Chapter 516: 516 Tough Sister Lan! Extreme Path Leader Appears【2 More】

His voice was calm, the tone light, with not the slightest fluctuation.

It did not seem as if he came to kill someone, but rather to drink tea at a teahouse.

"Do you want my life?" The middle-aged man, after a moment of stunned silence, laughed furiously, "Who the hell are you, daring to run wild in the Sweeney Family’s territory!"

The Sweeney Family could not compare to superpowers like Konstantin and the Si Family, but its scale was moderate, firmly leading outside of the Global Center.

The only ones the middle-aged man dreaded and revered were the Five Great Families of Yunjing and the three great households of the Northern Lands.

But these families were like fixed sea needles within Shenzhou Land Continent and the Northern Lands, and it was impossible for them to come to the Global Center.

The silver moonlight fell, illuminating half of the girl’s face, tinting her eyebrows and eyes white.

The young man kneeling on the ground to report could not even see clearly what the girl looked like before he screamed in agony and directly fainted.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, freezing the middle-aged man’s angry expression instantly.

Blinded by rage earlier, he now realized that since the intruder had already arrived here, the guards outside must have been neatly dealt with.

"You—!" The middle-aged man suddenly looked up, his face horror-stricken, and he screeched, "Who are you, who are you?!"

A girl?

And so young?

When did the Global Center have such a powerful young woman?

It couldn’t possibly be the young mistress of the Si Family, could it?!

But the Si Family wouldn’t need to act personally to deal with him, a mere flick of their fingers could annihilate the entire Sweeney Family.

That was the vast chasm between other families in the Global Center and superpowers like theirs, akin to a Heavenly Moat.

Ye Wanlan took two steps forward, and the middle-aged man finally saw her face clearly.

His pupils sharply constricted, he blurted out in disbelief, "You are Lin Wenli’s, that..."

This face, he had seen it in intelligence reports, for it was far too perfect to overlook.

When reviewing the information, the middle-aged man had never taken Ye Wanlan seriously.

Because if Ye Wanlan had a talent in classical music, she would have been taken back by the Yunjing Lin Family, and if her academia were strong, she would have secured an interview at Shenzhou University.

Yet here she was, deemed a mere decoration by him, appearing here in the dead of night!

"He calls me sister, of course I will protect him." Ye Wanlan casually rolled up her sleeves, "If I can’t even protect my own younger siblings, I’d be too much of a failure as a sister."

"Crack!"

The middle-aged man’s throat was grasped by a slender hand; his eyes bulged, breathing became difficult, and his face slowly turned purple.

But the pressure was not enough to make him faint; instead, it made him painfully aware of what suffocation felt like.

"You... your actions are so cruel, you will eventually attract the attention of the Extreme Path!" The middle-aged man’s fingers trembled, his voice intermittent, "If you dare kill me, neither you nor your brother will escape!"

By now, he understood why the people he had sent out had not returned for a long time and why he had been unable to contact them.

They had all been dealt with!

"Extreme Path?" Ye Wanlan tilted her head and chuckled lightly, "Do you even know what ’Extreme Path’ truly means?"

She always suspected that the Extreme Path Organization was founded by someone from Shenzhou.

Because only the People of Shenzhou would clearly know the meaning of Extreme Path—

To reach the peak in a certain field.

And not just a superficial stay on the meaning of "extreme moral path."

The term ’Extreme Path’ originated from Taoism and is a technical term.

Therefore, Ye Wanlan was eighty percent sure that the current leader of Extreme Path, even if not skilled in Taoist Arts, must have extensively researched them.

"""Though the Jidao Leader seldom showed himself, so rare were his appearances that even many high-ranking members of the Extreme Path Organization had never seen him more than a few times.

"Although the correct meaning of the Extreme Path Organization is to achieve the pinnacle, today, you will only experience what ’extreme path’ means," Ye Wanlan released her grip.

"Ah—!!!" The middle-aged man couldn’t help but let out a scream of agony as pain flowed through his limbs and overwhelmed his senses.

Ye Wanlan showed no mercy to those who wished to take Lin Wenli’s life.

Her expression indifferent, she watched the constantly struggling middle-aged man as if she were a passerby outdoors.

"Please, have mercy, my lord! I was wrong, I know I was wrong!" The middle-aged man cried and began to kneel and beg for mercy, "It was all my fault, I was temporarily blinded by folly, all my fault!"

Seeing that Ye Wanlan was unmoved, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and fiercely slapped himself.

If he had known this would happen, he would never have sent people to kill Lin Wenli.

Ten Lin Wenlis weren’t worth more than his own life.

"You are begging for mercy not because you realize your mistake, but because you know your fist isn’t as hard as mine," Ye Wanlan’s gaze was icy cold, "But isn’t ’survival of the fittest’ the very principle you’ve always believed in?"

In this world where everything thrives in conflict and harmony, there are naturally the strong and the weak.

The strong possess more power and resources, but these should never become the blades with which the strong strike down the weak!

The middle-aged man’s thoughts were exposed, filling him with both fear and embarrassment.

Until now, he didn’t understand why the reality and the intelligence reports were so drastically different!

With this girl’s strength, even if she were placed in the Yunjing Lin Family... she would definitely be among the best of her generation.

Had the Yunjing Lin Family gone blind to not recognize her lineage?

"My lord, I will do anything you ask! I will serve you like an ox or a horse!" The middle-aged man cried and chuckled, his expression extremely ugly, "Please spare my life, I won’t dare again!"

"But since you mentioned the Extreme Path, why don’t you take a visit there?" Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow, "Which is heavier, the crime of sending someone to kill my brother, or my crime of self-defense?"

"No—no way!" The middle-aged man was finally completely panicked, "I can’t go to the Extreme Path. I won’t!"

The methods of the Extreme Path were extremely cruel, consistently adhering to the radical doctrine of responding to violence with violence, to murder with killing.

If he went to the Extreme Path, given his prior misdeeds, it might be a fate worse than death!

"Let’s go." Ye Wanlan said calmly, lifting the middle-aged man up.

Her toes touched lightly, moving soundlessly across the rooftop.

At two in the morning, at the gate of the Extreme Fifth Headquarters, a middle-aged man appeared who had passed out.

"Who is it?!"

The young man guarding the gate immediately became alert. He ran forward, and before he could take a careful look at the person lying on the ground, suddenly, a gust of wind swept up!

"Whoosh!"

A tall, towering figure appeared before the young man’s eyes, a man dressed entirely in black, wearing a mask.

Such attire...

The Jidao Leader!

The young man’s legs weakened, nearly collapsing to the ground. He shakily supported himself against the wall, struggling to keep from falling.

Just a substation, and the Jidao Leader suddenly appeared?

It was impossible for anyone to dare impersonate the Jidao Leader on Extreme Path’s territory; it had to be the real one.

The young man suddenly remembered an incident from a few months ago when the Fifteenth Lord was replaced, and his heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that someone in their Fifth Substation had done something outrageous to directly alarm the Leader?!

With this thought, the young man’s legs trembled even more violently, "My... my lord, you... you..."

Yan Tingfeng turned his head."""
