Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World-Chapter 78: The Declining Li Family

"I have a house in the outer city of Yunze City."

"There’s an underground basement just right inside."

"Currently, the government is investigating Brother Yang."

"I want Brother Yang to move to that house."

"That way, even if the government is very powerful, it is impossible to find Brother Yang."

Li Haoran said straightforwardly.

In fact, that house itself is one of the Li Family’s properties in Yunze City.

The basement was built by the Li Family over many years.

The purpose of it is precisely to seek refuge in critical times.

And now it could be used to hide Yang Qin’s whereabouts and avoid government pursuit.

After all, he certainly didn’t want Yang Qin to be exposed.

Otherwise, it would definitely implicate himself, as their interests were inherently intertwined.

"How thoughtful."

"Once the Red Eyebrow Army breaks through Yunze City, you will certainly gain great credit."

"By then, I will introduce you to the leader, inevitably allowing you to become a general of the Red Eyebrow Army and lead a force."

Hearing this, Yang Qin nodded in satisfaction.

He originally didn’t want to continue staying in this place.

After all, he didn’t know whether his trusted subordinates were dead or alive; if caught by the enemy and tortured, they might expose his current location.

So he had long favored moving to another hiding place and didn’t want to stay here anymore.

"Then thank you, Brother Yang."

"I’ll take you over there right away."

Li Haoran was very satisfied; he had done all this just to hear such words from the other party.

Because once Yunze City was breached, he would inevitably need to join the Red Eyebrow Army.

If he could become a general of the Red Eyebrow Army, he would naturally gain immense power.

By then, his status in the Red Eyebrow Army would undoubtedly be significant.

It’s known that he was not the kind to willingly submit to others.

Even if he really needed to join the Bandit Army, he required control, or else why should he join?

Before long, the Bat King Yang Qin swiftly transferred his hiding location under Li Haoran’s arrangement, arriving at a Li Family courtyard and hiding in the basement.

After finishing all this, Elder Li Lei, who was once the Gang Leader of the Dragon King Gang and a Bone Forger Realm Martial Artist, also appeared beside Li Haoran, his face very solemn.

"Patriarch, this Bat King Yang Qin is not a good person."

"Cooperating with such people is like seeking skin from a tiger."

Li Lei said very worriedly.

He always felt that cooperating with the Red Eyebrow Army was not a good thing.

With a little carelessness, the Li Family could be completely doomed, then they would die with no burial place.

"Hehe, which force to cooperate with isn’t like seeking skin from a tiger."

"I would like to cooperate with those noble families of Yunze City, but they look down on our Li Family."

"They think our Li Family is just a down-and-out landlord."

"They only want us to be dogs, not to cooperate with us."

"To force us to be dogs, even my father Li Shi’an died at their hands."

Li Haoran snorted coldly, feeling immensely angry.

In the past, when staying in Tonghe County, the Li Family was the local hegemon, often wielding power and oppressing fishermen.

Always in the position of the superior.

But since being forced to come to Yunze City, they were forced to be dogs.

Even the patriarch of the Li Family was killed, treated as the chicken to terrify the monkeys.

This also made him feel unprecedented humiliation.

Made him extremely angry, swearing to make these noble families of Yunze City pay the price.

Let these fellows know that the Li Family’s anger is not easy to provoke.

"You’re right; cooperating with anyone is like seeking skin from a tiger."

Li Lei sighed; he also knew the current predicament of the Li Family; compared to those old families, the Li Family was still too weak. Since the fall of Ancestor Li Chengying, the Li Family has not produced any Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Therefore, the power of the Li Family was becoming increasingly weak.

He originally thought that after spending so many years, they could finally retrieve the ancestor’s legacy.

Who could have thought, it was taken by someone else?

Even now, they cannot ascertain exactly who seized the ancestor’s legacy, causing their efforts to fail at the last moment.

Undoubtedly, that petty thief is currently the most hated person by the Li Family.

Lu Family is only ranked second.

If they had obtained the ancestor’s legacy, perhaps Li Haoran would have become a Martial Arts Grandmaster long ago.

And wouldn’t be subjected to such humiliation today, bullied.

"Uncle Lei, don’t worry; I will be extremely cautious."

"Actually, I’m just using this Bat King Yang Qin."

"Now that Grandmaster Mu Da is dead, and Lu Yan, a direct descendant of the Lu Family, is also dead, the Lu Family is a complete mess."

"Undoubtedly, I will seize the opportunity to control the whole Money Gang."

"By then, I will definitely give the Lu Family a bitter taste, letting them know my prowess."

Li Haoran indeed thought this was a great opportunity to control the Money Gang.

If it weren’t for such a chaotic moment, how could he grasp such an opportunity?

The so-called wealth is sought amid the peril, and now is precisely that moment.

"It’s good if you’re confident."

Hearing this, Elder Li Lei felt very satisfied; if they could indeed successfully control the Money Gang, then the Li Family could turn the tables and become the overlord of Yunze City.

At that time, they could continue to wield power in Yunze City, fish and flesh the common people, enjoy endless prosperity, ensuring the Li Family wouldn’t decline for a thousand years.

......

Three days later.

Despite the government’s carpet-search, they still couldn’t find any trace of the Bat King Yang Qin; hence, the actions of Yunze City constables became somewhat restrained, without the previous fanfare.

After all, Yunze City’s manpower was limited; it wasn’t possible to search constantly for Yang Qin’s whereabouts.

Of course, secretly, they still deployed personnel, continuously trying to locate Yang Qin.

They believed the Bat King Yang Qin couldn’t have left Yunze City, and must be hiding somewhere within the city.

Unfortunately, Yunze City was indeed too large.

Finding someone deliberately hiding in Yunze City was unquestionably like finding a needle in the haystack.

"The situation is becoming increasingly chaotic."

"Prices within the city also seem to be becoming unstable."

"Perhaps it’s also necessary to continue purchasing and storing grain."

"Otherwise, if real chaos breaks out, it might not be possible to buy grain."

Jiang Fan had already noticed the undercurrents flowing within Yunze City.

Don’t be fooled by the current appearance as if nothing is happening in Yunze City; it’s merely the calm before the storm.

Once the Red Eyebrow Army attacks, Yunze City will certainly face big issues.

Not to mention encountering the uprising of disorderly people.

The foremost issue is the food problem, which will be a significant concern for countless ordinary people.

Indeed, he had previously stored a year or two worth of food in the Space Ring.

The problem was that after advancing to the Refining Organ Realm, his appetite increased significantly. freewebnøvel_com

The rate of food consumption accelerated.

If this continues, it won’t take long before the stored food is completely consumed.

So he felt it necessary to continue buying grain to prepare for the upcoming turmoil.

This could be considered a precaution.
