That night, the incident involving the exploration of the ruins clearly wasn't something many people would learn about.
But the other incident was different.

That incident was the battle that had simultaneously broken out in the Xu Family's territory.
It was a battle between the elites of Longyao City's major families and the main force of the Underground Professionals of "Sin."
While Su Ming and the others were invading the ruins and fighting fiercely against "Sin's" personnel stationed there, the main force of the Underground Professionals led by "Sin's" Vice-Leader attacked the Xu Family shortly afterward, just as everyone had expected.
Their target was Xu Qianqian—or rather, the inexplicable means she possessed that could interfere with the ritual.

Unfortunately, the major families had long since prepared for the attack. Taking advantage of the Xu Family's terrain, they launched an ambush the instant "Sin's" main force entered the family territory.
It was an ambush even more terrifying than the slaughterhouse Su Ming and the others had encountered in the ruins.

But the situation at the Xu Family's territory was different.
They had known long ago that "Sin's" main force would attack, and their opponent was an enemy powerful enough to easily annihilate the
