Return of the King, Dominating the City

Chapter 1911: Chapter 1767: Discussion_2

He pressed the remote control, and the projector projected an image onto the screen.

In the image, a young man in a suit had a mischievous smile on his face, with a lazy demeanor, looking like a homebody who stays in playing games all day—nothing like a master!

Everyone exhibited a look of confusion; they hadn’t seen this young man before.

"Ah! It’s him!"

At that moment, a surprised voice came from the wall.

Everybody looked over and saw that the voice came from Shen Bing, who was sitting in a chair against the wall.

Though Shen Bing was the third son of the Shen Family Patriarch, Shen Kunpeng, he didn’t receive special treatment, because in this family, everything is determined by strength.

Of course, since he is Shen Kunpeng’s son, Shen Kunpeng still protects him.

For instance, when Shen Bing got injured this time, Shen Kunpeng showed some concern, though he’s been too busy to inquire further.

At this moment, Shen Bing shouted in surprise, but there are rules in front of everyone, and Shen Kunpeng sternly said, "Why are you yelling blindly, is this a place for you to speak?"

Old Second, Shen Kunyue, advised, "Big brother, let Shen Bing continue. He seems to recognize this person."

Shen Kunpeng nodded, and only then did Shen Bing start to speak: "This guy is Song Yun. I ran into him in Yanjing a few days ago and got beaten by him."

Having said that, Shen Bing didn’t continue.

Such an embarrassing matter is best left unsaid.

But Shen Kunpeng pursued, "What on earth happened?"

Shen Bing displayed an embarrassed expression and recounted the cause and effect of the matter, but omitted the part where he knelt.

After hearing Shen Bing’s words, everyone was enraged.

Shen Bing, being a member of the Hermit Family, was humiliated by some mundane kid this way.

Their Shen Family’s face, where can it be put?

Shen Kunpeng’s face was gloomy, he didn’t continue chasing after Shen Bing’s affairs, but instead, he looked at Old Second, Shen Kunyue, and said, "Second brother, continue."

Shen Kunyue pointed at the projector screen, then continued, "This person is named Song Yun. He killed all ten ss-ranked poker players. One of them was named Qinghu, who he had killed in Singapore earlier. The other nine were killed by him at the martial arts meet not long ago."

Old Ninth, Shen Kunhu, said, "What realm is this kid in, to be so formidable!?"

Shen Kunyue continued, "According to the information we’re controlling now, this person has recently advanced to ss rank, but he possesses an extraordinarily powerful movement technique, capable of covering a hundred meters in the blink of an eye."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed; traversing a hundred meters in the blink of an eye equates to the early stage of sss!

Shen Kunyue continued, "Furthermore, he has a strange broken sword in his possession, extremely powerful; its Sword Qi can instantly kill mid ss-ranked Qingyang. I suspect it is a high-tech weapon, with energy infused into the sword body, then launched as Sword Qi. But this is just speculation; to understand what’s up with that broken sword, it needs to be obtained."

Both compared to sss-level speed and instant-killing mid ss-ranked sword.

This kid, is he not invincible among the ss ranks.

After hearing this, even members of the worldly-wise Shen Family were speechless.

Old Ninth, Shen Kunhu, let out a cold snort, "No matter how formidable this kid is, he’s just an ss rank after all. Big brother, take action and capture him; let’s see what else he can do."

"No can do."

Shen Kunpeng shook his head, pondering, "There’s an agreement among the Hermit Realm; sss experts must not touch mundane people. I’m already a half-step sss, considered one of them, so I cannot break the rules. Otherwise, it’d provide other forces with an excuse to attack the Shen Family."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a headache.

As a powerful Hermit Family, enduring headache over a mundane young person has never occurred within a thousand years.

While everyone was depressed, Old Second, Shen Kunyue, laughed awkwardly, "Big brother, although we indeed cannot act against this person, the reason you mentioned is merely one. There’s another reason why we cannot touch him personally."

Hearing that besides the reason for not acting against Song Yun, there’s another cause, members of the Shen Family looked at Shen Kunyue with suspicion.

Shen Kunpeng pondered, "Second brother, could it be this boy has some background?"

"Not only does he have a background, but it’s a significant one."

Shen Kunyue showed a wry smile on his face and continued, "This young man called Song Yun is Yaksha’s disciple and also the heir of the Yanjing Song Family."

What, Yaksha’s disciple! The heir of the Song Family!

Upon hearing this, the Shen Family members at the conference table all frowned.

After a long silence, the Family Head Shen Kunpeng spoke, "I really didn’t expect this person to be Yaksha’s disciple, and to have such power in the secular world. In that case, we definitely can’t act directly. If that maniac Yaksha finds out, who knows what chaos will ensue."

The older Shen Family members quietly nodded, agreeing with Shen Kunpeng’s assessment.

However, the younger generation was completely in the dark.

Because they’ve never heard of this Yaksha.

But since their elders didn’t speak, the younger ones didn’t dare to ask, as it wasn’t their place to speak here.

Lao Jiu Shen Kunhu grumbled, "That dog Yaksha, how old is he already, yet he still won’t die."

Lao Er Shen Kunyue said, "It’s said he once entered Taoyuan, though whether it’s true or not is unknown. In any case, this person is very dangerous, and we cannot draw attention to the Shen Family."

Lao Liu Shen Kunhai said, "Too bad the old master hasn’t come out of seclusion; otherwise, we wouldn’t fear Yaksha."

The Family Head Shen Kunpeng pondered for a moment, then said, "Although the Shen Family cannot act, we can have others kill Song Yun. He’s ruined significant matters for our Shen Family and humiliated Shen Bing. He’s a great enemy to us and must die!"

"Big brother, what are you planning to do?" Lao Er Shen Kunyue inquired.

Shen Kunpeng mused, "Get in touch with some overseas families; this time, have the Blood Clan make a move and see if this young Song Yun can still handle it."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up.

Lao Jiu Shen Kunhu laughed, "The Blood Clan, those bats are quite unsightly, but they’re best known for their speed. Although Song Yun has powerful movement techniques, he doesn’t have much advantage over the Blood Clan."

Lao Er Shen Kunyue said, "However, to deal with Song Yun requires the high-ranking members of the Blood Clan, and it’s not easy to get them to act."

"But they lack resources; as long as we can meet their price, they will definitely act." Shen Kunpeng’s face showed a murderous intent as he said grimly, "This time, regardless of the cost, we must get the Medegu Family to act. Song Yun must die!"

"Yes, big brother."

Lao Er Shen Kunyue nodded.

"This person’s just over twenty and has already reached the SS level. Quite the genius; I’d really like to test him out."

Suddenly, a voice came from the end of the conference table.

The speaker was a young man, looking about in his early twenties, with a handsome and striking appearance, and a pair of eyes radiating innate arrogance, as if nothing was worth paying attention to.

Other young people were seated on chairs against the wall; he was the only one sitting at the conference table, standing out prominently.

However, when the other young people looked at him, their eyes were filled with admiration.

The elders’ looks were also appreciative.

Because he was the most outstanding genius among the younger generation of the Shen Family.

At the same time, he also had a special identity, the fourth son of Shen Kunpeng, the future heir of the Shen Family Patriarch.

Shen Kunpeng looked at his son, his face showing a pleased expression, saying, "Shen Han, you are currently advancing toward the mid-SS level, don’t think about sparring with people, focus on advancing instead. Also, our Shen Family can’t openly act against him, we must consider the constraints of the Hermit Realm and that madman Yaksha."

Shen Han smiled lightly, "Father, only through the grind can one grow stronger. I hope in the future, I can have the opportunity to duel with talents my age. Otherwise, with no rivals around me, it’s truly too lonely."

This arrogance is too evident.

However, upon hearing this, Shen Kunpeng was very pleased, smiling, "There will be opportunities, after all, the other three family heirs of the Hermit Realm are also geniuses. When the Four Door Martial Arts Gathering takes place in the future, it will be your time to shine. At that time, you must do your utmost to put the other three family geniuses under your feet."

Shen Han smiled confidently, "I won’t even need to exert all my strength to put them underfoot."

"Good, that’s my son, confident indeed!" Shen Kunpeng praised, reminding, "But this time, you mustn’t act against Song Yun."
