Chapter 432: Visiting the City Lord’s Mansion at Night
"Oh, I remember it used to belong to the Wang family?"
"That was a few months ago. Now, it belongs to the city lord Li family."
Perhaps for the sake of gold, the second brother said a few more words.
It turned out that after Wang Xuan left, the Li family took the lead in suppressing various families in the city.
Naturally, other families headed by the Wang family were unwilling to be suppressed and swallowed up by the Li family, and formed an alliance to fight against the Li family.
However, within just a few days, the alliance fell apart and was disbanded.
The reason is that the Li family has received support from several masters of the Spirit Gathering Realm.
You must know that there are only two masters in the Spirit Gathering Realm in the entire Xuanyang City. One is the previous patriarch of the Wang family, Wang Zhiyuan, who is also Wang Xuan's grandfather, and the other is the previous city lord, Li Qianyang of the Li family.
After the alliance was forced to disband, the Wang family received key care.
The current patriarch, Wang Yingxiong, Wang Xuan's uncle, did nothing but gave in and lost most of his property.
From then on, the Li family was the only one in Xuanyang City.
"Sir, you eat first, I have something else to do."
Seeing his younger brother leaving, Wang Xuan fell into deep thought.
As expected, the Li family seized the opportunity and tried their best to expand, making the Wang family unable to hold their head high.
Besides, this is also related to his weak uncle. The leader of a clan can be ruthless to his own clansmen, but he will be soft when encountering foreign enemies. He is a typical character who is a man in the family.
Shaking his head, he ate first as a token of respect and prepared to do some research at night to see what the situation was.
It's still early, so I'll go to a room and take a rest first.
The night gradually opened, and there were not many people on the street. With a thought, Wang Xuan, dressed in night clothes, went out.
"Not much has changed here."
With a murmur, he stretched out his figure and flew towards the depths of the city lord's palace.
I have been here many times before and many of the furnishings inside have remained the same.
Hiding into the darkness, feeling the surrounding atmosphere, he raised his brows, and with a breath, Wang Xuan came to a side hall.
If he hadn't sensed it wrong, there should be five people in the room, four of whom were at the Spirit Gathering Realm, one was at the second level, two were at the third level, and one was at the fourth level. As for the fifth person, he was only at the Qi Condensation Realm. Just the environment.
Close to the window, the voices inside could be heard clearly.
"Mr. Li, the three of us brothers have conquered the world for you. It's unreasonable not to pay some compensation. Besides, it's been delayed for so long, and the interest cannot be less."
"Humph, Liu Jiran, my Li family has already paid three thousand spirit stones in the past few months, and now you still ask me for it, isn't it a bit excessive?"
"You can't say that. You see, in the entire Xuanyang City, the profitable businesses are monopolized by your Li family. We brothers should contribute to this, and I think it's reasonable to ask for compensation."
Wang Xuan, who was outside, had a look of surprise on his face after hearing this.
It seems that the Li family must have lured the wolf into the house. As the saying goes, it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away. I just don't know the background of these three people.
"Qingyao is following Master Liu, no matter what. If you do this, if it reaches the ears of Master Liu, I'm afraid..."
Before he finished speaking, anyone with a discerning eye knew the threat contained in it.
"Hahaha, old man, it turns out that this is where you can rely. It really made me laugh to death."
Upon hearing the threat, not only was the other person not afraid, but he laughed sarcastically.
"Let me tell you the truth, Li Qingyao? She is just the young master's plaything. Do you really think she has the weight to speak? It is simply a joke."
"You, don't bully others too much."
"Haha, I just deceived you, what's the matter? But, Lingshi, you can take it easy. I think the city lord's wife has been a little lonely recently, and I would like to have a candlelit night talk with her. I wonder what Old Mrs. Li wants?
Hahaha......"
The three of them laughed wildly, then opened the door and walked out.
With his eyes flickering, Wang Xuan saw clearly how the three of them were dressed. They were all dressed in black, carrying long knives on their backs, and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
The conversation between several people allowed Wang Xuan to understand the origins of the three people.
Sure enough, they were sent by Liu Changqing. It seemed that they had not received the news of Li Qingyao's death. Otherwise, the attitude of the three of them would not be what it is today, and it is very likely that they would act recklessly in the City Lord's Mansion and even Xuanyang City.
"Master, what should we do now? These people are very cruel and ruthless. During this period, many maids in our house have been tortured to death by them."
"Oh, I thought it was a good time for my Li family to develop rapidly, but I didn't expect that when I encountered these three beasts, my Li family was in danger."
"Now they are going to attack Madam. This time we can't bear anything."
The door was open, and you could clearly see the people inside through the crack in the door. The two old men were both acquaintances of Wang Xuan.
One is the old city lord Li Qianyang, and the other is the old housekeeper Li Bo. It seems that the person in the Qi Condensation Realm is Li Bo.
The enemy is too strong, each one of them can crush Li Qianyang, not to mention there are three others, they have no power to resist at all.
"Hey, this old ghost Wang Zhiyuan can't hide now. He obviously saw the signs."
"Yes, our Li family will be responsible for everything. The old family leader Wang is really an old fox."
Seeing the two men sighing, Wang Xuan felt sad for some reason.
In order to please Liu Changqing, the Li family decisively betrayed the Wang family and even the entire Xuanyang City. As a result, they didn't get any good at all, but instead got themselves involved.
He ducked in and the door closed immediately.
"Master Li, it seems like your life is not going well."
"Who are you? How dare you break into the city lord's mansion at night?"
Wang Xuan's sudden appearance shocked the two of them, and Uncle Li, as the housekeeper, scolded them.
With a wave of his right hand, he pushed Uncle Li far away, causing Li Qianyang who was just about to take action to stop abruptly.
"Senior, I must be visiting you late at night for something important. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."
The breath was released and then closed, which made Li Qianyang feel tremendous pressure, and at the same time, it also made him understand that he was definitely no match.
However, it was precisely because of the strength that Wang Xuan showed that he was so happy that he figured out many things in a flash of lightning.
A glance stopped Li Bo who was about to speak, but instead he put a smile on his face and kept his posture very low.
"You said that with my strength, what can I need from you?"
"This junior is a bit mean-spirited in Xuanyang City. If there is any problem that seniors find it inconvenient to come forward, I will definitely help seniors handle it properly."
With such strength, Li Qianyang judged that the other party must be an outsider, and he must have something to ask for when he came to the city lord's mansion late at night.
After taking a deep look at each other, Wang Xuan smiled slightly and uttered a sentence indifferently, which made the two of them feel like they had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Very good, so I have a small request, that is, I want you to commit suicide in front of me. I wonder if you can fulfill this request?"
