Chapter 385

As he spoke.

Huo Xiu stood up, walked over to the desk under the pavilion nearby, and wrote a line of text on a small slip of paper.

Then, he walked to the eaves of the house, took down a cage hanging there, and removed a pigeon from it.

He tucked the small slip of paper into the tiny wooden tube on the pigeon's leg.

Immediately, he released the pigeon, and it flapped its wings and took flight.

Soon, it vanished into the firmament.

At this moment.

A streak of golden light descended from the firmament.

In an instant, it streaked across the horizon and arrived before Huo Xiu.

Huo Xiu smiled faintly and took the Heavenly Origin Pill and the *Future No-Life Sutra*—rewards from the Heavenly Dao—into his hands.

"With this *Future No-Life Sutra*, I am confident that I can step into the Land Immortal Realm within thirty years!"

……

Great Ming.

Mount Emei.

In an ordinary small courtyard.

Emei Sect Elder Dugu Yihe was currently looking at the Mysterious Faction Ranking in the firmament.

His eyes were filled with killing intent.

"What a Shangguan Mu!"

"What a Huo Xiu!"

"To think they even wanted to finish me off!"

"Truly, they are utter bastards!"

"Since you are heartless, don't blame me for being unrighteous!"

The next moment.

Dugu Yihe hurriedly grabbed his sword and headed down the mountain.

……

Great Ming.

Jingcheng.

Inside a restaurant.

Lu Xiaofeng stared at the Mysterious Faction Ranking in the firmament in astonishment.

He said with great shock: "Huo Xiu is actually the chief of the Green Clothes Tower?"

"This old fellow, he hid himself far too deeply!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Manlou was also very surprised and said: "What!"

"Huo Xiu is the chief of the Green Clothes Tower?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Huo Tianqing was also killed by this Huo Xiu!"

"This Huo Xiu is indeed calculating and cunning!"

"Ximen, it seems that after your duel, we must go find this Huo Xiu to settle old scores!"

Ximen Chuixue said calmly: "Rest assured, I will definitely go!"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded slightly, stood up, paced back and forth, and said: "Old Hua, this Huo Xiu is very cunning."

"It seems we must make some preparations in advance!"

"If we want to wipe him out, we still need to find some more helpers!"

Hua Manlou smiled and said: "Who do you want to find?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "I suspect Gongsun Daniang is also very interested in Huo Xiu right now!"

"Huo Xiu is a big fat sheep; I imagine many people want to slaughter the sheep for its meat!"

"How about we enter the palace tonight?"

"And have a night meeting with this incredibly powerful Empress Dowager?"

Hua Manlou smiled and said: "The matter of a night meeting with the Empress Dowager is better left to you, Lu Xiaoji!"

"I, Hua Manlou, am absolutely incapable of doing such a thing."

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Ximen Chuixue again and said: "Ximen, how about you come with me?"

Ximen Chuixue looked cold and aloof, saying: "No!"

Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng felt somewhat helpless, shook his head, and said: "Sigh, then I'll just have to risk it myself!"

……

Southern Song Dynasty.

Power Gang Headquarters.

Power Gang Leader Li Chenzhou and his wife Zhao Shirong were looking at the Mysterious Faction Ranking in the firmament.

A strange expression appeared on the faces of the couple.

Li Chenzhou said: "This Huo Xiu is actually the number one tycoon of the Great Ming Dynasty!"

"Managing a killer organization like the Green Clothes Tower, he can be considered to be making a fortune every day."

"His wealth is growing more and more!"

"Wife, we have more and more places where we need money right now!"

"Tell me, should I send Suifeng to take a few people to the Great Ming!"

"And finish off this Huo Xiu!"

"Seize all of Huo Xiu's wealth!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shirong nodded slightly and said: "Husband, I think it is very necessary!"

"Currently, the Emperor is critically ill, and there may be a great change in the imperial court!"

"The more prepared we are, the more smoothly things will go when we start our uprising in the future!"

Li Chenzhou nodded slightly and said: "Very well!"

"I will have Suifeng come over right now!" ===== CHAPTER 386 =====
