My wife is a reborn big boss

Chapter 156 We Meet Again

"Of course not!" The shopkeeper smiled kindly. "Young master, please don't misunderstand."

Wu Qiong looked puzzled: "We killed that guy from your Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect... Ren Changkong, right? It seems you tried to steal something but failed. Don't you want revenge?"

"He provoked the young master himself. Our Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect's rule has always been to make money through harmony." The shopkeeper's eyes revealed a deeper meaning: "As for that thing... it's not too late now."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Fu Er, who also belonged to the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, made his move!

The target is... the Gongyang Rain!

Gongyang Yu's expression changed drastically, and he retreated abruptly!

But suddenly a murderous aura came from behind her, and she glanced at it out of the corner of her eye.

It's Bolu!

Gongyang Yu turned halfway and struck Bolu back with a palm strike. Just as he was about to make a run for his life, two people suddenly appeared in front of him!

They are the Hu brothers, Hu Renshan and Hu Renhai!

Gongyang Yu stopped, pursing his lips tightly and remaining silent.

Jiese got up to intervene, but Ye Qingxuan stopped him.

Ye Qingxuan shook his head at him, Jie Se glanced at the unmoved Wu Qiong, and sat back down angrily.

The innkeeper spoke up: "You're the one who killed my cook, aren't you, Miss Gongyang... no, it should be Miss Lin."

Gongyang Yu remained silent for a long while before asking, "Where's the evidence?"

"Besides this master and this Taoist priest, all of us have alibis. Who else could the murderer be but you?" the shopkeeper explained with a smile.

"I threw that punch," Gongyang Yu said coldly, "but I didn't poison him."

"I was the one who poisoned him," Mao Alan said in a low voice.

"You really betrayed me." Gongyang Yu lowered his eyes and said calmly.

Mao Alan remained silent.

Wu Qiong asked, "Actually, I don't understand, why did you kill that fake waiter?"

"I thought he was from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect," Gongyang Yu replied. "It was the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect that besieged me outside the city."

"I see." Wu Qiong nodded, then held out his hand: "Hand it over, and I can spare your life."

Gongyang Yu scanned the crowd and asked, "When was I exposed?"

"Lin Changxi," the little white girl said coldly, "from the very beginning, you have exuded the disgusting stench of the Su Nu Dao."

This woman used to pretend to be like this in her past life, following Wu Qiong around every day. How could she not recognize her?

"Give it to me." Wu Qiong still held out his hand, his face sincere. "I can guarantee that as long as you hand it over, you can leave unharmed."

"Can I trust what you say?" Gongyang Yu... no, Lin Changxi after her disguise, frowned.

Wu Qiong smiled warmly: "Do you have a choice?"

Seeing that the other members of the Demonic Sect did not object, Lin Changxi knew that they had reached a deal at some point.

Of the eight sects of the Demonic Path, Senluo Palace was too far away to send anyone. Apart from Blood Fiend Pavilion, only their own sect, Su Nu Dao, did not come.

So, are they going to deal with the Blood Fiend Pavilion or... the Plain Maiden Path?

Lin Changxi dared not think any further.

All she could think about at that moment was how to escape and then go back to report.

"Miss Lin, I advise you to behave yourself," Wu Qiong laughed. "I don't want to kill you and then search you."

Looking at Wu Qiong, who had a gentle smile in front of her, Lin Changxi felt a sense of fear.

After this person appeared, she had a vague feeling that something was about to change.

She glanced around and realized that everyone in the Demonic Sect subtly regarded him as their leader.

Then there are three innate masters here, and even she, a "Harmony of Heaven and Man" realm cultivator, has absolutely no way to escape.

She silently took out a token from her bosom and placed it on the table, quietly awaiting Wu Qiong's judgment.

The feeling of having one's own destiny in the hands of others is truly...despairing, Lin Changxi thought to herself with self-mockery.

The shopkeeper slowly crossed over, picked up the token, looked at it, and handed it to Wu Qiong.

Wu Qiong examined the token, which resembled gold but wasn't, over and over, then tossed it to Su Mubai with a sneer.

"So this is what you're fighting over? What's this thing used for?"

"The Demon Lord's Token," the little white girl replied softly, looking at the token in her hand.

"That's right." The shopkeeper explained, "Young master, you may not know this, but the Demon Lord's Token is the token of our Demon Sect's leader passed down through generations. It disappeared after the death of our sect leader, Li Tianxie. Later, by chance, I learned that the token had fallen into the hands of the Su Nu Dao."

Wu Qiong said helplessly, "You don't actually believe that as long as you get the token, you can command the eight sects of the Demonic Sect and become the master of the Demonic Sect in one fell swoop, do you...? You're all from the Demonic Sect, you're not stupid, do you really believe in such a thing?"

"How could we be so foolish?" the shopkeeper said seriously. "It's just a legend passed down within the sect that this Demon Lord's Token supposedly contains a golden manual!"

'

"...——." Wu Qiong sighed, "But to me, it's just an ordinary token."

The reason he sighed was because he had screwed himself over again.

In his past life, he had planted a hidden Easter egg—an Easter egg related to the games "Overlord," "Kingly Way," and "Heavenly Way." But no one could spot it, which annoyed him, so he added various hints to the game's background.

For example, hints such as that each sect's most prized treasure contains a hidden secret.

Unexpectedly, these members of the Demonic Sect took it seriously.

That's right. Apart from Shaolin's "Golden Light Relic" and Taiqing's "Taiqing Glazed Pendant", the other sect's treasures have no secrets at all.

The Shaolin Taiqing sect has a history of over a thousand years, and its patriarchs have studied this matter, but to no avail.

These look like ordinary relics and ordinary jade pendants, maybe just made of better materials.

Firstly, they had no communication with each other, otherwise they would have known that the "Golden Relic" could fit into the groove in the center of the "Taiqing Glass Pendant".

Secondly, they lack the prerequisite "Overlord". Even if they actually put the "Golden Relic" into the "Taiqing Glazed Pendant", nothing will happen.

Wu Qiong shook his head, no longer thinking about such things, and turned to ask Su Mubai, "Xiaobai, can you tell if this thing is real or fake?"

He recalled the Taoist priest Kapukong who ran a stall in the Taiqing Sect, and the various replicas of the "Taiqing Glazed Pendants" he sold.

"It's true," Su Mubai affirmed.

When she subdued the Su Nu Dao in her previous life, it was Lin Changxi who presented her with the Demon Lord's Token. She could tell at a glance whether it was real or fake.

"Alright, since Master Daoist is here, let's talk about the plans for the future," Wu Qiong said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone put away their casual attitude.

However, it seems there's one more person.

Wu Qiong raised an eyebrow: "Miss Lin, aren't you leaving yet? Are you planning to stay for dinner?"

Lin Changxi pursed her lips and nervously asked, "Are you... going to deal with the Su Nu Dao?"

Only after asking the question did she realize how stupid it was.

Sure enough, Wu Qiong laughed and said, "If we were to deal with the Su Nu Dao, you would already be dead."

He smiled and said, "I didn't realize there was such an innocent girl like you in a place like the Demonic Sect. Hmm... you're quite cute."

"Anyway, let's get going before I change my mind." Wu Qiong raised a finger and lightly placed it on his lips. "Remember not to tell anyone that we're having a meeting here."

Lin Changxi remained silent and slowly backed away until she reached the window.

Then she suddenly turned around, broke through the window, and fled the inn at lightning speed.

The shopkeeper said with heartache, "Why can't we use the door?"

Finally, the man who had been silent spoke up: "Brother Wu, when did you get involved with these people?"

Wu Qiong smiled and said, "It was less than three hours ago."
