The harmonious family of Zhang Mansion

Yin Zhiping was the strongest in the entire Martial Arts Association, yet even he had been defeated and severely injured. That alone showed just how formidable Zhang Yang was.

Zhao Lei was deeply troubled.

At that moment, the Martial Arts Association's courtyard was packed with experts from its branches across the country.

"Any news of Master's whereabouts?"

Zhao Lei pinned his hopes on his master instead.
