When the group of people had completely gone away, Long Xuan boldly walked towards the battlefield, ready to see if there was any leakage that could be picked up.

The group of people were in a hurry when they left, and it was possible that they might have missed something important and not taken it away.

As soon as he arrived at the battlefield, he was immediately shocked by the horrific battle scene. The ground was riddled with holes due to the battle, and he didn't know how many huge craters were stepped on.

Many Gu cultivators were directly trampled to death, and the shape of their corpses was unbearable to look at.

If he hadn't killed enough people, he might have vomited when he saw this scene for the first time.

He calmed down and stopped looking at the strange corpses. He was ready to clean up the battlefield immediately and leave as soon as possible after touching the corpses.

The fat man called the Third Young Master was obviously the fattest, so Long Xuan subconsciously walked towards him first.

Seeing this fat man with torn clothes and blood all over his body, Long Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

Not long ago, he was showing off his wealth arrogantly at Heavenly Moon City. Now, he is being targeted by those who hate the rich, right? Did he ever think at that time that he would end up like this after showing off his wealth?

Long Xuan shook his head and took a careful look at the third young master from top to bottom, and soon found progress on his chest and under his clothes.

He was overjoyed that there really was a treasure missing, so he immediately reached out to the thief.

However, as soon as he put his hand into the fat man's clothes, the fat man's closed eyes suddenly opened and looked at him with wide eyes.

This scene would probably scare a person half to death.

Long Xuan Unexpectedly, this corpse suddenly turned out to be a corpse. He was not mentally prepared. He was really startled when he was caught off guard. He immediately took several big steps back in shock.

His heart was beating wildly, and he looked at the third young master with great surprise. This third young master was not completely dead, but was alive again.

Are you kidding me? Those people were so meticulous in their actions that they managed to leave someone alive. Don't they know how to do last-minute damage? How could they make such a low-level mistake?

"Ahem!"

The Third Young Master coughed a few mouthfuls of blood, looked at him with a pale face, and said feebly, "I disappoint you, I'm still alive, don't look at my Dantian being destroyed, but it's not difficult to kill you, if you know what's going on, just retreat, I'll pretend this never happened."

After Long Xuan calmed down his frightened heart, he asked curiously, "What is hidden in your clothes should be a storage ring, right? I didn't expect that you didn't put all the treasures in Three-Legged Golden Toad's belly."

"I believe that a Duobao businessman has many trump cards and something that can threaten me."

"What I'm just curious about is how on earth you faked your own death and deceived those people?"

"That group of people didn't do any last-ditch damage to you, and they even forgot to check the storage ring in your clothes."

"If it were me, I would definitely burn the person to ashes after killing him. Otherwise, even if the enemy didn't fake his death, there might be enough clues on the body to know my identity."

"It is easy to deduce the identity of the perpetrator from the wounds on the corpse. How could those people make such a stupid mistake?"

Long Xuan's mind changed rapidly. Although he was wary of this Duobao businessman, he still did not retreat immediately.

Because he needs Three-Legged Golden Toad's Gu Recipe, and while the third young master is weak, the strongest Three-Legged Golden Toad is also dead, which is the perfect opportunity to find Three-Legged Golden Toad Gu Recipe. How can he retreat easily?

If he doesn't seize this opportunity today, it will be difficult for him to collect Three-Legged Golden Toad and Gu Recipe.

The power of the Qian Clan Merchant Association is far stronger than that of the Long Family. How can Gu Recipe of Three-Legged Golden Toad make decisions so easily.

"Haha." The third young master smiled miserably and said with a pale face, "Do you really think they can be so stupid?"

"I tell you, there are no stupid people in this world, because stupid people simply cannot survive in this world."

"If they were really stupid, how could they have planned such a perfect assassination plan and almost killed me."

"Throughout the entire history, there are not many people who have succeeded in assassinating Duobao merchants, but they succeeded."

The third young master showed anger, his eyes released a fierce light, and he said with hatred, "The reason why I can survive is not because they are stupid, but entirely because they deliberately want to save my life!"

"It's useless for me to eat Feign-Death Pill. What a smart person would do is crush the body and spread it into ashes. How can we give Qian Clan a chance to find the murderer?"

"Haha! You could kill me, but you didn't. You just destroyed my Dantian. Do you really think I'm easy to deceive?"

"My good brothers really regard me as a fool. If an outsider takes action, they will kill me. Only my own clan will take action against me and I will be spared my life."

"It's not because they have good intentions and care about brotherhood, but because they are too cautious in doing things. They want to leave a way out for themselves, considering the risk of the incident coming to light."

"There is no airtight wall for anything in the world, and killing a fellow human being and attacking a fellow human being are two completely different sentencings."

"Killing a fellow human being will pay for one's life, regardless of one's talent or status, but attacking one's own family without paying for one's life will not lead to death, and you may even be fine after a while."

"They were afraid of the risk of death, so they took away my Dantian and left me alive."

"And as long as I become a useless person, I will no longer be able to compete for the position of the head of the family. Whether I live or die has little impact on them. I was lucky enough to save my life."

"Haha! My good brothers, you are still not decisive enough in doing things. You don't want to eradicate me because you are afraid of death."

"I really think that once I become a useless person and Lineage takes back my rights, I won't be able to do anything to them? How naive!"

The Third Young Master clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and roared with overwhelming hatred.

Hearing this, Long Xuan finally understood.

It turned out to be a fratricidal drama staged to compete for the position of the head of the family.

This scene is so common in Lineage, even in the Long Family, it happens from time to time. The person named Long Buhui was imprisoned in Sacred Tree Grounds because of this, and guarded Sacred Tree for a long time.

This Qian Clan Merchant Association family has a great business, and the situation of fratricide among brothers fighting for the position of the head of the family is probably even more serious.

The current head of the Qian Clan family has given birth to more than ten outstanding geniuses at once, and there are more than ten candidates for the head of the family at once, making their family even more chaotic.

Qian Clan, the wise head of the family, also delegated power to each candidate for the head of the family, letting each of them take charge of a place. In the end, whoever earns the most wealth will be the next head of the family.

Although this method can definitely select the best family leader, the disadvantages are equally obvious.

That is, the power held by each candidate for the head of the family is too great. Everyone has wealth that can rival the country, and everyone can produce infinite destructive power.

If the more than ten candidates for the head of the family are not handled well, it is very likely to cause civil strife in the Qian Clan, and even cause Qian Clan to suffer a heavy blow.

Now Qian Clan has begun to become chaotic, and we don't know what kind of crisis it will eventually lead to. Qian Jinjin, who is also one of the candidates for the head of the family, can survive this crisis safely.

Long Xuan began to think wildly. At this time, he was wondering whether he could grab Three-Legged Golden Toad's Gu Recipe directly from the third young master by force.

Although he is currently in a weak state and is inconvenient to take action, the combat effectiveness of his five clones is terrifying.

Now that the third young master has been severely injured, and the strongest Three-Legged Golden Toad is also dead, this is definitely a golden opportunity.

Although he is a Duobao businessman and must have many powerful cards, Long Xuan is conceited and has a greater chance of winning.

However, not long after this idea came up, he quickly gave up.

It's not that he's worried about not being able to defeat the Third Young Master, it's simply because he has the same mentality as the mastermind who assassinated the Third Young Master and is worried that the incident will be exposed and then be hunted down by the Qian Clan Merchant Association.

He must consider the consequences carefully. He has always been cautious by nature and would never do anything risky.

Qian Clan Merchant Association spans all major regions and controls countless wealth. There are many powerful people in the clan. The number of Gu King may be countless, and it is definitely not something he can offend now.

He can never guarantee that after he kills someone, Qian Clan Merchant Association people will not be able to find him.

How could he dare to guarantee something that the other candidates for the head of the family who had taken action against the Third Young Master did not dare to guarantee it? He was not that arrogant.

The Gu Insect in this world are full of strange things, and each one has more incredible abilities than the last.

So never think that you have done it cleanly.

For example, Gu Insect, who has the ability of divination or prophecy in this world, may directly predict who the murderer is. No matter how clean he is, what's the use?

Therefore, out of caution, Long Xuan did not have the intention to kill people and seize the treasure, but planned to obtain his Three-Legged Golden Toad Gu Recipe through trading.

It is impossible for any family to trade with the unique Gu Recipe, but nothing is absolute.

If it were in the past, no matter how much wealth he had, the Third Young Master would never be able to trade Lineage's unique Gu Recipe.

But now it is different from the past. Third Young Master Dantian has been destroyed. His path of cultivation in this life has been completely ruined. No Gu cultivator can accept the result of becoming a waste.

But what if something that can repair his Dantian appears at this time? In order to regain his life and revenge, will he betray Lineage's interests and choose to trade with Lineage's unique Gu Recipe?

Long Xuan feels that it is very likely that the Third Young Master will choose to trade. Not only him, but most people in the world will choose to trade when encountering this kind of situation.

People are selfish. They can't afford to live anymore. How can they consider so much? Who can bear to be a waste for a lifetime?

Since he didn't plan to kill people and seize the treasure, he had no choice but to come up with Heaven-Mending Pill. Long Xuan took a deep breath and said immediately, "How about we make a deal?"

"I have something that can repair you Dantian, but you have to trade Three-Legged Golden Toad for Gu Recipe."

"I can assure you that I only use Three-Legged Golden Toad Gu Recipe for reference. I will never practice Gu Insect like Three-Legged Golden Toad."

"And as long as I don't refine this kind of Gu Insect, your leakage of Lineage's unique Gu Recipe will never be discovered. You can trade with me with confidence and boldness."

Long Xuan's words, as expected, immediately made the Third Young Master's eyes widen, his breathing quickened, and he looked at him as if he wanted to eat someone. He said with great emotion, "Are you serious? Do you really have a magic weapon that can repair Dantian?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! You are lying to me. As the person in charge of the Qian Clan Merchant Association, I have handled countless treasures and am the most knowledgeable person, but I have never seen any pill that can repair Dantian."

"Don't say I've seen it, I've never heard of it. The pill that can repair Dantian is unheard of. You must be lying to me!"

The Third Young Master shook his head crazily, not believing that there was such a pill in this world. How could it be such a coincidence that just after he was crippled, someone happened to have something to repair him Dantian. What a coincidence.

If this kind of elixir really existed, he would have been dead by now. How dare the enemy just destroy his Dantian.

It was because Dantian was crippled in this world that it was impossible to repair him, and he had completely lost the ability to make a comeback, so his opponent spared his life.

But even though he believed that the news must be false, he still looked at Long Xuan with expectant eyes, wanting to believe it, but not believing it, and was extremely torn.
