Mortal Enemies

Business lounge of a Mong Kok hotel.

It's the same lobby as last time.

When Li Ao arrived, wearing a gold necklace, a black suit, and exuding an air of nouveau riche with a bloated waist, he was dressed in a black suit.

Qi Fei, Lin Xianglan, and the old man surnamed Mo had already arrived.

"Everyone, I'm sorry."

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Li Ao pulled up a chair, sat down, picked up a cup of chrysanthemum tea, gulped down several mouthfuls, and then exhaled.

Qi Fei, dressed in a sharp suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and missing a finger, looked at Li Ao with a solemn expression.

"Big Mouth Li, didn't you send people to scout out the Silver Bay Base?"

"How is the situation?"

Li Ao shook his head and said, "Just before I arrived, I couldn't get in touch with anyone at the Silver Bay Base."

"I estimate the situation is probably quite bad."

"I've prepared for the worst."

The worst-case scenario is that all of Li Ao's men will be slaughtered by the man surnamed Yu.

The old man surnamed Mo sighed, leaning on his cane, "It seems that Liu Xiao's remnants are serious about fighting us."

"Sending us to offer condolences to the man surnamed Liu is actually a ploy to wipe us all out."

Qi Fei back in his chair and looked at the other three people at the table. "Then let's just ignore the one surnamed Yu. Besides, where does this Liu guy get the nerve to ask all four of us to go and offer our condolences?"

"He doesn't even deserve it?"

Li Ao grabbed a handful of peanuts, popped them into his mouth, and said while chewing, "This time, I agree with Mr. Qi's opinion."

"Knowing it's a trap, why would we still step into it?"

The elderly man surnamed Mo shook his head. "I don't think so."

"If we don't go, we might actually give the Yu family the opportunity to defeat us one by one."

"And then..."

He looked at Lin Xianglan: "Miss Lin, you said last time that Mister Zhou would take action?"

Lin Xianglan smiled and nodded, "That's right, I've already told Brother Zhou Tong, and he said that Yu Bai Brother Zhou is nothing but a clown."

"It would be fine if he were lying down."

"If he dares to be too arrogant, Brother Zhou will teach him a lesson."

The old man surnamed Mo nodded and looked at the others, saying, "Since Mister Zhou has taken the lead, I think we should go and offer our condolences to Liu."

"And while you're at it, help Yu Bai with his funeral as well."

"So that if he doesn't remove this fishbone, none of us here will be able to sleep soundly."

What do you think?

Qi Fei and Li Ao exchanged a glance, then nodded in unison to indicate their agreement.

When Li Ao and his three companions gathered, several cars drove into Pingyao Underground City and headed towards the city center along a special road.

Luo Yan was sitting in one of the cars.

Beside him, the bald man Yu Bai, spoke respectfully.

"Mister Red Ghost, as you instructed, we have arranged for the four men surnamed Li to come to the Buddhist Hall to pay their respects on Qingming Festival."

Luo Yan nodded slightly and looked out the window.

The architectural style of Pingyao is quite similar to that of Qingyang.

It has a strong traditional Chinese style.

However, the architecture in Pingyao is relatively monotonous in color, giving it a solemn feel.

Unlike Qingyang, which is bright and magnificent.

Luo Yan's gaze shifted, finally settling on the distant part of the Undercity.

Suddenly.

His pupils contracted sharply.

The scales on its body were suddenly activated.

It almost entered the 'dragon transformation' state.

However, in the past, when entering the 'Dragon Transformation' state, it would naturally exude a fierce and malevolent aura.

At the same time, one can feel the ' Dragon Dragon Blood Essence ' boiling.

But at this moment.

Not only did it not reveal the slightest hint of ferocity, but the ' Dragon Dragon Blood Essence ' also showed no sign of boiling.

On the contrary, the ' Dragon Dragon Blood Essence ' seemed to be trying its best to hide itself, as if it had encountered some kind of natural enemy.

Under the influence of the ' Dragon Dragon Blood Essence ', Luo Yan felt a strong urge to turn back and leave the city.

but.

This feeling.

And the unusual activity of the ' Dragon Dragon Blood Essence '.

They all vanished in an instant, as if what had just happened was merely Luo Yan's illusion.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Yu Bai, who was standing next to Yu Bai Yan, was completely oblivious to what was happening and continued to tell Luo Yan about the condolences.

At this moment, Luo Yan interrupted him, pointing to the place outside the window that gave him an unusual feeling, and asked, "Where is that?"

Yu Bai glanced at it and casually said, "Old City, Liu Xiao's betting operations are basically all there."

Luo Yan's pupils have returned to normal.

After closing his eyes slightly.

He said, "We're not going to the old town."

"I have some business to attend to, so I'll just check into a hotel in the city."

"Also, change the location."

"The condolence ceremony will be held at the city funeral home. You can choose the specific location, and just let me know afterwards."

Yu Bai looked bewildered, not knowing why Luo Yan had changed his mind.

He didn't know.

Luo Yan trusted his instincts.

There is something dangerous in the old town.

He didn't even dare to use the ' Unbounded Blazing Eyes ' to observe.

I'm worried they'll find out.

He has only one thought right now.

After you've finished your business, leave Pingyao as soon as possible.

There is some kind of danger lurking in this city.

Huge danger!

Old town, Azure Cloud Lane.

In a small courtyard.

Someone pushed open the door, and a tall, imposing figure stepped out.

The red-haired, red-bearded man glanced towards the city center.

He slightly closed his eyes.

Silence.

As instructed by Luo Yan, Yu Bai arranged a room for him at a hotel in the city.

That evening, Luo Yan secretly left.

When he left the hotel, he had changed into another outfit.

They became students of the Hundred Battles Academy.

The symbolism of the Longxiang is too strong, so he didn't bring it with him this time.

He only carried a ' Star Splitter ' longsword for self-defense.

Walking along the long stone-paved streets of Pingyao, I carried the letter Di Zheng had given me.

Luo Yan stopped frequently to ask for directions.

After going around in circles...

They found their destination.

The most obvious feature of this quiet courtyard is the peach tree that grows taller than the courtyard wall.

The courtyard was named ' Taowan '.

This is the residence of Ms. Yunrong.

Luo Yan examined the quaint courtyard for a moment, concluding that no one was inside.

He was about to leave, promising to come back to visit again tomorrow morning.

Then a car slowly drove up and stopped at the street corner.

The car lights went out, the door opened, and a figure stepped out.

Under the streetlights.

He was around thirty-four or thirty-five years old, with his black hair casually draped over his shoulders and faint wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

She is still very well-maintained, with smooth and fair skin. She doesn't have the naivety of a young girl, but rather a maturity that girls don't possess.

This woman had a very captivating aura, yet a hint of menace occasionally emanated from her eyes and brows.

Especially her eyes; when she looked at him, Luo Yan felt a slight prickling sensation.

"Hey kid, what are you doing in front of my house?"

Holding a brown paper bag filled with fruits, the woman approached, her face filled with menacing intent.

Luo Yan took a deep breath. "Good evening, Ms. Yun Rong."

"I am a student of Professor Wei Fenghua."

"My teacher told me to visit you as soon as I arrived in Pingyao."

The woman stopped.

The fierce look in his eyes softened slightly.

He looked Luo Yan up and down.

He then chuckled.

"Little guy, you've really gotten yourself into a mess."

"Feng Hua would never let you say that."

"Was it that guy surnamed Di who sent you?"
