Change the plan?
The Mad Daoist cast a puzzled look at him.
“Why do we have to change it?”
!!
“Oh, it’s like this. I just received guaranteed information from a friend. Zhao Hanshan of the Panlong family has found the heavens’ emissary, Dongfang Bubai, through some unknown channel. The day after tomorrow, Dongfang Bubai will help the Panlong family guard the ancestral grave during their ancestral worship ceremony. As such, we have to re-plan,” Lin Wudao said seriously.
What was that? The Panlong Family had invited Dongfang Bubai?
Upon hearing this, the Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu instantly frowned.
“Is your information true?”
“Of course. To be honest, Dongfang Bubai is also my friend. Since he wants to protect the ancestral grave of the Panlong family during the ancestral worship ceremony, I still have to give him some face. Therefore, let’s move the operation to another time…”
Dongfang Bubai was his friend?
As soon as he said this, the Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu instantly turned their shocked gazes to Lin Wudao. Their expressions were extremely strange.
“Brother Ren, is the heavens’ emissary Dongfang Bubai the same person as Dongfang Bubai who knocked open the five Heavenly Gates and walked to the end of the Path to Heaven?”
“Uh… Well, I’m not too sure. I only know the heavens’ emissary, Dongfang Bubai. As for whether they are the same person, I don’t know either.”
Lin Wudao spread his hands.
Hearing this, the Mad Daoist instantly looked regretful.
“Since Dongfang Bubai is your friend, he is also our friend. This time, we will give him some face and change the time. In any case, it doesn’t matter when we dig the grave,” The Mad Daoist said indifferently.
However, Qin Daofu frowned.
“Old lunatic, Brother Ren, what about my business deal? I’ve already promised Zhao Zichen that I’ll help him resist the patriarchs of the Panlong Family during the ancestral worship ceremony. If Dongfang Bubai were to interfere, wouldn’t I have to fight with him?”
At this point, his expression darkened.
In response, Lin Wudao smiled.
“Boss Qin, your business and Dongfang Bubai’s business are not in conflict. He won’t affect you.”
“Oh? What do you mean?”
“During the ancestral worship ceremony, Dongfang Bubai is only going to help the Panlong family to protect their ancestral grave. As long as you don’t dig up the ancestral grave, why would you have a conflict with Dongfang Bubai? According to the agreement between you and Zhao Zichen, digging up the ancestral grave is Zhao Zichen’s business. You’re only responsible for resisting the Panlong family’s patriarchs. What does this have to do with you? You just have to do your thing. Even if something happens, it’s Zhao Zichen’s fault.” Eh? That’s right!
Hearing this, Qin Daofu’s eyes lit up.
“If that’s the case, Zhao Zichen will be screwed. Hehe…”
“Hmph, why do you care about him? Do as much as you get paid. Actually, this is good too. We can earn more money from Zhao Zichen. If he doesn’t succeed the first time, he will definitely make a second move,” The Mad Daoist chuckled.
“By the way, Brother Ren, will Dongfang Bubai always guard the ancestral grave of the Panlong family, or will it only be on the day of the ancestral worship ceremony?”
“Only that day. After that day, we can do whatever we want. Moreover, Dongfang Bubai will not take on any requests from the Panlong family in the future,” Lin Wudao said indifferently.
Hearing this, the Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu both nodded in satisfaction.
“Okay, then it’s decided. Oh right, Brother Ren, please communicate with your friend Dongfang Bubai. Don’t run into Qin Daofu and cause a misunderstanding.”
“Alright.”
Lin Wudao nodded.
After saying that, the three of them discussed the details for some time before they each left.
The Panlong Family.
Zhao Hanshan and Qi Zhentian brought Zhao Qinlong and Qi Qingyu back safely.
“Old ancestor, you’re back!”
Seeing that everyone had returned safely, Zhao Tianxiong heaved a sigh of relief.
His heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally relaxed at this moment.
However, in contrast to his joy, Zhao Hanshan’s expression was extremely ugly, and there was even a fierce glint in his eyes.
This scene caused Zhao Tianxiong’s heart to tremble. He didn’t know what had happened this time, but it definitely wasn’t good.
“Zhao Tianxiong, you stay here. The rest of you, leave. Without my permission, no one is allowed to take a step near the Lingyun Hall.”
“Yes, sir.”
Seeing Zhao Hanshan’s unsightly expression, everyone immediately bowed.
Soon after, apart from Zhao Tianxiong, all the clansmen tactfully withdrew from Lingyun Hall.
“The Panlong family has a bastard!”
What? A bastard?
Zhao Tianxiong was at a loss.
“Patriarch, you mean…”
“Humph, what I meant was that the mastermind behind the kidnapping of Zhao Qinlong and Qi Qingyu was someone from the Panlong family. Someone hired Qin Daofu from the Wicked Trio.”
What was that? Someone from the Panlong family?
Hearing this, Zhao Tianxiong turned pale with fright.
“Old ancestor, this… How is that possible…”
“How is it impossible? Qi Zhentian and I saw and heard the conversation between Qin Daofu and the mastermind with our own eyes. How can it be fake? Other than that, they are also preparing to dig up the ancestral grave of the Panlong family on the day of the ancestral worship ceremony.”
What? They even wanted to dig up their ancestral graves?
Zhao Tianxiong was even more horrified. His expression turned ugly.
“Patriarch, Qin Daofu belongs to the Wicked Trio. I’m afraid he won’t be easy to deal with.”
“Don’t worry, I have my countermeasures. I’ve already found a mysterious person to help me. With him around, we can definitely deal with the Wicked Trio. Now, I still lack some gifts…” Zhao Hanshan said in a low voice.
“May I ask what is the gift?”
“Ten corpses of Heaven Capture realm powerhouses.”
Corpses?
Hearing this, Zhao Tianxiong and Qi Zhentian looked at each other, unable to understand what it meant.
“It means that the mysterious helper I found seems to have a special interest in corpses. He wants me to offer ten corpses of Heaven Capture realm powerhouses as sacrifices. At that time, he will help us protect the ancestral graves,” Zhao Hanshan explained.
Collecting corpses? Was there such a strange hobby in this world?
The expressions of Zhao Tianxiong and Qi Zhentian became even stranger.
“Patriarch, what should we do next?”
“Collect corpses, of course. I’m going to call all the patriarchs of the Panlong Family over to hunt for powerhouses of the Heaven Capture realm or the powerful mutant beasts in the Myriad Great Mountain Range. With our strength, it shouldn’t be too difficult for us to gather ten Heaven Capture realm corpses in the next two days,” Zhao Hanshan voiced his thoughts.
His words received the approval of Zhao Tianxiong and Qi Zhentian.
“I’ll go and invite the old ancestors over now.”
As he spoke, Zhao Tianxiong immediately left Lingyun Hall.
“This time, I will lend a hand,” Qi Zhentian also expressed his stance.
“Thank you so much.”
Zhao Hanshan looked at him gratefully.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Zhao Tianxiong’s actions were fast.
Not long after, he invited all the patriarchs of the Panlong family who were in seclusion over.
After Zhao Hanshan explained the situation, they left three Heaven Capture realm patriarchs to guard the residence while the rest left the Panlong Ancient City as quickly as possible.
This time, the place they chose was the Myriad Great Mountain Range.
It was obvious that they were going to hunt mutant beasts. “The patriarchs of the Panlong family have moved out? In that case, won’t the family’s defense be extremely weak? If an enemy attacks at this time, wouldn’t that be…”
In a hidden place, Zhao Zichen looked at the backs of Zhao Hanshan and the others as they left and laughed strangely.
His handsome face was filled with evil.
Whoosh!
After returning to his room, he immediately changed his body shape and appearance, then disappeared from where he was. When he reappeared, he was already at the Myth Inn..
