After a simple breakfast, Fang Tong and Nie Li talked about the Red Jade District. According to Nie Li, they must have their own plans behind the conflict between Tian Heng and Nie Li. However, one thing was certain: they had a grudge against the Tian Family.
"I'm back." While the two were chatting, Bai Lu had returned from outside. His white robe was still spotless.
"What's the situation?"
Bai Lu sat down and ate a mouthful of food. He seemed to choke and picked up a bowl of porridge to drink.
"Slow down. Tell me the situation first." Fang Tong patted Bai Lu's back.
"I heard their conversation. Tonight, the Tian Family will go to a hall of the Iron Chain Gang to make a deal." Bai Lu's face flashed a sickly red. He must have choked just now. He exhaled, and then explained the situation.
Tonight, the Iron Chain Gang and the Tian Family will make a deal at the Iron Chain Gang's hall during the New Year when the City Lord's Mansion's supervision is lax. The Tian Family will use money to exchange for excellent equipment.
"Is the City Lord's Mansion's supervision so strict? Then why didn't anyone care about the murders that happened before? " Nie Li couldn't help but ask. He had been in Cloud Sea City for so long, but he hadn't learned anything about the City Lord's Mansion.
"Jianghu is like this. Martial arts prevails. There are some things that the government can't control. Martial artists have their own way of dealing with things. As long as you don't do anything out of line, the City Lord won't care. But the City Lord is the head of the city. He definitely can't let the people under his eyes be armed. This will be a threat to him. "
"Moreover, the City Lord is a military official. His martial arts are not bad. But our Song Court is like this. We can't let the military official be in charge alone. Therefore, we sent a supervisor to supervise. Both sides keep each other in check. Balance, this is the art of balance. "Fang Tong patiently explained to Nie Li.
His knowledge was still too shallow. No wonder Wang Huaili was so rampant in the city. His father's position was not inferior to the City Lord's.
"Since you already found out the information last night, why did you only come back now? With your stealth, even if Tian Lei is at the early stage of the Houtian realm, it should be difficult for him to find you! "
"He definitely couldn't find me, but the Iron Chain Gang brought a Xiantian expert. I could only hide in Tian Lei's room. But strangely enough, there's a flowery fragrance in his room. "
Hearing that there was a Xiantian Realm expert in the Iron Chain Gang, Fang Tong sucked in a breath of cold air. Nie Li knew who Bai Lu was talking about. Ding Meng, who was by Wei Wuyou's side, was actually a Xiantian Realm expert. Nie Li never thought that his strength would be unstoppable in Cloud Sea City.
"But at the same time, I also discovered two things. Firstly, that silkpants Wei Wuyou seems to have taken a liking to Tian Zijin, and Tian Lei seems to want to bring them together. " Hearing Bai Lu's words, Nie Li could imagine that at such a critical juncture, in order to hug the thigh of the Iron Chain Gang, Tian Lei would definitely give his daughter away with both hands. Not to mention a playboy, even a fool would marry her. Because Zhou Qing was of no help to him.
"Secondly, the person who injured me that time was right next to Tian Lei. I think his name is Zhou Qing. It's the person Nie Li mentioned last time. "Bai Lu revealed two shocking news in succession.
Hearing the first news, Nie Li's heart only rippled a little, but the second was different. He never thought that Zhou Qing would actually be able to injure Bai Lu. This meant that his martial arts were definitely not low, at least not inferior to his own.
Fang Tong pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, let's prepare tonight and go to the Iron Chain Gang's hall. I want them to lose both their people and their wealth." She definitely had her own considerations. She was afraid that the Xiantian Realm expert would not casually make a move. Otherwise, not many people in Cloud Sea City would be able to resist.
"No problem." Nie Li and Bai Lu were very excited. The two of them stood up and went to prepare. Bai Lu's body was a little sluggish, which attracted their attention.
"It's nothing. Maybe last night's operation was a little too exhausting. I'll be fine after some rest." Bai Lu waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need to worry about it. She then left the hall with Nie Li. Fang Tong raised her head and glanced at Bai Lu.
Returning to his room, Nie Li sat down cross-legged, circulating his demonic arts and accumulating his internal energy. He felt that he was only a step away from the Blood Transformation Realm. His internal organs were full of vitality, and every movement was very powerful. It was obvious that he had already reached the large success stage of Viscera Training.
More haste, less speed. In a few days, he would ask Fang Tong for advice. Tonight, the most important thing was the Ghost Palace's operation. The Iron Chain Gang and the Tian Family, he would take revenge for last time.
In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon. Nie Li put on his luxurious crimson robe, let his hair down, and took out the ghost mask from under his pillow. He could clearly feel the cold touch on his skin.
He opened the door and walked along the long corridor to the hall in the front yard. The other members of the Ghost Palace were already prepared. They lined up neatly in the courtyard, weapons in their left hand and masks in their right.
Nie Li also stood in front of them. Everyone was motionless as they watched the sun gradually set in the west, revealing a touch of dusky yellow in the western sky. Fang Tong finally came out, but Bai Lu didn't come with her.
"Nie Li, I sent Bai Lu to carry out other tasks. This is a map with detailed markings. Take them there tonight! Remember, safety first. "Fang Tong handed Nie Li a blueprint and patted him on the shoulder.
"I got it." Nie Li nodded. Looking at the darkening sky, when darkness once again engulfed the world, he put on the ghost mask, and everyone behind him put on the ghost mask as well.
"When the Ghost Palace moves, there will be no survivors." Nie Li's voice came from the mask. Because of the mask, the voice sounded a little strange. It was very strange.
"Swish!" Nie Li leaped, and a red figure appeared on the high wall a few meters away. The others followed closely behind. Nie Li already knew the terrain of the Cloud Sea City.
Therefore, with a glance at the map, he knew where the Iron Chain Gang's hall was. He brought everyone along the route marked on the map. Along the way, there were dark alleys and other places with less people.
Soon, they arrived at one of the Iron Chain Gang's halls. It was a large mansion located on the east side of the Cloud Sea City. It wasn't far from the city gate, and there was a river not far away that led to the outside of the city. It was probably for the convenience of travel.
Nie Li and the others hid in the courtyard beside the mansion. He brought a few people with good Qing Gong to hide in a big tree at the side, overlooking the hall. He also sent a few people to monitor both sides of the river.
Time slowly passed. If it wasn't for their martial arts, they wouldn't have been able to hold on. Nie Li had to admit that the Ghost Palace's people's mentality and determination were pretty good. At the very least, they didn't show any signs of impatience.
The air was silent. They deliberately slowed down their breathing. There was no one on the street. Many people's lights had already been extinguished. Cloud Sea City was shrouded in darkness, and the moon above was also covered by dark clouds.
A burst of hurried footsteps sounded. Nie Li noticed a group of people coming from the corner of the street. There were about ten people, and their martial arts weren't very high. Two of them were carrying a box. Only the tall guy in the lead had a large blade on his back, giving off an oppressive feeling. His identity was clear, it was Li Gang from before.
"Endure for a little longer." Nie Li looked at the restless crowd and signaled them not to be anxious. He told them to wait here while he slid down from the tree and arrived at the courtyard.
When the others saw Nie Li return, they knew that the battle was about to begin.
"In a moment, Zhang Chong, you take a few people with high martial arts and charge in from the front. We will attack from the side. "Nie Li said to a person holding a long spear.
"Okay, no problem." Although there was some danger in a direct confrontation, Nie Li and the others were supporting from the side, so there was nothing to worry about.
"Reporting, Commander. A large ship is coming from the west. "Just as everyone was preparing to move, a person came back from the backyard and reported.
The goods should be on the ship, but since they dared to send it over, they can forget about taking it back.
"Da Hu, since you discovered it, you take a few smart people and wait for the battle to start. Then go and search for it and set it on fire. The enemy will be distracted, then turn back to the battlefield and attack from the back. "Nie Li instructed Da Hu, who had just reported.
These things were what he had read in the books in the private school since he was young. He didn't expect that after so many years, it would come in handy.
"Okay." Hearing Nie Li's careful plan, everyone was once again impressed by the commander. If they were afraid of his strength before, now they were convinced by his wisdom.
These people were the children of poor families. Where did they go to school? So they joined the Cloud Sea Gang at a young age to add to their family's livelihood.
Everyone scattered. Da Hu took five people and sneaked to the back. Zhang Chong took ten people and rubbed his hands. Plus the three people on the tree, there were twenty people in total. Including Nie Li, there were twenty-one people. The odds of winning were quite good.
Nie Li jumped on the tree and looked down at the hall below. After Li Gang and others entered, they left the door ajar. Then they passed through the front yard and came to a training field in the back. Seven boxes of treasures were placed in a row. Li Gang ordered a person to search the houses around. Maybe this group of people wanted to rob them.
The big ship in the distance stopped. Nie Li felt that it was familiar. It was the ship that Wei Wuyou drove last night. More than a dozen people came down from the ship and carried the boxes to the training field from the back door. There were five people left at the back door.
With a glance, Nie Li knew that although this alliance was formed, both sides did not trust each other. However, since there were a few people left at the back door as backup, Da Hu and others would have a hard time. He had to think of a way to lure them in.
"Did you bring the things?" The Iron Chain Gang sent a Blood Transformation Realm expert to lead the transaction. After he walked in, he looked at Li Gang and others arrogantly.
Li Gang saw that the other side's numbers were not less than his own. Moreover, they were stronger. Looking carefully, the other side was basically at the Viscera Training Realm. There were also three Blood Transformation Realm experts. On his side, there was only one.
"I brought them. Seven boxes of treasures. Take a look." Li Gang waved his hand, indicating that the seven boxes in front of him were the chips he brought. The Blood Transformation Realm expert opened the boxes in front of Li Gang. Looking at the gold, silver, and jewels inside, his eyes were filled with greed.
"Come, bring them up." The Iron Chain Gang's leader nodded his head in satisfaction. He then signaled the people behind him to bring up the ten boxes.
"The Tian Gang's main armament is here. You guys carry these things away. " After he finished speaking, several Viscera Training Realm experts swarmed over. One of the Blood Transformation Realm experts could not hold back and ran over to the nearest treasure box.
Li Gang stretched his hand behind his back and looked at them with a sneer.
"Leave? You think you can leave?" The calm scene was like a clap of thunder.
