"E Prefecture Merchant Guild?"

Li Yan and Sha LiFei glanced at each other.

They have dealt with the E Prefecture Merchant Guild.

E Prefecture Merchant Guild is composed of wealthy businessmen from all over the world.

The president of the Chamber of Commerce is called Wu Honglin. The Wu family where he lives is very powerful in Ezhou, and there are several officials in the imperial court who have served as ministers.

Not only that, the other party's methods are quite powerful. They rely on overseas trade to bind Royal Palace of Wu Prefecture and many other forces, and they also jointly undertake the transportation of military supplies with the Raft Sect.

Zigui County That greedy and foolish Magistrate Wu is his younger brother.

Even though such a big mess was caused, the Wu family was not affected at all, which shows how extraordinary it is.

Thinking of this, Li Yan continued to ask, "Why does Patriarch Tian think that the black hand is that person?"

Patriarch Tian sighed, "Open Sea Trade, the profits are quite large, but the risks are really not small. Not many people dared to bet at that time."

"I happened to have some spare money and was quite curious about overseas scenery, so I gritted my teeth and invested in it, but I didn't expect to make a hundredfold profit."

"Nowadays, members of the Chamber of Commerce have become a hot commodity. Several people have come to negotiate and pay high prices to buy the members away."

"The most active one among them is this Wu Jiu Cheng, and the offer was extremely low, so I flatly rejected it."

Sha LiFei stroked his beard and asked a little strangely, "The Wu family has the most members, right? Do you need to act like this?"

"You don't know something."

Patriarch Tian shook his head and said, "The Wu family is rich and powerful, but there are also many Lineage descendants, direct and collateral families, big houses and two houses, totaling hundreds of people."

"If everyone had a share, wouldn't it be chaos? The members occupied in the chamber of commerce are family property and can only be divided into dividends."

"Moreover, the Wu family has a strict hierarchy, with direct lineage and side branches, and whoever gets the amount has a certain amount, and cannot exceed the rules."

"Then Wu Jiu Cheng is a concubine, and it is reasonable to say that he has a lot of income, but he spends a lot of time and lives extravagantly, and the dividends from the clan are not enough at all, so he turned his attention to me."

As he spoke, his eyes were full of anger, and he respectfully held his hands in his hands and said, "Please help me find evidence. This matter will definitely not make it easy for him!"

Sha LiFei rolled his eyes and said, "Patriarch Tian, logically speaking, we have a duty to do this, but the situation is different from what you said."

"Originally, it was to look at Feng Shui, but now it wants to offend people. It is still the Wu family that controls the wind and rain in Ezhou. You have also seen that all the previous warlocks have suffered, and they don't even dare to say anything..."

Patriarch Tian was not angry at all, but smiled and said, "Brother Sha, I have been walking all this way and still don't know your temper?"

"We are not outsiders, so there is no need to do this. Don't worry, I am not a stingy person. As long as this matter is completed, I am willing to give you thirty thousand taels as a gift!"

"It's easy to talk about money."

Li Yan interrupted him and said seriously, "I have two things to do, and I have to trouble Patriarch Tian to help me."

"One of these is the arena meeting held by Royal Palace of Wu Prefecture. I'm itching to start and want to compete with the experts from all walks of life."

"The second reason is that we want to find a powerful Daoist craftsman who is reliable and can keep his mouth shut afterward."

"Oh?"

Patriarch Tian pondered for a moment, "It's easy to talk about the arena meeting. The chamber of commerce already has the quota to participate. When the time comes, Young Hero Li will participate in the name of Tian's chamber of commerce Attendant."

"As for this Xuanmen craftsman, let me inquire first. After all, what I'm looking for is probably not an ordinary person. If you have an idea, I'll give Young Hero Li an answer."

"Okay!"

After negotiating the conditions, it is natural to resolve the matter at hand first.

Li Yan asked again, "Patriarch Tian, I'm curious, how will you deal with the evidence after you get it?"

"Knowing how big the matter is, we also have a sense of proportion in what we do."

As Patriarch Tian said, the Wu family is powerful, but Li Yan and others are really not afraid. After all, Heavenly Saint Sect and the Ghost Sect have offended them so badly, why are they afraid of him as a businessman?

But first we have to figure out how bold this Patriarch Tian is.

Patriarch Tian naturally heard what he meant, shook his head and said, "Although the shopping mall is like a battlefield, there are also rules to avoid making it too ugly."

"The Wu family is powerful in the Chamber of Commerce, but it does not cover the sky with just one hand. There are also many people who are eyeing their position."

"A few of my friends and I are considered neutrals. We work together to protect ourselves. Both parties have to win over each other. Moreover, using secret techniques to seize people's property is taboo in the chamber of commerce."

"After Dragon Boat Festival, the president will be re-elected. At this critical moment, Wu Honglin does not dare to be careless. As long as we get the evidence, we will definitely let him give up some key positions."

"If I can accomplish this, it's worth it for me to suffer some injustice."

Li Yan After hearing this, he was not surprised.

This is the nature of a businessman. He will not fight like a river and lake, and fight against each other if they disagree.

Maybe in the end, we will even have a good time drinking and talking.

"In this way, this matter will be easier to handle."

Sha LiFei has a lot of clever ideas, and the bald head immediately came up with an idea, "Leave it to us to find people. Patriarch Tian You secretly send people to find those warlocks and establish the evidence."

"Also, tell us the name of the craftsman who built your house."

Patriarch Tian nodded and said, "The people who helped me build the house are Xu Family Troupe from the city. They are from Huizhou Gang. The class leader Xu Qingquan is an honest person and is well-known among Hanyang City. I never thought he would do this."

"I will go find him to settle the score now!"

Li Yan thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "There's no rush."

"Didn't Patriarch Tian discover it? They are so blatant because they are sure that this technique is secret. Even if they discover it, they can completely deny it."

"This Yansheng Curse is a bit weird. There is no trace of Yin Energy. It is difficult to use it as evidence. The top priority is to find the key."

"When the time comes, the other party will have nothing to say."

As he said that, he turned to look at Wang Dao Xuan, "Daoist Priest, do you have a way to crack it?"

Wang Dao Xuan caressed his beard and said, "According to what Patriarch Tian said, I guess this Yansheng Curse consumes his energy through nightmares."

"Tonight we will set up a altar to see what is causing the trouble. As long as we find the cause, we can solve it."

"Okay!"

Patriarch Tian can do such a big business, so he is not a timid person, so he agreed immediately.

Late at night, the moon and stars are scarce.

Tian Family Mansion, In the front hall, the altar has been set up.

The square table top is covered with bright yellow brocade and embroidered with Bagua, Sun Moon Star and dragon and phoenix, which looks quite gorgeous.

In front of the altar, there are eight ghost jars, all of which were captured by Wang Dao Xuan Rampaging Soldiers. The most powerful one among them is the earth dragon ghost.

Rampaging Soldiers is fierce, so naturally there is the statue of Western Xuan Lineage Grandmaster to suppress it.

In front of the statue are placed Five Offerings, water, fruits, flowers, cakes, etc. Next to it are various magical instruments: red candles, sandalwood burners, sandalwood dishes, water purification cups, Dharma slips, tokens, wooden fish, Yellow Paper.

The most powerful thing is the Coin Sword.

There are eight Dharma flags placed around it, floating slowly in the breeze.

The team of Li Yan is now considered to be quite wealthy, so it is natural that Wang Dao Xuan is equipped with all the guys.

All the magical instruments are of top grade Yichang City God Temple.

Of course, it cannot be compared with Orthodox Xuan Gate.

When someone holds a large-scale ritual, the altar needs to be built on several levels, not to mention the ritual objects, and the ritual requires the cooperation of many people.

Gao Gong, Du Dao, Supervisor, Serving Sutras, Serving Incense, Photographing Science... Everyone performs their own duties and cooperates with each other tacitly.

Even on the altar, there are various rules and regulations Precepts, and there are dedicated altar enforcers to rectify the rules and regulations.

Of course, this level of Ritual Altar is extremely powerful and is usually responsible for warding off disasters and praying for blessings in an entire area.

For those like Li Yan who run single gangs, today's magic weapon configuration is enough.

As the night got darker, the servants were all driven back to their rooms.

Sha LiFei accompanies Wang Dao Xuan and is responsible for protecting the law.

Li Yan and Lu San jumped on the roof to alert.

As for Patriarch Tian, Wing Room was sleeping on the left side of the front hall. He was anxiously waiting to find out what was causing the trouble when he fell asleep later.

Before you know it, Zi Hour is approaching.

Wang Dao Xuan has already dressed up and opened the altar.

Listening to the squeaking and turning of the wooden bed in the room, Wang Dao Xuan shook his head and said, "Patriarch Tian Don't worry, just sleep."

Patriarch Tian inside said helplessly, "This... I have something on my mind and I really can't sleep."

Having said that, when he entered Zi Hour, he still felt sleepy, his upper and lower eyelids were fighting, as if he had been hit by Misty Sweat Drug, and he fell asleep directly.

"There is indeed a problem."

Wang Dao Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, Coin Sword pulled it up, put up a Yellow Talisman on the table, stepped on the Gangstep, pinched the hand and chanted. "Gods and earth, all souls return together, I worship Profound Qi Manifesting Might Celestial Lord Chen, chasing souls from all directions, evil ghosts appearing, edict!"

After saying that, he waved his sword and Yellow Talisman burned instantly.

He waved Coin Sword, pinched Mystical Gestures, Binding of Evil Entering the Taboo at the same time, and drew a talisman on Bagua Mirror.

Then, I picked up Bagua Mirror and took a photo of it in the room.

Under the moonlight, there seemed to be a flash of black mist on the bronze mirror, but then it disappeared and nothing could be seen.

This is the ghost imaging method, which is the Wang Dao Xuan Western Xuan Lineage method.

Most of the spells in the world rely on the power of ghosts and gods to drive Innate Gangsha Energy to cast spells.

If there is something causing trouble, it will appear on Bagua Mirror. Although it is not as good as Yin Yang Eyes, it can still give a rough look.

However, this method has no foundation.

Wang Dao Xuan frowned, grabbed a handful of ashes from the incense burner, kept chanting in his mouth, and then blew it suddenly.

Phew~

Yin Wind stood up suddenly, and the ashes rolled into the room.

Wang Dao Xuan picked up the bronze mirror and continued to look at it.

This is to use incense ash to force it to appear.

However, I didn't see anything either.

"Wrong!"

Wang Dao Xuan said thoughtfully, "I'm afraid it's not an evil ghost that's causing trouble."

After that, he picked up a lamp on the altar.

This lamp is made of rhinoceros horn, which is the treasure "Rhino Horn Lamp" obtained from Tongtian San Niang.

Tongtian San Niang is pregnant with the three treasures.

Rhino Horn Lamp, Necklace Pearl, Heart-Piercing Nail.

"Necklace Pearl" and "Profound Yellow Heavenly Talisman" can avoid underworld detection, and are all handed over to Yu Longzi.

"Heart-Piercing Nail" is an offensive magic weapon. Li Yan doesn't have the same jet-shooting ability as Tongtian San Niang, and it's disgusting.

Fortunately, this treasure is used to suppress Drought Demon, so its biggest function is to restrain various zombies, so it becomes a team treasure.

As for "Rhino Horn Lamp", it is a magic weapon made from the horn of Heavenly Rhinoceros, which can illuminate Yin and Yang and make ghosts appear.

Equivalent to the extremely powerful Yin Yang Eyes, it can also be used to cast spells and summon ghosts to appear.

Unfortunately, the lamp oil in it is really difficult to get. It is made from corpse oil mixed with a kind of mirage pearl powder.

Li Yan found a booklet for refining lamp oil from Tongtian San Niang, but the mirage powder was hard to find, so there was only a little lamp oil left.

Use it once, it's one less time.

Wang Dao Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of distress, but he still consecrated it and then lit it with incense candles.

Suddenly, there was a faint green light all around.

Sha LiFei next to him suddenly widened his eyes.

Under the direct green light, several ghost jars on the altar were surrounded by a layer of black mist, billowing above, vaguely showing the ferocious appearance of Rampaging Soldiers.

Wang Dao Xuan handed Rhino Horn Lamp to Sha LiFei and said in a deep voice, "Go inside and take a photo to see what Patriarch Tian has on him."

"Okay."

Sha LiFei swallowed, and quickly took Rhino Horn Lamp, trotted all the way, and entered Wing Room of Patriarch Tian.

There was a faint green light, and the originally dark Wing Room became increasingly weird.

I saw that there seemed to be a dark thing on Patriarch Tian.

Sha LiFei's heart was pounding, but he still had the courage to hold "Rhino Horn Lamp" in his hand, slow down and step forward carefully.

As I approached the bed, I finally saw it clearly.

It was an old man wearing a dark shroud with a pale face, his eyes were dull, and he was squatting on Patriarch Tian's chest in a strange posture, almost face to face.

What a coward!

Sha LiFei cursed secretly, then carefully backed away, walked out of the room, and came to the altar.

Wang Dao Xuan took Rhino Horn Lamp, blew it out immediately, and then asked, "What did you see?"

"An old man..."

Sha LiFei gestured and described it.

"Wearing a shroud?"

Wang Dao Xuan frowned slightly, looked at the re-placed stone steps again, and suddenly realized in his eyes, "I understand..."

"Someone!"

At this moment, Lu San on the roof suddenly stood up.

Li Yan, on the other hand, had already stepped on the roof beam, exerted force under his feet, and suddenly jumped into the air, jumping directly to the back alley of the Tian Family Mansion.

I saw a dark shadow running away.

The opponent has obviously stepped into Hidden Strength, and his feet are continuously exerting force at a very fast speed, rushing forward like a sharp arrow.

"Hmph!"

Li Yan snorted coldly and chased after him directly.

Although he is not as good as those veteran masters, he divided various Martial Power into Yin Yang Bagua, and by taking advantage of the situation, he can be regarded as stepping into the Transformed Strength level.

Martial Power erupted continuously under my feet, as if the ground was shrinking to an inch.

What's even better is that every time he steps on the ground, he uses concussive force. Martial Power reverberates between the body's fascia and the ground, doubling the speed again.

This is considered his initial use of Undying Imprint Method.

Although it cannot absorb the enemy Martial Power and then take advantage of the situation to attack, it can be used to rush on the road, which is far beyond ordinary warriors.

If someone is around at this moment, you will feel that his figure is flickering, like a ghost, almost as if he has used magic.

Within a few breaths, the distance between the two parties can be easily shortened.

At this moment, the opponent suddenly stepped on Seven Star Step, his body suddenly stopped, and with the help of this force, he turned over, his body looked like a swimming dragon, and kicked Li Yan in the forehead.

This time, it was extremely sudden.

However, Li Yan reacted faster, Side Step Shoulder Shift, twisted his body and let the leg pass, followed by Heart Piercing Elbow.

Bang!

Then the figure flew out sideways and rolled three times on the ground before stopping its momentum and struggling to get up.

Li Yan, on the other hand, looked gloomy and said:

"Red Dragon Turns Over, Longhua Fist?"

"The people in Wudang are eating Ge Nian..."
