Chapter 135: Coming from Datong Fucheng

"Third Master Chen, please come in."

Xiang Du invited a middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing into a lobby.

The middle-aged man's name was Chen Yuzhi, and he was the helmsman of the third branch of the Chen family, so he was also called Third Master Chen.

A man holding a long blade with a cold and hard temperament followed behind Chen Yuzhi. He was an expert of the Chen family, a martial arts master at the Qi Transformation stage.

Xiang Du led the two into the lobby for guests, had people serve tea, and then withdrew.

Chen Yuzhi and the martial arts expert waited quietly in the lobby. This wait lasted for more than an hour.

The martial arts expert showed anger several times and finally couldn't help but speak:

"Third Master, is this Azure-Faced Ghost King not taking the Chen family seriously at all?!"

The dignified Third Master Chen was a guest of honor wherever he went. When had he ever received such treatment?

Chen Yuzhi picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea without haste, saying slowly:

"Since he killed a Dao Foundation powerhouse, he naturally has the capital to be proud. If you could also kill a Dao Foundation powerhouse, I would be willing to sit here and wait for you for so long."

The martial arts expert immediately stopped talking.

A moment later, footsteps came from outside.

Li Fei, wearing a black robe and a green evil ghost mask, walked into the lobby.

Chen Yuzhi quickly stood up and smiled, cupping his hands:

"Is Your Excellency the Azure-Faced Ghost King?"

"Yes, please sit."

Li Fei signaled for Chen Yuzhi to sit down, and he sat in the main seat.

"What is the matter with finding me?"

Li Fei asked straight to the point.

"The Ghost King is indeed straightforward."

Chen Yuzhi smiled, "Then I will speak directly. Regarding the exotic beast farm on the outskirts of the city, there are some misunderstandings between your Azure Origin City Management Company and us. I came here specifically for this matter."

"There is no misunderstanding."

Li Fei said unceremoniously, "The meaning of the Azure Origin City Management Company has been expressed very clearly. If you don't hand over this exotic beast farm within three days, I will take it back myself."

The martial arts expert standing behind Chen Yuzhi suddenly held his breath and became nervous involuntarily.

In fact, after the Tiger Blade Gang fell, the industries it left behind could be considered ownerless, and everyone fought for them based on their own ability.

But this Azure-Faced Ghost King suddenly stepped forward to take over the Tiger Blade Gang and wanted to take all the businesses left by the Tiger Blade Gang. From beginning to end, not a single person dared to say a word of refusal!

Even the Chen family retreated again and again in the face of this Azure-Faced Ghost King. Now that they took the initiative to send Chen Yuzhi to discuss the exotic beast farm, this Azure-Faced Ghost King didn't even want to talk about it, and his attitude was so tough that it could be called extremely domineering!

However, this attitude made the martial arts expert think of the Dao Foundation powerhouse killed by the Azure-Faced Ghost King, and he immediately felt an invisible pressure.

People have names, trees have shadows.

Being able to kill a Dao Foundation powerhouse one-on-one, he should be this domineering!

"Haha, of course, of course, no one doubts the amazing combat power of the Ghost King."

Chen Yuzhi's smile remained unchanged, "But there is indeed a misunderstanding here, because the one occupying that exotic beast farm is not our Chen family, but someone else."

"Oh?"

Li Fei looked at Chen Yuzhi, wanting to see what tricks the Chen family intended to play this time.

"The Tiger Blade Gang had been trading exotic beast food with our Chen family before. Your Excellency should know this. However, what Your Excellency doesn't know is that our Chen family cannot produce this exotic beast food ourselves; it is all bought from Datong Fucheng and then sold to the Tiger Blade Gang."

Chen Yuzhi said without haste.

"The Tiger Blade Gang wanted a large quantity of exotic beast food, and the payment involved was not a small sum. So the transactions with our Chen family were settled quarterly, and our Chen family and the sellers in Datong Fucheng also traded according to this model. But the Tiger Blade Gang collapsed too suddenly, and the payment for this quarter had not been settled yet. This made it very difficult for our Chen family. We couldn't just wipe out such a large debt for the Tiger Blade Gang, right?"

"Is there such a thing?"

Li Fei asked.

"Absolutely true. Your Excellency has already taken the accountant of the Tiger Blade Gang under your command. You can invite him over to ask."

Chen Yuzhi said very positively.

"So you want to say that the Chen family didn't want to pay the debt for the Tiger Blade Gang, so they let people from Datong Fucheng occupy the exotic beast farm left by the Tiger Blade Gang to pay off the debt?"

Li Fei looked at Chen Yuzhi with calm eyes.

Chen Yuzhi felt guilty being looked at.

Although he appeared very calm, at this moment, he and the martial arts expert behind him both felt a powerful pressure!

"Just to tell me this, Third Master Chen doesn't need to come in person, right?"

Li Fei asked.

"I am unworthy of the title of Third Master."

Chen Yuzhi said quickly, "I came here in person to see the Ghost King this time, also to mediate, to avoid any unpleasantness between the Azure Origin City Management Company and friends from Datong Fucheng."

"How does the Chen family want to mediate?"

"Everyone takes a step back. The other side is willing to use that exotic beast farm to offset the price of 600,000, and after deducting the debt of the Tiger Blade Gang, give the remaining money to the Azure Origin City Management Company."

Chen Yuzhi said sincerely, "Actually, the other side is already very sincere. After all, for the Azure Origin City Management Company, this is equivalent to picking up a sum of money for nothing, isn't it?"

"Heh."

Li Fei laughed.

Although he had never farmed exotic beasts, he had also learned about some.

Exotic beast farming is not just circling a piece of land and putting exotic beasts in it to start farming.

Depending on the species and habits of the exotic beasts, different venues need to be built. For example, some fire-attribute exotic beasts need to live in a high-temperature environment, and some water-attribute exotic beasts need to live in a low-temperature environment. This is just the simplest environmental requirement.

So to build an exotic beast farm, the maintenance fee alone is a huge sum of money every year.

From the bill given by He Yun, it can be seen that Yu Hu and Zhang Mingze had invested more than 3 million into that exotic beast farm on the outskirts of the city over the past few years, and the value of the exotic beasts raised inside alone was no less than 1 million!

So the 600,000 reported by Chen Yuzhi was simply a joke.

"Trouble Third Master Chen to go back and tell the people in Datong Fucheng for me that the debt owed by the Tiger Blade Gang has nothing to do with the Azure Origin City Management Company. If they really want it, I can send them to Yu Hu to collect the debt."

Li Fei said in a calm tone.

The expression on Chen Yuzhi's face froze.

Yu Hu was already dead. Sending them to Yu Hu to collect the debt—this meaning could not be more obvious!

He didn't expect Li Fei to be so tough.

"Ghost King, I will say one more word. Datong Fucheng is different from Xingcheng. There are many experts there, and the water is very deep."

Chen Yuzhi said cautiously.

"Thank you Third Master for the reminder, I won't see you out."

Li Fei picked up the teacup on the side to signal the guests to leave.

Chen Yuzhi narrowed his eyes, stood up, and bowed to Li Fei:

"Goodbye."

After the two left, Shangguan Xiao walked out from behind the screen in the lobby.

"Aunt-Master."

Li Fei stood up and took the initiative to give up the main seat.

"This Chen family is indeed cunning. They don't have the ability to suppress you themselves, so they actually borrowed people from Datong Fucheng to suppress you."

Shangguan Xiao said coldly.

"Does Aunt-Master have any suggestions?"

Li Fei asked.

"Your attitude is correct. Exotic beast farming is very important. In the future, if the Azure Origin City Management Company wants to go further, it must be able to farm exotic beasts itself."

Shangguan Xiao said.

"Hmm."

Li Fei nodded.

"But the last sentence Chen Yuzhi said is indeed reasonable. The water in Datong Fucheng is very deep. Provoking the forces there will make this matter very tricky."

Shangguan Xiao frowned.

Li Fei: "A strong dragon does not suppress a local snake. Even if that force is powerful in Datong Fucheng, it may not work when it comes to Xingcheng."

Shangguan Xiao smiled and looked at Li Fei: "You have confidence."

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover."

Li Fei said calmly.

On the other side, Chen Yuzhi took his martial arts expert and walked out of the Azure Origin Fist Stronghold, getting into a luxury car.

The luxury car soon drove away from the Azure Origin District, entered the Kaiping District, and stopped outside the gate of a 'Qingyin Small Class.'

This is a first-class brothel, a truly high-end place.

Chen Yuzhi took the martial arts expert and walked into the courtyard gate, and soon someone greeted them enthusiastically:

"Third Master is here."

"Lead the way."

Chen Yuzhi said with a gloomy face.

"Yes."

The person who came saw that Chen Yuzhi was in a bad mood and did not dare to say more, quickly leading the way.

Soon, Chen Yuzhi walked into a separate private room, and the martial arts expert guarded outside the door.

In the private room, the Chen family head, Chen Yujing, was personally accompanying a man with a gloomy appearance and a fierce temperament like fire, drinking.

Two women with graceful figures, wearing semi-transparent clothes, accompanied the man on the left and right, while a woman with an elegant temperament was pouring wine for the two beside Chen Yujing.

"Third Brother is here, come and sit."

Seeing Chen Yuzhi enter the private room, Chen Yujing greeted him with a smile.

"Big Brother."

"Mr. Zhang."

Chen Yuzhi bowed to the two people in the private room respectively.

The gloomy man called Mr. Zhang glanced at Chen Yuzhi and nodded slightly, his attitude very arrogant.

Chen Yuzhi didn't care about this and sat down beside Chen Yujing.

Chen Yujing first waved his hand, signaling the women in the private room to go out, and then asked Chen Yuzhi:

"How is it? Did you see the Azure-Faced Ghost King?"

"Saw him."

Chen Yuzhi nodded, "He told me that the debt owed by the Tiger Blade Gang has nothing to do with him. If I really want to collect the debt, he can send us to Yu Hu to collect it."

"Heh."

Chen Yujing sneered.

Pa!

Mr. Zhang, who was drinking opposite, smashed his wine glass directly on the table. A shocking murderous aura erupted from him, making Chen Yujing and Chen Yuzhi shudder.

"What Azure-Faced Ghost King? A frog in a well in a small place dares to call himself a king?"

Mr. Zhang sneered.

This remark also swept in the Chen family, making the expressions of Chen Yujing and Chen Yuzhi a little awkward.

"This person is naturally incomparable to you, Mr. Zhang."

Chen Yuzhi said with a smile.

"This time we are willing to talk to this so-called Ghost King, entirely out of respect for your Chen family. Since the other party doesn't know what's good for them, there's no need to talk. I will directly let this so-called Azure-Faced Ghost really become a ghost!"

Mr. Zhang's tone was very big.

Being able to say such things while knowing that the Azure-Faced Ghost killed a Dao Foundation powerhouse proved that this person was at least a Dao Foundation powerhouse!

"Mr. Zhang, dealing with a mere Azure-Faced Ghost is naturally easy for you."

Chen Yujing said, "But the other party not only has one Dao Foundation powerhouse, the Azure-Faced Ghost has already joined forces with the Great Dragon Head of the Azure Origin Fist Stronghold. Moreover, we received news that this Great Dragon Head is about to serve as the Chief of the Xingcheng Stop-the-War Academy! In addition, she also has a Senior Brother who is even stronger. So it is best not to act rashly."

"If the Azure-Faced Ghost dies, will the other two Dao Foundation powerhouses spare no effort to avenge him?"

Mr. Zhang suddenly asked.

"This..."

Chen Yujing and Chen Yuzhi were stunned.

"Aren't you already sure that they are just a cooperative relationship?"

"Indeed."

"Then I only need to kill the Azure-Faced Ghost."

Mr. Zhang said coldly.

Chen Yujing and Chen Yuzhi looked at each other, feeling that what the other party said made sense.

The Azure-Faced Ghost and the Azure Origin Fist Stronghold were only in a cooperative relationship. If the Azure-Faced Ghost suddenly died, would that Great Dragon Head and her Senior Brother fight to the death with a powerful force from Datong Fucheng for the sake of an Azure-Faced Ghost?

"When does Mr. Zhang plan to act?"

Chen Yujing asked.

"The sooner the better. Can you grasp the whereabouts of the Azure-Faced Ghost?"

Mr. Zhang asked.

"This is very difficult to grasp, but we can use that exotic beast farm to lure the other party out."

Chen Yujing said, "It's just that I'm afraid the other party will also guard against this point. When the time comes, if that Great Dragon Head also follows, it won't be easy to handle."

"Then you find a way to entangle that Great Dragon Head. I only need five minutes."

Mr. Zhang said confidently.

He looked at Chen Yujing and Chen Yuzhi: "Your Chen family won't even be able to entangle that Great Dragon Head for five minutes, right? If so, then you are not qualified to take over that exotic beast farm."

Chen Yujing's expression remained unchanged: "Please rest assured, our Chen family still has this ability."

"Then that's it. Find an opportunity to lure out that Azure-Faced Ghost, and I will slaughter him!"

Mr. Zhang poured himself another pot of wine and decided the fate of the Azure-Faced Ghost in a lighthearted manner.

"Good, let's toast Mr. Zhang!"

Chen Yujing and Chen Yuzhi raised their wine glasses together to toast the other party.

Soon, the accompanying women who had left before were called in again.

The atmosphere in the private room became enthusiastic again.

For the next two days, Xingcheng was calm, but the Chen family occupied that exotic beast farm and still had no intention of leaving.

The Azure Origin City Management Company had no action for the time being.

That night, the Mr. Zhang from Datong Fucheng left the residence arranged for him by the Chen family, preparing to find a 'Qingyin Small Class' to continue seeking pleasure.

Besides practicing martial arts, his biggest hobby was this.

Or rather, he practiced martial arts desperately and became a Dao Foundation powerhouse, just to make his 'little brother' happier.

He could be called a true evil ghost among the lustful!

"Hmm?"

Zhang Shan suddenly stopped after walking into a deserted alley.

Directly in front of him, a figure was standing there quietly.

Black martial robe, green evil ghost mask, standing with a blade!

"Are you that Azure-Faced Ghost?"

Zhang Shan looked at the person who came, a cold and sharp smile blooming on his face:

"Interesting, I haven't gone to find you yet, but you found me first. Good, it saves me a lot of trouble."

More than fifty meters away, Li Fei did not speak, just pulled out the Ghost Slaying Blade bit by bit!
