CHAPTER 1584: CHAPTER 347: NIGHT RAID ON THE BROKEN SOUL GATE (PART 2)

The Qinglong Hall Master stared intently at An Yiqing, his heart burning with anger.

"So, Miss An, you really intend to go against the Broken Soul Gate? You must know, the Broken Soul Gate is the number one faction in Qingning City!"

An Yiqing sneered, "Broken Soul Gate? Even the Muyun Society doesn’t concern me. What weight does the Broken Soul Gate carry? Qinglong Hall Master, do you know why I came here today, aside from Xia Hao?"

The Qinglong Hall Master’s eyes narrowed slightly. Seeing An Yiqing’s enigmatic smile, a bad thought suddenly arose in his heart.

As the Hall Master remained silent, An Yiqing took the initiative to continue the conversation.

"I came today for two reasons: first, to take Xia Hao back, and the second reason..." An Yiqing smiled faintly, her right hand touching her waist, and in the blink of an eye, a gleaming short sword appeared.

Her lips curled into a seductive arc, the sword’s cold shadow drawing a graceful arc in her hand, her slender body vanished like a bolt of lightning from the spot.

"The second reason — to cleanse the Broken Soul Gate with blood!"

With those words, the sword rose, and before the Broken Soul Gate members could react, a crimson bloom burst in the air. A scream sounded, and the chest of a Broken Soul Gate member hidden behind an iron box splattered with blood, lifeless.

Such speed!

The Qinglong Hall Master, just managing to react, frowned deeply, waving his hand as dozens of Broken Soul Gate members surrounded him and Xia Hao.

"An Yiqing! Aren’t you afraid I’ll harm Xia Hao?"

Just as the Qinglong Hall Master finished speaking, a gentle voice sounded behind him —

"Oh? Haozi, he says he’ll harm you, are you afraid?"

The Qinglong Hall Master was shocked, quickly turning towards Xia Hao. He saw that Xia Hao, who had been tightly bound to a pillar moments ago, was now free of his ropes, standing alertly behind An Yiqing.

"You, when did you get here? Weren’t you just, weren’t you just..." Weren’t you on the other side? The Qinglong Hall Master’s mouth hung open, looking at An Yiqing in disbelief, as if seeing a ghost.

An Yiqing chuckled softly, holding Xia Hao with her left hand and gripping the sword with her right, looking at the Qinglong Hall Master as if watching a joke.

"Since I dared to come alone, I must be fully prepared. Hall Master, did your Family Head not even manage to find out my identity?"

The expression on the Qinglong Hall Master’s face froze, clearly indicating An Yiqing had struck a nerve. Earlier that morning, Fang Zhigang had stormed back to the headquarters from the bar of Xuanwu Hall, starting to investigate An Yiqing’s identity. Their search revealed she’d been an orphan, attended the same high school as Xia Hao, then went on to study at Xuandu City University, all seemingly normal without information about the Little God Doctor, Daughter of the An Family, or any such complications.

Naturally, this was due to An Yiqing having altered her records. As her business empire grew, those illustrious identities outside sometimes became burdens rather than assets. Hence, An Yiqing had Gu Yelin modify her records to make her appear just like any ordinary citizen, merely holding some significant assets.

It was because of this that after viewing her records, Fang Zhigang was determined to put her in her place. Ironically, several Hall Masters of the Broken Soul Gate had heard of An Yiqing’s exploits, but they only remembered the legendary figure’s surname was An, not recalling her full name.

And thus began the tragedy of the Broken Soul Gate.

"Tch, daring to challenge me without knowing my identity, I can’t tell if Fang Zhigang is truly foolish or just pretending. Hall Master, today I’ll spare your life. Go back and tell Fang Zhigang that tonight, I, An Yiqing of the Xuanqing Sect, will visit personally!"

With that, An Yiqing pulled Xia Hao along, and in a flash, vanished from the gaze of the Broken Soul Gate members.

Everyone widened their eyes, looking in the direction where An Yiqing disappeared, searching for a long time without finding a trace of her or Xia Hao in the workshop.

"Hall Master, they’re gone! What should we do?" asked a minion of the Broken Soul Gate.

The Qinglong Hall Master’s face was far from pleasant, his sharp gaze sweeping over the entire workshop. The brothers had searched thoroughly earlier; An Yiqing and Xia Hao were indeed gone! Ironically, they hadn’t even seen how the two managed to escape against over a hundred men!
