It was another nightfall, and the night pearls inlaid on the various bronze street lamps emitted a soft white light, illuminating the entire Yunlaifang City as bright as day.

In a restaurant, people in twos and threes are located in it, most of them are dressed in civilian clothes, with bamboo baskets under their feet, and their bodies are filled with the mixed smell of grass and trees and fishy soil, and most of their own realms are innate realms, that is, the previous realm of the qi training period.

They are medicine pickers.

Although the Qingyun Sect occupies an extremely wide area, except for the main peak and the surrounding spiritual vein gathering places, other places are not included in the scope of the Great Array, and they are naturally not within the scope of jurisdiction.

In this area, although it is inaccessible and dangerous, due to the vast land and undiscovered spiritual veins, it also contains many valuable genius treasures.

Thus, the profession of medicine picker came into being. They braved various dangers such as poisonous insects and beasts to pick all kinds of precious spiritual herb medicines, and then took them back to the market and sold them to major shops.

However, even if this is the fruit of their labor at the risk of their lives, they are also jointly lowered by the shops from time to time, and they can't get enough cultivation resources at all, plus they are soft-spoken and their strength is not enough, so they have always been a vulnerable group in the market.

"Hey, have you heard? Some time ago, the old king, who had collected the hundred-year-old elixir, was killed by blood cultivation. ”

On a small table, a young man about fifteen or sixteen years old who was immersed in eating, suddenly heard this sentence, his whole body tensed in vain, and his hand subconsciously touched his waist. I felt that the thing in my waist was still there, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Really? I understand Lao Wang, he has always been a cautious person, how could he ......"

"Alas, if the news leaks, it will naturally be targeted by blood cultivation."

"He has always been a loner, how can he say that the news has leaked? However, I heard in the market that Baibaolou deliberately revealed the news......"

"Shut up! You don't want to die?! The speaker's face changed, and he hurriedly stopped it, and said in a low voice, "There are some things that can be said, and some things that cannot be said." You've lived so long that you don't even understand this point? If you go on like this, don't blame me for alienating you and not missing the old love! ”

"Yes, yes, I know it's wrong." The other smiled wryly, "I shouldn't talk nonsense, after all, the water in here is very deep, and we can't grasp ......."

"Uncle Zhou, take the liberty to disturb, what you just said ......" The sudden voice made the two people who were talking about it suddenly quiet, and they didn't let go until they saw the person who came.

"It turned out to be Xiaoyu...... We just talked about it casually. ”

"The kid hasn't been in the market for long, and he still doesn't understand some things, so I ask the two seniors to give me more advice." Between words, Xiao Yu handed over a few coins.

This is a rune money, made of a low-grade spirit stone, which is used in low-level casual cultivation transactions, and a low-grade spirit stone can make a hundred rune coins.

After receiving the benefits, the two of them turned pale and whispered the news they had heard.

"Reveal the news, let the blood cultivator rob and kill, and then divide it into five...... Don't you really give us a way to cultivate......" Xiao Yu gritted his teeth and touched the wooden box on his body.

This is a hundred-year elixir that he took from the hands of a demon beast at a considerable price, and he originally wanted to sell it for a good price in exchange for resources for his own cultivation, but who knows......

'Is this true for Baibaolou, but is it also true for other shops?' But there is only one market within a radius of thousands of miles, and the hundred-year-old elixir will explode and die if swallowed by itself, how can I ...... it's thought again, Xiao Yu still got up and walked towards another shop.

The same scene also appeared in various parts of Fang City. Some people may speculate that the rest of the shops in the city are the same, but there is only one market nearby, and without the help of Qingyun Xingzhou, they will not be able to cross the vast and dangerous area to trade in other markets.

So they can only hold the lucky idea that only Baibaolou has a problem, and go to other shops to trade.

But no matter what they thought, Lin Chen's purpose had been achieved. The passenger flow of Baibaolou began to decrease invisibly.

And in the market, because of this rumor that I don't know whether it's true or not, there is an undercurrent.

'In the peaceful world of the previous life, a rumor or a collapsed house was enough to affect or even bring down a store, even if you survived, if you want to win back the hearts of the people, you don't know how much you have to pay......

"And if you want to save your reputation in this world of cultivating immortals, it is impossible to kill a few people......

In a guest room, Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes, and a sneer appeared on his face.

He looked to the west, which was the direction of Baibaolou.

'Three people become tigers, and people's words are terrifying. You used the news to let the blood cultivator chase me down, and wanted to make a profit, a profitable deal. Then I will use rumors to ruin the reputation of Baibaolou and force the people on your head to do it......

In the Hundred Treasure Building, in a room.

Fang Mingyuan, who had a busy day, sat on the chair to rest. But his expression was not relaxed, but his brows were furrowed, and his hand joints unconsciously tapped on the table.

"Still no news?"

"Yes." The henchman standing beside him responded.

"That's it......" Fang Mingyuan stood up and walked back and forth in the room with his hands in his hands.

'It shouldn't be...... With Wang Ping's strength, even if the interception fails, he won't even have the ability to escape...... Could it be that Zhang Daoren is really so dangerous? ’

Bang!

Fang Mingyuan paced back and forth, a sense of uneasiness rising in his heart, just as he was about to say something, there was a sudden noise outside, and then, the door of the room was directly knocked open!

"Oh no, Fang is in charge, something happened!"

"What's so much fuss about, what kind of system?!" Fang Mingyuan scolded.

"Yes, yes!" The person who came gasped and hurriedly said, "Steward Fang, something happened!" Now there are rumors everywhere in the city that our shops are killing people and taking treasures! ”

What?! Fang Mingyuan's face changed.

Could it be that the matter is exposed?!

"Tell me the details quickly!" "Here's what happened......" Hearing what happened, Fang Mingyuan's face became very pale.

It is true that Sanxiu sells elixirs in Baibaolou, but being robbed and killed by blood cultivators has nothing to do with him at all! After all, he can't look down on this little benefit!

But the problem is that rumors are now spreading everywhere in the market, and even if he comes forward to prove it, it will not help, it will only deepen the suspicion of the monks.

People are old and refined, Fang Mingyuan naturally knows that he deduced that this news was definitely revealed by that Zhang Daoren.

He expected that the other party would retaliate if he survived, so he was also ready to stay in Fang City and not come out for a long time, but he didn't expect the other party to fight back in this way!

Now Baibaolou's reputation has been damaged because of him, and he is stationed in Fang City, what the head of the shop management under the command of Qingyun Sect will do, he can guess with his ass!

'Damn! …… If the shops in the other party's propaganda square city are all related to blood cultivation, I can also work with other store managers to suppress this matter, but the other party is only targeting Baibaolou, and now the other store managers don't say help, eighty percent will fall into the ground......

Fang Mingyuan's face was full of hideousness. He knew very well that these low-level monks, no matter how widely the rumors spread, would not have much impact on him, at most, they would resign from their stewardship positions on the surface and continue to operate in secret.

What is really dangerous is that his old opponents will take this opportunity to kill him in the name of righteousness!

And in this case, what will others do, Fang Mingyuan will know if he thinks about it!

The more Fang Mingyuan thought about it, the more irritable he became, and his wrinkled face gradually revealed a touch of ruthlessness.

Just push this matter directly to Wang Ping and let him be the scapegoat!" If he dies, it's exactly a hundred! It would have been better if he hadn't died, and he would have solved the matter with his life! ’

Of course, this is not enough, those who have been against me in the past will fall into the ground, and it is not enough to find a scapegoat, but I have to make a big deal and drag the others into the water so that I can have a chance to escape......

Thinking of this, Fang Mingyuan directly called his henchmen: "You go out, find some people, and shake out the news of the collusion between the shops in Fang City and the blood cultivator, remember, at all costs, you must make this matter known to everyone!" ”

"This ......" the henchman's face changed.

He naturally knew that if this incident made a big fuss and caused the scene to get out of control, it would definitely cause a large number of casualties!

"Why, you don't want to?" Fang Mingyuan stared at him and said coldly.

“…… Yes, I'll do it right away! The henchman was a little hesitant, but when he saw the cold light in Fang Mingyuan's eyes, he was full of cleverness.

He had no doubt that if he said a word, he would definitely be killed by Fang Mingyuan on the spot!

After all, he is just a slave, whether he lives or dies, no one cares!

Looking at the departing figure of his henchman, a touch of madness appeared on Fang Mingyuan's hideous face.

He naturally knows what the consequences of doing this will be, but so what, as long as the person who dies is not himself, no matter how big the turmoil is, it is just a trivial matter for him!

"As long as I can live this time, it is nothing to die some people, anyway, these scattered cultivators are just ants, and it is also their honor to make some contributions to me before they die!" ’

In Fang Mingyuan's opinion, those low-level loose cultivators were just leeks used to cut, and they were born to serve them as superior people!

"Not only that, but also that Zhang Daoren......

He had thought that he would be captured alive. If he cooperated, Fang Mingyuan wouldn't mind giving him some resources to cultivate when he was full of money, but who knew that he was so ignorant, then don't blame himself for being ruthless!

After all, there was more than one blood cultivator under Fang Mingyuan's hands, and when he survived this time, he would have to send someone to hunt down Lin Chen and capture him alive, and then use him to death!

Bang!

"What's the matter, it's done......" Fang Mingyuan turned his head, and was about to speak, but his pupils shrank suddenly.

Because it was not his henchmen who opened the door and came in, but the stewards who had always competed with him!

Not only that, but the other party also rushed into the room with a team of monks. Its actions are well-organized, and every move is orderly, obviously, this is the escort of Baibaolou!

"The surname is Wan, what do you mean by that?!" Fang Mingyuan changed color in vain and scolded sharply.

"Take it!" Steward Wan didn't pay attention to Fang Mingyuan's questioning, but waved his hand and ordered.

"I see who dares!" After all, he had been the steward of Baibaolou for many years, Fang Mingyuan drank loudly, and the monk on the side still had some scruples after all and stopped.

"The surname is Wan, what do you mean by this, rebellion?!"

A gloating expression appeared on Steward Wan's face, and he said, "I'm just arresting you, the guy who has scourged this building!." ”

"What a joke!" An uneasy premonition rose in Fang Mingyuan's heart, "The old man has always been loyal to Baibaolou, and he has never thought about it, you don't want to spew blood!" ”

"Loyal? Scold! Wan Guan Shi smiled coldly, "What did you do yourself, don't you know in your heart?" If you don't want to say it, that's okay, naturally someone will say it for you! ”

Then, Wan Guan gave a high-five, and a man walked out from behind him.

"It's you?!" Fang Mingyuan's eyes widened in vain. The person in front of him was Wang Ping, whom he thought was dead!

"Wang Ping, you dare to betray me!"

Wang Ping was expressionless: "Steward Fang laughed, Wang has always been loyal to Baibaolou, not one of them!" ”

After that ambush, Wang Ping, who noticed that Lin Chen was not simple, did not immediately return to Baibaolou, but observed in Fang City for a while, but accidentally discovered the rumors that were spreading more and more.

He immediately sensed that something was wrong, and in the case that he couldn't contain it, he guessed Lin Chen's calculations and Fang Mingyuan's countermeasures, so he decided to strike first without hesitation.

"Hehe, Fang Mingyuan, you better stop struggling, just grab it!" Steward Wan said with a smile.

"Wait, I'm the steward of Baibao Building, you are not qualified to arrest me!" Fang Mingyuan naturally knew the other party's thoughts.

He has been fighting openly and secretly with Wan Guan for many years, and although they don't hate each other, they are not much better! If you are killed this time, the other party will definitely fall into the ground!

"Do it!" Steward Wan obviously didn't want to continue talking nonsense with Fang Mingyuan, so he blatantly ordered.

"I see who dares!" At the critical moment, Fang Mingyuan actually took out a token from the storage bag, and the word 'Li' was written on it, and the most important thing was that it was surrounded by a spiritual pressure that did not belong to the Qi refining period!

"It's!" Steward Wan and Wang Ping's faces changed drastically, "This is Elder Li's token!" ”

Elder Li is the true ruler of Yunlaifang City, not only the boss of many shops in Yunlaifang City, but also a true foundation-building monk!

"How could you possibly have Elder Li's token!" Steward Wan's face turned pale, he never thought that Fang Mingyuan would actually get in touch with Elder Li!

"You don't need to know, you just know that you are not qualified to arrest me, so don't retreat quickly!" Fang Mingyuan held the token in his hand and said strongly.

"This ......" The two turned their heads and glanced at each other, revealing a touch of ruthlessness.

They naturally knew that they had already offended Fang Mingyuan to the end, if they retreated at this time and let the other party recover, it would be themselves who would suffer at that time!

"Kill!" The two of them could see this in the eyes of each other.

People die like lights go out, they really don't believe that the dignified elders of the foundation building period will kill them for the death of an old man who is not related by blood!

"You dare!" Fang Mingyuan was not a fool, seeing this situation, he quickly understood, and immediately took out a defensive spirit weapon to protect himself!

All of a sudden, in the room, the battle was about to break out!

However, at this moment, a voice as beautiful as a wind chime, but full of heroic spirit, came from behind Wang Ping and them.

"Steward Wan is not qualified, so do I have it?" As soon as the words fell, a powerful spiritual pressure surged out, enveloping everyone in an instant!
