Chapter 61

Time passed in a blink, a day had gone by.

August 1st.

Silver City.

Qiao Family Mining.

In the top-floor office.

Qiao Feilong stood by the window, overlooking the entire Silver City. The not-so-big city was fully visible through the floor-to-ceiling window.

Despite the clear and sunny day, Qiao Feilong felt a sense of oppression.

"A storm is coming!"

The gray-haired Qiao Feilong murmured softly.

This storm did not just start today.

When the Red Moon made a direct move to capture the last heir of the Eight Families, they ended up losing one of their Three Yangs to Yuan Shuo, and the storm began to rage in Silver City.

Not just in Silver City, but the entire Silver Moon Province, no place was more stormy than Silver City at this moment.

The Red Moon, Flying Heaven, Yanluo, along with some medium and small organizations, and the Night Patrol, all turned their attention to Silver City.

How long could the Qiao Family, hidden for so many years, remain concealed?

Once exposed, the first to target him would not be anyone else but Yanluo.

As a pawn planted by Yanluo in Silver City, Yanluo originally only had a vague understanding of the Eight Families in Silver City. However, with the discovery of the Red Moon's layout in Silver City and Qiao Feilong being a native of Silver City, he was planted back in Silver City.

At that time, Qiao Feilong was just a peak Tenth-Cut Martial Artist.

Of course, in that era, this strength was still considerable, but to Yanluo, whether there was one more or one less Qiao Feilong didn't matter.

The main purpose was to plant a thorn in the Red Moon's side.

However, no one expected that Qiao Feilong would actually discover something in Silver City, and even gain many benefits. Unbeknownst to him, while countless people outside were struggling to reach the Three Yangs, he quietly crossed that threshold.

If the news leaked, Yanluo would certainly send people to kill him, and even the leader of Yanluo might come personally... For a Tenth-Cut Martial Artist to cross into the Three Yangs without much training, the ruins of Silver City were clearly more powerful than imagined.

"It's time to leave!"

Qiao Feilong muttered again.

Silver City was not a place to stay for long. With the death of a Three Yang from the Red Moon, this place had attracted too much attention, but he was not willing... That ruin still had not been fully explored.

The benefits he had gained, he felt, were just the tip of the iceberg. Even so, he had crossed into the Three Yangs.

If he could inherit everything, he was sure he could surpass the Three Yangs and even create a powerful superhuman organization that would not be weaker than the three major organizations.

He was not willing!

Greed, everyone has it, and he had already gained some benefits. How could he give up so easily?

"Li Hao..."

Knock, knock, knock!

The office door was knocked on.

"Come in!"

Outside the door, Qiao Peng pushed it open, "Father."

Qiao Feilong turned around, looking at him with a calm expression: "What is it?"

"Father, the Night Patrol branch is being established tonight, and Minister Hao Lianchuan will preside over it. Although you and I are not invited, Uncle Chen and a few others are on the guest list..."

"Hmm."

Uncle Chen, the driver, had been protecting Qiao Peng recently. He was also the strongest of the Qiao Family Mining, a Moon-Full level existence.

Such an existence was not weaker than Liu Long, proving the status and strength of the Qiao Family Mining.

Qiao Feilong also wanted to avoid some people targeting them. If they did, it would be difficult to decide whether to fight back or not.

If this Moon-Full had appeared earlier, would Liu Long have dared to sneak into his room in the middle of the night?

Precisely because of this, to avoid such annoying things, this strong person appeared openly. To the outside, or to some upper-level people, the message was that this person was a strong person hired by Qiao Feilong at great expense.

Every year, he needed to provide 100 cubic meters of mysterious energy, worth a billion star coins, while Liu Long, as a branch minister, only received 3 cubic meters of mysterious energy per month, 36 cubic meters per year, which was the official treatment given by the Night Patrol.

Clearly, following the Qiao Family brought more benefits.

Qiao Peng saw that his father seemed to be lost in thought and had to interrupt again: "Father, can I attend the ceremony tonight?"

"You?"

Qiao Feilong frowned slightly: "What are you going there for?"

He was not a superhuman, and the other party did not invite him. Would he just go there to invite trouble?

"I want to take the opportunity to talk to Liu Yan and resolve past grievances. Also... I want to get closer to Li Hao!"

Qiao Peng was somewhat unwilling: "If Liu Long hadn't interfered yesterday, I might have already obtained Li Hao's blood."

He was still upset about yesterday's failure.

It was just a little bit!

Qiao Feilong frowned slightly and soon shook his head: "No need! I have plans for Li Hao."

Qiao Feilong did not want to delay, although the ruins had not been fully developed. However, once the other ruins were developed by the Night Patrol, the peace in Silver City would end.

He did not have much time to waste.

He had to deal with Li Hao before then and try to unlock the ruins. Unfortunately... the sword of the Li Family seemed to have been handed over to the Night Patrol, and he was now unsure whether he needed the weapon or the bloodline.

This was why he was somewhat indecisive.

"Father, what plans do you have?"

"Create an attack!"

Qiao Feilong said coldly: "Pretend to be people from the Red Moon and attack him. We don't need to kill him, but we must take some of his blood, preferably his heart blood!"

This was the only way.

Qiao Peng nodded, he had no objections, of course, even if he did, it wouldn't matter.

"Should we wait until Hao Lianchuan leaves before making a move?"

"Yes."

Qiao Feilong nodded. If it were possible, he would wait until Yuan Shuo left before making a move, but Yuan Shuo might take Li Hao to the other ruins. These people would not leave Li Hao in Silver City, as they all knew the Red Moon was watching him.

Now, the Qiao Family's only advantage was secrecy.

No one knew their strength, no one knew their situation. Pretending to be people from the Red Moon and attacking Li Hao once, even if they were investigated, it would only lead to the Red Moon, and it might give them more time to fully develop the ruins.

He was still reluctant to leave!

The father and son chatted for a while. Qiao Peng looked around, appearing somewhat hesitant.

Qiao Feilong frowned again, "Speak!"

"Father, we may have to leave Silver City soon. When can I enter the ruins and become a superhuman?"

He couldn't hold back and said it.

He wanted to become stronger!

Especially yesterday, when Liu Long ignored him, looking down on him, and only spoke to the driver, Uncle Chen. That sense of disdain and neglect made him very uncomfortable.

Li Hao was the same!

Because he was just an ordinary person, and Li Hao had entered the Tenth-Cut realm, Li Hao also looked down on him.

Qiao Peng couldn't hold back anymore!

He wanted to become a superhuman. Since his father was planning to leave soon anyway.

Qiao Peng hurriedly added: "Father, if we have to leave, it will delay our departure if I'm still an ordinary person. If I can cross into the superhuman realm, at least I won't be a burden."

Qiao Feilong frowned.

Now was not a good time.

Of course, Qiao Peng was his only son, and he didn't want to suppress him forever. The suppression earlier was partly for secrecy and partly for other reasons.

Seeing the anxiety and resentment in Qiao Peng's eyes, he understood that the suppression had gone on too long, and his son was angry.

"Peng, becoming a superhuman is simple!"

Qiao Feilong said softly: "If it were ten years ago, I would have made you a superhuman long ago! But in recent years, with more discoveries and my own strength, I have found more."

He looked at Qiao Peng and said with a strange tone: "They say opening the superhuman lock is the key to the mysterious! But my discoveries over the years tell me that opening the superhuman lock too early is a form of potential depletion and a burning of life force."

"A Martial Artist reaches the peak at Dou Qian, with no further path. So, being a Martial Artist is not the right path. And superhumans... may not be safe either, and may not have a better future than Martial Artists."

Qiao Feilong said solemnly: "I think some powerful superhumans may have also discovered some issues through ruins and ancient texts. Wait a bit longer, and once we have more development of the ruins, I promise you can become a strong person!"

Father's words were vague, and Qiao Peng felt frustrated, somewhat unwilling.

What did his father discover?

Not safe?

Now, superhumans are rampant, and some powerful superhumans can already fly and move like gods. How could they be less safe than ordinary people?

He couldn't help but say: "Father, no matter what path, I haven't made progress in martial arts or superhuman abilities in recent years... I can't just wait around to become strong, can I?"

Even if superhuman abilities are not safe, what about martial arts?

But his father didn't even let him absorb mysterious energy, so his martial arts path naturally made no progress. He hadn't even entered the Tenth-Cut realm, only being a rough fighter.

Qiao Feilong became somewhat impatient: "Would I harm you? Mysterious energy, at this time, cannot be absorbed too much. Absorbing too much mysterious energy is a form of self-destruction! I have discovered a more special and powerful energy in the ruins!"

His eyes lit up, and he became somewhat excited: "This energy is different from other mysterious energies and internal energy. It can nourish your physical body and make your superhuman lock stronger! It may not seem to increase your strength much, but when combined with mysterious energy, it is almost like the power of the heavens! As long as we obtain more of this energy... you can quickly cross into the Martial Artist realm, breaking through to Bai Bai or even Dou Qian... and then use a powerful physical body to break the superhuman lock, leaping to
