Jingwu Association.
Headquarters.
Tea House.
"What did you say? Li Chuan went to the Treasure Pavilion again? Old Mr. Wang was very respectful to him?"
Upon hearing this news, Xu Wenbin's hand trembled, and he dropped his teacup directly on the ground.
To ordinary people, the Treasure Pavilion is just a place for buying and selling antiques.
But only those who mingle in the Jianghu, especially those with a certain status, know how terrifying the energy of the Treasure Pavilion truly is!
Especially that Wang Yifeng. Despite his cheerful appearance, his identity is extrely frightening!
As for how terrifying it is, Xu Wenbin doesn't quite understand either, but he knows that several prominent figures in the provincial capital must greet Wang Yifeng respectfully and address him as Old Mr. Wang.
If Li Chuan was only close to the Zhou Family, Xu Wenbin felt he couldn't compete against the power behind Fang Daochang.
However, now Li Chuan is also connected to Wang Yifeng of the Treasure Pavilion!
This made him find it quite unbelievable.
"Who is this kid, to have Old Mr. Wang show him such respect?"
"He's only been in the provincial capital for such a short ti... Who knows what other ans this guy might have?"
"Moreover, just the power behind the Treasure Pavilion is not weaker than the power behind Fang Daochang. If they were to really make a move..."
After pondering for a while, Xu Wenbin showed a helpless smile: "I was careless, underestimated this guy too much. If I had known earlier, I would have agreed to his condition of a fifty-fifty split. Now, seeking him, I can only discuss a one-ninth split..."
Thinking of this, Xu Wenbin felt he had suffered a great loss!
However, on second thought, Xu Wenbin quickly regained his balance, because if he cooperated with Li Chuan, he could unify the underground forces of the provincial capital and connect with major powers like the Treasure Pavilion and Zhou Family, which is far more important than the market!
Thinking of this, Xu Wenbin knew he couldn't wait any longer. He imdiately picked up the phone, dialed a number, and adjusted his tone: "Mr. Li, I want to cooperate with you!"
"Just like you said, you take nine, I take one!"
Li Chuan: "You take care of the Wild Wolf Gang, and I'll handle Fang Daochang."
"Yes!"
...
At this mont, Li Chuan was strolling around the Antique City.
He wanted to try finding so treasures.
As his gaze was drawn to a Jade Ruyi, his phone rang again. He took it out and saw it was a call from Zhou Ruolan.
"Li Chuan, where are you? Co quickly to No. 18 Dongxing Lane, sothing happened to Zhuang Bufan!"
"Okay! I'm on my way. Right, bring the Thunderstruck Jujube Wood we prepared earlier when you go over."
Li Chuan was surprised when he received the call. He thought Zhuang Bufan would manage to hang on for a few days, but he didn't expect him to kick the bucket in just half a day!
He casually hailed a DiDi and rushed to No. 18 Dongxing Lane.
When he arrived at Dongxing Lane, several police cars were already parked at the entrance, and a cordon was set up, restricting entry. The Zhou Family had already sent people to wait for Li Chuan, and upon seeing him, they imdiately took him to the scene.
Zhuang Bufan's residence was in the middle of Dongxing Lane. As Li Chuan walked out, he could sll a very strong scent of blood.
When he reached the courtyard entrance, he could already see fresh blood slowly flowing out from within the courtyard, and this blood was black!
Walking into the courtyard, Zhuang Bufan's body lay on the ground, surrounded by blood. From his posture, it seed he had tried to escape but didn't succeed!
However, Zhuang Bufan's death was incredibly bizarre, and Li Chuan felt he wouldn't need to eat for the next few days!
His entire back was torn open from the middle, his spine was gone, and his internal organs were missing, leaving only the exposed skin and flesh!
Moreover, there were signs of gnawing on his body!
Zhou Ruolan couldn't bear to look, standing outside the courtyard early.
Zhou Wei, having seen much, was able to remain calm, although he didn't want to look at the corpse on the ground again: "Mr. Li, glad you're here. This situation is just too incredible!"
"After Zhuang Bufan arrived, our people kept an eye on him until he entered this small courtyard and didn't leave, nor did anyone enter."
"But, just half an hour ago, sothing happened!"
An aside from a middle-aged man, the captain of the police team, seeing Zhou Wei's respect towards Li Chuan, although he didn't know who Li Chuan was, he was still extrely courteous: "We examined the relevant surveillance, and indeed found no signs of anyone entering or leaving. The neighbors heard no sounds of fighting here; it seed... he died silently!"
At this point, the middle-aged policeman's face beca very serious. He was an experienced captain but had never encountered such a bizarre case!
Li Chuan nodded: "It's witchcraft."
The middle-aged policeman evidently had doubts about Li Chuan's statent, but after glancing at Zhou Wei, he didn't say anything further.
Because Zhou Wei was an old acquaintance, he had just briefly recounted the events happening to the Zhou Family to him.
Although it sowhat overturned his worldview, as an experienced detective, having seen so much, he wasn't too surprised.
Zhou Wei: "Mr. Li, this Zhuang Bufan was ultimately an outsider. If the opponent didn't know him before and had no contact, how did this happen?"
Li Chuan: "Actually, Nanyang witchcraft cos in many forms. The opponent could have killed Zhuang Bufan silently, yet they created such a commotion. It's the equivalent of challenging us!"
"The opponent is fearless, thinking we can't find him!"
"But he forgot sothing: the magic rises an inch, the Dao rises a yard!"
"By the way, where is the Thunderstruck Jujube Wood I asked you to prepare earlier?"
"Here." Zhou Ruolan approached with a piece of Thunderstruck Jujube Wood in her hand.
Li Chuan took it, dropped a few drops of blood on the ground, and used Lingxi True Qi to draw a few simple symbols on the Thunderstruck Jujube Wood.
The next mont, an incredible scene unfolded before everyone's eyes!
The Thunderstruck Jujube Wood began to levitate from the ground, slowly flying towards the southeast!
"Oh my God! Am I dreaming?"
The young policen nearby were all stunned!
Zhou Ruolan was also wide-eyed: "Is this...immortal technique?"
Back in Taohua Village, Li Chuan's actions seed normal, but upon arriving in the provincial capital, Zhou Ruolan found she barely recognized Li Chuan!
"It's not immortal technique, just a lost Daoist Tracking Technique."
Li Chuan soothed everyone, as this scene was indeed astonishing.
However, he hadn't spoken yet, but after saying this, the nearby police felt their scalp went numb even more!
