Chapter Twenty-Four: The Murderous Opportunity Looms
After putting away the spirit stones, the purpose was naturally achieved. There was no need to stay here any longer, Jiang Li said hello to the old man of the "Medicine King Pavilion" and left.
After getting off the stone stairs, I found a mortal hotel at random on Yunan Road in Fengyang City, paid some silver, and lived with peace of mind.
It's getting late, and the night is about to fall, but the pedestrians on the street are still in an endless stream, the lanterns and candles are shining for a long time, and the golden lights illuminate the entire Fengyang City, which is very lively.
Just when Jiang Li sighed at the prosperity and beauty of Fengyang City, he didn't know that a chill and awe-inspiring killing machine was gradually enveloping him.
There is always a place where the lights can't be illuminated, and somewhere in the unknown part of Fengyang City, there is such a conversation happening.
Click, click, click.
The sound of crisp footsteps surrounded the dark, damp passageway, and only the torches separated by ten paces in the deep tunnel barely provided light.
A rugged man in a black robe was dripping with cold sweat and walking briskly in a hurry, with a restless look on his face. He ran all the way, and soon walked out of the secret passage.
As soon as the secret passage came out, what came into view was a huge underground palace, carved from black rock, and on the main pillar of the palace was carved a blood-clawed eagle with a pitch-black body, and its scarlet eyes exuded a shocking bloody light.
The fierce and brutal body shape makes it impossible to look at it at all, and even just standing there makes people feel terrified and uneasy.
In the main hall, there was a seven-foot-sized throne inlaid with blood-ink-colored crystals, and there sat a tall man in bloody clothes, his whole body was covered in darkness, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly under the shadows.
But the chill that emanated from it was a constant reminder to everyone of how powerful he was.
"Old... Boss, it seems... The mission failed..."
The black-robed man who had just run all the way from the secret passage came to the blood-clothed man, knelt down on one knee, and then said with a wincing voice.
The rugged man buried his head, cold sweat kept flowing on his face, and his body trembled slightly. He seemed to be terrified of the blood-clothed man on the throne of the main temple.
Hearing the report of the rugged man, the blood-clothed man's originally closed eyes suddenly opened, and a terrifying light shone from the blood-colored pupils, which were crazy beast-like eyes.
The rugged man didn't dare to look at him, and his body kept trembling, for fear that the adult would anger himself because of the failure of the Blood Eagle's mission, and his life would be in danger.
Even though he has the strength of the tenth layer of quenching his body, for that adult, killing himself is as simple as pinching an ant to death, and one breath is enough.
"Where's the stuff. ”
The blood-clad man stretched out a pale hand to support his head, his words were emotionless, and he didn't ask where the Blood Eagle was, he only cared about "that thing".
The Blood Eagle was abandoned because the mission failed. The rugged man didn't dare to say more, so he buried his head and said.
"Something... Missing. ”
As soon as the words fell, the rugged man only felt that his chest was hit by thunder, and before he could react, he flew out upside down in an instant, smashed against the wall, and kept vomiting blood at the corner of his mouth.
"I ask again, what about the things. ”
It was still as emotionless as a machine, but this time it was as terrible as the call of hell to the ears of the rugged man.
The black-clothed man who fell to the ground hissed as hard as he could, despite the severe pain in his chest.
"There's a young man in Tsing Yi! the one who came out halfway and destroyed the Blood Eagle to complete the mission!"
"Go on. ”
The blood-clothed man was silent for a few breaths before speaking slowly.
"According to our people's tip, Blood Eagle had already successfully obtained 'that thing' from the Zhou family in Qingyun Town, but a young man in Tsing Yi was killed halfway through. ”
"The young man in Tsing Yi killed the blood eagle and caused a fire, and the 'thing' should be in the young man's hands. ”
Afraid of the power of the man in blood, the man in black hurriedly said what he knew.
The blood-clothed man was silent again, the murderous intent in the air gradually condensed into substance, and the rugged man felt as if he had been choked by the neck, and he was almost unable to breathe.
Suddenly, the killing intent subsided, and in an instant, it disappeared without a trace. The rugged man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the feeling of depression in his chest was much less.
"Find him. ”
Quietly, the blood-clad man had disappeared from his throne, leaving only his cold voice echoing through the empty halls.
"Yes, Boss. ”
Time always flies, and in the blink of an eye, the day passes. Early the next morning, Jiang Li neatly packed his luggage and walked out of the hotel.
According to the route on the map, I began to look for the specific location of the Li family where Li Fugui was located.
"Xicheng, Li Mansion. ”
Jiang Li muttered, his face full of excitement. The tea party in front of the palace, he went to decide!
After struggling in the crowd for nearly an hour, Jiang Li finally came to the Xicheng District of Fengyang City. In Xicheng District, there are high-rise buildings everywhere, all kinds of goods are placed in the counter, and there are spiritual weapons, magic talismans, pills, and cheats everywhere, which is dazzling.
Jiang Li couldn't help but sigh at the most prosperous here, and couldn't bear to look at those shining spiritual weapons, and left quickly.
If he was one step late, Jiang Li estimated that he really couldn't control himself, and the eight hundred spirit stones that had just arrived in his hands would definitely be squandered. These spiritual treasures, natural treasures are not as cheap as imagined!
After a few tosses, Jiang Li finally saw where the Li family was.
"I'll go! Fat Li, their family is so fucking rich!"
This is Jiang Li's only feeling after seeing the Li family's mansion, even if it is compared to the palace, it is only slightly inferior!
The Li Mansion in front of me, where you can't see the corner at a glance, is simply boundless. In this Fengyang City, where every inch of land is valuable, being able to buy such a large piece of land as a mansion, the power and wealth of the Li family can be imagined how terrifying it is.
The two seven-foot-high golden-eyed jade lions in front of the door, with their hideous mouths also contain two sparkling white jade from western Sichuan, which are worth a lot of money, but they are inlaid in the statues in front of them at will.
On the eaves, two one-horned dragons offer a purple gold plaque, which is engraved with two big characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing - Li Mansion!
Jiang Li gasped, he still underestimated the power of Li Fugui's family. Although he had been prepared in his heart, the luxurious mansion in front of him still shocked him.
tidied up his clothes, and in the face of such a family, Jiang Li couldn't be rude. He stepped forward and said to the two guards guarding the gate of the Li Mansion.
"Excuse me, is Li Fugui, the eldest young master of the Li family, in the house? I am his friend, if I have something to look for him, please report it. ”
The two guards didn't pretend to be arrogant with a straight face, and said coldly.
"Wait a moment, and we'll send someone to verify. ”
