"Lord Wang Long! I finally found you." A few people had just left the side courtyard when they bumped into Yu Yaoran, who looked anxious.
"Young Master Yu, what happened?" Wang Long wondered. Recently, as his own power grew, Yu Yaoran had increasingly taken on the demeanor of a head of the family, so it was rare to see him looking this flustered.
"City Lord Lu Feng has summoned us urgently. I heard that something serious has happened in Nanhua City, but I don't have any details yet. What matters is that we must get ahead of my second brother this time and attend the meeting as the legitimate heir of the Yu Family. If our performance satisfies City Lord Lu Feng, then the struggle for the family head position will be settled, and that kid Yucheng won't be able to stir up any trouble again!"
"If that's the case, why not just go directly, Young Master Yu? Why come here? Aren't you afraid your second brother will get ahead of you?" Wang Long said with a hint of amusement, knowing things couldn't be that simple.
Sure enough, Yu Yaoran suddenly bowed deeply to Wang Long. "My second brother is not a concern. According to my reports, he left Nanhua City early this morning and went outside the city. He probably hasn't even received this news yet. Even if his informants in the city report to him, by the time he returns, it will be too late. What worries me more is another matter. Lord Wang Long knows that our Yu Family is currently in a state of division. Although my second brother's strength is far from enough to compete with me, he has managed to take away several of my key subordinates. Plus, I have to guard against him within the Yu Family. So even though I don't know what tasks City Lord Lu Feng will assign us this time, we cannot be careless. We need to make an impression in front of the Lord of the City and other forces so they cannot question us! Therefore, if I could gain your support..."
"Don't worry," Wang Long understood Yu Yaoran's intentions. "This kind of thing is what allies are for. Since we have nothing else to do right now, I might as well accompany you."
"That's great." Given Yu Yaoran's current grasp over the Yu Family, he had already received news about his subordinates offending Wang Long almost immediately after it happened. Fortunately, it seemed there was no significant impact on their alliance; otherwise, he would have been devastated.
After the provocation incident involving the Yu Family's Household Guards, Wang Long was cautious about leaving them alone in the Yu Family. Since they were going to bolster Yu Yaoran's presence anyway, having more people would only help.
Yu Yaoran had no objections. Although initially he valued only Wang Long's support, after gathering intelligence from today's battle, he realized that even those who seemed less capable could still exhibit tremendous combat power when needed—far more useful than ordinary Household Guards.
Wang Long and his group waited for Yu Yaoran's Household Guards team for quite a while. Although Yu Yaoran still trusted Wang Long regarding safety, in a power struggle like this, numbers mattered. Going out in small groups was less imposing than having a full Household Guards team backing them.
The Yu Family was not located too close to the City Lord's mansion, which suited Yu Yaoran's mindset perfectly; it allowed everyone in Nanhua City to clearly recognize who the head of the Yu Family was.
This time his entourage was formidable: the top Household Guard Yu Bing and all members of the renowned Blazing Iron Vanguard made an appearance—definitely a deliberate show of strength since they were not typically used for guarding but were elite fighters meant for charging into battle.
Of course, there were also many like Wang Long—lesser-known figures who had recently joined under the banner of the Yu Family at Yu Yaoran's behest. Their position was already deep within the formation; it seemed that Yu Yaoran hadn't managed to recruit anyone stronger than Wang Long.
Along their way, they encountered many others heading toward the City Lord's mansion as well; everyone treated Yu Yaoran with warmth and friendliness, almost implicitly acknowledging his status as head of the Yu Family.
At this moment, Yu Yaoran felt immensely proud. As he waved his folding fan and pointed at the newly arrived icy wooden bridge, he was about to recite a poem to express his current exuberance when...
Wang Long sensed an unusual fluctuation!
Extremely light!
Extremely weak!
But, extremely dangerous!
"Be careful of an enemy attack!" For some reason, this slight fluctuation made Wang Long feel an intense sense of danger!
The intruder was not friendly!
At this moment, everyone except Wang Long had not noticed anything unusual, but in Wang Long's perception, the opponent had already infiltrated among the Household Guards!
"Earth Dragon Technique! Thousand Facet Shield!" The ground suddenly cracked open. Although Nanhua City was protected by various Jade Slip Spirit Talismans, it could not compare to Wang Long's Spiritual Essence power at this moment.
"Huh?" The assailant finally showed a look of surprise as a soil crystal shield suddenly rose from the cracked ground, perfectly blocking in front of him, demonstrating precise control over his position!
At this time, the other Household Guards and Yu Yaoran finally saw the true face of this assassin!
"Shadow Slash!" Faced with the powerful earth shield, the assassin did not even need to make a move. An invisible Blade Qi swept through, and Wang Long's Thousand Facet Shield was easily sliced in two.
However, Wang Long's main objective had already been achieved. Now the entire Yu Family's Household Guards were on high alert and quickly gathered around Yu Yaoran to protect him securely. Yu Bing then charged forward with a team of elite Household Guards directly towards the location of the assassin.
"Who are you, Your Excellency? Who sent you?" After the initial panic from the attack subsided, Yu Yaoran saw that he was under tight protection and began to calmly apply pressure on the assassin. Although he still did not know the assassin's strength, the fact that he could silently approach him indicated that he possessed considerable ability. If he could be recruited as a spy, then any movements from his younger brother would not escape his notice.
"Want to ask who I am? You think you’re worthy?" Despite facing Yu Bing and others' fierce attacks, the assassin appeared calm and composed. The elusive "Shadow Slash" would suddenly appear at critical moments, effortlessly neutralizing their hard-earned lethal strikes.
Yu Bing would never underestimate Wang Long. Although he did not know how the Earth Shield was summoned, Yu Bing felt the powerful and solid Earth Elemental Power within it. However, such a strong technique was easily shattered by the opponent's Shadow Slash, making them even more cautious about facing its sharpness directly.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be quite a big shot," Yu Yaoran sneered. "But with Your Excellency's 'noble' status, why would you pay attention to someone as insignificant as me? I don't recall having any grudges against Your Excellency."
"No grudges?" The assassin's eyes shot out with deep hatred. "You killed my disciple; isn't that a grudge? Today, I will surely slay you under my shadowy blade!"
"Your disciple?" Yu Yaoran was taken aback, not understanding who he was referring to.
"Your Excellency is the master of the Ninja Four Spirit Gods?" Wang Long, however, had been observing all of the opponent's movements and felt a vague sense of familiarity. The way he wielded Primordial Power was distinctly different from what he had encountered with the Divine Clan Sect, making it easy to recognize.
"What!" Upon hearing Wang Long's sudden judgment, everyone was taken aback!
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that there are still some non-idiots here who can recognize my style so quickly! But it was you who personally killed my four disciples back then, right? Today, all of you shall die!"
"Retreat!" Yu Bing was greatly alarmed and quickly warned his subordinates who had attacked alongside him.
What a joke! The Ninja Four Spirit Gods were already one of the most famous assassin organizations in the vicinity of Nanhua City. Now that their master had personally come forward, what kind of formidable strength would that be! They were still trying to engage in battle with him; wasn't that courting death?
