm and composed, instantly lost his composure, and his movements in dressing immediately sped up.

"Who on earth annihilated the Zhao Family?"

"I don't know. When it was discovered that the Zhao Family had been annihilated, the people of the Zhao Family had already been dead for some time, and the culprit did not leave behind any clues," the old man said.

The City Lord frowned and said, "To be able to annihilate the Zhao Family with Soundlessness, it must be an expert. The Zhao Family Head is at the Grand Martial Master Realm. Although he is only at the second level of the Great Martial Master, his strength cannot be underestimated."

"By the way, is the Zhao Family Head dead?"

"Dead! Everyone is dead!" The old man's voice trembled slightly: "The entire Zhao Family, even the dogs are dead."

Hearing the butler's words, the City Lord felt a panic in his heart. A Martial Artist at the Grand Martial Master Realm had died.

He was also only at the Grand Martial Master Realm, which meant that if the culprit could annihilate the Zhao Family, they could also annihilate his City Lord's Mansion.

Perhaps because the City Lord's movements were too large, it woke the woman on the bed.

"Master, where are you going? Stay and keep me company. Let's talk about whatever it is tomorrow!" The woman's voice was coquettish; in the past, whenever she used this trick, the City Lord would stay with her longer.

"Get lost." The City Lord slapped the woman across the face, stood up, and strode towards the door.

Although this woman was beautiful, she was truly an idiot. At a time like this, he was almost burning with anxiety; how could he have the heart to sleep?

The old butler also followed the City Lord closely, rushing towards the Zhao Family.
