Global alert! SSSSS-class overlord released from prison!

"idiot!"

The old man in black robes snorted coldly.

"Do you really think that Yu Linglong is just an ordinary, worldly woman?"

"Although it's just a reclusive branch of the Yu family, those old fogies in the Yu family are incredibly protective of their own!"

"If they knew that Xuan Yin Valley was making a move, they would definitely storm the valley and ruin the young master's plans!"

Chen Mo frowned, his face showing resentment.

"But this will probably take up a lot of time."

"What's the rush?" The old man in black robes raised his eyes, a shadow flashing in them.

"In three days at most, those Soul-Devouring Gu will mature, devour each other, and eventually evolve into Soul-Controlling Gu!"

"Under the Soul-Controlling Gu, they are completely obedient. Wouldn't it be incredibly easy to obtain the Qilin blood from her?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo's doubts vanished instantly, and he quickly bowed respectfully.

"The elder is indeed wise!"

"In this way, not only will the wealth in Yu Linglong's hands be at my disposal."

"If necessary, we can also use Yu Linglong to incite those old fogies of the reclusive Yu family to deal with the enemies of Xuan Yin Valley!"

The old man in black robes nodded slightly, his tone softening.

"It seems you're not entirely stupid; you still have some brains."

"Alright, pay attention to this matter and do your best to handle it."

"Once we obtain the Qilin blood, I will personally recommend you for reward to the young master!"

Upon receiving the promise from the old man in black robes, Chen Mo's face was filled with joy.

"Thank you for your guidance, Elder!"

"I will certainly live up to the elders' expectations and obtain the Qilin blood!"

The old man in black robes said no more. With a flicker, he transformed into a black shadow and disappeared into the depths of the bamboo forest.

Only after the old man's figure had completely disappeared did Chen Mo slowly raise his head.

The respect in his eyes faded, leaving only a hint of ruthlessness.

"Old man, if it weren't for needing the help of Xuan Yin Valley, do you really think I'd be willing to bow down to you?"

Even so, he dared not be negligent in the slightest.

He is not strong enough yet, and he is not ready to turn against Xuan Yin Valley.

We can only lie low for now and wait for the right moment to rise!

Once his grand plan succeeds, all those Xuan Yin Valleys and their young masters will submit to him!

A cold glint flashed in Chen Mo's eyes, and he moved away from the bamboo forest.

A gentle breeze blew by, seemingly carrying away all traces of the two.

However, what Chen Mo didn't know was...

After he left, a figure slowly emerged from the shadows deep within the bamboo forest.

It was Xiang Fan who had come here!

He had heard every word of the conversation between Chen Mo and the old man in black robes.

"Qilin blood?"

Xiang Fan murmured softly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"I never imagined that Linglong would possess such a priceless treasure!"

When his second master taught him medical skills, he mentioned that the Qilin was a divine beast of heaven and earth, but it had already disappeared in ancient times.

Only in a few remote and isolated places in the world might one find relics of the Qilin.

And the blood of the Qilin is the most precious treasure among the relics, with endless wonderful uses!

The most direct method is to use it as the main ingredient and have a master alchemist refine the Qilin Pill!

A single low-grade Qilin Pill can enable an ordinary person to advance to the Grandmaster realm within three years!

Even for grandmaster-level experts, it can significantly increase the chances of breaking through to the next level!

No wonder it attracted the covetous eyes of the Xuan Yin Valley.

It seems I should discuss this with Yu Linglong.

He wants such a treasure too!

Moreover, Yu Linglong is single-mindedly seeking revenge for her deceased husband, and as her strength increases, she can also rely on this item!

Knowing Chen Mo's scheme, Xiang Fan didn't make any move to alert him.

He simply sent a message to Black Rose, instructing her to continue keeping an eye on Chen Mo, before turning back.

When Xiang Fan returned to the VIP room, he found that Luan Xin had already left.

Did that girl leave early?

No news at all?

Just as Xiang Fan was filled with doubt, Chu Zhongtian rushed over, looking anxious.

"Mr. Xiang, you're finally back!"

"Go quickly and check on Miss Luan; something has happened."

"Hmm?" Xiang Fan glanced at it, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"Boss Chu, my friend lives in your manor."

"If something goes wrong, can you take responsibility?"

Upon hearing these words and feeling the oppressive aura emanating from him, Chu Zhongtian was startled.

Having navigated the business world for many years, he had long since developed an imposing presence.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Fan, at such a young age, possessed such an imposing aura!

It could even make him feel a bit of pressure!

He immediately began to explain.

"Mr. Xiang, please calm down. Miss Luan is safe and sound."

"It's just that it involves her family matters, and as an outsider, it's really not appropriate for me to get involved."

"Why don't you go take a look and deal with it?"

Xiang Fan felt a slight sense of relief upon learning that Luan Xin was alright.

However, a hint of coldness still lingered between his brows.

"Boss Chu, please lead the way!"

Chu Zhongtian dared not delay and quickly led the way.

Meanwhile, on an open space in the resort.

In front of Luan Xin and his mother Chen Hong, a middle-aged woman stood with her hands on her hips, pointing at Luan Xin and cursing loudly.

"You, Luan Xin! Your cousin kindly invited you to eat here, and this is how you repay him?"

"He got his leg broken and even lost his job!"

"Let me tell you, if you don't give me an explanation for what happened today, this isn't over!"

"A kind gesture like inviting me to dinner?"

Luan Xin snorted coldly, her eyes filled with disdain.

"He clearly had this planned all along! He was in cahoots with others!"

"If I had known he was this kind of person, I wouldn't have come at all!"

"His leg was broken, he lost his job, he deserved it!"

The middle-aged woman, already burning with anger, became even more furious.

He raised his hand to scratch Luan Xin, cursing under his breath.

"You little brat!"

"How dare you talk about my son like that! I'll tear your mouth apart today!"

Seeing this, Chen Hong quickly stepped forward, barely managing to block the middle-aged woman, her face pleading.

"Big sister, there must be some misunderstanding in this matter."

"I know Luan Xin well; she would never harm Xiao Liang for no reason."

"So you're saying I was lying?" The middle-aged woman's eyes widened, her anger flaring even more.

"Chen Hong, I'm putting this out there!"

"Either you compensate my son for his losses, or I'll report you to the authorities!"

"In that case, not only will you have to pay compensation, but this girl will also end up in jail!"

Upon hearing the words "report to the authorities," Chen Hong immediately panicked.

Luan Xin is currently pursuing a master's degree. If she does end up with a criminal record, she will not only be expelled from school, but she will also have difficulty finding a job in the future!

My life is ruined!

Thinking of this, she quickly put on a fawning smile, her tone becoming even more humble.

"Sister, we're all family. We can talk things over. We can't report this to the authorities."

"So, how much compensation do you want? Name your price."

"As long as my family can afford it, we won't hesitate!"

Seeing that she had given in, the middle-aged woman's expression softened slightly, and she raised her chin, making an outrageous demand.

"Since you're my third sister, I won't ask you for more."

"Pay eight million, and we'll call it even."

"W-what? Eight million?"

Upon hearing this number, Chen Hong's face was filled with shock.

She thought that at most she would have to pay tens of thousands of yuan in compensation, and that her family could manage it if she gritted her teeth.

Unexpectedly, the other party asked for eight million right off the bat!

This is clearly taking advantage of someone's misfortune!

She couldn't help but look troubled.

"Sister, this number is just outrageous."

"Even if I sold my house, I still couldn't raise that much money!"

"Can't come up with the money?" The middle-aged woman sneered and glanced at Luan Xin.

"Didn't your Luan Xin hook up with a rich guy?"

"Let her go ask that rich guy for it. They can't possibly be short of eight million, can they?"

Marrying a rich guy?

Chen Hong looked at Luan Xin with a look of astonishment.

When did her daughter get into this situation?

How come she didn't know anything about it?

Xiang Fan, who had arrived earlier, finally understood what was going on.

It seems that the middle-aged woman was after all that talk; she was after him.

The goal is simple: to get money!

They really have a thick skin!

Before Luan Xin could speak, Xiang Fan had already walked over.

A slightly mocking smirk played on his face.

"Eight million? I have it."
