A long knife was placed on Shu Guan's neck.
"Come in! Don't make a sound!"
The cold man holding the knife shouted coldly at Shu Guan.
So Shuguan didn't shout and walked into the box obediently.
This is the most normal reaction of a normal person in this situation.
Therefore, the cold man holding the knife was regarded as a normal person.
He pushed Shu Guan, then stood at the door of the box and locked the door to prevent other unsighted people from coming in and disturbing what they were about to do.
Shu Guan's eyes moved around the box.
In this box, which also faced the stage, there were ten people including myself at this time.
Du Wenqiang was there, so was Xiaojian, and there was also Du Wenqiang's bodyguard.
His prospective father-in-law, Rong Duanfu, was here, and there were two men beside him who looked like wealthy businessmen. They should be friends who came to the theater with Rong Duanfu.
Then there were the practitioners disguised as theater staff that Shu Guan had seen before going upstairs.
There are three practitioners in total.
In addition to the cold man guarding the door with a knife, there was also a big man with a fierce face and a little old man with a cunning face.
The three of them were all in the Qi-entraining stage. Among them, the little old man had the highest level of cultivation, which was about the level of Xiao Zhoutian's perfection.
In the world of practitioners, these three people are the lowest and weakest beings.
But to ordinary people, they are terrifyingly powerful monsters.
Even a master like Xiaojian, who was considered to be the pinnacle of personal martial arts in the mortal world, was locked against the wall by the strong man's throat.
It seemed that Xiaojian was ready to take action just now, but unfortunately he encountered an enemy that he could not resist.
As for the other little old man with a cunning face, he held two pistols in his hands. One pistol was pointed at Du Wen to force another bodyguard, and the other pistol was spinning flexibly in his palm.
When Shu Guan was pushed into the box, he saw such a scene.
Du Wenqiang's expression was very angry. He didn't seem to expect that someone would dare to cause trouble on his Du Wenqiang territory tonight. But when Xiaojian was pressed against the wall with one hand, he realized something, so his expression became more complicated. Some helplessness.
Until Shu Guan came in, his expression immediately returned to calm, and he even smiled.
With Mr. Shu here, there is no need to worry even if the sky falls, let alone these clowns.
The only thing that made Du Wenqiang a little confused was that after Mr. Shu came in, he stood there quietly after being pushed, without doing anything.
Shu Guan really did nothing.
His original intention was to teach these practitioners a lesson as soon as he came in, and then drive them out of the Guangming Theater.
As for what these low-level cultivators wanted to do, he was not interested in knowing. It was just to fulfill the request of the female ghost in blue.
But after entering, Shu Guan changed his mind when he found out that the person sitting in the room was Rong Duanfu.
Because the green-robed female ghost had just said that these practitioners were specifically here to deal with a very wealthy businessman.
Both his prospective father-in-law and Du Wenqiang are rich, but no one would use the word "rich businessman" to describe Du Wenqiang.
And looking at what these practitioners are doing, it is obvious that they are here for Rong Duanfu.
Since it was about his prospective father-in-law, Shu Guan was ready to see what they wanted to do, and then decide how to deal with these practitioners.
The little old man with a cunning face walked to the table with a smile, pulled out a chair, and sat across from Rong Duanfu.
"Don't worry, we are here today just asking for money and have no intention of harming anyone's life."
The little old man smiled and said to Rong Duanfu:
"Of course, if you, Mr. Rong, are not willing to cooperate, we are not vegetarians and will kill people when we should."
Rong Duanfu's expression was a little nervous and a little panicked, but he could still maintain a certain degree of calmness.
When Shu Guan came in just now, Rong Duanfu glanced at the young man and seemed a little confused, but he quickly attracted the attention of the little old man who came to him with a gun.
And when he heard the little old man say that they were just asking for money, he seemed to be slightly relieved.
"How much do you want!"
Rong Duanfu asked immediately.
"A few of us came to Shanghai for the first time and wanted to make a little fortune here. I heard that Mr. Rong is the richest man in Shanghai. It's no problem to come and get 30 million silver dollars!"
The smile on the little old man's face became happier and happier.
"This is impossible!"
The next moment, Rong Duanfu blurted out.
"I can't afford that much money!"
Rong Duanfu didn't lie. He was not a person who wanted money at the expense of his life. The Rong family was a top-notch business tycoon in Dahua. Thirty million silver dollars was not a big figure for their family's assets.
But the problem is that the kidnappers in front of them definitely want cash. It is quite difficult for the Rong family to come up with 30 million cash at once. Not only does it take time to raise, but also certain assets must be sold.
It is absolutely impossible for him to directly spend 30 million silver dollars now.
Let's put it this way, Rong Duanfu couldn't do it if he wanted to come up with 30 million silver dollars at once, not even the Shenzhen City Government could do it.
"I have five million silver dollars in my bank account now. How about I write a check to you directly, as long as you don't hurt anyone here."
Then Rong Duanfu spoke to the little old man in a negotiating tone.
"Five million silver dollars? Are you sending beggars away?"
A strange cry came from the little old man's mouth.
Shu Guan, who was standing by the wall at this time, quite agreed with what he said.
Eight million silver dollars can only be used to buy four or five high-level magical artifacts of relatively good quality at the Secret Order's trade fair, or one or two magic weapons, Taoist secret books, and the like.
In the eyes of practitioners, five million silver dollars is really not very attractive.
"But I really can't afford that much money now!"
Rong Duanfu said with a livid face.
"You don't need to take it out now. I will give you an address and let you go home. As long as you send the money to that place within the next ten days."
The little old man said calmly.
"Let me go back?"
Rong Duanfu looked at the kidnapper in front of him with disbelief.
And such a stupid kidnapper?
If you let me go back, I will report it to the police directly. Will you still pay you obediently?
"Haha, Mr. Rong may not know who we are, but you don't need to know, as long as you obediently send us the money after you go back."
The little old man smiled proudly, one of the pistols, and then began to make Tao Jue.
There was a sigh in the room.
The one who sighed was naturally Shu Guan, because he had to take action. Who knew what kind of magic this little old man would use on his prospective father-in-law?
If anything goes wrong with Rong Duanfu, he won't be able to explain it to Rong Miao.
Shu Guan took action.
Of course, it is an extremely simple matter to deal with several practitioners in the Qi-entraining stage. In fact, Shu Guanlai did not even move his hands.
When Shu Guan sighed, the man with a cold temperament standing behind him immediately shouted sharply.
"What's the name?"
Shu Guan turned around and said coldly:
"Can't I even sigh? Huh?"
Following Shu Guan's dissatisfied "hmm", the cold man fell to the ground like a puddle of mud, his body twitching like an epilepsy.
Shu Guan had actually controlled the power of Tianyin's Demon Subduing Technique to a minimum, but the strength of this cold man was indeed too low.
As for the other two practitioners, they have naturally fallen.
The strong man holding Xiaojian's throat rolled his eyes strangely, lay back on the ground and began to foam at the mouth.
The little old man had just finished squeezing halfway, but he swayed like a drunk person and slipped under the table.
There was silence in the room.
Then Du Wenqiang burst out laughing.
"Mr. Du knows that as long as Mr. Shu is here today, nothing will happen to everyone. These red guys are really ignorant."
At this time, Rong Duanfu, who was still in shock, looked at Shu Guanfu again. The doubtful and uncertain look appeared in his eyes again. When he heard Du Wenqiang calling the young man "Mr. Shu", Rong Duanfu's body He was suddenly shocked, and the look of surprise in his eyes became even stronger.
Shu Guan waved his hand towards Du Wenqiang, signaling him to stop talking. Then Shu Guan walked to the table, sat on the chair where the little old man was sitting, and reached out to pull the little old man out from under the table.
The little old man shrank down like a rice dumpling, trembling all over, and looked at Shu Guan with extremely frightened eyes.
But the reason for his trembling was different from that of the cold man. It was purely out of fear.
"What is your name?"
Shu Guan took his arm and asked lightly.
"Liu Dayuan."
"Where did it come from?"
These people are definitely not local practitioners in Shencheng. They themselves said just now that they have just come to Shencheng.
If a practitioner in Shen City asked for money, he would not attack a mortal like his prospective father-in-law who is very influential in Shen City so simply and crudely.
If it were possible to plunder in this way, the wealthy people in Shencheng would have been robbed by local practitioners long ago.
Generally speaking, the Shencheng cultivation world is still very strict about rules, and these rules were already agreed upon by everyone even before the arrival of the Seven Immortals Alliance.
"Iwaju."
The little old man replied tremblingly.
Shu Dian nodded. It was a small place at the junction of Jiangzhou and Minzhou. These practitioners really looked like they had never seen the world.
"Why are you looking for him?"
Shu Guan pointed at Rong Duanfu and asked again.
This was the issue he was most concerned about. He wanted to know whether these people came to Rong Duanfu to extort money by themselves or whether they were instigated by someone behind the scenes.
"After we came to Shencheng, we wanted to get some money to spend, and then we asked around and found out that the richest people in the city are the Rong family..."
Then the little old man began to tell the story honestly. Although the little old man had never seen much of the world, he was not stupid. He knew how powerful and terrifying the young man in front of him was, and he explained everything at once.
They were indeed not instigated by anyone. These cultivators came to Shencheng from Yanzhou with the purpose of making a fortune.
In fact, they have always done things like tonight in their hometown.
It's just that in their hometown, the three of them are like real overlords. No one can stop them from doing anything. It's just that there are only some rich people in their hometown, and they can't extract much money no matter how much they blackmail them. .
Then they heard that in Shencheng, the richest city in Dahua, there were many rich people all over the streets, and they could pick up money casually, so they decided to come here to make a fortune.
So a few young practitioners from the countryside rushed into the colorful world of Shencheng. They didn't know how high the sky was and how deep the sea was here. They thought they could still live in a world like their hometown, but it was just a big place. There are a bit more rich people, but these rich people are money bags that their practitioners can take whatever they want.
So they casually asked who the richest person here was and started taking action.
After all, they are cultivators, and they are still capable of grasping Rong Duanfu's whereabouts. They feel that tonight is a good opportunity.
I heard that many rich people in Shanghai will come here today. If they are quick enough, they might be able to blackmail a few more rich people.
Unexpectedly, the first time they made a move after coming to Shanghai, they encountered such a terrifying young man and was captured by him.
Are there so many practitioners in Shanghai?
Otherwise, you can meet someone so casually?
While the little old man was telling the story, this question kept lingering in his heart.
He finally finished speaking, and then looked at Shu Guan uneasily.
Shu Guan stared at the little old man for a while, confirming that he was not lying.
It seemed that today was indeed an accidental incident, and that no one was specifically targeting Rong Duanfu.
Then Shu Guan asked the little old man one last question.
"What magic were you going to use on him just now?"
Shu Guan was really curious. The little old man had just confidently claimed that even if he let Rong Duanfu go home, Rong Duanfu would obediently give him the money.
"It's a magical spell that the little old man has practiced. People who have been hit by this spell are like being possessed by a demon. Even if they die, they have to complete what the little old man tells him to do. However, it is generally only useful to mortals."
The little old man said quickly.
Shu Guan raised his eyebrows, this was quite a special Taoist technique.
"Read the cultivation instructions to me."
Then he said this calmly.
The little old man's body suddenly shook and he looked at him hesitantly.
Shu Guan glanced at him coldly.
This sight made the little old man's heart suddenly tighten, and he felt like he couldn't breathe. It was a suffocating fear.
The little old man was a very knowledgeable person, and he immediately began to recite his own magic spell without saying a word.
After finishing reading, the little old man looked at Shu Guan pitifully with a pleading look.
Shu Guan smiled and said:
"Using what you just said, don't worry, I won't kill you."
The little old man immediately burst into tears of gratitude.
But Shu Guan said something next.
"But necessary punishment is inevitable."
As he spoke, Shu Guan's hand holding the little old man's arm felt a majestic and intense spiritual power rushing into the little old man's body like a flood.
The meridians in the little old man's body were instantly torn and shattered like catkins blown by a strong wind.
The little old man let out a scream and fainted.
Then Shu Guan stood up and did the same to the other strong man and the cold man.
Shu Guan directly abolished the cultivation of these three Qi-entraining period practitioners.
Naturally, these three guys are not good people. They have caused countless deaths in their hometown. If they were just let go, they might go to harm others again.
But today, after all, they didn't really hurt Rong Duanfu, so Shu Guan didn't want anyone's life.
Moreover, if these three guys were allowed to act like this in Shanghai, Shu Guan could guarantee that these cultivators from the countryside would not survive more than three days.
To put it this way, he was actually quite merciful and helped them save their lives.
Just think of it as a reward for repaying the little old man's magical skills.
Then Shu Guan turned around and confessed to Du Wenqiang:
"Send these three people to the train station and buy them tickets. It doesn't matter where they go."
Du Wenqiang immediately nodded in agreement, and then asked Xiaojian and the other bodyguard to drag the three unconscious people out of the box.
Shu Guan had already returned to the table, sitting in his previous seat, looking at Rong Duanfu with a smile.
