Chapter 209 Checks and Balances
When the first ray of morning light illuminates the ancient city, everything comes to life, and it is not just animals that are ready to move, but also people.
"Hey, have you heard that someone did see traces of Qingluo Beast in Honghu Mountain last night!"
"I heard that this Qingluo beast is weak due to the previous capture and fighting, and its combat effectiveness is even worse."
At the foot of the Red Lake Mountain, a large number of people have gathered since last night. They are now chattering in small groups.
"That's the Huo family over there, and the Lin family over there. These two families are not local forces in Dongyang City, but their strength cannot be underestimated."
"The leader of the team is the head of the family, both of whom are strong foundation builders."
Yu Changao stood next to Yu Changsheng, observing everyone with his peripheral vision while introducing Yu Changsheng in a low voice.
"oh?"
Yu Changsheng followed Yu Changao's gaze and saw that there were about six people from the Huo family in a group. The leader of the Huo family at the front was a middle-aged man, with long hair tied halfway up his waist, and a faint smile on his eyebrows. Evil Qi is at the middle stage of foundation building, and the other five are all at the ninth level of Qi refining.
As for the other side, there are also six members of the Lin family. The head of the family leads the team, and the configuration is the same as that of the Huo family. Except for the head of the family who is in the middle stage of foundation building, the rest are in the late stage of Qi refining.
While Yu Changsheng was secretly watching the people from his two families, the head of the two families also noticed Yu Changsheng. After frowning slightly, he smiled at Yu Changsheng and nodded in greeting.
Yu Changsheng was slightly surprised and nodded towards him as a greeting.
"It seems that these two guys don't know anything about me and are paying attention to me."
Yu Changsheng was thoughtful, and turned his eyes to the other side. A group of Tang family members were also there, led by the head of the family, Tang He. After looking at Yu Changsheng, he showed a gentle smile, looking very kind, and even took the initiative to leave. Come over.
"It must be Yu Changsheng. He is indeed a talented person. He is a good person among people. There may have been many misunderstandings before. If you are free, can you come to the mansion as a guest?"
Tang He said gently, laughing, and took the initiative to reach out his hand to Yu Changsheng. There was no sign of any disagreement between the two.
Yu Changsheng secretly sighed that this old guy was quite good at pretending. He responded with a gentle smile, stretched out his hand to shake Tang He's hand, and said with a smile:
"Master Tang, I am very grateful. I have offended you so much, please forgive me. If I have the opportunity another day, I will definitely come to apologize in person."
"Okay, then I congratulate my friend on a successful trip. If you need anything, just let me know."
Tang He smiled slightly, with a flash of deep meaning in his eyes. After retracting his hand, he nodded slightly to Yu Changsheng again, turned around and returned to the team.
When he turned his head, at an angle that Yu Changsheng could not see, a cold light appeared in his eyes and disappeared in a flash.
"That guy is Yu Changsheng. It doesn't look easy for an old guy like Tang He to take him so seriously."
In the distance, the head of the Huo family and the head of the Lin family gathered together and looked at this scene with different expressions.
"Isn't he just a young boy? In my opinion, Tang He is afraid of Anping. Now he has no edge at all. He is still not suitable for Dongyang City."
The head of the Lin family curled his lips and showed slight disdain when he mentioned Tang He.
As outside forces in Dongyang City, the Lin family and the Huo family are actually closer than others think, and they are both joining forces to fight against the behemoth Tang family.
It's just that the Tang family is an old family in Dongyang City and has been rooted for a long time. Naturally, these two families cannot be easily moved. Now they can only barely fight against each other.
After all, the Huo family and the Lin family combined only have four high-end foundation-building combat capabilities, while the Tang family already has three.
"That's not what you said. You don't know how smart this old guy is, Tang He. How could he suffer so easily?"
The head of the Huo family shook his head and said slowly: "This guy, who is willing to release the news about the Qingluo beast, must be here to seduce Yu Changsheng."
"Obviously he has deep hatred, but he can still pretend to be so calm. It has to be said that Tang He's city is still very deep. I feel a little ashamed of myself."
The head of the Huo family was amazed, and the head of the Lin family also had a strange look on his face.
"I have inquired about it, this remaining longevity is not a simple matter. The inner disciple of Wanxiang Sect, the Eight Thousand Heavenly Ladder, and even the disciple of Yujian Peak, Huang Yayu, who has killed the third level of Foundation Establishment..."
The head of the Huo family swallowed a gulp of saliva, and when he thought about it, his eyes were full of disbelief.
"If anyone really treats him as an ordinary Qi refining disciple, then I am afraid he will suffer a big loss, and it is inevitable that Tang He will be so cautious."
"Really?" When the head of the Lin family heard this, his pupils shrank, a little unbelievable, and secretly surprised.
"Well, it can't go wrong. However, since Tang He dares to take action, he must be completely sure. Even though Yu Changsheng is amazing now, it is just a flash in the pan after all."
The head of the Huo family nodded, his eyebrows downcast, as if he was thinking about something.
"In that case, why don't we remind him? He can also check and balance Tang He for us."
The head of the Lin family's eyes flashed and he whispered.
"No need." Patriarch Huo shook his head with a faint smile on his lips.
"The Wanxiang Sect attaches great importance to its inner disciples, especially since this boy's master seems to be not simple.
You said, if Yu Changsheng dies at the hands of the Tang family, and we happen to have evidence..."
"When we report it to the Wanxiang Sect, will the Tang family still have a way to survive?"
After the Huo family leader said this, he turned to look at Lin Dawu family leader. The two looked at each other and smiled at each other.
"So, this Tang He thinks he is perfect, but in fact, his little thoughts have been guessed a long time ago. We don't need to worry about Yu Changsheng. On the contrary, if he really died in Tang He's hands, that would be a good thing .”
…………
Yu Changsheng didn't know what the two family heads were thinking. At this moment, he looked at Tang He's back, then looked down at the palms he held with him, and sneered in his heart.
"Does this guy think that I won't find out if he secretly left traces on me?"
Yu Changsheng shook his head secretly and wiped the right hand that had held Tang He's hand calmly, but did not erase the traces on it.
The function of this trace is also very simple. It is only used for tracking. It is very subtle and cannot be noticed by ordinary people. However, in front of Yu Changsheng's consciousness that is comparable to the golden elixir, these little tricks are naturally invisible.
In addition to the monks headed by the three major families, this place has naturally attracted many casual cultivators who came after hearing the news these days. Most of them are practicing Qi and only a few are building foundations.
Some are just low-level foundation building. The previous scene of Yu Changsheng and Tang He shaking hands and talking naturally fell in their eyes. For some reason, they were also quite concerned about Yu Changsheng.
Only two of the foundation-building casual cultivators had different looks in their eyes and sneered secretly.
