Chapter 540

"There are so many things to think about," Li Ming sighed, shaking his head.

"What's wrong, Master?" Yang An stopped and asked.

Li Ming shook his head and said, "It's okay. Just practice hard. By the way, He Wei has gotten started now. You can teach him the contents of the next volume later."

"Yes, Master!" Yang An answered seriously.

Not long after, Wei Qingsong came hurriedly, looking unhappy.

"What's wrong?" Li Ming asked.

Wei Qingsong shook his head and said, "Mr. Li"

Then he looked around. Li Ming knew what he meant and immediately said, "Master Wei, follow me."

After saying that, he walked towards the inner room. Wei Qingsong naturally followed closely behind him, and Yang An looked at him with some worry, but he just practiced harder.

The two of them stood still in the room. Wen Yuqing was sitting cross-legged beside them, practicing Qigong. Wei Qingsong lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Li, something has happened. Several of the herbs in the prescription you wrote for me were bought out early this morning. And it's not just our Wei family's shop. All the herbs in circulation in the entire Nandu City have been checked out. Not even a single one is available for sale."

"Oh? Which ones?" Li Ming asked.

Wei Qingsong took out the note and pointed at a few lines of words and said, "Green Blood Grass, Seven-Leaf Flower, Pu Suzi."

Listening to the names of the medicines he read out, Li Ming chuckled, his expression very calm.

"It's just as I expected. Do you know who bought it?" Li Ming asked again.

Wei Qingsong said: "I asked the shopkeeper in my pharmacy, and he said that the Wenxiang Sect has invented a new formula for fragrant medicine, so they mixed so many herbs to make the medicine. Could it be that..."

Li Ming shook his head to signal Wei Qingsong not to speak, and said calmly: "Have you already made no secret of it?"

Wen Yuqing slowly finished his work after the two entered the house, and listened to their conversation.

"Mr. Li, what do you think this is?" Wen Yuqing already had a guess in his mind.
"It's obvious they don't intend to let you go so easily." Li Ming shook his head and then said to Wei Qingsong, "I'm sorry to bother you, Master Wei, for making this trip. However, if you get involved in what's going on, it won't be a good thing for you. Please go back."

"This..." Wei Qingsong hesitated for a moment.

Then Wen Yuqingye said, "The enemy's methods are ruthless. If we are not careful, our families will be in jeopardy. Master Wei, I will remember your favor and will repay you handsomely in the future. But for now, I beg you to remain useful to me for a while."

Wei Qingsong sighed and said, "I am incompetent, and I cannot burden you two. I will go back now. If there is anything you can do for me, just let me know. If I, Wei, say no, I will die!"

These words were extremely serious, so the two of them naturally gave him some advice. Only then did Wei Qingsong leave after leaving a large bag of medicinal herbs.

"Mr. Li, how is it?" Wen Yuqing asked.

"Haha." Li Ming sneered, "Don't even think about it. They've been able to achieve this, which shows that their influence in the city is definitely not small. Now they've bought out these herbs and forced you to show up or leave the city. The four gates must also be guarded by their people. They are just a sect called the Wenxiang Sect, but they have developed such a power. It's definitely not simple!"

Wen Yuqing nodded, clearly agreeing with what Li Ming said. He then frowned and said, "The Yue family owns 70% of Nandu City. Could it be that they are turning a blind eye to their actions?"

Li Ming said meaningfully: "I'm afraid the Yue family is not clean either."

Wen Yuqing's expression changed slightly, and he could only smile bitterly and said, "It seems that this is indeed their plan. Fortunately, Mr. Li, you persuaded me not to ask the Yue family for help, otherwise I would have walked into their trap."

Li Ming's face was as gloomy as water, but his eyes flashed with brilliance. He said thoughtfully, "We must prepare for the worst."

"Isn't this the worst situation now?" Wen Yuqing sighed.

Li Ming shook his head and said, "No. At least on the surface, the Wenxiang Sect is a gray area, half black and half white. The extent of the Yue family's cooperation with them is unknown. Perhaps it's just a matter of mutual benefit, or maybe..."

Li Ming's tone became very serious, and he continued, "The Yue family has been providing shelter to the Wenxiang Sect from the beginning to the end. The reason behind this is that they, the Yue family, may have some collusion with the Demonic Path. If this is the case, the situation in Jiaozhou is ten times more serious than you can imagine!"

The Yue family monopolizes the Nandu City and is a well-known force in the Jiaozhou martial arts world. Although not the best, it is definitely first-rate, especially Old Man Yue, who is a leading figure. But if it is true as Li Ming said, that it is a force supported by the Demon Sect, then it means that the infiltration of the Demon Sect in Jiaozhou has reached an extremely terrifying situation.

After all, when you see a mouse, it means there are too many mice in the dark to hide.

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuqing already looked somewhat desperate. He had originally planned to spread the news, but now it seems that perhaps he was still too naive. Behind them, the big hand behind them, the big net behind them, was simply not something he could break through.

When Wen Yuqing read this, his body shook, his face changed drastically, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Seeing this, Li Ming sighed, knowing that his mind was shaken, causing the injury to relapse and even triggering the poison in his body. He immediately slapped him hard on the back of the heart.

Then he shouted loudly, "Xiao An, quickly go get some water and bring the big vat from the backyard."

His voice was as light as a thread and fell into Yang An's ears, but the other disciples who were practicing martial arts in the field seemed to be unaware of it and were all practicing their boxing skills on their own. Yang An knew that this was a secret method of transmitting sound, so he only gave instructions and went to the backyard to move a large vat, and then fetched water into the house.

Soon, a large tank of clean water was filled. This tank was used to store water in the backyard and was very large. Yang An used a large bucket seven or eight times to fill half of the tank with water.

Seeing this, Li Ming grabbed Wen Yuqing with his palm and immersed him in the vat. The clear water just reached Wen Yuqing's neck. Then Li Ming pointed at his Fengchi and Yuzhen with his fingers, and poured the罡气 into his body.

But in just a moment, the clear water in the tank had turned as black as ink, but it exuded a rich fragrance. However, if you smelled it for a long time, it would make people feel dizzy.

“Change the water!”

Li Mingqing shouted, and Yang An, who had been waiting on the side, quickly changed half of the tank of water.

Repeat this three times, the water color gradually becomes clearer, the fragrance gradually becomes lighter, and finally gradually turns into a fishy smell.

Yang An couldn't help but cover his nose. Seeing this, Li Ming smiled and said, "You must know that everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme. The most stinky thing will become fragrant, and the most fragrant thing will also become smelly. If this poison is a little deeper, it will be colorless and odorless. By then, even I will be helpless!"

As he spoke, Li Ming's gestures changed again, and a visible aura rolled Wen Yuqing out. Then there was another shock, and countless tiny water droplets flew out, but were shaken back into the water tank by another aura.

At this time, Yang An looked again and found that Wen Yuqing's body was very dry, and it didn't look like he had just been fished out of the water.

At this time, Wen Yuqing opened his eyes, his eyes a little confused. Li Ming said calmly: "Try to use your power."

Wen Yuqing immediately closed his eyes upon hearing this, and then said in shock, "Is the remaining poison completely gone?"

"Haha, do you think I'm a quack?" Li Ming said complacently. "You really thought I was going to use medicine, but it was just a test. Now that I have the desired results, the news you gave me should have reached them as well. I'm sure they will take action soon. But except for me, all the people here are old and weak. If I were the one behind this, I would probably lure the tiger away from the mountain!"

Wen Yuqing pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right. Next, we'll have to see what the Yue family's attitude is."

at the same time.

"The person who reported coming to buy medicine is from the Wei Mansion." A man in black clothes and with his face masked appeared silently in the house.

There was a man standing behind the desk in the room. He had an upright posture and although his face was ordinary, he had an eagle-eyed and wolf-like aura.

"Wei Mansion? Which Wei Mansion?" he asked coldly.

"He's the owner of a martial arts gym on Wuguan Street. A spy reported that he was seen entering and leaving Wuxian Martial Arts Gym." The man in black reported.

"I see. Wuxian Martial Arts School, humph, always ruining my plans, damn Li Ming!" He slammed the table, his face filled with anger, then waved his hand and said, "Get out."

The man in black hurriedly left the study as if he had been pardoned, and the man was the only one left in the huge room.

Then, at some point, a breeze blew by, and another person appeared in the house silently.

"Director Dongfang, you don't have to do this next time." The man said coldly.

"Haha, Yue Dingchuan, I'm here to help you solve your problem." Dongfang Chang chuckled, his voice a little hoarse.

"If the Dao Master knew that the Wenxiang Sect under your command had made such a mistake, how many days do you think you could survive?"

Yue Dingchuan's expression changed slightly, and a cold light seemed to flash in his eyes. He then said, "I have thought of a way to make amends, and I have verified that the person who intervened is..."

"You mean Li Ming?" Dongfang Chang sneered again and continued, "The four generals of the Qi Clan are already the strongest on your side. Even they have fallen. Even if you knew who saved Wen Yuqing, what can you do?"

Yue Dingchuan's expression became increasingly grim, and he lowered his voice and said, "But what can you do? He was able to fight my eldest brother to a draw. He is definitely in a class of his own below the Grandmaster level. Moreover, if the news is true, he is probably a Grandmaster!"

The news Yue Dingchuan mentioned was naturally referring to the battle between Li Ming and Wen Qingfeng. There were many onlookers at this battle, so it could not be buried at all. However, Wen Qingfeng's strength also had to be questioned. With just a few words, it was hard to tell what level he was at.

But Yue Dingchuan was different. He had the support of the Demon Sect, so naturally he got the exact information from there.

Wen Qingfeng of Xishi Mountain is not only a veteran innate master, but also not a weak one among the masters. This shows how strong Li Ming is.

Just as Dongfang Chang said, even if we find out the truth, what can we do to Li Ming?

Seeing that Dongfang Chang didn't answer, Yue Dingchuan said anxiously, "Now you and I are on the same boat. When your plan is accomplished, you still want me to control Nandu City for you. Are you just going to sit back and watch?"

In the early years, people in the Demon Sect saw that Grandpa Yue Yuanba had the intention of splitting the family, so they naturally kept a backup plan. They exerted influence on the fourth son of the Yue family, Yue Dingchuan, early on, causing his mind to become distorted, and later they directly went online to build a bridge.

As expected, Yue Dingchuan is not someone who is content with mediocrity. He is full of jealousy and ruthlessness. In terms of martial arts talent, he is ordinary, but in terms of scheming and planning, he is much better than his brothers.

However, his mindset had shifted after all, and he never held power within the Yue family. So the Demon Sect secretly granted him the position of leader of the Wenxiang Sect, and let him take care of all the sect's affairs in the surrounding area.

Of course, the specific content of the transaction is not that simple. As time goes by, the contacts between the two parties become more and more frequent, and the content of the transaction becomes more and more in-depth.

By now, his true intentions were almost fully revealed, and his words were naturally very explicit. He wanted to eliminate Yue Yuanba of the Yue family and help him break through to his innate state so that he could successfully take charge of the Yue family in Nandu City.

And after that, the Yue family completely became a dog of the Demon Sect!

But based on Yue Dingchuan's personality, he was afraid that if he reached that situation, he would feel very dissatisfied, but he might not be able to find a way to counter it.

Now that a major event is about to take place, the Demon Sect not only appeals to Yue Yuanba's emotions and reason, and deceives him with words, but also puts in a lot of effort in other areas.

"Hehe." Dongfang Chang laughed, with a very strange expression on his face.

“There was nothing we could do originally, but now…”

He suddenly paused, then said, "But now, a mere Grandmaster will definitely find a way to deal with him."

"Really?" Yue Dingchuan asked immediately.

"Hahaha, don't forget what our common goal is!" Dongfang Chang said, "Actually, we are very similar. We are both equally unwilling to give in, and both equally ruthless! But I never thought that you would do such a thing to your third brother."

Upon hearing this, Yue Dingchuan's expression changed slightly, and he said in a cold voice, "Yue Zhenhai is not a simple person. I'm afraid he has discovered some clues. If he breaks through to the Xiantian realm and takes over the power, our actions will be much more difficult. He is not like Yue Dingtian and Yue Pingbo. He is very thoughtful. Moreover, if he breaks through to the Xiantian realm, it will be a big problem for me to manage the Yue family in the future."

Dongfang Chang just smiled when he heard the voice, and did not answer, but remained silent.

Yue Dingchuan was anxious and asked, "You haven't told me what you can do?"

"It's just that my fist is bigger."

At this moment, a chilling voice suddenly sounded from behind Yue Dingchuan.

Yue Dingchuan was shocked. He never expected that in such a small space, someone could be so close to him without attracting his attention. Doesn't this mean that if he wanted to, he could easily take his life?

"Who are you?"

"Me?" A handsome man with long hair and evil eyes in the dark shadows seemed to mutter to himself.

"Just a poor guy"
