Chapter 75 The Gray Wolf Society
When Li Yuanshan returned.
Sweat was already beading on his forehead.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he immediately closed the door behind him and then subconsciously glanced back at the alley entrance.
It was as if there really was something following behind.
Chen He was originally sitting by the door sharpening his knife.
Seeing his appearance, he immediately stood up.
"Is someone really with you?"
Li Yuanshan took a breath, his face looking rather pale.
"More than one group."
The courtyard immediately fell silent.
Li Xuan sat by the stone table, his expression remaining largely unchanged.
She merely raised her eyes slightly.
Tell me about it.
Li Yuanshan walked to the table, first gulping down a mouthful of cold water before slowly stabilizing his breathing.
"I went to the herbal medicine shop on East Street first."
"There wasn't anything wrong when we went in."
"But after I came out, two rogue cultivators suddenly appeared on the street corner."
"It looks like I'm just strolling around, but they follow me wherever I go."
Chen He sneered.
"The surveillance method wasn't particularly sophisticated."
Li Yuanshan smiled bitterly.
Whether it's clever or not is another matter.
"The key point is that I later went around to South Street."
"As a result, the people who followed me became a different group."
Speaking of it.
His face turned even uglier.
"And there's a fourth level of Qi Refining."
Chen He's eyes instantly turned cold.
The fourth level of Qi Refining.
He's no longer considered an ordinary rogue cultivator.
The strongest fighter in the Li family on the surface is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining.
If such a cultivator really sets his sights on them.
That would definitely be a hassle.
Li Xuan suddenly asked:
"Did they come near you?"
Li Yuanshan shook his head.
"no."
"It's just hanging there the whole time."
"I went into the shop, and they waited outside."
"I stopped, and they stopped too."
"Later, I deliberately went to the dock."
"Those guys didn't follow any further."
Li Xuan nodded slightly.
It seems that the other party is just testing the waters for now.
They are not prepared to take direct action.
Also.
This is, after all, Linhe Town.
It's not in the middle of nowhere.
No one would easily cause trouble in town.
In particular, the Li family had just experienced the Battle of Duanshikou.
Many people still don't understand the Li family's background.
Just then.
Li Xuan's sea of consciousness suddenly trembled slightly.
A pale golden light curtain slowly appeared.
[Family Fortune System]
[Current Family: Li Family]
[Family Luck: 1402]
[Current Status: Under scrutiny from external forces]
Main storyline progress: Establishing a medicine route (12%)
[New tip: Please establish intelligence sources as soon as possible]
Li Xuan's gaze sharpened slightly.
The system prompts are becoming increasingly clear.
This stage in Linhe Town.
The focus is no longer just on resources.
But:
intelligence.
Because the biggest problem for the Li family right now.
It is:
It's invisible.
Who can we collaborate with?
No one can touch it.
Who are the people associated with the Blackstone Gang?
Who is behind each of those shops?
The Li family knows nothing about this.
This feeling.
It's like walking blindfolded in an unfamiliar place.
If you're not careful...
You might fall into a trap.
Li Xuan slowly pulled himself out of his thoughts.
He looked up at Li Yuanshan.
"Have you bought the medicine?"
Li Yuanshan nodded.
"I bought some common wound medicine."
"I didn't dare buy too much."
"but……"
He hesitated for a moment.
"It seems there's something wrong with the owner of the herbal medicine shop."
"What's the problem?"
"They're so enthusiastic."
Li Yuanshan frowned.
"When I first went in, he kept subtly asking about the Li family's situation."
"They even asked us if we planned to stay in Linhe Town long-term."
Chen He immediately sneered.
"It seems the news has already spread."
Li Xuan was not surprised.
Linhe Town is a place like this.
This is the area where information flows the fastest.
A group of monks from outside the Li family entered the town.
They had just experienced the Battle of Duanshikou.
It's hard not to attract attention.
The Li family, in particular, brought goods with them.
In many people's eyes.
This is like easy money delivered to your door.
Thinking about this...
Li Xuan tapped the table lightly with his fingers.
"Chen He".
"Um?"
"Go out tonight."
Chen He grinned.
"Are they finally going to make their move?"
"It's not about taking action."
Li Xuan's voice was calm.
"Investigate the Gray Wolf Society."
Chen He was taken aback.
Li Yuanshan also raised his head.
Li Xuan continued:
"The Black Stone Gang is probably not the only one eyeing the Li family right now."
"Since the Gray Wolf Gang is a local power."
"Then they must know a lot of things."
Chen He stroked his chin.
"How do I check?"
"First, check their usual activity range."
"Investigate further to see which shops they are connected with."
"Especially West Street."
Li Yuanshan couldn't help but say:
"Isn't West Street the most chaotic place?"
Li Xuan nodded.
"The more chaotic a place is, the more information it contains."
"And the Grey Wolf Gang makes a living by collecting tolls on the road."
"Then they must be inextricably linked to the black market."
After listening, Chen He's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"Understood."
"This is to get a feel for them first."
Li Xuan remained silent.
He just kept looking down at the map.
Linhe Town was more complicated than he had expected.
Shops on East Street.
The southern dock.
West Street Black Market.
In addition, there are the Grey Wolf Society, the Black Stone Gang, and other forces lurking in the shadows.
The Li family has so few members now.
It really comes down to a head-on confrontation.
That's simply not enough.
So now is the most important thing.
It's not about hitting.
But:
First, survive.
Just then.
The backyard door suddenly opened.
Two young cultivators from the Li family stepped forward.
One of them had a cloth strap wrapped around his shoulder.
It was clearly a wound left by a broken stone.
"Young clan leader."
"We're almost out of healing medicine."
Li Xuan looked up and glanced at him.
"Save it first."
"Don't go out unnecessarily lately."
The young monk nodded.
But his face clearly showed worry.
The oppressive atmosphere of Linhe Town.
It has already begun to slowly affect everyone.
I used to live in Qingyun County.
Although resources are scarce.
But at least we're familiar with it.
But it's different here.
Everyone here seems to be hiding a knife.
After sitting back down at the table, Li Yuanshan couldn't help but rub his temples.
"I used to think..."
"No matter how chaotic the cultivation world is, there are always rules."
"I only just realized it."
"The truly terrifying thing is that everyone is watching you."
Chen He chuckled.
"This is nothing."
"These local bullies on the outskirts love to prey on visiting merchant caravans."
"Especially families like the Li family."
"They have the goods, but no powerful backers."
Li Yuanshan's heart sank deeper and deeper as he listened.
But Li Xuan remained calm throughout.
Because he knew it very well.
The Li family is now in real danger.
It's not the Grey Wolf Club.
But:
It has no foundation.
As long as the Li family has not truly established itself, that will continue.
This probing will not stop.
Thinking about this...
The system in Li Xuan's sea of consciousness flickered slightly once again.
[A family has been detected entering the peripheral competition zone]
[A New Phase Begins]
[Phase Goal: Establish a foothold in Linhe Town]
[Current Needs]
【intelligence】
【resource】
[Stable Base]
next moment.
The system's light curtain slowly changed.
The phantom images of the seven acres of spiritual fields appeared simultaneously.
The first acre of basic spiritual land.
The second mu of resource-rich land.
The third mu of Julingtian (a type of land).
The fourth mu of high-quality spiritual land.
The fifth stable spiritual field.
The sixth mu of fertile land.
The seventh mu of Juyuan Field.
On the seven acres of spiritual fields.
The spiritual energy flowed slowly.
Especially in the Genta-tanaka area.
Strands of pure spiritual energy are being continuously compressed and condensed.
Then.
A gentle aura slowly flowed into Li Xuan's body.
Li Xuan felt a slight tremor in his dantian.
The spiritual energy, which had been somewhat fluctuating due to days of travel, was now somewhat depleted.
It gradually stabilized.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
As the family's fortunes increased.
Feedback from the Spirit Field System.
It also seems to be constantly increasing.
This is the truly terrifying place.
The Li family is getting stronger.
The stronger the system becomes.
The stronger the system, the better.
The Li family will grow faster and faster.
This cycle.
That is the true core of the family fortune system.
Just then.
A commotion suddenly broke out on the street outside.
Followed by.
You can still faintly hear screams.
Chen He suddenly stood up.
"Something's happened outside."
Li Yuanshan's expression changed.
"Could they be coming for us?"
Chen He had already gripped the hilt of the knife.
Li Xuan raised his hand.
"Don't go out yet."
"Let's see."
The courtyard fell silent instantly.
Everyone instinctively looked towards the courtyard gate.
The noise outside grew louder and louder.
You can still faintly hear someone shouting:
"The Gray Wolves are recruiting!"
"Run!"
next moment.
A figure suddenly rushed across the alleyway.
Blood was spilled all over the ground.
