A Mob

There is a widely circulated saying among the imperial powers.

Controlling Yanjing is equivalent to controlling Star Han's brain, and controlling Puhai is equivalent to controlling Star Han's money bag.

Therefore, in the concessions of Puhai.

There are many foreign adventurers and merchants.

In the eyes of foreigners, a powerful magician, like an evil Merlin, suddenly appeared in the Far East. After selling his soul to Satan for terrifying power, not only did he lose control of the money bags they held tightly, but like the demonic monk of the Ice Fortress, once such an evil and mysterious existence began to gain power, he would target women!

Using the evil bed arts obtained by sacrificing his soul, he made all women devoted to him!

It must be evil magic!

How could there be a magician in this world who, with his far-sighted vision, wise and far-reaching gaze, handsome face, absolute authority, and perfect physique that made females' legs go weak, made other people's wives and daughters devoted to him? It must be evil magic!

It is said that Philia, the wife of the president of the India Shipping Company, a dignified and beautiful woman, but also an extremely ascetic Catholic, after interviewing the evil Lan Yi.

When she returned home, her husband, the president, angrily questioned her about what had happened with that evil magician.

Unexpectedly, she was met with Philia's mockery.

"You've only been married to me for over a decade, don't act like my man to care and question me!"

If this isn't evil magic, what is it?

As for the other noble ladies, as well as their maids and bodyguards, they were all more or less the same. The chaos and unrest in their homes are not worth mentioning. The wronged foreigners, whose heads were adorned with green hats in an uncertain superposition, began to conspire privately. They wanted Lan Yi dead, not only because they might have been cuckolded, but more importantly, their money bags were out of control!

Blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents.

The hatred of having one's wife stolen is irreconcilable.

With these two hatreds combined, even the people of Dongyang, who had been brutally suppressed by the Ghost Heavenly General Geng Liangchen, would have to cut off their fingers and swear to wash away this great humiliation.

In the basement of a mansion in the British concession.

In the dimly lit basement was a group of foreigners who came to Star Han to be emperors, but unexpectedly found themselves rapidly being gifted with green hats. After being cuckolded, both Eastern and Western foreigners had extremely foul expressions, with a fire burning within them that they couldn't release, and they were on the verge of internal injury.

At this moment, they were discussing heatedly.

"He is still human; he needs to eat, he needs to breathe, he needs to drink water, he needs to sleep. Since this is the case, poisoning must be effective. As long as anyone takes the cyanide from our Great Dongyang Empire, they will surely die."

This was the suggestion from a wronged Easterner, gritting his teeth.

Having infiltrated Star Han the deepest, they obtained the most intelligence about Lan Yi.

Lan Yi was still human and had not completed all his physical modifications; he did indeed need to eat and rest. If the opportunity was seized properly, there was indeed a chance to injure Lan Yi.

In contrast, the suggestions from the wronged Westerners were simpler and more direct.

"The monsters created by that evil magician still fear heavy machine guns, fear cannons, let alone naval guns. If we have his exact coordinates, as soon as the punitive fleet heading south approaches Puhai, we can contact them and directly bombard him!"

The tragic defeat of the Dongyang soldiers still conveyed useful information.

Moreover, naval guns are indeed powerful.

With one shot, even if the current Fierce Heavenly General Zhao Jian stood his ground and took it head-on, facing the terrifying energy release, he would be blown into meat paste on the spot. As for Lan Yi, if he were caught off guard and sleeping too soundly, and Cang Hua was unable to organize a defense in time, he would also not escape being buried by naval guns.

"That's right! We can also bury explosive packages, explosives for an entire building! On Lan Yi's path!"

"We can also contact Kent and Albert; they have staffs!"

"Let those idiotic India people be human bombs!"

The atmosphere grew increasingly fervent.

It was as if Lan Yi, who had been gifting them green hats, was already being severely wounded and dying under various assassination plans in their mouths, while they, the victors, were grinning and grinding his bones to ashes, taking his corpse to reclaim their lost dignity and virility!

To prove to their wives, daughters, secretaries, lovers, and maids that they were stronger than that evil magician, and that they were the heroes who saved them from evil magic!

"We can also have those women whose minds have been bewitched take action! When a man is with a woman in bed, it's when he's most relaxed and unguarded!"

An excited Dongyang merchant said.

As soon as these words were spoken, the previously fervent atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

More than half of the foreigners present had their expressions instantly turn very ugly. This damned Eastern dwarf was really poking a sore spot. It was already embarrassing enough that their beloved wives or daughters went to interview Lan Yi, and it was even more embarrassing that they couldn't get them to act against Lan Yi.

If they did this.

Given how they looked, bewitched by evil magic, they would turn around and sell their plan to Lan Yi in the next second!

The Dongyang merchant was somewhat puzzled by the strangeness of these white people.

In their Dongyang culture, it was an honor for a strong man to sleep with one's wife, and it was also acceptable to betray that strong man. These white people were so hesitant; they clearly weren't people who could accomplish great things!

"They are not capable of great things, a mob."

At this moment, in the basement next to this mansion.

A man who had been listening with his eyes closed, by secretly digging through buried pipes, couldn't help but sigh.

They had been monitoring the vicinity for three days.

These foreigners who intended to harm the Immortal Master Lan Yi still hadn't realized that the Immortal Master didn't take their schemes and tricks seriously at all, and their actions, which they thought were secret, had long since been ruthlessly betrayed by the women who were wholeheartedly devoted to their blue dreams.

The wronged parties overestimated the bond of family affection.

They also underestimated the methods of the Martial Artist group.

"Liu Baiyuan, if we don't get a definitive answer and handle this cleanly, then when the Immortal Master heads north the day after tomorrow to punish the Manchu, we'll lose a golden opportunity to serve by his side."

Guo Decheng, standing nearby with a neat mustache and a cigarette in his mouth, urged him on.

It was said the punitive fleet would arrive in Puhai tomorrow.

The city was in some disarray right now.

Otherwise, this group of rats wouldn't dare to conspire in secret.

Liu Baiyuan and Guo Decheng.

These were two of the most outstanding martial artists among the recent batch seeking immortal destiny and yearning for Bestowing Martial Arts. They were also rare martial artists whom Lan Yi personally trained, meticulously cultivating Innate Qi.

Liu Baiyuan, an Archer, possessed the ability to draw his bow and shoot at sound, with unparalleled skill in discerning position by sound and capturing vibrations. Guo Decheng was the leader of an assassination organization cultivated by a high-ranking official with foot ailments, possessing superb marksmanship and infiltration skills.

Currently, both were under the command of the Ghost Heavenly General Geng Liangchen.

Their specialty was gathering intelligence on foreigners.

"Hush, they finally have a plan. Prepare to assassinate the Immortal Master tomorrow and the day after! Quickly, bring me paper and pen. You write, and have that foreign woman who provided the intelligence come correct the translation later!"
