Shangguan Qingping was stunned when he heard his master say that he wanted to destroy Zhou Bin, the lord of Baijiang City.
This matter was of great importance. He heard from others that the man surnamed Zhou was very powerful and Bai Feichen was no match for him at all.
His current level was at best slightly better than Bai Feichen, but he was still a high-level warrior.
It is extremely difficult to defeat Zhou Bin.
Therefore, Shangguan Qingping said unhappily: "How dare you! That Zhou guy is so powerful, do you think I can be better than him?"
Fang Qingming hurriedly explained: "City Lord, isn't your senior brother Mr. Xu practicing on Wuming Mountain? He is a junior martial artist. You can ask him for help, maybe it can be helped."
Shangguan Qingping was stunned: "You mean my senior brother? He..."
Shangguan Qingping fell into deep thought. His senior brother Xu Yang was indeed a powerful figure and was unrivaled in several nearby towns.
Unfortunately, this person is greedy and insatiable by nature. If you dare to ask him for help, he will ask for an exorbitant amount of money, which most people cannot afford.
This is why Shangguan Qingping never went to find him. He would rather settle these things by himself than go to him, because he was afraid that he would ask for too much.
Now that the master mentioned him again, Shangguan Qingping couldn't help but be moved.
After all, if this matter can be accomplished, it will be a once-and-for-all solution and a way to make a fortune.
He is now drooling over the salt factory in Baijiang City; it is a cash cow!
After much thought, Shangguan Qingping decided to spend a lot of money this time to invite this old guy down.
At that time, the worst that can happen is that I give him a hundred gold leaves and see if he can resist it?
Thinking of this, Shangguan Qingping decided to give it a try and take Baijiang City into his possession to save himself from being so depressed.
He immediately nodded in agreement, then packed up and headed for Wuming Mountain.
At the same time, Wu Junze, the lord of Beidi City, was also conspiring with his men to seize Baijiang City, and Yang Zhenshan, the lord of Qianshan City, was also plotting to deal with Zhou Bin and take over Baijiang City.
They all thought of the same idea, which was to take advantage of the auction opportunity to suddenly attack Zhou Bin, eliminate him in one fell swoop, and then seize Baijiang City.
Because Zhou Bin would basically be present on this day, according to their subordinates, Zhou Bin looked ordinary and probably did not have much martial power.
However, these city lords were not familiar with how Zhou Bin became the new city lord, and they were all high-level warriors, so they did not take Zhou Bin seriously.
As several city lords intensified their conspiracy, the news actually leaked out.
Zhang Hengkun had acquaintances in these places and had figured out all the situations.
He hurried to find Zhou Bin, looking very panicked.
Zhou Bin was reading in the room. When he found out that it was Zhang Hengkun, he immediately asked, "Mr. Zhang, what happened?"
Zhang Hengkun closed the door and said nervously, "City Lord, this is bad. We are in big trouble!"
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Don't worry, tell me slowly, what's the problem?"
Zhang Hengkun immediately reported what he had heard to Zhou Bin. Zhou Bin was stunned at first, then laughed: "Really? Then don't blame me for being ruthless."
Zhang Hengkun said nervously, "City Lord, this is no joke. If several of them attack us together, what should we do?"
Zhou Bin laughed and said, "They just wanted our salt. It seems that the people in this place are completely immoral! We want to do business properly, but they want to take away our things. They are really a group of beasts!"
Zhang Hengkun sighed, "City Lord, you don't know, this is not just the case in this place, the whole world is like this. Even among those cultivators, how many of them are reasonable? They only follow the rule of force, and we ordinary people are like ants, how can we have the right to resist. If you hadn't come, I don't know if I would still be alive now."
Zhou Bin sighed. Ever since he came into this world in a daze, he had already seen clearly that this was a world where the strong preyed on the weak.
All morality and kindness are useless here, everyone speaks on strength, and there is no chance for the weak to survive.
Zhou Bin's thoughts also gradually changed. He still hoped to be moral when dealing with ordinary people, but he would not be polite to those who believed in the law of the jungle.
Now that these people have evil intentions, Zhou Bin doesn't need to be polite to them. He can just catch them all in one fell swoop and see how long they can be so arrogant!
Thinking of this, Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. Even if all of them come, it will be a piece of cake for me. Just wait and see!"
Seeing that Zhou Bin didn't care at all, Zhang Hengkun asked anxiously: "City Lord, should we prepare in advance and let the city defense troops wait in secret?"
Zhou Bin waved his hand and smiled, "No, a few ants, no need."
Zhang Hengkun was secretly shocked in his heart, because those city lords were all high-level warriors and dominated the area.
The city lord actually said that they were ants. This is really too arrogant.
But the city lord had already spoken, so he had nothing to say and had to leave with a heavy heart.
Five days passed quickly and the auction day arrived.
Zhou Bin and Zhang Hengkun arrived at the scene early in the morning, ready to welcome guests from all parties.
At this time, Shangguan Qingping from Yulu City led a group of people in, and an old man followed him.
Zhou Bin noticed at a glance that the old man was a martial artist and should be quite skilled in fighting.
The old man also glanced at Zhou Bin with a look of contempt on his face.
