Chapter Eighty-One: Scheming for Hides
In the dark of night, in a secluded alley, a black figure emerged from under the moonlight, it was that person with the silver mask! Letting out a faint eerie laugh.
"Who are you? How dare you show up?" Lü Quán's eyes were gloomy as he stared at the person, but he was somewhat surprised. This person dared to face him head-on, obviously not afraid of him. Lü Quán's gaze flickered, his naturally suspicious nature causing his spiritual energy to stir secretly.
"The master of the Lai family is indeed cautious, daring to appear in front of you, I am not afraid of you." The silver-masked man let out a cold hum, and a very strong spiritual power burst forth from his body, sweeping across the entire space, even the air seemed to tremble!
"You... are also a Condensed Pearl cultivator!" Lü Quán's eyes narrowed, exclaiming in shock that this spiritual energy actually contained a power that made him apprehensive!
"Haha, why are you still appearing in front of me? Come to kill me?" Lü Quán's tone was a bit calmer, warily staring at the person with the silver mask. He hadn't sensed this person's strength at the auction, obviously they had used some kind of treasure or spiritual medicine to conceal their aura.
The man in the silver mask twitched at the corner of his mouth, then walked closer to Lü Guan and shook his head. In a very low voice, he said, "Heh heh, killing you isn't necessary, perhaps it can be done, but it would be troublesome, and it will surely disturb the whole city. This is not what I want."
Lü Quán furrowed his brow, feeling that he couldn't see through the other's intentions, which were extremely mysterious. He said, "What is your purpose in coming here?"
The silver-masked man suddenly stopped speaking, then smiled strangely, and he moved, single-handedly removing the silver mask! Revealing his true face!
This person was actually an old man, with skin as wrinkled as if it had been scorched and left with marks! His hair was silver and sparse, the corner of his mouth drooped to the right, always seeming to be sneering, his left eye was very cloudy, deeply sunken. His right eye was dark red, like cooled lava!
"As expected, a person from the Medicine City, the evil old man Song Yin!" Lü Quán took a deep breath, and finally knew this person's identity. He was shocked in his heart. This person was a high-ranking member of the Medicine City - the Great Elder of the Medicine City! It can be said that even the patriarchs of the Medicine City clans had to show him respect, a person who held great power!
And yet this person actually appeared in the enemy's city, appearing before the master of the Li family! It was unthinkable.
Lü Quán's expression calmed down, then he said: "When did Yao Cheng become so bold, daring to appear in our Qingcang City?"
Song Yin's twisted face made people feel terrified, and he sneered coldly: "Hehe, Mr. Li, let's get straight to the point, this kind of threatening tone has no effect on me."
"What does our Li family have to say to your Song family? And earlier, the elder also auctioned off the precious vase, shouldn't that be explained?" Li Quan said bluntly, drawing a clear line.
Song Yin waved his hand and said with a hint of jest: "Don't be in such a hurry to draw boundaries, Master Lai. My Medicine City still wants to cooperate with the Lai family!"
"Cooperation?" Lei Quan's eyes flickered, without any expression.
"I know the Li and Zhou families have a long-standing feud, but hasn't the Li family noticed that the City Lord's Manor has been getting closer and closer to the Zhou family? The Li family is gradually falling into a disadvantageous position, and at some point, they might suffer a devastating blow from the Zhou family's City Lord's Manor!" Song Yin said with schadenfreude.
Li Quan didn't say a word, but stared at Song Yin, lost in thought.
"Haha, now that I'm here, it's because I want to cooperate with your family! I know that your family has always had the ambition to unify Qingcang City. Our Medicine City can work together with you, and in one fell swoop, destroy the City Master's Mansion and the Zhou Family! I wish your family a unified Qingcang City!" Song Yin said with a smile, his words extremely enticing.
Lai Quan remained silent for a long time before speaking, saying: "Your Medicine City has the power to destroy the Zhou family and the city master's mansion. Their strength can be said to be stronger than ours, not weaker! Moreover, how can I trust you, and after the event, won't you annihilate my Lai family?" Lai Quan was not foolish, thinking very carefully about the problem. Since Medicine City had the power to destroy the Zhou family and the city master's mansion, it would be easy for them to destroy the Lai family as well!
Song Yin smiled darkly: "As long as your Lü family cooperates, it's still possible to destroy the Zhou family and the City Master's Mansion. Our Qīngzhū strongmen are six! The Zhou family and the City Master's Mansion together only have six! Plus your four Qīngzhū strongmen from the Lü family, this lineup is enough! As for your Lü family, I think we can cooperate with each other, honesty is most important!"
Lai Quan took a deep breath, and indeed it was Yao Cheng, with financial resources that were not comparable to Qing Tian City. A family could give birth to six condensed bead masters, which was incredibly powerful! Moreover, the news was so accurate that it reported the correct number of condensed bead masters in the Lai family, when in fact there were only two on the surface. The Zhou family had only one, and the city lord's mansion also had only one condensed bead master, clearly hiding their true strength.
"Haha, Great Elder is really muddled. Honesty and whatnot are the most unreliable things. Bring out some actual goods instead, or else we might not be able to cooperate!" Li Quan took a deep breath and said coldly. If they could really work with Yao City, perhaps Qingcang City would one day become their own city, just like Yao City!
"Didn't you just want me to explain the auctioned treasure vase? Here, I'll give it to you, Lijia!" Song Yin's hand produced a delicate crystal vase and tossed it to Lijia with great generosity.
"Haha, it's probably not enough!" Lü Quan was startled in his heart and grasped the treasure bottle, definitely understanding Song Yin's intention.
"Ten pills of Po Zhuan Dan! And five hundred other kinds of medicinal pills." Song Yin said with a smile.
"Twenty stalks of hundred-year-old rare medicinal herbs!"
"Ten volumes of human-level martial arts! And what about this precious bottle?" Song Yin didn't feel any heartache at all.
Lü Quán took a deep breath and said, "What exactly does the Medicine City want to do?" Bringing out such an astonishingly large item, just to destroy the Zhou family and the City Master's Mansion? Lü Quán didn't believe it.
Song Yin mysteriously brought some disdain and said: "When things are done, you will know, don't worry, I won't destroy the Lijia."
"How?" Song Yin asked finally.
"Hmm, after careful consideration... Alright, deal!"
"Haha, alright!" Song Yin laughed loudly, sounding like a crow's call.
"By the way, take note of that little brat called Wang Shi. If you get the chance, kill him." A streak of murderous intent flowed out from Song Yin's eyes.
"Oh? This little guy has also offended you, Medicine City? What an interesting fellow."
"Some festivals can kill him better."
"This kind of small role, it's not worth dying for. Don't worry, our Lai family will help you solve the problem." Lai Quan had a very nonchalant attitude.
"Very good! Wish us a pleasant cooperation! Future Qingcang City Lord!"
Two eyes gleaming with a desire that has been infinitely expanding in the dark night finally reveal themselves here!
Qingcang City, wait for me to unify!
…………..
As the days went by, the news of Ya Xuan's auction also spread throughout Qingcheng City. The final treasure was unexpectedly auctioned off to an outsider, leaving everyone in shock and wonder!
"These three great powers of capital are actually no match for a lone individual?"
"Stupid, how could he possibly have no powerful backing? Otherwise, how could he take out 50 million gold coins?"
"But strangely, none of the three major forces went after him to kill him, which is puzzling."
"Who knows?"
……
Yaxuan auction house, there is also a person who has some fame, that is the leader of the six evil young men, Wang Shi. Who can control these bear children? Even the Zhou family is really headache, and this man named Wang Shi is actually the leader of these six teenagers?! This is indeed a rare thing.
"Who is this Wang Shi after all? Such an unremarkable name, what's so special about him?"
"Don't think about it, rumors have extremely strong soul power!"
"What kind of person is he? I'm really curious."
