I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

One thousand taels of gold?

Chi Lingsha's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard Lu Xuan's offer.

To be able to casually carry a thousand taels of gold and wander around this yellow sand city, and even trespass on her territory—if it were anyone else, they would probably have already devoured you, Lu Xuan.

"You've got some nerve, daring to wander around Huangsha City with so much money."

Chi Lingsha said, then stared at Lu Xuan for a while before speaking.

"I can help you find someone."

"But I want ten thousand taels, no bargaining."

Chi Lingsha raised one finger.

Ten thousand taels of gold.

This price, far from scaring Lu Xuan away, actually made his eyes light up.

He's not afraid of your greed, he's afraid of your lack of greed.

People like Tang An clearly have ulterior motives and are deliberately trying to extort money.

However, it was Chi Lingsha's initiative to raise the price that piqued Lu Xuan's interest.

The reason the other party offered this price is because they have made certain assessments of the task content.

She didn't even ask who Lu Xuan was looking for. The reason she offered that price was because she could handle anything within that price range.

"And I guarantee you the results."

"I said, Chi Ling Sha."

"Okay, deal."

Lu Xuan nodded immediately.

He then took out another 10,000 taels of gold from his storage ring.

Ten thousand taels of gold is only equivalent to one million taels of silver.

When Lu Xuan arrived, he also exchanged a full 100,000 taels of gold.

We haven't even used half of it yet.

When Lu Xuan took the ten thousand taels of gold without saying a word and placed it on the table,

Even the most arrogant Chi Lingsha restrained herself at this moment, bringing her legs back from the table and standing up, looking at Lu Xuan with a serious expression.

"You...are you really here to find someone?"

Chi Lingsha wanted to glean some clues from Lu Xuan's face.

Why are you bringing so much money to find someone?

With that much money, who can't buy it?

Could it be that you've come looking for me? Want me to sleep with you?!

The more Chi Lingsha thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

I'll ask again later. If it really involves sleeping with someone, then we'll have to add at least a little more.

If I asked my mother to pay ten thousand taels, that would be a bit beneath me.

We must not agree so easily.

"Reporting to the leader, I have indeed come to find someone."

"The person I'm looking for is Lin Haichao. About ten days ago, he was taken away near Wuling County in the Xuanwu Dynasty. The information I received is that he was taken to Huangsha City to be used as a boxer in the Feisha Arena."

"Huangsha City is completely isolated, and outsiders cannot detect what's going on inside. So we have no choice but to ask the gang leader for help."

Lu Xuan said.

After hearing Lu Xuan's detailed explanation, Chi Ling Sha finally believed him.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

They really came looking for someone!

Since they're here to find someone, that makes things easier.

"Lin Haichao, Wuling County... about ten days... I understand."

"You wait here, I'll take this money first."

Chi Ling Sha said, and then directly put away all the 10,000 taels of gold on the table.

At the same time, Chi Ling Sha was also observing Lu Xuan's expression.

He was slightly shocked to find that Lu Xuan's expression had not changed at all.

They also realized that Lu Xuan was no ordinary person.

They had the audacity to bring so much money to Huangsha City, and even dared to take it out in front of me.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that they can come up with so much money already speaks volumes.

"Xiao Fei, pour a cup of tea for our distinguished guest."

Chi Ling Sha stood up and said.

A beautiful maidservant came up and poured Lu Xuan a cup of flower tea.

The aroma of the flower tea permeates the air.

Lu Xuan smelled it; the flowers used were not ordinary either.

It's good tea.

Thank you.

Lu Xuan took a sip of tea.

tasty.

Lu Xuan had looked at all three major gangs in Huangsha City, and the Red Sand Gang was the most pleasing to the eye.

But it's estimated that the people of the Red Sand Gang are not simple either, otherwise all these beautiful women would have been eaten alive in this Yellow Sand City long ago, leaving not even bones behind.

The Red Sand Gang is predominantly female, which is not hard to understand.

After all, there are women among the wanted criminals.

Moreover, when women get serious, they can be many times more ruthless than men, and women have their own advantages.

Chi Ling Sha did indeed do her job after receiving the money.

He simply told Lu Xuan to sit in his original seat, and about half an hour later, he personally brought in a portrait and dusted himself off.

You can see some bloodstains on Chi Ling Sha's dress.

Even Chi Ling Sha's fists had some scratches, indicating that she had gotten into a fight during her trip outside.

I reckon they used some violent methods.

"Look, is this the person?"

Chi Lingsha placed the portrait on the table.

When Lu Xuan opened it, it was indeed a portrait of Lin Haichao. However, Lin Haichao in the portrait looked a little thin, as if he had gone through a hardship.

"It's him."

"Master, where is this person?"

Upon seeing this, Lu Xuan quickly asked.

Lin Haichao is, after all, Lin Qiao's father.

Of course, even though he slept with Lin Qiao, he was still a senior, and even Lin Haichao couldn't take advantage of Lu Xuan. Everyone should act according to their own principles.

Those who need to be saved still need to be saved.

When they heard that it was indeed this person.

Chi Lingsha's gaze also dimmed slightly.

"I advise you to give up on finding him."

"I can tell you, this person is in the hands of the Poison Sand Gang."

"Moreover, they are highly likely to be key personnel to be cultivated."

"To the Poison Sand Gang, you're just a money-making tool. They're not going to return you to them. You should just give up on that idea."

Chi Ling Sha glanced at Lu Xuan and said that she didn't know what relationship the person in the portrait had with Lu Xuan, but if the person fell into the hands of the Poison Sand Gang, it was probably impossible to get him back.

No matter how much money you offer, it won't help.

The members of the Poison Sand Gang are ruthless and vicious.

Where else would people do such good deeds?

"Oh, so it really is in the hands of the Poison Sand Gang."

Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Chi Lingsha's words, feeling as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders. He had finally found out where the guy was. Because he hadn't known before and had no way to lock onto the target, the mission had become too difficult.

Now that we know it's in the hands of the Poison Sand Gang, things will be much easier.

That was his guess at the time, so the first place he went to was the Poison Sand Gang. He didn't expect that the short guy would take the money and not do anything, and even pretend to help him negotiate.

Chi Ling Sha looked at Lu Xuan, but why did Lu Xuan seem to have no worries at all?

It would be better if it fell into the hands of any other gang than the Poison Sand Gang.

This is arguably the worst possible outcome.

But to his surprise, Lu Xuan seemed completely unconcerned.

"Thank you, Boss. This news is very important to me."

"But does the gang leader know exactly where he's being held within the city?"

Lu Xuan asked.

Let's get them out of there first.

Chi Ling Sha glanced at Lu Xuan.

"He is being held in the fourth level of the underground city, in the Black Stone Cave controlled by the Poison Sand Gang."

"Hmm? The fourth level of the dungeon?"

Lu Xuan frowned, his aged brows furrowing. What does "the fourth level of the underground city" mean?

"you do not know?"

Seeing Lu Xuan's surprised expression, Chi Lingsha asked a question in return.

But that's not surprising, as Lu Xuan was probably visiting Huangsha City for the first time.

Therefore, they had no idea about the situation in Huangsha City.

"Is this your first time visiting Huangshacheng?"

"Huangsha City is different from the outside world because of the strong winds and sandstorms, so the interior space of the city is constantly expanding underground."

"Huangsha City has a total of seven underground city levels."

"This is the first floor; the deepest part is the seventh floor."

"Among them, the sixth and seventh floors belong to the city lord's territory, and outsiders are not allowed to approach them."

"Starting from the fifth level, the area is divided into underground cave cities."

"Special spiritual energy will be generated within the cave city, which is of great benefit to cultivators."

"Occupying different cave cities also represents the strength of one's forces."

"I said, Chi Ling Sha."

"So that's how it is!?"

Lu Xuan was slightly surprised. He was indeed surprised. No wonder the Yellow Sand City didn't look so terrifying from the outside. It turned out that there was a world inside, extending directly into the depths of the earth.

Furthermore, different cave cities were divided according to the different spiritual energy levels.

It is estimated that these cave cities are located in the true core of the major forces.

No wonder I didn't sense any powerful beings hiding underground when I went to the Poison Sand Gang and the Flying Sand Gang.

The reason why Huangsha City has existed for so long is precisely because of its downward-extending structure.

It can be said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack. If an enemy were to enter, they might even get lost in that underground city, and the main force would not be able to get in at all.

For those unfamiliar with the route, it's a dead end.

Naturally, no one dared to attack Huangsha City.

As for your suggestion to send a large army to blockade the entire Huangsha City and cut off all supplies inside Huangsha City?

That's pure fantasy.

An unpredictable sandstorm can blow you and your horse hundreds of feet into the air.

You've already been completely wiped out without anyone even lifting a finger.

Lu Xuan indeed looked completely unaware.

Chi Lingsha shook her head.

If they don't even understand the internal structure of Huangsha City, then there's no point in even thinking about rescuing the people below.

"Although each floor has a public area, the cave cities controlled by the major powers are the core areas, and ordinary people cannot enter them. It is even more impossible for you to forcibly take someone away."

"I said, Chi Ling Sha."

"The fourth level... Blackrock Cave City, is that right?"

Lu Xuan seemed not to hear Chi Lingsha's words, muttering to himself.

Chi Ling Sha was startled when she heard Lu Xuan's mutterings.

"Old man, are you really going?"

Chi Lingsha's eyes were filled with surprise.

Lu Xuan, however, remained calm, smiled slightly, and looked at Chi Ling Sha.

"Yes, I'm going."

"By the way, Chief Chi, could you perhaps inquire further... whether the Poison Sand Gang has any fifth-rank experts?"
