He didn't know Song Tao's cultivation level, but a friend from the Ghost God Sect had boasted about it before.
The Ghost God Sect's senior disciple, whose cultivation was second only to the sect leader and elders!
Yet, now, this Song Tao was so easily killed by someone?
Could it be that this Qiu Hanying was the true expert?
"Heh heh, Master Bai, right? You should leave. Our Ru Shuang Group cannot tolerate a traitor like you."
Hearing Bai Yunlong's words, Qiu Hanying was also annoyed.
Although Bai Yunlong was invited by her uncle, his defection at a critical moment was truly infuriating!
"President Qiu, I'm sorry, it was all my misunderstanding. I was blinded by greed. Can you give me another chance?"
"I, Bai Yunlong, swear to the heavens, I will willingly be your foot soldier from now on, facing mountains of blades and seas of fire without hesitation!"
Hearing Qiu Hanying's refusal, Bai Yunlong immediately knelt on one knee and began to kowtow frantically.
He knew that for Qiu Hanying to be able to kill the Ghost God Sect's senior disciple so easily, her cultivation must have reached an unimaginable level.
But what about himself? After so many years of martial arts training, his body had already reached its limit. If he couldn't find a way to break through, his family would likely be ruined!
If it weren't for his family, if it weren't for his descendants, he, a dignified martial artist, would never have stooped to such treachery as defecting at a critical moment!
"That's enough, Uncle. I'll be going now. You can inform Director Meng. They are more familiar with handling such matters."
Qiu Hanying ignored Bai Yunlong, who was frantically kowtowing on the ground, and turned to leave.
Honestly, when Bai Yunlong offered to be her foot soldier, she had indeed been tempted.
But she knew that it wasn't her who killed Song Tao, but Lin Chen's protective amulet!
After exiting the company building, Qiu Hanying immediately saw Lin Chen standing at the main entrance.
"Lin Chen? Why are you here?"
Upon seeing Lin Chen, Qiu Hanying's eyes lit up, as if a little wife who had just escaped danger had seen her beloved husband.
"I sensed the protective amulet being activated, so I came to check."
Lin Chen frowned slightly and explained to Qiu Hanying.
"So, you're worried about me?"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Qiu Hanying's face blushed.
She knew that Lin Chen must not have slept much last night dealing with that matter. It was already past midnight, and he had traveled so far out of concern for her, which truly touched her.
"Alright, go back if there's nothing else. Mother has been mentioning it constantly these past two days, saying why haven't you visited our house?"
As he spoke, Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh deeply, feeling helpless.
Since Qiu Hanying hadn't visited his house for the past two days, his mother kept nagging him when he returned, asking if he had offended Qiu Hanying, which annoyed him.
Although he knew that with his protective amulet, Qiu Hanying would be fine, he still had to come out and check to prevent his mother from nagging.
"I understand."
Hearing Lin Chen's words, although Qiu Hanying didn't say much, she still felt a warmth in her heart.
No matter what, Lin Chen's mother now recognized her. How could Shangguan Ling'er compete with her in the future?
At the same time, on the outskirts of Hangzhou City, in the headquarters of the Ghost God Sect.
"Bad news, Third Elder! Senior Disciple Brother's soul jade tablet has also shattered!"
The disciple responsible for guarding the soul jade tablets rushed into the Third Elder's room in extreme panic.
"What? Song Tao's soul jade tablet shattered? How is this possible?"
Hearing the disciple's words, the Third Elder was greatly alarmed.
Good heavens, Song Tao had a cultivation of the ninth level of Qi Refining! How could he have died just like that?
It was known that Song Tao had excellent cultivation talent and could become a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator within decades!
His death now was an immense loss to their Ghost God Sect.
"No, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator must have made a move!"
Immediately, the Third Elder made a decision.
Given Song Tao's cultivation level, he could not have been killed unless a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator personally intervened!
"But Third Elder, Hangzhou is our Ghost God Sect's territory. Besides the Sect Leader and you three elders, how could there be any other Foundation Establishment stage mighty figures?"
The disciple also asked curiously, addressing the Third Elder.
The spiritual energy in the world was now so thin that it was incredibly difficult for ordinary people to cultivate.
The reason why the three elders and the senior disciple had such high cultivation was said to be due to a cultivation breakthrough decades ago. But now, it was not so easy to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage!
"Could it be that he has emerged?"
Suddenly, the Third Elder seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly turned to one of terror.
If it were truly that person who made a move, let alone a mere Song Tao, even killing himself would be as easy as turning his hand over!
"Third Elder, who is it?"
Hearing the Third Elder's words, the disciple became even more curious.
Could it be that there was indeed a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator hidden in Hangzhou that they didn't know about?
"No one. You can go down and rest."
After pondering for a long time, the Third Elder sighed, but his heart was completely unsettled.
"Third Elder, what should we do? Should we continue investigating Ru Shuang Group?"
The disciple swallowed and asked the Third Elder.
Now that even Song Tao was dead, if they, ordinary disciples, went to Ru Shuang Group, wouldn't they be seeking death?
"Not yet. Summon all disciples currently in Hangzhou back. Halt all actions of the Ghost God Sect in Hangzhou."
"All disciples shall return to the sect and enter seclusion. We will make further plans after the Sect Leader emerges from seclusion."
Immediately, the Third Elder made up his mind and commanded the disciple.
For the Third Elder at this moment, if it were truly that person who emerged, then even all the disciples of the Ghost God Sect would only be courting death!
Meanwhile, in the Jiayuan No. 1 Villa, Lin Chen had no idea that because of his protective amulet, the Ghost God Sect had completely retreated.
What Qiu Hanying didn't expect was that when she arrived at the company the next morning, she found someone kneeling at the company entrance. It was none other than Bai Yunlong!
However, Bai Yunlong was now surrounded by many Ru Shuang Group employees, all pointing and gossiping about him, creating quite a spectacle.
"Master Bai? What are you doing kneeling here so early in the morning?"
Seeing this scene, Qiu Hanying could only walk forward and ask with a sense of helplessness.
