"Is he that powerful?" Li Yixing asked in surprise, then gritted his teeth and said, "That Ye Xingchen is a major obstacle to our operation. That kid is really too nosy. We absolutely cannot let him get away with this."
"Haha, you can rest assured." Huang Tai said smugly, "There's no one that Master Guli can't handle. After all, the title of Southeast Asia's number one sorcerer isn't for nothing."
"Of course, Jinluo City is truly a wonderful place. Even someone like Master Guli is willing to serve Jinluo City," Li Yixing complimented.
“Of course, our Jinluo City is stronger than an independent country. There are many powerful people in it who are willing to serve us.” Huang Tai was even more proud: “From now on, you and President Zhou are on the same side. If there is anything you can’t solve, just ask. It’s just a matter of a word from our Young Master Jin.”
"Alright, thank you, Young Master Huang. From now on, we'll all be counting on you. As long as my brother-in-law takes over Yun City, this place will be ours." Li Yixing laughed heartily, appearing extremely excited.
After all, his relationship with Zhou Minggan was much better than that with Zhou Kunsheng.
Just then, a loud bang came from the basement...
"What's wrong?" Li Yixing was startled. He stood up abruptly and looked in surprise toward the basement.
He knew that Master Guli was in the basement. He had gone in to perform a ritual against Ye Xingchen and had been there for quite some time.
"Don't panic, let's see what's going on?" Huang Tai's expression also changed slightly. He put down the cup in his hand and stared in the direction of the basement.
The girls around Huang Tai also widened their eyes and looked curiously into the basement.
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense. Suddenly, with a loud bang, the basement door shattered into pieces, and a cloud of green mist billowed out from inside.
The lights in the room dimmed all at once, filling the entire room with a ghastly green hue. At the same time, a series of grotesque laughs and cries rang out, and the once luxurious private room instantly transformed into a living hell.
The girls working as hostesses inside the room screamed in fright, and some of them reacted quickly and ran away.
However, the green mist suddenly rose up and transformed into a curtain wall. Several girls suddenly floated in mid-air, their bodies and arms bending backward as if their arms were forcibly locked.
As they struggled and screamed, the five girls' bodies aged at a visible rate. Then their bodies withered and weathered away, turning into five skeletons that fell from mid-air.
*Thud*... Several skeletons fell and shattered into pieces.
At this moment, Master Guli slowly walked out of the basement. His expression was gloomy, and he opened his mouth wide and took a deep breath into the air.
The green mist in mid-air turned into a straight line and was inhaled into his mouth. After inhaling the mist, Gulifali's expression improved slightly.
He exhaled a breath of black smoke from his nostrils, then opened his eyes.
"Master, what happened?" Huang Tai asked, noticing that Gu Li's expression seemed rather unpleasant.
"My poison box has been broken into." Gu Li's expression grew increasingly grim.
"Master, your strength is very strong, and you are always infallible. Has something unexpected happened this time?" Huang Tai was taken aback, and his expression began to become somewhat uncertain.
“The other party is a master.” Gu Li’s tone was icy, and his sinister eyes glanced at Li Yixing: “At least a cultivator, otherwise, would he have broken my poison box so easily?”
Why didn't you clarify his identity beforehand?
"I... I didn't know he was a cultivator, Young Master Huang, a sorcerer. I really didn't know. I only knew that this person was very powerful. I heard Minggan say that he could summon a Yin coffin." Li Maoxing started to panic: "I also said that this person was very powerful, and it has nothing to do with me."
"Is there any loss of magical power?" Huang Tai's expression darkened.
"No, it's just that I didn't expect the other party to be a cultivator. I underestimated him and had my curse broken." Master Guli said sinisterly, "But it doesn't matter. Once I find him, I'll kill him directly."
"Master, how confident are you?" Huang Tai squinted his eyes.
“Seventy percent.” After thinking for a moment, Master Guli gave an affirmative answer.
“Seventy percent…” Huang Tai’s expression suddenly became somewhat inscrutable.
Honestly, given Master Guli's arrogance, he only dares to say he's 70% confident, so the person he's dealing with this time is probably no ordinary person.
He knew how powerful this Guli mage was; he was very strong and could cast spells on people, causing them to die inexplicably.
More importantly, this guy is extremely arrogant, and he doesn't take anyone who is even slightly better than him seriously.
Now, facing Ye Xingchen, Master Guli only said he was 70% confident, so his actual confidence was probably less than 50%.
"That's right, seventy percent. Let me absorb more of the life essence of living people and refine my ghost servants more, and I'll be able to deal with him. A mere Chinese cultivator is nothing to worry about," Gu Li said proudly.
“Okay, I understand.” Huang Tai nodded slowly and smiled. “President Li, you stay here with the monk for a while. I have a small matter to attend to and will be right back.”
"Is there anything you need to do, Young Master Huang? Is there anything I can do for you?" Li Yixing asked quickly.
"No need, there's nothing I need you to do. I'll be right back. Also, contact Zhou Minggan and see how things are going," Huang Tai chuckled.
“Okay, I’ll contact Minggan now and see how things are going with him.” Li Yixing nodded.
He could tell that Huang Tai was trying to find an excuse to leave, but he didn't know why he wanted to leave.
Huang Tai stood up and hurriedly left. Li Yixing faced the several withered corpses in the room and Gu Lifali, who was so thin that he was almost just skin and bones. He was somewhat at a loss.
However, sitting there idly wasn't a solution, so he mustered his courage, poured a glass of wine for Master Guli, and said with a fawning smile, "Master, I'd like to offer you a toast. As for Ye Xingchen's matter... we'll still need your help."
Master Guli glanced at him expressionlessly, a glance that terrified Huang Tai so much that he wet himself. He desperately tried to figure out if he had done something wrong.
“I practice black magic, so I can’t let the poison dissipate. Are you trying to harm me by making me drink alcohol?” Master Guli said sinisterly.
"Ah? This, this, I didn't know if I could drink alcohol, I'm sorry, Master." Li Yixing was startled.
Honestly, he didn't want to deal with people like Gu Li because the guy had a sinister vibe that made him feel very uncomfortable.
