124 For the Sake of the Bigger Picture, Please Die (1)
In the bar, the atmosphere suddenly stiffened.
A few months ago, Anonymous had killed three Grandmasters in a row. The number of Grandmasters in the Qingxuan Army had been reduced by half, and their morale had plummeted.
For the past few months, the Flying Cloud Castle had been constantly attacking the city and forcing the Qingxuan Army to retreat. The situation was getting worse. The people in the capital were panicking and countless people were thinking about how to escape.
The news that the Liang family’s head had killed the enemy Grandmaster made cheers erupt in the bar
“Everyone gets a free glass of wine. Eat and drink to your heart’s content!” The manager’s face was flushed red.
The atmosphere became livelier, and many customers praised the manager’s generosity.
Jiang Ming was drinking alone, and his face showed a wry smile.
Although Jiang Ming was not afraid, he was still unhappy to hear about this surprising turn of events.
It did not matter! He would eventually destroy them all!
“I just want to live a peaceful and stable life, but you almost disturbed my peace. For the sake of the bigger picture, please die.”
Jiang Ming was drinking while sighing internally.
Thinking about how he was almost fifty years old, Jiang Ming quickly rubbed his face.
After the excitement had subsided in the restaurant, someone sighed, “The Liang family’s head is a little reckless. He’s the only Grandmaster in the Liang family now. Why would he dare fight with the enemy? Now that he’s seriously injured, Anonymous might come to his door.”
The surrounding people held their breaths. At the mention of Anonymous, everyone felt chills run down their spines.
The messenger took a few big gulps of tea and calmed down. Hearing this, he immediately sighed, “There’s a reason for this. When the young Grandmaster of the Liang family and Master Kongjian tried to kill Anonymous, the head of the Liang family was already confronting a Grandmaster of the Flying Cloud Castle on the battlefield! The Liang family had one sect and two Grandmasters. Naturally, there was no need to worry about any backup. Moreover, Grandmasters don’t make moves easily. However, no one expected that the young Grandmaster would be killed by Anonymous in one move! Even the Wu family’s head and Master Kongjian were killed. The situation has suddenly changed.
“When the news spread to the battlefield, the Liang family’s head wanted to retreat, but he could no longer do so. The Flying Cloud Castle kept pressing forward, and the Grandmasters kept provoking the Liang family’s head. It was only a few days ago that he was finally forced to use a forbidden technique to kill one of the two Grandmasters of the Flying Cloud Castle and injure the other. Only then did he manage to escape from that situation!”
He finished speaking, and the happy atmosphere in the restaurant seemed to have sobered.
Although the Flying Cloud Castle had lost a Grandmaster, it was hard to say if the Liang family’s head still had any strength left. After a few more battles, the Grandmasters of the Qingxuan Army would be exhausted, and the battle would be over.
“I can only hope that the Liang family’s head can survive this calamity.”
Jiang Ming smiled, paid his bill, and left the restaurant. He returned to his place of rest and sat quietly in the dark room with his eyes closed.
He was waiting for the night to fall!
The Nameless was operating at full capacity. Everything that needed to be done had been done. Now, all that was left was a fuse.
The time had come, there was no need to wait any longer. It was time for the fuse to be lit!

Late at night, the Liang family’s residence was still brimming with a festive atmosphere. More than ten tables were set up in the front courtyard, and many officials and nobles from the capital were invited to celebrate the grand victory.
“To Xu Yihao, you’ve reached the peak of first-class at such a young age! You’ll definitely have the chance to reach the Grandmaster realm in the future!”
A young disciple of the Liang family was toasting to another young man.
Xu Yihao’s expression was calm as he smiled and sipped the wine in his glass. A trace of embarrassment flashed across the eyes of the Liang family’s disciple, but his face was still full of enthusiasm as he drank the entire glass in one gulp.
The entire scene looked extremely strange. It was as if the one who killed the Grandmaster was not the head of the Liang family, but the head of the Xu family.
In one of the attics, two middle-aged members of the Liang family stared at the banquet below with gloomy eyes.
“Most of the people who came are young. What is the meaning of this? Do they really think that the Liang family is finished? Or are they afraid that Anonymous will come and kill them all?”
Liang Fenghua of the Liang family sighed, “Forget it. It’s best that Master Xu is here. Out of the six Grandmaster families, only the Xu family and the Liang family are left to help each other. If we can survive this disaster, when Master recovers, the Liang family will rise again. It won’t be too late to teach these families a lesson then.”
