Chapter 526: Killing with a borrowed knife and setting up a bet(1/2)
From then on, the clan elders who came from the merchants had no choice but to give up the initiative and ask their direct descendants to send a large number of masters to Chixiao City to replace quality with quantity.
Even so, he was still suppressed and beaten by this kid Mu Yan. During the foundation building period, he had no opponent at all and acted arrogantly.
In addition to shrinking the defense, businesses are still defensive.
Chixiao City now has a deputy city lord, Chichen, the son of Mrs. Shang.
Seeing that the merchants did not do anything, but only acted like cowards and competed for real estate with the former subordinates of Chixiao City, naturally they felt secretly resentful.
The old people who worked under the former city lord also complained to him many times that the merchants were like wolves that ate meat but did not spit out bones, and they obviously had bad intentions.
But they have no choice but to rely on merchants to resist the encroachment of Xun Gu Sect.
Merchants are just grabbing land and resources, but if the big brother seeking support from ancient religions wins, it will cost him his life!
Mrs. Shang also knew that the Shang family had gone too far recently. Many people from the original Chixiao City faction were closely attached to Chichen, and they were vaguely hostile to her, scolding her for cheating on her after she got married.
But she was originally from a business family, and her brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunts all came to support her in the background. There was no way she could undermine her.
Under the current external pressure, the two factions on their side are still fighting among themselves.
It makes sense that Chi Chen was so crushed that he was so drunk that he spent the whole day drinking and drinking.
"Chen'er, there is nothing I can do about it. I will warn those people in my family. You should also restrain your father's old troops and not be too hostile to the Shang family. After all, since you have come all the way to support, you must ask for some reward.
..”
Mrs. Shang knew that her son was under great pressure, so she tried her best to comfort him.
But Chichen's eyes were red and he stared at his mother.
"remuneration?"
"They alone have the nerve to ask for remuneration?"
"What did they do? Did they prevent my eldest brother from ascending to the throne, or did they drive the Xun Gu Sect out?"
"Besides lying on my body and sucking blood all day long, what else will you do!!!"
Mrs. Shang's tone was trembling, with a hint of pleading, and she grabbed Chichen's arm to persuade him to calm down.
"Chen'er, because of you, several of my maternal uncles died. Even your uncles and aunts took great pains to hire black killers. Do you know how much the clan paid for this!"
"I don't want to know. I only know that the killers you hired are useless. They can't even hurt a hair on the Xungu Cult's pastoral flames!"
Mrs. Shang looked a little embarrassed:
"Mu Yan is our biggest stumbling block at the moment. The clan is also recruiting talents and issuing proclamations. There will always be someone in the world who can cure him. You can rest assured and wait a little longer."
"I can't wait any longer. By the time you find someone, the day lilies will be cold!"
Chi Chen frowned, his face turned red and angry, like a ferocious beast.
"This is just Mu Yan, a leader of the Xun Gu Sect."
"The real murderer of my father, Master Heiku of the Jindan stage, is still sitting in the high hall to this day!"
"Tell me, just with these rotten fish and shrimps from the merchants, when will you be able to avenge me?"
"You can't even handle Mu Yan in the foundation-building stage, and you dare to brazenly say that you want to avenge me?"
"Um?"
Mrs. Shang burst into tears as she spoke, urging him to calm down and not get excited.
"No matter how powerful Mu Yan is, he is just a young man in the Foundation Establishment stage with some talent. The merchant can randomly bring in an elder from the Golden Core stage to deal with him."
"It's just that now we are subject to the general trend, and one move can affect the whole body. If we send Jindan Zhenren to bully the big ones, the other side will definitely have high-level monks to intervene, and Chixiao City will not be reduced to ruins by then..."
"Chen'er, if you can't bear it a little, your big plans will be ruined. Just bear it a little longer."
Chi Chen closed his eyes for a rare moment. He was no longer so irritable, but calmed down and remained motionless.
Mrs. Shang hugged him carefully, wanting to hold her son in her arms.
But he was pushed away.
Chi Chen opened his eyes and spoke calmly.
"I have made up my mind, Mu Yan must be eliminated!"
"But we..."
"I don't need your business, I can handle it myself."
"How do you solve it? You must know that that kid is invincible at the same level. No one can control him during the foundation building period."
"What if it's the golden elixir stage?"
"What do you mean."
Mrs. Shang heard something was wrong and was a little surprised.
Chi Chen spoke concisely and to the point, warning her and the business people behind her.
"You can't do anything to Mu Yan, so just spit out the property that you have embezzled from my Chixiao City and give it to those who can do it. My father was not without connections during his lifetime."
"Connections? What connections did you inherit?"
"Hua? Valley, Huaiyin scattered people."
"You are crazy. This person is greedy and daring. Once provoked, he can't get rid of it like brown sugar. The key is that he still has no fixed place and no worries. He is being targeted by such a golden elixir-level casual cultivator...
"
"It is because of people like this that we are not afraid of the revenge of the big sects at all. Even if the Xun Gu Sect wants to hold him accountable afterwards, there is nothing that can be done against him!"
Chichen was talking about crazy plans, but his eyes were terrifyingly calm.
Mrs. Shang shook her head repeatedly, eager to stop her.
"No, absolutely not, you can't do whatever you want."
"Our merchants and the Xun Gu Sect are currently restraining each other. No high-level monks have intervened. Everything is still within the scope of reasonable competition."
"If you really ask Jindan cultivators to intervene, then the Xungu Sect will have every reason to believe that we broke the rules first, and then send Jindan Master to death!"
"At that time, if the situation escalates, it is very likely to turn into a war. You and I simply cannot bear this responsibility!"
...
As she was talking, she suddenly saw a silent sneer on Chi Chen's lips, which made her hair stand on end.
Yes!
Isn't this exactly what Nizi wants?
It is best to misunderstand the Xun Gu Sect. When the time comes, Mu Yan will be killed by the Huai Yin San people, which will solve the immediate crisis.
The thunder over there was so angry that he would naturally send the Jindan Master to intervene, and the merchants could only be forced to send the Jindan Patriarch to do the same.
This son is afraid that the world will not be in chaos.
Anyway, the frog has been boiled in warm water, so why not go crazy and get chestnuts from the random, and maybe give it a try. Nothing could be worse than now.
"Your character is the same as your father's. You both love gambling, but he lost his life because of it!"
"He is him, and I am me. Until the end, who can say for sure?"
Chi Chen strode past Mrs. Shang, opened the door, and looked at the horizon.
Mu Yan, your death has come.
...
"Squeak~"
The door opened, and the room was dark. A generous figure was sitting quietly on the kang.
"Master Gao, the second master invites you to go to the village to discuss matters."
The figure in the darkness stood up, with a crackling sound all over his body, and every bone and joint moved once before walking out of the room.
The skylight is extremely dazzling.
The young man was wearing a yellow apron, his head lowered and he respectfully asked for orders, his forehead gradually becoming covered with sweat.
Although I have never seen the leader of the Xun Gu Sect get angry, and I have never heard of him having any evil habits, everyone in Happy Forest is very afraid of him.
Because this person leads a group of men who are like wolves and tigers.
They were all gamblers, rogues, gangsters, and scoundrels in the world of cultivation. Since they were recruited by Gao Daoda, they have used their power to gain an identity as a non-staff member of Xun Gu Sect.
All of a sudden, they all had backstage, and they spared no effort in doing the dirty work for Xun Gu Sect, and their methods were as cruel as possible.
This group of people strictly implemented the instructions of "go high and do big". They opened gambling and bankrolling in the markets around Happy Forest, set up kiln houses, and did all kinds of low-class things.
Although it is notorious, but with the background of Xungu Cult, the people in Happy Forest Village can only swallow their anger.
Later, Gao Dada tried every means to bring back the abandoned disciples who had been kind to Sanren and helped him to become the second head of the family.
The second master also reciprocated the favor, using his power in the village to give Gao Daoda greater preferential treatment in the market.
Seeing that Happy Forest was about to be shorted, the boss couldn't hold on, so he had to run away with his former subordinates.
