Blood stained the Gobi Desert.

Under the setting sun, a number of helicopter gunships hovered in the air.

Below, the neat rows of tanks and armored vehicles roared with deafening noise.

Looking around, tens of thousands of bodies covered the Gobi Desert.

An hour ago, they were the most powerful, cruel and inhumane mercenary Black Mamba Group. At this moment, they were all dead.

They were defeated by the invincible army before them. This army, known as the War Lord Hall, was also the most powerful army of its time.

…

A helicopter suddenly accelerated and stopped above the lead armored vehicle.

A heavily armed fighter jumped from the helicopter, landed on one knee, and exclaimed: "Chief Master. We have made a major discovery at the base of the Black Mamba Group."

Xiao Zhan opened the door and stepped out.

He wore a desert camouflage uniform, tall and imposing.

Xiao Zhan threw the cigarette on the ground and slowly took the information from the soldier.

Upon seeing the second page, Xiao Zhan's lips twitched slightly.

"Interesting. They intend to research a medicine from my DNA to augment their combat capabilities."

Xiao Zhan flipped to the next page, and his smile instantly disappeared, replaced by a shock on his face.

Suddenly, as if he had remembered something, Xiao Zhan swiftly flipped through the documents in his hand, and an icy and hostile air automatically pervaded the atmosphere.

Five years ago, he was on the verge of death in an abandoned park in the Upper Capital. It was a girl named Ye Wei who saved him.

Xiao Zhan couldn't forget how Ye Wei, a college student at the time, tirelessly undertook three jobs each day to buy medicine for him.

He can't forget that girl, who was purer than snow lotus, always telling him with a smile, "You should recover soon!"

He couldn't forget the farewell letter that Ye Wei had left for him. "I'm getting married in my hometown. Do not look for me."

But now!

The information before him showed that Ye Wei was not married and gave birth to a child four years ago.

The child's father was none other than Xiao Zhan himself.

Xiao Zhan exuded a surge of momentum. All the soldiers immediately lined up, waiting quietly for Xiao Zhan's orders.

"Brothers!"

"I have some good news! I have become a father!"

Xiao Zhan's eyes turned red, and his angry voice broke through the clouds and resounded throughout the desert.

"But!"

"The remnants of the Black Mamba Group have gone to the Yanlong Kingdom and tried to kidnap my wife and daughter."

Upon hearing this, all the soldiers' eyes instantly turned red, and The overwhelming sense of imminent slaughter scared the vultures hovering in the sky to scatter in panic.

All the soldiers roared, "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Xiao Zhan jumped up and stood at the door of the helicopter.

He looked down at the warriors and roared, "Make your way to Yunshan City of Yanlong Kingdom within three days! Kill everyone who obstructs our path!"

After he finished speaking, the helicopter accelerated sharply and headed east.

Two minutes later, a piece of breathtaking news caused a sensation in the world.

The War Lord Hall destroyed The Black Mamba Group, a well-known mercenary group in the world.

Then, all the major forces in the world received the news that all the members of the War Lord Hall were heading towards the Yanlong Kingdom!

At this moment, they realized the War Lord Hall's true capability had been severely underestimated by the world.

According to the calculation, the members of the War Lord Hall were about 50,000. But now, the members had already exceeded 150,000 after they exposed their identities.

Furthermore, the dozens of Celestial-level Powerhouses and tens of thousands of Earth-level Powerhouses in the War Lord Hall made countless forces tremble.

At the General Security Department base, the Upper Capital, Yanlong Kingdom.

The entire base erupted into a cacophony of alarms, causing nervousness among the tens of thousands of staff.

They sat in front of their computers, watching surveillance videos of the country, and said, "The number is still increasing! What is the War Lord Hall going to do?"

In the enclosed conference room, hundreds of people from the General Security Department were fixing on the digital display.

On the display was a large satellite map. Numerous small red dots were approaching the Yanlong Kingdom from all over the world.

A middle-aged man stood up and roared: "In just five years since its founding, the War Lord Hall has successfully destroyed over three hundred powerful dark forces. I always consider them the righteous side."

"But now, who can tell me the purpose of their visit to Yanlong Kingdom?"

The old man, sitting opposite him, frowned, shook his head and said, "Undoubtedly, the War Lord Hall is a righteous party."

"All the dark forces that the War Lord Hall destroyed were the enemies of our Yanlong Kingdom. What's more, all the members of the War Lord Hall are descendants of our Yanlong Kingdom."

A senior official asked with doubt, "For five years, the War Lord Hall has never set foot on the Yanlong Kingdom. Could the hidden forces in our Yanlong Kingdom spur this large-scale operation?"

Upon hearing what he said, everyone present was shocked.

If so, it indicated a neglect of duty on the part of the Security Department.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man's dignified face appeared on the digital display.

Everyone present rose to salute.

The middle-aged man replied with a "hmm" and said slowly, "The War Lord Hall's operation doesn't target the Yanlong Kingdom. Immediately order the security department to refrain from intervening in the War Lord Hall's activities."

Hearing the words of the middle-aged man, everyone present heaved a sigh of relief.

At the same time, the intelligence agents deployed within the Yanlong Kingdom by the major global powers received an urgent order, instructing them to swiftly withdraw from the Yanlong Kingdom and refrain from engaging in any confrontations with the War Lord Hall.

Yunshan City.

No one knew who received the news that a prominent figure was coming.

In no time, numerous noble families in Yunshan City were inquisitive about him and sought to establish connections with him.

But they didn't know this prominent figure came to Yunshan City with anger.

…

Xiao Zhan stood on the top of Yunjiang Tower, a landmark building in Yunshan City, and overlooked the whole of Yunshan City.

There were also several corpses floating on the water below. If you looked closely, these corpses bore the unique mark of the Black Mamba Group on their necks.

A man in white in his thirties ran across the river and leaped. It took him less than five seconds to reach the top of the tower.

He put his right fist on his chest, and said respectfully to Xiao Zhan. "Chief Master, all the people deployed within the Yanlong Kingdom by the major global powers have been intercepted."

"Furthermore, it has been ascertained through interrogations that the final two people affiliated with the Black Mamba Group hid themselves."

Xiao Zhan looked coldly at the bodies floating on the water. His calm voice hid a tremendous anger, like the deep sea before a storm.

"Have you found any news about Ye Wei?"

The man in white shook his head, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Chief Master, we found just ten people named Ye Wei in Yunshan City. Among these people, only the daughter of the Ye family fits the age criteria."

"But the Ye family is the richest family in Yunshan City, not the poor family you mentioned."

"Moreover, Miss Ye is going to get married tomorrow."

Xiao Zhan's eyes quivered.

"Jiang Yuan, visit the Ye family and see if Miss Ye is the one I am looking for. If she is, arrange someone to protect her."

"If she married the right person, offer my blessings."

Jiang Yuan nodded and swiftly descended from the top of the tower before striding across the river, eventually vanishing from sight.

At Ye's Manor, located dozens of miles away, vibrant lights illuminated the surroundings, creating an atmosphere filled with jubilation.

In the depths of the manor, a two-story building was encircled by more than a dozen men, and even a mosquito could not fly out.

The second-floor bedroom door was closed. A beautiful woman stood at the door with a meal and persuaded Ye Wei. "Weiwei, no one can change your grandfather's decision. Just listen to me and marry into the Xiao family."

"The Xiao family is a noble family in the Upper Capital. They are much stronger than our family. This union will serve to your advantage."

"Besides, you are so lucky that the Xiao family picked you among several ladies of the Ye family."

Not getting a response from Ye Wei, Li Fang sighed deeply: "I entered into marriage with the Ye family for the sake of union. Now things are going smoothly. Trust me, eat something and have a good sleep. You will have a happy wedding ceremony tomorrow."

"I'm not your mother, but I do care about you. At least response."

In the bedroom, Ye Wei was huddled beneath the window ledge, wearing the same white short-sleeved shirt and blue jeans she had been apprehended in five days ago. However, it was evident that she was thinner.

Her long hair was scattered on her shoulders, her delicate face wore a worn-out expression, and her tear-filled eyes ominously mirrored a mix of despair and anger.

She kept calling Yaoyao.

Her daughter was the only meaningful connection she had in her entire life with that man.

As Ye Wei considered the man's appearance, she felt her eyes sore, with tears welling up.

Outside the door, Li Fang received no response. After a brief pause, she continued, "Ye Wei, do not take offense at my words. Even if you have no concern for your own well-being, you should consider that little bastard."

"Your grandfather said you can refuse that marriage. It doesn't matter if you starve to death. But that bastard will die with you!"
