Chapter 22: The Dongyang Lady
The man in black had said that the gatekeeper lived inside and that they used the call of a nightingale as a signal—seven long calls and four short ones. However, Qin Sang didn’t know how to mimic a nightingale’s call, so he hid in the shadows and summoned King Yan.
"Go inside..."
Qin Sang commanded, his eyes fixed on the courtyard. King Yan, lacking intelligence and unable to distinguish between friend and foe, hesitated briefly before Qin Sang ordered in a low voice, "Kill everyone inside!"
King Yan phased through the walls, and Qin Sang followed, vaulting over the wall into the courtyard. He arrived just in time to see King Yan pulling the soul of a middle-aged man from his body.
The man’s appearance matched the description given by the man in black—this was the gatekeeper!
Relieved to have found the key figure, Qin Sang immediately began his interrogation.
His primary concern was to find out how many people knew about Old Wu and the man in black’s activities at Qingyang Temple.
If the gatekeeper had reported it, Qin Sang would relentlessly pursue them, even if it meant confronting the leader of Jiangshan Tower himself.
Qin Sang realized that even against martial arts experts, King Yan remained invincible.
