Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 99: Chapter 86: Forced Conscription, Unbearable Suffering, Intolerable

Noon, the next day, City Lord’s Mansion of Yunze City.

Lu Kai, Patriarch of the Lu Family, Xie Qin, Patriarch of the Xie Family, and Mu Yue, Patriarch of the Mu Family, among others, gathered together.

Their expressions were very serious because now they knew the news of the destruction of the Li Family.

This was a major incident for the entire Yunze City.

If not cautious enough, it could trigger unrest in Yunze City, potentially leading to it being overrun.

”What exactly happened?”

”Who on earth destroyed the Li Family?”

Xie Qin, Patriarch of the Xie Family, was quite familiar with the situation of the Li Family. In its heyday, the Li Family had considerable power, having produced Martial Arts Grandmasters, and even Cultivators in the past.

Unfortunately, the family’s fortunes had declined.

Now, the Li Family couldn’t even produce a single Grandmaster.

However, even so, the power of the Li Family was second only to their three families.

A family like this, apart from a Martial Arts Grandmaster, no one could destroy them.

”Not sure.”

”But the one who acted must be a Grandmaster.”

Lu Kai, Patriarch of the Lu Family, was also very angry. After all, the Li Family had been annexed by the Lu Family; it could be said the Li Family was like their dog, and supposedly beating a dog had to happen with the owner’s awareness.

Now, someone had actually destroyed the Li Family; this was indeed a slap in the face for the Lu Family.

It was simply outrageous.

He absolutely couldn’t tolerate such an occurrence.

”A Grandmaster? In the entirety of Yunze City, apart from our three families, where else is there a Grandmaster?”

”Could it be that the Red Eyebrow Army sent a Grandmaster to infiltrate our Yunze City?”

Mu Yue, Patriarch of the Mu Family, had an unpleasant expression.

Because if a Grandmaster truly infiltrated Yunze City, it was not good news for them.

If it came to a critical moment, this Grandmaster who infiltrated Yunze City suddenly made a move, combining forces inside and out, Yunze City surely wouldn’t withstand it and would be instantly breached.

They must find that mysterious Grandmaster and prevent dangers before they occur.

”Where in the world are there so many Grandmasters.”

”I think it’s very likely the one who acted is Bat King Yang Qin.”

”It’s said that this person’s Martial Arts Cultivation has long reached the Perfection of the Refining Organ Realm, just one step away from becoming a Grandmaster.”

”Now he has also obtained the Essence Blood of Grandmaster Mu Da, perhaps advancing further to become a Grandmaster.”

”The Bat Demon Technique he cultivates is very peculiar, requiring the devouring of a large amount of Martial Artists’ Essence Blood.”

”Moreover, the stronger the Martial Artist, the greater the benefit to Bat King Yang Qin.”

”Presumably, in order to improve his Martial Arts Cultivation, Yang Qin made a move against the Li Family.”

Xie Qin, Patriarch of the Xie Family, spoke of his suspicion.

He felt that if it were really a Grandmaster sent by the Red Eyebrow Army, there was absolutely no way they would expose their whereabouts at this time, thereby alerting them; this was clearly a case of beating the grass to scare the snake.

After contemplating repeatedly, he felt the one who acted must be Bat King Yang Qin.

Only he possibly has the motive and ability to act.

”It’s a strong possibility.”

”Normally, if a Grandmaster truly infiltrated, they would be too busy hiding, where would they have the time to commit a crime.”

”But Bat King Yang Qin is different; his Cultivation Technique requires a large amount of Essence Blood, so he often needs to act.”

”This way, he can fulfill Yang Qin’s daily Cultivation needs.”

”Hateful, this guy killed our family’s ancestor, and now he’s starting to commit crimes in Yunze City.”

”He must be captured and made to pay the price.”

Mu Yue, Patriarch of the Mu Family, was seething with anger.

He detested Yang Qin to the extreme.

If it weren’t for this guy’s covert actions, Mu Family’s Grandmaster wouldn’t have died.

It was precisely because of the opponent’s actions that Mu Da’s life was ended.

It could be said Yang Qin was Mu Family’s greatest nemesis, the enmity was utterly irreconcilable.

Of course, they also didn’t know about the relationship between Bat King Yang Qin and the Li Family.

After all, for the Li Family, this was a matter that could cost one’s life.

Aside from a few confidants, others didn’t know about Yang Qin’s existence.

Previously, Jiang Fan took action and dealt with most of the Li Family’s Elders.

Virtually all informed parties were dead.

So naturally no one knew about the collaboration between Bat King Yang Qin and the Li Family.

”Looks like patrols need to be intensified during this period.”

”We must find traces of Bat King Yang Qin.”

”Now, the war is on the verge of breaking out, and we absolutely can’t let Yunze City have such a hidden danger.”

The crowd discussed fervently.

They all pinned the suspicion on Bat King Yang Qin.

But this was also quite a normal thing.

Who could have imagined that the one who wiped out the Li Family was someone ordinary and unremarkable?

Moreover, Jiang Fan had never appeared in anyone’s sight.

Naturally, this wouldn’t arouse anyone’s suspicion.

For a moment, the entire Yunze City became even more chaotic, with many soldiers starting to search house to house in Yunze City, trying to find traces of Bat King Yang Qin.

Of course, these people naturally returned empty-handed.

As for the Li Family, after losing most of their High-tier Martial Artists, they were ruthlessly abandoned by the Lu Family and expelled from the Money Gang.

Even some malevolent forces started to eye the Li Family.

This also subjected the Li Family to tremendous oppression.

In order to survive, the remaining members of the Li Family could only abandon a large portion of their wealth and scatter.

......

Several days passed.

The battle between Yunze City and the Red Eyebrow Army became more and more intense.

Due to the Red Eyebrow Army’s relentless aggression, Yunze City soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

Several times they were almost breached at the city gates.

If not for the Martial Artists of the three families stepping in, Yunze City might have already been broken.
