Chapter 72 Hostages
"Emperor Jiang?!" Even though his appearance had changed, the three of them could tell from the tone and intonation that it was Jiang Li's voice.
"Why are you here?"
"I heard that you were targeted by the Tiansha Pavilion, so I came to see what was going on." Jiang Li said with a smile.
"Huh? The Long family sent assassins to kill us?" The three were shocked. They didn't expect the Long family to be so costly.
"It's about killing you two. Song Ying has nothing to do with it." Jiang Li corrected.
The three of them understood that the Long family wanted to kill the master and disciple and forcibly take Song Ying.
"Tell me, how did you offend the local bully?" Jiang Li asked with interest.
Yuan Wuxing recounted the entire story from beginning to end from the perspective of an observer, with Qin Luan and Song Ying adding a few words from time to time.
"Now the Long family is guarding Longyin City and trying to kill us. Of course I can escape, but I don't have the confidence to protect Qin Luan and Song Ying."
"The Long family's God-transforming ancestors won't bother with such trivial matters. The Long family can only use Nascent Soul cultivators to kill us. They are worried that I will drag a Nascent Soul cultivator with me before I die, which is not worth the loss. Both the Long family and we are in a dilemma. I was still thinking about what they would do, but I didn't expect them to send assassins!"
In fact, Jiang Li had guessed most of what Yuan Wuxing had said at the beginning. It was an old story. The Long family abducted a girl, and the young man saw injustice and the conflict eventually escalated.
"You guys are still too honest and can't get rid of the habits of the Great Zhou. The Long family's affairs are easy to solve." Jiang Li said with a smile, "The Tianyuan Dynasty has its own rules. The strong are respected. If you are ruthless, use dirty tricks, and are unreasonable, you must learn to adapt to the local customs."
"You are the Emperor of Man, you have absolute power, of course you are not afraid of anything!" Qin Luan said dissatisfiedly and was scolded by Yuan Wuxing.
Jiang Li was not annoyed: "Then I will give you a test. I am now your friend in the Great Zhou, Huang Li, who is gifted, just like you, and has achieved the first-grade pill."
As Jiang Li spoke, the unfathomable feeling disappeared. Others saw him as just an ordinary cultivator. Yuan Wuxing also thought that he was a Jindan cultivator, and his Jindan was full and of high grade, among the top three Jindan. As for its specific grade, he couldn't tell, as that was something that only a Jindan cultivator could do.
"Watch how I do it." Jiang Li really only used the power of the Jindan stage, and did not use any means beyond the Jindan stage such as spiritual consciousness.
"Where does the third son of the Long family usually appear?"
Qin Luan thought for a moment, "I beat him so badly that he should be bedridden, but considering the Long family's financial resources, he should have been cured by magic medicine a long time ago. He is either bullying men and women in the downtown area or competing with others in a ring somewhere. I saw him snatching a woman in public in the downtown area."
Jiang Li nodded: "Then let's go to the downtown area. Wuxing, as a Yuanying elder, just follow us in secret."
Being called elder by Jiang Li scared Yuan Wuxing a lot.
Jiang Li took Qin Luan and Song Ying downstairs, and Yuan Wuxing followed secretly.
"Wear your veil." Qin Luan reminded Song Ying. He knew that Song Ying was beautiful and could easily cause trouble in Longyin City.
He had no experience at first, but after the incident with the Long family, Qin Luan knew he had to keep a low profile.
Song Ying gently covered half of her face with a white veil, and used the shadow created by a wide straw hat to block the other half of her face, so that no one would notice Song Ying's appearance.
"Speaking of which, why did Song Ying come here? Did she happen to come to the Tianyuan Dynasty and meet Qin Luan?" Jiang Li was puzzled.
Although the truth was a far cry from what Jiang Li said, Song Ying couldn't directly say that she followed Qin Luan's footsteps and came to the chaotic Tianyuan Dynasty. She could only say that she did.
"So that's how it is? I thought you liked me and followed me here."
Qin Luan was very surprised. After the trip to the mysterious secret realm, he thought Song Ying liked him, but now it seems that he was overthinking.
Song Ying smiled at Jiang Li, and there was no sign that she was secretly clenching her fists to get ready to hit someone.
Jiang Li is now in the Jindan stage, and without using his spiritual sense, he cannot see the fist that Song Ying hides in her sleeve.
Arriving at the downtown area, it was very lively with small vendors hawking their wares along the street. Jiang Li walked back and forth here several times and did not encounter any bullying of men or women, but there were quite a few thieves and counterfeit goods.
I don’t know how Qin Luan and Song Ying encountered a woman being kidnapped as soon as they arrived here.
"It seems that the third son of the Long family is not here. What is his name?"
"Long Sanshui, he has two older brothers, Long Dajin and Long Erhuo."
"...The Long family is quite cultured and they know about gold, wood, water, fire and earth."
"Yes, when I first heard that the Long family named their children like this, I thought that Master was Long Sanshui's father." Qin Luan nodded repeatedly, and then felt like he was kicked by Yuan Wuxing in the dark.
Long San Fruit is really on a stage, full of energy and vigor.
He had just recovered from a serious illness and wanted to vent his emotions, so he set up an arena.
"Here are ten mid-grade spirit stones. Whoever is willing to come up and be beaten up by me comes here?" Long Sanshui stood in the center of the arena, looking like he was the only one who could do it better than him.
Jiang Li could see that this guy's strength in the late stage of foundation building was entirely built up by elixirs, and in this life he would be just a useless person who had made a ninth-grade golden elixir.
But who says the Long family is rich?

"I'll do it!" A cultivator who was also in the late foundation building stage stepped onto the stage. He had a solid foundation and was much stronger than Long Sanshui.
However, the monk was soon overwhelmed by Long Sanshui's chaotic attacks, and finally fell to the ground and was severely beaten by Long Sanshui.
"Great!" Long Sanshui breathed a sigh of relief. He threw the spirit stone to the cultivator and told him to get off the stage.
"This grandson is spending spirit stones to buy sandbags!" Qin Luan whispered.
"Here are twenty mid-grade spirit stones. Whoever is willing to come up and be beaten by me comes here!" Long Sanshui took out more spirit stones. Everyone present understood that the more spirit stones they had, the worse the beating would be.
But there are still many people willing to take the stage.
"I, I, I, I can take it!"
"I yelled the loudest!"
"I am a Jindan cultivator!"
Among the crowd shouting, Jiang Li shouted the loudest. Everyone turned around in surprise and asked, "What are you, a Jindan cultivator, doing here among us foundation-building cultivators?" As there were Jindan cultivators to serve as sandbags, Long Sanshui naturally chose Jiang Li.
"I have a condition." Jiang Li said after he came on stage, "You have to give me the spirit stones first."
Without saying a word, Long Sanshui directly threw the spirit stones to Jiang Li. He was not worried that Jiang Li would take the money and run away. There were Nascent Soul stage priests nearby, and he, a Jindan cultivator, could not cause any trouble.
Jiang Li weighed the bag of spirit stones a few times and threw it to Long Sanshui.
Long Sanshui took the bag of spirit stones, looking puzzled.
"Since twenty spirit stones can buy a Jindan cultivator to be beaten willingly, then naturally it can also buy a late foundation building cultivator to be beaten by a Jindan cultivator. It makes sense, right?"
Jiang Li smiled and made sense while rushing forward and started to attack Long Sanshui as he got close to him.
"Stop!" The Nascent Soul cultivator reacted and became furious, wanting to kill Jiang Li.
Jiang Li pinched Long Sanshui's vital point and hid behind him, looking like a tough guy: "If he dares to attack me, I will kill him! Let's see whether my life is more valuable or the life of the third son of the Long family!"
