The person called Yan Zong was an old man in gray robe with a stooped body.
His face was dark and his body was as thin as wood. He stood quietly in the shadows in the corner of the study room.
Not a single sound was made, and there was no breath fluctuation.
It's like a blurry gray shadow, not noticeable at all.
But his identity is not simple.
He is not only Yuwen Chengkong's number one confidant butler, and also the second most powerful person in the City Lord's Mansion.
A strong man of the fourth level of the Divine Lord.
Hearing Yu Wen Chengkong's murmur, Yan Zong still lowered his head, folded his hands in his robe sleeves, and didn't even raise his eyelids.
"Of course the Qi family will not forget that your hands were stained with blood, and they would not dare to be enemies with the City Lord's Mansion.
But that Qi family worshiper was an outsider, acted arrogantly, and sought death.
With your current status, no matter how angry you are, you can only tolerate it and cannot retaliate openly."
Yu Wen Chengkong nodded slightly and said in a cold and cold tone: "The Qi family worshiper must die! I will personally cut off his head to make a wine cup to comfort my son's spirit in heaven!"
Yan Zong refused to comment and continued: "I just received the news that Qi Tianlong entered the royal capital with the help of Ning Chengfeng and has already expressed his merit to the monarch.
The monarch announced at the court meeting that Qi Tianlong would be granted the title of Viscount.
In terms of title and reputation, he is already equal to you, and you cannot attack the Qi family.
Otherwise, the monarch will be dissatisfied and other nobles will be hurt.
For example, the Ning family."
"Hehehe..." Yu Wen Chengkong grinned and sneered, revealing a row of white teeth.
"Can't deal with the Qi family? I wish I could raze the Qi family to the ground, leaving no chickens or dogs behind!
But this needs to be considered in the long term, and the most urgent task is to get rid of the Qi family worshipers first!"
Yan Zong nodded slightly and said: "It was the appearance of the Qi family that made things evolve to this point.
Before this, the Qi family was not even qualified to compete with the City Lord's Mansion."
Yu Wen Chengkong stopped talking about the matter and lowered his voice and asked: "Has the Black Shark tribe received any reply? Has that ugly black fish monster opened its mouth again?"
Yan Zong nodded and said solemnly: "As you expected, King Black Shark wants 30,000 pearls, 30,000 sets of top-grade god equipment, and 300 million sacred stones!"
A cold light flashed in Yu Wen Chengkong's eyes, and he sneered: "The damn black fish monster is indeed greedy and cunning!
It has calculated that I cannot take action personally, so it dares to ask for such an exorbitant price!
However, it can destroy the Xuanguang Cave and kill the entire family for worship, and I am willing to accept this condition."
"Alas..." Yan Zong sighed slightly and said calmly: "Actually, you don't have to cooperate with the Hai Clan at all.
Once this matter is exposed and used by interested people, it will become an excuse for other forces to attack the city lord's palace.
After all, the location of Qingshan City is relatively sensitive, and the monarch has always been wary of your collusion with the Hai Clan.
As long as you endure for a little longer, the Blood Sword Sect will naturally deal with the Qi family and kill the Qi family to worship them!"
Yu Wen Chengkong said in a low voice: "Of course I know that the Blood Sword Sect will not let go of the Qi family and Xuanguang Cave.
But I must avenge my son's murder with my own hands.
And, I can't wait that long!
The fourth elder of the Blood Sword Sect was killed, the fifth elder was also seriously injured, and all the elite disciples he brought were killed.
After suffering such a heavy blow, the Blood Sword Sect will inevitably re-examine the power of the Qi family and will not dare to act rashly again.
In the short term, the Blood Sword Sect will not take action easily again!"
Yan Zong was silent.
Because he knew that Yuwen Chengkong's analysis was accurate.
After a moment of silence, he said in a calm tone: "Since you have made up your mind, I will go and reply to King Black Shark."
"Go ahead." Yuwen Chengkong waved his hand and warned, "Tell King Black Shark that I can agree to his conditions, but I also have a condition.
To worship the whole family, we must capture them alive!
If I couldn't kill that beast myself, why should I pay such a price?"
"Understood." Yan Zong responded, and his body immediately disappeared into the darkness.
Yuwen Chengkong was the only one left in the study, and everything suddenly became quiet.
He looked at the window with serious eyes, thinking silently in his heart, after catching the Qi family to worship, what kind of torture should be used to relieve his hatred?
…
For three consecutive days, Xuanguang Island has been peaceful.
No one from the Blood Sword Sect came to take revenge, nor did the city lord's mansion make any small moves.
Even Qi Mansion and the Divine Beast Garden have always been safe and sound.
Everyone in the Qi family has an illusion. Could it be that the Blood Sword Sect and the City Lord's Mansion have given in?
The opponent's plan failed and they suffered heavy losses. They should not dare to invade again, right?
With this idea in mind, many Qijia craftsmen and miners devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the mining industry.
Batch after batch of sacred stones and crystals were transported from the workshop.
Qi Tianxing, Qi Tianchen and Qi Huanzhi took turns escorting the divine stone and divine crystal back to the Qi Mansion in Qingshan City.
During these three days, Ji Tianxing has also been busy.
He spent 300,000 divine stones and more than 300 divine crystals to build two high-grade monarch-level divine formations on Xuanguang Island.
A large defensive formation protects the entire Xuanguang Cave.
A powerful killing array enveloped the entire island.
As a result, any foreign enemy who sets foot on Xuanguang Island will be mercilessly strangled.
Even a strong man like the fourth elder of the Blood Sword Sect cannot destroy the defensive formation of Xuanguang Cave.
Compared with before, the defensive power of Xuanguang Cave has been increased by about eight times!
When Ji Tianxing finished setting up the formation, both formations began to operate, and only then did they feel at ease when they returned together.
"Brother Tianxing, I didn't expect that your formation skills are so wonderful, it's simply breathtaking!
With the two divine formations you have deployed, Xuanguang Island is impregnable.
Even if the Blood Sword Sect and the City Lord’s Mansion make a comeback, they can’t even imagine setting foot on the island!”
When Ji Tianxing set up his formation, Qi Huanzhi watched from the sidelines for a long time.
He witnessed with his own eyes that someone could combine the trapping formation, killing formation, confusing formation and sealing formation together.
Moreover, those two great formations are both high-grade monarch-level divine formations, containing more than 200 million variations.
It’s extremely complicated!
Seeing Qi Huanzhi, he was full of joy and looked at ease. Ji Tianxing couldn't help but remind him.
"Although there are two divine formations protecting Xuanguang Island, you cannot take it lightly.
There are many powerful people in the Blood Sword Sect, and they may be able to find a way to solve it.
On weekdays, the guards are still required to strengthen patrols, stay vigilant and alert, and not be careless."
Qi Huanzhi nodded quickly and said: "I understand, don't worry!"
After hesitating for a moment, he asked again: "Brother Tianxing, the defense force at the Divine Beast Park is weak, and I am also very worried.
How about you go to the Divine Beast Garden and set up two divine formations?"
A few days ago, the monsters and mythical beasts that escaped from the Divine Beast Garden were found one after another by everyone in the Qi family.
Although, the Qi family only recovered half of the mythical beasts.
The other half has long been far away from Qingshan City and is difficult to capture.
But even so, the Qi family recovered nearly half of their losses.
Now, the Divine Beast Park has returned to normal.
