Chapter Nine, the Plague God has arrived

Even the instructors in the academy would likely not dare to provoke him

... ...

What is even more important is that they have all acquired a set of skills

It can be said that everyone who is able to enter the White Box Academy is the cream of the crop among people

... ...

With a lazy demeanor, Fangcun opened her mouth, stopping the maid beside her, her voice cold as if she did not recognize this relative at all: "If your family of three wishes to leave through this door, then you must honestly tell me now, who is the one behind you that instructed you to come here?"

... ...

As a wealthy idler in Liu Lake, Master Fang is most afraid of people like Lao Chao, who are known for causing trouble. Especially since he has heard many rumors about this fierce person, it is said that when he becomes enraged, even the noble families in the city do not dare to confront him. There was once a young master from the Qin family who was kidnapped and a ransom of 100,000 taels of silver was demanded. The Qin family paid the silver, but what they received back the next day was only a head.

Whether one truly possesses skill can be determined with just a few slaps

Taking the Great Xia Dynasty as an example, which spans north and south, covers an area of millions, and has countless inhabitants, only a very small fraction of them are capable of cultivation. For instance, in Liuhu City, including the southern, western, and northern parts of the city, along with the residents living outside the city walls, the number of migrants cultivating the wasteland is likely no less than one million. However, the only individuals able to cultivate are the more than three hundred students admitted by the Baixiang Academy every three years

Thus, in the face of his cousin's fierce demeanor, he merely allowed a dozen crossbows to be aimed at his face

Do not ... do not stand so close, in case of a slip of the hand ...

They can summon the wind and call forth the rain, control instruments and command spirits, which is beyond the imagination of ordinary people

The expressions of the various shopkeepers in this hall became increasingly complex, as they exchanged glances, each lost in thought.

Fangcun smiled and said, "With the brains of your family, you won't react so quickly, nor do you have the courage to come here and cause trouble. Who exactly is behind the scenes instructing you to target the Twelve Linked Docks? Speak up honestly..."

Which ... ... who is there to give orders ... ...

The Fang family of the past naturally had no fear of him, and the Tunhai Gang had always avoided them. Who would have thought that now, with the eldest son just recently deceased, the ruthless members of the Tunhai Gang would actually set their sights on the Fang family's Twelve Linked Forts outside the city? How can this situation be resolved?

If these guards were summoned by Master Fang, they might not be afraid, confident that Master Fang would never truly allow anyone to take action. However, now the one saying this is none other than the notorious playboy, Young Master Fang Er. Who knows if this fellow might go mad and actually take action against his relatives? Deep down, there is still fear, and his mind has gone blank. Ultimately, it was the maternal uncle who trembled and finally spoke up

The surrounding fierce slaves stepped forward, their crossbows aimed directly at the head.

For ordinary people, even those from wealthy families, when they encounter a Qi Refinement Master, they instinctively feel fear. They have heard many rumors about Qi Refinement Masters, and thus subconsciously believe that a Qi Refinement Master is a Qi Refinement Master, regardless of their status, and should not be offended.

My child, quickly bring the hot tea, quickly bring the towel

In this world, there are dragon pools for dragons and rat paths for rats; where there is a court, there is a rivers and lakes.

Upon seeing the cousin lying on the ground, the family of my mother’s brother was immediately frightened and began to cry loudly, shouting in despair.

Previously, they were merely filled with concern. However, if even the Tunhai Gang is beginning to prepare to take action against the Fang family, should they not also make some preparations in advance? After all, they all understand that a house can collapse and a mountain can crumble in an instant. With the reputation of the Tunhai Gang at stake, if they truly take action, how could the current Fang family possibly have any strength to resist?

It is a guaranteed profit; it is not surprising that a lucrative business at Liuhu City has attracted attention

Upon hearing this name, Fangcun furrowed his brow

Although he has not yet entered the Immortal Academy or begun his cultivation, he has read a considerable number of classics and has sought to understand this world as deeply as possible. He does not doubt that there may indeed be true alchemists capable of turning the tides and reaching for the stars. However, he firmly believes that such legendary masters, akin to immortals, would never resemble his cousin in this manner

Master Fang does not wish to see Fang Cun's head; it is better to keep his own child's head for the sake of meals

Master Fang suddenly realized, reaching out to grasp Fang Cun's arm, saying: "Listen to your father, since that person has taken a liking to it, we should not compete with him. It's just a few docks; if we give them to him, then so be it. This person is not easy to deal with..."

... ...

Ordinary individuals who do not understand the methods of practitioners find it truly difficult to comprehend the abilities of those who are on the path of cultivation

Fangcun silently nodded, Liu Lake City is situated by the lake and relies on water, with abundant trade flourishing in the waters

Let him lie down; how can he step down if he is awakened at this moment

In fact, practitioners, even if they are merely minor Qi refiners or disciples of an academy, are not individuals that ordinary people can contend with

Your second young master is quite bold, aiming a crossbow at the disciples of the academy, but why not try pointing it at the old court instead

Swallowing Sea Gang

Those who emerge from the Bai Xiang Academy, if not summoned by the Night Watch Palace, would directly leap to become the elite of Liu Hu City. Such elites are fundamentally different from mere verbal claims in a past life; in terms of both law and status, they are regarded with special consideration by the celestial beings who come from the Bai Xiang Academy. They do not bow before the city guards and do not impose the death penalty on mortals, which exemplifies privilege

... ...

So it was him

It is not that others say one cannot cultivate, but rather that even if one does cultivate, without sufficient financial resources, one cannot sustain it

I am telling you that person is the old leader of the Tunhai Gang

For ordinary people or small families, this old dynasty is like a plague god that no one dares to provoke

Is it still necessary to be stubborn at this point

Holding the dock, this silver flows into the cargo like a stream, earning hundreds of thousands of taels in a year without knowing it

However, the dimensions differ

... ...

Child, oh child...

It turns out that there are indeed some greedy individuals who have quickly set their sights on the Fang family's business

Isn't it just a student of the academy

Even the master of the Fang family suddenly had a somewhat pale expression: "It actually... it actually is... that group of vicious people!"

The court of the Great Xia Dynasty is a celestial palace, a divine capital, an academy, a city government, and the rivers and lakes, which is the Sea Swallowing Gang

The group of shopkeepers and young masters in the hall displayed expressions of astonishment

The family of the maternal uncle was instantly frightened, staring at the piercing blue glare, as if their souls were about to fly out.

The group mentioned by this maternal uncle, known as the Swallowing Sea Gang, is actually a notorious band of ruthless individuals in Liuhu City. The old man referred to as Lao Chao is widely recognized as the leader of the Swallowing Sea Gang. It is said that he comes from a background of solitary cultivation and practices dark arts, moving without a trace. He kills indiscriminately and specializes in kidnapping and extortion, dominating the area. In Liuhu City, he has committed countless heinous acts, yet even the city guards are powerless against him
