Lu Jinghong's eyes were filled with disbelief when he saw the face of the corpse on the ground.
The corpse on the ground was actually Long San, the madman from the Long family and the first on the Asura Yellow List.
Lu Qian and Lu Yingying also noticed Long San's corpse. They were equally shocked and in disbelief.
Long San was very strong. Even in the entire black market, he was considered one of the strongest.
Lu Jinghong estimated that even Old Ye, the bladesman by Nie Tian's side, wasn't a match for Long San.
Then, who killed Long San?
"Young Master Long San is dead?" Lu Jinghong finally reacted after a few seconds. He turned around and looked at the furious Long Qianchou.
"Mr. Lu, are you spouting nonsense?" Long Qianchou flew into a rage out of humiliation. He didn't care about Lu Jinghong's identity and spoke in a Cold tone.
"How did Long San die?" Lu Jinghong asked in shock.
"How did he die?" Long Qianchou retorted. His sinister gaze locked onto Nie Tian and he roared, "He killed him!"
Then, he suddenly looked at Lu Jinghong and coldly rebuked, "This kid is a guest of your Asura Auction House. Lu Qian even personally came out to protect him. You, Lu Jinghong, can't escape responsibility for this matter!"
Lu Jinghong's gaze trembled violently. He then smiled stiffly and said, "Long Qianchou, don't talk nonsense. City Lord Nie Tian is only in the sixth stage of the True Essence Stage. How could he have killed Young Master Long San? This joke isn't funny at all. "
If Nie Tian had really killed Long San, the Asura Auction House would indeed be implicated.
Lu Qian personally came out to protect Nie Tian. This further proved that the latter had an extraordinary relationship with the Asura Auction House.
If the Long family went crazy over Long San's death, it was possible that they would directly declare war on the Asura Auction House.
"Nonsense?" Long Qianchou's gaze was ice-cold. A vicious voice came from his throat. "I personally saw him smash Long San's head with a palm strike. Is this also nonsense? Lu Jinghong, if you don't believe me, you can ask him yourself! "
Lu Jinghong's body trembled, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. As if he had just woken up from a dream, he turned to look at Nie Tian and immediately noticed the ten-thousand-year-old Ice Soul in the latter's palm. He suddenly thought of something and panicked, and he asked in shock, "City Lord Nie Tian, did you really kill Lord Long San?"
He could already tell that the ice crystal on Nie Tian's palm was the Long family's ancestral treasure, the Ten Thousand Year Ice Soul.
According to the rumors in the black market, Long San's Origin Spirit was a ten thousand year Ice Soul. But now it was in Nie Tian's hands. Without a doubt, he had killed Long San!
Nie Tian slightly furrowed his brows and lightly said, "He came to me on his own. I was just forced to make a move."
His calm reply confirmed a shocking fact: Nie Tian had really killed Long San!
Lu Jinghong's eyes were filled with astonishment. The scene in front of him felt extremely surreal.
Previously in the Asura Arena, he had sworn that Nie Tian was no match for Lu Mingxuan. But now, he saw Nie Tian killing the Asura Yellow List's number one.
All of this was too shocking. Even with Lu Jinghong's composure, he needed time to accept it.
"How is it?" Long Qianchou's eyes were filled with dense killing intent as he stared at Nie Tian. He roared, "He personally admitted to killing Long San. What else do you have to say, Lu Jinghong?"
Lu Jinghong's expression was stiff for a long time. After a long time, he calmed down and his mind was spinning rapidly.
Originally, he was worried that Nie Tian would die at Long San's hands. Little did he expect that the situation would turn around and Long San would die at Nie Tian's hands.
With Long San dead, this matter was completely blown up. The Long family would definitely not take this lying down. Not only would they take revenge on Nie Tian, but they would also take revenge on the Asura Auction House.
Even if Lu Jinghong wanted to draw a clear line between him and Nie Tian, the Long family wouldn't believe him.
If Lu Jinghong didn't have any relationship with Nie Tian, would he still appear here?
Lu Jinghong was a smart person. He understood this point and knew that he was already tied to Nie Tian.
"Long Qianchou, what do you want now that things have come to this?" Thinking of this, Lu Jinghong didn't explain anything and directly asked in a Cold tone.
"It's very simple." Long Qianchou smiled coldly. Killing intent flashed in his sinister eyes as he said, "Let him hand over the ten-thousand-year-old Icesoul and then kneel in front of Long San to commit suicide. We'll give half of the Asura Auction House to the Long family and our Long family will no longer pursue this matter. How about it?"
"Don't even think about it!" Lu Jinghong roared and flatly refused.
He had nothing to do with this matter, yet he had to pay half of the Asura Auction House's profits. He naturally couldn't agree.
Moreover, it was impossible for Nie Tian to kneel in front of Long San to commit suicide. Apart from the first condition, the others were just wishful thinking.
"Lu Jinghong, you don't agree? Then just wait for the Long family's wrath! "Long Qianchou's eyes flickered with a sinister light as he snarled.
Lu Jinghong's expression suddenly sank and he said in a Cold tone, "Long Qianchou, I know you're the Long family's Grand Elder, but this status isn't high enough. If you want to threaten me, ask Long Qianhua to do it himself! Although the Asura Auction House isn't considered a peak power in the black market, it's absolutely not a place that anyone can bully. If the Long family wants to start a war, then I, Lu Jinghong, will accompany you to the end! "
Lu Jinghong had a nickname in the black market: Asura Lu.
He never accepted threats from anyone, not even the Long family!
Lu Jinghong was one of the top five powerhouses in the black market. Even if the Long family had a deep foundation, they would still have to pay a disastrous price if they wanted to destroy the Asura Auction House.
"You …" Long Qianchou's face flushed red and he didn't know what to say. He didn't expect Lu Jinghong to be so unyielding.
"Lord Asura, I haven't seen you for decades, but your unyielding character hasn't changed at all." At this moment, another faint voice rang out in the void. Shortly after, a black-clothed figure descended with a dense oppressive aura. His entire body was wrapped in a black robe, and even his face was covered in darkness and couldn't be seen clearly.
When this figure descended, he floated in mid-air like a specter. The space around him was shrouded in a layer of faint black gas that emitted a strange aura.
Nie Tian looked at the newcomer and felt that the other party was like an abyss with a huge, dark mouth that could devour everything at any time.
"Black Qilin!" When Lu Jinghong saw the newcomer, his gaze trembled slightly. Shortly after, he sneered, "I didn't expect you to still be alive!"
"Lord Qilin!" Long Qianchou, Shangguan Yan, and the others exclaimed at the same time. Shortly after, they bowed slightly to show their respect.
In the Long family, apart from the Family Head, Long Qianhua, there was another person who had the same status as the Family Head, and that was the Lord Qilin in front of them.
Of course, the Ten Thousand Year Ice Soul in Long San's body was personally integrated by Lord Qilin.
Lord Qilin turned to Lu Jinghong and didn't show any anger. Instead, he smiled faintly and said, "Lord Asura, our Family Head has said that he will give you face. This kid's life will be spared."
"Many thanks." Lu Jinghong frowned slightly and expressed his gratitude indifferently.
