Conspiracy

Hearing the man before him, Jialie Ao narrowed his eyes.

"Who are you?"

"How do you plan to deal with Xiao Yang?"

At the mention of Xiao Yang, a flicker of venom flashed through Jialie Ao's eyes.

At that moment, he wished he could skin Xiao Yang alive, devour his flesh, and drink his blood!

However, he also knew one thing.

Xiao Yang rarely left the Xiao Clan.

He practically did not come out more than a few times a year.

Whenever there was something to be handled, he usually had his maid do it.

So dealing with Xiao Yang would not be easy.

They could hardly barge into the Xiao Clan to deal with Xiao Yang, could they?

The Battler across from him slowly spoke to Jialie Ao.

"My master previously worked at the Mittel Auction House."

"He has now left the Mittel Auction House."

"However, his father is an honored retainer of the Mite'er Family."

Upon hearing those final words, shock flashed through Jialie Ao's eyes.

The Mite'er Family was one of the three major powers in the Imperial Capital of the Jia Ma Empire.

Its patriarch was a Dou Wang expert!

Moreover, it was said that the Mite'er Family's supreme elder was Ice Emperor Haibodong, one of the strongest experts in the Jia Ma Empire!

Although Ice Emperor Haibodong had not appeared for a long time,

his lingering prestige remained.

None of the Mite'er Family's honored retainers were weak either.

After all, anyone weak could never become an honored retainer of the Mite'er Family.

In other words, the person behind this Battler might have a Dou Ling father!

Jialie Ao's attitude immediately became much more respectful.

Although he did not know whether the other party was telling the truth, it was best not to offend him for now.

"May I ask what business your young master has with me?"

The Battler standing before Jialie Ao spoke bluntly.

"My young master wishes to see you. Follow me."

With that, he headed toward an inn not far away.

Jialie Ao hesitated for a moment. Thinking of Xiao Yang, he gritted his teeth and followed.

Soon, the Battler led him to a private room in the inn.

"The young master is inside. Go in yourself."

As he spoke, he directly stopped the several guards behind Jialie Ao who wanted to enter with him.

Jialie Ao hesitated briefly, then signaled for the guards to wait outside.

Then, he pushed open the door and entered.

After entering the private room, he saw that there was only one young man inside.

If Xiao Yang had been there, he would have recognized him as Emil, whom he had met not long ago!

"May I know your name, young master?"

Jialie Ao looked at him and asked cautiously.

Emil still wore a faint smile.

"Qilong Emil. I was formerly the manager of a Mittel Auction House branch."

"However, I have now resigned from my position as manager."

Jialie Ao silently committed the name to memory, intending to investigate it when he returned.

"May I ask why Young Master Emil summoned me here?"

Emil spoke directly.

"You want to deal with Xiao Yang?"

Hearing this, fury and resentment flashed through Jialie Ao's eyes.

"You want to deal with Xiao Yang too?"

He immediately countered with a question.

He wanted to know Emil's purpose in summoning him.

After all, he was no fool. He had no intention of being used as someone else's weapon.

Emil did not hide anything.

"I want the brewing method for the Sun Wine in Xiao Yang's and the Xiao Clan's hands."

"If you can obtain it, we can share it."

"After all, I can easily sell Sun Wine in the Imperial Capital and the surrounding countries."

Although he said that, Jialie Ao could not see the slightest emotional fluctuation in Emil's eyes.

The other man wore a gentle smile on the surface, but his gaze held no emotion whatsoever.

However, upon hearing about the Sun Wine brewing method, a fiery gleam flashed through Jialie Ao's eyes.

Jia Liebi often compared him to Xiao Yang.

Therefore, Jialie Ao also knew how important Sun Wine was.

He himself had tasted Sun Wine before.

The first time he drank it, he had been utterly shocked by it.

He had never imagined that anyone could brew such strong liquor.

Such liquor should never have been able to appear in a small place like the Jia Ma Empire.

If the Jia Lie Clan could also obtain the brewing method for Sun Wine...

At that thought, Jialie Ao's eyes burned with desire.

However, he quickly thought of a problem.

How were they supposed to capture Xiao Yang?

Xiao Yang hardly ever left the Xiao Clan.

Thus, he looked toward Emil across from him.

"Capturing Xiao Yang would be too difficult!"

"Unless we can directly destroy the Xiao Clan."

As he spoke, suspicion flashed through Jialie Ao's eyes.

"Why don't you simply have your father make a move?"

"As an honored retainer of the Mite'er Family, he should at least be a Dou Ling expert, right?"

As the suspicion in Jialie Ao's eyes deepened, Emil did not conceal anything and spoke directly.

"My father is an honored retainer of the Mite'er Family."

"Xiao Yang has signed an agreement with the Mittel Auction House, so they cannot set their sights on his Sun Wine."

"Therefore, the Mite'er Family will not allow my father to act recklessly."

"Once my father acts, even if we obtain the Sun Wine brewing method, the Mite'er Family can completely use the contract as a pretext to make my father hand it over."

"But I am different. I am no longer the manager of the Mittel Auction House."

Hearing Emil's words, realization flashed through Jialie Ao's eyes.

"Then why should I work with you?"

Jialie Ao stared fixedly at Emil across from him.

To him, Emil's greatest value was that he had a Dou Ling father.

"I know a great deal of information about Xiao Yang."

"I can even help you secretly capture Xiao Yang from within the Xiao Clan!"

Xiao Clan, Xiao Yang's small courtyard.

"Teacher, what do you think of these materials?"

Xiao Yang sat before Yao Lao and Xiao Yan, taking out all the ingredients for the Marrow Cleansing Pill that he had acquired during this period.

With a thought from Yao Lao, his soul force swept over the medicinal ingredients.

"Not bad. The quality of these ingredients is up to standard."

"Now, only the final Ice Soul Snow Lotus is missing, right?"

Yao Lao stroked his beard, his eyes carrying a hint of surprise as he looked at Xiao Yang.

He had not expected that in such a short time, Xiao Yang had nearly gathered all the ingredients for the Marrow Cleansing Pill!

One had to know that even the great families in the Imperial Capital of the Jia Ma Empire might need many years to gather the ingredients for a sixth-grade pill.

Not only that, they would have to pay an enormous price.

Yet Xiao Yang had used only a few months. Apart from a single Ice Soul Snow Lotus, he had gathered everything else!

Even Yao Lao could not help sighing at how deep Xiao Yang's good fortune was.

Originally, he had thought that Xiao Yang might not have a chance to gather the ingredients for the Marrow Cleansing Pill even after reaching the Battler or even Da Dou Shi realm.

After all, these medicinal ingredients were all extremely precious.

Yet Xiao Yang had nearly gathered them in only a few months!

At this rate, Xiao Yang might even consume the Marrow Cleansing Pill while still at the Dou Zhe stage!

When that time came, Xiao Yang's cultivation talent would no longer hold him back too much!
