Regarding his senior brother Shi Qi, Lan Zheng knew very well what he was thinking, so when he came to visit him this time, he was sure that he would definitely do it after hearing about the gold-swallowing beast.
He just said with a smile: "With Senior Brother Shi Qi taking action, this time I will be able to kill the ignorant boy and get the gold-swallowing beast. When the time comes, Senior Brother will personally dedicate it to Master. Senior Brother will definitely
You can please Master!"
His words were flattering and flattering. Although he felt a little reluctant, originally this was his chance, but now he knew that unless Senior Brother Shi Qi took action, it would not be so easy to grab the gold-swallowing beast again.
That being the case.
He laughed slightly in his heart, but on the surface he was looking up to him more and more.
"Junior brother, as long as I complete this matter, you will benefit from it when the time comes!"
Shi Qi was overjoyed and patted Lan Zheng on the shoulder, feeling very high-spirited.
He didn't think highly of his junior brother, the Sanxian. If the Lan family behind him hadn't still had some influence in Guanglan City, a mere Sanxian wouldn't be enough to call him a brother.
Even if two people are taught by the same person, their status and strength are very different even if they are brothers in the same discipline.
Lan Zheng is just a loose immortal, and it will take at least several decades to truly stabilize his realm and reach the first level of Earth Immortal! And he, Shi Qi, has long been a sixth-level Earth Immortal!
He is only waiting for an opportunity that will allow him to take a step further, and that is the high-ranking immortal boss!
In Guanglan City, the Celestial Immortal is definitely the top figure in the pyramid. No matter who sees him, he must be polite, including the city lord of Guanglan City, who is absolutely courteous to a Celestial Immortal.
Lan Zheng was overjoyed, raised his hands and said, "Thank you so much, senior brother! I wish you success in advance!"
"Easy to say, easy to say! Hahaha!"
Shi Qi was very proud, as if he saw his own bright future.
Lan Zheng was smiling on the outside, but actually his heart was bleeding.
But he didn't dare to do anything. Even if he knew the kind of person Shi Qi was, let alone eating meat together, he wouldn't even be able to take a sip of the soup. At most, he would be left with some scraps to kill the trouble.
"If it weren't for that little bastard, this opportunity would have belonged to me, Lan Zheng! He! Damn it!"
He was extremely resentful in his heart and did not dare to hate Shi Qi, so he transferred all his hatred to Li Ye.
Because in his opinion, if it weren't for Li Ye, he wouldn't have come to ask Shi Qi in person! He gave up such a good opportunity! But he had it in his own hands, so why would he have to grovel and be other people's business like he is now?
pawn.
Shi Qi didn't care at all what his junior brother was thinking. He sneered at this moment: "Tell me where this person is, and I will take action personally."
He is now a little eager to get the gold-swallowing beast.
Hearing this, Lan Zheng said quickly: "Just outside the city, Huwan Village!"
"Lake Bay Village?"
Shi Qi was a little surprised, but also frowned: "In a place like that, you can actually find a gold-swallowing beast?"
Lan Zheng nodded and said: "It's true, I saw it with my own eyes. Unfortunately, there is a person in Huwan Village who is also an immortal cultivator and is stronger than me. I didn't get any advantage in my fight with him, so I came to seek help from my senior brother!
"
What you say is 30% true and 70% false.
Lan Zheng did not tell Shi Qi that the gold-swallowing beast was the one where their master Lan Xizi Tianxian got lost, nor would he tell him that not only did he not get any advantage at that time, he was simply crushed by one side.
He even held a glimmer of hope in his heart: if Shi Qi and Li Ye could both be injured, and they died fighting at the same time, he would be able to get a ready advantage.
Although this possibility was unlikely, he still couldn't help but think of it.
Shi Qi's eyes full of meaning stayed on his junior brother for a few seconds. Despite his rough and arrogant appearance, he seemed to have no brains, but in fact he was smarter than anyone else!
From the moment his junior brother came to seek his help, he had already guessed everything.
When I heard this, I immediately sneered in my heart.
"Lan Zheng, Lan Zheng, if it weren't for the fact that your Lan family still has so much ability, I would have killed you with one blow today! I wanted to monopolize and please Master but to no avail, so I thought of coming to me! Humph!"
It's just that although he guessed the whole story in his heart, on the surface he was like a brother who treated his junior brother well. He laughed and patted Lan Zheng on the shoulder: "In that case, let's set off now!"
Both of them have their own little thoughts, and naturally they feel that the faster, the better.
If this kind of good thing is discovered by others, it may cause more twists and turns.
The two of them immediately left the city without anyone stopping them.
However, even as a sixth-grade earthly immortal like Shi Qi, he had to go out from the city gate honestly, so the two of them sat directly in the carriage at Shi Qi's house.
"strangeness."
Before leaving the city, Lan Zheng muttered in surprise.
Shi Qi closed his eyes to rest, then opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Senior brother, I just paid attention and seemed to detect the aura of the gold-swallowing beast."
"oh?"
They were on their way out of the city at this moment, but in such a short period of time, Lan Zheng subconsciously checked and found a slightly familiar scent.
This made him doubtful.
Shi Qi frowned: "Didn't you say that the gold-swallowing beast is still in Huwan Village outside the city?"
"Reporting to Senior Brother, Junior Brother was indeed there before he left, but..."
"explain!"
Shi Qi's eyes didn't look good, so he naturally didn't want to be teased and go all the way in vain.
Lan Zheng naturally knew the temperament of his senior brother, and quickly explained: "Before I left, I deliberately left a unique secret fragrance on that person! Only people in my Lan family can identify it, as long as it is within a hundred miles radius
, can trace each other’s traces.”
Shi Qi frowned, he had also heard about some of the Lan family's methods.
After all, the Lan family was once considered a big family in Guanglan City. Even though it is now in decline, there are some methods that are worthy of attention.
He just said that he had heard of this unique secret fragrance.
"Is it the kind of secret fragrance that your Lan family uses to track?"
"yes!"
Lan Zheng nodded, and then said: "Just now, I noticed that aura appeared in Guanglan City."
As soon as these words came out, Shi Qi's eyes suddenly flashed with light!
The next moment the carriage stopped directly, right at the city gate.
Immediately, several guards from Guanglan City came forward, but when they got closer, they saw the sign on the carriage, and they all looked moved.
"I have met Lord Shi Qi in my humble position."
The leader quickly bowed and saluted.
The status of a sixth-grade Earth Immortal in Guanglan City is not low, especially since Shi Qi is not an ordinary Sixth-grade Earth Immortal, so they will naturally recognize him.
"Master Shi Qi is leaving the city?"
Shi Qi had a cold face and did not answer. Lan Zheng on the side immediately asked: "Have any strange outsiders entered the city recently?"
Several guards looked at each other. Those who can enter Guanglan City are not ordinary people. Ordinary residents of Guanglan City will not leave the city casually. As for the people outside.
Hehe, to put it bluntly, only a handful of people have been able to enter the city in the past hundred years.
That is to say, occasionally there are a few lucky ones who are taken in as disciples by strong men who go out to do business in the city. But they all know that most of the so-called disciples are just a pretense. Those people think that they fly on the branches and become phoenixes, but in fact they are just being taken in.
Bring him back to be a slave.
There are very few who can truly follow the strong men to cultivate immortality, and there are also some good-looking women who become the concubines of those strong men.
The city gate guard said quickly: "There are no strangers."
He felt strange but did not dare to ask.
Shi Qi frowned, and Lan Zheng quickly asked: "You didn't pay attention, did you?"
These words made several guards a little unhappy, but when they saw Lan Zheng walking with Shi Qi, they knew they couldn't afford to offend them, so they could only answer patiently: "Don't worry, sir, even a fly will not come from us."
Pass right under your nose."
Lan Zheng still wanted to ask, but Shi Qi waved his hand: "Go to the place where you noticed the aura!"
His temper was always resolute and he didn't bother to ask so many questions.
Now that he had noticed the Lan family's unique secret scent in Guanglan City, he became even more anxious.
Lan Zheng thought about it and nodded.
"good!"
He also wanted to see if that person had entered Guanglan City.
But he had doubts in his heart: "It's strange. This person I met before is not from Guanglan City. His accent is a bit special. How did he enter Guanglan City so quickly?"
Guanglan City is protected by a formation, and no one can enter by force unless they are immortals.
Even if the immortals come, they may be able to break through the formation and break in, but they will definitely attract the attention of the Lord of Guanglan City immediately.
"It doesn't matter how he got in. As long as we find him and kill the gold-swallowing beast directly, that's what we have to do."
Shi Qi closed his eyes and snorted coldly.
Lan Zheng smiled and nodded in agreement.
Soon they arrived at the end of the field.
Just looking around, Lan Zheng looked a little confused, and even Shi Qi's eyes narrowed involuntarily.
"Are you sure that aura is around here?"
If he hadn't been convinced that Lan Zheng didn't dare to lie to him, and saw where he was, he would have killed Lan Zheng with one palm!
What is this place?
Shi Qi's expression was a little ugly. This is the area where the dignitaries of Guanglan City live! The people who can be here are all from the powerful side of Guanglan City, and some of them are even cautious when meeting him, Shi Qi!
Now Lan Zheng actually told him that the man with the gold-swallowing beast was near here?
Lan Zheng himself was dumbfounded.
He was stunned, then looked around blankly, and finally couldn't help but said: "According to our Lan family's unique tracking method, the other party is indeed nearby..."
Even he himself didn't think this was credible.
It's just that he really didn't lead the wrong way.
Shi Qi's eyes seemed to be filled with thunder, causing Lan Zheng to break out in cold sweat.
But he didn't take action. Instead, he closed his eyes, as if thinking and weighing.
"Senior brother, could it be that little bastard who dedicated the gold-swallowing beast to someone in Guanglan City?"
Lan Zheng asked in a lowered voice. After all, he had such an opportunity at his fingertips, so it was hard for him to give up like this.
Why couldn't he swallow it? Shi Qi was weighing the pros and cons in his mind at this time.
Just when he was hesitant.
"Senior brother! It's that boy!"
Suddenly Lan Zheng whispered, with a hint of surprise and hatred in his tone.
Shi Qi opened his eyes.
Sure enough, I saw several figures coming out of a mansion not far away.
But when he saw the mansion, he looked a little surprised.
"Fang Mansion?"
Shi Qi's eyes flickered, and Lan Zheng on the other side also exclaimed in a low voice: "How could he be in Fang Mansion?"
The Fang family is not an ordinary family in Guanglan City, and neither the Shi Qi nor the Lan family can compare with it. Of course, there are now rumors that the Fang family is not as good as before, and has begun to show signs of decline.
But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No one would be willing to put their thoughts on the Fang family before they were completely sure.
The person who came out of Fang Mansion was none other than Li Ye.
Among them, he noticed early in the morning that before Lan Zheng fled from Huwan Village, he secretly left a trace of strange things on his body. Fang Fu was like an invisible medicinal powder or poison.
At that moment, he subconsciously wanted to force the thing out, but then he realized that the thing just exuded a unique aura and had no other harm, and his heart moved.
Sure enough, after he left Fang Mansion, he saw a familiar figure.
"Brother Li?"
Fang Ziduo just felt strange why Li Ye suddenly appeared at the door of his house with a change of expression.
At this time, he saw two figures appearing in the distance. He was not stupid and immediately guessed something: "Brother Li just meant something, could it be these two people?"
His Fang Mansion had a great business in Guanglan City, and Fang Ziduo was a famous Xianmen disciple in Guanglan City, so he naturally recognized one of the two people, officially Shi Qi.
Sixth-grade Earth Immortal!
As for the other person, he didn't recognize him.
After all, the Lan family has been in decline for a long time. Even in its heyday, it could not be compared with the Fang family. He, Lan Zheng, was just an ordinary member of the Lan family. If he had not become a disciple of Lan Xizi, who would care about a small immortal?
Before Li Ye could answer, Shi Qi had already stepped forward.
"Shi Qi has met Brother Fang."
There was no trace of ferocity or hostility on Shi Qi's face, and there was even a hint of a smile.
As for reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Fang Ziduo frowned slightly, but still nodded: "Brother Shi came here, why?"
Shi Qi smiled and said: "To be honest, I lost a spiritual beast in my mansion not long ago, and I happened to want to go on a tour."
As soon as he said this, a smile appeared on Li Ye's face. It seemed that he didn't need any deliberate guidance as the other party had already come to greet him personally.
Fang Ziduo was not a fool. When he heard the other party say this reason, he immediately thought of the gold-swallowing beast he saw next to Li Ye before, and then he understood Shi Qi's intention in less than half a breath.
Only now did he truly understand why Li Ye said those words just now!
It turns out that this is the real reason!
Before he could speak, Lan Zheng had already stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Lan Zheng has met Mr. Fang. My senior brother's previous spirit beast was stolen by this man beside Mr. Fang. I hope Mr. Fang is my senior brother."
Call the shots.”
Fang Ziduo was shocked and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
But Li Ye is very direct.
He grabbed it casually and held the gold-swallowing beast in his hand. Regardless of the latter's resentful eyes, he smiled and said, "Is this the spiritual beast the two of you mentioned?"
