Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 301 A Fateful Encounter in the City

"Hey, don't say that..."

Li Qingyuan quickly interrupted the old ox, fearing that he might say something even more offensive.

"It's alright, I'm used to it."

Tian Wang said calmly, "...I've always hoped to change her."

"You're just a simp!" the old ox muttered to himself.

However, this time he managed to keep his mouth shut and didn't say it.

Li Qingyuan felt somewhat helpless. Tian Wang was indeed a good person, but she never expected him to be such a devoted lover.

But everyone has their own aspirations, and some things are beyond the power of others' advice; one can only let nature take its course...

After chatting for a few more minutes, Tian Wang went to clean up the battlefield.

In this battle, in addition to the three people killed by Li Qingyuan and the old ox, seven or eight other cultivators were also eliminated.

Half an hour later, the battlefield was cleaned up.

At the same time, Lü Qing finished her persuasion and led a group of Blood Blade Mercenary Group members to Li Qingyuan.

......

Just now, Li Qingyuan witnessed this woman's ruthlessness firsthand—

She decisively killed several old foxes who refused to surrender!

After this battle, Lü Qing established absolute authority within the Blood Blade Mercenary Group!

Coupled with her existing prestige and current strength, she naturally became the new leader.

Li Qingyuan exchanged a few polite words with Lü Qing.

As for the cultivators who surrendered behind Lü Qing, Li Qingyuan didn't even glance at them.

A bunch of spineless people will never amount to anything!

The cultivators looked at Li Qingyuan and the old ox with fear in their eyes, and dared not even breathe loudly.

"Hey, who's this? Still alive?"

The old ox's loud voice suddenly rang out, as if he had discovered a new continent.

Following his gaze, one could see the instigator who had provoked the conflict between the two mercenary groups—

The "ugly man and fat woman" were standing in the crowd behind Lü Qing, timidly hiding at the very back.

Li Qingyuan smiled slightly and said:

"Those destined to meet will find each other even from a thousand miles away; the ancients were right."

------

“Chuckle…”

Yue Qinghuan smiled sweetly, "Those two have such sharp tongues!"

"Come on, everyone, stand up front!"

The old ox stretched out his hand and casually pointed as if shooing away chicks.

Seeing that the two did not move, he immediately shouted, "Get over here!"

Upon hearing this, the burly man and the woman turned deathly pale and dared not disobey any longer. Trembling, they moved to the old ox.

"Hey man, pull yourself together! Don't embarrass yourself!"

As the old ox spoke, he reached out and patted the big man's ugly face.

He then turned to the woman and patted her plump face.

"And you, just say what you have to say. Don't keep it bottled up inside, it's not good to suffer from it."

"S-Sir, please spare my life..."

The burly man's teeth chattered, and the fat woman was so frightened that she lost control of her bladder, filling the air with a foul, fishy smell.

"Damn, what bad luck!"

Seeing this, the old ox curled its lip, its face full of disgust.

As soon as he finished speaking, he twisted his hand, and two crisp "snap" sounds were heard.

The necks of the burly man and the woman were snapped instantly, and they fell straight down, lifeless.

Then, the old ox kicked the corpse ten feet away:

"Killing you two would be too dirty for me!"

------

"you......"

Upon seeing this, Lü Qing nearly jumped up. The Blood Blade Mercenary Group already only had about thirty members left, and now two more were missing...

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

The old ox looked down at Lü Qing from its high position, its eyes exuding an undeniable domineering aura!

"Hey bro, what's going on? We're all on the same side, don't do this..."

Just then, Tian Wang returned and quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Alright..."

Li Qingyuan said softly, while giving the old ox a look, signaling him to stop.

"Brother, I still don't know your name."

Tian Wang smiled broadly as he looked at the old ox.

"Yunxu," the old ox replied casually.

"Brother Yun, you're such a handsome and imposing man, don't bother arguing with this woman..."

Tian Wang quickly smiled and tried to ease the tension.

"Alright, Lao Tian, ​​I'll let it go for your sake. I like what you say."

The old ox laughed heartily, which was considered giving Tian Wang face.

Tian Wang smiled and nodded, then suggested, "Since things have come to this, shall we go into the city?"

Li Qingyuan agreed, "Alright, let's go to Tai'an City to rest first."

......

As dawn broke, more than eighty people entered Tai'an City in a grand procession.

Tai'an City was bustling with activity.

Although it was still early, the streets were already bustling with people.

The morning markets on both sides of the street have opened, and the sounds of vendors calling out their wares fill the air.

Li Qingyuan learned from Tian Wang that the city was a melting pot of all sorts of people:

There were cultivators from the Canglan Continent and people from the Central Plains, but the cultivators from the Canglan Continent made up the majority.

After entering the city, Yue Qinghuan pushed Hua Lao away from the others halfway through the journey.

She was heading to the Treasure Pavilion to make some arrangements.

Li Qingyuan kept this in mind, waiting to repay it in the future.

The group continued on their way.

Before long, Tian Wang led everyone to a house in the east of the city.

"Our lodgings are simple, Brother Li, please forgive us."

As far as the eye can see, the mottled courtyard walls are covered with green vines, and the more than twenty side rooms form a three-section courtyard. Although spacious, it appears dilapidated.

Although there are quite a few rooms, it's clearly not enough for a group of over eighty people...

------

Inside the main hall, Li Qingyuan sat around with Lao Huangniu, Tian Wang, and Lü Qing, chatting casually.

Tian Wang said with a slight apology:

"Brother Li, please don't take offense. We weren't well-off before, so this house was just what we had to make do with..."

Li Qingyuan smiled slightly and said:

"It's alright. I believe that Brother Tian will surely prosper in the future after going through this ordeal."

"Hehe, thank you for your kind words, Brother Li." Tian Wang smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

Li Qingyuan lightly tapped the tea table with her fingertips and asked, "What are Brother Tian's plans for the future?"

"this......"

Tian Wang pondered for a moment, then slowly said,

"We definitely need to take over Blood Blade's territory first, as well as the business of some of Blood Blade's old clients."

"As for the future, I haven't really thought about it carefully; I can only take it one step at a time..."
