The two of them went out together. Over on the other side, the Song family head Song Xiangwen—grandfather of Qiu Lingshan and Song Lingwei—and his younger brother Song Xianghua had also hurried out.
Song Xianghua and Song Lingwei exchanged a glance, and each saw the worry in the other's eyes.
"Who is making such a racket at the Song family gate, and what business have you here?" Song Xianghua knew their visitors came with ill intent and possessed formidable strength, but he could not let the Song family's prestige be diminished.
"You must be Song Xianghua?" The man who had bellowed earlier glanced at him and spoke indifferently. His code name was Firewolf War God Number Five, and he was the leader of this group.
"I am. And who are you?" As Song Xianghua spoke, he also unleashed the full extent of his late Heaven-rank peak great-perfection cultivation—a show of force meant to deter the newcomers.
"Hmph! We're here to take Song Lingwei away!" Firewolf War God Number Five said, continuing to radiate the late Heaven-rank peak great-perfection strength within him.
"Take me away? Then we shall see whether you have the ability!" Song Lingwei gave a cold laugh. "Strong as you may be, I, Song Lingwei, am no soft persimmon to be squeezed at will!"
With that, Song Lingwei stepped forward, revealing her late Heaven-rank peak great-perfection externalist cultivation.
"Heh heh!" Firewolf War God Number Five smiled carelessly and waved a hand at the three beside him. Instantly, those three also unveiled late Heaven-rank peak great-perfection strength.
Four experts of late Heaven-rank peak great-perfection strength!
This left Song Xianghua and Song Lingwei somewhat dumbfounded. Originally, with their combined strength, they could be said to roam unhindered; though one late Heaven-rank peak great-perfection expert had come, they had not taken it too seriously—two against one always held the advantage.
But who could have foreseen that four late Heaven-rank peak great-perfection experts would suddenly appear! With that, even Song Lingwei and Song Xianghua joining forces had no chance of victory whatsoever.
Since when had late Heaven-rank peak great-perfection experts become so cheap, that so many should arrive at once? Where had these four come from?
Even with the knowledge and experience of Song Lingwei and Song Xianghua, it was hard to determine the origins of these four. So for now, the only option was to probe their intentions.
Equally astonished were Qiu Lingshan and Song Xiangwen.
"You... are all late Heaven-rank peak great-perfection experts?" Song Lingwei stared at the four before her in horror. "Who are you? What have you come here... to do?"
"To take you away, of course!" Firewolf War God Number Five waved his hand and said calmly. "Song Lingwei, do you still remember the Devil's Trial in the Gotra Forest?"
"The Devil's Trial?" Song Lingwei's expression changed at once. Of course she remembered that trial—it was precisely that trial that had transformed her from an ordinary Yellow-rank externalist into a late Heaven-rank peak great-perfection externalist. She would never forget it as long as she lived!
But what did this man mean by bringing it up now? What was his intent?
"Heh heh. Back then, people from the Overseas Cultivators Association helped you and let you escape. How will you escape now?" Firewolf War God Number Five sneered coldly and laid out the reason for their coming.
"So... it's you!" Song Lingwei sighed. She had not expected these people to endure in silence for so many years, only to suddenly find her family here in Huaxia. But on reflection it was not hard to understand—overseas, she had the dual protection of the Overseas Cultivators Association and the mercenary organizations, and these people were unwilling to make a great fuss and oppose those two organizations.
