Chapter 570: Chapter 566 Return

On the third day after waking up, under the arrangements of the Tang Sect, Fang Xiaocao completed the discharge procedures and boarded the Tang Sect’s private jet, setting off on her journey back to Tang City.

Fang Xiaocao’s return to Tang City was destined to stir up another storm of blood and turmoil.

With Taotie achieving the status of a super master and the intelligence provided by the Ye Family, the Pawnshop and Blacklist—two forces that had dominated the Jianghu for over a century—were inevitably doomed, entering their countdown to destruction.

"Pawnshop, Blacklist, just wait for death!"

As she stepped off the plane, Fang Xiaocao gazed up at the ominously overcast sky, murmuring to herself.

The sky seemed pregnant with an autumn rain.

Much like the tempest brewing deep within Fang Xiaocao’s heart, eager to erupt.

From the moment Fang Xiaocao awoke to stepping out of the airport.

In just three short days, Tang City had already been engulfed in chaos and slaughter under Fang Xiaocao’s orders, as Thousand Faces promptly acted on her command.

That very evening, Phoenix Nest mobilized completely.

They launched a sweeping purge across Tang City’s Jianghu forces, big and small.

The thinking behind Thousand Faces was simple...

Kill indiscriminately; leave no one behind.

Whether you’re part of the Blacklist or the Pawnshop, as long as you exist in Tang City, I’ll reasonably suspect you. Eliminate first, talk later.

After all, Tang City would eventually belong to Princess Your Highness.

You might as well start packing now; it’ll save you more trouble later.

Under Thousand Faces’ indiscriminate purge, Tang City’s factions—alongside the Blacklist and Pawnshop—were wiped out entirely.

Even Tang City’s public order dramatically improved overnight.

It became the safest city around.

During the purge, Thousand Faces instructed Vermilion Bird to select and recruit a group of people.

They became the fresh blood that replenished Phoenix Nest and Swan Goose.

Thousand Faces allocated all the seized funds to Phoenix Nest, whereas the real estate assets were absorbed under Swan Goose’s name.

This round of cleansing brought Fang Xiaocao nearly five billion in profits.

Not only did this cover Fang Xiaocao’s twenty billion expenditure from her Shu trip to acquire Shu Han Romance, but it also left her with a tidy profit.

After receiving the report from Thousand Faces, Fang Xiaocao felt content. The gloom in her heart dissipated somewhat.

"Welcome, Princess Your Highness!"

Fang Xiaocao stepped outside the airport.

Waiting early outside the airport, Vermilion Bird led over a hundred Swan Goose members dressed sharply in tailored suits, shouting in unison to welcome Fang Xiaocao.

Such a showy welcome drew the intrigued gazes of passing airport travelers.

It instantly plastered an awkward expression on Fang Xiaocao’s face.

She really hadn’t expected Vermilion Bird to pull this stunt.

If she had known earlier, she would’ve slipped away in advance.

She wouldn’t have let Vermilion Bird show off or stuck around to be watched like a monkey at a zoo.

"Let’s go!"

Fang Xiaocao shot Vermilion Bird a sharp glance.

With hurried steps, she boarded the car.

"Screwed it up, didn’t you?"

Taotie patted Vermilion Bird’s shoulder, every ounce of schadenfreude written clearly on his face.

"Who knew Princess Your Highness didn’t like this style? If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have done it."

Vermilion Bird shrugged helplessly.

"Serves you right for trying to show off. Now look at you—you kissed butt and hit the hoof."

"Wait until we’re back; then you’ll really have something coming to you."

Taotie mocked Vermilion Bird openly, sparing no mercy.

"Disperse and head home."

Ignoring Taotie’s ridicule, Vermilion Bird gave the order in frustration to the hundred Swan Goose members.

"Yes!"

The Swan Goose members replied loudly in unison.

Their response once again drew murmurs from the surrounding crowd.

Vermilion Bird’s face turned even darker.

"Get in the car!"

With exasperation, Vermilion Bird walked toward his vehicle.

A Barbie-pink Maserati.

An hour later...

With a grand convoy of luxury cars, they arrived at the Mountain Foot Villa. Fang Xiaocao stepped out of the car and scrutinized the villa.

Though over ten days had passed.

During that time, Thousand Faces and Wan Xiaozhou had repeatedly sent people to clean and make repairs, practically stopping just short of renovating.

Fang Xiaocao could still discern traces of the battle.

The damage and impact inflicted when the Tomb Raider Sect rebelled were evidently severe enough to leave undeniable scars.

"Tell them to go home and vanish from my sight."

Fang Xiaocao glanced at the sharply dressed men surrounding her and waved dismissively, disdaining them.

Hearing this, Vermilion Bird broke into an instant sweat.

He urgently signaled for the suit-clad men to scram.

The suited men, as if granted amnesty, scattered immediately.

They were all Swan Goose henchmen, and being around Fang Xiaocao, the Princess Your Highness, made them feel severely oppressed.

It reminded them of their elementary school days when facing their strict homeroom teacher, quivering like frightened kids.

Fang Xiaocao walked into the Mountain Foot Villa.

"Princess Your Highness!"

Jiang Xinyan greeted her.

Jiang Xinyan’s face bore an expression of guilt.

Fang Xiaocao gave Jiang Xinyan a glance.

She nodded, saying, "You made mistakes, but not everything was your fault. Don’t pressure yourself too much."

Out of consideration for Taotie, Fang Xiaocao offered Jiang Xinyan a token consolation.

If Jiang Xinyan weren’t Taotie’s wife, she would already have been a corpse.

Clatter clatter—

Walking into the Mountain Foot Villa, Fang Xiaocao had just sat on the couch when the sound of wheels rolling on the floor echoed.

Fang Xiaocao glanced in the direction of the sound, spotting Thousand Faces maneuvering a wheelchair from behind.

"Princess Your Highness!"

Thousand Faces greeted Fang Xiaocao.

Fang Xiaocao nodded. "Got a plan?"

Thousand Faces took out a map and handed it to Fang Xiaocao, while Jiang Xinyan immediately stepped forward to receive it.

She then passed the map to Fang Xiaocao.

Fang Xiaocao accepted the map and scanned it briefly.

"Is this the Pawnshop Headquarters?"

Fang Xiaocao asked.

"Yes, it’s from the Ye Family."

"I’ve already had it verified; the address is confirmed as genuine. That location is indeed the Pawnshop headquarters."

Thousand Faces answered calmly.

"Perfect!"

"Get ready; this afternoon we’re heading out."

"We’ll launch a joint assault on the Pawnshop headquarters and its nearby branches."

"Take the Pawnshop out entirely from Beijing suburbs, root and all. For the remaining branches, we won’t need to act—they’ll be dealt with by someone else."

Fang Xiaocao first affirmed Thousand Faces’ efforts before outlining her plan.

Thousand Faces paused for a moment of contemplation before nodding in agreement.

"The plan is solid; it’s viable."

"Pawnshop headquarters will likely have super masters. How many people is Princess Your Highness planning to take along?"

Thousand Faces asked.

"We don’t need too many people."

"I’ll take Taotie, Tom, Mantis, and Unhappy—that’s enough."

"We don’t have many personnel, so the others should focus on uprooting the nearby branches in the Beijing suburbs."

Fang Xiaocao had already crafted her plan in her mind.

Hearing Fang Xiaocao’s response, Thousand Faces frowned slightly and spoke up: "Won’t that be too few?"

"Pawnshop headquarters likely has a large number of people."

"And they’re probably highly skilled."

"Even a tiger struggles against a pack of wolves..."

Fang Xiaocao waved her hand, cutting Thousand Faces off before he could finish: "Not necessary; the few of us are enough. No matter how many small fry there are, they’re still no match for a Great White Shark. With Taotie present, their super master is not a concern. And with Tom and Unhappy around, even their top-level masters pose little threat."

Fang Xiaocao had no desire to bring too many people.

They would just be a burden. She preferred relying on the team she was most familiar with.
