Even the Prince Muyeno Estate Must Pay With Lives

"Greetings, Young Master!" As soon as she saw Ian Song, Qin Xiaoyu hurriedly bowed.

"Greetings, Master!"

An early Fusion guard and six late Soul-Split guards, including Yiyuan, showed even greater deference.

Seeing his four Soul-Split guards all heavily injured, Gavin Gong—the top guard of the Prince Muyeno Estate—looked extremely grim.

"Brother Gavin, should we step in and show these people what real power looks like?" Two early Fusion guards volunteered.

"No need for now!"

Gavin Gong waved his hand, stepped forward, and unleashed the aura of a late Fusion expert, pressing down on Ian Song: "So you are the current master of this residence, Ian Song?"

"That's right. What advice do you have for me?" Ian replied calmly, completely unaffected by the other man's aura.

Noticing Ian's composure under his pressure, Gavin Gong was a bit surprised. He narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "I am Gavin Gong, senior guard of the Prince Muyeno Estate. I have come under orders from Young Prince Muyeno to reclaim this residence!"

Ian Song smiled and shook his head. "Sorry, I only just bought this estate and I'm quite comfortable living here, so I have no intention of selling it for now."

Gavin Gong sneered, "I think you're mistaken. I'm here under orders to take this residence back, not to buy it. So, whether you want to move or not, you're moving!"

"I heard that the entire Prince Muyeno Estate was expelled from the capital by the Empress and forbidden to ever return, right?" Ian Song suddenly changed the subject.

Gavin Gong snorted, "Hmph, that's all ancient history. Our Young Prince Muyeno has already received the Empress's decree and brought everyone from the Prince Muyeno Estate back. He's on his way to meet the Empress and will soon be granted the title of Prince Muyeno. Kid, if you know what's good for you, hand the residence over to Young Prince Muyeno, or when he gets angry, your whole family won't escape death!"

"Quite the arrogance!" Ian Song shook his head again, sneering. "I spent hundreds of thousands of top-grade spirit crystals to buy this estate, and now you want it for free and threaten my whole family? Do you think I'm made of clay, with no temper? Leave the murderer behind and get out, or don't blame me for keeping all of you here!"

Gavin Gong was momentarily stunned by Ian's words, then burst out laughing. "Kid, you really don't know your place, daring to go against the Prince Muyeno Estate. In that case, die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gavin Gong reached out to grab him.

With that grab, the surrounding void seemed locked down. Everyone felt frozen in place, unable to move, as a chilling black claw imprint descended towards Ian Song's head.

"Who dares harm my master!"

At that moment, a booming shout rang out. A figure flashed in front of Ian Song, raising a hand and pointing a finger.

"Pop!"

The chilling claw imprint was shattered by a single finger. Then, the newcomer strode forward, unleashing nineteen consecutive punches, each faster than the last. For a moment, the world was filled with overwhelming fist intent, and the terrifying force of those punches shattered the entire space, turning it into a time–space black hole.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of impacts echoed from within the time–space black hole, frightening both sides’ entourages into retreat. The only one left standing in place was Ian Song.

After about half a stick of incense.

A battered figure was blasted out of the black hole, staggering back several hundred meters before barely managing to steady himself, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

The next moment, a tall figure stepped out of the black hole, eyes filled with contempt as he stared at Gavin Gong. "With skills like yours, you dare to make trouble at my master's residence?"

This tall figure was Travis Nie, one of the eight leaders Ian Song brought out from the Second Tier of the Demon Prison. He had advanced to late Fusion, and with the techniques and divine abilities taught by Ian, his combat power was terrifying.

Of course, his strength was still a bit below the Tiger King, Eagle King, and Snake King, but he was far stronger than Gavin Gong.

Ian Song could defeat late Fusion experts himself, but he preferred not to reveal his full strength. So when he saw a late Fusion opponent causing trouble, he let Travis handle it.

Gavin Gong’s face turned ugly at Travis Nie’s mockery. The next moment, his gaze shifted back to Ian Song. "Kid, do you really think having one late Fusion expert is enough to stand against the Prince Muyeno Estate? The humiliation you've dealt us today will be repaid a hundredfold. We're leaving!"

"Hold it!"

Ian Song suddenly called out.

"What more do you want?" Gavin Gong stared coldly at Ian Song.

"Your guard killed one of my servants. Are you just planning to leave like this?" Ian Song said in a deep voice.

"A lowly person died, so what? What do you want?"

"A life for a life!"

"What?" Gavin Gong could hardly believe his ears, staring at Ian Song in shock. "You want a life for a life? You expect a Soul-Split expert from the Prince Muyeno Estate to pay for a mere Golden Core servant? Are you joking?"

Ian Song replied seriously, "I'm not joking. Ma Jiu was part of my Song Residence. As his master, I have to take responsibility for him. Unfortunately, I don't have the power to bring the dead back to life, so I can only avenge him!"

"Ian Song, don't go too far!" Gavin Gong roared.

"Old Nie, take his life!" Ian Song glanced at the pale-faced Soul-Split guard.

"Die!"

Travis Nie stepped forward and threw a punch.

"No!"

The guard tried to flee, but Travis Nie's fist was much faster. He barely moved before the punch landed, and with a splatter, his body exploded into a cloud of blood mist!

Seeing this, Gavin Gong's face turned ashen, but he knew he was no match for Travis Nie and that staying would only end badly.

"We're leaving!"

"Brother Song, you were a bit impulsive this time. The Prince Muyeno Estate isn't easy to deal with!"

Just then, Jasper Easton arrived with two Fusion guards.

"What brings you here, Brother Jasper?"

Ian Song didn’t seem to care about the Prince Muyeno Estate at all, smiling as he spoke.

Jasper Easton sighed, "I heard that Young Prince Muyeno returned with everyone from the estate, so I came to warn you. I didn't expect to be too late. Now that you've killed a guard from the Prince Muyeno Estate, this won't be easy to resolve!"

"Wasn't the Prince Muyeno Estate expelled from the capital and forbidden to ever return?" Ian Song asked again.

Jasper Easton replied with frustration, "The Prince Muyeno himself is dead. Before dying, he wrote to the Empress, begging her to let his son bring the estate back to the capital. The Empress relented and agreed!"

"I see!" Ian Song nodded. "Since you're here, Brother Jasper, why not come inside for some tea?"

"No need. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave."

Watching Jasper Easton leave, Ian Song’s lips curled in a faint smile. Clearly, Jasper Easton didn’t want to get involved in his dispute with Young Prince Muyeno. Even a playboy like Jasper was avoiding conflict, which showed just how formidable Young Prince Muyeno must be.
