Liu Wuxie stopped in his tracks and fixed his gaze on Song Tianhao: "Speak, what news."
After verifying the facts and finding it helpful to the Xu family, he didnt mind helping the Song family a bit, but there was no value in doing so. He turned around and left.
"I received news that the Wan and Tian families are secretly joining forces, intending to seize the Xu familys Purple Gold Mine, cutting off your supply of ore. Even if you manage to refine spiritual weapons, without raw materials, a skilled woman cannot cook without rice."
Xu Jias refinement of spiritual weapons has spread throughout Canglang City, and it is no longer a secret.
Xu familys refining equipment main material, produced from the Zi Jin mine vein, had just gotten rid of the refining problem, the military workshop returned to normal, lost the Zi Jin mine vein, Xu family fell into trouble again.
"Is the news reliable?"
A terrifying murderous intent spread out from Liu Wuxie, causing the ten elders of the Song family who were standing not far away to reveal a hint of horror in their eyes.
This aura is too terrifying, especially the Second Elder, whose whole body was trembling, recalling that one knife just now, his heart still had lingering fear.
"Its absolutely certain that they will make their move in the next few days. They have brought strong reinforcements from other major cities to seize control of the Xu familys Purple Gold Mine by force. If you take precautions ahead of time, there is still a chance for you."
Song Tian Haos affirmative answer was that the news was untrue, and he didnt dare to say it out loud. Even if Liu Wu Xie saved the Array Hall today, they would still need him to continuously perfect the central array in the future.
"Ill trust you this time, and you immediately prepare the formation materials."
Regardless of whether its true or false, Liu Wuxie will believe him once and after finishing things here, hell personally go to the Zi Jin mine vein. Once he investigates, if Song Tianhao has deceived him, he wont mind destroying the entire Array Hall.
"Whatever materials Liu Gongzi needs, they are all in this storage bag, although used."
Song Tianhao took off the storage bag from his waist and threw it to Liu Wuxie, a low-grade storage bag worth 5 million gold coins. The Song family is indeed wealthy and extravagant, the number one family in Canglang City.
Divine consciousness entered a storage bag, roughly ten square meters in size, where a large amount of refined array materials were piled up. The body transformed into a shooting star and entered a dilapidated building.
"You stay here and keep order, Ill go in with Master Liu."
Song Tian Haos words stirred up all the elders, who immediately took action to maintain order in the Array Formation Hall and prevent the situation from escalating further.
A large number of buildings were still collapsing, the underground world was densely packed with arrays, thick beams as big as thighs came crashing down, Liu Wuxie displayed the Seven Star Steps, easily dodging them.
Two people, one in front and one behind, have already entered the core of the formation.
Time for a cup of tea, Liu Wuxie stopped in front of him, and a super large formation appeared, with countless gears rotating to maintain the operation of the entire formation hall.
One by one, the fabric array materials flew out of Liu Wuxies hands, a total of fifty spirit stones flying in all directions.
Song Tian Haos eyeballs almost popped out, what kind of operation was this? Before he could even think about it, Liu Wu Xies body flashed towards the center, his hands formed a seal, and he injected mark after mark. All the array eyes transmitted a series of cracking sounds.
"This is... This is the Array Spirit Seal!"
Song Tianhao couldnt describe his emotions at this moment, knowing that only five people in the Song family understood the art of spiritual tattoos.
The array talismans carved by Liu Wuxie were profound and mysterious, Song Tianhao looked at them as if they were in the clouds and fog, he had never touched such a profound thing before, he could only memorize them hard, remembering as much as he could.
The collapsing formation core suddenly stopped rotating, the building no longer collapsed, and a large amount of formation spiritual patterns were injected to stabilize the core first. Repairing is not an overnight task.
"In the Array Central, I have temporarily stabilized it. To thoroughly repair it, a large amount of materials are needed. I will make a list, and you should gather them as soon as possible. These array spirit patterns can last at most for ten days. If the materials cannot be gathered within ten days, I will also be unable to do anything."
Return the storage bag to Song Tianhao, it cost more than 50 spirit stones and hundreds of array materials, just to maintain for ten days.
"Thank you, Lord Liu! Ill have someone prepare it right away!"
Song Tianhao was thoroughly convinced, and with Liu Wuxie not present today, the entire Array Hall was destroyed.
"We made a fair deal, I still have something to do, the list of materials for purchasing goods, let Songling go to Xujia to pick it up. Todays events, I hope Songs family wont leak out, keep it confidential for me."
Turned into a shooting star and disappeared on the spot, Song Tianhao fell silent.
As they walked out of the Array Formation Hall, a crowd had gathered. The elder of the Song clan was explaining that the injured martial artists would receive compensation and that they would try to minimize their losses.
Back at the Xu family, Father-in-law was in the main hall discussing with Blue Official about reopening the military equipment workshop. Every day they needed a large amount of purple gold ore, but within just a few days, the teams transporting the ore were ambushed several times, resulting in heavy losses for the Xu family.
"Father-in-law!"
Entering the grand hall, he bowed slightly. Earlier, they had overheard their conversation, and it turned out that the Xu familys Zi Jin mine vein indeed had a problem.
The Zi Jin mine vein is deep in the Lu Ri mountain range, three days journey from Cang Lan City. After passing through a canyon, the Xu family has walked for many years and rarely encountered an ambush. Occasionally, they would encounter those who didnt open their eyes, but it wasnt very harmful to the Xu family.
In just two short days, more than a dozen people were seriously injured, the purple gold ore was looted, and the Xu family has indeed been plagued by misfortunes recently.
Xu Yilin nodded, having gone to Liu Wuxies courtyard a few days ago. He could confirm that the heavenly phenomenon caused by breaking through the Pre-Heavenly realm was indeed his doing. His expectations for Liu Wuxie were getting higher and higher.
"Father-in-law, is there a problem with the Zi Jin mine?"
Liu Wu Xies uncertain inquiry, Song Tian Haos message, nine out of ten is true.
"Yes, someone has been secretly opposing our Xu family, stealing our goods and causing the Arsenal to lose its raw materials and cease operations."
Without hiding the truth, the news spread quickly throughout Changlan City. Those merchants who had placed orders were worried and had paid a deposit, of course, they did not want to lose their money.
"Whats going on between Tian and Wan families?"
Canglang City, apart from their two families, other small families cannot fight against the Xu family. The Arsenal has been restarted, and the most damaged is only the Tian family.
The Tian family poached over a dozen master craftsmen from the Xu family, invested a large amount of gold coins, and mobilized the entire clan to build five weapon workshops. Just as they were about to go public, they were beaten by the Xu family before they could even react.
The Wan familys arena was no exception, and after a scandal involving behind-the-scenes manipulation broke out, the arenas business plummeted.
"Its still uncertain for the time being. The description of the guards who escaped and returned, the robbers were a group of people in black clothes, not like the masters of Canglang City."
Canglang City is so big, everyone knows each others bottom line, its strange that the Xu family didnt offend anyone else, why did they repeatedly rob the transport team.
Liu Wuxie stroked his smooth chin, verifying the information provided by Song Tianhao. The two families had hired masters from other major cities to secretly attack the Xu family.
"Father-in-law, our next batch of troops, when will they arrive."
The word on the street is that Bing Qi Fang has sold out of stock. If we dont get more supplies in, customers who have placed orders will probably have to be refunded.
"Tomorrow, they will pass through the valley. These several times of robbery all took place here. I plan to go there myself and see who is secretly intercepting our Xu familys goods."
Xu Yilin finished speaking, and a thick murderous aura emanated from his body. It had been decades since he last killed someone; it seemed that people really thought he was too old for this sort of thing.
"Absolutely not!"
Liu Wuxie suddenly interrupted, preventing Xu Yilin from leaving the Xu family, right into the opponents plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Once Xu Yilin left, Changlan City would be unmanned, and the Tian family would quickly occupy the Xu familys alchemy room, invading other industries of the Xu family.
"Nothing evil, speak your mind."
After experiencing a scene in Bingqi Workshop, Lan Zhixis attitude towards Liu Wuxie changed greatly, and he looked over with his eyes, wanting to hear Liu Wuxies opinion.
"This time, its probably the Tian and Wan families who are behind this. These black-clad men are likely to be hired killers from other cities, with an obvious goal of ruining our Xu family. If we go now, well definitely fall into their trap of creating a diversion, and theyll take over our Xu familys ancestral property."
Liu Wuxie expressed his own thoughts, and the Wan and Tian families agreed with Master Huo that they would not kill him within a month, but did not say that they would not allow him to occupy the Xu familys ancestral property.
The ancestral home was occupied by others, and the Xu family stabilized the mine, whats the use.
Xu Yilins eyebrows furrowed slightly. He wasnt unaware of these things. Without the mine, how could he protect his foundation? All he could do was sit and watch it all disappear.
"Youre innocent, Im glad you can think of these things. Now that its come to this, is there any other way?"
Showing a hint of relief, Lan Zhis expression changed as he let out a sigh. The Xu family had reached a critical moment of life and death.
"Ill go myself, and Father-in-law can stay behind to guard the Xu family compound, so as to prevent the Tian family from secretly attacking the military equipment workshop."
Liu Wu Xie took a step forward, willing to go to the Zi Jin mine vein to investigate the truth.
"Nothings wrong, shall we go ahead?"
Xu Yilins expression changed to one of shock, normally, Liu Wuxie wouldnt even bother to step out of the Xu family gate, let alone venture into the treacherous Falling Sun Mountains alone.
"Blue Executor, you go out first and close the big door on your way!"
Liu Wuxie knew what his father-in-law was worried about, so he went to the Zi Jin mine alone. Its too dangerous, if Xu Lingxue were here, she might have been sent instead. The Xu family cant mobilize many people now.
Lan Zhi got up, looked at Xu Yilin and nodded, turned around and walked out of the main hall, closing the door with a creak, and the entire main hall became quiet.
"Father-in-law, I know youre worried that Ill be in danger if I go ahead. Please hold back your strength to the low-level Washing Spirit Realm."
Liu Wuxie was unwilling to waste words, and his father-in-laws concern for him was clear. He wouldnt let him take risks unless absolutely necessary, as it was his father-in-law who had raised him with his own hands. Now that the Xu family was facing a life-or-death crisis, how could he just sit back and do nothing?
Xu Yilins eyes narrowed and he stood up.
"Are you sure, Wú Xié?"
Low-level Washing Spirit Realm, enough to kill the peak of Innate Realm. Although not clear about Liu Wuxies true realm, I want to try it out. On that day in the Beast Fighting Arena, rumors spread that he killed twelve disciples of the Wan family with one knife, but I didnt see it with my own eyes.
"Confirmed!"
With his right hand grasping the short knife, a fierce aura emanated from him, filling the entire grand hall. Xu Yilins whole body trembled with this breath of air, which made him feel a hint of pressure.
Not daring to underestimate him, his right hand lifted up, controlling the power at a low level of washing spiritual realm. If there was any real danger, he could withdraw his power immediately, and harm would not come to Liu Wuxie.
"Be careful, father-in-law!"
The short knife emerged from its sheath, a flash of chilling light, pressing down on the air, an emotionless blade aura, tearing apart the tables and chairs on both sides. Xuyilin felt his pores exploding, this one strike made him smell the taste of death.
