Looking at Huang Lun and others leaving, Shi Mowan’s pretty face turned pale, and trembling with anger, she exclaimed, “I must report to the police, to warn him!”
Seeing Shi Mowan actually about to take out her mobile phone, Ying Xiuyun hurried forward to stop her, anxiously saying, “Sister Mu Wan, these people belong to a gray or even dark world, reporting them won’t help at all!
At most, they’d be detained for a month under the charges of verbal insult or libel, but this would only provoke them further.
Once they’re released, they might resort to even more ruthless measures…”
Hearing this, Shi Mowan’s movements stiffened, and her face slightly paled, revealing a frightful expression.
“Miss, she’s right, you’d better not call the police!
Generally, with these matters, the more you involve the police, the worse it becomes…”
At this point, Bai Hao also stepped forward, continuing to persuade.
He belonged to that world and knew it inside and out.
Ordinary people want to confront those people?
Even reporting to the police, the outcome wouldn’t be good!
But just as Bai Hao finished speaking, he finally noticed the young man sitting across from him, who was now smiling at him.
Bai Hao’s expression changed, and he hurriedly spoke.
But Lin Tian had already gestured with his hand and asked, “Who is this Teng Tianyou?”
Bai Hao glanced at Shi Mowan and Ying Xiuyun, hesitated for a moment, and then said, “He’s from the Black Spirit Platform.
Recently, we’ve had several frictions with them, almost leading to the involvement of the National Security Bureau!
Finally, after negotiations, Chairman Zhou was severely injured by their Guardian Lord!
Having no choice, we had to cede most of the territories to them!
Speaking of which, the underground structure of Bin City has changed completely now!”
The Silver Dragon Association has completely declined, and Black Spirit Platform just couldn’t stand the solitude and surfaced, huh!”
Lin Tian raised his eyebrows slightly, expressing his surprise.
“That’s right, Black Spirit Platform used to only deal in antiques and such specialized areas.
But they had many dens raided by the police before, suffered heavy losses, and many of their business lines were cut off, their smuggling networks that had been operating for decades shattered greatly.
In order to quickly recover their losses and consolidate power, they naturally had to quickly seek new sources of income!”
Bai Hao nodded, then explained, “The Silver Dragon Association left behind a lot of empty territories, and we originally already had most of them, but Black Spirit Platform also swiftly made moves.
Later, we didn’t expect their strength would be so formidable, not even Chairman Zhou could handle them!
Apart from Bin City, various branches in Southern Continent were also seized by them!
And other local powers have started coveting the Azure Dragon Association!”
Black Spirit Platform had many dens raided?
It seems to be the work done by An Ruofeng when she found clues and led a team there!
Lin Tian thought to himself, and finally asked, “This Guardian Lord, what’s his background?
His strength must be at least at the Martial Arts Grandmaster Level if even Zhou Li is no match for him!”
“I don’t know his background!
But his strength might be much greater than that of a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
Chairman Zhou couldn’t even make a move under his attack, just like…
a child trying to challenge him!”
Bai Hao took a deep breath, a trace of fear on his face, and sighed, “From the information we’ve gathered from various sources, we judge that this person is publicly a guardian of Black Spirit Platform, but he might actually be the real controller!
Black Spirit Platform might just be a minor force under him!”
Why didn’t Huang Jun inform me about this?”
Lin Tian nodded, then asked.
Huang both said, concerning the Guardian Lord, they forbade informing anyone else, many at the lower ranks of Azure Dragon don’t even know!
Huang didn’t inform you, probably not wanting you to get involved!
After all, that person is too powerful!”
Bai Hao gave a wry smile and shook his head, “Now, the Azure Dragon Association is truly in peril, many have already turned to Black Spirit Platform!
Lin, it’s better if you don’t get involved!”
It seems that after the college entrance examinations, I’ll give Huang Jun a call to clarify things!
At least the forces of Zhou Li and others have largely been whitewashed, and now their contributions to Bin City are still more significant than the negatives.
If Black Spirit Platform rises, many things might go wrong!
Thinking this, Lin Tian said no more, but instead said, “This is your restaurant, right?
Then go prepare some of the finest dishes for us!”
Bai Hao hurriedly responded and turned to leave.
“Lin Tian, do you know this person?
He seems to be very respectful towards you!”
After Bai Hao left, Shi Mowan looked at Lin Tian in surprise and asked.
“I helped him before, so he’s naturally grateful to me!”
Lin Tian did not explain further and casually replied.
Soon, the food arrived, all the best dishes from the restaurant, and the three of them ate quite happily.
However, during the meal, Ying Xiuyun seemed somewhat distracted.
Lin Tian didn’t pay much attention to it, as he had felt something was off about this girl from the start, but he guessed she might just have something on her mind and naturally wouldn’t bother to ask indiscreetly.
After the meal, Lin Tian and Shi Mowan parted ways, and Lin Tian made one last stop at Ning Hanyan’s place, only returning to Guanlan Mountain District after Ning Hanyan had satisfactorily graded a pile of test papers.
There were about twenty days left until the college entrance examination.
During the following half month, Lin Tian, besides rushing to school with Xu Tangge during the day, spent most of his other time practicing cultivation in the basement, slowly advancing his cultivation from the early stages of Qi Refining eleventh Level Heaven-defying Realm towards the later stages.
Meanwhile, he continued to practice and solidify techniques from the Immortal Martial Battle Technique, including Heavenly Punishment Technique, occasionally taking out some Dragon whisker he had obtained from an auction at Night Crying Island to refine.
Refining the Dragon whisker required caution and was extremely difficult; it was more supple and much harder to refine than Devil-like Xiaotian Wood Heart.
Nevertheless, Lin Tian was not in a hurry, setting aside a bit of time each day for refinement, progressing bit by bit.
With his studies and cultivation keeping him busy, Lin Tian had no time to inquire about Zhou Li and the Azure Dragon Association’s matters, at least not yet to the point where the sky was falling.
During this period, what surprised Lin Tian was that Zheng Han, a big figure from Guixi, had come from afar once again and brought him a pile of cultivation materials.
Although, as his cultivation body improved, these low-level materials were ineffective for him, he graciously accepted them.
Otherwise, Zheng Han wouldn’t be able to sleep well once he returned!
What surprised Lin Tian among the pile of materials was the discovery of a low-level spiritual medicine, Beast Roar Grass; though insignificant for his current cultivation, it suddenly excited him.
Chang Ying’s father’s medicinal herb base seems to be near there, could it be?
Now that I have obtained the Age Nether Fruit necessary for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, I must visit her family’s place after the entrance exam!”
Lin Tian murmured to himself while handling the Beast Roar Grass.
Time flowed like water.
With one week left until the college entrance exam, Lin Tian stopped his cultivation, fearing that diving too deep into practice might cause him to miss the exam.
That evening, Lin Tian decided to check on the Chongming District.
He hadn’t visited in the past half-month, and the whole district was in disarray; if Xi Zirong found out, he would have some explaining to do.
However, as soon as Lin Tian arrived at the district, he heard various shocked exclamations and noisy sounds coming from the villa complex.
When he entered, he saw a figure standing on the edge of the roof of the villa where Shangguan Xin lived, teetering as if preparing to jump.
“There’s someone trying to jump off the building!”
Lin Tian’s expression changed drastically, and he hurried over.
