Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 360 The Second Master of the Ling Family, Homeless on the Streets. She Might Be Your Daughte

fairyland.

A small alley in Jinzhou.

"Hey, big bearded man, this is top-quality Liyang liquor that I bought at great expense." A short, burly man carrying a jug of liquor approached a scruffy man.

"The Black Tiger Gang in the city has been making big moves lately, trying to seize my Exploding Sky Gang's dock! I know you're capable, so when the fighting starts, you go and assassinate the Black Tiger Gang's leader! For every one you kill, I'll give you 10% of the dock's revenue, up to 30%, how about it?!"

Tianji City is located by the sea. Due to its underdeveloped state and chaotic population, numerous gangs exist here, all relying on the dock business for their livelihood, making the competition naturally fierce.

The bearded man was a vagrant in the city, and there were quite a few people like him in Tianji City. Most of them relied on various forces to make a living, or they were petty thieves.

But the scruffy man next to the burly man was different!

His men were fortunate enough to witness this guy's strength.

It was a dark and windy night when a drunken monk came to a gathering place for vagrants and, for some reason, started killing whoever he saw!

But when he encountered this disheveled bearded man, he sobered up instantly before the bloodstained knife could fall, and immediately turned and left.

What seemed like a trivial matter was carefully analyzed by his subordinates, who concluded that this bearded man was truly capable!

Through observation, he discovered that this bearded, unkempt man had a particular fondness for drinking, so he went to ask him to make a decision, just to give it a try.

The bearded man, lying on the ground sunbathing, didn't even lift his eyelids.

"I'm not interested in killing, but I'm open to drinking."

"Damn, you think you can get away with this for free?!" The burly man elbowed him, then chuckled and placed the wine jug on his body.

"If I don't die tonight, I'll treat you to roast chicken and good wine next time!"

After saying that, he got up and left without looking back.

Seeking out Big Beard was one of his tactics; after all, the Black Tiger Gang was not to be trifled with, and he needed to seize every opportunity to turn the tables.

Otherwise, he might very well be the one who dies!

The cultivation world isn't all about glamorous cultivators; there are also those struggling at the bottom.

People like them could easily end up dead in the street, and nobody would remember them.

Only after he had gone far away did the bearded man open the wine jug and start drinking.

The strong liquor went down his throat, but he felt nothing.

Because he had drunk liquor that was thousands of times stronger than strong liquor, and even liquor that could make you vomit blood.

The sky was getting dark.

The sounds of fighting, the glow of magical weapons, and the roar of attacks echoed from the city's docks.

But everyone was used to it, and it didn't attract the attention of the cultivators in the city; they went about their business as usual.

A group of homeless people hid in a shadowy corner, listening intently to the distant battle.

Once the event is over, it will be time for these people to step in and dispose of the bodies.

If you're lucky, you might even snag some extra cash from the corpses; if not, you can at least get acquainted with the victors and maybe even get some extra work.

The bearded man remained in the same spot as during the day, just like a paralyzed person.

"Big Beard!" The leader of a group of passing homeless people, finding him somewhat of an eyesore, began to chase him away:

"The Black Tiger Gang won. They'll be out sweeping the streets in a demonstration later. If you don't want to die, get the hell out of here!"

This guy has absolutely no sense of propriety; he's still fast asleep at this hour. It's a miracle he's still alive.

No sooner had he finished speaking than his henchman tugged at his sleeve: "Boss~, behind us! There are strong men behind us!"

"A powerful figure?!" Upon hearing this, the leader immediately turned around, his pupils shrinking instantly!

Under the pitch-black night sky, a handsome man dressed in brocade robes walked slowly towards them.

There are other young masters in the city, but this person simply exudes a faint divine light as he walks, making people tremble with fear.

This is not the brilliance of the clothing or magical artifact.

Rather, it is the protective divine light emanating from a cultivator's own body after they have cultivated to an extremely high level.

Those who can exhibit such extraordinary phenomena are at least powerful beings at the Golden Immortal realm!

Just as the leader was about to bow in respect, the other party waved his hand.

They didn't dare linger and ran off in a flash.

But just then, the leader heard the bearded man's voice:

"Wang Er, find a way to rescue the daughter of the leader of the Exploding Sky Gang. After you succeed, come find him and he will give you a generous reward."

"Damn it! You might as well just let me die!" Wang Er thought to himself, cursing wildly.

After the Black Tiger Gang wins, they will definitely wipe out the entire families of the top leaders of the Exploding Sky Gang.

Sending him now would be like opening your eyes on a tiger's backside—it's suicide!

But when he thought about the fact that the person behind him was at least a Golden Immortal, he couldn't help but turn around and look to see if the bearded man was trying to trick him.

"I guarantee you a lifetime of wealth and honor." The man in brocade robes spoke with a faint smile, causing Wang Er to grit his teeth.

"Let's get this done, brothers! Let's go!!"

If we don't leave, we might offend this mysterious bearded man and the young master in fine clothes!

After they quickly left, the man in brocade robes approached the bearded man and, undeterred by the dirt and mess on the ground, sat down on it, his tone resigned:

"Brother Ling Chen, I've been looking for you everywhere!"

If it weren't for his connections, there would be no way to find the second master of the Ling family in such a prominent position.

"The leader of the Immortal King's faction, so free?" Ling Chen put his hands behind his head and raised an eyebrow at him.

"Just tell me, what do you want from me?"

He and Chu Chengfei had not seen each other for thousands of years. For the other party to come in person, something big must have happened!

However, he had no interest in the Ling family's affairs.

His wife, Wei Ruhua, the Holy Maiden of the Tongtian Divine Cult, has gone mad.

Because the jade pendant containing the child's life essence in their possession had already broken!

This was their only solace after sending their child away.

However, if the life-soul jade pendant breaks, it foretells the death of their child.

Wei Ruhua was convinced that the Ling family was responsible for her death, and from then on she went mad.

Even if she saw him, she would see him as the murderer of her son, and she would have no feelings of love for him anymore.

This matter was extremely confidential, but Chu Chengfei was now the Palace Master of Chaotian Palace, so it wasn't difficult for him to find out some things.

Therefore, Ling Chen had no idea why the other party would come to him.

Chu Chengfei didn't say it directly, but instead patted him on the shoulder:

"Brother Ling Chen may seem detached from worldly affairs, but didn't you lend a hand to the leader of the Exploding Heaven Gang just now? That shows that you still have a warm heart."

"It was just something I did on a whim," Ling Chen said in a cryptic tone.

Misfortune should not befall family members.

Moreover, he had drunk a pot of wine from the other party during the day and knew that the man had a baby girl who was just a month old, which is why he offered his help.

Perhaps it was because he failed to protect his child that he found some comfort in this.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something, and his whole body went numb as he stood up abruptly, staring intently at Chu Chengfei!

"Brother Chu, please speak frankly!" Ling Chen's tone was very calm.

But the glint in his eyes foreshadowed how turbulent his heart was!

Followed by.

When he heard Chu Chengfei's next words, he felt a roar in his brain, his tiger eyes were bloodshot, and his whole aura became extremely violent!

“I don’t know if your child is a boy or a girl, but I saw a young woman who looks about 70 or 80 percent like Wei Ruhua. Could she be your daughter?”
