September 7th.
At this moment, everyone in Northern Di City knew that the true owner of Cold Mountain Pharmacy was about to return, and they were extremely surprised. They had always thought that the head of Cold Mountain Pharmacy was Ziyi, but they never expected that it was someone else!
"Have you heard? The true owner of Cold Mountain Pharmacy is coming back. Do you think the Ziyi Hall Master will really hand over this empire to someone else?"
"If it were me, I definitely wouldn't agree. Who dares to challenge the prestige of the Ziyi Hall Master at the Cold Mountain Pharmacy? Now, suddenly a new master appears, and we don't even know what kind of person he is!"
"I think so too! Who do you think this suddenly appearing owner is?"
"We've been hearing about him, but it seems like nobody's ever actually seen him. Only the highest levels of the organization know about him. How dare we inquire about this? Are we courting death?"
At this moment, a cold-looking young man dressed in black sat by the window of the restaurant, carefully listening to these idle gossips. A cold glint appeared in his eyes. "The owner of Cold Mountain Pharmacy? I wonder how much longer he can keep it up!"
After saying that, the young man in black threw down a few taels of silver and then turned into a blur and left, heading towards the direction of Cold Mountain Pharmacy. Needless to say, this person was Wang Jiao, the young master of the Dark Hall!
In the Dark Hall.
Wang Jiao slowly walked into a large hall, cupped his hands, and said, "Your child greets Father!"
Upon hearing this, the Viper raised an eyebrow. "Didn't I tell you to stay home and reflect on your actions? You actually ran out; aren't you afraid of dying?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jiao's lips curled slightly. "Don't worry! No one will know who I am. You can trust me to do things. Staying at home all day is so boring!"
The Viper narrowed its eyes slightly upon seeing this. "You suddenly came to see me! Is something the matter?"
Wang Jiao smiled slightly upon hearing this, raised his teacup, took a sip, and glanced at the guards. Seeing this, Viper raised his arm slightly, signaling them to leave. "Speak! What is it?"
Wang Jiao chuckled lightly upon hearing this, "It's nothing! I just wanted to find out who the owner of the Cold Mountain Pharmacy is!"
Upon hearing this, the Viper's face darkened, and he transmitted his voice, "Why are you asking about him, brat?"
Wang Jiao was surprised to hear his father speak to him so solemnly. He replied in a telepathic message, "I just want to know, this guy is only a few years older than me, so why is he allowed to be the owner of Cold Mountain Pharmacy? Just because he's a Grandmaster? I won't say anything else, but I know you've already advanced to the Grandmaster level, Father!"
Upon hearing this, the Viper's face darkened considerably. "You can say that to me, but if anyone else hears it, even I can't protect you! He is the owner of the Cold Mountain Pharmacy, and that's what I believe too! Don't mention this again!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jiao's face was filled with resentment. He gritted his teeth and said, "Why?! We risked our lives to build this Cold Mountain Pharmacy. This guy comes back and takes everything away. I won't accept this!"
Upon hearing this, the Viper's face turned ashen, and he slapped the boy hard across the face. "You unfilial son! Do you know what you're saying?! Do you know how powerful his methods are?! His strength is terrifyingly formidable; ten of me wouldn't be a match for him!"
Wang Jiao was extremely shocked upon hearing this. He hadn't expected this young man to be so strong. However, the thought of handing over the empire they had worked so hard to build made him extremely resentful.
"I believe that the Ziyi Hall Master is also dissatisfied. She is extremely powerful and is also at the Grandmaster level. With her and you here, I believe we can definitely kill him! Then this Cold Mountain Pharmacy will be ours!"
Upon hearing this, Viper sighed, "Don't even think about it! Ziyi wouldn't think that way! Besides, even if I team up with her, we're no match for him. We'd be dead in no time!"
Wang Jiao's pupils constricted upon hearing this. "This... this is too outrageous! Who exactly is he?!"
Upon hearing this, the Viper shook his head. "Jiao'er! You have talent, but your experience is still too shallow. There are many powerful people in this world. Your father is nothing. If you want to know who he is, I can tell you. He is Li Changfeng! I believe you have heard of his great name!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jiao's pupils shrank to pinpoints. "Is it... is it Li Changfeng was tied for first place on the Human Rankings back then?!"
Upon hearing this, the Viper nodded. "That's right! He's no longer on the Human Rankings! He's seventy-eighth on the Earth Ranking. Do you think he's that strong? And what you don't know is that he fought his way back to build the Cold Mountain Pharmacy. We were just helping him develop it!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jiao's expression suddenly calmed down. "I understand! I will take my leave now!"
After saying that, Wang Jiao turned around without another word and slowly walked out of the hall. His calm face suddenly turned ferocious as he thought to himself, "Li Changfeng! If I can't deal with you, someone else will!"
Seeing this, the Viper sighed, "Jiao'er is still too inexperienced. I hope he can learn from this experience and broaden his horizons."
Late at night.
The Wind and Rain Pavilion.
At this moment, a young man dressed in black and masked suddenly arrived. The two guards from the Wind and Rain Pavilion frowned upon seeing him. "What do you want?"
"I have some information I'd like to share with you, Wind and Rain Pavilion! I wonder if I could arrange a meeting with one of your elders?"
"It's late now, so our elders should rest. If you have any news, you can tell us first, and we'll pass it on!"
"It's big news! But... I don't trust you guys!"
The two guards' eyes turned cold upon hearing this. "What do you mean by this! Are you looking down on us?"
The young man in black shook his head upon hearing this. "You simply have no right to know!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the two guards' faces turned cold, and they were about to attack the young man in black when suddenly a voice came from inside the door, "Let him in!"
The two guards, their faces filled with reluctance, bowed and said, "We obey!"
The young man in black sneered and bumped into them as he walked over, infuriating the two men. They gritted their teeth and glared coldly at the young man in black!
At this moment, the young man in black slowly walked into the Wind and Rain Pavilion. He saw an old man in white sitting there with an oil lamp lit. When the young man in black saw the old man's face, he was immediately startled.
The old man had a sallow complexion, only a few sparse strands of hair, and was skin and bones, looking extremely eerie in the dim light!
"I am Elder Tu of the Wind and Rain Pavilion! What information do you have to sell?"
The young man in black pondered for a moment, then asked, "Do you know Li Changfeng?"
Elder Tu's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this. "You have news about him?"
The young man in black nodded upon hearing this. "Not bad!"
"Then what do you need?"
Upon hearing this, the young man in black gritted his teeth. "I don't need anything! I'll sell you this information. All you need to do is use your intelligence network to pass messages to the Azure City Sect, Meteor Sect, Divine Fist Gate, Iron Palm Gang, and Gale Valley, telling them to come and kill him on the fifteenth of this month!"
Elder Tu narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this. "It seems you harbor a deep grudge against him! You're actually using a borrowed knife to kill him. I can help you with that! I didn't expect him to be the real person in charge of Northern Di City!"
