I, the Holy Son of Yaoguang, am invincible in the world / Even my beautiful master is invincible.

To confirm that Lin Xiao was indeed the real Lin Xiao, they hesitated to act for fear of alerting him.

In addition, all three groups shrouded themselves in black robes, as assassinating Chief Xiao required the greatest possible secrecy.

They also wanted to take advantage of the situation to seize control of the Black Snake Gang.

I can't let my family know the truth.

Lin Xiao, who had arrived at the "vein mineral area" earlier, was already in a relaxed and composed state.

"Boss, we've received word that all three parties have been tricked," Monkey whispered.

"It's good that you're here." Lin Xiao nodded, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Chapter 702 A Defeat for All

The so-called vein minerals are not something that was made up out of thin air.

There really is a vein mine here.

Moreover, few people knew about it before, because after this vein of mine was discovered, Ji Liuming issued a gag order and killed the person who discovered it.

Then Ji Liuming took all the vein mine for himself.

He ordered his trusted men at Luminaire Manor to secretly send people to mine.

The mine has long been exhausted, and most of the money earned has ended up in Ji Liuming's pocket... Oh! Now it's in Lin Xiao's pocket.

Under the cover of night, the first to arrive was the Azure Feather Demon Lord.

Lin Xiao seemed unaware that Qingyu Demon Lord had come with malicious intent, and instead acted as if he were a close and trusting brother, smiling as he said, "Qingyu Demon Lord, thank you for your help."

"I will remember this favor."

Lin Xiao patted his chest, looking very moved.

"Chief Xiao, you're too kind. We're like brothers now," said Qingyu Demon Lord with a smile.

Soon, the second group of "men in black" arrived.

"Brother Qingyu, it's them who wanted to kill me," Lin Xiao transmitted his voice.

"Leave it to me!"

Qingyu Demon Lord readily agreed.

Since he was going to kill Lin Xiao anyway, he couldn't let anyone else know. Everyone present tonight was going to die, so he might as well kill a group of people in the name of helping Lin Xiao.

So Ji Bozhi, who had just arrived, hadn't even had a chance to greet Lin Xiao when he saw a group of men in black rushing towards him.

The knife was almost at my neck, how could I tolerate that?

"Where did this madman come from? Does he want to die?!"

Ji Bozhi shouted loudly and led his men to charge out quickly.

"Boom!"

A great battle broke out instantly.

And this is just the beginning.

Soon after, Lin Xiao spotted Xuan Kui Mingzun and his group. He hurriedly went to greet them, saying, "Xuan Kui Mingzun, the villains are trying to kill me."

"My subordinates are currently dealing with them. I implore Lord Xuan Kui to intervene and help me eliminate these traitors."

Xuan Kui Mingzun's thoughts were exactly the same as Qing Yu Yaozun's.

Since no one can leave alive tonight, it's only natural that we have to take action.

"Don't worry, Chief Xiao, leave it to me."

Xuan Kui, the Underworld Lord, readily agreed and then led a group of powerful figures from the Underworld to quickly join the battle.

This battle was like a giant swamp.

Anyone who comes here will get caught up in it.

And it will be very difficult for them to get out again.

Lin Xiao took advantage of the information gap between the Demon Realm, the Underworld, and the God Realm, as none of them knew who the others were, causing them to be completely fooled.

In the arena, a group of men dressed in black were fighting each other.

Although they didn't know each other's identities, they could still tell which realm each other came from by their respective auras of power.

For example, the Azure Feather Demon Lord shouted, "How dare you, petty villains from the Underworld and the Divine Realm, act so presumptuously before me?"

"Where did this grotesque creature come from? Prepare to die!"

"To slay gods and subdue demons is our duty!"

"..."

Not only were the attacks fierce, but the verbal attacks were equally scathing, employing both physical and magical assaults.

On a small hill in the distance.

The monkey brought over a large chair covered with the finest mink fur, and in front of it was a table laden with all sorts of rare and exotic pastries and fruits.

Then, with a look of eagerness, he invited Lin Xiao to sit down.

So Lin Xiao enjoyed the pastries while watching the battle, looking quite content.

"Boss, how long is this going to take?" Monkey asked.

"Judging from this, it will probably take a while. Don't be fooled by how fiercely they're fighting; they haven't even started fighting with their lives yet."

Lin Xiao said casually.

"Anyway, we've already set up an array around here, so the commotion won't get out. We just need to wait quietly," Monkey said with a smile.

At this moment, Ding Jiaojiao, the former leader of the Black Snake Gang, said with some doubt, "Gang leader, shouldn't we take action ourselves? I feel we can take this opportunity to wipe them all out in one fell swoop!"

"Small."

Lin Xiao glanced at Ding Jiaojiao indifferently and said, "Jiaojiao, your perspective is too narrow."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

Ding Jiaojiao looked puzzled.

Lin Xiao didn't bother to explain and said indifferently, "Monkey, you come and help Jiao Jiao develop her intelligence."

"Good Le!"

Monkey smiled and said to Ding Jiaojiao, "We can't handle this matter. We must stay out of it to facilitate the implementation of the subsequent plan."

"There are follow-up plans?" Ding Jiaojiao was taken aback.

"Of course! Do you think the boss did all this just to deal with those few bastards like Qingyu Demon Lord? The boss's plan is much more far-reaching."

The little monkey started to flatter him professionally.

"Then... how far is the layout approximately?" Ding Jiaojiao asked subconsciously, feeling that his intelligence was not up to par in front of Lin Xiao and Monkey Boy.

Monkey said, "For example, we could use this as an excuse to cause a major conflict between the demon realm, the god realm, and the underworld."

This is indeed a plan that Lin Xiao has recently come up with.

Even if he killed Qingyu Demon Lord, Ji Bozhi and others, he only consolidated his position in the black market, but it did not affect the territory of the Three Realms in the Battle of Myriad Realms.

Ideally, a major conflict should erupt between the demon realm, the underworld, and the divine realm on the battlefield of myriad realms.

That would be in his best interest.

The most important thing is to injure the demon realm, so that Dao Yi can no longer recuperate in peace.

At one point, Lin Xiao slowly stood up.

The fight in the distance was almost over. The three sides had been fighting desperately for half an hour, and now they were all severely injured.

Looking around, the vast battlefield was already a scene of devastation.

Most of the troops from all three sides suffered heavy casualties.

Even Qingyu Demon Lord, Xuankui Netherworld Lord, and Ji Bozhi were all seriously injured.

No one benefited.

This was not unexpected for Lin Xiao. The three were roughly equal in strength, and a three-way struggle is always difficult to determine a winner.

Because there will always be one side that stirs things up.

Lin Xiao didn't bother to greet the other party, but turned and left directly. At this moment, he naturally couldn't show his face, as it would be easy to give himself away.

Not long after he left, Qingyu Demon Lord, Xuan Kui Netherworld Lord, and Ji Bozi also ceased hostilities.

They didn't want to continue fighting either.

But this feud was thus formed.

This is the result Lin Xiao needs. To him, this grudge is like planting a seed; all that's left is to let the seed take root and sprout.

Furthermore, the three members of the Azure Feather Demon Lord's party, who were also seriously injured, were no longer able to stay in the black market.

Speaking of Qingyu Demon Lord alone, his wings were almost chopped off by Ji Bozhi. Now he has to escape back to the demon race's territory and hurry up and heal his wounds.

Xuan Kui Mingzun and Ji Bozhi were also in no better condition.

Both of them looked extremely miserable.

P.S.: Sorry for the slow updates these past couple of days. The temperature has dropped so drastically lately that I caught a bad cold. I'm feeling dizzy and lightheaded all the time, and I'm currently on an IV drip...

Chapter 703 Intelligence Network

The black market offers a wide variety of industries.

In short, this place basically has all sorts of shady businesses.

The gladiatorial arenas in the black market are even more bloody and brutal.

Once you enter the arena, only one pair can survive; defeat means death.

Panlong Arena.

This place was originally owned by the Black Dragon Gate.

Now it naturally belongs to the Black Snake Gang.
