At noon, Riyao City, Lan Family.
living room.
The atmosphere at this time was a bit heavy, and there was a hint of chilling in the air.
Bang!
At the head of the hall, a burly man wearing black iron armor and a full beard slammed the table and said with a livid face: "The Pique family is too bullying! I haven't troubled you yet for what you did to my daughter yesterday. , you came here first to ask me to hand over the crystalline iron veins? Ridiculous!"
He is the current head of the Lan family, Lan Qu, a mid-level fighting master with strength comparable to that of an intermediate magician.
"Haha...what happened yesterday was a misunderstanding. Brewer was so confused that he made such mistakes..."
The speaker was a young man in his mid-twenties, wearing a luxurious white robe with gold trim. He had deep features and a high nose, but his slightly narrowed eyes gave him a somewhat sinister look. .
He looked at the frustrated Lan Qu with amusement, and said with a frivolous smile: "As for the crystalline iron ore, Uncle Lan Qu was wrong. The crystalline ironite vein was signed by my grandfather and Mr. Lan Feng. The Lan family only has The ten-year mining rights have been overdue for five years, and the Peak family must get back the crystalline iron veins."
"Qieluo!" Blue veins popped up on Lan Qu's forehead, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't go too far!"
Crystal iron is a kind of different iron, and the quality of the weapons forged is much higher than ordinary iron. Therefore, the value of crystal iron is extremely high. Crystal iron ore is an important source of income for the Lan family.
The young man named Qie Luo shook his head and sighed: "Uncle Lan Qu, I am not going too far. Either the Lan family will hand over the crystal iron ore obediently today, or tomorrow, my Peak family will come to seize it in person. What we took... was not just crystalline iron ore."
"You!" Lan Qu's eyes widened and his face turned red with anger. This is no longer a negotiation, this is a threat! Lan Qu knew better that the so-called crystal iron ore was just an introduction. The real purpose of the Pique family was the Lan family's fighting qi technique!
In this God's Prayer Continent where the weak prey on the strong, fighting qi techniques or magic scrolls that can make people become stronger are very precious.
A hundred years ago, the Lan family was just an ordinary family struggling to make a living in Sun Yao City. However, with Lan Qu's father Lan Feng, he accidentally obtained a Dou Qi skill and successfully practiced it to the peak of Dou Shi, and then gradually grew stronger. The Lan family, after decades of development, has become one of the three major families in Yao City today.
As the Lan family gradually grew stronger, they had many conflicts with the established forces, the Peak family and the Gallie family. After all, there was only so much cake in a city, and whoever took more bites would get one less point from the other two families.
Later, the Lan family's strong position was based on Lan Feng's repeated battles with the two major families. Many of the industries that the Lan family currently controls were obtained from the two major families.
But now that Lan Feng has not returned for three years, it is very likely that the Great Dou Master failed to break through and died due to the backlash of Dou Qi. Without the threat, the Lan family has completely become a delicious piece of fat in the eyes of the two major families. .
"Actually, my nephew also understands the Lan family's difficulties, and he is not unkind..." Cheluo suddenly cast his gaze behind Lan Qu, on Lan Lan, who was wearing purple clothes. The tip of his nose was slightly twitching, and he looked intoxicated. A sickly rosy look appeared on his slightly pale face, "If Uncle Lan Qu is willing to marry Miss Lan Lan to me, then not only will my Pique family no longer ask for the crystalline iron veins, but we can even cooperate with the Lan family. What does Uncle Lanqu think of the two families sharing their needs?"
boom! !
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly raged out of the hall, and the fierce wind pressure instantly knocked Qie Luo out.
"Delusion!" Lan Lan's willow eyebrows stood up, a light cyan wind element flowed through her slender white fingertips, and her already sizable chest rose and fell slightly as she sneered.
"snort!"
A cold snort suddenly sounded, and the stone slabs on the floor of the hall suddenly broke open, and a thick vine emerged. The flexible vine danced like a snake, directly pulling Qieluo, who was about to hit the ground.
Lan Lan's beautiful eyes flashed slightly, and she looked solemnly at the skinny old man who appeared behind Cheluo.
"Okay! Okay! As expected of a student of Shengwu Academy, since you are so courageous, then I want to see if your Lan family can still keep the crystal iron mine!" Cheluo, who came down from the vine, said viciously, his His emotions were completely out of control, and his narrow eyes were filled with viciousness.
Hearing this, Lan Qu's eyes were full of humiliation. However, the Lan family, which had lost the protection of Lan Feng, was really unable to resist the encirclement of the two families. As early as a few months ago, he discovered the thoughts of the two families. So if he didn't attack the Lan family at that time, he was just still afraid of Lan Feng's remaining power.
Lan Lan pursed her lips slightly, and for a moment, she just felt endless despair.
"What nonsense is the Pique family? If they come, then we will fight."
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from outside the hall, like a thunderbolt, booming.
"Who is it?!" Cheluo turned around suddenly and stared at the door with cold eyes. The most important purpose of his coming to the Lan family today is to test whether there is a mysterious and powerful person in the Lan family to help!
The news brought back by Brewer yesterday shocked the top management of the Peak family. Could it be that there are other powerful people besides Lan Feng behind the Lan family?
This made the Pique family, who was preparing to destroy the Lan family in one fell swoop, suspicious. After a night of discussion, they asked Cheluo to test the Lan family on the grounds of crystalline iron veins.
The skinny old man behind Qie Luo had a solemn expression, and there were plants and vines crawling out from under his feet like poisonous snakes, which added to the weirdness.
Above the hall, Lan Lan's beautiful eyes were at a loss. She looked at Lan Qu and found that the latter was equally confused as herself.
"Could it be...the master who took action yesterday?!"
Lan Lan's heart was shaken and she looked out the door expectantly. If it was really the person from yesterday, then the Lan family really had hope to overcome this difficulty!
Da da!
Steady footsteps sounded, and each step seemed to step on everyone's hearts. Not long after, under the various eyes of everyone, a young man with a back as straight as a sword and a terrifying smell of blood walked in slowly.
The young man's face is a little childish, but his eyebrows are like swords, exuding a heroic spirit. His dark eyes are cold and deep, like the dark night in winter, which makes people feel heart palpitated. His blood-stained robes make him look like Jiuyou Shura. That seemingly real murderous aura is coming!
"You...who are you?" Cheluo was shocked. This was the first time he encountered such terrifying murderous intent.
The skinny old man was also shocked by the overwhelming murderous aura, but after feeling it carefully, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. His eyes focused, and a vine suddenly stabbed out from under his feet.
"How dare a useless person with magic and martial arts dare to pretend to be a ghost?"
Whoosh!
The vines tore through the air, causing a burst of sonic boom, and arrived in front of the young man in an instant, as if they could pierce the young man's body directly in the next moment!
"You're asking for trouble." Ye Yun suddenly smiled, but his smile was as cold as iron.
sulfuric acid!
A crisp sound of swords seemed to penetrate time and space, resounding in everyone's minds, and then, a bright sword light flashed past.
Click!
The vine was cut into two pieces, and the skinny old man's expression suddenly changed. The sword light came in an instant with endless sharpness, and he quickly dodged it with palpitations.
Although he could dodge, Qieluo couldn't dodge at all. The sharp sword light passed across his neck, and traces of blood spurted out, dyeing the ground red in an instant.
"Qieluo!!" The skinny old man was shocked. When he met the young man's cold eyes, he felt his heart become cold.
Such a hot person!
The skinny old man suppressed his anger, glanced at Lan Qu hatefully, bent down and picked up Cheluo's body, and walked slowly out of the hall: "I, the Pique family, will remember it!"
But before he stepped out of the hall, the young man's cold voice sounded again.
"Did I let you go?"
