Blood Demon Flower, Fine Rain Blade

Of course, the people in front of him were also people they couldn't afford to offend.

He had no choice but to follow orders.

"Didn't Lei Ao already show himself? Then let Lei Ao meet Ling Tianhe head-on tomorrow and tell him to give up the mine."

The young man said.

After speaking, he stood up and said, "I'm a bit tired, I'll go back and rest first!"

"Lei Ao, you escort Young Master Qin to rest."

Lei Mo arranged for Lei Ao to send the youth away.

The youth nodded and, led by Lei Ao, headed towards the backyard of the manor.

In the main hall, only Lei Mo and Elder Mo remained.

"Elder Mo, I have a bad feeling. How could the news about the Fifth-grade Lotus Platform get out?"

Lei Mo held his wine glass and walked up to the elder, saying in a deep voice.

"Who knows? If this Young Master Qin could get the news, others could too. The most important thing for us right now is to get that mine, extract the Void Nether Stones, and speed up the maturation of that Fifth-grade Lotus Platform."

"However, this Fifth-grade Lotus Platform is truly unfathomable. Rumor has it that treasures like lotus platforms need to be cultivated by eminent Buddhist monks to grow, yet we found one growing naturally. It's truly astonishing."

The elder spoke.

Hearing the elder's words, Lei Mo also nodded.

He didn't say anything else and drank some wine with the elder.

At this moment.

Lei Ao, who had arranged for Young Master Qin, entered Young Master Qin's room and bowed, saying, "Greetings, my Lord."

"Tell me, what's Ling Tianhe's condition?"

Young Master Qin asked.

"He suffered internal injuries. The injuries are not severe, but they affect his strength. The person who fought him should be slightly stronger than him, possibly in the late Xiantian stage."

Lei Ao reported.

"Have the black market investigated who leaked this news?"

Young Master Qin asked in a deep voice.

"We are investigating, but the black market personnel are complex. Our Lei Hall is not an intelligence agency itself, so it's difficult to find this person in a short time."

Lei Ao said in a deep voice.

"I suspect Elder Mo leaked the news about the black market. He's forcing me to rush the maturation of the Fifth-grade Lotus Platform."

"Since he wants it done quickly, and Mu Qingxue has already arrived from Zitan Palace, half the plan is successful. Then let's start fully ripening the Blood Demon Flower!"

"You can directly threaten Ling Tianhe and force him to hand over the mine, so that we can ripen it by the time Mu Qingxue arrives."

"When the time comes, I will devour the Nine Nether Cold Qi within Mu Qingxue, combined with the Blood Demon Flower. My aptitude and strength will definitely improve rapidly. The Refining Soul Realm will not be my limit."

At this point, Young Master Qin's face was full of excitement.

From Young Master Qin's words, it can be seen that he might be the mastermind behind this incident.

The goal is to obtain the Nine Nether Cold Qi within Mu Qingxue.

On the other hand.

Su Chen returned to his secret chamber and, after coming out, went back to his own courtyard.

He undressed and slept.

His mind relaxed, and he quickly fell asleep.

With Bai Tianyu protecting him in the shadows.

He believed that no one in Qingcheng City could harm him.

The next day!

Su Chen ate a simple meal and then headed to the main building of the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower.

The main building of the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower was a five-story mansion located on a bustling street in Qingcheng City.

When Su Chen arrived at the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower.

Ling Tianhe was already waiting for Su Chen there.

Upon seeing Su Chen, he immediately bowed and welcomed him, leading Su Chen to the fifth floor of the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower.

This fifth floor belonged exclusively to the Tower Master of the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower.

Su Chen stood on the balcony of the pavilion.

Looking at the streets of Qingcheng City.

He felt a slight breeze and couldn't help but take a refreshing breath of air.

My Lord, I've been organizing the Tower Master's whereabouts and contacts. I found that three months ago, the Tower Master seemed to have contacted someone.

"This person has no dealings with our Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower, and the Tower Master hasn't met with him before."

Ling Tianhe said, bowing.

"Who?"

Su Chen simply asked.

"Qin Hao, the third young master of the Qin Family, one of the eight great families of Lingnan Commandery's prefectural government. He is currently a guest at Lei Hall, being hosted by Lei Family's Second Master, Lei Mo!"

The Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower's combat strength wasn't very high.

However, their intelligence and business were truly famous.

"Qin Hao, Lei Mo of the Lei Family, Lei Ao!"

"It seems my father's death is likely related to them."

"Continue investigating. I want to see why they killed my father."

Su Chen said, his eyes turning cold.

The Qin Family, one of the eight great families of Lingnan Commandery's prefectural government, was a family whose strength could rival the Shanhe Sect, despite only being a 'great family'.

Why would someone like that come to see his father?

It couldn't be for intelligence.

The intelligence network of the eight great families was far superior to that of the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower.

The Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower was only well-known within Qingcheng City's territory.

"Have those with ulterior motives been identified? If so, deal with them."

Su Chen said to Ling Tianhe.

Having Ling Tianhe handle this made it seem as though Ling Tianhe was eliminating rivals and preparing to take over the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower, thus downplaying his own presence.

"This is the list of those with ulterior motives. Out of seventeen people, eight are currently in contact with the other four major powers!"

Ling Tianhe handed the list to Su Chen.

"You don't need to give it to me. Handle it yourself."

Su Chen didn't take the list and instead spoke.

He wasn't the previous Su Chen; he had no emotional attachment to the people within the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower.

What he wanted now was control.

Even if Ling Tianhe had any ulterior motives, it wouldn't matter to him.

The other man's life and death were in his hands.

Hearing Su Chen's words, Ling Tianhe's face lit up with joy.

He hadn't been tempted to tamper with this list at all.

"Where is my father's Fine Rain Blade? Help me retrieve it!"

"Also, get me a copy of the information on the martial arts manuals within the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower!"

Su Chen said.

He still had one Basic Enhancement Card, which he planned to use to enhance his Su Mengbai's Fine Rain Blade.

He wanted to see what quality it could reach.

"The楼主's Fine Rain Blade is in the inner chamber. As for the manual list, this subordinate will go to the third floor to retrieve it for you,楼主."

As Ling Tianhe spoke, he led Su Chen into the adjacent inner chamber.

The Fine Rain Blade was placed on a sword rack.

"Good. Retrieve the manual information, then go handle matters. I'll give you one day to finish this."

"After this is done, I imagine Lei Ao will come looking for you again."

Su Chen said.

"Yes!"

Ling Tianhe bowed and exited the room.

Su Chen, meanwhile, walked over to the sword rack and took the Fine Rain Blade down.

Ching!

He drew it directly.

The blade was as thin as a cicada's wing, emitting a sharp aura.

Su Chen waved his hand, and the blade flashed. The air seemed to be cut, leaving a trace.

His eyes lit up. His internal energy surged into the Fine Rain Blade, causing the blade to hum and vibrate. A visible blade energy bloomed on the Fine Rain Blade's edge.

Seeing this, Su Chen's face broke into a smile. Instinctively, he swung the blade.

Ching!

The blade passed directly through the long table in front of him.

After the long blade passed, the tabletop was intact, showing no signs of damage.

Su Chen slowly walked onto the long table, and with a gentle touch of his palm, the table immediately split in two.

"What a sharp Fine Rain Blade; it probably wouldn't even draw blood when killing someone."

"I wonder what level it will reach after being strengthened."

Su Chen's eyes flickered, his heart surging with excitement.
