198: Everyone is surprised that a collaboration has been reached! Locking Heaven Formation, you want to pick me up

Facing Jiang Yu’s questioning gaze, Xu Chuang didn’t dare to look at her.

After all, he couldn't actually say it!

Otherwise, Ye An’s plan would be ruined!

Fortunately, it wasn't his turn to speak, and soon Li Dao started to curse!

“You old dog Xu, you found a spiritual ore vein outside Jianglan City and didn’t even tell us, secretly making a fortune for yourself!”

Xu Xiao was also displeased upon hearing this.

“Old Daoist Li, why are you pretending to be so important!”

“You! Didn’t your Li Family also keep your Medicinal Pill business to yourselves?”

“You don’t share your connections in White Province, so why should we share the spiritual ore vein with you?”

“Besides, it was discovered by our Xu Family, what does it have to do with your Li Family?”

“You!”

Li Dao was also furious.

However, Jiang Shan was clearly much calmer than Li Dao, and quickly waved his hand, saying!

“Alright, alright, Li Dao, don’t be upset. If you had discovered the spiritual ore vein, would you have proactively revealed it?”

Indeed, Li Dao immediately wilted upon hearing this.

Jiang Shan didn't waste any more words and looked at Xu Xiao, asking!

“Since your Xu Family was secretly mining it so well, why are you revealing it today?”

“Did something happen?”

Xu Xiao sighed upon hearing this!

“Something did happen!”

“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have said anything!”

“First, tell us what happened!”

Jiang Shan said.

A spiritual ore vein was certainly tempting, but he wasn’t foolish.

If something hadn’t happened, would the Xu Family have voluntarily brought it out?

That was a spiritual ore vein, something even his Jiang Family would covet!

Xu Xiao didn't waste any more words and immediately said!

“To be honest, just last night, our Xu Family’s spiritual ore vein was occupied by a group of bandits!”

“The other side has two or three Nascent Soul Realm experts guarding it!”

“All the people I sent were killed!”

“I really had no other choice, which is why I came to you!”

“We are all Families of Jianglan City. As long as you agree to help my Xu Family reclaim the spiritual ore vein!”

“After the matter is settled, our three Families will divide the spiritual ore vein into three parts and make a blood oath to get rich together, how about it?”

As soon as Xu Xiao finished speaking, Li Dao and Jiang Shan couldn't help but exchange glances!

To be honest, who wouldn't want to monopolize this spiritual ore vein?

But the problem was, no one could accomplish that alone!

Even if Jiang Shan was the City Lord, and Jiang Zhuo was powerful!

Could he just directly annihilate the Xu Family and the Li Family?

The Li Family aside, the Xu Family dared to reveal this matter, which meant they definitely had a backup plan!

If Jiang Shan chose to silence them, the news of the spiritual ore vein would instantly spread throughout White Province!

At that time, if the Bai Family intervened, let alone dividing the spiritual ore vein into three, they might not even get a single copper coin!

After all, in White Province, who could contend with the Bai Family?

After Xu Xiao finished speaking, he didn't waste any more words and looked at Jiang Zhuo, who was standing beside him, then said to Jiang Shan.

“Brother Jiang, although your son is in the Bai Family Military Camp!”

“Ultimately, he hasn’t even become a Grand General!”

“I heard that the Bai Family Military Camp is currently selecting its third Grand General!”

“With the help of this spiritual ore vein, I imagine he should have a better chance of winning, right?”

Jiang Shan smiled upon hearing this!

“Brother Xu, you don’t need to bring that up. Although I, Jiang Shan, love wealth!”

“I also know the principle that clear water has no fish!”

“On this matter, my Bai Family agrees!”

“It just depends on what Brother Li thinks!”

Saying this, Jiang Shan also looked at Li Dao, who was beside him!

To be honest, Li Dao was very conflicted.

Since the battle with Ye An, their Li Family’s Guest Elders were basically no longer high-level experts!

If they really wanted to participate, they would have to use members of the Li Family’s main branch this time!

And these were the Li Family’s Foundation!

Once used, if things succeeded, it would be fine!

But if they failed, their Li Family would truly be annihilated!

Seeing Li Dao remain silent, Xu Xiao smiled and said!

“Brother Li, do you know who is occupying our Xu Family’s spiritual ore vein?”

“Who?”

Li Dao asked with a frown.

Xu Xiao said!

“It’s the same group of bandits who specialize in robbing the Li Family, the ones who previously robbed your Li Family’s caravan!”

“Them?”

“How is that possible?”

Li Dao was very surprised to hear this.

He had always thought that it was Ye An who had robbed his Family’s caravan!

But if it was Ye An, then the situation didn't make sense!

He had heard Li Xiaotian say that Xu Chuang had recently been following Ye An.

But if Ye An was also the one who robbed the Xu Family’s spiritual ore vein, then it wouldn't make sense!

Could it be that Xu Chuang was helping Ye An rob his own Family’s spiritual ore vein?

Alright, even if he believed that was true!

But the problem was, Xu Xiao couldn't possibly be listening to Ye An, could he!

Would he also, for Ye An’s sake, bring out his own spiritual ore vein to set up a scheme for himself?

Li Dao clearly didn't believe Xu Xiao would do that!

After all, that was a spiritual ore vein!

As soon as he thought of this, Li Dao felt a headache coming on!

The relationships involved were simply too intricate!

But he knew that no matter how complex the relationships were!

Xu Xiao would never bring out a spiritual ore vein to set up a scheme for himself for Ye An’s sake!

That was human nature!

As soon as he thought of this.

Li Dao decided!

“My Li Family will also join!”

Li Dao actually had no choice. The group of bandits who specialized in robbing the Li Family had been lingering near Jianglan City like ghosts!

As long as they were around, their Li Family would be very passive!

So, to re-develop, he had to find a way to deal with this group of people!

Although he wouldn't participate this time, the Jiang Family and the Xu Family would still deal with these people!

But the problem was, Jiang Shan was already close to retirement!

If their Li Family missed this opportunity, once the Xu Family and the Jiang Family obtained the spiritual ore vein!

Given their relationship, the position of City Lord would inevitably fall into the Xu Family’s hands!

At that time, their Li Family would truly have no place in the entire Jianglan City!

Thinking of all this, Li Dao had no choice but to participate!

At least by participating, the three Families would be bound together.

In the future, no matter if the Li Family or the Xu Family became City Lord, they couldn't do anything to the other Family!

This spiritual ore vein was the bargaining chip!

But if they didn't get on this train, then there would truly be no opportunity!

Seeing that Li Dao had also agreed, Xu Xiao said!

“Since that’s the case, let’s make a blood oath that this matter must never be leaked!”

“We will prepare our forces for these three days, and three days later, we will march to Qiong Mountain!”

Li Dao and Jiang Shan both nodded, clearly having no objections!

...The cooperation was considered achieved.

And what they didn't know was.

As the cooperation was achieved, Ye An, who was far away at Ye Family Pass, also received the news!

At this moment, he was engraving a Formation.

Ye Xinlian, Ye Yinger, and Xu Yin were standing behind him, watching!

Xu Yin couldn't help but ask!

“Sister Xin Lian, what Grade of Formation is Brother Ye An engraving? It’s so hard to understand!”

Ye Xinlian smiled and said!

“This is the Fifth-Grade Formation, Locking Heaven Array!”

“Its coverage is extremely vast. Once trapped, even a Mahayana Realm expert cannot escape. Of course it’s hard to understand!”

“Fifth-Grade Formation?”

Xu Yin couldn't help but be surprised upon hearing this.

Ye An had almost finished engraving at this moment and turned to look at Xu Yin, smiling as he said!

“You still have the mood to watch me engrave Formations!”

“Have you mastered the refining of your Fourth Grade Pill?”

Xu Yin quickly replied!

“I have completely mastered it, and recently I’ve even started learning Fifth-Grade Pills!”

“Brother Ye An, when will you properly teach me about Fifth-Grade Pills!”

Ye An was stunned upon hearing this!

“Your talent is actually this high, not bad!”

“Then, how about this, I still have to go out in a few days!”

“This time, you can come with me!”

“Go together? Oh, yes, yes!”

“Then I’ll tell my brother?”

Xu Yin quickly said.

Ye An, however, smiled and said!

“No need!”

“The place I’m going this time, your brother will also be there!”

“You’ll naturally meet when we get there!”

Xu Yin was delighted to hear this and quickly said!

“Alright! Then I’ll go with you!”

Ye An smiled and nodded.

When Xu Yin met Xu Chuang again, it would be at the spiritual ore mine!

Bringing her along would also make it easier to persuade Xu Xiao!

As Ye An was thinking, Xu Yin, who was beside him, stretched and said!

“I’m so tired, just watching makes me exhausted!”

“Let’s go soak in the hot springs, relax a bit!”

Ye Xinlian and Ye Yinger couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.

Ye Xinlian said!

“We are already in the Late Stage of pregnancy, so we won’t go!”

“You and husband go!”

Xu Yin was stunned and quickly said!

“Ah? Wouldn’t that be inappropriate!”

Ye Xinlian smiled and said!

“Don’t worry, we don’t mind!”

“And before your brother left, he specifically told husband to take good care of you!”

“There was such a thing?”

Xu Yin was stunned, secretly delighted, and exclaimed that her older brother was truly good!

However, Ye An, who was beside her, was a bit bewildered!

“Xu Chuang said that?”

Ye Xinlian quickly said!

“He did, did you forget? Then we’ll leave first!”

“You two go!”

Saying this, Ye Xinlian pulled Ye Yinger away.

And Xu Yin also eagerly linked arms with Ye An, pouting and saying!

“Brother Ye An, hurry up, let’s go soak in the hot springs!”

“Uh… alright!”

Ye An was a bit awkward, exclaiming in his heart!

“Good heavens, you want to go soak in the hot springs?”

“Why do I feel like you want to soak… me!”
