"I'm... I'm called Black Scorpion, and I'm a pimp around the desert. I usually pick up people from the desert, take them inside, and charge a small fee along the way.
After a long time, I felt that making money this way was too slow. Later, I accidentally got to know Master Xu, so I reached an agreement with him. I was specifically responsible for... specifically leading those merchants entering the desert to Master Xu's sphere of influence, and then robbing them and destroying their bodies.
The wealth we get from this will be divided 30% between me and Master Xu, 30% for me and 70% for him!"
"You...you...you're talking nonsense!" Another mouthful of blood spurted out of Master Xu's mouth. Although he had learned from the housekeeper that this was indeed the case, his son had died after all. Regardless of whether he had done anything wrong or violated the rules, those who killed his son in the desert must die.
When he knew that the Black Scorpion might do something bad, he immediately sent people to kill him. Unexpectedly, the Black Scorpion suddenly disappeared as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.
Now it seems that this group of desert merchants is really not a pushover! They were able to wipe out the 3,000 mercenaries of the Xu family with only 200 people, and even kill the venomous snake. There must be a master among these merchants.
This way, he couldn't let them go.
Black Scorpion's words were undoubtedly a slap in the face to Master Gong. As the head of the Gong family, he also detested such behavior, but the deceased was his wife's nephew, and he patted his chest and promised to give an explanation to the Xu family.
"Damn refugees, how dare they frame the young master of the Xu family."
While Master Gong was speaking, the two personal guards standing behind him took advantage of everyone's inattention and ejected two poisoned silver needles from their hands.
Master Gong had just breathed a sigh of relief, but the two silver needles that were about to shoot into the black scorpion's body were changed direction by the sudden appearance of another silver needle.
"Ding——" A subtle sound was heard, and then three silver needles were inserted into the stone ground beside them.
Master Gong and the two guards behind him turned pale instantly and looked towards the place where the silver needle had just been shot.
"Master Gong, are you planning to kill someone to silence them?"
Murong Xiao, who had seen enough of the show, came to the hall accompanied by Qian Yeming. Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, he walked to the place where the two silver needles fell and picked up the silver needles on the ground with his bare hands.
After looking back and forth for a while, he raised an eyebrow and said under Master Gong's dark face, "This silver needle is extremely poisonous and will kill instantly upon contact with blood. Master Gong, you are really impatient. On the one hand, you brought people here to pretend to be pitiful, while on the other hand, you instigated your men to kill and silence the witnesses.
This Black Scorpion is the only witness. If you kill him, wouldn't our caravan of 200 people really become the murderer who killed Master Xu for no reason? "
Looking at the poisonous silver needle in Murong Xiao's hand, everyone became indignant and instantly protected the black scorpion in the middle.
"Master Gong, this is the Mo family. If you really want to do this, no matter what the final result is, I have the right not to hand these people over to you! I advise you to think carefully about it, considering that the four major families are about to join forces. I don't think we have to join forces with your Gong family to go to the oasis!"
Master Gong's expression changed. Master Su was determined to achieve the alliance of the four major families and had urged him to do his utmost to facilitate it. He would then find a way to completely wipe out the Han and Mo families from this desert.
