Chapter 180: Flowers Blooming on a Single Line

Unlike Ning Zhuo asked, "What are the names of the three of you?"

The Monkey Head Gang Leader was about to answer, but saw Unlike Ning Zhuo wave his hand. The latter said, "Forget it, there's no need for such trouble."

"I will give each of you a code name; if you die, your successors will still be addressed by the code name."

"You, you will be called 'Monkey Head'." Unlike Ning Zhuo pointed his finger at the Monkey Head Gang Leader, his gaze giving people a heavy sense of looking down from above.

The Monkey Head Gang Leader gritted his teeth, but smiled on his face, expressing his joy, "Yes! Thank you, Lord, for bestowing the code name."

Unlike Ning Zhuo pointed at the Crane Beak Gang Leader, "From now on, you will be called 'Crane Head'."

The Crane Beak Gang Leader opened his mouth, wanting to say, "I came here to negotiate with you; our Crane Beak Gang hasn't surrendered yet."

"Only when the conditions are suitable will we surrender!"

But under such circumstances, he could only shout in his heart and couldn't say it out loud.

After a few breaths of silence, the Crane Beak Gang Leader lowered his head and bowed in response, "Yes."

Unlike Ning Zhuo looked at the Turtle Breath Gang Leader, "As for you, you will be called 'Turtle..."

The Turtle Breath Gang Leader's face changed!

"Turtle Shell." He didn't wait for Unlike Ning Zhuo to finish, answering quickly, "Lord, my childhood name was Turtle Shell; when you call me that, I feel like I've found my home and seen an elder."

"You are fully qualified to call me that!"

"Hmm..." Unlike Ning Zhuo pondered silently.

The Turtle Breath Gang Leader's heartbeat accelerated slightly, and he said busily, "Lord Unlike Ning Zhuo, that Feng Heizi has a lot of evidence of smuggling and selling prohibited prisoners, all in my gang's hands."

"Turtle Shell requests to go! Please let me go personally; Feng Heizi will definitely submit."

"Since that's the case." Unlike Ning Zhuo waved his hand, "You go then; if you cannot recruit Feng Heizi, I will hold you responsible."

"Yes, Lord." The Turtle Breath Gang Leader turned and left, his pace fast, without the composure he had before, giving people a sense of urgency.

Unlike Ning Zhuo looked at the Crane Beak Gang Leader, "The medicinal herbs of 'Neither Clean Nor Dirty' are almost all ordered from your gang."

"You go and invite him; relying on this layer of relationship, can you do it?"

The Crane Beak Gang Leader's heart was shocked; how did Unlike Ning Zhuo know about this secret business dealing?

He nodded hurriedly, "This subordinate will do his best."

Unlike Ning Zhuo looked at the Monkey Head Gang Leader.

The latter said busily, "Monkey Head is here, please assign the task, Lord!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo, "You go find the One-Armed Craftsman; this person has a fiery temperament and loves to refine magic treasures that can self-destruct. His arm was blown off by himself."

"You talk to him properly, don't use force."

"This person is most immune to threats; remember to use gentle words!"

"No matter what method you use, let this person acknowledge my control over the black market and return to the market. Without his self-destructing magic treasures, the black market loses a major attraction."

The Monkey Head Gang Leader cupped his hands, "This subordinate understands!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo issued three orders in a row, then once again summoned floating clouds to wrap around himself, silently beginning his cultivation.

"He really doesn't waste a single moment!"

The Ning family Foundation Establishment cultivators secretly transmitted their voices, feeling a lot of emotion.

From the beginning of the action, Unlike Ning Zhuo had repeatedly refreshed their cognition.

Especially his performance tonight made the Ning family members feel that Unlike Ning Zhuo was well-prepared, commanded with certainty, possessed strategy, and could control the overall situation.

Time passed gradually.

The three Gang Leaders successively sent good news.

The Crane Beak Gang Leader was the first to succeed; 'Neither Clean Nor Dirty' was an alchemist, born with a lazy temperament and not liking to toss about.

The black market controller changed, and for him, it didn't matter; he still sold his pills.

The Turtle Breath Gang Leader was the second to succeed.

His results were much greater than the Crane Beak Gang Leader's—under his coercion and inducement, Feng Heizi had to sign a contract and join in completely.

The last one was the Monkey Head Gang Leader.

He returned with a gray face and was injured.

Persuading the One-Armed Craftsman took a lot of effort.

The One-Armed Craftsman felt that the chaos in Fire Persimmon Xiancheng had already appeared and had plans to migrate to another city; his luggage was almost packed.

The Monkey Head Gang Leader tried to persuade him in every way, even taking out his private property to subsidize him, but it didn't work.

Finally, he took a risk and provoked him, fighting a battle with the One-Armed Craftsman.

The One-Armed Craftsman won, but he loved the Mechanical Fire-Exploding Apes used by the Monkey Head Gang Leader very much.

This kind of mechanical ape could self-destruct and had considerable power; the One-Armed Craftsman had long known about it.

What he didn't know was that the person who created the Mechanical Fire-Exploding Apes was Unlike Ning Zhuo. Learning that Unlike Ning Zhuo controlled the black market, the One-Armed Craftsman's favor increased greatly, and he changed his mind, deciding to stay.

When the morning light shone on the city, the black market ushered in a brand new day.

The annihilation of the Poison Snake Gang.

The joint announcement of the Monkey Head Gang, Crane Beak Gang, and Turtle Breath Gang.

And the simultaneous announcement of opening the market by Feng Heizi, the One-Armed Craftsman, and 'Neither Clean Nor Dirty'.

All made people's hearts shake, and they were filled with suspicion, "How did the black market turn upside down overnight?"

"What exactly happened last night?!"

"It is said that a noble young master of the Ning family came down; he was originally trying to avenge his friend Yuan Er, forced the Monkey Head Gang to submit, and then took over the black market by the way."

For a time, the city residents discussed endlessly, and rumors arose.

City Lord's mansion.

Seeing Fei Si began to handle government affairs.

Ever since the Recruitment Order was issued, foreign cultivators had been pouring into Fire Persimmon Xiancheng.

The top of Fire Persimmon Mountain was no longer set as a forbidden area; under Seeing Fei Si's arrangement, the grand occasion before the Xian Gong appeared was recreated.

The City Guards just went through the motions of guarding, and various cultivators followed one after another to try their luck at the Lava Xian Gong.

Most people's mechanical attainments did not meet the standards and could only look in vain. A small number of people met the standards, entered the Xian Gong to explore, and became lucky people envied and hated by everyone.

Various businesses in Fire Persimmon Xiancheng became booming, public security also declined sharply, and illegal and undisciplined events became more and more frequent; the burden on Seeing Fei Si also became heavier and heavier.

The upheaval in the black market had a not-so-small impact on the pattern of Fire Persimmon Xiancheng.

The report jade slip about this matter was placed in the third position, urgently needing Seeing Fei Si's handling.

After reading it, Seeing Fei Si revealed a look of surprise, "Good boy, actually did such a thing overnight!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo wanted to intervene in the black market; the first thing he had to face was not the three gangs and three loose cultivators, but the City Lord's mansion.

Sun Lingtong was able to control the black market also by establishing a relationship with Seeing Fei Si, proactively offering benefits, and then obtaining the City Lord's mansion's tacit approval.

Unlike Ning Zhuo wrote a secret letter in advance and transferred it to Seeing Fei Si through Chen Cha.

When Seeing Fei Si saw the secret letter, Unlike Ning Zhuo's ambitious eyes appeared in his mind.

"Like!"

"Too much like me when I was young."

Unlike Ning Zhuo performed brilliantly in the matter of the mechanical ape and the subsequent matter of Yuan Dasheng, leaving a deep impression on Seeing Fei Si.

Seeing Fei Si appreciated Unlike Ning Zhuo quite a bit.

"The me of the past was also not favored."

"Also by studying, by constant adventure, climbed up step by step."

"The Seeing Fei Si of yesterday is the Unlike Ning Zhuo of today."

"Such an excellent young man, why not give him a hand?"

After Unlike Ning Zhuo returned to the family, although Seeing Fei Si was busy with ten thousand things, he still didn't forget to pay secret attention.

He saw Unlike Ning Zhuo's status in the family constantly rising, which often produced a joy from the bottom of his heart.

In his view: no one understood Unlike Ning Zhuo's character background better than him!

He looked forward to Unlike Ning Zhuo climbing higher and higher.

Because the higher Unlike Ning Zhuo's status, the more it could prove his own life philosophy, and the more it could prove his own success.

Because the higher Unlike Ning Zhuo's value, the more he could benefit from the relationship between himself and Unlike Ning Zhuo!

"Climb."

"Climb higher, a little higher."

"In the future, when the Meng family controls Fire Persimmon Xiancheng, you will control the Ning family; wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo's talent made Seeing Fei Si determine that he had great potential for development and room for investment.

Therefore, Unlike Ning Zhuo requested Seeing Fei Si to unify the black market, and Seeing Fei Si didn't think much and agreed.

"Just didn't expect you to do it overnight."

"Very interesting, very wonderful."

"Relying on Ning family Foundation Establishment cultivators to open up the situation, greatly intimidating all parties. And didn't make a move throughout the whole process, leaving no handle."

"Forcing the Monkey Head Gang to lead the charge, stirring up the black market into violent turmoil. The Monkey Head Gang suffered heavy casualties and became an obedient chess piece."

"Precisely subduing key forces and figures, firmly controlling the key points, achieving twice the result with half the effort!"

Just as Seeing Fei Si was secretly praising, Chen Cha came to see him.

Chen Cha brought Unlike Ning Zhuo's secret letter.

Seeing Fei Si opened the letter and took a look; Unlike Ning Zhuo didn't stint at all and handed over 50% of the profits to Seeing Fei Si.

Such a sensible performance made Seeing Fei Si laugh out loud.

For the past few days, this was the first time he had been so happy.

"50% of the profits is too high; handing over 30% is enough."

"As for the black market, I will only let you control it for a period of time."

"Manage it well during this period, don't cause trouble, and let me handle it!"

"When the time limit is reached, you must let go. Before that, try your best to prepare."

Seeing Fei Si replied with a secret letter and carefully put away Unlike Ning Zhuo's secret letter.

These were the evidence, the key to controlling Unlike Ning Zhuo in the future.

Just like the Monkey Head Gang Leader collecting evidence and handing it to Unlike Ning Zhuo, Unlike Ning Zhuo also proactively left a handle to win Seeing Fei Si's trust.

Seeing Fei Si's secret letter was passed to Unlike Ning Zhuo's hands.

Unlike Ning Zhuo remained calm, his heart without any waves.

He had long expected Seeing Fei Si's attitude and thoughts.

"The four major forces of Fire Persimmon Xiancheng: City Lord's mansion, Zhou family, Zheng family, and Ning family, cooperate and compete with each other, forming a certain degree of balance."

"The black market is one of the buffer zones under the power struggle of the four major forces."

"It can be controlled by Sun Lingtong, but it cannot be controlled by any of the four major forces, even if it is behind the scenes, finding an agent won't work."

"The reason I was able to get to the top is that this timing is too special."

"On one hand, with the Recruitment Order, foreign cultivators are constantly pouring in; a stable black market is good for the entire Xiancheng and for the four major forces. And Sun Boss's matter happened too suddenly; the four major forces didn't have time to discuss it properly and find a suitable person to control the black market."

"On the other hand, although I am a member of the Ning family, I am a branch member of the Ning family and have an irreconcilable conflict with the main branch! Seeing Fei Si of the City Lord's mansion is happy to see me succeed, and the Zhou family and Zheng family also hope for internal friction in the Ning family and will definitely support me in setting up another mountain. So, when I intervene in the black market, they will all feel that this idea is really good."

"Once the situation changes, outsiders no longer pour in, and Fire Persimmon Xiancheng returns to its previous situation, their demand for the black market will no longer be so strong."

"Once I control the black market for too long, or I have a trend of leaning toward the Ning family main branch, triggering the worries of the other three forces, they will also react quickly and expel me from the black market."

The control of the black market has a time limit.

Unlike Ning Zhuo had long been clear about this point.

"It doesn't matter!"

"My goal is the Lava Xian Gong."

"When I win the Xian Gong and become the master of the Xian Gong, what does it matter if I give up the mere black market?"

"At this critical moment, I need to show myself, win over the Ning family branch, and disintegrate the main branch's plot."

"The black market is just right!"

"Hehehe."

Unlike Ning Zhuo's mouth curled into a smile.

At this very moment, he had a sense of observing the overall situation and planning strategies.

"This is the feeling, this is the feeling of control..."

"Ah, so wonderful!"

For a time, Unlike Ning Zhuo was deeply immersed in this beautiful feeling, unable to extricate himself.

At the same time.

In his upper dantian spirit sea, the flower bud of the 'Human Life Hanging Thread' supernatural power prototype trembled slightly, and the flower bud opened a line outward.

The change in the supernatural power prototype was immediately noticed by Unlike Ning Zhuo.

A feeling of surprise surged into his heart.

"Very good!"

"I can feel that the next change in the supernatural power prototype will be a qualitative change, and it will bloom completely."

"By then, I will be able to truly master a supernatural power—Human Life Hanging Thread!" ===== CHAPTER 181 =====
