Seeing Sha Zhan actually so spineless, kneeling and begging for rcy, Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er both had looks of contempt on their faces.
Then over there, Song Guangyi was bitten in the main artery by Dahuang and did not last long before he died.
Ye Lingyue waved her hand, and Little Zhiyo quickly lifted a piece of Xuantie, wobblingly walked over.
Sha Zhan and his n had salvaged about a hundred pieces of Xuantie Ore.
That is to say, there were still about nine thousand pieces of Xuantie Ore at the bottom of the water.
The Mountain and Sea Gang had been very cautious in keeping these Xuantie Ore, all in good condition.
"Ling Yue, that’s great. Now that we are sure those Xuantie Ore are at the bottom of the river, let’s salvage them overnight and retrieve the Xuantie Ore, and the crisis of the Ye Family will be averted," Lan Cai’er was overjoyed.
She thought that if she and Ling Yue could bring back ten thousand pieces of Xuantie Stone, her father and the people of the Ye Family would probably have their jaws dropped to the ground.
She wondered whether her father and Master Wen would continue to mock her for being brave but thoughtless.
"Sister Lan, would you like to achieve a great feat?" Ye Lingyue asked with a smile that did not reach her eyes.
"A great feat? Haven’t we already achieved a great feat? Ten thousand pieces of Xuantie Ore," Lan Cai’er said with a puzzled face.
"Retrieving the Xuantie Ore is rely our duty, not a great feat. But if we can eliminate a major problem for Li City, that would be different," Ye Lingyue said, glancing at Sha Zhan.
Hearing this, Sha Zhan’s eyelids twitched violently.
"You! What are you planning?" Sha Zhan had a very bad premonition. He suddenly felt that Song Guangyi’s quick death might have been the luckiest outco.
"Nothing much, I was just wondering what would happen to the Mountain and Sea Gang if they were suddenly found with so much Xuantie Ore overnight," Ye Lingyue said with a grin. Under the moonlight, her smile was as radiant as a dazzling flower.
Sha Zhan’s heart missed half a beat at the sight, but just then, Ye Lingyue flicked her fingertips, and sothing rolled into the belly of Sha Zhan.
"What did you make eat!" Sha Zhan was scared out of his wits; he knew that Ye Lingyue was a mber of the Alchemist Association.
"A poison refined with Viper Eggs, Young Master Sha. You better obediently do everything I ask of you from now on. Otherwise, once the poison acts up, not even immortals will be able to save you," Ye Lingyue still had that smiling expression, but her smile contained not a hint of warmth, only a bone-chilling coldness.
Lan Cai’er was shocked and thought to herself, gosh, we’re all born and raised by parents, but how co every idea Ling Yue cos up with is always on point, and she couldn’t even co up with a single thought?
No wonder her father and Master Wen always laughed at her.
Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er imdiately split up, with Lan Cai’er responsible for returning to Li City, coordinating with Governor Lan. As for Ye Lingyue, she took Sha Zhan and others to secretly carry out her "framing and incrimination" actions overnight.
Before dawn, a deafening sound of footsteps could be heard in the Mountain and Sea Gang.
Dressed in official robes, Governor Lan led a thousand soldiers, surrounding the Mountain and Sea Gang.
At this mont, the leader of the Mountain and Sea Gang, Sha Kuang, was lying on the belly of his seventh concubine, sleeping soundly. He heard the flas and the sound of footsteps outside, hastily pulled up his trousers, without even putting on his shirt, he rushed out of the room.
The Mountain and Sea Gang had already descended into chaos.
"Gang Leader, it’s terrible. Governor Lan brought a thousand troops, saying that the Mountain and Sea Gang has stolen the Ye Family’s Xuantie Ore, and they want to search the Mountain and Sea Gang," a gang mber stumbled in, running.
"Yet again Lan Yingwu, huh, didn’t you just search last ti? Now you’re searching again." Sha Kuang showed not a hint of surprise.
After all, the Xuantie Ore isn’t in the Mountain and Sea Gang, even if Lan Yingwu turns the entire place upside down, he won’t be able to find a single piece of Xuantie Ore.
"Sha Kuang, soone has reported that in the treasury of your Mountain and Sea Gang, ten thousand pieces of the Ye Family’s Xuantie Stone are hidden." Governor Lan walked in, surrounded by soldiers.
"Lord Governor, this is clearly a false accusation. You have searched my Mountain and Sea Gang several tis. If you fail to find the Xuantie Ore this ti, I will risk my life to plead my case in Imperial City and seek justice." Sha Kuang huffed coldly.
"Whether it’s a false accusation or not, we’ll know after the search," Governor Lan didn’t say much and with a wave of his hand, those guards charged in like tigers and wolves.
Although displeased, Sha Kuang didn’t dare to confront the governor who had already broken through to the Reincarnation Realm.
"Report! There are nine iron locks set up in the Mountain and Sea Gang’s treasury, impossible to break through," the guard returned promptly.
"Sha Gang Leader, you know what needs to be done, right?" Governor Lan eyed Sha Kuang with a slant, prompting the latter to very reluctantly take out the keys to the treasury and open its nine gates one by one.
As soon as the final gate was opened, Governor Lan and his behind soldiers were suddenly silent.
Without turning back, Sha Kuang spoke angrily.
"Governor Lan, you’ve seen it now, there is nothing inside but the accumulated wealth of my gang over the many years."
"Sha Kuang, why don’t you take a look for yourself?" Governor Lan sneered a few tis.
Upon hearing this, Sha Kuang hesitated and then turned his head.
Seeing the contents of the treasury, Sha Kuang’s eyes widened in shock.
How is this possible?
In the treasury were neatly piled ten thousand pieces of Xuantie Ore.
The luminance radiating from the Xuantie Ore lit up the entire treasury as if it were dayti.
"How can this be possible, these pieces of Xuantie Ore..." Sha Kuang’s mouth gaped wide enough to swallow an egg.
He couldn’t for the life of him understand why the ten thousand pieces of Xuantie Ore would appear in the treasury.
To make matters worse, all the gold, silver, jewelry, Elixir Pills, and Ore that were supposed to be in the Mountain and Sea Gang’s treasury were gone!
"Young Master Sha, perhaps you would like to say that these Xuantie Stones have grown feet and walked here from the bottom of Lishui River? Let Young Master Sha tell you about it himself." As Sha Kuang was at a loss for words, an abrupt voice accompanied two people walking in.
Leading the way was Ye Lingyue, with a tightly bound Sha Zhan at her side.
"You, Zhan’er, what’s all this about?" Sha Kuang looked incredulously at his own son.
"Help, Lord Governor, Father. This was all the conspiracy of this despicable little wench of the Ye Family. She planned to kidnap and even forced to take poison, threatening to find the spare key to the treasury. This despicable little wench moved all these pieces of Xuantie Stone into the treasury. I implore you, Lord Governor, to see through the deception and clear the Mountain and Sea Gang of this false accusation." That cunning brat, Sha Zhan, pretended to cooperate with Ye Lingyue all the way, but as soon as he saw his own father, he promptly turned and bit back at Ye Lingyue.
Governor Lan glanced at Ye Lingyue, then at the Sha father and son.
"Oh? Young Master Sha, are you certain that I alone moved all these Xuantie Ores here? How did I transport them? Who did I use?" Ye Lingyue was not flustered, her lips curling up slightly as she asked calmly.
