Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

Just as the Yun Residence was facing such a great crisis, Yun Cangxue's decision to employ the Blood Hand Guild was akin to adding frost to snow, a realization that dawned on Yun Canglang.

The most terrifying aspect of the Blood Hand Guild was that no one had any idea of its origins, nor how many members it actually had.

People only knew that once the Blood Hand Guild was employed, its members would complete the task.

Whether the target was a commoner or even royalty and nobility, the Blood Hand Guild would carry it out without exception.

The Blood Hand Guild was so mysterious that it demanded a very special compensation for its assassinations, not gold coins, but requiring the other party to help fulfill an equivalent condition as payment.

If the employer could not meet the payment, the people of the Blood Hand Guild would recklessly seek vengeance at all costs.

Within the territory of Great Zhou, there was once a wealthy household that, due to a business dispute, employed the Blood Hand Guild to kill their competitors.

But after the killing, the Blood Hand Guild demanded the wealthy household exchange their entire fortune for the service.

The wealthy household naturally refused, yet the next day, sixty-three members of the household, including all their servants and livestock, were slaughtered without a single survivor.

Since then, the notorious reputation of the Blood Hand Guild spread rapidly across the Wuji Continent.

Similar incidents were not rare, and the Blood Hand Guild could be called the most infamous assassin organization on the continent in the past few decades.

Therefore, Yun Canglang was so panic-stricken upon learning that Yun Cangxue had actually employed the Blood Hand Guild.

An open attack is easy to dodge, but a hidden one is hard to defend against; even Yun Canglang did not dare to provoke the Blood Hand Guild, unimaginable that Yun Cangxue hired them without any consultation with the family.

"Cangxue, you dare hire the Blood Hand Guild behind my back!" Yun Bahe burst out from the room. In just a few days, Yun Bahe seemed to have aged several years, his originally light grey hair now streaked with white.

"I... Father, you can't blame me. These days, those people have been causing a disturbance outside the residence, and Yuyu hasn't had proper rest for many days. The Wolf Fang Hunting Corps is not to be trifled with either. I hired the Blood Hand Guild to intimidate the Wolf Fang Hunting Corps," Yun Cangxue continued to argue.

Yun Cangxue did not tell the Yun Family that in her heart, she even considered the worst plan – if the Wolf Fang Hunting Corps persisted in their harassment, she would have the Blood Hand Guild assassinate their commander.

"Nonsense, have you considered whether you could even meet the conditions of the Blood Hand Guild?" Yun Bahe uttered a sigh of regret. He had not expected that in the few days he was searching for a solution behind closed doors, Yun Cangxue had made an even bigger blunder.

"At worst, we'll just offer them more treasures; we don't want gold, the Yun Residence has plenty of things for them to choose from," Yun Cangxue didn't think she had done anything wrong.

"How long has it been since you issued the commission? Is it still possible to cancel it?" Yun Canglang was full of self-reproach, thinking that if he had returned earlier, perhaps Yun Cangxue wouldn't have acted impulsively.

Upon seeing her father and Yun Canglang, who had always remained unflinching even as Mount Tai crumbled, now showing such grim expressions, Yun Cangxue realized that she had caused a huge disaster.

It seemed that the Blood Hand Guild she had provoked was an even more thorny problem than the Wolf Fang Hunting Corps.

"It's too late now. When I woke up this morning, I found an extra post by my bed," Yun Cangxue hesitated, pulling out a note from her sleeve.

It was a gilded note, perfectly square, with four meticulously attached gold tassels at the corners of the invitation note, made from a special metal, looking no different from that of a wealthy family's.

But on the cover of the note was a blood handprint the size of an adult's palm.

The Blood Handprint emitted a peculiar scent, like a mix of blood and fragrance, causing palpitations in anyone who merely inhaled it.

The Bloody Hand Ditch's Blood Hand Flyer, this notice signifies the Bloody Hand Ditch has taken on Yun Cangxue's commission.

If they renege on the agreement now, they would still face the relentless pursuit and assassination of the Bloody Hand Ditch.

Early this morning... Yun Bahe furrowed his brows.

Though he had been secluding himself in the training room these past few days, he was still informed of the goings-on outside.

Among the Hunter Soldiers from the Wolf Fang Hunting Corps who have been storming into the Yun Residence in recent days, there were quite a few competent ones.

These individuals could not be thwarted by the mere third-rate mercenaries Yun Cangxue had sought out.

Every time someone tried to break into the courtyard of Yun Cangxue and her son, Yun Bahe would intervene to warn them off.

The formidable pressure of a Martial Saint was astonishing; even without stepping outside, he managed to scare the intruding Hunter Soldiers into fledging in panic.

However, this morning, Yun Bahe did not notice anyone infiltrating the General Mansion.

Could it be that within the Bloody Hand Ditch, there exists a master of the Martial Saint level, equal to himself?

"Father, now that things have come to this, the only way out is to resolve the matter of the Wolf Fang Hunting Corps before the arrival of Bloody Hand Ditch. Tang Yu must offer an apology this time," insisted Yun Canglang, determined to have Tang Yu accompany him to the Wolf Fang Hunting Corps.

One issue at a time, to prevent the Yun Residence from being attacked from both sides, which would only lead to more desperate trouble.

"No, Grandfather, Yuyu does not want to go," Tang Yu hadn't expected that in the end, he would have to meet with the Wolf Fang Hunting Corps.

"Tang Yu, you're a man. What is this crying and whimpering about," Yun Bahe, who had just heard from within the house Yun Cangxue's indulgence of her own son and the insults towards Yun Sheng.

Seeing Tang Yu's disappointing behavior and recalling the calm and composed demeanor of Yun Sheng during the earlier charity medical service.

Why is it that within the Yun Family, the descendants are poles apart?

"There's no need to discuss this further, Cang Lang, take Yuyu to the Wolf Fang Hunting Corps. I will handle the matter of the Bloody Hand Ditch later," Despite being disappointed with Tang Yu, Yun Bahe couldn't bear to just watch Tang Yu be killed.

Yun Cangxue still argued, but Yun Bahe gave her a cold glance, "Cangxue, you have greatly disappointed me. These few days, you are forbidden from any contact with Yuyu. Guards, take her away. From now on, anyone who seeks to aid the Third Miss will be expelled from the General Mansion and will never be employed again."

It was only after today's drastic change that Yun Bahe realized how wrong it had been to entrust the affairs of the Yun Residence to Yun Cangxue all these years.

Amid the complaints of Yun Cangxue and the wailing of Tang Yu, both were taken away.

The unskilled Hunter Soldiers brought in by Yun Cangxue were also dismissed by Yun Bahe.

"Uncle Yun, investigate those servants and guests who left the General Mansion during this incident, and blacklist them. I want to make sure they can never gain a foothold within the territory of Dazhou again. Also, spread some false information. I suspect that over these days, the Yun Residence has been infested with many spies," Yun Bahe, having stayed in the training room for days, had cooled his head.
