At this moment, Li Changfeng lay on the bed and thought to himself, "It seems that killing these heinous people not only didn't cause me any backlash, but also gave me a strange power that suppressed the murderous aura within me. Could this be an inherent effect of cultivating Buddhist techniques?"
"However, it seems that a murderous aura has also been absorbed into the demonic energy. It seems that only these sinful people can absorb this demonic energy, and it appears that the demonic energy has grown slightly stronger!"
Li Changfeng sighed slowly, his face full of worry. "Let's leave it at that for now! We'll take it one step at a time. First, I'll eliminate the resentment in my body, and then I'll go to my master to deal with the demonic energy within me!"
Afterwards, Li Changfeng sat up cross-legged and began his daily routine of reciting Buddhist scriptures to suppress the demonic and malevolent energy within his body.
At the same time.
The Viper Gang Leader, his face gloomy, soaked in the bathtub. Several beautiful women were massaging him, and as they massaged him, they sat on the tub and began to wriggle around, which made the Viper Gang Leader's face look much more relaxed and relieved a lot of his stress.
Half an hour later.
The Viper Gang Leader dismissed them, saying with a worried expression, "These two aren't so easily fooled! We need to think of a way!"
"With their informants, they must know that I led my core members to the Zhang Manor, and they probably also know that it has become a Blood Pool. However, it would be extremely inappropriate for me to go to them rashly!"
The Viper Gang Leader, deep in thought, slowly said, "How exactly can we lure them out to talk? These two old foxes will definitely need a lot of incentive to get them to come out!"
"If I use a self-inflicted injury to seriously injure myself, and then lie to them that we all fought that mysterious man to a standstill, and all my key members died, and then act a little crazy to lure them to kill that seriously injured mysterious man, I think they would believe me!"
The next morning.
The two people in charge of the Black Heart Inn and the Azure Brothel both received messages from the Viper Gang Leader. They were seen gathered in a secret room, discussing something with serious expressions.
The Black Heart Proprietor chuckled lightly, "Azure Pavilion Lord! What's your opinion on this matter?"
The Azure Pavilion Lord smiled slightly upon hearing this, "This matter is a bit strange. This Viper said that as long as we help him kill that young master, he will share all of that man's treasures with us! It's strange that he's targeting us two enemies; he could have easily targeted someone else with whom he has no grudge!"
The Black Heart Proprietor smiled and said, "I have already sent people to confirm that he and that young master did indeed fight to a standstill, and all his key members died at the young master's hands. He has completely lost his mind and only wants revenge."
"Also, he might feel that he is more familiar with us two old rivals than with others, and he doesn't know the strength of the others, so he took the risk of coming to us. Do you think that's believable, Azure Pavilion Lord?"
The Azure Pavilion Lord pondered for a moment after hearing this, and slowly said, "Black Heart Proprietor! What you said is indeed reasonable! I do covet what that young master has, but I always feel that something is not right!"
The Black Heart Proprietor frowned upon hearing this. "Azure Pavilion Lord! Do you feel something is amiss? Could you tell me?"
Upon hearing this, the Azure Pavilion Lord shook his head. "I can't say! My personal intuition tells me that this matter is not simple!"
The Black Heart Proprietor scoffed, "Intuition? Don't be ridiculous, Azure Pavilion Lord! This opportunity doesn't come often. If that old fox, Viper, realizes it, we'll miss it. I was planning to kill that young master with you and then make my move against him! Are you sure you don't want to go?"
Upon hearing this, the Azure Pavilion Lord hesitated for a moment, then resolutely said, "Go! You're right! This might be our only chance to trip up the Viper!"
At this moment, the Viper Gang Leader received their reply, his face beaming with joy. He chuckled sinisterly, "Heh heh! You really couldn't resist attacking me! This is perfect for luring you out with a clever plan!"
After saying that, the Viper Gang Leader turned into a blur and left, heading towards Li Changfeng's residence.
"You said you've lured them out? We'll meet at the Ten Li Pavilion outside the city at 11 PM!" Li Changfeng asked, slightly taken aback.
The Viper Gang Leader smiled slightly and cupped his hands, saying, "Reporting to my lord! This matter is absolutely true! I have received their reply, and I request that you review it!"
The Viper Gang Leader slowly handed the letter to Li Changfeng. Li Changfeng took it, examined it, gave him a deep look, and then tossed him a bottle of top-grade Greater Revitalizing Pill. "Your self-inflicted injury ruse worked well! Work hard for me! I won't treat you unfairly!"
The Viper Gang Leader was overjoyed upon receiving the pill and respectfully said, "Thank you for your generous gift, sir! I will certainly serve you well from now on!"
Li Changfeng nodded upon hearing this, "Go! We'll wait for them at the Ten Li Pavilion at the very end!"
"Yes, sir!!"
Ten Li Pavilion.
At this moment, the Viper Gang Leader sat in the pavilion, calmly sipping his wine, waiting for their arrival. Just as the time was about to end, the two figures appeared at the Ten Li Pavilion without any delay.
The Black Heart Proprietor smiled slightly, cupped his hands, and said, "Brother Viper! What a fine mood! May I have a few cups of wine with you?"
Upon hearing this, the Viper Gang Leader chuckled lightly, "Brother Blackheart! Please!"
The Azure Pavilion Lord frowned and slowly said, "Viper Gang Leader! All your core members have been killed, yet you still have the leisure to drink a little wine. I truly admire you!"
Upon hearing this, the Viper Gang Leader's face darkened. "Azure Pavilion Lord! I invited you here to plot against that brat together. What do you mean by mocking me? If you don't want to come, then please leave! I won't stop you!"
The Black Heart Proprietor chuckled, the last trace of doubt in his heart slowly dissipating. "Brother Viper! Don't be angry! That's just how the Azure Pavilion Lord is, don't take it to heart. Quickly! Green-Clad Sister! Quickly offer Brother Viper three cups of wine as punishment!"
Upon hearing this, the Azure Pavilion Lord in green bowed slightly, raised her wine cup apologetically, and said, "It's my fault! It wasn't out of kindness from the Viper Gang Leader. I'll toast you three cups!"
After the Azure Pavilion Lord drank three cups in a row, the Viper Gang Leader's expression softened slightly. "Fine! Since you've punished yourself with three cups, I won't stoop to your level. I'll let you do this business with me!"
Hidden in the shadows, Li Changfeng observed the situation of the Viper Gang Leader and chuckled, "This guy's acting is quite good! He's completely fooling these two old foxes!"
Upon hearing this, the Azure Pavilion Lord's eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent, and he laughed, "I wonder if the Viper Gang Leader knows where that young master is and what his strength is? We can discuss how to kill him!"
Upon hearing this, the Viper Gang Leader smiled slightly, slowly drank a small cup of wine, and sneered, "Him? Isn't he right here!"
