Chapter 59

It was noon.

Liu Long stayed for lunch. Yuan Shuo's house, at this moment, seemed somewhat dilapidated, with many floor tiles broken.

Normal people wouldn't fight at home.

So, the three people sitting here were clearly not quite normal.

Liu Long stepped into the dining room with a good appetite, eating voraciously.

In front of others, Liu Long was strong, had a high status, and was awe-inspiring.

Here, there was no need for that.

When Yuan Shuo was rampant in his area, Liu Long was just a child seeking a master. In front of Yuan Shuo, he had never been able to hold his head high.

Yuan Shuo, on the other hand, was drinking a little wine. On the table, only he would drink a bit. Liu Long looked strong and burly, but he didn't drink, as drinking could easily lead to mistakes.

Yuan Shuo, however, had the demeanor of an old martial artist, drinking and eating meat with great ease.

At this moment, Yuan Shuo, drinking and squinting his eyes, didn't look at Liu Long or Li Hao, seemingly lost in thought.

Originally, he was thinking about what to do with Li Hao if he left Yincheng.

The problem of the Eight Families unresolved, Li Hao would always be on the edge of danger.

However, when Li Hao grasped the雏形 of "momentum" today, he suddenly felt a bit more at ease. He was even looking forward to whether Li Hao could have the chance to enter the Doushan realm before he left.

Yes, enter the Doushan realm!

Once "momentum" was grasped, with a sword to assist, if more Five Elements mystic energy and a bit of Red Shadow power were added, he would force Li Hao to advance, even if it meant pushing him hard!

"Momentum" was the biggest obstacle for martial artists to advance, and the rest, in Yuan Shuo's view, were not significant.

Last time, he harvested over 1,000 units of mystic energy.

He had been asking the Night Patrol to exchange it for him, but they kept stalling. To this day, he hadn't received the equivalent Five Elements mystic energy.

Originally, he wasn't in a hurry.

Why be in a hurry!

Li Hao's progress, though fast, didn't need to be rushed. However, at this moment, he was somewhat anxious.

Damn!

Too slow!

With the雏形 of "momentum," Li Hao was still in a period of rapid progress. Every day of delay was a crime, a form of torture.

As for Li Hao, if he absorbed too much and his strength surged, leading to a mismatch between his experience and his strength... Yuan Shuo didn't care.

He was different from other martial artists.

Even the weakest Doushan was better than a Hundred-Breaker, right?

First, improve the realm. Once the realm is improved, the strength will follow. What experience? Kill more people, and you'll naturally gain combat experience. The power of a martial artist comes from within, and there's no risk of losing control.

In this way, as long as Li Hao didn't foolishly go to fight people like the Sun of the Three Suns after entering the Doushan realm, there shouldn't be a problem.

At that time, breaking through the Hundred-Moon Shadow would be a sure thing.

Yuan Shuo thought for a moment and suddenly stood up.

Li Hao looked up, ready to pour more wine for his teacher. Yuan Shuo reached out and grabbed the communicator nearby.

After some thought, he dialed a number.

"It's me!"

"Old Yuan..."

The familiar voice came through the communicator, it was Mu Sen's voice.

Li Hao and Liu Long were somewhat surprised. What did he need Mu Sen for?

Yuan Shuo said coldly, "I can't contact Helian Chuan, but you can! Tell him, I want to see my mystic energy tonight, all of it! If I don't see it, the relic thing is over! Don't play games with me, stalling won't solve the problem. Are you waiting for me to come out of the relic to give it to me, or are you waiting for me to die and burn it for me?"

"Old Yuan, we can't contact Baiyue City either..."

"Mu Sen, do I have to go to your office and grab your neck to ask you?"

"..."

There was a brief silence on the other side.

After a moment, Mu Sen said helplessly, "Using the emergency contact method is generally for major events. Each use is a significant expenditure of manpower and resources..."

"A major event is, if Helian Chuan doesn't give me what I want, I'll kill the head of the Night Patrol, Mu Sen. Is that reason enough?"

"..."

Liu Long raised the corners of his mouth but didn't say anything.

Li Hao also held back, afraid that Mu Sen would hear him.

After a moment, Mu Sen said helplessly, "Okay, I'll notify them immediately, but it's late... there's still a distance between us. Even if they prepare, it might be difficult to deliver today."

"Helian Chuan can fly, it's just over a thousand miles. He can fly here! I don't care about the rest, that's it!"

With a slap, he threw the communicator aside and didn't care how they communicated.

Long-distance communication was indeed difficult.

But if even the head of the Night Patrol couldn't contact Baiyue City, Baiyue City's control over Yinyue Province would plummet.

When Helian Chuan came so quickly that day, it was because he had a way to contact quickly, but it was generally not used.

"These guys, if you don't push them, they won't do anything!"

Yuan Shuo was somewhat angry: "I understand their meaning! Soon, we'll go to the relic. If we die in the relic, they don't have to pay anything. If we survive and come out of the relic, we'll naturally have gains, and a bit of mystic energy is nothing... You gave them your sword, and they'll give you things after the relic. Even the mystic energy from killing Duan Tian, they want to keep for themselves..."

The more he said, the angrier he got!

Li Hao hurriedly advised, "Teacher, calm down, we won't need it for a while."

Nonsense!

Yuan Shuo glanced at him, who said they wouldn't need it?

You need it now, and you need it urgently.

This time, to save Liu Long, the sword energy was used up a bit more. Now the sword energy is getting less and less. If you don't improve your strength soon, once the sword energy is used up, it will be very difficult for Li Hao to improve quickly.

The absorption of mystic energy is limited, not unlimited.

Li Hao can do it because the sword energy balances it out.

Otherwise, even with good physical qualities, his absorption would only be a bit stronger than the average person, and he wouldn't be able to absorb over 30 units of mystic energy so easily.

Liu Long spoke up, "Old Yuan needs mystic energy? I can..."

"Eat your food!"

Yuan Shuo cut him off directly. He knew Liu Long's resources well.

Last time, Liu Long did share a lot of mystic energy, about 50 units, which wasn't little.

But to Yuan Shuo, what was that?

Li Hao now needed to strengthen his five organs and needed balanced Five Elements energy. Liu Long's wasn't suitable, and there wasn't much of it. It might be enough for a Hundred-Breaker, but it was far from enough for Li Hao.

Liu Long didn't say anything more.

After a few bites, he was almost full. At this moment, he brought up the main topic: "Old Yuan, do you have more information about the three Sun of the Three Suns?"

Of course, the three Sun of the Three Suns.

Are they early, middle, or late stage?

What abilities do they excel in?

They knew almost nothing about their enemies, except for their realm and numbers, and everything else was a mystery.

In such a situation, it was hard to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

"No."

Yuan Shuo responded and added, "I also want Helian Chuan to come to support us! If we don't call him for the feast, we'll call him if something goes wrong!"

Liu Long was taken aback.

Yuan Shuo continued, "When your branch is established, shouldn't someone from the top come to congratulate you? Helian Chuan is the most suitable! If he comes now, it will show importance and also suppress the supernaturals at the scene, so they won't get involved. Lastly... if something really goes wrong, Helian Chuan can help you wrap things up."

Yes, that was Yuan Shuo's plan.

He forced them to bring the mystic energy tonight. Who else could come at night and deliver it but Helian Chuan?

As for whether he would come... if he didn't come tonight, he would have to come tomorrow.

And it would definitely be Helian Chuan!

Because only Helian Chuan would dare to cross a thousand miles to deliver over a thousand units of mystic energy. Do they think there are no supernaturals out there who would rob them?

Li Hao couldn't help but admire, "Teacher, you really have it all planned out!"

Of course, how Helian Chuan would react when he arrived was another matter.

Yuan Shuo added, "Don't care what he thinks. The Night Patrol clearing out wanted criminals, is that not allowed? Besides, now that the families are waiting to cooperate with us to develop the relic, as long as it's not a full-scale war, there shouldn't be a problem, provided they don't know Qiao Feilong's strength."

The two nodded.

Liu Long pondered for a moment and said, "So, we have to deal with the three Sun of the Three Suns ourselves?"

He thought about it and remembered that Yuan Shuo said Helian Chuan would help wrap things up, so it shouldn't be too difficult.

Of course, no plan is perfect.

Fortune lies in taking risks!

If Yuan Shuo isn't afraid, he has nothing to fear either.

"Then, after I go back, I'll make some arrangements. I'll need cooperation from others, at least to prepare for a siege."

Thinking about it, he hesitated, "By the way, in the mine, there are probably many ordinary people. If we use large-scale weapons..."

He was somewhat hesitant.

On this point, Yuan Shuo was actually more ruthless.

But Yuan Shuo knew his character and didn't directly say to ignore it, but started to consider it.

Li Hao interjected, "They won't let ordinary people enter
