Tianhu Gang.
Bai Yushuang convened a meeting of the four elders.
"What are your thoughts on Ouyang Tianyang's death, elders?"
"Chief, Ouyang Tianyang's death is extremely similar to the death of Zheng Baxiong, the previous leader of the Giant Bear Gang. I suspect it was Gao Yan's doing!" an elder analyzed.
“Yes, this Gao Yan is too unruly. Ouyang Tianyang did not offend him, did he? He just killed him like that!” another elder said with some dissatisfaction.
At this moment, Bai Yushuang spoke up: "Gao Yan wouldn't have killed Ouyang Tianyang for no reason. There must be a reason we don't know. Also, be more respectful to Fellow Daoist Gao in the future!"
"Chief, does Gao Yan have some powerful background?" an elder asked thoughtfully. More than a month ago, Bai Yushuang had ordered them to take good care of Gao Yan's business.
This made them even more respectful, so they were very suspicious that their leader had discovered Gao Yan's profound background!
"You can trust me on this matter. As for the rest, I can't tell you yet!"
Bai Yushuang said firmly.
"yes!"
The four elders nodded.
Besides the Tianhu Gang, other gangs were also discussing this matter. These gang leaders had all guessed that Gao Yan must have killed Ouyang Tianyang, although they did not know why Gao Yan wanted to kill Ouyang Tianyang.
However, they were all filled with fear, so they held a meeting to have the gang leaders restrain the members and make sure they did not cause trouble at the casino or the brothel!
And so, another ten days or so passed.
Yuhuai City.
Qu Houyang summoned Qu Shiqi and asked with some complaint, "What's going on? Why hasn't Qu Shiba returned yet?"
"this?"
Qu Shiqi, unsure of what was going on, cautiously speculated, "Could something have happened?"
Upon hearing this, Qu Houyang's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that they had guessed wrong, and that Gao Yan was not an easy target, but rather quite strong?
"Young master, how about I also make a trip to Tianyao City?"
Qu Shiqi probed.
Qu Houyang hesitated for a moment, then said, "You can go, but be careful. If things don't go well, come back immediately!"
The only people he could rely on were Qu Shiqi and Qu Shiba. If they were both gone, he wouldn't be able to act arrogantly in Yuhuai City anymore, since there were five Celestial Immortal families in Yuhuai City.
Fortunately, the strongest among them was only at the third level of the Celestial Immortal realm, and his two guards were able to keep him under control.
If Qu Shiqi and Qu Shiba both get into trouble, he might not be able to hold his position as city lord, and he might even have to act according to the whims of those celestial families in the future!
"Don't worry, young master, I will be careful!"
Qu Shiqi nodded, then quietly left Yuhuai City!
Inside a teahouse near the city gate.
Gao Yan has been coming here for tea every few days.
He came here for tea not because the music at Shuangxiu Tower was bad, but because he planned to wait and see if he could keep Qu Shiqi there.
"They're here!"
Suddenly, Gao Yan's eyes lit up.
He smiled and glanced at Qu Shiqi, who had disguised himself as a ninth-level human immortal and entered the city.
"Great Puppet Technique!"
With a thought, the supernatural runes in his sea of consciousness flickered, and then a puppet rune silently entered Qu Shiqi's body!
After leaving behind a magic stone, Gao Yan got up and left the teahouse.
A short while later.
He arrived at an alley, where the manipulated Qu Shiqi was already waiting for him.
With a wave of his hand.
He then took the other person into his small world to keep Qu Shiba company.
Back at the mansion on Xuanwu Street.
Gao Yan is reading Qu Shiqi's memories. Qu Shiba's disappearance made Qu Houyang doubt his analysis, so he sent Qu Shiqi to find out more.
Unexpectedly, Gao Yan was so cunning that he waited for his prey near the city gate, and even had the unreasonable skill of "Insightful Eye".
Therefore, they were taken into custody as soon as they arrived in Tianyao City!
"I wonder if Qu Houyang will be able to survive in Yuhuai City after losing Qu Shiqi and Qu Shiba!" Gao Yan thought gloatingly.
You should know that there are five Celestial Immortal families in Jade Locust City. Even with Qu Seventeen and Qu Eighteen keeping them in check, they would not obediently let Qu Houyang bully them. Now that Qu Seventeen and Qu Eighteen are gone...
Perhaps those five celestial families will teach Qu Houyang a lesson!
Under Gao Yan's control, Qu Shiqi released everything from his storage ring.
"Seven hundred million immortal stones!"
Gao Yan was pleasantly surprised.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
Qu Houyang did not send anyone to Tianyao City again; in fact, he could not send anyone.
At that moment, he was furious, but also somewhat uneasy.
More than a month has passed, and neither Qu Shiqi nor Qu Shiba has returned, nor has there been any news of them.
Even if he were stupid, he would understand that his previous assumptions were wrong.
Gao Yan is very likely a powerful celestial being, or even a true immortal.
It's estimated that Qu Shiqi and Qu Shiba won't be able to come back!
Damn it!
At this moment, Qu Houyang felt a sense of frustration, like a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs. If he hadn't lost power within his family, even if Gao Yan was a true immortal, he wouldn't have been afraid at all!
But now it's different. His father was transferred to a remote state to serve as its governor because of him. The state is far away from Yuhuai City and it's almost impossible to contact him unless his father sends someone to contact him.
As for him sending people!
The journey is so long, and if you don't reach the celestial realm, the chances of an accident on the way are extremely high!
After some thought.
Qu Houyang summoned Cheng Lishan and put him in charge of the city lord's mansion, while he himself would go into seclusion for an extended period.
