Zhang Li soon arrived in front of the towering building where the Cao family is located.
As expected, it is indeed the fourth largest family in Piaoxue City. The magnificence and style of its buildings are obviously far superior to other surrounding buildings, and the vastness of the area also makes Zhang Li secretly speechless.
On the half-arc top of the towering gate, the two characters "Cao Mansion" are particularly eye-catching. In front of the gate, there are two teams of palace guards, both of whom are above the sixth level of the Qi Control Realm.
Zhang Li had just walked about a hundred feet in front of the Cao Mansion, and two of the tall guards had already walked towards him quickly while making a 'No Advance' gesture.
"What's the matter with fellow Taoist?" one of the lean men asked coldly.
Zhang Li looked calm and indifferent and said slowly: "I am Cao Xiang's friend. I came here specifically to see her. I have something important to meet with. Can you tell me something?"
The lean man and the other man with protruding cheekbones looked at each other, with obvious surprise in their eyes. The cold look on the lean man's face softened slightly and he asked: "Is fellow Taoist from Li Xuecheng?"
Zhang Li didn't speak and nodded.
The man with protruding cheekbones immediately said: "Fellow Taoist, please wait a moment. We will inform the third lady right now."
Not long after, Zhang Li was invited into the Cao Mansion. Under the leadership of the man with protruding cheekbones, Zhang Li came to a unique small courtyard. In the courtyard, there were not only pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, but also a small medicinal field.
Zhang Li was shocked when he saw this medicinal field clearly: "￥%# Fifth grade medicinal field"
This was the first time that Zhang Li saw the fifth-grade medicinal field. He was so surprised that he unconsciously walked to the medicinal field and took a strong sniff of the spiritual energy of the medicinal herbs in the medicinal field.
Just as he was about to reach out and touch the spiritual grass inside which he had never seen before, a loud shout suddenly came: "Stop, are you allowed to touch this?"
Zhang Li couldn't help but was startled. He turned around and saw that it was a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old. He smiled and Zhang Li didn't care about her and continued to stroke his hand on a spiritual grass.
The little girl turned pale with fright. She ran up to Zhang Li and pointed at him. She was so angry that she didn't even know what to say because the little girl had never seen anyone as bold as Zhang Li.
At this moment, a familiar and joyful voice soon came out from inside: "Junior Brother Zhang Li, you are here."
As the words fell, Senior Sister Qin Xiang, whom Zhang Li was familiar with, slowly walked out of the house.
The little girl immediately said to Qin Xiang: "Miss, this person is so bold. He dares to touch the fifth-grade spiritual grass."
Qin Xiang waved her hand and said with a smile: "Go and do your work. He is my junior brother and a master of growing medicinal herbs."
"Uh." After hearing Qin Xiang's words, the little girl couldn't help but stick out her tongue, make a face and run away quickly.
Zhang Li was introduced into the room by Qin Xiang, and after sitting down, he immediately asked: "Sister, where is the old pig?"
Qin Xiang's face suddenly darkened and she was speechless for a long time.
"Sister, what happened?" Zhang Li felt something was wrong.
"Dark Moon, he is missing"
"What's missing? What's going on?" Zhang Li couldn't help but stood up from his seat.
Qin Xiang had a sad look on her face and said slowly: "Junior brother, listen to me. After Zhu Anyue came back here with me, my parents firmly opposed our being together. Then one night, Anyue suddenly went crazy. The roaring continued, and finally disappeared. I remember that night, the moonlight in Piaoxue City was very dazzling, and it was brighter than ever before."
After listening to Qin Xiang's words, Zhang Li was thoughtful. He suddenly remembered that bright moonlit night at Wanglong Inn. The original form of Pig Dark Moon was a pig. It was bloody and violent. Its combat power was also extremely high. Could it be because of the moonlight?
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Li asked: "Sister, have you looked for him?"
Qin Xiang nodded: "I have looked for him, but there is no trace of him in the entire Piaoxue City. I sent him a message slip, but it was like nothing happened."
Zhang Li looked at Qin Xiang's sad look and couldn't help but frown. He took a deep breath and said, "Sister, don't worry too much. I will find him. By the way, what happened to your family? Is there anything I can do to help?"
Qin Xiang shook his head and said: "Junior brother, I appreciate your kindness, but this matter is so big that even I can't do anything about it."
"What's the matter? You might as well talk about it first."
Qin Xiang said: "Our Cao family was originally just a small family in Piaoxue City. Later, after years of hard work and accumulation, we finally managed to become the fourth largest family. But now, the three major families that have always been dominant in Piaoxue City have asked me Cao Cao at the same time. The family has sent an invitation, asking me, the Cao family, to be their ally to jointly fight against the other two major families."
After hearing this, Zhang Li said: "The Cao family is in conflict now. I'm afraid that once I agree to one of the families, the other two families will temporarily join forces to threaten the Cao family, right?"
Qin Xiang couldn't help but look at Zhang Li meaningfully. Suddenly she realized that her junior brother had grown into a real adult. She said, "Yes. If you agree to one of them, you will be excluded and attacked by the other two. But if you don't I agreed and offended three major families at the same time. In the end, the end may be even worse."
This is indeed a dilemma. Regardless of the choice, the Cao family faces huge dangers.
When Zhang Lichu arrived, he was unable to provide any substantial help. Fortunately, the three major families gave the Cao family a relatively long period of consideration. The Cao family will not have any big troubles for the time being.
Zhang Li comforted Qin Xiang and soon left Cao Mansion.
Walking on the street with falling snow particles, Zhang Li couldn't help but mutter to himself: "This kid Mu Yin is still hiding his secrets." Through Qin Xiang's investigation back to Piaoxue City, he found that Mu Yin turned out to be the largest sect in Piaoxue City. The eldest disciple of Yanyu Tower, it is obvious that Mu Yin still hid his cultivation in Li Xuecheng.
Yanyu Tower, the largest sect in the Piaoxue Secret Realm, is slightly weaker than the three major families of Sima, Zisang and Hua in terms of strength, but it is higher than the three major families in terms of reputation and has an extraordinary status in the Piaoxue Secret Realm.
As far as Qin Xiang knows, the reason why Mu Yin quietly returned to Piaoxue City is because Yanyu Tower encountered the same problem as the Cao family. As the first disciple of Yanyu Tower, Mu Yin was naturally recalled by the sect from outside.
The Yanyu Tower is more majestic and grand than the Cao Family. Although it covers a similar area, the number of disciples and buildings is obviously much more than that of the Cao Family.
Zhang Li stood in front of the gate of Yanyu Tower and couldn't help but sighed. He had just arrived in Piaoxue City. It was almost like a "several-day trip"
The disciples of the sect were naturally somewhat arrogant. Seeing Zhang Li's arrival, one of the disciples couldn't help but asked coldly with a touch of arrogance and disdain: "What do you want? Can I make an appointment?"
Zhang Li was startled when he heard this: "Uh, make an appointment #￥%"
"I don't have an appointment. I'm here to see Mu Yin," Zhang Li said calmly.
"If you don't have an appointment, then go away and don't get in the way here." After the disciple said that, he immediately turned around impatiently and prepared to continue standing on his post.
bang
There was a sudden loud noise, and the disciple was knocked down to the ground by Zhang Li with a stick. Then Zhang Li walked directly towards the Yanyu Tower without any hesitation.
At this time, the disciples who were guarding in front of the gate realized what they were doing and immediately rushed towards Zhang Li one by one with angry expressions on their faces.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang. There was a series of loud noises. All these disciples were knocked to the ground by Zhang Li.
"How dare you provoke me, Yanyulou? I think you don't want to live anymore." One of the disciples got up with difficulty and just finished saying this, he was hit by Zhang Li with a stick and fell down.
The reason why Zhang Li is so "unscrupulous" is because he thinks that since Mu Yin is the disciple of Yanyu Tower, he naturally has great power. If he teaches a few guards who are not long-sighted, it will not rise to the level of being disrespectful to Yanyu Tower. Mu Yin will definitely be able to deal with it. Bar
Zhang Li simply broke into Yanyu Tower by force.
But soon, Zhang Li's pressure came because he suddenly discovered that there was a Qi Dan realm practitioner running towards him quickly.
The sect is so awesome. Before entering the interior of that sect, practitioners from the Qi Dan realm came to stop them.
Zhang Li knew that he couldn't act randomly anymore, so he immediately clasped his fists and said: "Fellow Taoist, I just came to see Mu Yin, and I am not someone who intends to cause trouble."
This cultivator at the first level of Qi Dan Realm is an old man with small eyes. Hearing Zhang Li’s words, he couldn’t help but rolled his eyes and said, “What is your relationship with my senior brother Mu?”
"What, Muyin is your senior brother?" When Zhang Li heard this, he couldn't help but look stunned, and then thought to himself: "#·￥ah, this kid really pretends to be deep enough."
The old man with small eyes couldn't help stroking his beard and said: "Quickly tell me, what is your relationship with Senior Brother Mu?"
"friend "
"Is there any proof?"
"No "
"..."
The old man was a little surprised. Surprised that Zhang Li simply looked at Zhang Li carefully again. The old man said: "Wait." After saying that, he immediately took out a jade slip and crushed it into pieces.
After waiting for half a cup of tea, Mu Yin walked out from the depths of Yanyu Tower without any hurry.
"Zhang Li." Mu Yin didn't expect it to be Zhang Li at all. He couldn't help but froze there for a moment. Zhang Li was wearing a "ghost hiding clothes", so almost no one could sense his aura and cultivation.
"Muke, you've hidden it deep enough. It's not interesting enough," Zhang Li said seriously.
Mu Yin was a little embarrassed, but he soon smiled and said to the old man: "Junior Brother Wen, his name is Zhang Li, he is my good friend and good brother, and when he comes again in the future, he can come and go freely. Did you hear that?"
The old man with small eyes immediately nodded respectfully. At this time, the guards who recovered and walked in awkwardly with lame legs immediately started to howl as soon as they saw Mu Yin, begging Senior Brother to give them the decision.
"Okay, I'll make the decision for you. Junior Brother Wen will deduct ten Qi Gathering Pills from each of these guys this month." As soon as Mu Yin finished speaking, the guards suddenly looked depressed and confused.
Mu Yin ignored them and quickly walked up to Zhang Li, gave Zhang Li a firm hug, and then led Zhang Li into the Yanyu Building.
…
"Oh, Zhu Anyue is at the Soul-Broken Peak outside the city. Then why don't you bring him back to the Cao family?" Zhang Li said, putting down the wine glass in his hand.
"It's hard to explain. Go and see him yourself. I won't accompany you. Now Yanyulou is also encountering a big problem. My master asked me to find a solution. Oh, I have a headache." Mu Yin took a deep sip of wine and said with some depression.
"It's natural that the boat will arrive at the bridge. Don't be too anxious. I'm going to see the old pig now. I'll help you think of a solution when I get back," Zhang Li said.
Mu Yin nodded, but he didn't take Zhang Li's words seriously. He only thought that Zhang Li was trying to comfort him. He thought that Zhang Li's strength would not make any difference at all.
Zhang Li left the Yanyu Tower, quickly found the nearest city gate, and went straight out of the city towards the Soul-Broken Peak.
