The counterattack begins

Qianyan City. A great battle had taken place here a few days ago; Martial Artists under the Evil Young Master's command had occupied a Restaurant in this city, an action that many Martial Artists found incomprehensible.

"What do you think is going on? Now that the Evil Young Master is so famous, if he wanted a Restaurant, he could just buy it with Spirit Stones. Is it really worth saving a few Spirit Stones to seize it by force?" a Young Martial Artist said while drinking tea in a teahouse.

Many nearby Martial Artists nodded in agreement upon hearing the Young Martial Artist's words.

"Could this be the Evil Young Master's style? This is just too shameless. If I were under his command, I'd probably die of shame," another Young Martial Artist said disdainfully.

"Hey… you young people, don't talk nonsense. Be careful, or your words will bring you trouble." The teahouse Manager immediately came over to stop them upon hearing this.

"The Evil Young Master is a top-tier Martial Emperor. If he hears these words, you're all dead."

"What's there to fear? If he dares to do it, why shouldn't we talk about it? Right now, who in the entire Great Xia Dynasty doesn't despise the Evil Young Master's character?" several Young Men jeered.

"You don't understand." The Manager shook his head and said, "There must be a reason why the Evil Young Master is doing this. A figure like him wouldn't do something so damaging to his reputation just for a few Spirit Stones.

Truly clever people can see that he's striking at a certain Power."

Everyone was slightly stunned and fell into thought.

"Manager, the bill." At that moment, several young people holding Azure Rainbow Swords stood up, placed their silver on the table, and left.

"Big Sister, when do you think we'll take action? We've been observing for three days, and all the intelligence has been gathered. Everything is foolproof now," a young woman asked the leading woman somewhat impatiently.

"It's about time. This time, we must establish the prestige of Shadow and strike fear into all these Martial Artists of the Demonic Sect," the leading woman's eyes were sharp with Killing Intent, her tone cold.

"Yes." Having received the woman's affirmative answer, the young people behind her were overjoyed.

These people were none other than members of the Shadow organization. Ever since they received the Medicinal Pills bestowed by their Sect, they had begun preparing for revenge.

"Everyone, take the Medicinal Pills and prepare to move," the leading woman ordered.

"Yes." Everyone took out a small jade bottle and poured out a spotted Medicinal Pill. Most striking of all, this Medicinal Pill actually had nine veins.

Nine is the ultimate number; these Medicinal Pills were all of perfect quality.

Seeing how they consumed the Medicinal Pills without any heartache or hesitation, it was clear that such Medicinal Pills were quite common to them.

"All of you, proceed according to plan." After taking the Medicinal Pill, the leading woman flickered and disappeared into an alleyway.

As she ran, the woman's appearance changed drastically, actually turning into a Young Man.

After emerging from the alleyway, the man was dressed as a Servant. He looked around and walked toward a mansion.

The others from Shadow did much the same, transforming into various guises and disappearing into various corners of the city.

Inside a mansion, a banquet was being held. Several fierce-looking Middle-aged Men were eating meat and drinking wine in large gulps, each with a young woman sitting beside them.

"Brothers, isn't this life great?" one of the short-haired Middle-aged Men asked, pulling the woman in his arms closer.
