After running for almost seven or eight miles in the rain, the ninth-level spirit immortal finally stopped and said, "We're here."
At this moment, everyone has left the market, and the place they are in is a hilly area, with hills hundreds of meters high everywhere.
Chen Taizhong opened his Celestial Eye Technique and took a look, and couldn't help but chuckle, "What a huge battle."
"Why are you laughing?" Two lighting beads appeared in front of them, held in the hands of two immortals. Between them was a handsome man, looking at him with an unhappy expression.
The rain wasn't too heavy, and you could see each other's face clearly even if you looked straight at him. Chen Taizhong's Celestial Eye Technique was not in vain. He could tell at a glance that the man was a second-level immortal.
"I'm laughing at myself, what do you do to me?" Chen Taizhong snorted and replied unceremoniously, "Stop talking nonsense, where is Lei Jing?"
"All the Thunder Crystals are in the hands of the Hong family," the handsome man replied slowly, "but there are some Thunder Crystals over there in the West Market. If you are willing to work with me to break through the West Market, all the Thunder Crystals seized will belong to you.
All, what do you think?"
"Destroy the West Market?" Chen Taizhong frowned when he heard this. He didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but this did not prevent him from feeling unhappy. "Then you don't have Thunder Crystal?"
"Your Majesty, please be patient." The handsome man frowned, feeling very unhappy. However, considering that the other party might have just come to Qudao City, he decided to explain, "Xishi City has always been obedient to the Hong family, unlike
Here in Dongshi, we have always been under the orders of the Hong family."
It turns out that Qudao City has a large market outside the east gate and another outside the west gate. Both sides are engaged in trade, and the nature and target of their services are very similar.
So it goes without saying that the relationship between the two is always at odds with each other.
This handsome man is the boss behind the East Market. When he heard that an immortal was interested in acquiring Lei Jing, he was moved - if he could find an outside force from an immortal to clean up the West Market, it wouldn't be too easy.
Ordinarily, with his status as an immortal, managing a small market would feel a bit like "immortals are worse than dogs. Immortals are everywhere", but in fact it is not the case. The daily transaction volume here in Qudao City is huge, and the interests involved are huge.
There are so many. It’s really hard to control such a situation without a god.
Strictly speaking, he, a second-level immortal, is just a handyman, and there are people behind him.
What he said made sense, but Chen Taizhong just wanted to laugh, "I don't want to know about your Qudao City affairs, so I'm just asking you... do you have jade crystals with thunder attributes? Don't talk to me about those that do or don't.
"
When the handsome man heard this, he became more and more annoyed. However, he could manage such a large market. He was not just a reckless person, so he asked calmly, "Can you explain the origin?"
Chen Taizhong snorted and did not answer, but Qiao Rennu spoke up, "Rogue cultivator!"
"Rogue cultivator?" The handsome man narrowed his eyes. Then he grinned, "Then I will inform you now... you have been recruited!"
"I'm asking you if you have thunder crystals!" Chen Taizhong frowned and spoke calmly and powerfully, "As for recruiting me, you are still a little short of it, so don't make trouble for yourself."
"If I can't keep you, why can't I keep them?" The handsome man glanced at the two girls with a grim smile. In a battle between immortals of the same level, it is easy to win or lose, but it is difficult to keep them. However, since the other party is not a drag, he can guarantee that
It is not easy to escape alone.
So his voice became cold and stern, "It's not just the two of them... you have offended the Hong family. Even though Western Xinjiang is huge, you have nowhere to hide!"
"You want to keep us two?" Qiao Rennv said in astonishment, and then laughed like a silver bell, "Haha, you can also attack two weak women without cultivation?"
"Do it!" The handsome man gave the order without hesitation. After he finished speaking, he had a vague feeling: There seemed to be something wrong?
The next moment, he realized: something was wrong. These two women didn't look scared at all.
But at this time, it was too late to say anything. He shook his hand and presented a jagged disk, alertly guarding the opponent and ready to take action at any time.
However, even though he was prepared, he did not expect that the four immortals who rushed towards him were knocked to the ground by two weak women in the blink of an eye, vomiting blood and unable to move.
When the two women started fighting, a trace of their aura inevitably leaked out, and the handsome man was so frightened that his hair stood up - Gosh, these are two immortals again!
Without saying a word, he threw the disc hard at the black-faced man, and turned around and ran away: On such a dark rainy night, I hope I can escape safely.
Unexpectedly, he didn't run for more than two steps when he heard a loud noise, his Dantian trembled suddenly, and a mouthful of blood couldn't help but spurt out.
It was broken, and he was in big trouble. He knew very well in his heart: the disc he had used for sacrifice was destroyed!
Immediately afterwards, he felt his body stiffen and his vision went dark. Before he fell into coma, a thought flashed through his mind: The jade-toothed saw that can destroy me is definitely not a first-level immortal...
When he woke up again, he was in a forest. In front of him was the black-faced young man, sitting under a big umbrella. A lighting bead under the umbrella gave off a misty light.
The black-faced young man was sitting on a chair, with a high-top table next to him. He was drinking tea leisurely, and beside him stood a woman in white, pouring tea for him.
Another woman stood there proudly with her hands behind her back, looking at him indifferently and saying nothing.
This person felt his own condition and found that he was completely uncontrolled. Except for some sluggishness in his energy and blood, he was still the second-level immortal, and the other party did not use any means against him at all.
After he got used to the light in front of him, he looked around and found that his other six companions were lying unconscious in the muddy water, and some of them had blood dripping from the corners of their mouths.
The other party didn't impose a ban, but he didn't dare to move. The reason is there: Why didn't they impose a ban? Because they were not afraid of him running away!
At this time, if he didn't know that he hit the iron plate, his hundreds of years would have been in vain.
So he stopped talking and just sat there silently, waiting for the other party's verdict.
However, the other party didn't say anything. Those who drank tea drank tea, those who poured water poured water, and those who stood watching just stood there.
The rain hitting the leaves made a rustling sound, adding a bit of desolation and weirdness to the silent rainy night.
After a long time, the handsome man realized that he could not escape this test, so he raised his hand to wipe the rain from his face and said in a difficult voice, "My brother is blind and has offended you. Please forgive me."
Chen Taizhong and Yan Xiaomeng didn't even turn their heads, but Qiao Rennv clasped her hands behind her back and spoke coldly, "I'm very curious. If my sister is caught by you because she is uncultivated...wait for the meeting between the two of us.
What is it?"
At this time, Yan Xiaomeng put down the teapot in his hand, picked up a cup of tea and sipped lightly, snorting softly from his nose, "Those who don't speak what they mean... will be punished!"
The handsome man was at a loss for words. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said, "What you are waiting for...are all ants under the gods, so what else can you say?"
"You are a little fairy, you are nothing more than an ant," Qiao Rennv smiled disdainfully, "What is the crime for offending a superior?"
"Excuse me, Master." The handsome man raised his hands and cupped his fists, bowing constantly, his body trembling slightly, "I thought the Master was a casual cultivator, but I had the wrong idea, and I am willing to encourage the Master."
At this time, he couldn't believe what the other party said about casual cultivators. What a joke. Three immortals walking together. How can there be such awesome casual cultivators? This is not the path of casual cultivators at all, okay?
Two of the immortals were very respectful to the other one, which meant that the other one was at least a middle-level immortal, not the first-level immortal he thought at first.
With such fighting power, let alone him, after several visits to Zhangzhou, except for the master in charge and Qingyun Temple, no one could afford to offend him - even the county governor's mansion would be troublesome.
"I'm just a casual cultivator. Just do it." Qiao Rennu snorted disdainfully, "Don't worry about what backers we have."
Lan Xiang really doesn't have a backer, and the Baituomen don't particularly like Lan Xiang. Currently, the only one who can be called a backer is Dongyi Mingkeqing.
The handsome man stared at her blankly for a long time before he suddenly realized and said, "It turns out you were invited by the West City."
"This imagination is so big... it's spectacular," Chen Taizhong couldn't help but mutter.
"Let Nuyue put the slave mark on him. A second-level immortal is better than nothing," Yan Xiaomeng said.
"Excuse me, you three," said the Yingting man anxiously, "We have something to discuss. I am working for the Hong family."
"Hong family, what is that?" Qiao Rennu snorted disdainfully, "I have placed a ban on you. Call the Hong family here. I am going to find them and want an explanation!"
"You three don't have to do this, right?" When the handsome man heard that these three people didn't even look down on the Hong family, he felt even more regretful and could only suggest cautiously.
"Ant, is it your turn to speak here?" Chen Taizhong raised his hand, and a teacup exploded in the opponent's face, "Kneel down!"
The handsome man hesitated for a moment, then stood up and slowly knelt down reluctantly. At this time, the situation was stronger than the others. If he kept nagging, they could really kill him.
However, even though he knelt down, he still said with difficulty, "I hope you will show some dignity."
"If we are commandeered by you, where will our dignity be? Spare your life, you talk too much," Qiao Rennv walked forward with her hands behind her back and spoke slowly.
She also interacted with the outside world a lot. She looked the other person up and down and made a decisive decision, "After taking the slave mark, you should inform the Hong family as soon as possible. This offense cannot be forgotten like this!"
The three of them were worried about not being able to contact Tianleihong's family, and the other party gave her such a good excuse. She didn't even need to ask Dongshangren for instructions before she said this.
However, as soon as these words came out of his mouth, the handsome man's face became extremely bitter. It took him a long time to reply in a low voice, "I...actually just follow the banner of the Hong family."
"Huh?" Qiao Rennv's face sank when she heard this, "Yuanfeng...are you pretending to be a tiger?" So she raised her hand, pulled out a long knife, and spoke coldly, "Give me a reason not to kill you.
