Chapter 50 Negotiation

Chen Chuan has been in the city defense camp for more than 40 years. He has experienced a lot of bloody storms and handled countless major and minor cases, but the tragic scene in the yard before him still makes him feel cold all over.

The guest official of Changlin Gang with a black mole on his forehead was a master of Qiquan. At this moment, he was lying in a pool of blood. He was cut in half and his arms were missing.

There were about ten dead bodies lying in all directions under the courtyard wall, all of them killed by a single sword.

There were also ferocious spiders all over the ground and sturdy spider webs that were connected in all directions. They were frozen under the frost crystals. It was obvious that someone had activated a magical weapon that could cause mass destruction.

…

This can be called a grand scene!

The creator of this tragic scene was just a teenager who looked less than 20 years old.

If the other party was really born in the Cangli tribe, then he must be a potential rising star of the tribe. He couldn't afford to offend such a person now, and even more so in the future. If he reported it to his superiors... then there would be a lot of things to be dug out, and it would also involve the game between the high-level officials of Jiuli City.

Li Weiyi lit the bone lamp and hung it back on the old poplar tree.

Under the light, the bloodstains in the yard appeared unusually bright, and the corpses all over the ground added an eerie and terrifying feeling.

Chen Chuan's expression softened, and he asked, "Who is the owner of this house?"

"It's me."

Zhao Meng strode out, his six-meter-tall body causing the ground to shake slightly.

The magic power in his body was flowing, his skin turned golden, his hair was burning like flames, and his voice was as deafening as thunder.

It was Senior Coffin who asked him to show up in this manner and try to appear as strong as possible.

"Senior Brother, this is Captain Chen from the City Defense Battalion..." It was the first time that Li Weiyi saw Zhao Meng in such a mysterious manner and he was very surprised.

Zhao Meng was very rude. He walked towards Chen Chuan with a swift and fierce step and questioned, "When we rented the house, we paid the city defense silver. We were attacked by criminals and almost all of us were killed. Why did the city defense battalion take so long to arrive?"

In Chen Chuan's eyes, Zhao Meng's sense of oppression was too strong, even stronger than Xie Jin's iron-blooded tactics.

The flesh and blood were cultivated to be like gold, which was unheard of in Yongquan Realm. He felt that Zhao Meng could easily tear him in half with just his flesh.

This is Xie Jin’s senior brother, the owner of this place, and he is definitely a more terrifying person.

He could never have imagined that Zhao Meng had only opened one spring.

Facing a strong man, Chen Chuan hurriedly bowed his hands to show his respect, and did not even dare to ask Zhao Meng for the People's Book. He explained, "We did not expect that someone would be so bold as to break into private homes and rob people so close to the city. Your Excellency, please do not be angry. The City Defense Battalion will not ignore it, and such things will never happen again in the future."

Li Weiyi did not expect that his senior brother's deterrent power was so great, so he stepped aside consciously, like a junior brother who followed his senior brother's lead, to highlight Zhao Meng's stronger power.

A quarter of an hour later, the two ended their conversation.

Chen Chuan walked out of the gate of the house and promised to find out the mastermind as soon as possible. Then, he ordered more than 20 city guards outside to take away all the corpses in the yard and clean the ground.

Li Weiyi put his hands behind his back and looked at the city defense soldiers going away: "Brother, you can see that only when we have strong strength can others respect us, otherwise we would have been taken away by now. Of course, this also shows that Chen Chuan himself is not clean."

Zhao Meng smiled and said, "I feel that our so-called strength now is a bit false. Others probably think that I am a powerful figure in the Five Seas Realm. If the truth is revealed, the City Defense Battalion and the Changlin Gang will have countless ways to make us pay back with interest."

"Five Seas Realm!"

Li Weiyi read out these three words.

In his mind at this moment, these three words completely represent dignity, status, and a sense of security, and he must climb up.

"You have to keep up the show in the Five Seas Realm. There is a tough battle to fight tonight."

Li Weiyi didn't think that Chen Chuan would offend the Changlin Gang for them. The so-called "finding out the mastermind behind the scenes" was definitely just a polite remark.

To truly solve the big problem of the Changlin Gang, they have to rely on themselves.

…

It was late at night and the air was slightly chilly.

Li Weiyi sat alone on the threshold of the gate, wiping the blood off the Yellow Dragon Sword with a piece of grey cloth. The water in the basin beside him gradually turned deep red.

Zhao Meng sat under the old poplar tree in the yard, looking calm and composed, but in fact he had no confidence at all.

Lao Liu and Lao Guan cleaned up the bloodstains in the yard.

The crowd did not take this opportunity to escape. At this point, escaping would only lead to faster death. They had to fight to the death with the Changlin Gang, so as to force the other party to weigh the pros and cons and thus gain a glimmer of hope.

“Whack!”

“Whack!”

…

Dense footsteps came quickly from the end of the four-meter-wide street.

Led by deputy gang leader Tang Yan and flag owner Ishikawa Yu, dozens of Changlin Gang members marched out of the shadow of the building, all dressed in black, scaring the vendors and residents on both sides of the street into silence.

The air on the entire street seemed to become sticky all of a sudden.

Li Weiyi glanced over and saw that the people of the Changlin Gang did not carry any weapons, and he immediately felt relieved.

In that case...

We need to take a more assertive stance.

Soon, all the members of the Changlin Gang stopped in front of the house, and all their eyes fell on Li Weiyi. However, he was still wiping his sword, ignoring them.

This courage, calmness and confidence made all the members of the Changlin Gang dare not even breathe a single breath.

Shi Chuan Yu stepped forward and saluted Li Weiyi. At the same time, he glanced at Zhao Meng who was sitting in the courtyard. He went straight to the point without beating around the bush: "I am Shi Chuan Yu. I have eyes but I cannot recognize the true God. The Changlin Gang has admitted defeat tonight. We have prepared generous gifts to show our gratitude for the shock you two have suffered. We only hope that we can turn hostility into friendship."

Li Weiyi said nothing, his eyes fell on Tang Yan behind Ishikawa Yu.

An extremely dangerous aura could be sensed from this old man. It was obvious that he was the big shot who could really make the final decision in the Changlin Gang.

Tang Yan had already been sizing up Li Weiyi. He was much younger than he had expected.

But it was this young man who had a horrific performance tonight, causing heavy losses to the Changlin Gang. Tomorrow he will surely become the laughing stock among the many gangs in the suburbs.

The other party is very confident and seems to be truly fearless.

Tang Yan forced a friendly smile on his old face, walked to the right of Ishikawa Yu, bowed and introduced himself, "I am Tang Yan, the deputy leader of the Changlin Gang. The people below me have no foresight and have brought disaster to the gang. They deserve to die in your hands. This is the deed to this house. I just ordered someone to rush to get it. Please accept it."

After Tang Yan took out the land deed, Ishikawa Yucheng presented it to him.

Li Weiyi took a glance and was naturally shocked.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

You know, even a small house in this area would cost tens of thousands of silver coins.

Without two hundred thousand silver coins, it would be impossible to take over their three-acre mansion.

What a big deal! Li Wei looked away without changing his expression and said calmly, "Where are my people?"

Tang Yan raised his hand to signal.

Four gang members in black carried Zhao Zhizhuo over in a sedan chair and helped him to Li Weiyi.

Zhao Zhizhuo's injuries had been treated, and his dislocated arms had been reattached, but it was still obvious that he had been treated inhumanely. Li Weiyi waved his hand and asked Lao Liu and Lao Guan to help him down.

The four gang members who carried Zhao Zhizhuo over all knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged, with terrified expressions.

It was obviously them who made Zhao Zhizhuo look like this.

Li Weiyi raised his head and stared at Tang Yan, his eyes as sharp as a sword.

Tang Yan waved his hand and said, "They made a mistake and they should pay the price. Break their arms and legs and let them die."

After the four people were dragged away, shrill screams and sounds of bones breaking were heard one after another.

Li Weiyi had no mercy or sympathy. Judging from the behavior of the Changlin Gang, there were probably few good people in the gang, and they deserved whatever outcome they had.

"Since the deputy gang leader is so sincere, I, Xie Jin, will accept the land deed." Li Weiyi added, "But I'm afraid something similar will happen again late one night..."

Zhao Meng's voice, like the roar of a tiger or a dragon, came from the courtyard: "Then let's fight the Changlin Gang and see who is tougher."

Tang Yan's eyes darkened slightly. If this matter had not become a big deal, if the eldest lady had not asked them to keep quiet, if these two people might have Cangli as their backer, how could the Changlin Gang be willing to endure such humiliation? Tang Yan promised with a smile: "Don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen again in the future. May I ask, is Master Qi okay?"

Li Weiyi had kept the strange man in white robe because he thought he was an insect controller and had great value, and could be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the Changlin Gang.

It was originally intended to be used to exchange for Zhao Zhizhuo.

Now, Li Weiyi had a new idea: "The old man is still alive. How much money does the deputy gang leader want to exchange for him?"

Tang Yan secretly cursed Li Weiyi for being greedy, but when he thought about the fact that the other party only dared to rent a house in the suburbs, he thought he must be really poor.

If something can be solved with money, it’s not a problem.

I'll just bear with it this time!

After some bargaining, Tang Yan finally redeemed Master Qi for 100,000 silver coins.

When Tang Yan found out that only Master Qi was redeemed and not the spiders, his face turned green with anger.

Li Weiyi stood up and looked at the Changlin Gang members who were coming and going in a mighty manner. He acted like he was not someone to be trifled with and said loudly, "Remind the deputy gang leader that it is best not to send anyone to monitor us. If I find out, I will personally send the body back to the Changlin Gang."

Tang Yan, who had already walked a hundred steps away, had his chest heaving violently and murderous intent in his eyes.

Ishikawa Yu said: "Deputy Gang Leader, have you figured out the depth of that person in the courtyard?"

Tang Yan said: "It is certain that he must be in the Five Seas Realm. He swallowed the blood of two ancient immortal beasts. Didn't you see it yesterday?"

Ishikawa Yu quickly explained: "Yesterday he deliberately concealed his cultivation, and his divine aura was restrained. With my realm... Alas, my cultivation is not enough... I know I was wrong..."

Tang Yan looked solemn: "Only when the deformed people reach the Five Seas Realm can they drink the blood of the second type of ancient immortal beast. Of course, those with special physiques are an exception, but those people are even rarer than those with pure immortal bodies, so they have no reference value."

"Are we really going to just endure this? The price we paid tonight was too high." Ishikawa Yu was very unwilling.

Tang Yan said: "First find out what their relationship with Cangli is. If the relationship is distant, then if we don't get rid of this anger tonight, we will make them pay a terrible price in the future. Even if the relationship is close, if it doesn't work openly, can't we do it secretly?"

"By the way, Xie Jin is probably not at the Five Seas Realm. He is most likely a martial arts practitioner at the Eight Springs level."

Ishikawa Yu had the same feeling. The oppression Xie Jin brought to him was much less than that of Zhao Meng. He said, "Should we put his name on the Five Burial Temple and let Buddha save the thieves to help us test it again? If we can kill him, wouldn't it be a relief?"

The Wuzang Temple is the largest assassin organization in the underground underworld of Jiuli City. It is rumored that it is backed by Xu Fodu, one of the three greatest bandits in the southern border.
