Chapter 780: Ruyan’s Ordeal
The Sixth Elder looked at Lin Tian and asked with a laugh, "Brother Gun King, is this all you require?"
Lin Tian nodded and replied with a smile, "For now, I don’t need anything else. Consider it making a friend, right?"
The First Elder and the Second Elder exchanged a glance and both nodded, further confirming their thoughts.
What kind of place is Luoyan Dock? It’s the location with the richest cultivation resources in the entire Celestial Dragon Continent.
Lin Tian didn’t need a single thing, what does this indicate? It can only mean that he is so well off that he hardly cares!
This kind of person can only be coaxed, not offended.
Thinking of this, the First Elder felt a bit scared. Thankfully, he hadn’t directly opposed Lin Tian before.
After multiple rounds of drink and dishes, Lin Tian and Chen Moxiang left directly. As for the cultivation technique Lin Tian promised, it would take some time to write, so there was no rush.
The three Elders personally escorted the two out of the auction house, with gentle smiles on their faces, appearing to others as a group of intergenerational friends.
Standing at the entrance of the auction house, watching the backs of Lin Tian and Chen Moxiang, the First Elder said, "Old Sixth, have you investigated his background?"
The Sixth Elder nodded, then shook his head, "Yes, I’ve investigated, but unfortunately, found nothing. After all, he’s from the Security Management Institute."
"So what if he’s from the Security Management Institute? According to you, he carries a lot of treasures, there must be sources, surely we can find something?" the First Elder pressed on.
"Ah, big brother..." The Second Elder waved his hand and, with a stern face, said, "Those hidden families have always been known for their mystery. It’s not just that we can’t find information; even if we did, it would upset others. Such an approach is inappropriate!"
The First Elder lowered his head, pondering, and finally nodded in agreement, "The second elder is right, so let’s drop this matter."
"Big brother is wise. But there is another matter that must be resolved swiftly!"
"What is it?"
"That naturally seductive fox of the Xu family!"
At these words, the First Elder’s eyes lit up, "Nearly forgot about this, that fox must die!"
The tone of his words was decisive, filling him with fierce energy, as his Heart Demon began to stir again.
Hundreds of years ago, the old fox of the Xu Family turned the entire aristocracy, including the Alliance, upside down. Such an event must not happen a second time!
"Second Elder, when do you think is a good time to act?"
"Time waits for no one. If this drags on, giving the Xu family ample time to prepare, killing that little fox would be impossible, the Xu family is just too mysterious."
The greatest mystery of the Xu family is from hundreds of years ago when all the families were prepared to annihilate the Xu family. Nearly two thousand faced off against the Xu family’s three hundred, ending in heavy losses, yet the Xu family remained strong and undefeated.
Among all the families, the Xu family is the most low-key, the most mysterious, and the strongest.
The Xu family’s patriarch’s illness was hidden for several years, but when finally exposed, many wanted revenge on the Xu family, and none met good ends.
So opposing the Xu family is something that requires the utmost consideration. But allowing Mei Ruyan to grow is a scenario no one wants to see.
If Mei Ruyan grows, it would be the greatest threat to all families!
This woman must die!
"Hmm, send someone to act tonight. Second Elder, you make the arrangements."
"Big brother, this is the Xu family we’re talking about, I trust no one else, you should go yourself."
"Me?"
"Yes! With your skills, you are the strongest in the entire Luoyan Dock. Going alone makes you a smaller target, easier to succeed."
The First Elder nodded, "But when my aggression kicks in, I can’t control my hands, if I slaughter the entire Xu family, that would cause a major issue."
"Didn’t that guy give you a Heart Method? I tried it before; it’s enough to suppress your current aggressiveness," the Sixth Elder said from the side.
"Alright! Today will be the death day of that little fox!"
...
At the Wang Family residence.
Wang Ping and two elders of the Wang Family were pacing outside a room, hands crossed, beads of sweat almost forming on their foreheads. Their stomachs occasionally grumbled.
"Wang Ping, why don’t you eat something first?" a black-robed Wang family elder asked.
"No need, let’s see if big brother can get out of danger first." Wang Ping waved his hand dejectedly.
Ever since Wang Shi took a shot to the chest from Lin Tian, he’s been in critical condition, his life hanging by medication.
At the auction today, he could have bought the medicine for five hundred and thirty million, but Lin Tian drove the price up to seven hundred million.
The purchased item was a herb capable of saving Wang Shi. If it can save his life, seven hundred million is worth it!
The door creaked open. Two middle-aged men in white robes came out; they were core members of the Wang Family and the most skilled doctors within, also the chief physicians for Wang Shi.
"How is it?" Wang Ping asked eagerly as he stepped forward.
The two doctors exchanged a glance, then said, "The situation is not promising. The patriarch is out of immediate danger, but when he can get out of bed depends on his own fate."
This means they were powerless to help further.
"Damn it!" Wang Ping cursed angrily and stormed outside with large strides.
"Wang Ping! What do you plan to do?" The two elders and doctors followed after him, knowing Wang Ping’s temperament. Usually focused on cultivation, he is fiercely protective, and it was his brother who was injured this time; any rash action was very much in line with his temper.
"Do what? Seek revenge, of course!" Wang Ping shouted.
"Where will you seek revenge?"
"Naturally at the Wang Family! Find that little fox! Last night, aside from people from our Wang Family, there were people from the Xu family. This animosity must be placed on them."
"You’re not wrong, but it’s not the right time now."
Wang Ping furrowed his brow, "What do you mean?"
"It’s just barely dark; even the chickens haven’t slept yet. Going so early, can you kill anyone?" The black-robed elder laughed, "Wait until evening, I’ll go with you then!"
"Very well, I’ll trouble Elder Wang Qu then." Wang Ping cupped his fist toward Wang Qu.
"Ah, it’s as it should be. When the patriarch went to the medicine store last night, didn’t he take the Tang family’s Buddha’s Butcher Knife? Bring it this time too; it might come in handy. Moreover, we are not the only ones who harbor grudges against the Xu family; we should find some help." Wang Qu laughed.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ping’s eyes lit up.
Almost all family clans have a poor attitude towards the Xu family, so finding allies would not be difficult. However, the first person that came to Wang Ping’s mind was Yue Yongnan from the Yue Family!
