In certain places and in the eyes of certain people, the deaths of two Black Wolf commanders was an earth-shaking matter, but in other places and in the eyes of other people, it was just a small matter.
The difference in authority led to completely different perspectives. Whether it was Wang Pushi who disliked Li Qingshan or Hwa Seung-zan who liked Li Qingshan, they both treated this as a small matter. They reached an agreement with just a few words.
Wang Pushi said, "Fair enough. It's not like we need to do anything if we want to deal with that kid anyway."
Hwa Seung-zan asked, "What's wrong?"
Wang Pushi said, "Vice sect master Wei has already taken the four grannies to Jiaping city. His son of a bitch has gone underground to find Li Qingshan. He hasn't returned, so I think he's done for. What, didn't you hear your mistress mention it?"
Hwa Seung-zan said, "You said it yourself. She's his mistress, not his wife. He's the sect master, so he obviously has to consider the interests of the sect. The child really does seem to be quite important to them. They really don't take the words of a vice commander seriously! " He had told them not to touch Li Qingshan. Now that the sect had ignored him and forcefully taken action, it was equivalent to ignoring his authority.
Wang Pushi raised an eyebrow. "You've undergone the heavenly tribulation. If we work together, I'd like to see just who in the fifteen hundred kilometers of the Clear River prefecture dares to defy your will, Hwa Seung-zan?"
Two Foundation Establishment cultivators and Black Wolf guards would definitely possess great authority in the entire Clear River prefecture. Compared to them, the tenth layer of Qi Practitioner was only a single step away, but it was worlds apart.
Hwa Seung-zan smiled heartlessly. "Cultivation is about going with the flow. It can't be forced."
Wang Pushi said, "Whatever. We'll do as you say this time. We won't capture him, nor will we protect him. We'll just wait and see. I'd like to see whether the kid can survive this or not!"
Hwa Seung-zan leapt up and crouched down on the table. He patted Wang Pushi's shoulder. "He's someone that boss Gu admires no matter what. Old Wang, don't be upset. It might affect your cultivation."
Wang Pushi said,
So what? I'm also someone that Elder Gu … Commander Gu admires, and I was almost brought in by you! If I didn't have this spirit, I'd be a dying old man right now. I am going to the Hundred Schools of Thought. Let's see which kid is willing to go down there and take over the position of vice commander. "
Regular Qi Practitioners could only barely become a Black Wolf guard after putting their lives on the line. On the other hand, those who came from the Hundred Schools of Thought were directly appointed as commanders. The gap between them was huge.
After Wang Pushi left. Hwa Seung-zan's face darkened as he sighed. Even if he was extremely intelligent and prided himself on being a genius, what was the use if he couldn't close the gap?
While the geniuses stood still and sighed, the mortals crawled on the ground.
"Pa!" An extremely loud slap sent Qian Rongzhi flying. He rolled and hit the wall hard before falling to the ground. His cheek was already swollen. Blood oozed from the corner of his lips. He no longer seemed charming at all.
"Why didn't you stop him? Why did you only report it now!?" A grey-haired, middle-aged man in luxurious violet clothes roared out. His true qi surged, pressing down on Qian Rongzhi from afar. She was immobilized like a bug.
The middle-aged man was the vice sect master of the sect, a tenth layer Qi Practitioner, Wei Zhongyuan. He had already reached the highest level of the Secret Art, only a step away from Foundation Establishment. He was someone who stood at the apex of Qi Practitioners.
To the left and right of the hall were four haggard old women. They all wore heavy makeup, and their appearances were strange. The smell of makeup could be smelled from ten steps away.
They focused on drawing their eyebrows and manicuring their nails. None of them even glanced at Qian Rongzhi. A few young male escorts followed behind them, serving her carefully.
One of them was Grandma Ximen. Two handsome young men were massaging her shoulders. She lowered her head and took a sip of tea. She didn't care about the pitiful state of her disciple at all.
Qian Rongzhi's eyes were filled with tears. She said with great grievance, "I really couldn't persuade Young Master Wei. Sect master, this really isn't my fault!"
"You still dare to talk back! Wei Zhongyuan stretched out his hand and grabbed Qian Rongzhi. True qi flew out ten feet and grabbed her in the air. "With my son's temperament, if he wasn't bewitched by you, bitch, why would he take the initiative to look for Li Qingshan? There's still no news of him." If it wasn't for the fact that Qian Rongzhi's strength was too low, he would almost suspect that it was Qian Rongzhi who did it. This was obviously not the wisdom of rational thinking. It was just anger.
With a miserable shriek, Qian Rongzhi's bones creaked, almost about to be crushed. "I … really …"
The door swung open loudly, and a few Black Wolf guards swaggered in. "What are you doing …" When they saw the situation in the room, they all paled in fright. They had received news that a Black Wolf guard had been trapped in the building, so they had rushed over in a hurry. However, they never expected to see such a powerful group of Qi Practitioners. They had almost become speechless.
"W- what are you doing? W- are you killing a member of the Hawkwolf Guard? "
Only then did Wei Zhongyuan remember that Qian Rongzhi had an identity like that. Grandma Ximen coughed gently. "Sect master, forget it. This isn't Rongzhi's fault. Let's hurry up and find little Jie! I've watched that child grow up. I don't want anything to happen to him. "
Wei Zhongyuan snorted coldly and tossed Qian Rongzhi aside viciously. None of the Black Wolf guards dared to help her up. Qian Rongzhi propped herself up and knelt towards Grandma Ximen in gratitude. "Thank you, granny!" Then she bowed towards Wei Zhongyuan. "Thank you, sect master!"
"If we can't find Jie 'er, you'll be in for a treat!" With a wave of his hand, Wei Zhongyuan made his way out of the door. The four grannies followed closely behind him. The young people giggled as they walked past Qian Rongzhi. They glanced at Qian Rongzhi in disheveled disdain and discussed loudly, "Look at her. She's just like a bitch!"
A young man beside Grandma Ximen said, "Isn't that right? She even wants to suck up to granny. How shameless. "
Qian Rongzhi lowered her head. Her disheveled hair covered her face, such that no one could see the light flashing through her eyes.
Fortunately, she had thought of sending people to ask for reinforcements from the Hawkwolf Guard. Otherwise, if she really did end up being killed by this crazy old bastard, it would be a waste. She was a tenth layer Qi Practitioner. If she used the Vitality Devouring technique, would she be able to break through to the sixth layer and condense a sea of qi?
A few Black Wolf guards glanced at Qian Rongzhi. One of them said, "Do you know what the consequences are now for going to the door?"
"When will this building open for business? Seeing as we're all colleagues, we'll definitely go and take care of the business. Once you recover, Rongzhi, you have to serve us well!"
They all smiled obscenely as they brazenly studied Qian Rongzhi's slender figure.
They were originally Black Wolf guards who had been pushed to the sidelines by Zhuo Zhibo. They were filled with jealousy and contempt towards Qian Rongzhi, who had hooked up with Zhuo Zhibo as soon as she joined the Hawkwolf Guard. Now that Zhuo Zhibo had passed away, they all felt like it was time for them to make a comeback. They all felt extremely delighted, becoming arrogant from their success.
Qian Rongzhi stood up. Under the soothing of true qi, her swollen face returned to normal, only leaving behind some bruises. She wiped away the blood from the corner of her lips and smiled. "Rongzhi just happened to want to carry out a mission, but I'm alone, so I'm afraid I won't be able to succeed. Please assist me, big brothers. Rongzhi will definitely repay your kindness properly."
The Black Wolf guards looked at one another. They were all tempted, and they became even more scornful. In their eyes, Qian Rongzhi was just a whore who had sold herself. Now that the person she relied on, Zhuo Zhibo, had passed away, she obviously wanted to find someone else to rely on. One of them was a fourth layer Qi Practitioner, while the other three were third layer Qi Practitioners. They were basically the remaining backbone of the Hawkwolf Guard of Jiaping city. They were very trustworthy.
It was perfect for them to try out this woman. It was not like they were afraid of her playing any tricks with their strength anyway.
When Qian Rongzhi and the four Black Wolf guards went to the Eagle Hunting Tower to receive a mission and were about to set off, they just happened to run into Diao Fei.
Diao Fei glanced at Qian Rongzhi and immediately dodged. He asked politely, "What are you up to?"
The leader of the fourth layer Qi Practitioners said, "A small mission. There's a daemonic beast causing trouble, so we're going to take a look. Do you want to come with us?"
"Hehe, big brother, this is just a small mission. Aren't there a little too many people?" A Black Wolf guard smiled obscenely, which led to another round of laughter.
Together!? Diao Fei was already trying to avoid this woman, so where did you get the courage to go on a mission with her? After the mission in Ancient Wind city, he had become extremely vigilant towards Li Qingshan and Qian Rongzhi. He swore that he would never travel with them again. He kept a low profile and moved around alone, accumulating resources and avoiding many problems. He was just about to break through to the fourth layer.
When he heard that Zhuo Zhibo had led a group of Black Wolf guards to hunt down Li Qingshan, he could not be like the other Black Wolf guards, firmly believing that Li Qingshan was dead for sure. In the end, nine Hawkwolf guards had vanished, including two Hawkwolf commanders. He was not certain that Li Qingshan was behind this, but he felt like Li Qingshan definitely had something to do with it.
As a result, he became even more certain of his belief that he could not travel with a tiger! While it was possible to prevent a tiger from attacking people, it was impossible to prevent a venomous snake from attacking people. His gaze towards the Black Wolf guards was rather strange. There was basically some pity. "I still have matters to attend to!" Afterwards, he left in a hurry.
"That guy sure is unsociable."
"Forget it. Let's go!" The fourth layer Qi Practitioner placed his hand on Qian Rongzhi's waist naturally and slid it down.
Qian Rongzhi smiled. Although it would be slightly troublesome if she was compatible with foreign true qi, how could she turn down a prey that had delivered itself to her?
The next day, Qian Rongzhi returned to Jiaping silently. She returned to the underground palace on the second floor with four round, gunny sacks.
Whether it was geniuses or mortals, they all had to survive, using their own methods. However, when mortals were unwilling to be mediocre and be at the mercy of fate, they wanted to possess everything that a genius possessed. They had to rack their brains and pay a price. This price was not just hard work and hardship. They even had to sacrifice their dignity, endure humiliation, give up their emotions, and throw themselves into the sea of bitterness of hell.
