"The Luo family made their fortune in Taotie City by using ill-gotten gains. I am ashamed to be associated with them."
"Mr. Qiao, I have captured this villain. I wonder what should I do with him?"
Qiao Mu did not answer immediately, but looked at Chen Gongfeng meaningfully and asked:
"You... know me?"
Chen Gongfeng pulled the corners of his mouth, and his smile was a little stiff:
"The Qiao family hates evil as much as they hate hatred, and they value righteousness over life and death. Who in the martial arts world of Kyushu doesn't know this reputation?"
"The people of Southwest Province have lived in the mountains for a long time and are ignorant. They don't know how big the martial arts world is, but I do know."
"Half a year ago, when I was in the capital of Zhongzhou, I met a senior from the Qiao family."
"Since then, I have secretly admired the Qiao family and have longed for them... Meeting Mr. Qiao today can be regarded as fulfilling one of my life's long-cherished wishes."
Qiao Mu originally felt that this person only looked slightly familiar, but now, after listening to him talking about this and that and flattering him for a long time, he finally recalled an event that happened in the imperial capital.
"Are you... the worshipper of Wan Ronghua of the Wan family?" Qiao Mu asked.
After reaching the second level of soul refining, a warrior's memory becomes extremely good, and he can remember everything he sees. Not to mention things that happened half a year ago, even trivial things from childhood can be vividly recalled in his mind as long as he recalls them carefully.
After these words came out, Chen Gongsheng's expression changed slightly.
In his opinion, the Qiao family member in front of him was naturally different from the assassin who died in Wan Ronghua's house.
The Qiao family follows the ancient principle of blood revenge. If a younger generation encounters an unexpected disaster or dies, the older generation will soon take action.
Now that the Qiao family members in front of him recognized him, did it mean... that he was once on the Qiao family's revenge list
"I am no longer the Wan family's priest." Chen Gongfeng said:
"That's right. After witnessing the death of the Qiao family that night, I finally came to my senses and parted ways with the Wan family..."
Chen Gongfeng was originally from Southwest Province, and his martial arts skills were at the second level of spiritual cultivation.
The saying that he could easily get the position of a general with his military ability is actually a way of flattering himself and increasing his own value.
The difference between a general with real power and a general with only a few titles is huge.
Theoretically speaking, as long as one is a top-three-grade martial artist, he has a hope of becoming a powerless general.
There was only one reason why he entered the Luo family as a servant: they gave him too much.
"Mr. Qiao, it's up to you to decide what to do with this villain." Chen Gongfeng asked sincerely again.
It can be seen that Chen Gongfeng is indeed sincere and he humbles himself in front of the Qiao family.
Naturally, this scene was extremely disconcerting to the Luo family members.
The outsider priest hired by their clan in the past acted like a master, and even the clan leader had to be polite to him.
However, he did not expect that in front of the distinguished guest brought by the traveling merchant Luo Cheng, Chen Gongfeng's expression completely changed.
In fact, Chen Gongfeng was also secretly complaining in his heart.
The stupid ones are afraid of the arrogant ones, and the arrogant ones are afraid of the desperate ones.
The Qiao family has always been fearless. In the past, the Wan family in the imperial capital also did not take the Qiao family seriously. Later, they paid the price in blood and directly replaced the head of the family.
Facing such a hot-blooded warrior, any power and money are of little use.
Once you get involved, it's like getting psoriasis and it won't stop until you die.
The best way to deal with the Qiao family is not to provoke them.
So Chen Gongfeng decisively gave in and had no intention of confronting the Qiao family at all.
"I want to get the details of the Golden City and the Philosopher's Stone from him." Qiao Mu said directly.
"What's so difficult about this?" Chen Gongfeng chuckled twice, then stretched out his hand and pried up the fingers of the Luo family leader one by one, and said in a deep voice:
"Patriarch Luo, you are about to die, do you know that? Why don't you tell us what happened?"
"Hiss..." The sharp pain on his fingers made the head of the Luo family grit his teeth. He endured the pain and said:
"Let's go into the inner room and discuss this in detail... This matter is of great importance and we can't let too many people know about it."
After saying this, he turned around and scolded the many clansmen in the ancestral hall: "What are you looking at? Disperse."
The Luo family members looked at each other and watched Qiao Mu, the clan leader, and Chen Gongfeng enter the house.
These mountain people don’t know the reputation of the Qiao family, but Chen Gongsheng’s deterrent power is quite sufficient among them.
Unable to resist and being scolded by the clan leader, these people could neither advance nor retreat and could only wait outside the ancestral hall.
far away.
Yu Wang Qingli looked at this place silently, and was amazed in his heart.
"This super warrior turned out to be a member of the Qiao family who assassinated Emperor Yonghe and fought against Emperor Taizu?"
The Qiao family is well-known, and Qing Li, as the top warrior ranked first on the strength list, must have heard of them.
"The Qiao family is well-known for their hatred of evil. I'm sure they are in the room discussing how to deal with the Luo family."
Thinking of this, Qing Li even felt a little ashamed.
Compared with the famous and righteous Qiao family, she, the "Feather King", a vanguard of the immortal sect with blood on her hands, felt that she was a little pale in comparison.
"Perhaps it would be better for the Qiao family to handle this matter rather than for me to step in."
This thought flashed through Qing Li’s mind.
... ..
In the meeting hall inside the ancestral hall.
Chen Gongsheng didn't look very happy and was sweating profusely from busy work.
Things turned out to be beyond his expectations.
The head of the Luo family seems to be a stubborn person. Even in the current situation, even when Chen Gongsheng used the eyewitness technique to shock his mind, he still gritted his teeth and refused to give in.
He pretended to give in before, apparently just because he didn't want to lose face in front of his tribesmen.
"This matter concerns the livelihood of our Luo family. There are more than a thousand mouths to feed. Do you think intimidation will work?"
"Mr. Chen, I didn't expect you to collude with outsiders to put on such a good show... I guess I let the wolf in."
"I am a person of faith. My belief is my strength. Don't try to force me to submit!"
No matter how Chen Gongsheng threatened or tempted him, the head of the Luo family was determined not to give in.
In the end, even Chen Gongfeng was helpless.
"These mountain folks have some knowledge, but not much." Chen Gongsheng shook his head.
They are all frogs in a well, and they have no respect for the eagle in the sky. After all, frogs in a well have limited knowledge and even find it difficult to understand the existence of an eagle.
Qiao Mu said, "Since you can't pry his mouth open, then there's no need to pry. Occasionally there are people with such a bad temper in this world."
Fists can solve 99% of problems, and Qiumu has always been successful in this way.
But this time, he actually ran into a wall in front of the head of the Luo family in the mountains
I have to say, these people who are involved in the gold business are really awesome.
"This Luo family leader seems to really believe his talk about the Golden Country?"
Qiao Mu picked up a piece of gold, squeezed it with his hand, and was amazed.
This thing is really not a trick. With his eyesight, he can't tell the difference between this golden land gold and real gold.
"Since the clues have ended here... Wuchang, can you find the location of the monster behind the Golden City from this gold?"
Qiao Mu asked the demon cat Wuchang to sniff carefully, but it also failed.
There is too much human popularity on these golds. Even Wuchang, who is a transformed cat demon, can only judge the existence of demons behind them, but cannot find the location of the demons based on this.
"Since the clues are broken, we can only use our brains to think of other ways."
Qiao Mu thought seriously for two seconds, and suddenly felt his head itchy, as if he was going to grow a brain...
“There is a way.”
"Anyway, let's talk to them first. I don't believe that we can't pry open the mouths of others."
... ..
Qing Li, who was secretly observing from a distance, was confused to see Qiao Mu rushing out with his fists raised and starting beating up the Luo family members outside the ancestral hall.
Her eyes widened unconsciously and she felt unwell.
"How can he, a super martial artist, have the nerve to attack ordinary people like this?"
At this moment, the upright character of the Qiao family seemed to collapse in her heart.
With the strength and means of a super martial artist, there are ten thousand ways to deal with ordinary people.
Qiumu chose the most direct way: hitting with fists.
This really opened Qing Li's eyes... It could be said that it directly refreshed her understanding of the Qiao family.
About a quarter of an hour later.
After checking everyone's situation, Qiumu returned to the meeting hall feeling refreshed.
"Although I feel better... But these guys in the gold business are really awesome, I really can't get anything out of them."
Qiao Mu was also a little troubled this time.
All the gold in the Golden Land came from the hands of the patriarch. The others had no direct contact with the Golden Land, so even if they were beaten, they knew nothing about it.
Of course, it’s not entirely without gain.
Qiao Mu slapped a large bag of gold from the Golden Country on the table in the meeting hall, and took out a fist-sized gray stone from the bag.
This golden stone is a little special. It looks like stone, but it has complex and implicitly regular patterns on it. It is not an ordinary stone.
Although Qiao Mu did not find out the location of the Golden City, he successfully searched out a touchstone owned by the Luo clan and hundreds of taels of "gold".
The head of the Luo family is really tight-lipped. No secrets can be gotten out of him, and the clues are gone.
But the touchstone is in my hand, so how should I start to check
Qiao Mu's eyes fell on the face of the Luo clan leader, as if he was thinking about something.
For a martial artist who cultivates his spirit, fighting is no longer just a competition of internal energy, physical strength, and martial arts moves.
Every confrontation is also a confrontation of minds and wills.
Therefore, warriors like the Sword Ghost who are good at visual swordsmanship often use psychological tactics in battle.
If fists are not effective against an opponent, look for the flaws in his mind and attack his heart.
For example, when Qiao Mu dealt with the King of Qin, he was able to survive even after his golden body was broken. However, after his mind collapsed, he died immediately.
An idea gradually came to Qiao Mu's mind. He picked up a piece of gold and pointed it into a sword.
Invisible energy gathered at the fingertips and formed into a short sword shape, slashing across the gold.
He began to carve impromptu on the gold, imitating the intricate patterns on the philosopher's stone.
This was actually the first time Qiumu had done anything like carving.
When he was practicing martial arts in his dream, he was holding an iron spear and carving patterns on tofu.
With his current martial arts skills and muscle control ability, carving tofu is a piece of cake for him, and it is naturally easy for him to carve gold with the Qi sword today.
His hands were extremely steady and he carved very quickly.
But in just a moment, the pattern of a strange beast appeared on the piece of gold in his hand.
"My carving skills are pretty good. Could it be that I have a talent for carving?"
Qiao Mu was a little amused and helpless.
After practicing martial arts for seven hundred years, his aptitude was only average. Now he discovered that he seemed to have a good talent in carving and he could learn it very quickly. Could it be that he added the wrong skill points
"Mr. Qiao, what are you doing?" Chen Gongsheng beside him asked in confusion.
After interrogating for a long time, Qiao Mu started carving gold here
Although his skill in using the Qi sword is truly amazing, isn't it the wrong occasion
"Have you heard of Taotie Gold?" Qiao Mu said confidently:
