A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1464 Blood-red Twilight

The commotion at the Lv estate didn't last long.

Some mysterious people turned up to control the situation. They drove the crowd away and secured the area within a one kilometer radius from the Lv estate.

Dozens of police cars came as well, probably because they didn't have enough manpower. All the intersections were cordoned off, and no one was permitted entry.

The situation at the Lv estate was quickly under control.

"President Zhang, we have secured the area within a one kilometer radius, and all members of the public have been made to leave. Also, we have told the city officials about this and got them to suppress the news from the media."

A white-haired old man stood in front of the debris.

The man solemnly stood in front of the Lv estate with his hands behind him without saying a word for a long time.

Behind him, a young man was reporting the situation to the old man.

If Lv Hua was present, he would have recognized the white-haired old man as president of the Jiangbei Martial Arts Association, Zhang Jiu-Ling.

In terms of seniority, Zhang Jiu-Ling ranked above Lv Song-Liang.

Since Lv Song-Liang had become a grandmaster and even rose to the ranks of a supreme grandmaster, he had outdone Zhang Jiu-Ling in terms of skill and reputation.

After all, Zhang Jiu-Ling was just an elder who wasn't good enough to be a grandmaster.

Even though he couldn't compete with Lv Song-Liang, he was more than enough to rank second in the Jiangbei martial arts circles.

Despite being in his twilight years, Zhang

Jiu-Ling worked hard and wanted to become a grandmaster, probably motivated by Lv Song-Liang's success.

Zhang Jiu-Ling lived in seclusion while he cultivated, so his presence in society gradually diminished.

He hadn't even turned up for Lv Song-Liang's banquet since he felt too embarrassed to go.

Back in the day when Zhang Jiu-Ling became the president of Jiangbei Martial Arts Association, Lv Song-Liang was a nobody. Many years later, Lv Song-Liang had become a supreme grandmaster while Zhang Jiu-Ling remained stuck where he was. Sometimes, Zhang Jiu-Ling felt embarrassed just thinking about it.

However, life was filled with surprises.

Just this morning, Zhang Jiu-Ling felt certain that he would be surpassed by Lv

Song-Liang for the rest of his life. However, such a major catastrophe befell the Lv clan out of the blue.

Zhang Jiu-Ling was certain that it was the work of martial artists when he heard about the news.

Hence, Zhang Jiu-Ling immediately used his authority to seal off the area so that the mundane circles wouldn't go into a panic.

"But who could the culprit be? If he could raze the estate to the ground without leaving a single survivor, he must be at least at the grandmaster level. Also, considering how vicious he was, he had quite a vendetta against the Lv family."

Zhang Jiu-Ling nodded when he heard his report.

He fell into deep thought as he looked at the rubble before him.

Since Zhang Jiu-Ling was a martial artist from Jiangbei, he was keenly aware of how much power the Lv clan wielded.

Other than Lv Song-Liang, the Lv clan had plenty of innate and imminent level martial artists.

Even if Lv Song-Liang wasn't home, no ordinary martial artist would have been capable of wiping the Lv clan out.

Zhang Jiu-Ling was certain even he wasn't capable of doing it.

"Never mind. I will let the Lv family take care of this themselves. Send someone to tell Elder Lv about what happened at the estate."

Since Lv Song-Liang was holding the banquet on West Lake, Zhang Jiu-Ling reckoned that his enemy had taken the chance to attack their estate while everyone was out.

He had to admit that the culprit had picked the perfect time to do this.

This was the one day when Lv Song-Liang wasn't home. Otherwise, the culprit would never have succeeded.

He might even have gotten slaughtered by Lv Song-Liang the moment he showed up.

Tve already sent someone to tell Elder Lv about it. He ought to be back by now," replied his subordinate. "Okay," Zhang Jiu-Ling nodded.

WOONG...

A rumble could be heard as a car drove over.

The moment it stopped, the car door opened, and a young man quickly got off with panic in his eyes.

He ran right over to Zhang Jiu-Ling when he spotted him.

"President...President Zhang, bad news! S-something happened at West Lake too."

What?

Zhang Jiu-Ling was shocked to hear this. "What did you just say? Are you saying that someone crashed Lv Song-Liang's banquet as well? How can that be? Who would dare to make trouble at a supreme grandmaster's banquet? Does he have a death wish or something?" Zhang Jiu-Ling was shocked to hear this.

After all, supreme grandmasters were untouchable.

Since supreme grandmasters were the most powerful people in the martial arts circle, no one dared to offend them.

Zhang Jiu-Ling found it unbelievable that someone had the guts to make trouble at a supreme grandmaster's celebration.

Zhang Jiu-Ling drove to West Lake, where Lv Song-Liang's banquet was held.

He recalled that the banquet was held on the island at the heart of West Lake.

The moment he arrived, Zhang Jiu-Ling was shocked to find that the island that had stood at the center of West Lake for over a thousand years was no more.

As far as the eye could see, there was only

water.

Bits of blood, bone and flesh could be faintly seen floating on the lake.

"Goodness...What happened? Where is Lv Song-Liang? Where has he gone?"

Zhang Jiu-Ling stood on the boat and looked at the ghastly sight. His face instantly turned pale. He found the sight before him grisly and strange.

He wanted to know what on earth had happened here.

How did Lv Song-Liang's banquet end up looking more like a purgatory?

"Contact Elder Lv this instant. Since he is the star of the banquet, he should know best about what happened here," said Zhang Jiu-Ling deeply. "What are you standing around for? Why aren't you calling Elder Lv?"

Zhang Jiu-Ling instantly frowned as he spoke when he noticed his subordinate's inaction.

"P-president Zhang, look over there.Js that...is that Elder Lv?" After a brief silence, his subordinate suddenly raised his hand as he pointed up ahead and spoke with his voice trembling.

Zhang Jiu-Ling raised his head to see a slanted stone pillar stuck right in the middle of West Lake.

An old man had been pinned to the stone pillar by a sword as water surged wildly beneath it.

He looked like a prisoner nailed to a crucifix!

The sword had pierced right through his forehead as he stared in despair and fear with his eyes wide.

It looked tragic and horrific in the twilight.

Zhang Jiu-Ling was so terrified by the sight that he collapsed onto his bum.

"Hurry! Call War God Castle this instant!" roared Zhang Jiu-Ling in panic.
