Chapter 307: Audacity

The signal rose into the sky, illuminating the entire Chenyang City.

"This is the signal unique to the Family Head; he is summoning us. Quickly, grab your weapons!" The Zhang Family Martial Artists gathered in haste, clutching their weapons as they rushed toward the source of the signal.

At the same time, the Intelligence Personnel of the Huayu Sect also spotted the signal. Combining it with recent news, they immediately realized that something had happened to the Zhang Family and the Qu Family.

Now that both families had sent out distress signals, and one had even been issued by the Zhang Family Head, a major battle was imminent!

Immediately, an Intelligence Personnel dressed in black organized the detailed information and handed it to the person beside him.

"This is an important classified letter. Deliver it to the Sect Master immediately. Remember, be quick!"

The person beside him took the letter and ran rapidly in one direction.

With this brilliant radiance, all of Chenyang City became lively. Families of all sizes sent people to investigate, and for a time, Martial Artists were running everywhere in Chenyang City.

"Hold on, I have already sent the signal to the Family Head. They will come to save us soon!" Qu Shengtao felt relieved after watching the signal launch successfully.

The Martial Artists at the Zhang Family shop saw the signal issued by Qu Shengtao. A spear-wielding Martial Artist stepped forward and shouted: "Aha! I knew you must be from the Qu Family. I really guessed right!"

The Zhang Family certainly recognized the Qu Family's signal. Back when the Qu Family and the Zhang Family were allies, they had even identified each other's signal lights; this signal was as familiar as it could be.

"What's so great about my Qu Family? Didn't Zhang Wan rob our Ziyun Auction House?" Qu Shengtao knew that he and his group had been identified, so he directly took off his black hood, revealing his true face. "Only your Zhang Family is allowed to rob our Ziyun Auction House, but I'm not allowed to rob your shop?"

"Qu Shengtao? It's you!" the spear-wielding Martial Artist said in surprise. "I didn't expect you to have such guts. I thought your Qu Family Elder was leading the team; I didn't expect it to be you, the good-for-nothing Second Young Master of the Qu Family."

Hearing the word 'good-for-nothing', Qu Shengtao was furious: "You're the good-for-nothing! Your whole Family is good-for-nothing!"

"Young Master, now is not the time to talk. The Zhang Family Head could arrive at any moment. Saving our lives is what matters!" The Severed-Finger Martial Artist remained calm and immediately interrupted, seeing that Qu Shengtao was still bickering with the Zhang Family members.

"Run! Yes, run! The Zhang Family Head will definitely not let me go, so I'm dead for sure. Besides, even if he lets me go, our Qu Family will have to pay a huge price, and then Father will like me even less!" Qu Shengtao realized immediately.

If he could run away now, the Qu Family could completely haggle with the Zhang Family. As long as no one was caught on the spot, it wouldn't matter what was said.

"Run that way! There is a lake over there. Once we escape into the lake, they won't be able to catch us!" Qu Shengtao was very familiar with this area and shouted instructions.

"You won't be able to run!" A loud voice rang in everyone's ears. The Man in Black who wanted to run looked in the direction of the voice, but when he saw the figure sprinting on the roof, many Black-Clothed Martial Artists collapsed to the ground.

"Family Head!" The Zhang Family Martial Artists saw the figure and revealed smiles, saying quite respectfully.

The person who arrived was none other than the Zhang Family Head. He nodded at the Zhang Family Martial Artists: "You have done well!"

He then looked at Qu Shengtao and his group, saying in a deep voice: "Qu Shengtao, was it you who brought people to rob my Zhang Family shop? You must have truly grown some guts; are you not afraid of death?"
