Tomb raiding: Today is another day I don't want to go home.

Chapter 84's acting never disappointed.

The snow in the square has melted. The Wang family isn't born in the Year of the Dog, but rather like a phoenix; they will burn like charcoal, turning white into black. (This plot only applies to the Wang family in the book; please don't generalize. The author is protecting their own life.)

Yan Huai stood on the high platform, looking at the uninvited Wang family members with a look of mockery in his eyes. He walked down the steps with his knife in hand, and the clansmen spontaneously fell silent on both sides of him, both to be on guard and to protect their clan leader in case of danger.

"So you're Yan Huai? You're much better looking than your good-for-nothing father, but you're too young and don't know how to use your face!" A member of the Wang family, who was fairly decent-looking, looked Yan Huai up and down. His lewd gaze made the members of the Canglong clan wish they could rush up and chop him to pieces.

"Fourth Brother, you're wrong about that. It's not too late for him to understand now!" Standing next to Wang Lao Si was a scruffy-bearded man... let's just call him a man for now! He clearly looked like an unevolved gorilla, yet he could speak human language, which was quite comical.

"Kid, if you come over and kneel down obediently, I'll let you see your parents. Although they might still be alive now, if you delay too long, I can't guarantee what will happen!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Huai's eyes darkened with a layer of black mist. When he looked up again, the black mist had quietly dissipated, leaving only the branding knife in his hand still ringing.

"OK......"

Seemingly surprised by Yan Huai's response, everyone was stunned for a moment. By the time they came to their senses, Yan Huai had already taken a step forward.

"Clan leader!"

"careful!"

Yan Huai ignored him, like a soulless shell, but the white marble bricks beneath his feet cracked inch by inch as he moved. With each step he took, the pressure and ferocity around him intensified, as if he were about to take a life rather than kneel down.

Seeing this, the Azure Dragon Clan members hurriedly followed, their confidence seemingly emanating from nowhere, allowing them to confront the Wang family, whose numbers outnumbered their own by several times.

Unexpectedly, when Yan Huai was a few steps away from Wang Laosi and "that gorilla", he suddenly let go of his oppressive aura and ferocity. He loosened his grip slightly, and the branding knife fell to the ground with a crisp hum.

"Clan leader?"

A member of the Azure Dragon Clan who was standing a little closer to Yan Huai looked at him with a puzzled expression, his face showing a subconscious disappointment. But Yan Huai ignored him and simply took a few more steps forward as if he were about to surrender himself to Yan Huai as if he were to disregard his status and responsibilities.

"Didn't you hear me? My parents are in their hands. If I don't kneel, I'll never see them again..."

Yan Huai's voice trembled slightly, sounding both genuine and feigned, even carrying a pitiful air of bearing humiliation. Yet, his words were like a judgment, hastily deciding the life and death of all the Canglong clan members.

"Clan leader, don't be fooled by their one-sided story. The patriarch and his wife will definitely be safe!"

"Yes, clan leader, you are our clan leader! We can go together to rescue the patriarch and his wife, but you can't abandon us now!"

"That's right, clan leader, calm down! At worst, we'll fight them to the death!"

"Chieftain, cheer up, we are one..."

"Why waste words with him? He'll probably back down as soon as he sees the Wang family. What a coward! What a worthless clan leader!"

"That's right! Disregarding your responsibilities as clan leader, you betrayed your own people on the battlefield. You are not worthy of being our clan leader at all!"

Yan Huai seemed oblivious to the arguments and curses coming from behind him. He only looked at the Wang family members not far away. As the curses became more and more unscrupulous, they became more and more gloating and relaxed.

"Your clan leader is just being pragmatic. If you were as obedient as him, you wouldn't have to suffer the pain of being skinned alive. It's a great deal!"

A dark glint flashed in Yan Huai's eyes. So this was the Wang family's true purpose. As a branch of the dragon race, the Azure Dragons' lifespan was tens of thousands of times longer than that of the Phoenixes, and their flesh and blood possessed effects comparable to legendary elixirs for ordinary people. However, these records were taboo for the Azure Dragons. The fact that the Wang family knew these things must be due to an inside traitor...

Yan Huai recalled the face of the clansman who had delivered the message but was killed by him. He sneered inwardly. His feigned surrender had revealed some people with guilty consciences, but he had no evidence and was unaware of Yan Zhe and Gu Ling's situation. He couldn't just take action directly under duress, otherwise it would cause his clansmen to become disunited and scattered.

Yan Huai maintained his dejected and numb expression. He walked up to Wang Laosi and "Gorilla". Just as the latter raised his hand to touch his cheek, Yan Huai's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he crushed "Gorilla's" entire arm with his backhand.

"Ah—" The howl of the "gorilla" came to an abrupt halt as the hand that had transformed into a dragon claw slammed down.

Without even glancing at the people around him who were still in shock, Yan Huai stomped on the head of the "gorilla" lying on the ground and crushed it.

"I will send your descendants to kneel before you on their way to the underworld."
