He condensed a palm wind and thrust it at Shangguan Yunque's Dantian. Once his Dantian was damaged, he would surely become a cripple.
However, at this moment, a shout transmitted from afar, "Stop!"
When Shao Qingfeng heard this familiar voice, he was startled. He then curled the corners of his mouth into a cold smile as he looked at Shangguan Yunque and said, "Hehe, it seems like your brother isn't as smart as you imagined him to be."
Lao Ai's expression relaxed slightly, while a cold glint flickered in the depths of his eyes. At the same time, he calmly retreated into the crowd and prepared to carry out his specialty, sneak attacks.
If he went all-out, he would be able to kill Su Yu in the blink of an eye.
Su Yu rushed over quickly and managed to catch up in time.
Then, he gracefully landed in front of Xue Qi.
In an instant, many pairs of eyes fell on Su Yu. They all wanted to see the Central Demon's supreme demeanor.
Xue Qi's clear eyes lit up, and she approached him while wearing a stern look as she said, "Junior brother Su, just tell us what to do. As long as you say it, we will follow your orders. Even if we have to fight fiercely, we will surely help you save Shangguan Yunque."
Su Yu was quite grateful to Xue Qi. Even though Xue Qi wanted to curry favor with him and would surely help him wholeheartedly, he was quite grateful to her.
"Senior sister Xue Qi, please calm down. The eruption of a conflict is probably what they are looking forward to the most. After all, there is a rat hiding in the crowd, ready to fish in troubled waters at any moment." Su Yu revealed a mocking smile. "Isn't that right, senior brother Lao Ai?
He had locked onto Lao Ai even before he had descended, so he could observe his every move. So, how could Su Yu not guard against this man's habit of launching sneak attacks?
"Well? Where is he?" It was only now that Xue Qi noticed that Lao Ai had hidden himself in the crowd. If Su Yu hadn't warned her, Lao Ai would have been able to launch a sneak attack at any one of them.
Many disciples laughed inwardly when they heard this.
They had all heard about Lao Ai's character.
A moment ago, he was still in front of them, yet in the twinkling of an eye, he had hidden himself in the crowd. They were all aware of what he was planning.
Lao Ai's expression became gloomy. Since he had been seen through, he didn't have any chance of launching a sneak attack. So, he could only fight him openly and accidentally kill him.
"Lad, why did you come here? You want me to release Shangguan Yunque? You don't have the right to order me. " Lao Ai spoke coldly. He was ready to fight at any moment. Once he started fighting, he would immediately use his full power to kill Su Yu.
Even from a great distance away, Su Yu could feel Lao Ai's intense murderous intent, which had already locked onto him. Su Yu couldn't help but sneer inwardly … This shameless guy really has the intention to kill me!
"Hehe, I didn't order you to let him go. I just wanted to ask you some questions." Su Yu clasped his hands behind his back and spoke calmly. Coupled with his charming appearance, he looked like a celestial being.
Lao Ai narrowed his eyes. "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Su Yu revealed a faint smile and said, "I just have two questions. First, Shangguan Yunque is just acting as a guarantor, so if those three people come back, should Shangguan Yunque look for them instead of Shangguan Yunque?"
Lao Ai's eyes flickered, and he looked at Shao Qingfeng. It was only when Shao Qingfeng shook his head that he regained his composure.
"According to the rules, if those three people come back, then we should look for them. It doesn't matter if they act as guarantors or anything. However, it seems like they didn't come back."
Su Yu still wore a faint smile. "Second question … If it is discovered that those three people joined hands with someone to harm Shangguan Yunque, then how should we deal with them?"
Lao Ai and Shao Qingfeng were startled, and their gazes flickered. They didn't reply immediately.
"It seems like they can't answer me. Senior sister Xue Qi, can you help me answer them?" Su Yu asked.
Xue Qi's bright eyes flickered. She knew that Su Yu had found the crux of the matter, so she looked at Lao Ai and Shao Qingfeng and sneered coldly. "According to the black market's rules, anyone who dares to join hands to harm a guarantor will have his cultivation crippled. After all, no one will dare to act as guarantors in the future, which will affect our black market's business."
Su Yu nodded, then looked at Lao Ai and Shao Qingfeng and asked calmly, "Did you hear that?"
Shao Qingfeng snorted coldly. "Why are you telling us this? Unless you can find proof, Shangguan Yunque's cultivation will be crippled. "
At some unknown time, Lao Ai had already retreated to Shangguan Yunque's side. He then said coldly, "We have already wasted enough time. Since Shangguan Yunque is a guarantor, and he can't pay back his debt of 500,000 merit points, then he must be punished."
As he spoke, he was about to thrust his palm at Su Yu, while his gaze was fixed on Su Yu.
He had stirred up the situation on purpose so that both sides would start fighting and create chaos.
Just when he was about to thrust his palm at Shangguan Yunque, a shout transmitted from a distant place.
"Senior brother Shao, senior brother Lao, those three people have already been killed according to your orders," a tall and sturdy man shouted at the top of his lungs from afar.
His voice reverberated through the whole plaza.
All of a sudden, the noisy plaza became deathly silent.
The crowd was startled, and they all looked at each other in dismay.
"That's Second Tiger Yang! It's him!" The crowd quickly recognized Second Tiger Yang. His status was similar to Ruffian Long's, so everyone in the black market knew him.
However, his words were really shocking.
Lao Ai and Shao Qingfeng were startled, and their expressions changed drastically.
Lao Ai cast a sidelong glance at Shao Qingfeng and shouted coldly, "What kind of idiots are your subordinates?"
Shao Qingfeng's face became flushed, and he tapped the ground with the tip of his foot, flew over, grabbed Second Tiger Yang's arm, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you crazy?"
However, Second Tiger Yang didn't keep a low profile, and he shouted loudly, "Senior brother Shao, I didn't say anything wrong! Did you ask me to kill those three junior brothers, who asked Shangguan Yunque to be their guarantor?"
"Here, I brought their corpses with me." Second Tiger Yang waved his hand, and the three corpses fell from his ring.
It seemed like they were the three disciples who had run away.
"It's them! I recognize them! I saw them ask Shangguan Yunque to be their guarantor in front of Second Tiger Yang, so that they could borrow merit points!" a disciple cried out in alarm.
When the crowd saw the three dead people, they all went into an uproar, and many shocked and enlightened gazes looked at Shao Qingfeng.
"Second Tiger Yang, what nonsense are you talking about? If you speak another word of nonsense, I will send you to the law enforcement team!" Shao Qingfeng became anxious, as he couldn't understand why Second Tiger Yang would say such a thing in front of so many people.
But, when he looked at Second Tiger Yang's gaze, he didn't seem confused at all.
Second Tiger Yang continued speaking, "Senior brother Shao, what's wrong with you? I didn't speak nonsense! At that time, you instructed me to ask Li Sang and the other two to approach Shangguan Yunque and gain his trust. Then, you asked Shangguan Yunque to be their guarantor in order to extort money from him! How could you forget that?"
The crowd immediately went into an uproar.
Second Tiger Yang had unexpectedly divulged such a matter in front of so many people!
As for whether he was telling the truth or not, everyone was well aware that Shangguan Yunque was a fat sheep in the eyes of the black market, so it was normal for Shao Qingfeng to set his eyes on him!
"Nonsense!" Shao Qingfeng was furious, and he knew that something was amiss with Second Tiger Yang. So, he grabbed his shoulder armor and revolved his Vital Energy to seal his limbs' hundred meridians so that he couldn't open his mouth.
However, when he was about to take Second Tiger Yang away, Su Yu strode forward and pushed Shao Qingfeng away. He wore a faint smile as he said, "Senior brother Shao, why don't you let Second Tiger Yang finish speaking? Now you're in such a hurry to pull him down. I wonder what your intentions are? "
How could Shao Qingfeng not know that he had been tricked by Su Yu?
"Su Yu! You dared to trick me! "Shao Qingfeng's face became flushed with anger. He had always been the one who did things for others, not the other way around!
Su Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Senior brother Shao, I don't understand what you are talking about."
"You are courting death!" Shao Qingfeng flew into a rage and attacked him.
This matter would surely affect the Right Palace Master's business in the outer sanctum's black market.
The lender had colluded with an outsider and tricked his guarantor. So, who would dare to borrow money from him in the future? Who would dare to be his guarantor?
Moreover, Xue Qi's interference would probably cause a great change in the outer sanctum's black market's structure.
At that time, the Right Palace Master wouldn't spare him.
He had wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of Su Yu, but he hadn't expected that he would be tricked by Su Yu.
It could be imagined how much he hated Su Yu.
"Hehe, senior brother Shao, what do you want to do?" A fragrant wind assaulted them as Xue Qi, who was wearing a thin gown, flew over gracefully and easily neutralized Shao Qingfeng's palm strike.
Shao Qingfeng was forced back by her attack and was infuriated. "How daring! Senior brother Lao, why aren't you … "
Shao Qingfeng's heart thumped when he turned his head around to take a look. Lao Ai was nowhere to be seen!
His heart sank when he saw that the situation wasn't right.
Lao Ai had left him behind when he realized that the situation wasn't good for him.
Xue Qi was quite carefree. The outer sanctum's black market's internal strife wasn't something that had been going on for a short while. It had been going on for many years.
There had never been a victor between the two sides, and she hadn't expected that she would finally see the light of day.
"Shao Qingfeng, according to the black market's rules, anyone who colludes with another person to harm their guarantor will be punished by having their cultivation crippled. No one can escape this punishment." Xue Qi's expression was ice-cold.
Shao Qingfeng's face turned pale. Such rules were set by both sides, so how could he obey them obediently?
"You are framing me! I'm a dignified person in charge of the black market, and I can't be convicted just because you say so. We need to investigate this matter," Shao Qingfeng said anxiously. He then shouted at the people behind him, "Why are you still standing there in a daze?"
They understood what he meant, and they immediately rushed over and protected Shao Qingfeng.
After all, he was their big brother, and if he was killed, they wouldn't have a place to stand in the future.
Xue Qi sneered coldly and said, "Outer sanctum's black market's disciples, listen to me! Shao Qingfeng has violated the rules of the black market and framed the guarantor. As such, he should have his cultivation crippled. Now, he wants to stay out of this matter. Do you agree?"
When the black market's members saw that they were about to suppress the other side, they became excited. "We don't agree!"
"Then, what are you waiting for?" Xue Qi chuckled.
Ruffian Long let out a strange laugh and said, "Brothers, let's charge! Let's drive away these pests and bring light to our black market!"
When they heard him, many of the outer sanctum's disciples rolled their eyes. How could there be light in a place like the black market?
However, Shao Qingfeng's actions were really infuriating. He had framed Shangguan Yunque and almost crippled his cultivation!
Shao Qingfeng's face turned deathly pale, as he knew that the other side had an inner sanctum's disciple. So, how could they be a match for him?
"Everyone, stop!"
When the two sides were about to attack, a dignified shout echoed out.
The voice didn't seem angry, but it contained a great spiritual pressure, which made everyone stop fighting.
