C516 The calm before the storm
After the lingering fear in their hearts, the few of them slowly calmed down. It was true that they were all demi-humans, but that did not mean that they were like those wild beasts. They were completely irrational and cruel in nature.
They also had the same emotions as humans, and were even purer and more persistent than humans. There were ungrateful people in the human world, but there were very few demons.
For those demon clan members, they followed the rule of 'avenging revenge, repaying grace and kindness', and this rule had been sustained by the demon clan for hundreds of thousands of years. Even if the older generation of demon clan members successively passed away, the new generation of demon clan members would continue to uphold this legacy.
The white moustached old man stopped and looked at his brothers one by one. He said with a serious expression, "This senior clearly has a relationship with the old ancestor, and now that she is cultivating in seclusion, we cannot leave. I have decided that we must protect that senior here."
The white moustached old man's words caused their eyes to light up. They also had the same thoughts. However, since this elder brother did not say anything and was unsure if the senior would accept their good intentions, they all remained silent.
"Big brother, we have no objections. The Monster race did not forget their kindness. Since they let us go, we will not forget this kindness in the slightest!" The simple-minded and big eighth brother patted his chest and answered loudly.
"We have no objections. We will do as our big brother commands!" The sharp-eyed number four also nodded and replied.
"Alright, let's do it! Fourth Bro, you are faster, go back and call for more people. We will surround everything within a hundred miles. Kill anyone who dares to step over us! " The white moustached old man saw that his brothers all agreed with him, so he ordered.
"Yes, Big Brother. I'll be there shortly!" Fourth Bro said with a smile on his face.
Not long after his words left his mouth, a few people suddenly felt a cyclone suddenly appearing in the surroundings. The cyclone brought up a strong wind that made them feel as if it was whistling through the air.
As for Fourth Bro, he had already disappeared without a trace. However, there was an extra giant eagle in the sky. Although it didn't look as imposing as a Kun Peng, its posture was as if it was fully prepared to fly up 90,000 miles.
Ignoring the departing fourth brother, the old man turned to the hunter-like fifth brother and said, "Fifth brother, you are familiar with this place. Take us around first!"
"Alright!" The fifth brother replied straightforwardly and led the way for the others.
Their every move did not escape Leng Nuohan's eyes. Although she did not know what they were talking about, but their actions had already allowed Leng Nuohan to guess some of their plans.
In addition, with them protecting the perimeter, it would save him a bit of mental energy to guard against the surroundings. This way, he would be able to move the energy within the formation even more quickly.
However, after this matter, there would probably be trouble. Leng Nuohan sighed lightly in her heart and muttered to herself: "Looks like I will have to visit the Goblin Tribe again after tens of thousands of years. I wonder how many more of those little fellows still exist in this world."
Leng Nuohan closed her eyes once again. She needed to go all out to absorb and convert this energy, as long as she could successfully activate her innate ability, then even if she had not fully recovered, she would still be able to look down on the world.
It was because the talent she had was one of the three strongest talents in the world, and there was a world of difference whether she opened it or not.
For example, the weapon that Gongsun Ztian forged for her. If she did not have talent, when she used this weapon to attack, she would at most be a level above others in terms of offensive and destructive power.
However, if it was Leng Nuohan who had activated her Inherent Skill, then using this weapon again would be completely different. When using the same attack, a strange energy would be produced at the same time. After all, life and death reincarnation was not something an ordinary person could understand.
Of course, there was another benefit to activating her Inherent Skill, and that was Leng Nuohan's ability could continue to improve without end. As long as she was not killed, she did not have to be forced to reincarnate due to her aging state.
If it was any other time, she would not be so determined to awaken her innate talent, but now it was impossible, because the 'he' that she had been searching for tens of thousands of years for had appeared. Under these circumstances, she could not allow herself to miss this opportunity, and even more so, she could not allow herself to slowly age until she was reincarnated. At that time, she would definitely go crazy, so this time, she had to obtain the talent!

After going through so much chaos, the Fengyang City finally had a period of peace to recover from. In fact, in the hearts of those who knew about the internal affairs, it was more accurate to say that after Gongsun Ze Tian left the Fengyang City, this place slowly recovered its former tranquility and prosperity.
Although this idea vaguely saw Gongsun Zaitian as a calamity, but the truth is probably the same! He does have the potential to be the Bane.
Not long after he entered the Fengyang City, he had caused so much trouble that no one could remain calm. It was easy to see the power of the 'Bane of Calamity', Gongsun Zaitian. Adding on to the chaos in the country, this proved the strength of the Bane Gongsun Zedong.
Of course, Gongsun Zaitian, as the person in question, would not have such a realization. In his mind, people were born to torment others.
However, Gongsun Ztian was clearly the type of person who didn't like to mess with others, but was very willing to see others do the same. This kind of form in the heart of this slut, as well as her unparalleled intellect and scheming, further increased the distance he traveled in the path of tormenting others. Of course, those that were tormented would also feel even more uncomfortable.
And for the Fengyang City that lacked Gongsun Ze Tian, there was also a lack of chaos, battles, and blood. Although all of these were not caused by Gongsun Ze Tian, most of them were related to him.
However, what no one was clear about was that before a storm, it was usually extremely peaceful, and this kind of tranquility also reflected the scale of the storm to a certain extent.
And at this time, in the peaceful Fengyang City, there was a rather big thing brewing, and the mastermind behind this matter was Gongsun Ze Tian, but the person who was in charge and the person who was executing the plan was none other than Qiu Canghai.
"Reporting to the pavilion master, the pavilion master's letter has arrived!"
"Un, show it to me personally!"
After Qiu Canghai read the letter, his face couldn't help but curl into a smile. He had followed Gongsun Zaitian for more than five years, and during this period of time, neither too long nor too short, Qiu Canghai liked to follow this child-like adult more and more.
Following him in doing things, Qiu Canghai always felt at ease, as if there was nothing in the world that he couldn't do or couldn't do.
And what made Qiu Canghai even more loyal was the abilities and methods that Gongsun Zaitian had used. To others, this was just a sentence, but to Gongsun Zaitian, it was not just some empty talk that was used as a decoration.
In terms of manpower, Gongsun Zaitian could exercise maximum authority, while he himself could only exercise some control over the general direction.
This method seemed simple, but it was not that easy to manipulate. This was because the first thing one needed to do to achieve this was to have a grasp on the human heart, the person's position, and the person's power. These were absolute details that needed to be controlled.
If there was no doubt about it, then the man in power's fate could not be described as' miserable '.
"What's the situation with Xiahou Family?"
"Reporting to Hall Master, according to the information, Xiahou Family is doing her best to raise funds! Based on their original speed and efficiency, they could deliver five hundred thousand silver taels to the Fengyang City within ten days! "But ?"
"I know about this. I was the one who ordered everyone to help stop this huge amount of money, trying to delay the arrival of this huge amount of money at Fengyang City."
"Why is that?"
"Because we have to wait for chaos in the north, so that we can divert most of our attention to the north. This way, even if we leave any traces behind, it will be easy to conceal and handle it, and if we cause trouble here, it would be equivalent to shifting everyone's attention to the Fengyang City, which would ruin the Pavilion Master's plans!"
"Do we need to block the huge sum of money now?"
"Mm, it's about time! Once the notice was given, all obstacles would be stopped and the money would enter Fengyang City! Also, tell them not to take back the Demon Claw all of a sudden, just a little, and don't make them suspicious! "
"Yes, this subordinate will do it right away!"
"Wait, the silver taels have been delayed for so long, has Xiahou Family made any unexpected or strange moves yet?"
"As for the Fengyang City, according to the information sent by the scouts, Xiahou Junyu has already repeatedly sent messages to the capital's Xiahou Family, hoping that they would urge for the money to be paid as soon as possible. As for Xiahou Junyu, normally, this ?"
"Are you still playing with women?"
"Yes, I heard that the maids in Xiahou Mansion, as long as they are pretty, have already been played with by him many times. Recently, it seems like under Fourth Uncle's instigation, they have bought into the maids even more brazenly!"
"Such a person really doesn't want to be an opponent of the Pavilion Master! What happened to the Xiahou Family in the imperial city? "
"Yes. According to the information sent by the hall master of the Netherworld Kingdom, someone from Xiahou Clan is attempting to come in contact with the head of the Sword Soul, True Tai Sword. They seem to be preparing for something!" The specific circumstances have yet to be determined! "
"Investigate as soon as possible! Tell Netherworld to send someone to help! We must know their plans! "
"Yes sir!"
Watching his subordinate leave, Qiu Canghai fell into deep thought. He was not worried about the Fengyang City s, but the strange actions of the Xiahou Family over at the capital, made Qiu Canghai feel suspicious.
The three top assassin's guilds from before had actually died five years ago. Although the name of the top three killer organizations still existed in the martial world, enmity and Gui Ying were already part of the Listening Rain Pavilion.
However, due to many considerations, enmity and Gui Ying were still kept in the martial arts world in name, but most of their businesses were no longer involved. Under these circumstances, they were able to vaguely understand that the inner force True Tai Sword had an opportunity.
Of course, he did not know that Qiu Canghai and Huang Quan had already pledged their allegiance to the Listening Rain Pavilion of Gongsun Zaitian. He thought that the assassination attempt that year had caused the talents of the two major killing organizations to wither.
However, the True Tai Sword did not know the true strength of enmity and Spiritshadow. It could even be said that one of the halls under her command was enough to easily destroy the entire Sword Soul.
"What's the killer doing here? Who do you want to kill this time? "
