When you encounter a weasel on the road asking for a title, appoint it as the Jade Emperor.

"very good."

The long-haired, mature woman handed the long knife in her hand to the man in the Tang suit.

"Your achievement is remarkable. This is a gift from the Incense Master. This sword is named Moonflower. With this half-step spiritual weapon, your strength will be enough to sweep across the Innate Realm. Even a Spirit Sea Grandmaster can withstand it. As long as you complete this mission, the Incense Master will reward you handsomely."

The man in the Tang suit heard this.

His face lit up with surprise.

Treasures in the cultivation world are divided into: magic artifacts, spiritual artifacts, precious artifacts, and the legendary immortal artifacts!

It is further divided into four grades: low grade, medium grade, high grade, and top grade.

Even the most basic magical artifact.

They are extremely precious even in the cultivation world!

It can significantly boost combat power!

Once they reach the level of spiritual artifacts, they are enough to become the prized possessions of some small sects!

Possessing magical artifacts allows one to even fight enemies across borders.

In the entire Nanjiang region, only the Mysterious Bureau contains magical artifacts.

It's still a valuable asset, something we won't easily reveal!

As for precious artifacts, don't even think about them.

This alone is enough to show how precious this half-step spiritual artifact is!

With his strength, he is indeed capable of sweeping away all innate masters!

The man in the Tang suit knelt down and took the knife with both hands.

"Thank you so much, sir! Thank you so much, Master!"

......

Nanjiang.

viaduct.

A Maybach was driving on it.

They quickly headed north.

Xu Yun, inside the car, had a graceful figure.

However, her face was red.

"Master, please don't take my father's words to heart. He wasn't like this before. He probably just woke up and the evil spirits on him haven't been completely expelled yet."

You should know that you haven't even known the Celestial Master for more than 24 hours!

What on earth is Dad doing?!

Even the one in front of me... is indeed very handsome, and also mysterious...

You can't just push yourself onto the Taoist priest the moment you meet him...

How is the Celestial Master supposed to view himself now?

You figured it out so soon after meeting me?

That's too casual.

Zhang Chuyu noticed Xu Yun's embarrassment and smiled slightly.

"I know."

Do you think I wouldn't know if it was completely removed or not?

He could guess some of the reasons behind Xu Wenluan's actions.

As for the Xu family as a whole at present.

Xu Yun is the only heir.

Despite her intelligence, Xu Yun remained calm and composed despite the upheaval in her family.

She is definitely one of the best among her peers.

But in the end, she was just a woman.

Xu Wenluan wanted to find a powerful backer for Xu Yun.

Not surprising.

Zhang Chuyu changed the subject.

"How much do you know about the Li family in the north of the city?"

Hearing Zhang Chuyu's question.

Xu Yun straightened her clothes.

"The Li family's history of rising to prominence is among the best in the entire Nanjiang area."

"Most of the well-known companies in Nanjiang had a lot of resources before they were established, which is why they were able to develop. For example, our Xu family has accumulated a lot of wealth since my great-grandfather's generation."

"But the Li family was virtually unknown just over a decade ago."

"Until ten years ago, Li Yuan, the current head of the Li family, returned from his wanderings and took over, and since then, the Li family has experienced rapid growth!"

"Thus, they gradually monopolized almost the entire fresh produce industry in Jiangxi Province."

"The Li family's business has now exceeded several billion yuan, which is considered legendary in Nanjiang."

legend?

Zhang Chuyu fiddled with the Qingyun ring on her finger.

"You mean Li Yuan hadn't been at the Li family's house before?"

"Yes, according to the information my dad and the others investigated, Li Yuan didn't actually have any outstanding qualities when he was a child."

"Moreover, he was brave and violent. When he was a teenager, he committed some crimes that resulted in a death. He also lost an eye and had to leave Nanjiang."

"Until I came back ten years ago, I don't know what methods I used to gain a foothold in the business world of Nanjiang."

"Rumor has it that Li Yuan seems to possess some evil magic, and anyone who opposes him either dies or gets injured; none of them have a good ending."

Speaking of which...

Xu Yun also asked a question.

"Master, what happened to my family... was it all Li Yuan's doing?"

Zhang Chuyu nodded slightly.

"It's almost certainly true."

.....

The car exited the overpass.

They continued heading north.

This is already the outskirts of the city, north of the Nanjiang River.

There were very few vehicles on the road.

There weren't many lights either.

"Accident-prone area ahead, please drive carefully."

A mechanical vehicle warning sound rang out.

After hearing the sound, Xu Yun explained to Zhang Chuyu.

"The road ahead is a notorious dangerous road in Jiangbei. There are several car accidents every year, so all drivers are cautious when they get here."

"The older generation says that there are ghosts who died violently here looking for a replacement."

Upon hearing this...

Zhang Chuyu looked out the car window curiously.

There's a T-junction ahead.

Originally, there was no problem.

But unfortunately, the two sides of this T-junction are planted with poplar trees.

"A crosswind blocks the evil, but a blow through the hall rips open the belly."

"No wonder there are car accidents here."

He saw the trick at a glance.

"To block the wind?"

Xu Yun, who was standing next to her, was taken aback.

"Master, what does this mean?"

"It's a feng shui arrangement, but it's not particularly dangerous. At most, it might cause some injuries, but it won't kill anyone."

"But someone happened to plant a poplar tree in this sheltered spot in the feng shui layout. Poplar wood is yin wood, which adds yin to yin, so the original minor misfortune turned into a major misfortune."

"If nothing unexpected happens, this feng shui arrangement was deliberately created."

"Man-made?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yun's expression changed slightly.

Something came to mind instantly.

"This entire area is under the Li family's jurisdiction... It was the Li family who did this!?"

call--

She had barely finished speaking.

Suddenly a cold wind blew by.

The wind seemed to be able to penetrate the glass.

This startled Xu Yun, who was driving.

"Miss... could you take me with you?"

A plaintive, hoarse voice came from ahead.

With that sound.

In the middle of the road.

I don't know when a woman in red appeared.

crunch--

Xu Yun instinctively slammed on the brakes.

The car tires vibrated violently due to the intense friction between them and the road surface!

Looking at the stopped Maybach.

The woman in red in the middle of the road revealed a strange smile.

Her voice came again.

"Miss... could you give me a ride..."

Xu Yun, who experienced a night of bizarre events.

He could tell at a glance that the woman in red in front of him was suspicious.

What kind of normal person would dress like that and stop cars in the middle of the road at night?!

And even though we were more than ten meters apart, I didn't open the car window!

She could still hear her own voice.

"Heavens... Celestial Master, what should I do..."

Xu Yunxue's pale neck twitched slightly, as if she were at a loss.

"What should we do?" Zhang Chuyu waved her hand.

"Run her over."

"??????"
