At the central intersection where two horizontal and vertical avenues intersect, a three-story bamboo building stands on the side of the road.
Bafeng Restaurant, as the top power in the settlement and one of the executive directors of the neighborhood committee, many people are willing to go to the restaurant opened by Bafangzhong.
In addition, the taste is really good, and no one dares to cause trouble on weekdays. Gradually, Bafanglou has become the most famous and prestigious gathering place in the Wisteria colony.
At this time, on the third floor, even though those who entered were required to be in the realm of a master, the seats used to be packed every meal time, but now it was quiet.
There are more than ten horizontal tables arranged among them, with people sitting on each. They all have strong auras and extraordinary manners. At first glance, they are in high positions.
Tunan was dressed in a black robe, half leaning on the chair, sitting in the middle, picked up a cup of tea, blew it gently without drinking, then put the tea cup on the table, looked around,
Looking at the familiar faces, his eyes were deep and calm.
The Purple Ox Horse Dragon Boat Festival Yi, the tiger-armed swordsman Di Yun, the flying clouds break the moon and warm Ping, the moving guest Songren Mo Jue...
These people all come from large-scale forces in the Ziteng settlement, top forces, and have a good reputation even in the Yizhou world.
Not long ago, during the second Beast Rebellion, the forces in the Tai'a Mountains were reshuffled. After he got Lin Mo's approval, he immediately cut through the mess and used tough methods to truly control the various settlements in the mountains.
Now that it was the turn of the Wisteria Colony, he used some means to gather a group of people here.
"What I mean is very simple. Nowadays, the Tai'a Mountain Range is becoming more and more chaotic. If you want to protect yourself, you must unite.
This is not for selfish gain, but for the stability of the Wisteria settlement, which is what we are seeing now."
Tunan said, straightening up slightly, twisting his neck and making a clicking sound.
After the words fell, there was silence.
Everyone in the field looked at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, without saying a word.
"Sorry, Brother Bloody Hand, I'm late." Just at this moment, there was a sound of going upstairs.
Downstairs, a strong boy-like man in a purple suit with long hair tied up in red silk ribbons strode up, looked around, clasped his fists towards Tunan who was sitting in the seat, and said awkwardly.
"Outside the settlement, I encountered a beast without eyes wandering around. It took some effort to deal with it... I'm sorry..." His child-like face was full of flattery, and he couldn't help but clasp his fists.
"Beasts without eyes..." Tunan smiled, nodded in understanding, and said seriously,
"I wonder what kind of beast Brother He Gui encountered?"
He frowned slightly, lowered his voice, and even moved his butt forward, looking very concerned.
However, seeing the other party's appearance, He Gui felt a chill in his heart, and his voice became more and more flattering:
"What I encountered... what I encountered was a two-headed silver wolf. That beastly master controls the strength, and he is very smart. He brought a group of silver wolves... it was difficult to deal with... so it took some time..."
"Grand Master... Haha." Tunan smiled, leaned back, tilted his head, looked around and looked at the people around him.
"The ones we hunt and kill on weekdays are all True Lords, all beast kings at the level of the Great True Lord.
You have to waste so much time to kill the Silver Wolf King around the Grand Master, with this strength..."
He looked at Wen Ping, Mo Jue and others on both sides again, then pursed his lips and shook his head. He rolled his eyes and landed on He Gui, who looked uneasy in front of him.
"You put so much effort into killing a great master, you have no qualifications to participate in this meeting!"
"I...I...The Wolf King brought a lot of wolves, it's difficult..." The boy-faced strong man was still distinguishing.
"You're half a cup of tea late. You just don't pay attention to this meeting. You just look down on us. It takes so much effort to kill a great master. That means you don't have the ability.
I have neither the ability nor the will..." Tunan patted the armrest of the seat. The next moment, his face turned cold and he said sternly:
"Get out!"
"I...I..." The boy-faced strong man was stunned, his Adam's apple rolled, and he was dumbfounded. He looked at the people around him, but no one responded.
His face suddenly turned pale, and he looked at Tunan in front of him, clasping his fists and bowing:
"Boss Bloody Hand... this... this is my fault. If the boss needs anything later, please send him a message at any time. He and I will go all out..." he said in a solemn voice.
Tunan still didn't say a word when he heard this, but just waved his hand.
The boy-faced man was relieved, clasped his fists again, bowed three times, and then staggered downstairs.
People in the venue had different expressions.
Tunan frowned, clapped his hands, and looked around with a smile:
"Okay, everyone should think about it. I also made it clear that our photo studio will be the leader of this alliance for the time being. This way we can protect everyone's interests.
As for the future, pricing rights, booth fees, and taxes will also be distributed fairly by us.
I wonder among you here, who is in favor and who is against?"
Everyone was silent again.
"I object!" At this time, Duan Wuyi, the purple-red ox-horse sitting nearby, suddenly spoke out. He was the leader of Bafangzhong.
"Xueshou, you wanted to join the neighborhood committee before. Okay, you can now, I agree, but what does it mean now? Start a new one? What do you think of us?"
As soon as this statement came out, the rest of the people present, especially those who were originally powerful members of the neighborhood committee, completely fell silent.
They also have the same idea, but due to the latter's strength, they are unwilling to take the lead in speaking out and act like the first person.
Suddenly, the eyes quickly fell on Tunan.
Tunan, who was in the center of everyone's attention, put his hands on the armrests of the seat and looked calm and calm:
"Whether it's starting a new business or joining the neighborhood committee, I will try my best to protect everyone's interests."
"Try your best? Is it interesting to play with some words? Bloody Hand, you really don't think you can cover the sky with just one hand. Let me tell you, if you don't explain things clearly, I will do the opposite..."
Bang!!
Before he finished speaking, Tunan, who was sitting safely aside, flashed and appeared directly next to Duanwu Yi in less than a blink of an eye.
Then a slap was placed on his face, and he was sent flying directly, hitting the central open space hard.
The huge sound, like thunder on the ground, made everyone present feel their hearts skip a beat.
"Bloody hands!" Duan Wuyi, who was lying on the ground, jumped up like a carp. His skin instantly turned purple, his forehead bones were bulging, and his eyes were about to burst.
However, as soon as he got up, an arm stained with black curse marks stretched across the front, grabbed his neck, and lifted him up.
Tunan lowered his head and looked at Duanwu Yi in front of him with cold eyes.
"I don't care who instructs you, but you want to cause destruction? Then I will..."
He exerted force with his five fingers, and the black curse mark symbols flowed rapidly, suppressing them directly.
"I will fulfill you."
"Kill me, come! Kill me! Kill me and you will die too! Ho ho ho! There is someone behind you. Do you think there is no one behind me?" Duanwu Yi said ferociously.
"Really?" Tunan smiled instead of getting angry.
Among those sitting there, several people immediately made eye contact when they saw this and stood up slowly.
"It's so busy, do you need my help?" Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the door, and a tall figure appeared at the door.
The figure is dressed in a black cassock, with a large string of black fist-sized rosary beads hanging around his neck, and has black hair shawl.
The skin color is extremely pale, even giving people a strange feeling, which is in sharp contrast with the sharp edges and corners of the facial features.
Coupled with his burly and strong figure, it creates an indescribable look.
When Tunan saw the person coming, he immediately felt happy and quickly stood up and saluted respectfully:
"Sir... you... why are you here!" His voice was trembling. The last time he fought in the Green Smoke Settlement... those terrifying existences were defeated by Lin Mo... He finally recognized the latter...
strength.
Every time he recalled the scene at that time, he couldn't help but feel excited!
That is a truly unstoppable and powerful force!
"I came to you to understand the situation of the Ancient Flesh Tree and to take a look at how things are being handled here." Lin Mo said calmly.
Speaking of this, he turned his eyes and scanned everyone present one by one.
"I... agree." At this time, the hidden weapon master known as Feiyun Poyue suddenly spoke tenderly.
"I agree too." The next person to speak was Qianke Songren Mo Jue, who was accustomed to wielding nine knots.
"I also agree."
"I agree!"
…
Soon, a chain reaction occurred, and everyone who had been silent now started to speak out.
Lin Mo nodded slightly, and finally his eyes fell on Tu Nan's subordinate Duan Wuyi.
The latter's pupils shrank, completely condensing into purple-red skin, and he suddenly felt a pain like a needle prick.
Bloody Hands... Sir?
Is this the person behind this so-called photo studio?
Duan Wuyi's expression changed quickly, with a strong flattering smile on his face: "I...I also agree. I just wanted to clarify more details, so my words were a bit excessive, I hope you can forgive me!
To put it bluntly, in today's world, it would be great for someone to stand up..."
There is someone behind him, and the other party does have powerful force, but it is not his.
Therefore, he dared to bet that Tunan would not kill him, but he did not dare to bet that the latter's boss would not easily kill him.
Lin Mo nodded, stopped talking, and just walked out.
Tunan turned his head towards Wen Qing, Mo Jue and others smiled, and then quickly followed.
A dozen people from the Mafia Tower outside the building crowded into the third floor like a tide.
In the settlement, three or four out of ten shops on both sides of the street were not open.
There are very few on the road, and even if there are, they are all in a hurry.
Many of the surrounding stone and wooden houses were covered with white silk, and faint cries could be heard from the closed doors.
Dark red blood stains and a faint smell of blood can also be seen on the bluestone-paved avenue.
Tunan and Lin Mo walked together on the widest road in the settlement.
Most of the people who occasionally passed by would greet Tunan respectfully, but their behavior was extremely stiff, and one could see the fear and discomfort in their hearts.
"You seem to still have some difficulties here." Lin Mo suddenly said.
Tunan followed suit, and Hou stood aside. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, then touched his head and smiled bitterly.
"Once the array is broken, the so-called neighborhood committees in major settlements will lose the necessity of their existence. It is still easy to do things by using tricks and showing off their strength.
It’s just that adults should also know that although the hidden forces in the mountains suffered heavy losses in this huge beast wave, they are still there after all.
Therefore, although some of the forces they support are not as arrogant as before and are making concessions, they are still tough and will not give in when the bottom line is involved."
Lin Mo nodded slightly. Regarding the formation device, even if there was no beast tide, he actually planned to destroy it artificially.
After all, as long as the fog is still there, the control of the settlement will be in the hands of those forces, making it difficult for outside forces to get involved.
As for those hidden forces, they are related to the terrifying forces on the surface of Yizhou. They also have many masters, and because of the local snakes, they naturally have the capital to be arrogant.
At that time, the reason why he asked Tunan to lead people to boil frogs in warm water was because he was worried about this aspect.
Just now...
"In the Tai'a Mountains, there are four hidden forces, namely the Tushan Lu clan, the Yaowang Valley, the Fengling Sect, and the Yueying Sect. These four hidden clans are comparable to the five sects and seven sects in Yizhou.
Big family, big power,
When the realm appeared and the Tai'a Mountains expanded, they lived here for a long time, and there were great sage-level warriors sitting here.
Behind the Bafang people in the Wisteria settlement is the Yueying Sect. After the Yueying Sect, there are vaguely the three major families in Yizhou, the Yin clan who is known as the Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes..." Tunan explained quickly.
"It's okay. Don't be too harsh on those who are willing to cooperate with us. As for some thorns, just clean them up. Solve them early and relax early, and you can also scare the chickens and monkeys."
Lin Mo said softly, not caring about these four hidden forces.
Now that he has broken through to the level of the Great Sage, condensed the Dharma-Phase Chiming State, and reached the Chao Chiming state, the only people who can really catch his eye in Yizhou are those forces and those people.
As for the latter, there are at most a few Five Dynasties Great Sages who are not qualified to compete with him.
"Is there any news about the Ancient Flesh Tree?" he asked next.
"I have a clue. I found it half a month ago, but I'm not sure. I've been checking it all this time and am preparing to report it to you." Tunan nodded and responded aloud.
"How do you say it?" Lin Mo became interested and his steps were slightly hesitant.
"Half a month ago, in a mountainous area of the Tai'a Mountains close to Chongbei Road, someone discovered that a strange valley appeared. All the big trees, regardless of species, bore a strange fruit.
Ordinary people can strengthen their qi and blood by taking it, and the same is true for mountain beasts and exotic beasts, so that there are so many beasts around them that warriors cannot enter.
That hunter was lucky enough to get one, and according to what he said, there was a big bloody tree in that valley with lots of red fruits on it."
"The strange fruit... attracted the beasts to gather on the Chongbei Road." Lin Mo thought thoughtfully, "Where is that person?" he continued to ask.
"He died. After getting the fruit, he was suddenly exposed and was attacked by a group of beasts. After escaping back, he had lost most of his life. Finally, he came to us to sell information in exchange for life-saving things.
I exchanged a life-saving elixir, but I only survived for more than ten days and still died." Tunan shook his head and sighed,
"However, a rough map of Kantu has been left behind. Recently, my subordinates have sent several groups of people to search for it. The people in charge of this matter now are Blood Snake and Iron Eagle.
Tie Ying is recuperating here now, I will take the adults there."
"Recuperate? Injured again?" Lin Mo frowned.
"The previous injury has not fully healed yet..." Tunan explained.
