Chapter 201: Long Gang

A few hours later, the Flame Clone broke the cave abode array, easily scraped away all the treasures inside, and then found Long Xuan with a bulging storage bag. Long Xuan was overjoyed and hurriedly snatched the storage bag.

"Succeeded so quickly?"

He couldn't wait to open the storage bag, looked inside, and seeing that the three cultivation methods and that Soul Nourishing Wood were all inside, his eyes narrowed, and his smile became even more brilliant.

"Beautifully done. You go back once now and transplant this Soul Nourishing Wood into my medicine garden."

"Remember to guard it well with an array. Don't ever let those few little things ruin it."

Long Xuan threw the storage bag toward the Flame Clone again.

The Straw Gu hut was naturally disabled here, but it could be used completely outside; otherwise, Long Qian wouldn't have brought them over by teleportation.

However, if he wanted to use the Straw Gu hut outside, he still needed to find a way to divert those few Long Clan overseers. Long Xuan's eyes turned, and he had an idea in his heart.

Outside.

Three Long Clan Spirit Sea stage overseers sat around a table. The table was filled with sumptuous food and wine, with roast chicken, roast duck, roast whole lamb, and fine wine, everything available.

After two and a half years of city sealing, these three Spirit Sea stage Long Clan Gu Cultivators had been eating soil and drinking urine all day, and were truly scared of hunger.

So ever since Black Stone City was unsealed, they had been eating and drinking wildly all day, carrying out retaliatory consumption, eating and drinking well every day, as if they wanted to make up for all the suffering they had endured in these few years.

"Head, something is not right. Recently, not only have we not found a single piece of Geng Metal Essence, but the output of Geng Metal has also dropped significantly."

In front of the table, Long Zhan took a hard bite of a chicken leg and said.

The leader, Long Gang, frowned slightly and said somewhat uncertainly: "Digging for Geng Metal itself is a matter of luck. It is normal for the output to fluctuate within a few percent."

"Not right, right?" Long Xunhuan drank a small cup of wine and looked toward the Bai Clan direction: "Look over there. Clearly, the mine area they were divided into is far less than ours, but the Geng Metal output they dug out is far more than ours."

"Yesterday they even dug out a piece of Geng Metal Essence. The miner who dug the Geng Metal Essence was rewarded with quite a few rewards by them. I felt tempted watching it."

The two looked toward the Bai Clan direction together, seeing that their harvest was far more than this side, and their hearts were unbalanced.

Why did their side occupy the largest area of the mine vein, but the harvest was far less than the Bai Clan? This was unfair.

"Could it be that they are lucky, and the mine areas they drew are all the richest mine areas here? While we, although we snatched most of the mine areas, snatched all poor mines?"

Long Gang's face turned black, and he suddenly felt that the food on the table was not fragrant.

Long Zhan threw away the chicken bone in his hand and hesitated: "It doesn't exclude this reason. After all, the mine areas we chose were all decided by drawing lots. It's hard to say if they really stepped on dog shit luck and drew all the

"However, I suggest we go to the mine tunnel to check later; perhaps there might be some other reason."

The other two nodded in unison and immediately decided to go to the mine tunnel together to take a look after finishing this meal.

Just at this moment, Long Xuan walked out from the mine tunnel, heading toward them with a solemn expression, as if he had something to say.

Seeing that someone appeared to have an urgent matter to report, the three supervisors set down their bowls and chopsticks together.

Long Xuan walked up to the dining table and said straight to the point: "I discovered a secret passage in the mine tunnel leading to the Bai Clan's mining area. It seems to have been dug from the Bai Clan's side, and I even used a Shadow Recording Gu to record their conspiracy against the Long Clan. It is not convenient to watch the footage here."

"What?" Upon hearing this, Long Gang was thunderously enraged. He stood up instantly and said with uncontrollable fury: "I was wondering why the Geng Metal production had dropped; so it was all their doing."

"Did they frequently run over to our side to mine through the secret passage? This is simply outrageous!" Long Gang slammed the table heavily and roared in a rage.

"It must be them; otherwise, why would they dig that secret passage? Our Geng Metal must have been stolen by them. These thieving, dog-like things, why don't they just die!"

Long Zhan also stood up angrily, looking toward the Bai Clan's direction with eyes spitting fire, wishing he could go over and settle the score with them right now.

"Hmph! I said the Geng Metal production was very high in the first half of the month, so why did it suddenly drop off a cliff? The decrease was without warning; it was nobody else but them, it was their doing!"

Long Xunhuan also slammed the table and stood up, looking toward the Bai Clan's direction with burning anger, nearly exploding with rage.

Watching the three men in a thunderous rage, Long Xuan was stunned. He hadn't expected them to be able to pin this on the Bai Clan too. The Bai Clan was carrying this black pot well; once they were dead, there would be no proof of this matter. It was killing two birds with one stone.

"Didn't you use the Shadow Recording Gu to record their crimes? Give it to me; I want to see how they will try to quibble this time."

Long Xuan handed over the Shadow Recording Gu he had prepared long ago. The content recorded in this Shadow Recording Gu had already been trimmed of its beginning and end by him, leaving only what should be left and deleting everything that shouldn't.

For instance, the part where they initially discussed the existence of a cave abode in the mine vein—Long Xuan felt it was better not to let the Long Clan's Gu cultivators know this news for now, so he deleted that segment.

Long Gang took the Shadow Recording Gu from Long Xuan with a gloomy face. Just as he was about to see what had been recorded, he remembered that there were still Bai Clan people in the distance and that this was not the place to play the footage, so he took the Shadow Recording Gu and walked toward a secret chamber.

"I'll take a look too; I want to see exactly how they stole my clan's Geng Metal."

The other two supervisors hurriedly got up and followed.

Watching the backs of the three supervisors as they left, Long Xuan waited until they were completely far away before waving his hand behind him. The Flame Clone immediately darted into the distance with wind-like speed...

After the three Long Clan supervisors walked into a sealed stone chamber, Long Gang couldn't wait to project the footage recorded by the Shadow Recording Gu onto the stone wall.

However, the content of the footage exceeded all of their expectations. The conspiracy of the six people on it was not about discussing how to steal Geng Metal, but rather discussing a major conspiracy against the Long Clan.

They actually planned to kill all the geniuses here, kill the three of them as supervisors, and then frame the Great Yin Dynasty for the incident, letting the matter fade away under the City Lord's pressure.

Hearing what they were discussing, the three men's faces turned gloomy together, and their temples were covered with bulging veins.

"Heh heh! A good scheme! Truly a good scheme!" Long Gang clenched his fists, laughing out of extreme anger.

"So ruthless. The Bai Clan has such wolfish ambitions. If they had really succeeded, our clan would have truly suffered a silent loss and lost the strongest geniuses of this generation."

Long Xunhuan's face was ugly. Thinking about it, he felt a lingering fear in his heart. If Long Xuan hadn't accidentally recorded their conspiracy, the consequences would have been truly unimaginable.

"Damn it! These dog bastards really won't give up. Now that their conspiracy has been recorded by the Shadow Recording Gu, the evidence is ironclad. Let's go find the City Lord right now and see how they can deny it!"

Long Zhan had a fiery temper and originally wanted to rush out to settle the score with them, but thinking that there were six of them, he immediately wilted, thinking it was better to go find the City Lord to reason.

"No!" Long Gang hurriedly reached out to stop him: "This Shadow Recording Gu must absolutely not be handed over to the City Lord right now."

Long Gang narrowed his eyes, revealing a trace of ruthlessness, and said: "With the Great Yin Dynasty's attack imminent, the City Lord's approach to handling this matter will definitely be to turn hostility into friendship; this is also his recent approach to handling similar incidents."

"If we hand over this Shadow Recording Gu, the City Lord will definitely take an attitude of pacification and handle the matter peacefully, at most giving some compensation, and in the end, it will just fade away."

"How could we let those wolf cubs off so easily? I won't be able to vent the hatred in my heart without giving them a severe lesson, so this Shadow Recording Gu must absolutely not be handed over."

Long Gang looked at the Shadow Recording Gu in his hand, revealing an insidious smile, and laughed sinisterly: "Don't you think this is an opportunity to kill and seize treasures in a fair and square manner? Opportunities don't come twice."

"We don't need to do anything; we just wait for them to take the bait. When they come to kill, we can completely kill them in self-defense, taking the opportunity to seize their treasures, as well as the large amount of Geng Metal and Geng Metal Essence they have dug out."

"I discovered that this Shadow Recording Gu has the ability to record from a long distance. It can completely and secretly record the Bai Clan's night raid on our side."

"When the time comes, we will take this Shadow Recording Gu to the City Lord and say that we were defending ourselves and accidentally used excessive force, slaughtering those people. No one will say anything."

"On the contrary, seeing that the Great Yin Dynasty's attack is imminent, the City Lord will definitely take an attitude of pacification for the sake of stability in the city and stop the Bai Clan from attacking us."

"We don't need to do anything; we just need to watch the show from the sidelines. The City Lord will help us suppress this matter. Heh heh, this is called using their own methods to treat them."

Upon hearing this, Long Zhan and Long Xunhuan were both shocked, and both looked at Long Gang with surprised eyes.

They thought, this Long Gang has thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking like an honest and simple person, but they didn't expect his heart to be so black. This move was truly too ruthless; he actually planned to take out six Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivators from the Bai Clan in one go. Wouldn't the Bai Clan go crazy?

The blackness of this Long Gang's heart was on par with that City Lord! Being targeted by such a person, the Bai Clan was going to have terrible luck this time. They were simply lifting a rock only to drop it on their own feet; losing six Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivators would make their hearts ache to death.

Long Zhan and Long Xunhuan looked at each other. Long Zhan suddenly slapped his thigh excitedly and shouted: "Wonderful! This plan is wonderful! It's simply beyond words!"

"Let's do it! We can't be soft-hearted when dealing with that pack of wolf cubs. This time, we must make them pay a heavy price!"

Long Xunhuan also curled his lips, revealing an insidious smile: "You thought it through so thoroughly, even calculating the City Lord's psychology. That's right, we can absolutely do this boldly. Even if we kill all the Bai Clan Gu cultivators here, it won't be a problem. Once the Bai Clan goes crazy, the City Lord will suppress it for us. Heh heh..."

Good heavens, he was even blacker-hearted. With the City Lord providing cover, he actually had the thought of wiping out all the Bai Clan Gu cultivators here. It was simply insane.

Long Gang nodded and sneered: "Since both of you have agreed, let's make the arrangements now."

"I will arrange a hidden place for this Shadow Recording Gu. In addition, each of us three will contact three close friends who are capable of fighting. By then, we will have a total of twelve Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivators."

"And on the opposite side, there are six Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivators. Twelve against six, our numbers are double theirs, enough to form a two-on-one situation."

"Plus, with the ambush set in advance, we are guaranteed to win this round. Trapped in this mine-protecting grand formation, none of them will be able to escape."

"Heh heh! I'm afraid they would never imagine, even if they worked themselves to death, that we have already developed the technology to teleport living beings over long distances, and reinforcements can be in place instantly."

"Even if they prepare to make a move on us tonight, we will have enough manpower to devour them."

"Heh heh, when they see so many people hidden in the house, they will be shocked."

"I am looking forward to their expressions. This time, I must make them pay a heavy price!"

Long Gang slammed the table heavily in excitement, a fierce look appearing in his eyes, and killing intent instantly filled the entire room.
