Chapter 39: Persecution
Seeing Tang Mei's charming figure disappear from sight, Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Sitting on the rattan chair behind him, his chest was constantly rising and falling, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
Immediately, a trace of bitterness appeared on his face, and he drank all the tea in the cup, only to feel that the bitter taste in his mouth had slowed down a little.
"Boy, this woman is smart. However, the strength is quite low, and the mysterious powerhouse you made up may also have a lot of deterrent power on her, and what she promised you, I guess I won't say it......"
A faint voice came from Xiao Yu's body. In the next moment, the sword spirit floated out of Xiao Yu's body, and looked at Xiao Yu with some concern: "In this upper capital, there are probably not a few people who are as smart as this woman." You can also see that your father, like you, was suspicious of you......"
Xiao Yu's face was quite ugly, and the sword spirit laughed twice, and then said: "So, such a thing of pulling the tiger skin to make a big banner, it is better to do less in the future, there are many strong people in the capital, just the two of us, if it really causes the strong to snoop, the end will definitely be very miserable." ”
Glaring at the sword spirit, Xiao Yu snorted coldly: "Old guy, you tell me the truth, what level can you reach with your current strength?"
The sword spirit looked at Xiao Yu, laughed twice, and then said with some embarrassment: "Hehe, I am a soul body, although after getting the tip of the sword, my strength has recovered." However, in this upper capital, there are many strong people, and I am afraid it will not be of much use......"
Xiao Yu glanced at the sword spirit, and said helplessly: "I just want to know your strength, you don't need to hit me like this." ”
The sword spirit's tone was quite embarrassed, and he glanced at Xiao Yu before he said: "It should be around the level of martial spirits, but because it is a soul body, fighting with ordinary martial spirits should still be at a disadvantage......"
"The martial spirit level should be regarded as a strong party in the Shangjing City, after all, those old guys at the level of martial arts and martial kings will not appear on ordinary days. Whispering a few words, Xiao Yu's body moved, and he walked in the direction of Fang City.
In the early morning, there were not too many people gathered in the city of Thunder Square. Before the ordinary store, there were also many doors, obviously, at this time, there were not many people as leisurely as Xiao Yu.
However, when he walked to the Xiao Family Medicine Workshop, the look on Xiao Yu's face instantly became extremely weird. He now finally knew why there were so many shops before.
Before the Xiao Family Pharmacy, a long queue of people had already gathered, and a few words of scolding erupted from time to time. Many bloody mercenaries have already crowded here. The Xiao Family Pharmacy opened for business, and his face showed ecstasy, and the original shouting voice stopped abruptly in the next moment.
As soon as his mind moved, Xiao Yu understood the reason.
After the pills they refined were put on the market, the Xiao family covered more than 90% of the pill market in Shangjing, and the price of pills was not too high, so the number of audiences grew rapidly at a snowballing rate.
With a light laugh, Xiao Yu's gaze immediately turned to the other side of the market, and then at the corner of his mouth, a cold glow suddenly rose.
Compared with the prosperity of the Xiao family, the Wu family's market has been compressed to an extremely narrow point. Therefore, the Wu family is also gloomy. However, because of the huge profits that raised the price of medicine a few days ago, he was disgusted by too many mercenaries. Therefore, even if the Xiao family's healing pill is in limited supply, the Wu family's pill market has been quite sluggish......
In front of the door of the Wu Family Pharmacy, there were a few people lined up, and after the goodbye Wu Family Pharmacy was closed for a long time, several people glanced at each other, and then smiled bitterly, and walked towards the Xiao Family Pharmacy.
At the place of the Wu family's medicine shop, Wu Changen's face was gloomy, staring at the door of the Xiao family in front of him, and the hideous meaning in his eyes flashed.
Although the pill market has shrunk a lot, the profits in it have been huge. If it is used well, it can indeed bring a lot of benefits to the Wu family.
However. What gave Wu Changen a headache was not these, and now there are not many medicinal materials in the Wu family's inventory. If it continues like this, in the market competition with the Xiao family, the Wu family will be suppressed and will not be able to raise their heads and be defeated!
Thinking of the suppression of the Thunder Auction House, Wu Changen's face was filled with a hideous color, and Wu Changen gritted his teeth with hatred for the Thunder Auction House. However, this kind of thing is also in his heart. A family in a low-level dynasty to compete with the kind of behemoth behind the Thunder Auction House, he doesn't have that kind of courage yet.
The path of the Thunder Auction House has been blocked by the Xiao family and died, so Wu Changen can only set his sights on those small shops. However, the gambling incident in the underground arena also made many merchants feel less trusting of the Wu family to the freezing point, and there were very few who could provide medicinal materials to the Wu family.
Moreover, these merchants have already seen the anger and murderous intent between the Wu family and the Xiao family. These merchants are not fools, helping the Wu family at this moment is undoubtedly declaring that they are enemies of the Xiao family. For the sake of a family that is doomed to decline, offending the Xiao family, they obviously won't do it......
Moreover, the dispute between the two races has become more and more intense. The day before yesterday, the Zhang family and the Jun family had already announced that they would start supporting the Xiao family. Although the Gao family did not express their position, the relationship between the Gao family and the Zhang family was extraordinary. The Zhang family's decision can basically be equated with the Gao family's posture.
The hatred between the Xiao family and the Wu family is already so strong that it can't be dissolved. Therefore, whether it is in the court or in the competition for the market, it is already life and death. The other three clans, although they did not make any public big moves, but the secret methods also gave the Wu family a headache.
Thinking of this, a hideous look suddenly appeared on Wu Changen's face, and he looked back at Xue Fengnian, who also had a gloomy face, and slowly spoke: "Elder Xue, if this continues, the Wu family will become a second-rate family in the capital sooner or later. When the time comes, the help that the Wu family has given to the Yan Hell Ghost Hall will probably shrink a lot!"
The gloomy color in Xue Fengnian's eyes flashed, and in the eyes that looked at Wu Changen, a trace of killing intent swept by, and it was immediately well hidden. After taking a deep look at Wu Changen, Xue Fengnian said in a deep voice: "Wu Changen, the decline of the Wu family is a foregone conclusion, is there any way you can reverse it?"
With a sneer, Wu Changen slowly looked at the scene in front of the Xiao family's pharmacy, and then said slowly: "The Wu family has fallen to this point because of the mysterious person behind the Xiao family. According to the information from the inside line we installed in the Thunder Auction House, that person is probably an alchemist of no lower rank......"
Looking at the gloomy look on Xue Fengnian's face, Wu Changen's face was even more hideous: "As long as Xiao Yu is captured, don't worry that the mysterious person will not show up." When the time comes, gather the strength of you and me to kill that mysterious person, and the Xiao family, who has no healing pills, why should they compete with our Wu family?"
"Oh?"
Xue Fengnian raised his eyebrows, and then asked, "So, how to capture that Xiao Yu?"
Wu Changen's face was flat, the ** killing intent flashed in his eyes, and his tone became cold and calm in an instant: "Xiao Yu has been able to kill the eight-star martial arts, and his strength is probably not to be underestimated, let Wu Soul and Wu Lu go, the two elders of the dark hall, it should be a very easy thing to capture a little mongrel." ”
"As for us...... These days, I have purchased five million gold coins of medicinal materials from Lin Haicheng, and I believe that they will be transported to the capital in a few days. Although the Xiao family has already encroached on most of the pill market, relying on the income of healing medicine, the battle with the Xiao family should continue for a while......"
Wu Changen's eyes flashed with fierceness, and he sighed slowly: "The Wu family survives, in this move, if I can kill that mysterious person, I want to see how the Xiao family, without an alchemist, can compete with my Wu family!"
