"Boss, it seems like we've been tricked."
As the black rain drizzled down, He Wu spread his body out to become an umbrella.
Since crossing the Abyss and becoming a member of the Forge organization, he has experienced dozens of worlds.
I've never been the mastermind behind the scenes myself, but I've witnessed the schemes of those behind the scenes.
This thing that suddenly exploded and made such a commotion was undoubtedly telling the person who was running away that the monster causing trouble here was very powerful and that they should quickly call for help.
As for the target, it's easy to guess that it's none other than his fellow townsman and big shot.
Aside from not yet understanding the reason, He Wu had grasped the general outline. "If all else fails, shall we stay in the turbid water pit?"
Although those big guys over there are very strong, it shouldn't be a big problem if we're careful.
"It's impossible to get a refund!"
Li Fan shook his head and said calmly, "Being used as a pawn this time is ultimately because the opponent is in the shadows."
Returning to Zhuoshuikeng before understanding the other party's intentions is not a wise choice.
Moreover, since it has offered such a generous gift, there is no reason to refuse it.
If Heaven gives you something and you don't take it, you'll suffer the consequences!
Li Fan had no reason to refuse the gift that was delivered to his door, nor did he intend to.
The sheer vastness of this chaotic energy would allow him to advance his strength by several levels.
Even if he eventually reaches the end of his rope, he can still use this power to create the most dazzling fireworks.
If you want to scheme against me, you'd better be prepared to die together.
Li Fan opened his arms and embraced the black rain that filled the sky.
A huge vortex enveloped him.
The black rain that was spreading in all directions began to swirl back, and the chaotic energy that permeated the Black Gully was also pulled into the sky by the vortex.
......
They have intelligence, but not much!
A creature that cannot suppress its thirst for power will forever remain a slave to power.
The Queen of Qingqiu glanced back once before disappearing deeper into the Black Gully.
......
They've fallen?
Black Stone Suga suddenly turned around and looked at the area shrouded in the vortex.
Even though we're far away, that aura is unmistakable.
The bursting black rain was clearly the monster he was fighting.
Now that it's dead, does that mean an even more powerful monster has emerged?
Thinking of this, Kuroshi Suka's face darkened.
A more powerful monster means a more dangerous situation in Black Gully City, and Zhang Qingyao is more unpredictable.
If my father comes... will he really be able to keep things in order?
But if this gets out, will Zhang Qingyao still be in my control?
Obviously impossible!
No, I can't say.
Having made up his mind, Heishi Suga returned to Heigouzi City.
......
"The Ancestor's soul fire has been extinguished!"
From the depths of the Qin family ancestral home in Heigouzi City, cries of alarm rang out. Soon after, the sound of bells, signifying that the family was facing a life-or-death crisis, echoed throughout the various grotto-heavens controlled by the Qin family.
The Qin family's senior members who had been cultivating in seclusion all emerged from their seclusion and gathered together to discuss what the Qin family should do next.
At the same time, the Tie family also sent out spies to gather information.
......
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
Outside Heigouzi City, the black rain had long since stopped.
On this day, Li Fan returned to the city.
Of course, his appearance and departure did not attract much attention from the outside world.
After all, he was usually low-key and spent most of his free time in seclusion at his residence.
......
"Brother Fan, you're finally back! Something incredible has happened in the city!"
Upon meeting Li Fan, Zhang Chuanzong immediately told him what had happened in the city.
The deaths of the patriarchs of the Qin and Tie families, despite the tight security measures, still leaked out.
Now, the major powers have already started fighting tooth and nail over the redistribution of interests.
"Foreman Wang told us to keep a low profile recently, and not to fight, grab, or cause trouble."
Even if someone comes knocking on your door, just bear with it and it will pass!
Zhang Chuanzong continued.
It must be said that Wang Fuqiang is indeed a talented person.
The fact that he can still hold back in times like this shows he's destined for great things.
Compared to Zhang Chuanzong or even Wang Fuqiang, Li Fan had more accurate information, after all, he was a participant in that great battle.
The Heavenly Palace warrior who broke through that day was Zhang Qingyao, Wang Fuqiang's backer.
The news that Zhang Qingyao's soul fire had not been extinguished had probably already spread throughout the city.
Wang Fuqiang, being a shrewd person, must have noticed something amiss about her breakthrough to the Heavenly Palace.
The fact that he didn't rush to raise a flag and seize territory at this point shows that he wasn't blinded by victory.
This quality is rare and precious.
For Li Fan, this would also save him a lot of trouble.
After parting ways with Zhang Chuanzong, Li Fan did not intend to go to Wang Fuqiang's residence to tell him what had happened outside the city.
It's very simple; he doesn't need to use these things to demonstrate his mysterious nature.
The more you talk, the less confident you become.
......
"Foreman, Brother Fan is back!"
After parting ways with Li Fan, Zhang Chuanzong went straight to Wang Fuqiang's residence.
They're finally... back!
Wang Fuqiang's anxiety finally subsided completely.
He did know more information than Zhang Chuanzong.
If Zhang Qingyao can be considered his backer, then Li Fan is the last resort he can mobilize.
Zhang Qingyao can give him wealth and luxury, while Li Fan can save his life in critical moments.
This point was already clear to him after he broke through Yaochi.
Li Fan's mysterious origins destined him to remain out of the public eye.
I helped him conceal his whereabouts with this intention in mind, even if that wasn't my initial thought.
Li Fan is back, so even if things go badly, I don't have to be afraid of dying anymore.
This mysterious big shot has no problem protecting his honest and law-abiding self.
"You did a good job. Go back and go into seclusion for a while. Come out again when the storm has passed!"
Wang Fuqiang casually handed over a bottle of pills and sent Zhang Chuanzong away.
......
A month after the great battle, Zhang Qingyao returned to Heigouzi City.
On the same day, Heigouzi City officially began a major reshuffle.
The mines, industries, and accumulated wealth controlled by the Qin and Tie families were transferred to Zhang Qingyao in a simple and brutal way.
Under these circumstances, Zhang Qingyao's power expanded rapidly.
......
"Li Fan, let's forget about what happened before. Just pretend I never told you!"
I saw Wang Fuqiang again a month after Zhang Qingyao returned.
At this moment, Wang Fuqing looked completely dejected.
Clearly, he did not gain any substantial benefit from this chaos.
"Can!"
Li Fan nodded and agreed to the proposal.
His appetite grew ever larger after he swallowed that black rain.
It's simply not worth risking exposure for a little bit of chaotic gas in the mine.
Aren't you curious why?
Wang Fuqiang was a bit tipsy, just like someone who had drunk too much alcohol!
How could he not get carried away?
With his powerful backer about to break through to the top, he, as the deputy mine owner, was about to rise to prominence and become the mine owner in control of dozens or even hundreds of mines.
To my utter surprise, my backer returned, but I was inexplicably rendered useless.
How come it's no longer useful?
How did it turn out like this!
Contentment brings happiness!
Li Fan patted Wang Fuqing on the shoulder.
"That's right, contentment brings happiness."
I advanced to the Jade Pool realm without doing anything; I really shouldn't have been greedy for more!
The comfort from a strong person like Li Fan revitalized Wang Fuqiang's spirits.
I wouldn't say I left in high spirits, but I did find some solace in the experience.
......
"Boss, your words of comfort are really against your conscience!"
After Wang Fuqiang left, Hewu climbed onto Li Fan's shoulder.
From the moment they met, he could tell that Li Fan was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
Of course, He Wu would never admit that he was almost scared to death at the time.
"Advising others to be content with what they have, while you yourself are preparing to go fishing in the muddy water pit?"
"I only advised him to be content with what he has, I didn't say that I am a person who is content with what I have!"
Li Fan paused for a moment, then continued, "From beginning to end, I have only had one goal."
"Am I the only one who reigns supreme in heaven and on earth?"
He Wu's eyes lit up, as if he had found his purpose in life.
"No, fisherman!"
Li Fan gave a wicked smile, and He Wu immediately sensed something was wrong.
