At this ti, when the Qin family elder and the Qin family head Qin Taizhi learned of this news, their faces imdiately beca grave.
“Hmph! Just wait until I find out who did this, I’ll make them pay!” Qin Taizhi said angrily.
In a mont of rage, he slamd his palm on a sandalwood table, smashing it to powder.
The Qin family elder tapped the ground with his cane.
Seeing him silent, Qin Taizhi said, “Let
investigate who did this!”
“Don’t be rash.” The Qin family elder glared at him, “Can’t you see clearly what’s happening? This is clearly targeting our family.”
“Who would dare to be so brazen?”
Qin Taizhi said, sowhat flustered.
He paced back and forth, showing signs of impatience.
“Who else could it be? Use your brain. We’re under surveillance by the Alliance now. This stronghold being taken down is them showing us their displeasure,” the Qin family elder said with a serious expression.
He glanced at his eldest son, who seed incompetent.
Sowhat thick-headed. If not for having no other successor, he wouldn’t have passed the family position to such a brute.
However, Qin Taizhi didn’t seem to notice his gaze and continued angrily, “Those people should all die! If we could get help from the organization and produce several platinum-level Card Masters, we’d definitely slaughter the Alliance in Pingcheng!”
“Now is not the ti for angry words.”
The Qin family elder tapped his cane.
Qin Taizhi finally sat down, looking aggrieved, “Then what do we do now? Are we not continuing the transfer?”
“We can only pause for now. Whether or not the Alliance is behind this, everyone will know we’re transferring assets. If we continue, they might make an example of us, so let’s hold off for now.”
“This, sigh…”
Qin Taizhi wanted to say sothing but felt stifled.
The Qin family elder asked, “Have you contacted those people? Do you know when Pingcheng will fall?”
“They estimate in 10 days, chanical City will be completely darkened. By then, Pingcheng will inevitably face the sa fate. They told us to make early preparations,” Qin Taizhi reported in detail.
“What about that girl Jianjia?”
“We sent people to capture her, but she escaped. Her whereabouts are unknown now. How do we explain this to them?”
“Don’t worry about that for now. Let’s focus on moving our family mbers out first. Leave the assets for now; Pingcheng won’t be able to keep people for long… As for that brat Jianjia, as long as we keep an eye on the apartnt or that boy, we’ll catch her eventually… Of course, if there’s a chance, take care of that boy too.”
The Qin family elder set the tone.
Qin Taizhi nodded and left the secret room.
And so, the warehouse fire incident ended perfunctorily.
No one suspected Luo Sheng’s involvent.
……
anwhile.
Luo Sheng returned to the apartnt.
He found the apartnt still dark, Qin Jianjia still hadn’t returned.
He glanced at the scene outside the window. Although the situation in the Ghost Realm and Demon Realm continued to worsen, it had stabilized for now.
Pingcheng gradually adapted to this situation, with more Card Masters patrolling the streets. Moreover, Pingcheng’s Alliance recruited many civilian Card Masters to supplent their strength.
So, Pingcheng welcod a brief period of stability.
“Let’s ditate while we can. I predict Pingcheng will beco more complicated in the future,” Luo Sheng said to Xu Yourong.
“Mm-hmm.”
After taking off her equipnt, Xu Yourong returned to her room in light clothing.
However, looking at the black dress, black stockings, and even black jacket on the floor.
Luo Sheng shook his head helplessly, picked up her clothes from the floor, could sll a faint floral scent, but still rcilessly threw them into the washing machine.
Then he returned to his own room.
He had no news about the academy, and even the previously promised rewards were silent. Probably the City Lord was too busy and forgot about it.
Luo Sheng sat on the soft sofa, looking at the enhancent device and lion vessels quietly lying in the Azure Feather, all spoils of war he had obtained.
“Need to find a place to store these,” Luo Sheng mused.
If he put these things in the apartnt, they would instantly fill up the room.
And it would be easily discovered by others, very unsafe.
“Forget it, let’s not think about this now. Improving my own strength is very important.”
Luo Sheng sat up, placed a stack of cards on the table, then selected a black mask and the sa cards as before.
Finally, he enhanced a silver 8-star 【Stealth Ring】.
It was the sa nature as the 【Turtle Breathing Ring】 in his hand, able to conceal one’s aura, very suitable for assassins to use.
After enhancent, the mysterious energy gained was very low, only pushing the spiritual jade progress by 1%.
Luo Sheng put the card aside.
Then he picked up Bai Moxue.
Naturally, enhancent options for the card appeared in his mind.
This card can be enhanced, choose from the following:
① Bai Moxue is confronting the Golden King of Fengdu Ghost City when suddenly ghost infant appear before them. Where will this great battle go?
② Fuse world fragnts to gain new powers.
③ If you have enough cards, perhaps a miracle will occur.
“It’s ti to help her resolve the crisis.” Luo Sheng carefully examined this card.
He had always promised Bai Moxue to help her deal with the Golden King of Fengdu Ghost City, who was her clan’s nesis, and to find the secret of the card world’s corruption.
Luo Sheng’s thoughts moved.
His entire being turned into a phantom, slowly disappearing from the room, a dazzling light before his eyes.
When he woke up again.
He was already in Shuangyu Town where Bai Moxue was.
At this ti, the small town was tense, all residents hiding in their hos, sealing doors and windows, nailing them up with wooden boards.
Outside the town, the sky was overcast, thunder rumbling, like a pitch-black night, no sunlight visible, one couldn’t see their hand in front of their face, like a scene from the end of the world.
Luo Sheng could sense several massive auras lingering outside the small town.
“Wah wah wah!”
Loud infant cries echoed through the heavens and earth, the sound extrely piercing.
Even Luo Sheng, at silver 10-star, couldn’t help but want to cover his ears. That ghost infant’s strength was probably around gold level.
But it wasn’t undefeatable.
With his current strength, eliminating it wasn’t impossible, just needed so effort.
Luo Sheng followed Bai Moxue’s aura.
Slowly arriving outside the small town.
At this ti, under the crooked neck tree by the well near Shuangyu Town, Bai Moxue and her group stood there.
Their eyes fiercely fixed on the not-so-distant Golden King riding a bone horse burning with blue flas, both sides in a standoff.
“Daddy’s here!”
Xiao Xue saw Luo Sheng’s figure and was overjoyed, excitedly pouncing on him.
Really a leaky little cotton-padded jacket.
This is what Luo Sheng thought, after all, this little one was young but precocious.
Xiao Mo, on the other hand, stood blankly by Bai Moxue’s side, a hint of confusion on his face, but actually very vigilantly watching the Ghost King in front.
Bai Moxue turned her head, with a gentle tone said:
“Darling, you’re finally back, but I’m sorry, there are so things to deal with now, you should quickly hide in the house, it’s dangerous here.”
Apparently, in her eyes.
Luo Sheng’s level was still very low, as if there had been no change.
But she didn’t say these things, just reminded him a little, her heart always alert to the Ghost King’s movents in the distance.
And, even further away, the ghost infant, its greedy face.
Luo Sheng took off the dark ring in his hand, suddenly, a powerful energy burst out from his body.
The massive aura instantly dissipated the faint pressure released from the opposite side.
Putting Shuangyu Town in a relatively calm state.
Bai Moxue finally turned around, looking at Luo Sheng with so surprise, “Darling… you…”
