Evil of all ages

Chapter 165 Showdown
"Discovered?"

"I was careless and said the wrong thing, and he saw through a lot of my things."

"Indeed, one should not be too reckless, especially in front of intelligent people."

At the Prince's residence, Huang Taichu sat there petting a cat and eating melon.

Di Qingtian's physical functions were completely controlled by the Greedy World-Devouring Gu.

When he said that I am different from you, Di Qingtian relaxed completely. How could he not have noticed?

He immediately realized that Di Qingtian had already seen through many of his secrets.

Even so, Huang Taichu still acted carefree.

After all, if Di Qingtian weren't a little smarter, he wouldn't want to play with him.

an hour later
Di Qingtian returned, but he hadn't finished everything. Not to mention anything else, the pile of dismembered corpses outside the city gate alone was not something that could be cleaned up in a short time.

However, he couldn't do everything himself and delegate unimportant tasks to his subordinates.

He returned to entertain Li Xunhuan, not forgetting his mission; Li Xunhuan was definitely connected to the Azure Dragon Society.
He needed to extract the whereabouts of the military funds from Li Xunhuan.

Because he owed Li Xunhuan a life-saving favor and a great debt of gratitude, and because he had to pretend to be oblivious to certain things, he couldn't reveal his intentions too obviously.

A table of fine wine and food arranged

Every toast, every word of flattery and praise, made Li Xun extremely happy.

"Ah~"

Seeing that it was almost done, Di Qingtian sighed.

"The organization suffered heavy losses!"

"The banditry in Yunzhou has been resolved!"

"Even the Eastern Merchant army that infiltrated Yunzhou has been completely wiped out!"

"Brother Di, is there something else that's bothering you?"

Huang Taichu knew that Di Qingtian was faking it again.

However, she still played along with his act, pretending to be puzzled and asking.

"Brother Li, my mission in Yunzhou is to recover the military funds, but I can't even catch the tail of the Azure Dragon Society. How can I not be worried?"

Di Qingtian sighed.

As a result, Huang Taichu stopped talking and continued drinking his wine and petting his cat.

Di Qingtian became anxious upon seeing this: "You should at least say something! If you don't, how am I supposed to continue?"

"Brother Li, I'm suffering terribly!"

"Bearing the title of the world's number one detective, he was manipulated by the Green Dragon Society."

"From eliminating the Fu and Yang families in Shangyun County, to eradicating the Feilongzhai bandits, and up to today, it can be said that the Qinglong Society has been pushing me forward all the way."

"But I, Di, am completely helpless. Don't you think I'm utterly useless?"

Seeing that Li Xunhuan still didn't speak, he could only mock himself to gain sympathy.

Upon hearing this, Huang Taichu put down his wine cup and looked at Di Qingtian.

When Di Qingtian saw that Li Xunhuan finally reacted.

He was secretly delighted. Did Li Xunhuan feel sorry for him and was about to leak some information to him?

"Brother Di, don't you think my cat is adorable?"

Huang Taichu picked up Da Bai and asked.

Big White is also a proud cat; he glances at Di Qingtian with disdain.

The cat's mouth even mimics the shape of a human mouth when it speaks, almost as if it's about to shout out the word "idiot".

Di Qingtian was already exhausted when he saw that Li Xunhuan was giving him irrelevant answers.

He was stunned to see that this overly clever cat was openly looking down on him.

Such a smart man was actually looked down upon by a cat.

At this moment, Yin Tianyong rushed over.

"My lord, something terrible has happened! The gold and silver treasures we sealed away have been switched!"

When Di Qingtian saw Yin Tianyong's expression, he thought something serious had happened.

Just as he was about to ask, Yin Tianyong didn't give him a chance and told him immediately.

"What"

Di Qingtian immediately stood up.

Since the military pay could not be recovered, he planned to use the gold and silver treasures confiscated during the raid as emergency funds to send to the troops guarding the border.

It turned out to be switched.

He didn't have time to think too much, so he told Li Xunhuan to eat first while he went to see what was going on.

Upon arriving at the warehouse where gold and silver treasures were stored.

Upon seeing it, he froze.

He thought that the sealed gold and silver treasures had been switched with stones or other random things.

It turned out not to be.

It's military pay!
It was the military pay that had originally been lost.

The Green Dragon Society exchanged military pay for the gold and silver treasures he had sealed away.

Realizing what had happened, he quickly went forward to search and found a letter.

Open it and take a look

It was left behind by the Black Emperor, but whether it was written by the Black Emperor himself is unknown.

The above content roughly means: The Black Emperor had a lot of fun with him and specially returned the military pay to him so that he could keep his title as the world's number one detective.

Tell him that he, Di Qingtian, also owes the Qinglong Society a favor, which he will have to repay in the future.

Then it was gone.

"Keep a close eye on the military pay." Di Qingtian instructed Yin Tianyong to arrange for someone to keep a close eye on the military pay. He took the letter back and handed it to Li Xunhuan.

Li Xunhuan saw the letter handed to him, took it, and put it aside without even looking at it.

When Di Qingtian saw Li Xunhuan's actions, he felt a chill; Li Xunhuan was no longer pretending.

"You didn't even read the letter, which means you already knew its contents. Does that mean you admit you're a member of the Azure Dragon Society?"

"Or are you the Black Emperor?"

Di Qingtian cut to the chase and asked.

"What I can tell you is that I am indeed one of the seven leaders of the Azure Dragon Society, but I am not the Black Emperor."

Huang Taichu said with a smile.

Di Qingtian: "Who is the Black Emperor?"

Huang Taichu: "I don't know."

Di Qingtian: "You are all dragon leaders, how could you not know him?"

Huang Taichu: "What's so strange about that? Each leader of the Azure Dragon Society is independent; they all have their own organization and their own power."

"The Azure Dragon Society only connects them; it's normal that they don't know each other."

"Furthermore, the Black Emperor is different from the other dragon heads."

"Because the Black Emperor is the founder of the Azure Dragon Society, he knows the situation of all the dragon heads."

Di Qingtian: "Aren't you all alone? How did you become the leader?"

Huang Taichu couldn't help but laugh: "It's true that I'm all alone, but I can slaughter thousands of troops all by myself. That's my strength."

"Leaving aside the Azure Dragon Society, as long as I have the will, any dynasty or any power will be begging me to join."

"After all, no one can refuse the addition of a fierce person who can slaughter thousands of troops."

Di Qingtian: "Then what about the Azure Dragon Society...?"

Huang Taichu: "I've slaughtered thousands of troops, do you think the Azure Dragon Society can command me? Can restrain me?"

"What a joke, I can do whatever I want."

Di Qingtian: "One last question, do you know the son of the Ghost King?"

Huang Taichu: "I know him, but we're not close. I can only tell you that we're the same kind of people."

The same kind of people?

Di Qingtian frowned; he really wanted to know what he meant by "the same type of people."

How many other people in the world are like them?

"I should leave. If I stay here, countless forces will come to bother me."

After Huang Taichu finished eating and drinking, he got up to leave.

"You saved Yunzhou, and we haven't even had a chance to thank you on behalf of the people of Yunzhou. Why don't you stay a couple more days?"

Di Qingtian still wanted to persuade Li Xunhuan to stay.

"No"

"You'll be busy with this from now on, so I won't take up any more of your time."

"gone"

After saying that, Huang Taichu used his lightness skill to float away.

Di Qingtian turned his gaze away. Although he still had many doubts, the problem was no longer a big one. He still had a lot to do next.

However, before taking any action, he first had Yin Tianying spread the word that Li Xunhuan had already left.

He feared that countless forces would come looking for Li Xunhuan and disturb him.

As the news spread, the entire martial arts world was shaken.

Passerby A: "How is it possible for one person to slaughter 80,000 people? Even seven or eight Grandmaster-level experts couldn't do that."

Passerby B: "It's true, my seventh aunt's second son's friend, his brother's second cousin, is from Jiushui County."

"He said that when he left the city the next day, the ground was covered with blood-stained soil and piles of dismembered bodies as high as hills."

"They burned it for a day and a night, but it still wasn't completely burned."

Passerby C: "This is unbelievable! One person slaughtered an army of thousands. Is this Li Xunhuan some kind of immortal or Buddha in the world?"

Passerby Ding: "He must have made all ten Vulcan Gatling guns. I never imagined he was the world's number one weapon crafting master."

Ghostwriter 1: "Li Xunhuan is too perfect."

"The most handsome man in the world!"

"The world's number one ghostwriter!"

"The World's Number One Killing God!"

"The world's greatest weapon-forging master!"

"The world's number one expert in hidden weapons."

"..."

"Having achieved so many world-class feats, if he were to appear before me, I would have to kowtow to him from either side."

As soon as he finished speaking, a handsome and elegant man appeared in front of him.

"Really, if you want to kowtow to me, then come on, I can take it."

Huang Taichu's wicked sense of humor comes to the fore.

When the ghostwriter saw Li Xunhuan actually appear in front of him, his face turned pale, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

It has a kind of "Ye Gong loves dragons but is terrified of them" attitude.

I couldn't handle seeing the real person.

"cut"

Huang Taichu, finding it uninteresting, turned around and disappeared.
