"President, let
take responsibility for the matter with the Qifei Group!" a middle-aged man said, standing up to address Mitsuhide Kamishiro.
The man's na was Shengong Jiunan. Although he was not from the Kamishiro family, he had already reached the level of a Tenth Rank Great Grandmaster. He controlled one gate and one family from among the four gates and six families. That one family was the Kong Family.
His plan was to first use this gate and family to deal with the Qifei Group and see how things unfolded. The Heavenly Dog Society could not make a rash move. Otherwise, if sothing went wrong, there would be no room for maneuver.
"Shengong Jiunan? Alright, I'll leave this matter in your hands! First, find out who the boss of the Qifei Group is. He was definitely the one who interfered this ti. He's also the one who killed Cao Shaqing—an important chess piece for our Heavenly Dog Society in Jingnan Prefecture. To think he was destroyed just like that," Mitsuhide Kamishiro said coldly.
"Don't worry, President, I will find out. I suspect that Yang Qi might know the identity of this person. All we need to do is kidnap Yang Qi," Shengong Jiunan stated.
"As you command!"
Shengong Jiunan left and imdiately summoned the people of the Kong Family. Although the Kong Family was not as powerful as the Thunder Sect, they were not far behind.
"Three Swordsn of the Kong Family, it's ti for you to act. Kong Renjian! Kong Dijian! Kong Tianjian! Go to Kang City at once, capture Yang Qi, and investigate the identity of the Qifei Group's boss. There's no need for you to act yourselves. Once you find out, report directly to . The President said he will personally handle it. No matter who that boss is, he will not escape death this ti!" Shengong Jiunan ordered.
The Three Swordsn of the Kong Family were, in fact, the family's greatest trump card. As the three strongest mbers, their very existence ensured the Kong Family's survival. If they were to perish, the Kong Family would essentially fall with them.
"Understood, Councilor Shengong!" The three accepted the order and set off for Kang City.
「Kang City.」
At Kang River Villa, Zhao Yuman was dressed in a white dress, looking like a beautiful little princess.
To be frank, if Yang Qi's heart weren't already set on Lin Qingxuan, Zhao Yuman would be a truly wonderful girl. She was quiet and well-read, not at all like the spoiled, demanding daughters of other wealthy families. She was the type of girl anyone would adore.
"Did you co to see
for sothing?" Yang Qi asked.
"Yes, I have good news for you. But, Big Brother Yang, you have to treat
to a al!" Zhao Yuman said with a smile.
"I don't have a chef here. Shall we eat out?" Yang Qi laughed.
"Of course! As long as it's with you, Big Brother Yang, I'd love to!" Zhao Yuman nodded eagerly.
"Where should we eat?" Yang Qi asked.
"Anywhere is fine! I wouldn't even mind a street stall, as long as you're the one taking !" Zhao Yuman said, a little excited.
"That's not necessary. Let's get hotpot. I suddenly have a craving for it," Yang Qi said after a mont's thought.
"Okay, okay!" Zhao Yuman readily agreed.
The two went to a nearby hotpot restaurant. Though the restaurant was small, its decorations were quite exquisite, and the ambiance was very pleasant. They ordered the broth and ingredients and began to enjoy their al.
"Miss Zhao, sit on the inside," Yang Qi said, frowning as he glanced at a nearby table. A few burly n there kept staring at Zhao Yuman. They were even unabashedly taking photos with their phones. That was why he wanted to switch seats.
They had been sitting face-to-face, but now Yang Qi had Zhao Yuman move to the seat on the inside of the booth. His large fra blocked the n's line of sight.
Zhao Yuman's pretty face turned crimson. Sitting this close to Yang Qi on the sa bench was a rare and treasured mont for her.
"By the way, Miss Zhao, what was it you ca to see
about?" Yang Qi asked curiously.
"Oh, right! Speaking of which, Big Brother Yang, haven't you been looking for the Five Elents Stone? You said you needed to set up so kind of Five Elents Spirit Array. I have news for you," Zhao Yuman said with a proud smile.
"The Five Elents Stone!" Yang Qi's interest was imdiately piqued.
These Spirit Gathering Arrays vary in strength. The Five Elents Gathering Spirit Array is considered the most common type. Its effects are rely adequate, but its key advantage is that it is easy to set up. It could be used right away, and Five Elents Stones could be found. In comparison, the Ancestral Dragon Stone was much harder to find. After all this ti, Yang Qi had only managed to collect two.
Therefore, he planned to first set up a Five Elents Gathering Spirit Array using Kang River Villa as its core to draw in the surrounding Spiritual Energy. This way, not only would he benefit, but so would Iron Heart, Iron Bone, Wolf King, and the others. However, while the Five Elents Stone was relatively easier to find than the Ancestral Dragon Stone, it still wasn't that easy. Zhao Yuman had truly brought him wonderful news.
"Where is it?" Yang Qi asked excitedly.
"Have you heard of a place at the junction of Jingnan Prefecture, Central Plains Prefecture, and Southeast Prefecture? There's a mysterious little town there called 'Three Prefectures Town.' This Three Prefectures Town is very interesting. The entire town is a marketplace. You can find anything there: dicinal herbs, Magic Artifacts, antique calligraphy and paintings, and even Martial Arts secret books. It's the most unique town on the border of the three prefectures. They hold a large auction every so often, and the next one is about to begin. According to my inside sources, there will be Five Elents Stones," Zhao Yuman elaborated.
Yang Qi had never heard of Three Prefectures Town. He rarely went out; it was only after he began his Immortal Cultivation that he started traveling. Before, he had never even left Jingnan Prefecture—in fact, he had rarely even ventured out of Kang City.
"When does the auction start?" Yang Qi asked.
"I knew you'd be interested, Big Brother Yang! The auction is a week from now. From here, it's only a few hours by high-speed train, so you don't need to rush," Zhao Yuman said.
"Thank you, Miss Zhao," Yang Qi said with genuine gratitude.
Three Prefectures Town… It might not just have the Five Elents Stone; there could be other treasures there, too. A place like that is definitely worth a visit.
However, before that, he had to take care of the trouble in Kang City.
"Kid, what do you think you're doing?" Just then, one of the burly n from the other table walked over. "You're like a human shield, blocking the view! Move it! I'm here to look at the beauty, not you!"
"Why don't you go ho and look at your mom?" Yang Qi glanced at the burly man and said coldly. "Scram, if you know what's good for you. Don't make
angry."
"Oh? You dare cuss
out?" the burly man sneered. "Do you have any idea who I am? I've taken a fancy to this little lady. You better get lost. With that scrawny fra of yours, can you even handle her?"
"I'm warning you, don't ss with Big Brother Yang," Zhao Yuman said earnestly. "Just eat your food quietly, or you'll get hurt." She knew how formidable Yang Qi was. Her father often said in private that Yang Qi was the divine son of Kang City.
"Hahaha! Little lady, you have such a soft, sweet voice. It's music to my ears," one of the n cackled. "Listening to you gives
tingles all over. I'm not afraid of getting hurt. I'm just afraid a little twig like him can't satisfy you."
The burly n jeered, only growing more emboldened by the confrontation.
