Qingshan County Li Mansion.
In the study room in the inner courtyard, candlelight flickered.
Li Canghai was sitting behind the desk, holding a blue and white porcelain cup in his hand. The tea in the cup had completely cooled down.
"Are you sure you've made it to the semi-finals?"
The guard in black standing in front of the case lowered his head. "Reporting to the head of the family, it is absolutely true, that Jiang Fa defeated Liu Family Liu Mang today with Cloak Saber Technique Perfection. The whole audience was in an uproar. Now he is tied for the top four with Wang Yanzhi, Li Kunlun, and Lu Jiu."
Li Canghai's hand paused slightly.
"Knife technique Perfection."
He murmured and repeated these four words, and suddenly raised his head, with a chilling light in his seemingly gentle eyes.
"Didn't the previous information say that he only has boxing skills Perfection?"
"Master, it was true before, but no one would have thought that this boy would actually hide his strength."
The voice of the guard in black was a little lower. "In the martial arts competition, I first defeated Gu Qingyan with Mountain-Breaking Fist Perfection, and then defeated Liu Mang with Cloak Saber Technique Perfection. Combined with his physical skills Major Accomplishment, his strength is far beyond our previous expectations."
"Heh."
Li Canghai's eyes showed a look of thought.
"One Perfection can be said to have extremely high understanding. Two Perfections. In these Qingshan Countys, when has there ever been such a person in so many years?"
The guard in black was silent.
"Where are the people from the Blood Wolf Gang?"
Li Canghai suddenly changed the topic.
"Ding Wanshan's side... has already killed four of them: Lang Four, Wolf Five, Wolf Six, and Wolf Three. Now he also wants to get rid of this kid. According to what he said, he gave the task of killing this kid to the strongest Lang Jiu."
The black-clothed guard hesitated for a moment, then added, "Lang Jiu is now in the Qingshan Martial Arts Tournament under the alias Lu Jiu, and has entered the top four. Ding Wanshan means... let him deal with that kid in an honest and fair manner in the ring."
Li Canghai said nothing.
He stood up, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and opened half of the window.
The night breeze rushed in, bringing with it a refreshing coolness.
"Lang Jiu? How much do you know about this person."
The black-clothed guard thought for a moment and said, "Lang Jiu grew up in the Blood Wolf Gang. He secretly went to Qingyang Prefecture three years ago, and then entered Bibo Lake to practice martial arts with 'Mr. Qiu Shui'. In three years, his strength improved by leaps and bounds, and An Jin has no opponent at its peak. Ding Wanshan sent a message saying that even in the early stages of ordinary Transforming Force, Lang Jiu can still be undefeated within fifty moves."
"In other words, we are absolutely certain about this matter?"
Li Canghai raised his eyebrows.
The guard in black bowed his head respectfully. "Yes."
Li Canghai looked at the moon half-covered by thin clouds outside the window and was silent for a long time.
After the martial arts meeting is over, Jiang Fa's performance will inevitably attract the attention of the three major sects in Fucheng. By then, not to mention the Blood Wolf Gang, even the Li family will not be able to take action easily.
If you want to kill him again, it will only be more difficult.
Li Canghai spoke slowly, "Have you sold all that batch of goods?"
That batch of goods naturally refers to the batch of dark iron gold that was robbed from the Lin Lineage mine a few days ago.
"Reporting to the owner of the family, it has been transported to Fucheng in batches through the secret line of the black market. It will be eaten by several weapons shops in Qingyang Prefecture in the near future. The total price is about sixteen thousand taels."
The black-clothed guard said.
"Hmm."
Li Canghai nodded, with little emotion on his face. "Lin Lineage, what's going on over there?"
The black-clothed guard bowed and said, "Lin Lineage There has been chaos in the past few days, and martial law has been imposed inside and outside the trading house. Mr. Lin personally took charge and sent a large number of people to search the mountains for traces. He also relied on his connections with the county government to arrest him. We tried our best to investigate, but our people's hands and feet were clean and did not leave any traces pointing to the Li family. According to my opinion, even if Lin Lineage is suspicious, it can only be a headless fly and cannot be found on our head."
Li Canghai nodded slightly, walked back to the case, and said calmly, "The past few months have not been in vain. Ever since Lin Zhengtang made a mistake while drunk, we have been keeping an eye on Black Wind Ridge and lost a few good players before we found out the specific location of the mineral vein. Fortunately, Lin Lineage only cares about protecting the outside and cannot protect his own home."
The black-clothed guard whispered, "The head of the family has been strategizing. This time he not only seized the mineral vein, but also severely damaged Lin Lineage's vitality. Lin Zhengtang still thinks that we are just trying to make money. If we need him to do things in the future, it should not be difficult."
"Him?" Li Canghai sneered, his eyes full of disdain. "How useful can a thing that can even betray his own brother be? Keeping him is just to hand over a knife at the critical moment. When Lin Lineage is completely defeated, if he knows the situation, reward him with a mouthful of food. If he doesn't, just deal with him together."
The guard in black bowed his head and said yes.
Li Canghai picked up a wolf hair on the pen holder and unconsciously turned it around on his fingertips.
"Send a message to Ding Wanshan and tell Lang Jiu that the boy's life must be preserved in the arena tomorrow."
The guard in black felt a chill in his heart and said respectfully, "Yes."
"Go ahead."
The guard in black bowed and retreated, and the sound of his footsteps quickly disappeared into the night outside the courtyard.
Li Canghai's eyes fell on the cup of cool tea on the table.
He never looked down on anyone.
Back then, he was able to gain a foothold in the complex Qingshan County because of his caution.
He picked up the teacup, raised his head and drank half of the herbal tea in one gulp. The cold tea slid down his throat and into his stomach, allowing his wandering thoughts to condense for a moment.
"No matter what, you will definitely die in tomorrow's martial arts competition."
Li Canghai's eyes revealed an almost tangible murderous intent.
Boulder Martial Hall,
Shi Chongshan sat on the main seat,
On the left is Li Kunlun, and on the right is a lean middle-aged man named Shi Zhenshan, who is Shi Chongshan's younger brother.
Shi Zhenshan rarely showed up in the museum on weekdays. Most of the time he walked outside and took care of some shady business for Shi Chongshan.
Now the martial arts meeting was in full swing, but Shi Chongshan called him back from outside the city with a flying letter.
"Brother, I didn't expect that in this Qingshan Martial Arts Competition, the three major sects would be willing to give out a middle-level Xuan-level martial arts as a prize."
Shi Zhenshan clicked his tongue.
"Although middle-grade Xuan level martial arts is good, it is not worth mentioning to the three major sects."
"In this Qingshan martial arts competition, except for the Wang Family Wang Yanzhi and Rogue Cultivator Lu Jiu, who has an unknown origin, there is no one else to be afraid of. As for the Zhao Clan Martial Hall..."
Shi Chongshan opened his eyes with a serious look on his face. "Qin Xuan Although this child has a good foundation, he is still a bit tender after all, but that Jiang Fa..."
He paused and lightly traced his finger on the table.
"Since we have become enemies with the Zhao Clan Martial Hall, we must get rid of him as soon as possible."
"Brother, no matter how good Jiang Fa is, it's just Late Dark Force." Shi Zhenshan said doubtfully, "Kunlun is already at the peak of An Jin, and he has many trump cards at his side. Not to mention one Jiang Fa, even if two are tied together, I'm afraid it won't be enough for Kunlun to hold with one hand."
"What do you know."
There was a sinister look in Shi Chongshan's eyes.
"This guy has only been in the gym for more than a year, and he has gone from being an ordinary person to Late Dark Force, a master of boxing and swordsmanship, Perfection. With this kind of understanding, if you put it into Qingshan County for nearly fifty years, can you find another one?"
