August 19th

At this time, although the city has been in autumn for a long time, it is much hotter than before.

Beimeng Avenue, belongs to the most prosperous commercial street in Lincheng, the core area of the whole city, whether it is shopping, office, or even eating, drinking and playing are very concentrated, the towering office buildings are located in the left and right of the entire Beimeng Avenue, and in recent years, suddenly like the nouveau riche, the rapid rise of the Lizhi Group is located in Beimeng Avenue and Qingzhou Street

Aspire Group, the 46th floor of the entire building, involves industries from real estate, to AI intelligence, entertainment, catering, casinos, from large to small, as long as it is a money-making industry

No one knows the forces behind it, and no one has even seen the media paparazzi have seen the old Dong of the Lizhi Group, and the only outside legend is that there are about twenty-seven or eighteen to this day, or the rising generation of a certain bigwig family, and the surname is unknown to anyone else

At noon, the top floor of the aspiration group, about eight or nine hundred square meters, luxurious decoration, but it seems restrained and unassuming, at this time the whole corridor is full of people, when three or three twos, when four or five head to ear, as if discussing something, as if waiting for something

Inside, there were three men and one woman

"Childe"

Dressed in formal clothes, with a straight body, a middle-aged man in his forty-fifth years old, looking at the man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a face full of vicissitudes, shouted softly

"Hmm" The man standing in front of the window seemed to answer softly, as if he was pondering something, "Lao Mo, you have been with me for four years?"

"Yes, Childe, four years and 86 days"

"Time flies so fast, I was still a hairy boy at that time, and you, Lao Mo was already the leader of one party, but you chose to follow me despite public opinion, do you regret it?"

"Childe, are they?" Lao Mo shouted worriedly, not wanting to immerse himself in memories, even memories are not the current time

"Because of you, five times escaped death, it was you who pulled me back from the brink of death, and your sister Yin, I still remember looking for your help to manage the aspiration group, you disdained and didn't want to help, but made a bet with me, if I can do it, you agree to aspire, in fact, I know that you are letting me retreat, 20 million profits a month, for a newly established company, it is undoubtedly a dream, but I didn't expect that I did it in 25 days, and I also gave you a sky-high price

As he spoke, the man looked at them, and said carefully, as if he could not finish giving three days and three nights,

Listening to the man's story, Lao Mo and Sister Yin fell into deep thought

"Including Brother Kun, the dark world has to be helped and managed, so that I can be relaxed, it can be said that without the three of you, I would not have my current achievements," the man called Gongzi didn't seem to hear Lao Mo call him, immersed in memories,

Brother Kun looked at this man who was seven or eight years younger than himself, no, it should be a big boy, because he had been with him for almost three years, and he had never seen him have a girlfriend, even if it was a girl who was close, if there was one, that was General Manager Yin, and for others, twenty-six or seven was at a rising age, and he had just stepped into the society a few years after coming out of college, and the big boy sitting opposite had struggled to a height that others might not reach in their lifetime, which was not easy

"Childe" Lao Mo didn't say anything else, but still shouted, as if reminding something

Lao Mo didn't know how to say it in his heart, he couldn't speak, looking at the big boy sitting opposite, his thumb was gently rubbing the tattoo on his left wrist, it was a phoenix tattoo, a phoenix tattoo reborn in Nirvana, since he knew Childe, that tattoo has been there, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Lao Mo has asked about the origin of the tattoo, but every time Childe keeps his mouth shut, it seems that Childe hates this tattoo very much, even if he doesn't want to say anything about the tattoo, and even many times I have seen Childe scrape with a dagger, I don't know the pain of scraping, and the blood is heavy every time I scrape, but the next day will be restored as before, and the horror is nothing more than that

But what Lao Mo knows more is that every time the son breaks the kettle and sinks the boat, when he lets go, he will knead the phoenix tattoo, Lao Mo has mixed tastes in his heart, he is the person who has been with the man for the longest time, from nothing, hard work now, how much hardship he has suffered, and how much effort he has paid, does this mean that he can let go if he wants to,

Seven days ago

A sect that claimed to be hidden came to the Lizhi Group and directly approached the person called Gongzi and asked him to hand over something, he didn't know what the hell this so-called sect was, and he didn't know what they were looking for

If you don't pay, die. Delivered, life and death are uncertain

Childe didn't know where this sect came from

But Lao Mo knows

Dressed in black, he couldn't see his face clearly from head to toe, and his whole body exuded a dead aura, the closer he got, the more he could feel the cold, even if it was a scorching summer, people couldn't help but shiver, but it was a soul sect from the depths of the mountains of Western Province

Yes, the Soul Sect, as its name suggests, is erratic, without a trace, its cultivation method is insidious and vicious, with the breath of a dead man, and the body is raised, even with Lao Mo's current realm, it is very difficult to get up to one or two,

Lao Mo didn't say it, not because he didn't want to say it, but because he didn't dare to say it, this is the rule made by the strong

Of course, this rule is only for the weak, as long as you are strong enough, powerful enough, you can also make your rules, including life and death, in front of the rules of the strong, the constraints of the law seem particularly small

But.....

The current childe, the rising childe, is late

Is it too late? Not necessarily, don't bully the poor young man,

Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi are countless examples, and maybe it will happen to him as well

"Let's disperse, Brother Kun and Sister Yin will go first, the strength of the other party is not something I can contend with, so as not to be implicated"

"Lao Mo stays, I have a few questions"

As if deciding something, Childe said lightly,

Brother Kun and Sister Yin wanted to say a few words, but when they saw Lao Mo shaking his head at them, they gave up and walked out

"Hey, Brother Kun, Brother Kun is out, out of"

When everyone in the corridor saw Brother Kun come out, they huddled together and asked nonsense

"Brother Kun, what did the boss say, he really wants to disband"

"Brother Kun"

"Sister Yin"

"Scattered, scattered" Brother Kun shouted angrily, seeing that Brother Kun did not continue to speak, everyone gave way, Brother Kun patted his head, sighed, seemed to say something, and walked out as if he didn't say anything

In the office, Lao Mo, Childe

"Lao Mo and tell me about the Mo Sect, and their affairs."

Hearing Childe's question, Lao Mo looked at Childe in surprise, Lao Mo still underestimated Childe, sects, qi refiners, body refiners, are basically scarce things in the world, even if it is a peripheral sect qi practitioner, they will be regarded as guests in the secular family, and today Gongzi can say the words of Mozong, obviously he knows something, but it is not comprehensive

"I'm just a disciple who was expelled, not a member of the Mo Sect" Lao Mo didn't explain too much, and said slowly,

"Actually, I know very little, I only know that the ones who came before belong to the Soul Sect, in addition to the Mo Sect, there are several sects on it, no matter which sect's inheritance is at least two thousand years, each sect has a few old immortals for as little as one or two hundred years, and as many as hundreds of years and thousands of old monsters exist, or even longer, each sect has its own method of cultivation,,

"The Soul Sect belongs to the list of crooked sects and evil ways, and several other sects disdain to associate with them, I only know that they use the qi of the dead to cultivate their bodies, but they have a drawback, anyone who cultivates with the qi of the dead will not be able to give birth in the end, so the number of soul sects among the major sects is the smallest, they will look for qualified teenagers or younger children all over the world every year, whether it is abduction or snatching, as long as they can get it, they will do everything they can to add fresh blood to their sect,"

"I know you're going to ask, if it's so vicious, why didn't anyone stop it" Lao Mo seemed to see Childe's question, The current cultivation world, like a plate of loose sand, plus the secular people are ants in their eyes, no one cares about the life and death of these ants, a long time ago there was a powerful person, before stepping on the void and leaving, a cultivation rule was formulated, commonly known as the rule of the strong, all the sects in the cultivation world, the same qi and branches, common to resist the enemy, not to participate in secular competition, not to kill innocents, to put it bluntly, the rule of the strong, that is, written for the weak, people who can achieve the power of crushing the void are even rarer, because the aura of the earth's qi refining is very scarce, so the sect will not appear in the world at any other time except for looking for auxiliary materials for cultivation and improvement in the world, experience

"Once something is favored by the Soul Sect, it will either die or be destroyed, without exception."

"But now all the sects have changed their taste, and in the world, it is possible to see the power of the sect everywhere, even if it is as small as the head of the gangsters, as large as the local officials, the children of the family may be the outer disciples of the sect or even the inner door, in their words, it is to join the WTO."

"Ants?" This is the first time I have heard Lao Mo say, and it is also the first time to contact the so-called cultivation level, and I used to just follow Lao Mo to practice some physical fitness movements, and a pair of moves, as for the method of cultivation, thousands of years, stepping on the void to go to other worlds, that is even more nonsense. But..

"Is I, Li Yang, an ant?" It took just a few years to develop the obscure company into the scale of billions now, not relying on anyone, relying on their own efforts and paying

In just a few years, the entire underground gang in Lincheng was all taken into his hands

"Am I, Li Yang, an ant?"

"Is it?"

A series of question marks expressed the unwillingness in his heart, and only then did Li Yang understand that no matter how much wealth he has and is not able to keep it, it will eventually belong to others, and no matter how much wealth he has, in a group of people who think they are full of superiority, they are just ants.
