Chapter 983: Robbing the Rich to Help the Poor
"Young Master Ling! How are you?"
"Xiao... Xiao... Xiao..."
"Xiao Mian! My name is Xiao Mian! Not Xiao Xiao Xiao!" Xiao Mian stared at Ling Tianfeng's pupils with a smile, muttering to himself: "Young Master Ling! We are also friends who have been through hardships together. It's not good for you to be so enthusiastic right at the beginning?"
"You!" Finally regaining some consciousness, Ling Tianfeng swept his consciousness and was shocked to see that all the top-level Jindan cultivators who were ordered by him to attack Xiao Mian before fell to the ground and lost consciousness. His face turned pale and pale, and Ling Tianfeng begged for mercy: "Brother Xiao, please forgive me! Brother Xiao, spare my life! Ling was blind and offended Brother Xiao, I hope..."
"Brother Ling! It's rare that you didn't choose Xiao as your opponent today. Why are you telling me so much? Your opponent is my eldest brother! You have to listen to him if he wants to kill you or cut you up!"
While speaking, Xiao Mian pointed to Gui Hai not far away.
Ling Tianfeng really didn't want to look at Gui Hai, but he had to look at him.
"This... this brother! Ling is sorry! Please name a price. Ling is willing to pay a certain amount of spirit stones, just to calm you down!"
"Name a price? Mr. Ling! How much spirit stones are your life worth? Don't you know?"
"I... one hundred - no! Three million middle spirit stones!" Ling Tianfeng just said this, Gui Hai raised the ghost head knife, gestured on Ling Tianfeng, and said to himself: "Three million middle spirit stones? If I cut off an arm first, it can barely make do!"
"Five... five million middle spirit stones!"
"Deal!"
Putting away the ghost head knife, Gui Hai looked at Ling Tianfeng leisurely.
Ling Tianfeng was stunned, and then hurriedly searched for his storage magic weapon, but he only raised about two million middle spirit stones. In a hurry, Ling Tianfeng suddenly turned around and glared at the spirit stone vendors who invited him to such a dangerous situation, without saying a word.
Those spirit stone vendors were already scared silly.
After being glared at by Ling Tianfeng, some smart ones reacted and quickly collected the spirit stones on their bodies and handed them to Ling Tianfeng obediently.
Many of these spirit stone vendors were family generals of the Ling family.
However, they were sent to Yanshi City to manage business. They were not people with amazing combat power. They were just ordinary cultivators of the initial and intermediate stages of the Golden Core.
How dare they offend Ling Tianfeng?
In addition, Ling Tianfeng was dragged into this dangerous situation by them. For a while, everyone gave their knowledge to him, fearing that Ling Tianfeng would settle the score later.
So in just a moment, Ling Tianfeng's income far exceeded 5 million middle spirits.
Even Ling Tianfeng was a little surprised. Xiao Mian beside him took the lead and took all the storage magic weapons in Ling Tianfeng's hand.
Without looking back, Xiao Mian waved to Ling Tianfeng, and then followed Gui Hai out of Yanshi City. Before leaving, Gui Hai grinned at Ling Tianfeng.
It was this smile that completely extinguished Ling Tianfeng's intention to pursue...
This is not a human!
It is clearly a killing god!
As for Xiao Mian, after he and Gui Hai walked out of Yanshi City, he handed all the spiritual stones to Gui Hai, and asked him to rush back to Dahuai Village to find Liu Zhigang to distribute them.
Previously, Xiao Mian had talked to Liu Zhigang about the spiritual stone veins and miners. Because of the many changes that occurred in Yanshi City last time, the miners in Yanshi City were very miserable this year. Now that he had these spiritual stones, Xiao Mian wanted Liu Zhigang to distribute them to the miners.
For the time being, it can be regarded as robbing the rich to help the poor...
As for Xiao Mian himself, he turned a corner and went back to Yanshi City.
It's just that Xiao Mian at this time has changed his appearance and put on the Wanhua Lingxiang. Even his body shape has changed because of the "Wanduan Zhengshen Curse".
Xiao Mian wants to see: Is Zhao Liyuan a human or a ghost!
If those spirit stone vendors did not frame Zhao Liyuan, then the matter is intriguing. Of course, everything will have to wait until Xiao Mian finds Zhao Liyuan to know.
Xiao Mian didn't expect that after a thorough investigation, he didn't find any trace of Zhao Liyuan.
It was as if that kid disappeared from the huge Yanshi City.
This made Xiao Mian feel that Zhao Liyuan must have a secret that he couldn't tell - but Xiao Mian didn't plant the Heart Demon Sword on Zhao Liyuan before.
After searching in Yanshi City, he didn't see any trace of Zhao Liyuan, so Xiao Mian had to give up. After all, Yanshi City is now in a state of panic.
More importantly, Xiao Mian received a message from Xie Ying.
When leaving Tianxia City that day, Xiao Mian left a little star with Xie Ying, in order to keep in touch with Xie Fatty, who has considerable power in Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce.
No, today, Xie Ying took the initiative to contact Xiao Mian.
Find a training inn, Xiao Mian connected with Xie Ying.
"Boy! Are you in Yanshi City?"
"Yes! What? Is Big Brother here too?"
"It would be great if Fatty was here! No! This matter is extremely tricky, even if Fatty is here, it's useless!" After a pause, Xie Ying got back to the point: "Do you remember that I told you that day that my Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce has set up a special office in Yanshi City?"
"Yes! It seems to be specially for dealing with Yunlimei and Juhuaqing, but the prices of those two minerals have now dropped significantly..."
"It's not the ore! The office was attacked!"
"What!?"
Even Xiao Mian, who has always been bold, was shocked when he heard this.
Even though the office in Yanshi City was inconspicuous, it was still an asset of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce. Back then, the incident in Lingchuan Market had angered Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce.
Unexpectedly, the office in Yanshi City was attacked.
Who is so bold?
"The details are not clear yet. Our Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce has sent a special investigation team to Yanshi City, but Yanshi City is far away from Chu County. Even if we use a treasure ship or a long-distance teleportation array, it will not be possible to arrive overnight..."
Xie Ying's intention was naturally to let Xiao Mian go to investigate the office first.
"The office in Yanshi City is not large in scale. Most of them are local monks in Yanshi City. There are only two people who are truly affiliated with our Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce: one is the director of the office, Xu Yanmo, and the other is Xu Yanmo's bodyguard Yuchi Shang! I have transmitted their appearances, please take care of them!"
"..., I understand!"
After cutting off contact with Xie Ying, Xiao Mian indeed collected the appearances of Xu Yanmo and Yuchi Shang from the Beidou Si Nan disk and memorized them in his heart.
In addition, there is also the detailed address of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce's office in Yanshi City.
Soon, Xiao Mian followed the map and went to the door.
All he saw was a ruin...
The office of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce was not conspicuous, so few people would notice this manor on weekdays. Now, it has become a ruin.
Just as Xiao Mian frowned and said nothing, three figures suddenly turned out from the shadow of the ruins...
All of them were high-level Jindan cultivators, which made Xiao Mian speechless.
In just a moment, Xiao Mian subdued all three people.
"You! Do you know who we are? You have committed such a heinous crime in my Yanshi City, and you dare to come to check it out. You are really brave!"
Without waiting for Xiao Mian to interrogate, the leader of the three shouted at Xiao Mian.
Xiao Mian frowned slightly, and sent a trace of soul-suppressing poison into the man's body with his backhand. After completely suppressing it, he came to the other two.
"Are you from Yanshi City? You didn't do this ruin?"
"No! Of course not! Didn't you do it?"
"If it was me, would I be so stupid as to fall into their trap?" As he spoke, Xiao Mian took out a seal from the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce and shook it at the man. As the man's face changed slightly, Xiao Mian said to himself: "I think you two should know that this property belongs to the office of our Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce. Now it has been attacked for no reason. I'm afraid it's not something you two or three people can handle? Yanshi City, what do you say?"
"You! Are you from the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce?"
"Nonsense! Talk! Yanshi City How do you plan to deal with this matter? "
"I... Daoist friend! I'm just an errand boy. How can I have the right to interfere in such a big matter?" At this point, seeing that Xiao Mian was unmoved, the man whispered: "I heard... it seems that those foreign monks in Yanshi City are doing something wrong!"
"Foreign monks?"
"Yes! Yes! I heard that Nanyue Xiao Mian burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. Could it be that he took a risk because he was attracted by the wealthy people of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce..."
"Oh? Nanyue Xiao Mian?" Xiao Mian touched his nose, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He never thought that he would be fooled by the questioning. Looking at the Yanshi City monk who was still scolding "Nanyue Xiao Mian" in front of him, Xiao Mian really had to admire the other party's rich imagination. At the end, Xiao Mian smiled calmly: "Thank you for all your efforts to help Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce solve its problems."
"No... I dare not! I dare not!"
"Okay! Don't bother with this matter, I will handle it myself!"
Waving his hand, Xiao Mian dispersed the soul-suppressing poison in the leader's body and signaled the three to leave quickly.
After the three left, Xiao Mian wandered around the ruins and left quietly.
After that, a large group of Jindan cultivators rushed to the scene, but where was Xiao Mian?
It's no wonder that Yanshi City mobilized so many troops. It was the industry of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce that was destroyed. Thinking back to the past, Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce was so angry that even the huge Dongwu State had to lower its status, and Baishou Weng, a Tianzun Realm, came to Tianxia City in person.
If this matter is not handled properly, Yanshi City will follow the footsteps of Dongwuzhou...
Yanshi City, although located in Zhongzhou, is only one of the six major cities in Yinshang Realm, one of the three realms, and it is also the smallest city among them.
How can a small Yanshi City be compared with Dongwuzhou, one of the five realms in the world, and how can it withstand the wrath of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, which is known as the tenth holy land?
If we can't figure out the clues before the envoys of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce arrive, Yanshi City and even the entire Yinshang Realm may face economic sanctions from Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce.
For Yanshi City, that is definitely not a good thing...
