The Terrors of the King of the Underworld

After finishing a song, Gu Yan had already stepped off the stage.

Without comparison, there would be no harm, and when Lan Zizhen sang again, no one was willing to pay for it.

In the end, he was asked to leave by the hotel staff.

The banquet performance continued, and many people wanted to pay Gu Yan to sing a few more songs.

However, Gu Yan wasn't short of money, but he did make friends with several heads of families or young heirs.

This somewhat changed his previous reputation and public image.

Those with insight had already moved another chair next to Leng Ling'er.

After dealing with those people, Gu Yan sat down next to Leng Ling'er, looking exhausted.

Seeing Gu Yan's tired face, although Leng Ling'er felt a bit guilty for dragging him up to sing, she couldn't help but feel a little pleased when she recalled his singing: "Brother-in-law, you sing really well."

"In just a short while, you've won over so many people!"

Leng Ling'er's unreserved praise didn't make Gu Yan feel particularly happy.

He looked kindly at Leng Ling'er: "Little brat, you actually tricked me."

"Heh heh."

"Heh heh your head!"

Gu Yan sighed lightly, but then thought, it was actually a good thing.

At least it changed his impression in others' minds.

Maybe from a simp to a violent person and then to a talented rich second generation?

Gu Yan felt the eyes of his peers or mature women throwing flirtatious glances at him.

He suddenly realized that these so-called business owners and family heirs were actually just like ordinary people.

They would go crazy for things they liked, and he had heard that some rich heirs did irrational things for their favorite stars.

Hmm...

He glanced at the crowd, recognizing many of them.

They had many collaborations with the Gu Family, and he hadn't forgotten the Gu Family's annual meeting.

Don't forget, it would be the third vote to choose the heir of the Gu Family.

If he got a veto, then such a large family property would have to choose the next heir.

Of course, even if Gu Yan lost his heir status, it wouldn't matter.

After all, the current head of the family was Gu Tianming, who was strong and healthy, unless he died or voluntarily stepped down...

Suddenly, Gu Yan thought of something and suddenly understood why such a large family like the Gu Family would have a voting system.

In the original story, although not explicitly stated, various details showed that the Gu Family was actually a martial artist family.

Or rather, a branch left by a martial artist family in the secular world.

This plot point casually mentioned by the author was never resolved and the story ended.

That is to say, this vote was not just about choosing a surface-level group heir.

There must be other deeper meanings involved.

Yan Qingqing kept glancing towards Gu Yan, wanting to talk to him.

But Leng Ling'er blocked her way.

How annoying, she even had my phone!

Yan Qingqing looked displeased at Leng Ling'er, who was holding her phone.

Leng Ling'er said she didn't have her phone with her, so she borrowed Yan Qingqing's phone to record Gu Yan.

Ah! I've got a good idea.

Yan Qingqing didn't know what she thought of, coughed at Leng Ling'er: "Um, Ling'er, how about we add each other on social media?

"When you get back, I'll send you the video I recorded."

Leng Ling'er, hearing this, was momentarily stunned, oh right.

She returned the phone to Yan Qingqing and nodded happily: "Sure, I'll add you when I get back."

Since Gu Yan already knew about the phone, it didn't matter to say it in front of him.

Seeing her plan succeed, Yan Qingqing started chatting with Leng Ling'er, casually probing for information.

Gu Yan thought about it and didn't stop her, as Yan Qingqing was also a line that needed attention.

By the way, I wonder how the Night Organization's operation is going.

Just as he was thinking.

"Gu! Gu Yan!"

A panicked voice rang out beside Gu Yan.

In the dim light, Gu Yan looked over and saw Long Zaitian, terrified, approaching him.

"Long Zaitian?"

Gu Yan was a bit surprised, looking around, he didn't see the other's bodyguards, so he asked somewhat puzzledly: "What's up?"

Yan Qingqing and Leng Ling'er also looked over upon hearing the commotion.

————Huh, why is another small fry here, definitely another one here to flatter Brother-in-law.

————Hmm? Isn't that the adopted son of Yan Xing Group's Yan Huang? How does he know Gu Yan?

Long Zaitian's body was trembling, he grabbed Gu Yan: "Listen to me! A group of lunatics broke into my godfather's room!"

"I was just destroying Tian Fang's data, and I saw it on the monitor!"

"Gu Yan, you have to save me! You have to help me!"

Lunatics? Could it be Qingqiu's subordinates?

Gu Yan frowned, stood up, and said to Leng Ling'er: "Stay here and don't wander off."

Saying that, he pulled Long Zaitian towards the banquet hall exit: "Come with me for a moment."

Leng Ling'er was confused: "Hey! Brother-in-law!"

No, why did Gu Yan suddenly leave with this strange person??

Yan Qingqing was also puzzled, what was Long Zaitian talking about? What lunatics, what saving him?

At the same time.

In the King of Hell Palace.

It was already a scene of carnage.

Yan Huang's pupils constricted, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

A moment ago, he was still thinking about what to say when he went on stage.

But the next moment, the sound of flesh being torn filled his ears.

He didn't react, maybe because his mind was elsewhere, or maybe because of his age and injuries, his body couldn't keep up with his thoughts.

The smell of blood filled the place.

He seemed to recall the scene from back then, or rather...

The scene before him, or rather the people before him, overlapped infinitely with the figures of back then.

He swallowed in fear, the wounds on his body aching again, and he couldn't even muster the will to resist.

Yan Huang looked terrified at the people in his room, all dressed in the familiar black attire: "You... are from the Night?"

At this moment, Yan Huang seemed to have forgotten that if he resisted, he could still unleash the peak strength of a grandmaster.

"Long time no see, King of Hell Palace's leader."

And at that moment, a cold voice echoed in the room.

In an instant, everyone present showed respect and excitement.

They stood on both sides, creating a path in the middle as if for someone to pass through.

Yan Huang sat in his chair, his face filled with fear as he looked at the path.

This scene... how similar? Back then, that existence also appeared before them all in this way.

The next second.

A figure emerged from the shadows.

She wore a black cloak and a black veil hat, her long hair cascading like a waterfall, a slight chill surrounding her.

Leng Qingqiu glanced coldly at every corner of the room, her dark green eyes sharp and piercing.

After confirming there were no survivors, she looked at Yan Huang.

Her presence made Yan Huang feel immense pressure, the latter gripping the armrest tightly.

Leng Qingqiu's voice was icy, like frost piercing the heart: "Yan Huang, living so long, it's time to pay for what happened back then."

"What happened back then?!"

Yan Huang's pupils constricted, and when Leng Qingqiu removed her veil hat, when he saw her eyes.

He was shocked.

He lost control of his emotions, pointing at Leng Qingqiu in disbelief: "Leng Qingqiu!!"

"Night?! You used that dagger!!"

"You're crazy!!"

The moment the words fell.

Pfft!

Yan Huang's jaw was dislocated, his two arms pierced by two bone spikes and pinned to the armrest.

"As you can see, I crawled out of hell."

Leng Qingqiu walked elegantly over, looking down at him, and said: "Tell me, why did you massacre the Leng Family back then?"

Yan Huang was terrified, but unable to speak due to his dislocated jaw.

Leng Qingqiu sighed lightly, seemingly feeling helpless, she glanced at Mei Xue and another person: "Mei Xue, Liao Ya, go bring Long Zaitian here."

Long Zaitian possessed a special kind of true energy, which was extraordinarily vibrant and full of life.

It was only this life-infused true energy that could perform his abilities with the least exertion and ensure that Yan Huang's life, like a flickering candle, was preserved.

She didn't believe that Yan Huang's words under such circumstances were true; only by becoming her puppet could the truth be guaranteed to be complete.

When Yan Huang heard the true energy within Long Zaitian, his heart raced with panic, and his body began to struggle.

Meanwhile.

Gu Yan had already arrived with Long Zaitian at the corridor outside the banquet hall.

Gu Yan said to Long Zaitian, "Stay calm, tell me everything that happened."

Long Zaitian's eyes still showed fear; he took a deep breath and began to speak slowly, "Alright, here's what happened..."
