Start with the fisherman

Chapter 147 Not worth it

In the No. 1 Xuan box on the second floor of Tianxiang Tower, Tian Haiyi and Feng Kuang were drinking alone with pig's head.

Now both of them are eighth-level body-building warriors, and they are somewhat famous in Cape City. These days, the Whale Hunting has been basically managed by Tian Haiyi, and coupled with their participation in some small tasks of the Demon Subduing Bureau, they have been living a more comfortable life since the war between Cape City and Dragon God Temple.

I can come to Tianxianglou occasionally to have a drink to relieve boredom, and I can afford it.

"I heard that Brother Cao was kicked out after only being in the Five Absolutes Land for half a year?"

Tian Haiyi picked up a piece of pork head and put it into his mouth, then looked at Feng Kuang. As their status improved, their channels of information naturally became wider.

"Perhaps there is some hidden story behind this?"

Feng Kuang looked at Tian Haiyi with some uncertainty.

Tian Haiyi sneered and shook his head, "Brother Cao is just too cautious. The Yue family must have failed to discover his true potential, otherwise, this would never have happened."

"Aren't you related to the Lu family?"

Tian Haiyi's eyes were burning as he said firmly, "If the Lu family can recruit Brother Cao, no matter what the price is, it will definitely not be a loss!"

This was the reason why he invited Feng Kuang to dinner today - to stand up for Cao Ze!

Others don’t know Cao Ze’s true strength, but he has seen it.

What do you mean he just broke through to the Lianzang realm? Cao Ze had been able to kill masters in the Lianzang realm more than a year ago. He couldn't even imagine how strong Cao Ze is now.

Originally, his current relationship with Master Wenxuan was closer than Feng Kuang's relationship with the Lu family, but he thought that the Yue family was blind and that if they didn't want him here, he would find another place to stay.

Feng Kuang looked at Tian Haiyi meaningfully. He understood what Tian Haiyi meant, but he did not ask any more questions. He just shook his head and said, "The four families are of the same blood. If it was half a year ago, it might be okay, but now, the other families will no longer think of recruiting Brother Cao."

After all, he has been dealing with the four major families for decades and has a deeper understanding of the relationship between them.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the lobby of Tianxiang Tower, and screams were heard continuously.

Tian Haiyi, who was originally preparing to say something, also became curious and looked at Feng Kuang. After the two looked at each other, they both walked out of the box, came to the railing of the corridor on the second floor, and looked towards the lobby on the first floor.

At this time, the hall on the first floor was surrounded by a crowd of people. In the center was an old storyteller with a huge list hanging behind him.

"It is said that the Tornado was in imminent danger. At this moment, a man in a black robe and a hat suddenly came over on the stairs made of sea water. He turned his back to the people on the Tornado and said only one sentence - you go first, leave this to me!"

Nowadays, the man in black is still a perennial topic of conversation in Cape City, supporting many storytellers. Many crew members witnessed the battle of the Hurricane, so some details were leaked out and became part of the storytellers' stories.

But Tian Haiyi was a little curious. The Man in Black had been silent for some time, so why did these storytellers start telling the story of the Man in Black again?
"Second on the exchange list!"

At this moment, Feng Kuang's exclamation came from the side.

Tian Haiyi looked over subconsciously and found that what was hung behind the old storyteller was the Demon Subduing Division Exchange List, which was also the Demon Subduing Division Merit Ranking List.

Needless to say, the number one is Yue Lingke.

After killing the Grand Master of Dragon God Temple, plus her previous achievements, she was far ahead of the second place.

But at this time, the second name on the redemption list turned out to be the man in black!
This was originally just a general term, but in Cape City, when people mention the man in black, they will only think of one man in black.

One hundred thousand merits!

Everyone who sees this knows what this means. One hundred thousand is the merit that can be obtained by killing a grandmaster!

The man in black had never appeared on the list before, but now he suddenly jumped to the second place on the list and obtained 100,000 merits. This all shows one thing - the man in black killed a grandmaster of the Dragon God Temple!

No wonder people in the hall were so excited just now.

The people in Cape City can be said to have watched the man in black grow, from strengthening bones to refining organs, and then to a half-step grandmaster. They never expected that he could now kill a grandmaster!
This growth rate is simply insane!
The outsiders were just watching the fun, and the people in the hall were just shocked at the growth rate of the man in black. However, Tian Haiyi was a little dazed, because he knew that the man in black was Cao Ze.

But two years ago, Cao Ze was just a little guy in the Bone Tempering Realm like him. In just two years, he has grown to this level?
Tian Haiyi really felt that he was dreaming.

I was just feeling indignant about Cao Ze being driven out of the Land of Five Wonders. Now it seems that if Cao Ze doesn't want to, who can drive him out of the Land of Five Wonders?
evildoer!

Only these two words came to Tian Haiyi's mind.

Feng Kuang looked at Tian Haiyi who was a little out of control, and seemed to be thinking about something.

……

Tianya City,
Meng Qifan and Tong Shuzhao, who were drinking tea, also received the news.

Looking at the list in front of him, Meng Qifan suddenly shuddered and shivered unconsciously.

"died!"

"He actually killed the Grand Master of the Dragon Temple!"

If the man in black can kill the master of Dragon Temple, he can also kill them at any time!
"impossible!"

Tong Shuzhao was the first to regain his sanity. "This must be a plot by the four great families to create a god. The Grand Master of the Dragon God Temple must have been secretly killed by someone sent by the four great families!"

"Even if that kid has been practicing since his mother's womb, he can't kill a master so quickly."

"Just a peasant from a remote fishing village!"

……

In the Bai family's patriarch's courtyard, Bai Yuanze and Bai Haijiao were sitting in the pavilion drinking tea and looking at the latest list that had been delivered.

Suddenly, Bai Haijiao smiled bitterly, thinking of Bai Yuanze's words of encouragement, "Seventh Uncle, I really can't do this!"

"Forehead……"

Bai Yuanze's face turned dark and he was quite embarrassed.

He had just said that Bai Haijiao's talent was no worse than the man in black, but the man in black gave him a big blow in the blink of an eye.

……

Cuizhuxuan, in an independent courtyard,
"Brother, you have a good eye. That kid is growing too fast!"

Luo Xinjun was amazed, recalling the first time she saw that kid, he was just a little fellow with the strength of refining internal organs, but she didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, he would come with the head of a master.

As she spoke, she poked a piece of stinky tofu with a bamboo skewer, opened her cherry lips, and swallowed the whole piece in one bite, feeling the juice of the stinky tofu flowing in her mouth and savoring its crispy and soft texture. Her eyes were slightly narrowed, and her face was full of enjoyment.

Luo Qingyun covered his mouth, quietly blocking his sense of smell, and looked at the stinky tofu in front of Luo Xinyun with disgust, "I just remembered that I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first!"

"This is freshly-cooked stinky tofu, wouldn't you like to try it?"

Luo Xinjun raised her hand, and a piece of stinky tofu flew straight towards Luo Qingyun. The juice on it was tightly wrapped by an invisible force and did not drip.

But the next moment, the entire courtyard seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force. The stinky tofu was fixed in mid-air, and even the grass swaying in the wind in the courtyard stopped shaking. Luo Qingyun did not hesitate and flashed to the outside of the courtyard.

Only after Luo Qingyun left did the courtyard regain its vitality.

Luo Xinjun curled her lips and continued to taste the stinky tofu.

Luo Qingyun, who had just walked out of the courtyard, stopped and looked at the middle-aged man who was blocking his way with a serious expression.

The person who came was Yuwen Badao. His injuries had long been healed. The might of the Dragon Blood Master was pressed unreservedly towards Luo Qingyun, and the feeling of stagnant air in the courtyard appeared again.

There was a scrutinizing light in Yuwen Badao's eyes, "Did that guy kill Qilong?" The name of the man in black appeared on the exchange list. Killing the Grandmaster and exchanging for Earth Soul Crystal, such a big event, if it didn't go through Yuwen Badao's hands, then it could only be Luo Qingyun.

"I do not know."

Luo Qingyun's expression was calm. When he handed the Earth Soul Crystal to Cao Ze, he was already prepared to face Yuwen Badao head-on.

But Yuwen Badao did not take action immediately. He just stared at Luo Qingyun, as if judging whether he was lying.

After a long while, suddenly, a breeze blew by, carrying a few fallen leaves swirling in the air. All the oppressive feelings disappeared, and the air seemed to start flowing again.

"This matter has nothing to do with me. I will return to Donghai County after destroying the Dragon God Temple."

Yuwen Badao spoke again, "But the Yuwen family will definitely not let this go."

"I hope you are prepared to deal with the Yuwen family."

After saying this, he no longer lingered and turned around and disappeared from Luo Qingyun's sight in just three or two steps.

Yuwen Badao is not a fool. He has come to his senses now. Luo Qingyun advised him to let the four families go, perhaps not for Yue Lingke.

But it’s the mysterious man in black!

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken such a long time without Luo Qingyun taking any action towards Yue Lingke.

The master who became a master through self-cultivation without relying on the resources of a large family is indeed an extraordinary talent!

But just for a little guy, would you make enemies with the Yuwen family?
I hope the Luo family is prepared for this!
He would not fall out with Luo Qingyun over this matter. No matter what, Luo Qingyun's favor of saving his life was real, and he would not hide it from him.

He did not ask who the man in black was. Since Luo Qingyun did so, he would definitely not tell him the man in black's true identity.

They also don't need to know the true identity of the man in black. As long as they massacre people in the two cities of Haijiao and Tianya, they will naturally know who the man in black is.

Luo Qingyun looked at the direction where Yuwen Badao left, and his expression became solemn.

Can't wait any longer!
He had sent a communication symbol to his family last time, but never received a reply.

He turned around and went back to the courtyard, without paying attention to Luo Xinjun who was still eating stinky tofu, and went straight into the room.

Luo Xinjun held a piece of stinky tofu and looked at Luo Qingyun blankly, not knowing what was going on.

Back in the room, Luo Qingyun waved his hand and a bright yellow talisman flew out, hovering three feet in front of him. A bubble-like light shield spread out from it, and soon covered the entire room.

Then Luo Qingyun took out another talisman and threw it into the air.

Suddenly, the talisman shone brightly, casting a vivid light and shadow in front.

After a while, the light in front suddenly began to change, and an antique room scene appeared. An old man in a gray robe with an immortal look floated over and came to the center of the screen.

"Qingyun, what's the matter?"

The old man asked a little anxiously.

"Third uncle, is there any follow-up to what I reported to my family a few days ago?" Luo Qingyun asked respectfully.

The old man's face darkened. "Just for this matter, you actually activated the Wanli Zhichi Talisman?"

"The situation is urgent, and I have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure."

Before Luo Qingyun could finish, the old man interrupted, "If there is nothing else, I will hang up first!"

Every second that the Wanlizhichi Talisman is maintained consumes a large amount of resources. Every extra word they say now will cost them a huge price.

"The man I'm talking about has already broken through to the Grandmaster level. He just killed a Grandmaster from the Dragon God Temple a few days ago!"

Luo Qingyun quickly made it short. From his third great-uncle's reaction he had guessed his family's attitude towards the matter.

Grandmaster!

The old man hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head without saying much, but the scene in front of Luo Qingyun became blurry.

"Third uncle, you must report this to my father. It is a matter of great importance..."

Luo Qingyun still wanted to struggle.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a green robe walked into the scene.

"Qingyun, you also know the plight of the Luo family now."

"That boy is indeed a talented person, but it's not worth it to make enemies with the Yuwen family for him!"

"Dad, I can guarantee that in time, he may be able to impact the Dharma body. Maybe we can find a new patron saint for the Luo family!"

Luo Qingyun was exaggerating a bit. He himself was also a genius and had the possibility of impacting the Dharma body, but many geniuses were trapped in front of that door, unable to take even a single step beyond it.

But he really admired Cao Ze!

The middle-aged man in green robe shook his head, "After some time?"

"You still don't understand?"

"We, the Luo family, can't wait any longer!"

After he said this, without giving Luo Qingyun a chance to refute, the picture in front of him completely went out.

Luo Qingyun was a little dazed. He knew that his family had encountered difficulties recently, but he didn't expect the situation to be so difficult.

But he did not give up. Just because the Luo family was powerless did not mean that no one in Donghai County dared to provoke the Yuwen family.

As soon as he thought of this, a talisman appeared in his hand again. He put it on his forehead. After a moment, he raised his hand, and the talisman turned into a green light and quickly disappeared into the sky.

Since he had promised Cao Ze, he had to keep his word, or at least make an effort for it.

It will take about half a year for that crazy couple to reach Cape City, so they still have time!
Even if the plan fails in the end, there is still time for Cao Ze to escape into the East China Sea.

……

Yue Family, Bamboo Garden,
Yue Lingke was leaning against the railing of the pavilion, holding a book in his hands, reading leisurely, while Hong Xing was sitting beside him making tea, but she didn't even notice that the water was overflowing from the cup.

It was obvious that both of them were a little absent-minded.

"Don't worry, that kid is as powerful as a master, it won't be that easy for him to get into trouble!"

Yue Lingke noticed the tea flowing on the stone table and said to comfort him, "That guy obviously didn't use his full strength when fighting with me. He must have some hidden tricks!"

"That Qiu Tianxi is only a first-level Jiaoxue Grandmaster, and he is usually busy with the affairs of the Dragon God Temple. His combat ability is worse than that of most Grandmasters."

"Even if that kid can't beat Qiu Tianxi, escaping won't be a problem."

Recalling the scene of her fight with Cao Ze, she quickly came to this conclusion and had a rough estimate of Cao Ze's strength, so she was no longer worried.

At this time, a gray-clothed servant hurried into the courtyard, holding a scroll in his hand and handed it to Yue Lingke.

"Young Master, this is the latest exchange list of the Demon Subduing Division. The head of the family asked me to bring it over to you for a look!"
