40: A true dragon emerges from shallow water

When he spoke, all the Profound Spirit Realm geniuses acknowledged it.

And as they stepped forward, Liu Hong and the others were shocked.

There were so many Profound Spirit Realm individuals; it was terrifying!

Not only that, Liu Hong and the others could keenly sense that the aura and characteristics of these individuals were completely different from the Xuan Ling Realm Ninth Level expert behind Shen Mo…

They seemed more majestic, more powerful… and more vibrant!

In other words, every single person present had the potential to surpass that Xuan Ling Realm Ninth Level expert!

What did this signify?

These individuals were all extremely formidable geniuses!

Oh my Heavens!

Just who exactly was this master of theirs?

Liu Hong's scalp tingled as he looked at Shen Mo's yaksha mask, too stunned to speak.

He couldn't understand why a powerful figure like Shen Mo, possessing such influence, such a cultivation system, and so many talents…

And who could effortlessly produce such powerful cultivation techniques, would set his sights on a place like the Northwest Black Market?

This place was utterly unremarkable!

It was like a True Dragon emerging from shallow waters!

It was simply unbelievable!

While Liu Hong and the others were still in shock, Shen Mo, on the other side, had already whispered, “Alright.”

“The rest of you, accompany me to these two places!”

As Shen Mo spoke, his gaze was fixed on two locations in Lin Hai City.

These were none other than the two Heaven Division strongholds under Luo Fan's command.

Tsk tsk, let me see how big of a surprise these two places of the protagonist can give me!

Shen Mo lightly licked the corner of his lips, the smile in his eyes wicked and icy.

…………

The group arrived at the Heaven Division stronghold.

Shen Mo went to one of the locations, while the other location was visited by a team of his Profound Spirit Realm guards.

They aimed for a quick resolution!

It was time for the protagonist to experience the feeling of heartbreak!

Shen Mo's expression was a cold sneer.

Meanwhile, Luo Fan was still pacing restlessly in his villa.

His mood was very unsettled; he always felt as if something was about to happen.

But that was impossible!

What could possibly threaten him now?

Luo Fan's influence in Lin Hai City, while not impregnable, was indeed unmatched.

He controlled nearly eighty percent of the entire Lin Hai City's underground market.

Although he had suffered heavy losses recently due to the Hearing-Wood Faction incident.

However, his foundation was deep, and he quickly recovered.

To put it bluntly, Luo Fan's influence in Lin Hai City was entirely inherited from the Medical Saint.

The power the other party left him naturally had its extraordinary aspects.

Now, he just waited for these forces to be brought into the open.

And all of this still required his own efforts!

As he was thinking this, a Heaven Division member on the other side, with bowed head, walked up to Luo Fan and whispered, “Young Master, someone wishes to see you.”

“It's Grand Governor Liang's person.”

Upon hearing his words, Luo Fan's heart immediately grew solemn.

Grand Governor Liang, a prominent figure in Qingyu City.

Luo Fan had always wanted to connect with him and expand his influence there.

He hadn't expected the other party to send someone to find him.

Luo Fan hurriedly followed his subordinate into the living room.

…………

In the living room.

A group of formidable, tall, and solemn individuals stood in a line, guarding a young man in the center.

The aura of those individuals was extremely powerful; a quick glance revealed that they were all in the Profound Spirit Realm, and each one possessed the strength of roughly the Profound Spirit Realm Third Level.

Seeing this, Luo Fan's heart grew solemn, and he quickly stepped forward, saying, “Young Master Siqi.”

As he spoke, the young man sitting on the sofa immediately looked up.

The other party's expression was leisurely; he was currently holding a book, flipping through it idly, while a guard beside him was kneeling on one knee, holding a teacup, seemingly serving him.

This was clearly Luo Fan's villa, yet the other party made it feel as if he were in his own home.

“Luo Fan?”

Liang Siqi's gaze swept over Luo Fan's face and settled on him, “You truly are a talented and outstanding individual, no wonder my father has always spoken of you.”

He was all smiles, but inexplicably gave off a chilling and severe impression.

And as his voice rang out, Luo Fan was somewhat flattered.

He hadn't expected it to be Liang Siqi, Grand Governor Liang's eldest son.

This eldest son of Grand Governor Liang was quite renowned.

It was said that he had long been valued by the Imperial Capital Martial Department and would soon enter the Imperial Capital Martial Department to take charge of a branch, becoming a truly powerful figure!

Not only that, his strength was formidable.

It was said that if Grand Governor Liang were not present, he would surely take over Grand Governor Liang's position and govern Qingyu City!

And Qingyu City was the provincial capital of the Northwest Province, the superior city to Lin Hai City.

“Thank you for Grand Governor Liang's high regard.”

Luo Fan knew that the various treasures he had sent to Governor-General Liangs Mansion had played a role.

When Luo Fan took over the Medical Saint Inheritance, he also inherited many treasures.

Some of these items were not suitable for Luo Fan to use, so he gave them one by one to those he wished to befriend.

And he sent the most to Grand Governor Liang.

Because, to develop in the Northwest Province, one could not bypass the Liang Family.

As Luo Fan spoke, the smile on Liang Siqi's face deepened.

He looked at Luo Fan with a very meaningful gaze.

“I heard Brother Luo has two confidantes.”

“These two confidantes are incomparable to one of Shen Mo's confidantes.”

“This person's taste is truly vastly different.”

When he said this, the smile in Luo Fan's eyes faded slightly, and he forced a smile, saying, “Yes.”

“I can't compare to Shen Mo.”

“His luck is too good.”

When Luo Fan said this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth, and his words carried emphasis.

“Heh.”

Liang Siqi chuckled lightly, then stood up, signaling his bodyguard to step back.

The other party received the command, respectfully holding the tea, and stood behind Liang Siqi.

“Sometimes, a person's luck is not a good thing.”

Liang Siqi said to Luo Fan with a smile, “As the saying goes, Heaven seeks to take something, it must first give it! How do you see it, Brother Luo?”

As he said this, the smile in his eyes grew even deeper and colder.

“I value Brother Luo greatly. When I return this time, I will definitely speak with my father about entrusting most of Qingyu City's underground business to Brother Luo.”

“As long as we are behind you, no one in Qingyu City would dare to act against you, Brother Luo, or have any objections.”

“And all of this depends on what you, Brother Luo, choose to do…”
