I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 273 Planning
"However." Li Ming put forward a new guess.

"Is it possible that your fellow disciple who mastered the 'Fuyang Huanyang Gong' is still alive and has come here to retrieve the secret treasure?"

Miao Lingzi's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he said, "Logically speaking, this is completely unreasonable. The secret vault information should only be known to my master, senior brother, and me in the Xuanzhen Sect. Not to mention that my junior brother should have died, he probably wouldn't have come here. Besides..."

Miao Lingzi looked Li Ming up and down and said, "Little monk, you are indeed extremely talented and your martial arts skills have improved rapidly. After seeing you today, your skills have improved by another three points. But if you really meet my junior brother, there is no way you can escape unscathed!"

Miao Lingzi then paced a few more times, frowned in thought for a moment, and then said, "Tell me the whole story again in detail."

Li Ming naturally would not refuse, and he recounted the whole process in great detail, including how he tested his martial arts, what kind of martial arts he had used, every move and every style, no matter how big or small.

Then Miao Lingzi stood for a moment and practiced three or four moves, but his expression became very complicated.

Li Ming asked tentatively: "Master? How is it?"

"Could it be that the martial arts of our sect are from Xiaolong?" Miao Lingzi said to himself, his face looking half happy and half sad.

Seeing Li Ming staring at him, Miao Lingzi stroked his beard and said.

"I lost my composure when I heard the news suddenly."

Li Ming naturally said, "It's human nature, but it's hard to say for sure. There may be more twists and turns."

Then Li Ming expressed his thoughts.

"That man in black fought with me, then asked me about the account books and the 'Five Poisons Miasma-Repelling Pearl,' alluding to the selection of the City Lord of Jiulian City. If he is truly the Taoist's junior, then who is he working for now? It's not hard to guess."

"And then there's the Seven Star Sword I encountered in front of Jiulian City. This is definitely not a killer that Jiulian City can train and hire. Who is behind them? And the attitude of the Xiao family's ancestor is still ambiguous. Each of these things is not as easy as you said, Taoist Priest."

A serious look also appeared on Miao Lingzi's face, and he pulled Li Ming aside to discuss it in detail.

"That monk's martial arts skills are very powerful. I am no match for him. Besides, he is adamant and doesn't seem like he would negotiate with us." Yang Rulong had changed his clothes a long time ago. Although his name is Zhangyang, he looks very peaceful at this moment, with a calm face.

Unfortunately, the man opposite him was different. As Tong Ren's biggest competitor, he had long regarded the position of Jiulian City Lord as his own. However, accidents happened frequently in just two months. Now Tong Ren could compete with him, and the ancestor of the Xiao family had refused to express his position.

Others may not know, but doesn’t he know it in his heart?

His Zhao family has always had the support of the Demonic Path, but the support from the other party was not strong in the past, and it was just an idle family. But in this generation, it seems that there will be some big moves. He, Zhao Shikang, was accepted as a disciple by a true master of the innate Dao among the six paths of the Demonic Path. Although he did not receive much actual teaching, at least 50% of his current martial arts and status are due to the help of this "master".

Apart from anything else, all the shady things that happened in secret were done by the people assigned by his master.

But who knew that when the time came, there would be twists and turns.

Tong Ren's sudden rise to prominence clearly had someone behind him. Zhao Shikang wasn't afraid, as he'd been well prepared. He'd already been secretly tripping up those brothers and sisters who were eligible to run for the city lord position, leaving them with evidence. Several of Tong Ren's business accounts were fraudulent, and this was his doing. This matter could be major or minor, and generally, the higher-ups would condone it. You could break the rules to a certain extent, but you absolutely couldn't let anyone know about it; that would be crossing a red line.

Therefore, as long as this account book is taken out before the city lord selection, Tong Ren can easily lose his qualification as a candidate.

This was just one of the things Zhao Shikang had prepared. At that time, Tong Ren had not yet become famous and was not a big threat to him. He could even be said to be an ordinary one among many young men. He just had a reputation for being kind. Zhao Shikang was able to take the trouble to set a trap and leave evidence, which shows how vicious this person was!
The other people more or less all had similar objects in Zhao Shikang's hands, but unfortunately
Because Tong Ren kept a low profile and was considered to pose no threat, Zhao Shikang did not take this thing too seriously and only asked Manager Qin to keep and handle it. No one knew what went wrong, but it actually fell into the hands of others by accident.

However, the news leaked out from the three passes, and Zhao Shikang happened to send Manager Qin to seek the 'Five Poisons to Avoid Miasma Pearl' in response, and something went wrong at this juncture!

Manager Qin was afraid of punishment and wanted to make amends, but he ended up falling into Li Ming's hands and even lost the Sanwa Village, a force that Zhao Shikang had been managing for a long time.

At this point, Zhao Shikang was actually very angry with Li Ming and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

But what he didn't expect was that before he could take any action against him, he turned around and ruined his own plan. He eliminated the two underworld masters who he had offered a huge reward for in one fell swoop, and even had to escort Chu Youmeng into the city.

With all the new and old hatreds added together, and with the superb strength displayed by Li Ming, Zhao Shikang couldn't think of any good way to deal with it for a while. He had to ask for help from his sect and urgently dispatched a team of "Seven Star Swords" from Lingzhou to solve the problem.

But even the so-called "Seven Star Sword" that could rival the innate was eliminated by Li Ming alone, and they also stepped into Jiulian City openly.

At this point, it would be difficult to kill again!

Inside the city and outside the city are two different concepts.

No matter if the 'Nujiang Thirteen Evils' or the 'Seven Star Swords' hired assassins, colluded with gangsters, or used other dirty tricks, what would it matter if everyone guessed that he was behind them?
Is there any evidence?

This is the rule of righteousness!

Zhao Shikang has reached his current position in Jiulian City. Although his family background and the support of the Demon Sect are crucial, he is indeed a talented person. Although he is cruel and ruthless, he is well versed in the rules of both the black and white worlds and can use the rules calmly!

What can be done and what cannot be done!
Chu Youmeng died on the road before returning to the city. There are countless demons in this world. Who can she blame for her bad luck?

After I become the city lord, I will do my best to investigate this matter and avenge my sister!

Wouldn't that be the end of it?

After returning to the city, they will be in their own sphere of influence, causing trouble under the nose of their ancestors, and the safety of the nine descendants cannot be guaranteed, which will inevitably cause an earthquake!
And what about Li Ming?

After all, I'm an outsider. Even if something happens, who will take care of it? Who will ask about it?
He could just make an excuse even if his master came to him, which was why Zhao Shikang dared to send people to test him, and even wanted his master to take down Li Ming directly.

But even if they are outsiders, they can only act secretly and cannot act openly. The righteous path must care about this layer of face, otherwise there is no difference between them and the devil's sect!
