In fact, the competition between the major sects is not over yet. Next is the competition between the Tongtian Sword Sect and several other major sects, but Lu Chen is too lazy to pay attention. The top priority is to solve the scourge of Liu Qi.
Near the Nebula Sect's mine, Jiang Tie is recuperating in a tent, Tang Xiuyi has returned to the sect and has her own tasks, and Liu Qi is arranging work in various mining areas.
At this time, suddenly an elite disciple ran to Liu Qi and whispered: "Master, there is news from Zhangyuan Inn, saying that two guests have invited you to come."
This elite disciple is Wu Yuan, Liu Qi's direct disciple.
Liu Qi's face lit up and he said: "Long Mu and Long Heng, those two guys finally showed up. We agreed to meet every ten days, but those two guys didn't show up for a month, and they didn't convey any news."
"Maybe they had something urgent and didn't have time to notify you."
Wu Yuan smiled.
Liu Qi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go over there right now, and you can bring five hundred kilograms of black iron essence with you."
"If this deal is completed, we will be able to earn 1.5 billion crystal stones at once. There will be no shortage of crystal stones in the entire Qinglong Hall."
Wu Yuan said.
"Now the main reason is that Lu Chen's influence is too great. This time Lu Chen is in the limelight, the Elders Council will definitely appoint him as the successor of the sect leader. If our Qinglong Hall does not improve its strength immediately, I am afraid it will be a trouble in the future."
Liu Qi said, "But this time I have obtained so much Xuantie Essence, purchased a large amount of Xiantian Pills, and even bought a lot of Xuanmen Golden Pills. The overall strength of Qinglongtang can be greatly increased, so I won't be afraid of Lu Chen."
"However, to truly defeat Lu Chen, there must be a master who can defeat him. Otherwise, if the sect master dies in the future and Lu Chen succeeds as the sect master, will our Qinglong Hall still be able to survive?"
Wu Yuan asked.
Liu Qi's expression was gloomy and he said: "Don't worry about this. Although Nangong Shenyu lost, it may not have a chance to make a comeback."
"However, Senior Brother Nangong clearly made a bet with Lu Chen that he would no longer participate in the fight for the position of the sect leader's successor."
Wu Yuan said.
"That being said, who knows if there will be any surprises?
What's more, the Nangong Family still has a trump card. In short, the Nangong Family is still the most powerful now. We are definitely right to rely on the Nangong Family. Lu Chen is only in glory for a while, and he won't be able to stay around for long."
Liu Qi said.
"Master, why don't you ask the masters from the Beiliu Sect to assassinate Lu Chen? Wouldn't this be the end of the matter?"
Wu Yuan said.
Liu Qi said: "What do you know?
It is very difficult to assassinate Lu Chen now.
Although Lu Chen is young, he is very vigilant. According to Hall Master Nangong, even if the hall master himself takes action, he cannot approach Chen Lu quietly. If he cannot make a sneak attack, I am afraid no one can kill him.
Because Huang Zhengqi gave him two Wuji talismans, if he wanted to run away, no one else could do anything about it.
We only found out about this matter recently.
To put it bluntly, once Lu Chen dies, will everyone suspect that the Nangong family is responsible?
After what happened this time, Lu Chen’s influence is too great to act rashly.”
Wu Yuan nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
"If you want to deal with Lu Chen, now it's best to use an upright method. Defeat him openly and obliterate his prestige and influence. That's the best way."
Liu Qi then said, "Don't worry about it now, let's go to Zhangyuan Inn first."
Liu Qi and Wu Yuan arranged some things and then headed to the inn in the town.
Liu Qi planned to make the final deal with Longmu this time. After this, the two parties did not have many opportunities. After all, after Huang Zhengqi and Lu Chen took charge of the black iron mine here, there was no way he would have the chance to collect the black iron essence as his own.
So this time he originally planned to meet Long Mu in person.
Half an hour later, Liu Qi and Wu Yuan arrived at Zhangyuan Inn. As soon as they entered the restaurant, a waiter came up to them and said with a smile: "Two guests, please take a seat."
Wu Yuan is a frequent visitor here, and he is not stingy with spending money. In addition, this inn is small to begin with, so having such a big customer, of course, requires special care.
Wu Yuan nodded and said straight to the point: "Where are the two guests you are talking about?"
"It's upstairs. I'll take you two up."
The store clerk said quickly.
Liu Qi and Wu Yuan were led by the store clerk to the second floor. The second floor was very deserted, with only one table occupied. However, the business on the first floor was not much better.
Liu Qi was thinking about how to negotiate with Long Mu so that he could continue to raise the price of the Black Iron Essence, but suddenly he saw the two people drinking and eating in front of him. The expressions on their faces suddenly looked like they had eaten a fly, and their expressions were extremely ugly.
There was also a bad omen in my heart.
"Elder Liu, what a coincidence that you are also interested in coming to dinner. Come on, come on. There are two seats here. Come over and eat together and discuss some things."
Huang Zhengqi said with a smile.
Then he waved his hand and signaled the store clerk to leave.
The shopkeeper felt strange. Didn't these two guests invite them over?
He didn't know what it was like that they met by chance, but anyway, these guests were very generous with their actions. They would tip dozens of crystal stones to convey a message, so he wouldn't ask so much.
After the shop assistant went down, Liu Qi said coldly: "It turns out it's you two. There's no need to eat. I just don't feel like it today. Let's do it next time."
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
As soon as Liu Qi turned around, he noticed that a figure flashed in front of him, and a man in purple stopped in front of him. It was Huang Zhengqi.
"Why, you are in such a hurry to leave, you don't look like you are in a hurry?"
Huang Zhengqi smiled lightly.
When Liu Qi saw Huang Zhengqi's smile, he had a very dangerous thought in his heart. He said angrily: "Elder Huang, you have no right to stop me. I can leave whenever I want."
"I don't have this power, but I am going to challenge the rules today. You can just go back to the sect and sue me."
Huang Zhengqi said.
Liu Qi is an elder of the inner sect. Although his status in the sect is very different from that of Huang Zhengqi, nominally his status is only half a level lower than Huang Zhengqi, the master of the Alchemy Pavilion. He is also affiliated with Qinglong Hall. Apart from Nangong Lingxiao, he is the only sect leader.
, the Presbyterian Council has the qualifications to order him, Huang Zhengqi does not have such qualifications.
But now, Liu Qi's sense of crisis is getting heavier and heavier. He understands that Huang Zhengqi will definitely not let him go easily. This matter may be very troublesome. He secretly signaled to Wu Yuan next to him. Wu Yuan understood and quietly retreated step by step.
Leaving, wanting to leave.
But Huang Zhengqi suddenly said: "What is this kid's name?
Sit down too."
Wu Yuan's expression changed. Huang Zhengqi didn't make any move or show any momentum, but with just such a word, he didn't dare to move anymore. He naturally knew that even Liu Qi wouldn't want to leave easily today, and he was even more reluctant to do so.
It's possible.
Originally, he hoped that Huang Zhengqi would not pay attention to him, after all, he was just a small elite disciple, but he was disappointed.
Liu Qi said angrily: "Elder Huang, what exactly do you want to do?
If you have something to say, just say it and don't use such boring tactics."
Huang Zhengqi said with a serious face: "Since Elder Liu doesn't want to sit down and talk, let's get straight to the point. I heard Lu Chen say that you embezzled a lot of black iron essence. Is this true?"
Liu Qi was furious and shouted: "Lu Chen, you know how to slander. You are really a villain. You dare to say such nonsense without any evidence. I will definitely refer you to the Presbyterian Council when I get back."
"You pretend to be quite the same. I almost thought I had wronged you."
Lu Chen stood up and walked to Liu Qi.
“Who doesn’t know how to talk nonsense?
I can also say that you embezzled all the Xuantie Mine, okay?"
Liu Qi's expression remained unchanged.
Lu Chen said: "Tell me, why are there only a few kilograms of dark iron essence in the mining area's account books? Could it be that they have all flown away?"
"Do you think black iron essence is so easy to mine?
Where have you been this month?
Didn’t the Presbyterian Council agree to put you in charge of this iron mine?”
Liu Qi looked eloquent.
"Okay, no need to talk nonsense. Let me search you first. If you don't find anything, I will accuse you unjustly."
Lu Chen smiled.
Liu Qi couldn't help but take a step back. He had just discovered the second level of cultivation. After seeing Lu Chen's strength, he knew that there was no possibility of escaping in front of Lu Chen. What's more, Huang Zhengqi was still here. He sneered: "I am from the sect.
Elders of the Inner Sect, did you search my body with the consent of the Council of Elders?"
"Cut the nonsense."
Lu Chen suddenly grabbed it with his claws.
Liu Qi was shocked. He didn't expect Lu Chen to really dare to take action. He could only retreat and shout: "Elder Huang, as the master of the Alchemy Pavilion, you are openly dealing with the elders of the sect. Be careful when the Nangong Hall Master comes to the elders' meeting."
Impeach you."
Huang Zhengqi smiled and said: "Let's talk about it then. You'd better think about what to do with yourself first. I suggest you don't resist. If I do it myself, you will be even more unsightly."
Liu Qi was shocked. Even Huang Zhengqi spoke like this. It seemed that he was doomed today. He felt bitter in his heart. He turned around and wanted to run away, but Lu Chen didn't allow him to escape. He slapped Liu Qi on the back and beat Liu Qi like a dog.
Chew mud.
Lu Chen walked up and instantly sealed Liu Qi's eight extraordinary meridians.
Liu Qi's face was livid, but now that he was in Lu Chen's hands, it was impossible to resist. He had no choice but to admit defeat for what happened today and go back, hoping that Nangong Lingxiao could help and say a few words.
Lu Chen quickly searched Liu Qi and Wu Yuan thoroughly, and found a total of five hundred kilograms of black iron essence from the two people. In addition to the black iron essence, there were also a large number of pill crystals. The quantity was huge. Just these
The number of elixir crystals totals no less than one billion.
Those five hundred kilograms of dark iron essence are worth more than one billion, which can buy countless pills and train many elite disciples.
You must know that crystals and elixirs are the foundation of a sect. Without resources, even with the guidance of a skilled master, it is difficult to improve one's cultivation. And Liu Qi has so many resources, which are at least worth two years of the entire Nebula Sect.
consumption.
"Liu Qi, what else do you have to say?"
Huang Zhengqi was shocked when he saw so many black iron essences and crystal elixirs. Although he believed that Liu Qi must have embezzled a lot, he never expected that Liu Qi would frantically mine so much black iron essence in just one month.
Liu Qi's face was ashen and he said: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If you win, what else can I say?"
