Chapter 1077: Netherworld Hall’s Arrangement
The Acquired Emperor Realm expert, with a pale face, asked tremblingly, "I’ve already told you everything, why are you still hitting me?"
"You did speak, but what you said wasn’t the truth!" Qiqi scolded coldly.
The Acquired Emperor Realm expert felt a pang in his heart. Could it be that this terrifying little girl possesses mind-reading skills, capable of guessing my thoughts?
He pursed his lips, "The real plan, I really don’t know!"
Crack!
Just as his voice fell, Qiqi’s jade hand forcefully twisted, and the Acquired Emperor Realm expert’s wrist was directly snapped by him.
Sweat and tears fell from his face like rain, and he bit his teeth in extreme pain, "I’ll talk... I’ll talk!"
Qiqi completely released his already broken wrist and stepped on him with one foot: "Don’t play any tricks, or next time, it will be your neck that breaks!"
At this moment, where would the Acquired Emperor Realm expert dare to say anything more? He lay on the ground and slowly said, "I truly don’t know the big plan of the Netherworld Hall, but I do know part of the plan against the Star Sea."
Liu Zixuan snorted coldly, "Then stop babbling!"
"Fine!"
The Acquired Emperor Realm expert nodded and said, "The martial artists from the Netherworld Hall who came to the Star Sea are divided into two batches. The first batch includes martial artists from abroad who belong to sect family affiliations of the Netherworld Hall, but the strongest is only an Innate Emperor Realm expert of the First Heaven."
"How many?" Liu Zixuan asked in a deep voice.
"I’ve seen three," the Acquired Emperor Realm expert thought for a moment and said.
Three Innate Emperor Realm experts, regardless of which heaven they’re in, shouldn’t pose too much threat to the top sect families of the Star Sea Martial Realm. If Venerable Ghost Nether counts as one, then there are just two left now.
Immediately, Liu Zixuan coldly said, "Continue!"
"These people are all placed around the major Hidden Sects, and of course, also near the Jiang Family and Lingxiu Village. But they are only watching your every move and will not take initiative to attack."
Listening to his words, Liu Zixuan raised his eyebrow, "So sure they won’t attack?"
The Acquired Emperor Realm expert let out a bitter laugh: "Don’t laugh at us, those sent by the Netherworld Hall are all people who belong to others without much standing, and those sent to the Star Sea are just the most basic members of the Netherworld Hall. Take us for instance, how could we pose any significant threat to the Hidden Sects, Hidden families, or the Jiang Family?"
Liu Zixuan touched his chin; what he said made some sense.
"What about the other batch?"
"They are from the Business World. I don’t know exactly who, or how many, but I once heard from my superiors that their ultimate goal seems to be to gather an astronomical amount of money in the Star Sea and then send it to the Netherworld Hall."
It seems Jiang Yifan was right in his earlier speculation; the Netherworld Hall isn’t just eyeing the Martial Realm.
Liu Zixuan asked, "Just looting money, not planning to stay permanently?"
"No, the people from the Netherworld Hall are very arrogant. They said that after the great battle in Yudu, they will become the most powerful existence in this world, and then they won’t need to deliberately make money; they can have as much as they want."
The Acquired Emperor Realm expert paused and then said, "The reason they are sending people now is firstly to support so many martial artists, and secondly because they’ve gotten intelligence that many top wealthy merchants in the Star Sea have some connections with those Hidden Sects and families. Doing this also serves to certain extent to strike at the Netherworld Hall’s opponents!"
"Is there anything else?" Gu Yu asked in a deep voice from the side.
"No... nothing else!" the Acquired Emperor Realm expert mumbled.
Smack!
Gu Yu picked up a nearby wine bottle and smashed it directly on his head: "Facing death, and still trying to muddle through?"
"There really isn’t anything else!" The Acquired Emperor Realm expert thought for a moment with his head down, then looked up and said.
Liu Zixuan turned and asked, "Have you received any other intel on your side?"
"There’s been unusual activity from the Dragon Spirit recently. I suspect it may also be related to the Netherworld Hall," Gu Yu said in a low voice.
Looking at this Acquired Emperor Realm fellow, he didn’t seem to be lying anymore, so Liu Zixuan waved his hand: "We will discuss this later."
With that, he stood up.
"Can we live then? We’ve confessed everything we know; you said you wouldn’t kill me earlier!" The Acquired Emperor Realm expert asked, barely managing to prop himself up.
Liu Zixuan gave a mocking smile and shot a glance at Qiqi.
Though Qiqi appeared to be a five or six-year-old girl, she understood things that even Liu Zixuan couldn’t compare to. She immediately grasped the intention, and with a raise of her hand, the martial artists behind him and he were sent to the other side together.
Liu Zixuan glanced at those lying on the ground: "I only said I wouldn’t kill, not that Qiqi wouldn’t kill!"
With those words, Liu Zixuan lifted the familiar corner of his mouth into a smile, and with his hands in his pockets, he walked out.
When he reached the door, several Thief Sect disciples were waiting. Gu Yu said, "Clean this place up."
"Yes!"
Everyone started their tasks, while Liu Zixuan and the others left the villa area.
Before getting into the car, Liu Zixuan inadvertently glanced at the last remaining well-renovated villa. Just as he looked over, a figure at the window vanished in an instant, causing Liu Zixuan’s brows to furrow.
"Zixuan, what’s wrong?" Gu Yu asked.
Liu Zixuan shook his head: "Keep an eye on that villa."
"I just said, it’s a friend of the developer’s, it shouldn’t be anything," Gu Yu said, frowning.
Liu Zixuan sat in the driver’s seat, "I can’t say, just feel something is odd."
"Certainly odd," Qiqi smiled, pursing her lips. "These two villas aren’t far apart, and both have simple renovations. With such a commotion earlier, it should have disturbed the neighbors, yet they showed no reaction."
"Perhaps they were scared to come out because they knew there was a fight!" Gu Yu didn’t think it was anything special.
Liu Zixuan didn’t ask any more questions and drove straight to Lingxiu Village.
Twenty minutes later, Lingxiu Village.
"What were you going to tell me earlier?" Liu Zixuan asked after entering the manor.
"Wait a moment, let Ruyan talk to you about it. I’ll tell you about the Dragon Spirit later." Gu Yu said, walking to the door and calling for Liu Ruyan.
Not long after, Liu Ruyan and the beautiful master walked over together.
Looking at the two beautiful women, Liu Zixuan smiled and asked, "Filming a drama shouldn’t be so exhausting, right?"
"Filming dramas certainly isn’t too tiring, you wouldn’t know. These few days, Doudou and Tongtong seem to compete with each other every day, just like a harem competition in ancient times. It’s really headache-inducing."
Liu Ruyan said with a displeased look.
Liu Zixuan laughed heartily: "I’ll have a chat with them later. What did you two need to tell me?"
