I transmigrated to ancient times and became a king with a title equal to mine.

Standing on the old locust tree outside the Zhu family compound, gazing at the Marquis's palace engulfed in flames in the distance, Long Bin roared silently, "Let the fire burn even more fiercely! Burn away all the demons and monsters!"

Long Bin quietly entered the bedroom of Zhu Shouwang, the old head of the Zhu family.

With a click, the old man on the bed immediately got up.

"who?"

Dressed as a night owl, Long Bin said coldly, "Have you been doing too many bad things that you haven't been sleeping well?"

Zhu Shouwang's right hand was already pointing directly at the newcomer, his palm-sized bow ready to fire an arrow.

Long Bin was shocked when he saw this: Does such exquisite miniature bow and arrow still exist in this era?

Zhu Shouwang naturally denied it outright, replying calmly, "I am a good man, how could I do something against my conscience?"

"The fact that you jumped up in surprise and immediately produced a weapon shows that this is a habit you've developed over more than a decade of fear."

"Who are you? You want money? I don't have any. You want my life? I'll fight you to the bitter end."

Zhu Shouwang is at least seventy years old. In an era where the global average lifespan is less than forty-five, living to seventy is truly a long life.

In his youth, Zhu Shouwang roamed the world. In his middle age, he met a benefactor and joined the army. By the age of forty, he had returned home with honors. At this time, his cousin became the empress in the palace. From then on, he changed his ways and started a business.

Having experienced many things, I have developed an extremely strong mental resilience.

Long Bin had no time for pleasantries and said directly, "I am a descendant of the Qin family, and I have come tonight to collect a debt."

"The Qin family?" Zhu Shouwang trembled, but quickly regained his composure and feigned ignorance, asking, "I don't owe the Qin family any debts."

"Do you intend to deny the blood debt of thirty-six lives lost by the Qin family?"

"You dug up the Qin family's ancestral graves, have you forgotten?"

At this point, Zhu Shouwang could no longer deny it.

However, he couldn't imagine that after repeated checks and confirmations, the Qin family had been wiped out, so how did a debt collector come to collect it?

The old thief was inwardly apprehensive, but vehemently denied it: "What thirty-six people? What digging up ancestral graves? What does that have to do with me?"

"Zhu Shouwang!" Long Bin shouted sternly, "Both you and your son were involved in the Qin family massacre twelve years ago. Are you going to deny it no matter what? If you admit it, you'll die a quick death; if you deny it, I'll have you torn to pieces!"

"you……?"

"You, who are you?"

As he stammered his question, he leaped up, and with a snap, a poisoned arrow flew from the small iron bow in his hand, heading straight for Long Bin's face.

Long Bin chuckled and said, "Your skills are not bad, but it's a pity you've run into me."

With a few sharp slaps, the poisoned arrows were not only deflected, but the old thief was also knocked down.

"..."

The old thief lay on the ground, completely bewildered. Although he was already in his seventies, he was still an eighth-grade master. How could he be no match for the opponent's single hand?

"Who exactly is this hero?"

"After Consort Ning, I'm here to avenge my maternal grandfather and uncle's blood debts," Long Bin said through gritted teeth.

"After Consort Ning?" The old thief pondered for a moment before a look of panic appeared on his face.

“This sinner kowtows to Your Majesty the King of the South. I am willing to submit to the law and beg Your Majesty to spare my family.”

"Shut up! When you slaughtered the entire Qin family, did you spare even a single member, young or old?"

Long Bin was furious, his voice blazing with anger. "After you confess all the people who were involved, I'll give your whole family a quick death. If you provide valuable information, I'll consider letting the elderly, women, and children go."

As he spoke, he walked to the old thief's bedside table, because there was something on the table that his grandfather treasured.

This is my grandfather's trophy, a small and exquisite dagger made of bronze.

Seeing that the Prince of the South was completely focused on the military dagger, Zhu Shouwang's eyes flashed with a fierce light. He suddenly flashed a short sword from his right sleeve, concentrated all his internal strength, and thrust the sword forward.

As the short sword pierced the opponent's outer garment, the old thief shouted excitedly, "You bastard, die!"

But just then, the person in front of them suddenly disappeared.

The old thief realized something was wrong and exclaimed, "Where is he?"

"Ah..." In an instant, someone grabbed his neck from behind.

Lifting Zhu Shouwang up, Long Bin roared, "Are you planning to have your entire family wiped out?"

As he spoke, he pulled a small bag from his pocket and whispered, "Do you know what this is?" The old thief looked miserable and said, "I don't know."

"You don't know, do you?" Long Bin lowered his voice and said, "Do you know the treasure used to blow up the Dongjiang bandits?"

"Ah? Explosives?!" The old thief fainted from fright.

Long Bin poked the old thief with his finger, and the old thief woke up with a cry.

Long Bin stuffed the bag into his arms and said, "It's okay if you don't tell me. I'll let you and your whole family enjoy the feeling of being struck by lightning."

"This...?" Zhu Shouwang was so frightened that he lost control of his bladder and bowels, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Put me down, and I'll tell you everything."

"Stop talking nonsense and speak!"

Having no other choice, Zhu Shouwang could only say, "I only know that my family and the Wang and Li families were among the participants. On the day of the attack, there were the second and third sons of the Su family, the second son of the Zhao family, and a man named Chen Lei. I don't know about the others, nor am I qualified to know."

Long Bin had heard Hu Deren's account, and Zhu Shouwang's words were correct.

With a thud, Zhu Shouwang was thrown to the ground.

"Tell me, who is the real culprit behind this?"

The old thief took a few breaths and coughed a few times. Just then, someone outside the door asked, "Old man, what's wrong?"

Zhu Shouwang's eyes flashed, but the Southern King's piercing gaze made him lose his soul. He quickly said, "It's nothing, I just choked on the water."

Hearing the footsteps outside fade away, Long Bin urged in a low voice, "Speak!"

"I don't know who's behind this, but Hua Lingchun should."

"Stop talking nonsense, that old dog is long dead."

“He’s not dead,” Zhu Shouwang blurted out.

"What? He's not dead?" In Long Bin's memory, Hua Lingchun was poisoned to death by the ghost three years ago.

"He was very cunning. He not only kept his children and family members out of the Qin family's affairs, but he also kept it a secret from them. It is true that you poisoned him three years ago, but he had been exposed to poison for ten years since childhood and was already immune to all poisons. His death was a lie."

"How did he fake his death? Do his family know?"

"He is a master at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, specializing in the Turtle Breathing Technique. After being poisoned, he feigned death and then broke out of the coffin, which was very easy for him."

Long Bin was quite surprised to hear this and quickly asked, "How did you know?"

“He and I are fellow disciples; how could his cunning schemes escape my notice?”

Do you know where he's hiding?

Zhu Shouwang shook his head and said, "I'm not quite sure."

Seeing that he was not being honest, Long Bin reached out and grabbed his neck again, coldly saying, "Tell me where he is, and the details of the murderer behind him. Otherwise, your entire family will be wiped out!"

Zhu Shouwang's old eyes flickered a few times, and he sighed before asking, "Do you keep your word?"

"You have no right to ask that question. Are you going to talk or not?"

"Sigh... He is the leader of the Qian Sect."

Upon hearing this, Long Bin was stunned. Everyone knew that Qianmen was a legitimate sect, and the current sect leader was Wang Wucun. How could it be him?
