Chapter 186 Track down the person behind the scenes
Looking at the two people walking from a distance, Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled, "Why did you come out so quickly? I haven't had enough fun yet."
Not enough fun?
The "Five Red North Tigers" headed by the scarred man "Wang Dahu" were completely stunned when they heard Duan Lingtian's words, and an ominous premonition arose in their hearts.
They all turned their heads and looked towards where the sound came from.
There, two middle-aged men were coming side by side.
On the bodies of two middle-aged men, there are phantoms of a thousand ancient giant elephants condensed into shape...
A total of two thousand ancient giant elephants came rushing towards us!
"Yuan...seventh level of Nascent Soul Realm!"
Wang Dahu's pupils shrank, his face was filled with fear, and his legs trembled.
His other four brothers were also similar. They all looked pale and did not even dare to think of escaping...
What a joke!
In front of the seventh-level Nascent Soul Realm warriors, just a few of them had no chance of escaping.
Now, I just hope that the boy in purple can forgive them.
"Plop!"
"Plop!"
…
Under the leadership of Wang Dahu, the five people knelt down directly around Duan Lingtian, shrugging their heads like eggplants beaten by frost.
Snap!
Wang Dahu raised his hand and gave himself a slap. He begged for mercy in a trembling voice: "Young Master... we are blind and have offended you. You, sir, have a lot of us. Just treat us as nothings and spare our lives."
Now, he finally realized that this boy was just teasing them.
While he was almost frightened, a bit of anger seemed to rise in his heart!
This anger is naturally directed at the person who paid for the murder...
If they knew that there were two Nascent Soul Realm seventh-level warriors around this target, they would not dare to come even if they were given ten million taels of silver, let alone two hundred thousand taels of silver!
Although money is tempting, life is more important.
Duan Lingtian was also shocked by the actions of the five people. He didn't expect them to be so straightforward...
"Aren't you one of the 'Five Red Northern Tigers'? Can you have some backbone?"
Duan Lingtian glanced at Wang Dahu and smiled faintly.
"Master, in front of you, we can only be regarded as the 'Five Cats of Chibei'..."
Wang Dahu had a mournful face and said with a wry smile, now, he only hopes that the young man in purple in front of him can spare the lives of his brothers.
"The Five Chibei Cats? This is suitable for you."
Zhang Qian stood beside Duan Lingtian and couldn't help but feel happy.
"Five Chibei cats, call twice and listen."
Zhao Gang also smiled, his calm eyes falling on Wang Dahu and the other five.
"Meow!"
Wang Dahu's face turned red. Although he felt humiliated, when he thought that his life was in the opponent's hands, he could only lower his head and scream.
"Meow!"
"Meow!"
…
The other four people also shouted, their bodies kneeling on the ground trembling.
They knew in their hearts that as long as the young man gave an order, their heads would be gone.
Duan Lingtian frowned, seeing the cowardice of Wang Dahu and the other five, he was not even interested in teaching them a lesson, "I can spare your lives, but you must tell me who paid for my life... But you don't know that you want to
Are you going to act like a tough guy and continue to abide by your so-called rules on the road, or will it cost you your own life?"
"It's fatal, it's fatal!"
When Wang Dahu and the other five heard that they had a chance to survive, their eyes lit up and they all spoke in unison.
"What, you don't follow the rules now?"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Duan Lingtian's mouth.
Wang Dahu and the other five smiled bitterly. Their lives were hanging by a thread, so why bother talking about the rules? Breaking the rules was not as important as their lives.
"Tell me, who will pay for my life?"
Duan Lingtian asked calmly.
"Hammer seven."
Wang Dahu said honestly.
"Hautou Qi? Do you know who he is?"
Duan Lingtian frowned.
"I know...he is a big gangster from the outer city of the Imperial City."
Wang Dahu nodded quickly.
"Let's go, take me to find him!"
Duan Lingtian looked at the sky. At this time, the city gate from the inner city to the big city should have just opened. After finishing the matter, he should have time to rush back.
Imperial City, Outer City.
Duan Lingtian was sitting in a guest room of an inn, drinking tea leisurely.
In addition to Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang standing behind him, Wang Dahu also stood respectfully to the side with an uneasy look on his face.
"Wang Dahu, didn't you say that Hammer Seven is nearby? It's been more than ten minutes and your four brothers haven't come back yet. They won't leave you alone, right?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Wang Dahu, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Don't worry, young master, we are the Five Red Northern Tigers..."
As soon as Wang Dahu opened his mouth, he noticed that Duan Lingtian's gaze became sharp, and he quickly changed his words, "No, it's the 'Five Chibei Cats'... We, the Five Chibei Cats, are famous for our loyalty. Young Master, you can rest assured."
"I hope it's as you said."
Duan Lingtian glanced at Wang Dahu with indifferent eyes and continued to lower his head and drink tea.
A cup of tea was finished quickly.
Just then.
"Zhang Qian, go and open the door."
Duan Lingtian raised his eyebrows and suddenly spoke.
Although Zhang Qian was a little strange, he still went to open the door.
At this time, he heard footsteps coming from outside, but it was the other four members of the Red North Five Tigers who came back carrying a sack.
There was obviously a person inside the sack, making a "whimpering" sound and struggling constantly.
After everyone came in, Zhang Qian closed the door and looked at the young man in purple who was sitting there with a calm expression, and was shocked.
The soundproofing effect of this inn was excellent. He didn't notice at all that four of the Five Chibei Tigers had returned. How did the young master know?
Not only Zhang Qian, but even Zhao Gang couldn't help but shrink his pupils now.
Both of them realized that they still had a lot to learn from this young master...
"Master, I've brought you here."
The other four members of the Chibei Five Tigers threw the sacks to the ground, and screams of "woo woo" came from the sacks, and then the four people opened the sacks again.
A young man who was tied up with five flowers appeared in front of Duan Lingtian. A ball of cloth was stuffed in the young man's mouth. Now he was yelling angrily and glaring at the "Five Red Northern Tigers"...
"If you dare to make any more noise, I won't mind scratching your throat."
As soon as Duan Lingtian stretched out his hand, the Ziwei soft sword turned into a purple lightning and landed on the young man's neck, making the young man tremble in fear and quickly shut his mouth.
Only then did he start to look at the young man in front of him.
Buzz!
The crape myrtle soft sword in Duan Lingtian's hand shook, and he opened the cloth on the young man's mouth.
Even though the ball of cloth was gone, the young man still kept his mouth shut, not daring to make even a single sound. The sword placed on his neck was no joke.
Duan Lingtian stared at the young man and said calmly, "You should be 'Haitou Qi'... Tell me, who asked you to pay to kill me?"
Lang Tou Qi's expression changed, "You...are you Duan Lingtian?"
Snap!
Zhang Qian moved, raised his hand and slapped Hammer Qiyi, with a cold voice, "How can you call the young master's name?"
"Yes, Master, Master."
Lang Tou Qi was stunned and nodded quickly, not daring to hesitate.
The name 'Duan Lingtian' has been spreading a lot in the Imperial City recently. As long as there are few people in the Imperial City who don't know about Duan Lingtian, he naturally knows it too.
Therefore, even if someone came to him and asked him to pay to kill Duan Lingtian, he would not dare to do it openly.
He had no choice but to find a few "silly young men" who had just arrived in the Imperial City and had not heard of Duan Lingtian, and hired them to kill him... He thought things would go smoothly, but now it seemed that it was completely different from what he had imagined.
He regrets it now. If he had known better, he would not have hired these unreliable guys for cheap!
What about the ‘Five Red Northern Tigers’!
His reputation sounded quite high, but he ended up being taken over by others.
"Let me ask you, who asked you to pay to kill me?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes were sharp and his voice was cold, as if coming from an ice cave...
"Master, I can't say it...if I say it, I will die."
Lang Tou Qi turned pale and smiled bitterly.
"Believe it or not, I can kill you right now!"
As soon as Duan Lingtian raised his hand, Ziwei's soft sword swiped, and with a sound, one of Hammer Seven's eyebrows was shaved off...
Lang Tou Qi's expression changed, and he said in a panic: "Master, I'll tell you! I'll tell you!"
"Tell me who it is."
Although Duan Lingtian's tone was calm, it was mixed with overwhelming anger. He wanted to know who wanted to kill him!
No matter who it is, he will not make it easy for the other party...
"It's 'Hong Ji', young master, it's Hong Ji. He gave me three million taels of silver and asked me to find some people with clean hands and feet to deal with you."
Bang Tou Qi said quickly.
"Three million taels?"
The faces of Wang Dahu and the other four Chibei Five Tigers changed and they glared at Hammer Qi.
If Duan Lingtian hadn't been there, they might have rushed up and killed Hammer Qi immediately...
This Hammer Seven took three million taels from others and only gave them two hundred thousand taels?
They almost lost their lives!
"Hong Ji?"
Duan Lingtian frowned, feeling that things seemed to be getting more and more complicated.
"Young Master, I have heard of this 'Hong Ji'. He is a 'local tyrant' from a city outside the imperial city... It is said that he has some relationship with the patriarch of the Xiao family."
Zhao Gang seemed to have remembered something and said slowly.
Duan Lingtian nodded, his cold eyes fell on Hammer Qi again, and he said calmly: "Take out those three million taels of silver notes."
"Yes, yes... Young Master, I only have 2.8 million taels here, and there are still 200,000 taels in their hands."
Bang Tou Qi honestly took out a large stack of banknotes from his arms and did not forget to look at Wang Dahu and the others.
Wang Dahu glared at Hammer Qi, and without hesitation, he honestly took out the two hundred thousand taels of silver notes.
"Wang Dahu."
Duan Lingtian suddenly spoke.
"Master, I'm here."
Wang Dahu stood one step forward, extremely respectful.
"Do it and deal with it!"
Duan Lingtian's voice was so calm that it made Lang Touqi's face change greatly.
Unfortunately, before he had time to beg for mercy, Wang Dahu punched his head open...
Above Wang Dahu's head, a hundred ancient giant elephants condensed into phantoms.
The seventh level of Yuan Dan Realm!
A trace of pleasure flashed in Wang Dahu's eyes, and he looked at Duan Lingtian with a grateful look on his face, "Thank you, Master, for letting the five of us brothers vent their anger."
