Chapter 98

Liu Daquan felt bitter in his heart, the fat on his face almost crumpling into a ball, but under Jing Yan's insistence, he could only send someone to pass the message to the Tianlang Gang.

Calling over a guard and giving him instructions, Liu Daquan then looked at Jing Yan with a helpless smile.

"Head of the Liu Family, you don't need to worry too much. I will do my best in this matter," Jing Yan said with a light smile, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at Liu Daquan.

"Hehe... Young Master Jing Yan, I won't disturb your rest. Xiaoyue, you stay here to serve Young Master Jing Yan. If Young Master Jing Yan needs anything, you must attend to it immediately! Young Master Jing Yan is our most honored guest!"

"Young Master Jing Yan, I'll take my leave then." Liu Daquan was somewhat anxious; he needed to prepare for the negotiations tomorrow and gather all the guards.

Once the battle starts tomorrow, the guards can at least hold out for a while, giving him time to escape. Of course, Young Master Jing Yan's life is the top priority; no matter what, he cannot let Young Master Jing Yan die here.

Then, he would pack up everything he could take and be ready to leave at any moment.

Hearing her father's words, Liu Xiaoyue's face turned even redder. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Jing Yan.

In fact, she had a very good impression of Jing Yan.

Jing Yan was not only from a prominent family, but he was also very handsome and young. If she could truly follow Jing Yan, it would be her good fortune, even if she were to be a concubine, she would be willing.

However, Jing Yan frowned slightly.

"Head of the Liu Family, I don't need anyone to serve me. Before the negotiation at noon tomorrow, just send someone to inform me," Jing Yan waved his hand. Although his tone was calm, there was an unmistakable and unchallengeable quality to it.

Liu Daquan, a shrewd man, could see that Jing Yan really didn't want Liu Xiaoyue to stay with him. His heart suddenly turned cold. Could it be that this young master doesn't look favorably upon his daughter?

His thoughts raced, but he said, "Hehe... Xiaoyue, let's let Young Master Jing Yan rest!"

Hearing Jing Yan's words, Liu Xiaoyue's rosy face turned pale. She slowly raised her head, looking at Jing Yan with her large, watery eyes, a hint of grievance in them.

However, she obediently stood up and followed her father, Liu Daquan, out of the room.

In fact, Jing Yan could also sense that Liu Xiaoyue seemed to have feelings for him, but the burden on his shoulders was too heavy. Cultivation was currently his most important task. Other matters would have to wait until he avenged his grandfather.

So, he could only be heartless and pretend not to notice.

Outside Blackwind Town, the Tianlang Gang's stronghold.

The Tianlang Gang's base was not in Blackwind Town but about ten miles away.

The Tianlang Gang was indeed a giant in this region, and ordinary families or forces absolutely dared not provoke them.

This force had a considerable number of high-level martial artists, especially the three leaders, whose strength was formidable, each at the Ninth Heaven of Martial Dao.

It was no wonder the Tianlang Gang could dominate Blackwind Town.

"Big Brother, you called us?"

In a luxurious room in the stronghold, two male martial artists quickly walked in and asked the bald man sitting in the room.

"Yes, the Liu Family has sent a message!" The bald man, the leader of the Tianlang Gang, named Miao Yue, glanced around, his eyes narrowing as he spoke coldly.

"That fatso Liu Daquan?" The tall, thin man in black eyes widened. He was the second leader, named Huang Bing.

"Humph, that fatso is despicable, daring to take advantage of our Tianlang Gang. Big Brother, you shouldn't have stopped me. I say we should have killed the entire Liu Daquan family a month ago, leaving no one alive!" The red-clothed man, exuding a violent aura, shouted. He was the third leader, named Shan Xiong.

"Third Brother, how many times have I told you to use your head in everything you do? With your temper, even if you are strong, you will eventually die at the hands of a stronger martial artist. I called you here to tell you that the Jing Family, a prominent family from Donglin City, has sent someone to the Liu Family. They have already arrived," Miao Yue glared at Shan Xiong. His third brother was straightforward and had no guile, always resorting to violence. He didn't realize that even in a gang, one needed to use their head.

Although Blackwind Town was just a town, it was backed by the Moonlight Forest, where strong people often appeared.

The Tianlang Gang, though powerful, would face a catastrophic disaster if they provoked a先天 realm expert.

Hearing Miao Yue's words, Huang Bing and Shan Xiong's faces turned slightly serious.

"Just now, Liu Daquan sent a messenger to inform us that both sides will negotiate at noon tomorrow to see how to resolve this matter," Miao Yue paused slightly, his eyes flashing with a ruthless glint.

In fact, if it weren't for Liu Daquan's prominent family connection, he wouldn't have waited for over a month. He would have already forced the Liu Family to give up the mine. If the Liu Family refused to give up the mine, he would have eliminated them.

Because Liu Daquan had previously spread the news that he had sought help from a prominent family in Donglin City and that the family had sent someone, Miao Yue had been patient until today.

Although he didn't fully believe Liu Daquan, he was afraid of any unforeseen circumstances. If he had recklessly eliminated the Liu Family and the prominent family really sent someone, it would be disastrous for the Tianlang Gang.

It was said that the Jing Family was one of the largest families in Donglin City.

Miao Yue imagined the power of the prominent families in Donglin City; such behemoths were absolutely not something a small Tianlang Gang could contend with.

Now, the Jing Family had actually sent someone to Blackwind Town, and he had to be cautious. He must confirm the identity of the person first.

"Big Brother, what do you plan to do?" The second leader, Huang Bing, asked in a low voice.

Involving a prominent family, things couldn't be handled so casually.

"I have already sent people to gather information in the town to see what the prominent family's envoy looks like. Second Brother, send someone to inform Liu Daquan to come to our stronghold for the negotiation at noon tomorrow," Miao Yue said without hesitation, clearly having a plan before Huang Bing and Shan Xiong arrived.

"Big Brother, if the Jing Family's envoy makes excessive demands, will we keep retreating? If we compromise, how will we survive in Blackwind Town?" Shan Xiong rolled his eyes and said loudly.
