Chapter 116 The Second Young Master's Scheme
The old ancestor was determined to die.
The fish took the bait, which went more smoothly than planned.
Little Master Huang was unaware that he had unwittingly walked into a trap. With a wave of his hand, he ordered the guards to escort the Qian family members out.
A carriage was parked outside the money exchange, prepared specifically for Qian Chuan Chuan, who was injured.
Young Master Huang stepped onto a small horse using a stool, and after the Qian family members were all seated in the carriage, he cracked the whip and led the group at high speed along the long street halfway up the mountain.
Madam Qian swayed back and forth in the carriage, angrily cursing, "I thought he had a conscience and was considering that Chuan Chuan was injured so that we could ride in the carriage. I didn't expect he was just worried that we would be too slow on horseback and delay our journey!"
"Yuanbao" stood protectively by the old lady's side, feeling a sense of eager anticipation.
She hoped that Little Master Huang would run even faster, so that once they left the city and entered Yunshan Ridge, they would no longer be bound by the alliance between the two tribes.
She will protect the Qian family, and she will make that old man return the spiritual treasure he "threw away" before!
Thinking this, he felt even more anxious and whispered to Di Jiang, "When do we make our move?"
If it were up to her temper, she would probably have started a massacre as soon as the carriage entered Yunshan territory, but she was worried that the emperor might have other plans, so she asked for his opinion in advance.
Di Jiang looked back from inside the bumpy carriage.
At the very end of Little Yellow Master's group, another group was chasing at a steady pace. They used a concealment technique commonly used by the demon race, so that ordinary people could not see their traces and would only think that they were an invisible wind.
They were dressed in black and gold armor, holding long halberds. In the center of the procession was a carriage, and the man in the carriage had a gloomy and bewitching face. He was resting with his eyes closed, and the slightly upturned corners of his mouth showed the same sense of impending doom as them.
Unaware of Di Jiang's observation, Di Jiang did not alert them. He simply withdrew his gaze slowly and smiled at Duan Jiuyou, saying, "No rush, let them make the first move."
"them?"
Who are they?
Old Master Duan lifted the carriage curtain to look outside, only to see the scenery rushing past and the hillside town gradually "shrinking".
...
"Second Young Master, when shall we make our move?"
Meanwhile, among the group chasing Little Master Huang, someone rode up to the carriage and asked the same question as Duan Jiuyou.
Upon closer inspection, the man's face was familiar; he was none other than Zhou Xunshi, the manager of Yuelai Money Shop.
Previously, he had been ordered by the second young master, Li Ya, to set the gold spirit exchange rate to the highest level in order to lure Little Master Huang into his bank.
Unfortunately, a cunning man named Qian Chuanchuan appeared on the other side and took advantage of him, ruining their previous plan.
Fortunately, the matter did not stray too far from the ultimate goal. Li Ya wanted to trick Xiao Huangye into leaving the city, and Xiao Huangye also left the city in order to exchange gold coins from Qian Chuanchuan.
Li Ya opened his eyes, a cold glint in his eyes: "Second Young Master? Who is this Eldest Young Master you're talking about? The dwarf riding the short horse up ahead?!"
He is the true child of the Demon Queen and the Demon King! Huang Manman, a mere freak and bastard, dares to be ranked ahead of him?!
Zhou Xunshi hurriedly apologized to Li Ya: "Young Master, please calm down. It was my slip of the tongue."
Li Ya closed his eyes again.
The Demon King had few children, with only one son, Li Ya. This time, the young master Huang returned to the city for no reason, which inexplicably gave the city an extra young master who was even older than him, which really angered him.
The Demon King was seriously ill, and that bastard was even more charming and pleasing than his own son. He spent his free time tending to the sick. The court officials originally strongly recommended Li Ya as the crown prince, but Huang Manman's appearance caused a change of heart.
Li Ya suspected that Huang Manman's return to the city was to compete with him for the position of crown prince, and he was determined to eliminate this threat.
Yunshan Ridge outside Banshan City was originally the place Li Ya planned to make his move, and now that Huang Manman has taken the initiative to go there, it suits his wishes perfectly.
He would never allow this dwarf to become a threat to him!
From this day forward, he will be the only young master left in Half Mountain City, and the Demon King and Demon Queen will only have him as their son!
Half an hour later.
The two groups of people entered Yunshanling one after the other. Li Ya lifted the carriage curtain and saw that Xiao Huangye and the others had slowed down and stopped in front of a lonely hill. A shield was faintly visible in front of the hill, which was the barrier that Qian Chuanchuan had set up at the entrance of Yunshan Treasury.
Li Ya glanced at Little Huang, who was focused on "getting the money," and uttered two words indifferently: "Make your move."
The more he wanted the money, the more he wanted to prevent the money from being seen!
Qian Chuan Chuan and the others had already gotten off the car and were preparing to open the barrier under Xiao Huang Ye's gestures. Xiao Huang Ye stared intently at the money vault door. Just as the barrier was about to crack, he suddenly felt a sharp gust of wind!
Li Ya's guards moved with lightning speed, only revealing themselves when they were right in front of Young Master Huang.
Startled, Young Master Huang narrowly dodged a halberd strike. Upon first seeing the guard's uniform on the other person, he almost thought that one of his men had turned against him. Only after a closer look at the other person's attire did he realize something was amiss.
The Black Armor Guards have an extra breastplate compared to the Half-Mountain Guards. They are the most skilled regular troops in Half-Mountain City. They are directly under Li Ya's command, so there's no need to ask whose men are coming!
While fleeing for his life, Little Huang searched for Li Ya's whereabouts. He knew that Li Ya must have come and was nearby!
This kid has always seen him as a thorn in his side. Little Master Huang knew that Li Ya didn't like him, but he never expected that he would dare to kill him!
Li Ya's carriage slowly appeared. He casually lifted the curtain and leisurely watched him from inside the carriage.
The two brothers stared at each other, and Little Huang shouted, "Are you crazy? If Mother finds out you laid a hand on me, she'll skin you alive!"
Little Master Huang spoke, which was an act of forcibly breaking the seal. Thor had struck his mouth askew, but in reality, he had placed a silencing spell on it.
Little Master Huang can break the curse himself, but he hasn't done so before because the way to break the curse is by exchanging it with a magical treasure—he has to spend money to "buy a mouth," and the price is expensive.
The moment the restraints were lifted, they noticed a "whoosh" as a large amount of spiritual treasures vanished from their Qiankun bag.
Little Huang looked pained; it hurt more than being stabbed!
Li Ya sneered, his voice light and dismissive: "If I dare to kill you, I naturally have thorough preparations. You forced Qian Chuanchuan's family to exchange 90% of their gold coins for a spiritual treasure, and Qian Chuanchuan refused to comply, so he committed suicide with you in Yunshan Ridge—what do you think of this scenario?"
Young Master Huang suspected that Li Ya was brainless: "I led a team of imperial guards out of the city. Do you think Qian Chuanchuan could kill me?"
Li Ya said casually, "Isn't there four people in the Qian family? Old Madam Qian is a master of medicine. In order to help her son get rid of your oppression, she developed a divine pill that can temporarily increase magic power. Qian Chuan Chuan used the power of the divine pill to kill you and a team of imperial guards, and then died from his injuries."
He said, pulling a pill from his sleeve: "I've prepared all the medicine, just waiting for you to die."
The black-armored guards split into two groups, and some of them rushed towards Qian Chuanchuan and his group.
In the eyes of Master Huang and Li Ya, the Qian family's lives were as insignificant as ants, and they could be framed, bullied, and oppressed at will.
Seeing the approaching flashing swords and shadows, Old Madam Qian closed her eyes in despair.
But the excruciating pain I had imagined did not actually happen to me.
When Madam Qian opened her eyes, she saw "Yuanbao" casually grab the halberd and control several long blades that were attacking her with just one arm. Then she saw her push back with the force of her arm, and the black-armored guards were instantly knocked to the ground like shattered earth!
"Gold Ingot" slowly raised his eyes, his gaze filled with both mischievousness and mockery.
"Is your family's lack of morality hereditary? You always push everything onto ordinary people. The older brother extorts money, and the younger brother frames others. If the people who came this time were really from the Qian family, wouldn't they have been bullied to death by you?"
As they spoke, a shimmering light appeared, and everyone present changed their appearance. Apart from the utterly shocked Old Madam Qian, there was no one else from the Qian family.
—Is that person with the ambiguous smile and indifferent eyes Di Jiang?
—Is that Bai Yanxing, with his ethereal and otherworldly appearance, the one with the gentle breeze and bright moon?
—And who else could that little girl who's mocking them right now be but that old ancestor from Earthly Breath Mountain?!
Young Master Huang's breath caught in his throat, as if he had seen a ghost; it was even more terrifying than seeing Li Ya.
What frightened him most was that Qian Chuanchuan was from the Imperial Army...
Qian Chuan Chuan is actually from Dijiang?!
He whipped the emperor more than thirty times!
If this whip were to fall on Bai Yanxing, it might be a gentler punishment. But Di Jiang is vengeful and will not let him off easily!
With wolves in front and tigers behind, Young Master Huang's mind was in complete turmoil, and he hated himself for bringing trouble upon himself with his greed! But just then, he heard Li Ya say, "People of the Divine Race? Dwarf Huang, are these the reinforcements you brought?"
@*&￥#R#$ Do they look like reinforcements to you?!
Huang Manman's mind was filled with foul language, and she cursed Li Ya for being ignorant!
Actually, this is not Li Ya's fault. Although the two legendary masters of Huang Sheng are famous, they rarely appear in the territory of the demon race. As for the old ancestor of Ao Zong, he is even more difficult to find, as he is too lazy to even attend court.
Li Ya didn't recognize them, but he could tell that their cultivation level was not low, so he asked warily, "Are you here to help him?"
"It depends on whether he wants to live or die."
The emperor smiled faintly, his sleeves tucked together.
If you want to live, then obediently come to their side and give them the answers they want.
If he wants to die, that's even easier. Just throw him to Li Ya, and he'll definitely not survive the day!
