Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law

Everyone in the Tianyin Sect, including the remaining two elders, couldn't understand why the Sect Leader was making such a fuss.

Even if a renowned first or second-tier sect were visiting, the Sect Leader wouldn't be this excited, right?

Soon, they reached the foot of the mountain and witnessed an even more astonishing scene!

They saw the elderly Tianyin Sect Leader hastily approaching a monk from Myanmar, his old face smiling like a chrysanthemum, enthusiastically shouting, "Senior Brother Du, it really is you! It's so good to see you again! Why have you humbled yourself to visit me here? I should have gone to visit you when I had the time!"

Senior Brother Du?!!

They never knew the Sect Leader had an elder brother?

Moreover, this elder brother looked like an ascetic monk. What is this all about?

"Wang Mian, we meet again. You still call me senior brother, which means you haven't forgotten our past friendship. Coming to find you was indeed the right decision."

Du Sengming, facing his little junior brother whom he had known for decades, also rarely showed a slight smile.

"Senior Brother Du, look at you, what you're saying! No matter where I, Wang Mian, go, or what status I reach, I would never dare to forget the guidance and support of Master Hemeng back in the day. It's been decades since we've seen each other, hasn't it? Please come up the mountain with me, and let's catch up."

Wang Mian hurriedly invited Du Sengming up the mountain.

His respect for Du Sengming was not only because Du Sengming had indeed helped him early on, just like Master Hemeng, the famous Sword Dao master from Myanmar, but also because Du Sengming's martial arts talent and strength far surpassed his own, being a bona fide grandmaster!

Currently, he had just barely broken through to the Middle Stage Maestro level; the two were simply incomparable!

Respectfully guiding Du Sengming up the mountain, Wang Mian directly brought him to the Sect Leader's great hall, invited him to the seat of honor, and personally served him tea.

"Senior Brother Du, how has Master Hemeng been lately?" Sitting down, Wang Mian first asked.

"I haven't seen my master for years either, but he is now a guest of the king and has a revered status in Myanmar, enjoying immense prestige. Naturally, he's not someone I need to worry about!" Du Sengming said proudly.

"Haha, indeed! Master Hemeng's swordsmanship is extraordinary; even in our country, he is a top-notch swordsmanship expert and deserves such honors!"

Wang Mian praised him greatly and, while pouring tea for Du Sengming, warmly invited him, "Senior Brother Du, it's been many years since we've seen each other. Since you're in China, you must stay longer so I can properly host you."

Du Sengming remained impassive, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Wang Mian felt somewhat awkward, then noticed his two junior brothers still standing behind him, hurriedly introducing them, "Senior Brother Du, these are my two junior brothers, Hua Zhi and Ge Hui!"

Hearing this, the two quickly stepped forward and said to Du Sengming, "Greetings, Senior Brother Du!"

Since this monk from Myanmar was receiving the Sect Leader's respect, he naturally deserved theirs as well.

Du Sengming slowly sipped his tea and said to Wang Mian, "Wang Mian, your sect seems a bit barren. Just two elders? What kind of state is this?"

Wang Mian was momentarily stunned, even more embarrassed!

Du Sengming really knew how to hit where it hurt, poking at his sore spot.

The Tianyin Sect originally had a plethora of talents; among his generation, there were six. However, now half of them were dead in Binhai, which made the sect seem short of manpower.

"Senior Brother Du, you're right to criticize, but it's a long story. Let me slowly explain..." Wang Mian said bitterly, ready to recount the old events.

However, before he could start reminiscing, Du Sengming abruptly raised a hand and calmly said, "There's no need to tell me about your sect's issues. I came to China not only to see you but also to have you lead the way to Binhai to kill someone!"

"Binhai???"

Upon hearing this, Wang Mian exchanged incredulous glances with Hua Zhi and Ge Hui!

Their enemy was in Binhai—the one who slaughtered their fellow disciples. Even if Du Sengming hadn't mentioned it, Wang Mian had planned to go to Binhai himself. But why did Du Sengming also insist on going now?

"Senior Brother Du, who is the person you want to kill?" Wang Mian suddenly had a premonition that the person who would warrant Du Sengming's exceptional visit might be the same enemy as his!

"Jiang Feng of Binhai, a young man whose surface identity is that of a security guard, yet he killed my employer's two sons, as well as several of my friends!" Du Sengming said plainly.

Jiang Feng!!!

It really was Jiang Feng!!!

Upon hearing this, Wang Mian was delighted; what a coincidence!

"Senior Brother Du, to be honest, Jiang Feng is also my enemy!" Wang Mian said with a sinister smile, "Several of my junior brothers and some outstanding disciples in my sect died at his hands. Even if you hadn't suggested it, I would have asked you to join me in going to Binhai to tear him to pieces!"

"Oh?" Du Sengming was also taken aback upon hearing this. Was this a unity of enemies?

"In that case, I did come to the right place?"

"Exactly!" Wang Mian grinned maliciously, thinking that with Du Sengming targeting Jiang Feng, his death was even closer!

Feeling extremely elated, he was about to say more to Du Sengming when suddenly another disciple entered from outside the great hall to report: "Reporting! Sect Leader, two elders, another guest has arrived at the foot of the mountain, claiming to be looking for Elder Hua—a long-lost acquaintance of Elder Hua's!"

"Looking for me?" Hua Zhi was full of confusion, wondering who would come looking for him out of the blue?

"Who is this acquaintance of mine?"

"He says he's a distant nephew of yours, with the surname Fang and the name Zhao, claiming to be from the Jiangdong Bin River."

"It's Xiao Zhao!" Hua Zhi suddenly realized.

Although he served as an elder in the Tianyin Sect, he still had some familial ties in the mundane world, and this Fang Zhao indeed was his distant nephew.

"Since they're all old acquaintances, invite him to come up as well. Today our Tianyin Sect is fortunate to welcome two old acquaintances—truly a double blessing!"

Wang Mian, in rare good spirits, directly ordered the disciple to bring Fang Zhao up from the mountain.

Soon, Fang Zhao was brought up the mountain and into the Sect Leader's great hall.

"Uncle!" As soon as Fang Zhao entered, he immediately approached Hua Zhi and greeted him with a smile.

"How dare you! Have you not first greeted my two senior brothers!" Hua Zhi hurriedly scolded with a stern face, then pointed to Wang Mian and Du Sengming behind him: "This is my Sect Leader Senior Brother, and this is Senior Brother Du!"

"Uh, greetings to the two uncles!" Fang Zhao, not familiar with the rules of martial arts practitioners, had to greet the two upon hearing Hua Zhi's words.

"No need!" Wang Mian waved his hand and asked, looking at Fang Zhao, "Your name is Fang Zhao, right? Why have you come to the Tianyin Sect in the middle of the night to find your uncle?"

"Replying to Sect Leader Uncle Wang, I know my uncle is cultivating in the Tianyin Sect and is a person of high skill. I have come to ask him to come out of seclusion to help me deal with a person." Fang Zhao quickly explained.

"Who is this person?" Wang Mian frowned, his expression growing displeased. On the eve of their venture to Binhai, this person came to request Hua Zhi to handle other matters, and he naturally felt dissatisfied.

But then, Fang Zhao uttered something astonishing: "That person is named Jiang Feng! His identity is that of a low-level security guard in Binhai, yet he destroyed my employer's kennel and crippled my employer's legitimate son, creating a deep, irreconcilable hatred! I come at my employer's command to ask my uncle to go to Binhai to kill Jiang Feng!!"
