The mountain villa where Duke Lawrence lived did not occupy a very large area, but the interior decoration was novel and chic, with a simple European style, which was completely different from the decoration style favored by the European aristocracy that Ning Qinghua imagined.

But after thinking about it, for these European aristocrats who have lasted for hundreds of years, they have lived in that kind of European-style palace-style decoration residence since they were children, and the luxurious and noble aristocratic fashion in the eyes of others is probably tired of a new school figure like Lawrence.

Whether it was the newly richest man in the inland last year, or the local gentry in Xiangjiang, in the eyes of the Duke of Lawrence, he was just his own financier, and for him, he was more important than the price that the other party could give for the bronze dragon beast head.

Therefore, after the group followed the duke into the villa, Lawrence immediately led everyone to the study.

Outside the villa, ordinary people look like it is just an ordinary villa, but as soon as they enter the villa, they have seen no less than double-digit black-clothed bodyguards before and after. Although in Ning Qinghua's view, these black-clothed bodyguards are just ordinary masters, in terms of the strength of hand-to-hand combat, I am afraid that none of them can walk on Xiahou Tie in his heyday for a few rounds.

Of course, in addition to these ubiquitous bodyguards, there are many modern security devices throughout the villa.

"Duke Lawrence, the security measures in your place are really tight!"

For a cultivator in the realm of refining qi and transforming gods, these so-called strict security measures were nothing more than decorations. didn't look at it at all, Wang Bingwen just mentioned it in a joking tone.

"Dear King, if it weren't for that beast head, I would have been very casual!"

As the head of a European aristocratic family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, Lawrence naturally has a few security guards around him on weekdays, but he certainly does not have such a big battle as in front of him.

Indeed, to carry such a treasure worth hundreds of millions with him, even Lawrence, the Duke of England. I don't dare to be careless in the slightest.

In the study, a middle-aged European man who looked like a butler followed Duke Lawrence, apparently his real confidant.

"James, go get that thing, these gentlemen want to see it."

Lawrence gave a casual order, and the middle-aged man who had not left the Duke since everyone entered the villa nodded respectfully. Then he went out of the study. After about a quarter of an hour, the man returned to the study with a wooden box of fifty or sixty centimeters in his hands.

After placing the wooden box on the desk in front of Lawrence. He lowered his hand and stood behind the duke. From beginning to end, there was no word.

For Su Tiankun, the James in front of him was just an ordinary butler, but when he saw this person for the first time, Ning Qinghua was very sensitive to feel a trace of blood on this person.

This trace of bloody aura was extremely light, and Ning Qinghua had also secretly observed Wang Bingwen, who was also a cultivator, and found that the other party did not have the slightest change in mood and expression at all. Ning Qinghua can be sure, even if it is this Wang Bingwen. I shouldn't have noticed the specialness of this "butler".

There is no resentment on his body, nor is there the slightest evil spirit. There was only an extremely faint bloody gas. Regarding this situation, Ning Qinghua was really a little puzzled, and he couldn't understand what the reason was.

"Everyone, this is the dragon beast head handed down from our family!"

Lawrence opened the hidden button of the box and lifted the wooden box upwards, leaving only the bottom layer of thick wooden planks on the desk, on which stood a bronze dragon head with a hideous face glowing blue-black.

Compared with the bronze beast head stored in the Baode Group today, the dragon head in front of me has been further improved in terms of complexity and refinement. It is conceivable that when the twelve zodiac animal heads were made, the remaining eleven could be collected from the physical object to the relevant appearance and demeanor, but this dragon head needed to be designed and made by eradicating imagination.

Because it is used in the royal garden, it is also the totem of China, the dragon. Therefore, compared to the other eleven animal heads, the craftsmen of that year obviously spent more energy and time on this.

Su Tiankun had only seen a photo of this dragon head before, and this time it was also the first time he saw the real thing, and he was immediately attracted by it. Ning Qinghua, who was beside him, didn't care too much about this dragon head in the eyes of others, and there was no change in the expression on his face from beginning to end, and even his eyes were just dragon heads for a moment, and then immediately turned away, as if he didn't have any interest at all.

This time, among the three people who followed Duke Lawrence to the villa in person, the most solemn expression was the chairman of the Baode Group, Wang Bingwen.

From the moment the dragon head was displayed in front of him, Wang Bingwen's eyes were fixed on the dragon head, never moving a bit, and his face was full of sluggishness, as if he could reach out from those eyes and snatch the dragon head on the spot.

For the bronze dragon beast head in front of him, Wang Bingwen's possession* can be seen clearly as long as he is not blind.

At the time of introducing Lawrence, Ning Qinghua was just a junior of an inland business friend. In the eyes of this duke, although he was interested in the bronze beast head, he was not very sure of its economic strength, so when he saw Ning Qinghua's expression that he didn't care so much about at the moment, he didn't take it too seriously. However, Wang Bingwen, who Lawrence paid attention to at the beginning, naturally surprised the Duke of England with such a statement.

It seems that it is very promising to sell at a good price here in Wang Bingwen, the richest man in the mainland.

Lawrence was overjoyed in his heart, but Ning Qinghua had already observed it through his divine sense as soon as the dragon head first appeared, and he did not find the slightest peculiarity, and he had doubts in his heart, so he secretly focused all his attention on Wang Bingwen.

Since in the past few years, Wang Bingwen, who is a cultivator, did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money to acquire four bronze beast heads, then he must have understood the secret hidden in these bronze beast heads. Unable to get anything useful from the dragon head in front of him, Ning Qinghua naturally chose the breakthrough point on Wang Bingwen's body.

A trace of undetectable spiritual power fluctuations suddenly appeared, and Ning Qinghua, who looked a little absent-minded on the outside, was actually engrossed, and found the source of this trace of spiritual power fluctuations at the first time, which was a string of wristbands on Wang Bingwen's left wrist hidden under his sleeve.

As a middle-aged man who looks like he is 50 years old, if he wears a famous watch on his wrist, it is quite in line with his identity and social status. You can wear a string of weird wrist ornaments, which will inevitably make people feel nondescript. Perhaps because of this, this wrist ornament was hidden in the sleeve of Wang Bingwen, and it was difficult for ordinary people to see its appearance at all, and only Ning Qinghua used his divine sense to detect it after sensing that trace of spiritual power fluctuations.

After observing for a moment, Ning Qinghua couldn't help but secretly feel happy in his heart, Wang Bingwen's wrist ornament was similar to the dust spell jade talisman he had carried on the disciples of the Danding Sect before. It's just that compared with the latter, this string is made of several red ropes, and there are seven pieces of jade talismans in between, and its function is obviously much stronger.

At this moment, one of the seven jade talismans on this wrist was emitting an extremely faint fluctuation of spiritual power, and a thin line of spiritual power that was difficult for ordinary people to see with the naked eye shot straight out from the top of its jade talisman and landed on the bronze beast head on the duke's desk.

Just as Ning Qinghua's divine consciousness was fully analyzing what kind of charm the function of this jade talisman was, an inexplicable demonic aura rose to the sky, filling the entire study in an instant, and in just a moment, it escaped more than ten miles away.

This is just an unconscious demon cultivation momentum, only as a cultivator, can you perceive one or two, if it is an ordinary person, it will only feel a little uncomfortable, but how it is, it is absolutely impossible to say.

As soon as this momentum rose, Su Tiankun and Duke Lawrence in the study did not react, but Ning Qinghua's spiritual eyes were extremely clear to see that the so-called demonic qi of these mortals was lingering around the two of them, and some of them entered their bodies with their breathing.

The reason why Su Tiankun came this trip was entirely because of Ning Qinghua, and Ning Qinghua naturally didn't want to let him suffer from the pond fish. Although this demonic qi spread for more than ten miles, its concentration was centered on the study of this villa, and gradually thinned from the inside out. Ordinary people absorb a part of the unconscious demonic qi into the body, as long as the amount is not too much, the essence and spirit in the body will dissolve it independently, and it will not affect a person's health. Of course, if it is such a concentration of demonic qi as in the study now, and Su Tiankun is already an old man in the age of the sixtieth year after all, the spirit and spirit are much lower than those in the prime of life. If Ning Qinghua allowed this demonic qi to invade and left it alone, although he would not have to worry about his life, he would inevitably have a serious illness.

Of course, Ning Qinghua naturally wouldn't let Su Tiankun suffer this unwarranted disaster, but it was not good to take action to dissolve his demonic qi right now. After all, there is another monastic in the field right now. Moreover, through Guò Ling's eyes, Ning Qinghua also found that although James, who had been standing behind Duke Lawrence, did not notice the appearance of demonic qi, once those demonic qi approached his body, it slowly transformed into an alternative aura, and then was absorbed by it. This aura was extremely similar to the trace of bloody aura that Ning Qinghua was aware of now, and it could be said to be almost identical.

Although I don't understand the origin of this Westerner, like Wang Bingwen, who is a big businessman, this person may not be an ordinary person. (To be continued)
