Mei Changqing felt as if ten thousand grass-mud horses were galloping through his heart.

To suppress his opponent, he had forcefully borrowed a large amount of Immortal Spirit Qi from that entity to wage a war of attrition, ultimately causing Elder Tianwu to exhaust to death and trapping him deep in the frontier.

But to his terrible luck, someone cursed had unexpectedly released him!

Didn’t they know that this old thing was an invincible existence?

Although his cultivation level was erratic, if they happened to encounter him in a good state, then he was an existence that could slay gods.

One who had seized Immortal Spirit Qi twice in a row was definitely not playing around!

Cold sweat broke out on Mei Changqing’s body; his body still contained a few strands of Immortal Spirit Qi gifted by that being. He was not afraid to fight now, but it was too wasteful to use it for such a meaningless thing.

He still wanted to preserve these few strands of Immortal Spirit Qi. The release of Immortal Spirit Qi was imminent, and he wanted to rely on the mysterious power within him to make a big move!

“It was I who released him. When we wander the world, what we value is a bond as deep as that of gallbladders and bile, to shout out against injustice, and to act when it’s time to act. As the lord of a city, you actually imprisoned a lonely old man; that is not only shameless, it’s also lacking in martial integrity!”

“I, Li Xiaobai, am ashamed to be associated with an existence like you!”

Li Xiaobai spoke indignantly, filled with righteous anger.

“City Lord Mei, this is the Holy City, it’s not your turn to be presumptuous.”

Song Que said coldly.

“Heh, indeed I was impetuous. I lost control of my emotions for a moment and alarmed everyone; that was rash of me as the City Lord.”

“However, this formula matter is indeed of great importance. Please consider it carefully; Huazi and the bathhouse are a double-edged sword for the frontier. We understand the matters of the frontier the best. It is most prudent for us to have control over the formula.”

“Young Master Li, just name your price. I am willing to buy your formula.”

Mei Changqing’s eyes flashed a cold gleam, his anger turned into a smile as he spoke. As a big shot, changing face in a second was a basic skill.

And he had absolute confidence that these people of the Holy City would stand by him. After all, the miraculous effects of Huazi and the bathhouse were clear for all to see; it was impossible to say they weren’t tempted.

Now that he had broached the subject, he believed that Yang Guang and the others would immediately follow suit and pressure Li Xiaobai to give up the formula.

The difference between the fish and the fisherman is clear to everyone; instead of letting them open shops in the city, it’s better to master the production method and carry out assembly line production.

But the next second, the smile on his face stiffened.

He saw clearly that Yang Guang and the others were looking at him as if he were a fool. “City Lord Mei, just focus on doing business and drop the schemes. Always thinking about fanciful things, opportunities will slip away through the cracks of your fingers.”

“I…”

Mei Changqing was at a loss for words, his face filled with confusion. This wasn’t the script; didn’t they all want the formula?

Aren’t they afraid Li Xiaobai will suddenly jack up the price?

What was going on?

“Please allow me to speak frankly, the effects of Huazi are clear for all to see. If it were in our hands, we could certainly maximize its utilization rate!”

Mei Changqing said incredulously, continuing to speak.

“So what?”

“City Lord Mei, just quietly make your contribution to the frontier. For Young Master Li to be able to set up a shop in the city is already a great kindness. If we even covet his financial resources, would we still be considered human?”

“Please, don’t mention it anymore!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Cai Kunxu shook his head and sighed, as if a transcendent sage earnestly advised.

With two formidable beings standing by, he was no longer afraid of Mei Changqing.

Mei Changqing was utterly perplexed, and Wang Guan was also somewhat unclear about what was happening; the direction of the events was diverging from what they had anticipated!

“Very well, very good indeed!”

“It seems that I, the City Lord, have worried unnecessarily. I will take my leave!”

The veins on Mei Changqing’s forehead bulged as he realized that in his absence, both the third and fourth battlefields had been won over by the Holy City. Not only that, but even the Dry Flame Saint Child was now soaking contentedly in a pool, clearly under Ergouzi’s sway.

He had not expected such significant changes in the Holy City within just a few days. If left unchecked, the balance at the frontier would surely be disrupted, which could be very detrimental to his plans. He needed to take action promptly.

“City Lord Mei might wish to read today’s issue of Immortal Spirit Daily for some unexpected surprises. Farewell, I won’t see you out.”

Li Xiaobai said with a light smile, while Mei Changqing, also having his own reservations, dared not confront Song Que and the beggar directly.

Although Wang Guan was formidable, he still couldn’t bridge the gap by much, and he wasn’t of much use in fights at the beggar’s level.

“Humph, the City Lord will remember this.”

With a cold snort, Mei Changqing stepped out and vanished from the hall.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Heh, I’ve always disliked that guy. If we weren’t in the Holy City, I would’ve taken him down long ago!” the beggar grumbled bitterly as he watched Mei Changqing’s disappearing figure, still bothered by his earlier capture.

“Heh, bragging, huh? Go ahead then, since bragging doesn’t cost a penny; as you please,” Song Que sneered, finding the old man’s claims clearly born of fear. He feared that Mei Changqing still had Immortal Spirit Qi within him and did not dare to face his sharp edge head-on. Truly despicable.

“The beggar has been undefeated his whole life; what do you know!”

“Heh, I don’t know much, just that you were captured by City Lord Mei and if it hadn’t been for Young Master Li’s rescue, you’d still be locked up in the frontier!”

“I…”

The two elders were circulating their Qi in the water, glaring and bristling at each other.

“Young Master Li, what did you mean by suggesting that Mei read the Immortal Spirit Daily just now?”

Yang Guang suddenly asked, remembering that he himself hadn’t read the newspaper for the last several days.

“You’ll know once you see it.”

Li Xiaobai tossed out a copy of the Immortal Spirit Daily. Everyone gathered close to read the information carefully.

The headline on the front page caught their eyes, causing their pupils to constrict suddenly. They were filled with shock.

“Young Master, you mentioned earlier that someone would come after the first battlefield; could it be related to this person?”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

At the same time.

Outside the Holy City.

“City Lord Mei, that old fellow has broken free, our secret might be revealed!”

Wang Guan’s eyes flickered with a dangerous light. Elder Tianwu had seen Mei Changqing using Immortal Spirit Qi and must have also witnessed the peculiar phenomenon at the altar. If the word gets out, they could become targets for all.

“No matter. What can they do even if it’s revealed? Later, we’ll hide the altar and create an untraceable situation. With that person’s support, I will definitely obtain the Immortal Spirit Qi, and as soon as I ascend to the Half-step Human Immortal Realm, no monsters or devils will dare to act rashly!”

Mei Changqing spoke slowly, still confident in his trump card. He didn’t care about that person’s plans and had no intention of fulfilling them; obtaining the Immortal Spirit Qi was all that mattered to him.

“Right, get me a copy of the Immortal Spirit Daily. I want to see what kind of tricks Li Xiaobai is playing!”
