The Flying Eagle Gang was indeed very tricky. Zou Ming could not bear the responsibility, so he could only leave it to Sacred Ambassador Green Lotus to deal with.
The Green Lotus Saint pondered for a moment and asked, "Su Xin has been away from the Eagle Gang for so long, how many times has he returned? Did you contact the Flying-eagle Gang? "
Zou Ming shook his head and said, "Not even once. If Su Xin could come back, with Su Xin's strength, the leader of the Eagle Gang, Li Qing, wouldn't still be at the Innate Divinity Realm.
However, Su Xin is the Northwest King after all. I don't dare to guess what he's thinking, so I haven't dared to make a move. "
The Green Lotus Saint said, "If that's the case, it proves that Su Xin doesn't care much about the Eagle Gang.
After all, Su Xin was already an Earth Immortal in the Real Martial Arts Realm. Compared to him, the gangs in this small Nanman area were like flying dragons in the Ninth Heaven, while the other was just an ant on the ground. It was normal for Su Xin not to continue to pay attention to this small gang.
However, we still have to be cautious. Go to the Eagle Gang first and see what their attitude is. Be polite to them. After all, they used to be Su Xin's trusted subordinates. The White Lotus Sect doesn't want to fall out with Su Xin yet.
Tell the Eagle Gang that as long as they are willing to listen to the White Lotus Sect, the White Lotus Sect will guarantee their position in Xiangnan Province.
As for Li Qing, tell him that as long as he is willing to listen, the White Lotus Sect can help him to advance to the Soul Formation stage. "
The Green Lotus Saint thought that the conditions she offered were generous enough, at least for Li Qing, a Connate Martial Artist who had stayed in a small place like Xiangnan all his life.
Zou Ming said carefully, "But what if the Eagle Gang doesn't know what's good for them?"
A trace of coldness flashed in the Green Lotus Saint's eyes and she said, "Is there a need to ask? Wipe the Eagle Gang out of Xiangnan Province!
Without Su Xin's protection, the Flying-eagle Gang was just a small gang. Moreover, Su Xin didn't protect them now. Everything was just the Flying-eagle Gang's banner.
Our White Lotus Sect has been planning for several years for this uprising. How can we retreat because of a small gang? "
In fact, there was one more thing that Sacred Envoy Qinglian did not say. She could skip the Eagle Gang this time, but she was now fighting with Bai Ling for the position of the Sacred Maiden. She did not want to lose again, so she had to make a name for herself in Xiangnan Society this time. She had to be stronger than Bai Ling.
Zou Ming nodded. Since Sacred Envoy Qinglian had said so, it would be much easier to negotiate.
Divine Ambassador Green Lotus asked, "Apart from the Flying-eagle Gang, what's the other problem?"
Zou Ming said, "Merchant Mountain City!"
The envoy frowned. "Isn't Merchant Mountain City a trading city in Xiangnan? What does it have to do with the local martial arts forces? "
Sacred Envoy Qinglian had heard of Merchant Mountain City before. However, Merchant Mountain City had always been low-key in Xiangnan Society. They usually did not participate in the Jianghu fights and only developed trade. Sacred Envoy Qinglian rarely paid attention to such forces.
Zou Ming explained, "All these years, Merchant Mountain City has focused on developing trade. However, the hidden strength of Merchant Mountain City is very terrifying.
The previous City Lord of the Merchant Mountain City, Yan Huangjiu, could be considered an ambitious and ruthless person. He alone established the foundation of the Merchant Mountain City in the South of Hunan. While vigorously developing the business, he also attracted many loose cultivators to live in the Merchant Mountain City, increasing the hidden strength of the Merchant Mountain City.
Later, Yan Huangjiu broke off with the local martial arts forces in Xiangnan Society. This also led to Yan Huangjiu's death. His daughter, Yan Qingxue, inherited the position of the City Lord.
Yan Qing Xue's methods weren't as ruthless and calculative as her father's, but she was still decisive. Moreover, she had a kind heart. If some rogue warriors in the Shang Shan City ran into trouble and came to her for help, she would never refuse them. She would always try her best to help them.
Although this had attracted many scoundrels and swindlers, it had also helped countless people who were originally rogue cultivators in the wilderness.
Although most of these rogue cultivators were mediocre in strength, there were still a few among them who were strong and had good temperament. They had made a name for themselves in the outside world and remembered the kindness they had shown to Merchant Mountain City in the past. Although they weren't from Merchant Mountain City, as long as Merchant Mountain City asked them for help, they would absolutely not refuse.
Therefore, in these years, Merchant Mountain City had developed its trade to an extremely large extent. However, the hidden strength was extremely terrifying. Even those so-called big sects of Xiangnan Society had to behave themselves when they came to Merchant Mountain City.
There was also the Merchant Mountain City's Consecrator, the 'God of Wealth' Daoist Qian. This person was originally the person whom the previous City Lord, Emperor Yan, left for Yan Qingxue before his death. He had the strength of the God Integration Realm and was quite famous in the Xiangnan Underworld.
But recently, I heard that he relied on the various treasures of heaven and earth traded in Merchant Mountain City over the years to cultivate. He comprehended something and actually advanced to the Yang God Realm.
A force with a huge network of connections and the secret protection of a Yang God Realm martial artist could even be said to be the strongest force in Xiangnan Society.
Wouldn't it be a pity if our White Lotus Sect didn't take Merchant Mountain City into our hands?
However, if Daoist Qian really advanced to the Yang God Realm, I won't be able to defeat him. Therefore, I need to ask for your help. "
In the past, Su Xin had once used the alias Meng Qingze to help Yan Qingxue. However, his time in Merchant Mountain City was a little too short. Other than those who had once opposed Su Xin, almost all the martial artists in Xiangnan had forgotten the name Meng Qingze. To them, the reason why Merchant Mountain City could reach such a scale was mainly because of the foundation laid by Yan Huangjiu and Yan Qingxue's governance over the years.
Sacred Envoy Qinglian couldn't help but feel happy when she heard this.
In fact, the stronger the strength of Xiangnan Society, the happier she was. Because Xiangnan Society was strong, when the time came, she could drag these forces into the White Lotus Sect. In this way, the power she could create would be much greater than Bai Ling.
In this way, whoever was stronger would be qualified to become the next Our Lady Of The Lotus.
Therefore, Sacred Envoy Qinglian directly ordered, "You've done well in this matter. We can't give up an invisible force like Merchant Mountain City.
How about this, go and contact the female City Lord of Merchant Mountain City first and see what her attitude is. Also, promise them that if Merchant Mountain City is willing to follow our White Lotus Sect, our White Lotus Sect can make Merchant Mountain City the true overlord of Xiangnan! "
Zou Ming's face revealed a trace of gloominess. "If Merchant Mountain City doesn't agree, we'll kill them all like we did with the Eagle Gang?"
Sacred Envoy Qinglian glared at him and said, "Stupid! Merchant Mountain City is different from the Eagle Gang. The Eagle Gang only controls those small gangs in Xiangnan. As long as we get rid of the Eagle Gang, those small gangs will naturally be a group of dragons without a leader and will naturally listen to us.
However, Merchant Mountain City is strong because of their hidden strength and the connections they have built up. If we forcefully make a move, not only will we not be able to get those things, we will also be hated by those who have received favors from Merchant Mountain City.
Of course, if Merchant Mountain City really doesn't know how to appreciate favors, we can't let it go. I'll secretly deal with Daoist Qian, then you send people to incite the major sects of Xiangnan to unite against Merchant Mountain City and force them to submit. After all, these sects have grudges with Merchant Mountain City in the past.
When Merchant Mountain City is forced into a corner, then we'll make a move to mediate. When that time comes, do we have to be afraid that Merchant Mountain City won't join our White Lotus Sect? "
Zou Ming immediately complimented, "Great Sacred Envoy Qinglian. This way, our White Lotus Sect won't be the bad guys, but the benefactor of Merchant Mountain City. No matter what the outcome is, Merchant Mountain City will definitely be in the bag for our White Lotus Sect!"
The White Lotus Sect's plans in Xiangnan were not small, but neither the Eagle Gang nor Merchant Mountain City knew about it.
After all, compared to the White Lotus Sect, these two forces were so small that they couldn't even be compared to ants.
At this time, in the Eagle Gang's main hall in Chang Ning Prefecture, countless gang members came and went. Some were from the Eagle Gang, while others were from other prefectures. It was extremely lively.
The current Eagle Gang was very different from the Eagle Gang when Su Xin left.
The entire Soaring Eagle Gang directly occupied the most central markets of Chang Ning Prefecture. Whether it was the real estate or the various industries, they all belonged to the Soaring Eagle Gang. It could be said that in this Chang Ning Prefecture, the Soaring Eagle Gang was the absolute overlord.
Previously, there was an eagle statue that represented Sha Feiying at the entrance of the Eagle Gang's main hall. Now, it was replaced by a giant blood sword that was tens of feet tall. It stood erect in the middle of the hall like an eye-catching flag.
This was also where Li Qing was smart. Although Su Xin had long lost contact with the Eagle Gang, and although he didn't dare to fabricate Su Xin's orders and fake an imperial edict, he was still very familiar with using the tiger's skin as a flag.
In any case, he only needed to let the small gangs in Xiangnan know the relationship between the Eagle Gang and Lord Su.
At this time, in the main hall of the Eagle Gang, a middle-aged man with an extraordinary aura sat at the head seat. He was in his early forties and wore a brocade robe. Below him, there were gang members reporting something to him. After listening to them, he only snorted softly, looking very imposing.
This person was the current leader of the Eagle Gang, Li Qing. After more than ten years, Su Xin and Li Bo had cultivated to the peak of martial arts. Even Huang Bingcheng had reached the Soul Formation stage due to the medicinal pellets. Hence, their appearances didn't change much. However, Li Qing was only at the innate Divinity Palace level. Hence, his appearance had changed a lot.
Of course, he was only in his forties. To a Xiantian Martial Artist, this age was also the peak of their strength.
Even in Li Qing's wildest dreams, he had never imagined that he, a street thug who did not know any martial arts, would become the underground king who controlled dozens of Xiangnan's state gangs. Even when other gangs wanted to change their Gang Leaders, they would have to ask for his permission in advance. He was incomparably awe-inspiring.
