of the headmaster of the Rakshasa Hall, you have quite the guts!" Huo Mei said after putting Ruirui down. "Little one, didn't I scare you Go find your mother now!"As for her, letting go of Qin Yuxin a..."Damn it! Who are you" Ma Hongchang frowned.

"Looking at Ling Hao and the others, he shouted angrily. 'To dare come to the Ma family and run wild, you must be tired of living!'"

"You are Ma Hongchang Not bad, after escaping for so many years, you still dare to return to Dongzhou. Quite bold!" The judge's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Hmm!" Upon hearing the Judge's words, Ma Hongchang's pupils shrank slightly: "Who are you"

"Let's talk about this later!" Ling Hao spoke indifferently, his eyes briefly scanning Yan He before turning to Ma Hongquan.

"I heard that your Ma family can do whatever they want in Dongzhou. Even if you kill someone, no one can touch you"

"Do you have an opinion" Ma Hongquan frowned. "You really think of yourself as someone important"

"If I said I had the power to decide your son's life or death, would you believe me" Ling Hao asked coldly.

"Humph!" Ma Hongquan coldly snorted. "Truly, ignorance breeds courage. I'd like to see how you decide his life or death!"

"You'll see it immediately!" Ling Hao smiled faintly, then turned to the judge and his tone grew serious: "Read out Ma He Lin's major charges!"

"Received!" The judge nodded vigorously.

At eighteen years old, he bullied two female classmates alongside others, resulting in one of the girls taking her own life and the other suffering from mental illness.

"At age twenty, he drove under the influence of alcohol, causing a serious traffic accident that resulted in three deaths and one injury. One of the deceased was also a pregnant woman."

At twenty-two years old, because of jealousy and arguments, he beat someone up and left them in a vegetative state.

“...”

The Judge, in one breath, recited seven or eight serious crimes committed by Ma Helin.

"Hmm" After hearing the judge's words, Ma Hongquan frowned.

He didn't expect the judge to know about these things so clearly. He had a vague sense of foreboding, and it seemed like the other party was prepared!

"Master Ma, I wonder if you have anything else to add" Ling Hao then looked at Ma Hongquan and said lightly.

"Humph!" Ma Hongquan took a deep breath and let out another cold snort: "So what even if you find out, the police department can't do anything about it. Who do you think you are!"

"So, you acknowledge his guilt" Ling Hao asked again, his voice still calm.

"Your son committed these crimes, each one deserving at least a lifetime in prison. Yet, here he is, acting like nothing happened. The Ma family certainly has some influence!"

"Kid, I don't have time to waste words with you here. If you have the guts, come and hit my son!" Ma Hongquan responded angrily.

"Alright!" Ling Hao said, then turned to the judge: "According to law, how should we proceed"

"Slash!" The Judge's voice boomed.

Then, "Let's just kill him!" Ling Hao responded coldly.

"As you command!" A young man from the Shadow Gate stepped forward two paces, his wrist flipping as a flash of blade appeared.

"No!" Mahalin cried out, his soul nearly departing him.

"You dare!" Ma Hongchang roared, his figure flashing out rapidly.

Pffft!

Just as he was halfway to his target, a flash of blade light sliced across Ma He Lin's neck.

The next moment, a blood line appeared on Mahalin's throat, and a bloody arrow shot out.

Glug glug!

Ma Haolin opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word. His legs went limp and he lost consciousness. His eyes bulged like ping pong balls.

Until his very last breath, he couldn't believe that this was how it ended!

If only I had known this beforehand, I wouldn't have gone to provoke the other party this morning. In just a few hours, I've bid farewell to this colorful world forever!

"Husband..."

Ma He Lin's wife cried out in surprise and fainted.

"Lin'er!!!"

Ma Haoquan's two brothers cried out in grief at the same time.

Those on the side, such as Yan He, were also shocked. They never expected the other party to actually dare to kill Ma Helin in front of them.

"Damn you, I'm going to kill you, I swear I will!" The next moment, Ma Hongquan glared menacingly: "Bring people, bring people quickly, kill them for me!"

Knock! Knock! Knock!

A sudden flurry of footsteps echoed, and two or three hundred men wielding blades and clubs charged aggressively towards Ling Hao and his companions. The few leading the charge exuded a palpable aura, clearly indicating they were martial artists.

"Dare to kill the young master, you go to die!" As he rushed to the front of the three, the leading man roared, his saber slashing down towards Ling Hao at lightning speed.

"You're asking for death!" Ten members of the Yingmen sect snarled, ten shadowy figures darting toward the opposing crowd.

At the same time, his wrist kept turning, and the cold moon curved blade in his hand slashed out a series of sharp blades.

"Ah..."

The next moment, countless hysterical screams erupted from the square, and figures collapsed one after another.

Within five minutes, two or three hundred men collapsed all at once, sprawled on the ground howling in pain.

Yikes!

Ma Hongquan's two brothers and Yan He, seeing this scene, gasped deeply, their faces flashing with astonishment.

Are you people from the Shadow Gate

Yan He carefully examined the curved swords in the hands of the ten Shadow Sect disciples, his brow furrowed.

"What!"

Hearing this, the Ma brothers' bodies trembled and their legs nearly buckled.

The surge of fury in his heart was instantly extinguished by the two words "Shadow Gate".

As the saying goes, a person's reputation precedes them, and while they had never crossed paths with the Shadow Gate before, they were naturally well aware of its fame.

Now they finally knew why the other party could have so many charges against Ma Hailing. With Shadow Gate's resources, it was too easy to find this information.

At the same time, thinking of everything Ma Jia had done over the years, a glimmer of despair rose in both their hearts.

Being targeted by the Shadow Gate, even if the Ma family has immense influence in Dongzhou, it's probably useless!

Those people they usually rely on, if they knew it was the Shadow Gate who were doing this, they probably wouldn't even have time to hide, let alone stand up for their Ma family!

"Alright, now let's settle the score!" Ling Hao then looked at Ma Hongchang and spoke.

Three years ago, you wiped out an entire family of five. You shouldn't deny it, should you

"You...what do you want" Ma Hongchang took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Although the Shadow Gate made him wary, it wasn't to the point where he surrendered without a fight. After all, he was still a Warmaster-level martial artist!

Moreover, I have officially joined the Chi Yin Sect, and its grand elder is right here. If a conflict were to arise, it's uncertain who would come out on top!

"What do you say" Ling Hao's eyes narrowed slightly. "Do you surrender yourself or would you like my Yingmen people to help you"

"Hmph!" Ma Hongchang took another deep breath: "I admit that Yingmen is strong, but do you really think I, Ma Hongchang, am afraid of you"

"Yo! Hearing you say that, you still have some backing" Ling Hao smiled faintly. "Your reliance should be these four people around you, right"

“This brother, I am Yan He, the Grand Elder of the Chi Yin Sect. Ma Er Ye has formally joined my sect. I wonder if you could let him go out of respect for the Chi Yin Sect. Yan would be most grateful!”

Yan He also took a deep breath and looked at Ling Hao, opening his mouth to speak.

Although he also feared the reputation of the Shadow Gate, after all, he was the Great Elder of the Dark Yin Sect.

If just the words "Shadow Gate" were enough to make you retreat without a fight, it would be too embarrassing to say.

After all, he is already at the level of a half-step warrior, and believes that even against members of the Shadow Gate, he has a chance to fight!

"Crimson Yin Sect" Ling Hao turned to the judge, "Have you heard of it"zhou, hoping to seek understanding from that influential figure.Pan Yi-jie first went to the restaurant and learned that the employee who had a conflict with Pan Xiao-guang that night was from Shengya...
