Xu Liangzhi sat calmly on the second floor of the Rootless Black City's Trade Union. No one knew what he was thinking.
Just a moment ago, he had received the exact news that the matter between Ning Cheng and the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce had a direct relationship with him. Six years ago, he had seen a Crucible Transformation Female Cultivator called Yan Ji at the Receiving Heaven's Stone. That Yan Ji, even if placed in an ordinary continent, would have been a peerless beauty, not to mention in this desolate place like the Void. Naturally, he had taken a fancy to Yan Ji at first glance.
Goukang Yeshan of the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce, in order to help him, had teamed up with the guards of the City Master's Mansion to force Yan Ji out of the Receiving Heaven's Stone. It was at that time that hatred was formed.
Currently, the battle between the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce and Ning Cheng had already dissipated. Even the Association Master Pu Leng and the Chamber of Commerce's other Plundering Life Realm Expert, Si Pingxuan, had both died. The Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce's station building had been razed to the ground by Ning Cheng and hung up a 'For Sale' sign. At the same time, the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce's Merchant House and Rest Stop in the Rootless Black City had all fled. Ning Cheng had also sealed off these sites and hung up the 'For Sale' sign.
During the entire process, no one stopped them. Although the Auspicious Star Chamber of Commerce's Deputy Association Master desperately asked everyone to work together to deal with Ning Cheng, they all responded.
Six years ago, Goukang Yeshan, as an accomplice, was killed. Goukang Yeshan's Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce also ended up dead. However, he, the main culprit, was still safe and sound. Xu Liangzhi was not an idiot. He absolutely did not believe that Ning Cheng did not come looking for him because of fear.
A person who could destroy the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce obviously would not fear him, a Junior City Master. Xu Liangzhi was not an idiot like Pu Leng and directly went to Ning Cheng's Immortal Cave in the North City District. He was not arrogant enough to think that his power was greater than the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce. Once he dared to attack Ning Cheng's Immortal Cave, it would be the same as the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce, giving others an excuse.
The reason why he could sit on equal footing with Pu Leng in the Rootless Black City was not because of his own strength, but because of his father, Xu Kai, and the strength of the City Master's Mansion.
Xu Liangzhi did not know for how long he had been sitting, but he finally stood up and spoke, "For the time being, we will go back to the City Master's Mansion.
… …
Everyone living in the Rootless Black City knew that something big had happened in the city. That is, a newly arrived cultivator by the name of Ning Cheng, who single-handedly destroyed the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, he also took over the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce's territory. This move had not been approved by anyone.
Although the land in the middle of the city was expensive, and was difficult to purchase, but in the territory of Ning City, no one dared to buy it. Similarly, no one went to find trouble with Ning Cheng, nor did they try to snatch away Ning Cheng's territory.
Everyone in the city was talking about it. Everyone in the city knew what was going on.
This matter might have ended with Ning Cheng destroying the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce, or it might have only just begun.
Those who were familiar with the cause of this matter knew very well that this matter was not truly over. With Ning Cheng's vengeful personality, he would definitely not destroy the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce and spare his main enemy, Xu Liangzhi.
As long as one remained within the Rootless Black City, no one would ignore the Rootless Black City's City Master Mansion. Within the Rootless Black City, the most mysterious person, and also the most powerful person, was the City Master of the Rootless Black City, Xu Kai.
Xu Kai had been in seclusion for hundreds of years; however, it was not that he did not appear. Forty years ago, a monk came to the Rootless Black City. This monk, for some unknown reason, unexpectedly killed Xu Liangzhi in the Rootless Black City.
As a result, Xu Kai immediately came out of seclusion. Not only did he manage to save Xu Liangzhi's Life Essence in the shortest possible time, he also chased after the monk from the Rootless Black City and killed him in the Void. After that, Xu Kai helped Xu Liangzhi rebuild his corporeal body before going into seclusion once again.
Although this matter looked trivial, no one dared to ignore it. That monk was a powerhouse in the Plundering Life Realm; otherwise, he would not have been able to kill Xu Liangzhi, who had many guards protecting him. Such a powerhouse in the Plundering Life Realm left the Rootless Black City and entered the Void, yet Xu Kai still managed to catch and kill him.
Therefore, even if Xu Kai never showed his face, as long as he was still in the Rootless Black City, the City Master's Mansion within the Rootless Black City would still be the most powerful place in this place.
Now that Xu Liangzhi of the Rootless Black City had not taken any action, Ning Cheng also did not take the initiative to look for Xu Liangzhi. Everyone was waiting for this matter to come to an end, only then would they dare to buy Ning Cheng's territory.
… …
Within the Rootless Black City's City Master's Mansion, Xu Liangzhi had gathered almost all the powerhouses who could afford to take action.
"Junior City Master, do we still have to go into the Void to look for the Black Essence Stone Mine?" The one who spoke was a Crucible Transformation 7th Level guard beside Xu Liangzhi. He had followed Xu Liangzhi for decades and had always been loyal to him.
"What's your opinion?" Xu Liangzhi faintly glanced at the guard and asked.
The guard hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I think that Ning Cheng is too arrogant. If we go out, we might end up being followed by this person."
"Do you think I'm afraid of that Ning Cheng?" Xu Liangzhi's tone remained flat.
The guard quickly spoke up in fear, "No, how can my City Master's Mansion fear a puny Sea Opening Realm Cultivator? My thinking is that it's better to be safe than sorry. "
"I'm afraid that you want me to leave the Rootless Black City and continue digging for the Black Essence Stone Mine, right?"
"Aah ….."
Xu Liangzhi ignored the guard and tapped his fingers on the tea table in front of him before speaking up in a casual tone, "Forty years ago, a person by the name of Monk Shen destroyed my corporeal body. My father killed that Monk Shen ….. "
The guard remained bowed as he listened to the words of the Junior City Master in front of him.
At this point, Xu Liangzhi suddenly raised his head and looked at the guard before asking, "Shen Zimo, after your master destroyed my corporeal body, I still kept you by my side all these years. Do you know why?"
Hearing Xu Liangzhi's words, the guard's expression changed and subconsciously took a few steps back. However, he did not show any signs of being at a loss. Since the other party had mentioned his name, it meant that his matter had long since been exposed.
"You don't have to do anything. With your cultivation, you don't even have half a chance in this place. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't even need to lift my little finger. "Xu Liangzhi spoke out calmly.
The guard suddenly raised his hand and grabbed a black lamp before speaking up in a cold voice, "Xu Liangzhi, you already knew that I was Monk Shen's disciple."
He did not make a move. He knew that Xu Liangzhi did not lie to him. This place was filled with Xu Liangzhi's guards. With his cultivation at Crucible Transformation 7th Level, he would not be able to stir up any waves.
Xu Liangzhi stood up and unexpectedly turned his back to Shen Zimo, "I have offended a lot of people. Keeping you by my side is to remind me to always be vigilant. Fortunately, I have done a good job over the years. At least those who wanted me dead have already turned into bones. Therefore, I should thank you for your contribution. "
Xu Liangzhi looked back at Shen Zimo and spoke in a serious tone.
Shen Zimo's complexion immediately turned pale. He finally understood that his scheming was not on the same level as this Xu Liangzhi in front of him. For decades, he turned out to be someone else's stepping stone, a whetstone. It was a pity that he had always been looking for opportunities for revenge.
Knowing that he no longer had a chance, Shen Zimo no longer bothered to argue. He raised the black lamp in his hand and shot it towards his glabella.
A red coloured ribbon swept over, directly wrapping around Shen Zimo's wrist, preventing Shen Zimo's black lamp from hitting his glabella.
"Xu Liangzhi, you beast, if you want to kill me, then come at me. Let's see if this grandpa Shen will even frown." Shen Zimo roared in anger.
Xu Liangzhi once again sat down and spoke with a faint smile, "Why would I want to kill you? I've raised you for so many years, why would I suddenly kill you? It's a pity. Not only will I not kill you, but I will also ask you to do me a favour. Go to Ning Cheng and make peace. As long as he is willing to stop, it doesn't matter if I suffer a loss. He likes beautiful women, and I also like beautiful women. I still have a few beautiful female cultivators here that I have yet to touch. If he wants, I can give them to him at any time. "
"You want me to help you make peace?" Shen Zimo looked at Xu Liangzhi in a daze. He felt sure that something was wrong with this matter; however, he could not pinpoint what was wrong.
"That's right, I want you to help me make peace. Ning Cheng can destroy the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce, which means that he possesses formidable strength. I hope that he can replace the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce in establishing a foothold in the Rootless Black City. Also, tell him that the Black Essence Stone Mine that we found contained a total of 10 billion Black Coins. As long as he is willing, half of the Black Essence Stone Mine here will belong to him. "Xu Liangzhi spoke in a genial tone, without even the slightest hint of coercion.
Shen Zimo could not help but shudder. He suddenly felt that it was a tragedy for him to live and fight against such a person.
… …
North City District, Ning Cheng's courtyard. Since the explosion, it had remained quiet. Until now, no one had come to disturb them.
Ning Cheng and Ji Luofei had already made up their minds to leave the Rootless Black City at any time. The only reason why they did not leave was that they did not have a foothold in the Void. Another reason was that Ning Cheng knew that as long as he had enough strength, destroying the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce would not be a big deal.
At this time, Ning Cheng and Ji Luofei were in the middle of a discussion in the courtyard. Ji Luofei had already taken care of the crater created by Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng had also sorted out all the spoils of war. Together with the few Crucible Transformation Cultivators that he had killed, he managed to obtain a total of 13 million Black Coins. Unfortunately, the rings of Pu Leng and several other important cultivators had already collapsed; as such, he could not obtain any of them. As for the rest of the weapons, Ning Cheng did not even look at them.
"Hey, this fellow's courage is not small. He even dared to come to my place." Ning Cheng suddenly spoke with a sneer.
Ji Luofei quickly asked, "Who is it?"
"It's that Crucible Transformation 8th Level Cultivator who escaped from the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce. He came here using a method to conceal himself. However, under the protection of our Immortal Cave's Defensive Array, wanting to conceal himself is just a dream. I believe that since this fellow could escape from eleven people, he should not be so stupid. "Ning Cheng spoke with a smile.
Ji Luofei was just about to ask again when she heard a voice, "Yan Fu has come to see Brother Ning."
