Chapter 339: Chapter 134: Underground Control, Forged Soldiers Battle

At this moment, he glanced around and then asked, “Have you found out what I asked you to investigate?”

Several people stood up and reported one after another.

“Reporting to the master, I have found those Social Word Guests who assisted Jing Yunhe in humiliating Cui Rouniang back then. The poison and Cui Rouniang’s whereabouts were sold to Jing Yunhe by those guests…

According to those guests, Jing Yunhe seemed completely unperturbed, as if he knew exactly what would happen afterward and wasn’t worried about any revenge.

One of them even said that Jing Yunhe once mentioned, ’With the Hall Master backing him, he isn’t afraid even if the sky falls.’

“Where are the people?”

“They are in the dungeon. Our Mianzhou Path’s medicine is good, they won’t die, and they can’t die. Heh heh.”

The one reporting was the Cyan Robe Building Master — Wang Hiran.

“Reporting to the master, I inquired about those who helped Jing Yunhe inquire about your family’s whereabouts last year as well.

They said Jing Yunhe seemed to be in full control, showing no signs of panic at all…

Moreover, it’s said that he uttered offensive language.”

“What offensive language?”

“Uh… master, I have tortured those intelligence peddlers to within an inch of their lives.

Hehehehe, daring to insult the mistress, I want them to seek life in vain and seek death in vain, hehehe…

Oh, by the way, we brothers have devised twenty-six ways for them to die slowly and miserably; do you… do you want to choose one?”

“Interrogate for information; if there’s nothing useful, just kill them; the ones who cursed are not them, after all.”

“Yes… yes, yes, yes…”

This report was given by Ouyang Da, one of the “Late Wind” Brothers.

“Master, on my side I’ve found out, Master Zhu has not entertained Divine Wood Hall’s overtures, he’s already gone to the Red Lotus Sect’s territory, and is even crafting Spiritual Artifacts for the Red Lotus Sect’s experts, presumably to implement his elder’s plan.

However, what’s strange is that the Red Lotus Sect has started to become quite chaotic.

I have an uncertain piece of news, saying that besides the Red Lotus Sect, the Black Lotus, White Lotus, and Cyan Lotus Sects have all joined together.”

The speaker is ostensibly the First Madam of “Fujia Commerce Association,” but secretly the Commander of the assassin organization “Shadow Association.”

Her name is Ying Mei’Er, very charming, very seductive, and a villain whose hands are stained with much blood. As for the number of strong men who died in her hands, perhaps as many perished in her bed.

After all, who wouldn’t want to obtain “Fujia Commerce Association’s” wealth and this lady’s beauty?

So, Ying Mei’Er would just crook her finger and have her target come to her willingly, then poison them.

That one day, she enticed Li Yuan.

Li Yuan climbed onto the bed.

Then, he put the “Human Skin Handcuffs” on her.

At this moment, this Ying Mei’Er was reporting information ingratiatingly, then giggled and said, “The master’s grace, Mei’Er will never forget. Mei’Er thought my strength had stagnated, yet never expected… there’s still improvement, heeheehee.

Oh right, master, the weapon you gifted us, it’s selling very well. With these Divine Soldiers clearing the path…

Soon, we will be able to make contact with some major Social World Influence leaders.

By then, we’ll have them come see you and receive your grace.”

Li Yuan nodded and said lightly, “Very good.”

All Seventh Grade Divine Soldiers on the market were released by him.

His purpose was, firstly, to enhance his own side’s power;

Secondly, to make money, and enhance market discourse power;

Thirdly, to expand channel networks, then discover, see, and subdue the “important connection points” in these networks to open up a larger information network for himself.

At this moment, he silently listened to the information gathered from all parties.

He was somewhat puzzled.

He finally completely understood what his father-in-law meant by writing “Be wary of the Hall Master.”

He even collected all the evidence, evidence his father-in-law could never obtain.

But what exactly happened to make the Hall Master “reform himself?”

A Fourth Grade old fellow who’s lived for hundreds of years, what exactly is he thinking?

Li Yuan didn’t know.

But having heard all this, he was already preparing to first build up his power outside and then have his family quietly relocate, at least prepare a retreat.

Thinking of this, he said, “Mei’Er.”

Ying Mei’Er, in her coquettish manner, said, “Master, Mei’Er is here.”

Li Yuan’s voice was cold as he said, “Put away your seductive ways; I don’t like it.”

Ying Mei’Er turned serious, no longer flaunting, and returned to a cold and murderous aura, saying, “Master, please instruct me.”

Li Yuan nodded and said, “Have your Fujia Commerce Association unintentionally come into contact with Hengwu Restaurant, then… build a relationship. I might transfer Hengwu Restaurant into your association.”

Ying Mei’Er said, “Yes, master!”

Then she added sensibly, “Seeing the mistress is like seeing you.”

Li Yuan then looked at the nearby White Horse Alliance Leader—Han Tianxiao, and said in a soft tone, “Brother Han, I know your Bai Ma Manor is always under wraps, with a place specifically for those ’who should have died but didn’t, yet outsiders think they are dead’ knights.”

“Master…” Han Tianxiao stepped forward and said, “Do you want me to arrange a hidden place for the mistress and your family to reside?”

Li Yuan nodded.

Han Tianxiao hesitated and said, “Master, to be honest, the entire Mianzhou Path is a place of trouble. This, I believe… hum… the several Squad Leaders of the Beggar Gang and the Vice Gang Leader know better than anyone else.”

The Beggar Gang “Dongsen Prefecture” Squad Leader, Wen Chengyun, smiled and said, “Alliance Leader Han, we are all one family now, don’t speak like this.”

After saying that, he looked at Li Yuan, respectfully saying, “Master, what Alliance Leader Han said is true.

In Great Zhou’s Nine Paths, the truly safe one is probably only Cloud Mountain Path, extremely remote and full of snow mountains.”

Cloud Mountain Path?

Li Yuan suddenly remembered that the couple “Han Feng” came from Cloud Mountain Path.

He seems to still have a “Cloud Mountain Road’s Snow Mountain Seven Sword Alliance” token.

“Good, then investigate Cloud Mountain Path.

If you find local Social World leaders, try to arrange for them to meet me.”

“Yes, master!”

“Oh right, master, should we come up with a new name for our combined power?”

“No need to overdo it.”

“Yes.”

…

…

Night fell.

Li Yuan lay under the warm covers.

Tonight, sleeping with him was Xue Ning.

The boss lady looked at her man’s furrowed brows, didn’t ask anything, and only warmly said, “Don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”

Li Yuan smiled and replied, “You go to sleep first.”

Late night.

The boss lady slept.

Li Yuan was still awake.

His “eyes” were fully open.

But he could not see into people’s hearts, much less discern a Fourth Grade’s intentions.

What exactly is the reason?

…

…

“Master Zhu, we have confirmed it; that really is Jing Yunhe’s head.

Divine Wood Hall in Yuan Tianfu, the Jing Family not only killed Jing Yunhe but also many prodigal children in the family.”

“…”

“Master Zhu, the Sect Leader wants to see you, if you have any doubts, perhaps you can ask him.”

“Got it…” The middle-aged man with a solemn face stepped away from the furnace and said, “I do have questions to ask him.”

“Oh, Master Zhu, there’s another good news.

Our experts are about to launch attacks on experts from the Divine Wood Hall.

The Spiritual Artifacts you’ve forged can finally come into play.”

“Jing Family, Guo Family, Ma Family…” Zhu Ban counted, “For the families I mentioned, feel free to kill, but do not use my Spiritual Artifacts on others.”

“Alright, alright, we’ll do as you say.”

…

…

The next day.

The snow still fell.

A carriage stopped outside Peach Blossom Lane.

The messenger met with Li Yuan and brought the order from the Guo Family Patriarch.

The Guo Family Patriarch, who once tried to coerce Li Yuan into repaying a favor, is willing to offer fifteen hundred taels of Blood Gold for Li Yuan to forge a Spiritual Artifact for him.

Because he is about to go on an expedition, as a Divine Wood Hall Elder.
