"The Hai family?"
Li Hengsheng found the na sowhat familiar, but then he suddenly realized, he rembered that the person the Lu family initially arranged to marry Lu Qiaoqiao was soone from the Hai family, specifically the second son.
Because of this matter, Li Hengsheng had looked into the Hai family, and indeed, it was a prominent family.
The family had many Postnatal experts, and also had two Innate individuals.
One was the eldest son of the Hai family, Hai Dongsheng, and the other was the terrifying family ancestor, Hai Songtao.
Innate Perfection Realm.
He ruled over the entire Minghong State.
The family had a comrce association spread throughout Minghong State called Minghai Comrce Association.
You could say, if it was money they wanted, they had money; if it was power they needed, they had power.
"I’ve heard of them. Has anything major happened recently in Minghong State? Could it be related to this Hai family?" Li Hengsheng sat down, wanting to listen seriously to the latest happenings.
"The Hai family is destroyed; one could say the Hai family no longer exists." Lord Zhou’s words made Li Hengsheng’s eyes widen.
"Destroyed?" Li Hengsheng found it hard to believe. How could such a powerful family be extinguished?
"Yes, the ancestor of the Hai family, Hai Songtao, was killed."
Lord Zhou said with a smile, "You should understand, with Hai Songtao dead, those enemies that the Hai family once offended definitely wouldn’t let go of this golden opportunity; they all struck the Hai family, and the whole Celestial Water City was bathed in blood."
"The Hai family’s comrce association across Minghong State has also ceased to exist. The second son of the Hai family was slain on the way to assuming his position in Buhuo City. However, it’s heard that the eldest son managed to escape, and his whereabouts remain unknown, nobody knows where he went."
"But for an Innate powerhouse, it’s probably rather difficult to capture soone trying to escape."
"And our Zhou family capitalized on this event and gained so benefits. This Tiger Pill Wine of the Feathered Profound White Tiger was found from the Hai family in Celestial Water City. It’s said that Hai Songtao relied on this dicinal wine to enhance his muscle activity and slow down muscle aging, so it’s a valuable item."
Lord Zhou clicked his tongue and said, "Our Zhou family got three pots. I returned ho after finishing tasks outside and conveniently took one out, promptly coming to find you, old fourth, to drink together. How’s that? Third Senior Brother treats you well, huh, thinks of you first when there’s sothing good."
Li Hengsheng was still in shock over the Hai family’s destruction.
Such a powerful family, wiped out overnight.
Truly terrifying.
"Senior Brother, you just took the wine like that; won’t your father beat you?" Li Hengsheng looked at the pot of wine, couldn’t help but laugh.
"It’s just a pot of wine, what’s wrong with drinking a bit." Lord Zhou waved his hand and then, mysteriously said, "By the way, let tell you sothing you won’t believe—do you know who killed Hai Songtao?"
"To kill Hai Songtao, it must at least be an Innate Perfection powerhouse, perhaps even a Grandmaster who has reached the Innate Great Perfection Realm," Li Hengsheng guessed. "In Minghong State, who could kill Hai Songtao? Could it be a powerhouse from our Dao Mountain ancient land?"
"Actually, no." Lord Zhou shook his head. "The story seems to start with a comrce association called the Evergreen Comrce Association."
"Evergreen Comrce Association?" Li Hengsheng was stunned hearing the na of the association; it bore the sa na as his father’s, who was Li Changqing.
Li Hengsheng thought it was just a coincidence.
Then Lord Zhou briefly narrated the grievances between the Evergreen Comrce Association and Minghai Comrce Association.
The more he listened, the more peculiar Li Hengsheng’s expression beca.
"Senior Brother, you just ntioned this Evergreen Comrce Association was founded by a few small families?" Li Hengsheng asked in amazent, "And these families are from Changting Town?"
"Yes." Lord Zhou finished, stared off for a mont, and then, as if recalling sothing, returned a peculiar look to Li Hengsheng. "Old fourth, if I rember correctly, you’re from Changting Town, right? So, aren’t you very familiar with these families?"
"Yes, I am from Changting Town, and I know sothing about these families." Li Hengsheng felt extrely strange at this mont.
If the comrce association was founded by those families from Changting Town, why would they use his father’s na?
Evergreen Comrce Association?
How odd.
If it were a comrce association founded by people unrelated to Li Changqing, Li Hengsheng wouldn’t think much of it, but his father, Li Changqing, wasn’t he serving as a consecrated elder in the Yan family?
This was indeed perplexing.
Also, as per Li Hengsheng’s understanding, there was no Innate in Changting Town. The strongest three patriarchs should be Zhao Yiqiu, Bai Jingfei, and Yan Botao, all of whom were at the Postnatal Peak level.
Even if a clan leader of so family recently managed to break through to the Innate Realm, it wouldn’t be possible for them to kill Hai Songtao.
What on earth happened in Changting Town?
"Who knows, maybe, as the rumors say, there’s a hidden high master behind these small families." Lord Zhou waved his hand, "Why think so much? Co, let’s taste this Tiger Pill Wine of the Feathered Profound White Tiger. But isn’t just drinking a bit dull? Old fourth, why don’t you go ask Second Senior Sister for two Spirit Chickens to go with the wine?"
That said, Lord Zhou’s eyes were already twinkling.
Li Hengsheng couldn’t help but laugh, Lord Zhou had always had his eye on Second Senior Sister’s Spirit Chickens, no wonder he brought the wine to find him.
He wanted to freeload so chicken.
"Alright, Second Senior Sister has a hard enough ti raising those Spirit Chickens, let’s not think about them. I’ll buy so regular roast chicken for you to eat instead."
