Volume 1 Lin Yuan Chapter 20: Qinghuwan, Don't Forget Me If You Get Rich
There are always many truths in the world, just like the changing of seasons and the flowing of flowers and water, but they do not include the fact that two fists cannot beat four hands or one tongue cannot speak six words.
Although Wang Chen was not without the ability to debate with scholars, the six people facing Huang He were all hooligans who were willing to take risks and did not give him any chance to argue.
After thinking about it, he decided that it was most important to leave the bandit's lair first, so he followed Huang He's arrangement and headed thousands of miles away.
The target of this trip was Jiangnan Hall, the base of the Jiangnan Gang in Qinghuwan Town. At this moment, he was riding on the flying sword of a small leader of the gang and was on his way to Qinghuwan.
Seeing the flying sword carrying Wang Chen whizzing past the sky above the hall, the six people who had been arguing about seniority and names like ordinary villagers just now fell silent in an instant.
The kind expression on Huang He's face disappeared instantly. After a brief silence, he said in a cold voice: "Do you think he is from the Shadow Hall?"
"Humph, you haven't even mastered the art of flying, who would believe it?" Mad Dog said with a cruel look on his face.
Yin Hou said in a shrill voice, with a sinister look on his face: "If the boss says yes, then he is."
Vulture had a blank expression on his face, but his eyes were full of scheming. He said in a deep voice, "Even if it is true, how can we allow a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair to sit in the position of the Seventh Brother?"
Mad Dog laughed dryly twice, with a sinister smile spreading from the corners of his mouth: "It doesn't matter who sits in this position, what matters is that I want to kill him, so I will kill him."
"Why do you need to do anything? Don't you think about how the previous Old Seven died? Qinghu Bay? Hahaha, boss, you really are following the orders from the headquarters to the letter. Do we have anyone else in Qinghu Bay?" Yin Hou suddenly scratched his ears and cheeks and laughed.
"He's just a kid at the fourth level of Qi Condensation. I'm afraid he'll be beaten to death and thrown into the gutter the next day."
Huang He nodded kindly.
Xiong Lao San smiled innocently and said, "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. What was the name of Lao Qi last time?"
The six people were stunned and frowned, looking thoughtful, as if they were thinking about something passed down from ancient times.
Xiong Laosan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that his question would cause such a sudden silence. He scratched his head:
"Who cares? I've already brought the person here. Whether he lives or dies from now on is none of my business."
Huang He smiled grimly and said, "Old Third is right. We have carried out the alliance's orders. From now on, whether he lives or dies is none of my business. Dismissed!"
Huang He stood up and walked into the inner hall.
~~
"We need to cultivate to the Flying Sky realm as soon as possible."
Wang Chen looked at the young cadre from the Jiangnan Gang flying in the air in front of him and pondered secretly, then he remembered that the young cadre had never introduced himself from beginning to end.
"Wang Chen, can I just call you by your nickname from now on?" Xiao Yao suddenly said.
"No!" Wang Chen felt like Xiaoyao was rubbing salt into his wounds.
"You said this nickname is impressive yourself!"
Wang Chen almost dropped his flying sword.
After flying for a while, the little leader flew down on his sword, which slashed down diagonally from the clouds.
Without the obstruction of clouds and fog, the view in front of me became wider.
I saw a huge emerald green lake sandwiched between the mountains, with vast waves stretching as far as the eye can see into the distance.
Ships of all sizes can be vaguely seen on the lake, and beside the lake, a beautiful and spacious town is sandwiched between the dazzling green brought by the hills and forests.
"Is this Qinghuwan Town? It's almost like a small town."
Wang Chen was stunned. It was a prosperous place surrounded by mountains and rivers.
"Such a big city, could it be all your property?"
Xiaoyao looked excited.
Wang Chen looked over with a strange expression.
Seeing that Wang Chen did not look happy, Xiaoyao was slightly stunned, and then revealed a look of sudden realization: "Oh, I forgot, such a city, on the surface, is still the property of the government, but this underground world is yours!"
"If you become rich and powerful, please don't forget me." Xiaoyao smiled wickedly, as if there were mountains of delicacies and elixirs in her eyes.
Wang Chen did not respond.
Xiaoyao felt very bored. While he was wondering, the flying sword had already landed in a forest.
Judging from the location, it is quite far from Qinghu Bay.
After jumping down from the flying sword, the little leader bowed his head and said respectfully, "Brother, Qinghu Bay is very hostile to foreign sword-controlling practitioners. In order to avoid attracting attention, we can only walk here."
Wang Chen looked at the little leader, and seeing that he didn't even raise his head, he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." Then he walked leisurely into the town.
The little leader watched Wang Chen's back as he walked away for a distance, and his eyes suddenly became gloomy. When he saw that he had gone far away, he suddenly sneered and said, "You don't know whether to live or die." Then he flew away with his flying sword.
This expression fell into Xiaoyao's eyes as she was looking around. She was horrified and said, "Wang Chen, the way the driver looked at you just now was like looking at a dead person!"
"The title of coachman is good." Wang Chen praised, as if he already knew what the little leader was thinking.
Just now in the Jiangnan Gang, a few people only said that they would hand over the Jiangnan Gang's branch to him for management, but they did not give him a token and did not send him a message. He did not even know where the Jiangnan Gang's base was in this place. It seemed that the Jiangnan Gang's top brass headed by Huang He did not even have the patience to give a perfunctory response.
"This bunch of people really wasted their acting skills in the meeting just now." Looking at Qinghu Bay from afar, there were actually quite a few people who looked like peddlers walking towards the town in the distance. Wang Chen felt a chill in his heart as he walked.
He had no interest in the power that Huang He and others had maliciously pushed upon him, and he was in no mood to take over Jiangnan Hall. The attraction of Qinghu Bay to him lay only in the human settlements, necessary supplies and delicious food.
Including the time he took from Huangpo Village to his encounter under the deep cliff, it took him almost a year to finally get out of the mountains.
He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and quickened his pace.
"Little brother?" A sudden call broke the emotions lingering in Wang Chen's heart.
"Little brother? You're not calling me, are you?"
Wang Chen looked in the direction of the voice.
When I looked up, I saw a young man dressed as a hunter with dark skin, a hearty smile on his face, carrying a large package and looking friendly.
Next to him was a middle-aged man and a girl who was a few years younger than him, who were also looking at him curiously .
The three of them had dark skin, and the little girl was not pretty, but her eyebrows were thick and neat, giving her a wild beauty.
Wang Chen pointed at himself and asked doubtfully, "Are you calling me?"
"Little brother, are you also coming to Qinghuwan to attend the market? Why don't we go together so that we can look after each other?" The young man took two quick steps forward with a smile on his face. His teeth were extremely white, and he was obviously a hunter from a remote village who often drank spring water from the mountains.
As his eyes moved around the three people, a line of text suddenly appeared in front of him:
"Langmu, an experienced hunter from Langlin Village, was contaminated with ghost energy due to a strange encounter in the mountains, thus having a subtle connection with the hidden inheritance. Killing him or robbing his ghost-carrying objects can provide clues to the hidden inheritance, allowing for the next step of exploration. If you miss the clues, the opportunity will be lost. Opportunity strength: great."
The cold description between the lines made Wang Chen slightly stunned.
