Li Tian's cheeks were puffed with anger, and he rushed out of the inn with his fists clenched, as if a gust of wind had swept through, bringing with it an invisible anger.

As soon as he showed up, several of his friends who were waiting outside rushed over to him, like a group of cats smelling blood, surrounding Li Tian and asking him questions.

"Brother Li, what's wrong? Your face is as green as a green pepper."

A tall and thin man made a joke with a wink, a gloating smile on his face.

"That's right, who has upset our Master Li again? Tell us, and we brothers will help you vent your anger!"

Another burly man patted his chest, his voice so loud that it seemed to break the sky.

Li Tian glared at them unhappily, and that look seemed capable of killing people.

"That Lu Yun, that lowly person, he... he actually dared not take me seriously!"

"What?! He dares?!"

When everyone heard this, their eyes widened as if they had heard a huge joke.

Li Tian was furious. He punched the tree trunk next to him hard. The leaves fell down with a rustling sound, and a concave fist mark was left on the trunk.

"Not only that, this morning, Uncle Zhao...Uncle Zhao..."

When he said this, he suddenly paused, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes, but they were quickly replaced by anger.

"Uncle Zhao...is gone!"

Li Tian uttered these words almost with gritted teeth, and each word was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart.

Everyone was in an uproar. You have to know that Butler Zhao held an important position in the City Lord's Mansion, and the news of his death was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.

"Brother Li, are you telling the truth? Butler Zhao..."

The tall and thin man swallowed and his voice trembled.

Li Tian took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but his eyes became more and more fierce.

"I have a feeling that Uncle Zhao's matter has something to do with Lu Yun."

"But Brother Li, according to what you said, how could a poor man, a beggar who can't even wear proper clothes, dare to touch Uncle Zhao?"

One of the younger brothers asked in confusion.

"Brother Li, we need to think about this matter carefully."

The sturdy man came forward and whispered.

"You and I both know that we can't do this openly. If word gets out that our brother Li teamed up with Uncle Zhao to deal with a lowly person because he didn't give us face, we would lose face."

Li Tian pursed his lips tightly, his eyes flickering.

"You are right. We have to do this quietly. I don't believe that a little Lu Yun can cause such a big stir."

Li Tian stood there, his back looked particularly heavy, and an oppressive aura emanated from his body, as if a dark cloud was pressing down on one's head, making it hard to breathe.

He knew that once the shrewd steward Han Lao of Duobao Pavilion learned about his feud with Lu Yun, not to mention his engagement with Han Qingqing, even his own position in the city would be shaken.

At this moment, although his heart was like a volcano about to erupt, he had to suppress all impulses on the surface so as not to alert the enemy.

"Hmph, Lu Yun, just wait. I, Li Tian, ​​will remember this account!"

He swore secretly in his heart, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The smile looked extremely distorted in the sunlight, like an evil ghost whose face was distorted by anger.

Seeing this, all the friends around wanted to come forward to talk to him, hoping to comfort him in the name of brotherhood.

One of the skinny little men just took a step forward and was about to speak when he met Li Tian's sharp gaze like a knife. He suddenly shuddered all over, as if frozen, and forcibly held back the words that were about to come out.

"Brother Li..."

He stuttered, and the second half of the sentence disappeared in his throat, because there was no trace of his usual cynicism in Li Tian's eyes, instead there was a bottomless chill and murderous intent.

"Don't even come here!"

Li Tian's deep voice revealed unquestionable majesty.

"I, Li Tian, ​​will handle my own affairs. This time, I want to let Lu Yun know what the price is for offending me."

He looked around and saw that the brothers who were usually so cheerful were now silent, no one dared to speak. Li Tian took a deep breath and had something in mind.

“Go, post a bounty for me on the black market.

"Li Tian uttered slowly, and each word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Whoever kills Lu Yun, I, Li Tian, ​​will personally pay five Originium stones!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.

You know, in this world where cultivation is respected, the value of source stone is comparable to the annual tax revenue of the mortal kingdom. Li Tian has undoubtedly invested a lot of money in this move.

"Five, five Originium?"

The burly man, who was usually the most reckless, showed a rare look of shock at this moment.

"Brother Li, this..."

Li Tian waved his hand, interrupting the strong man's question.

"Yes, five. As long as we can get rid of Lu Yun, no matter how much money is spent, it will not be a big deal. Remember, this matter must be carried out in secret, and no one can know that it was my order."

Li Tian's eyes were like frozen ice, revealing an unquestionable determination. He slowly glanced around, and that gaze seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, making people dare not look directly at it.

"Originium may be expensive, but compared to the hatred in my heart, it is nothing."

Li Tian's words were deep and powerful, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, containing an unshakable will.

“Brother Li, this Lu Yun is just a nobody, his aura is not even at the level of a Golden Immortal. What you are doing is a bit…”

A thin young man spoke cautiously, but before he finished speaking, he felt the air around him seemed to solidify, and an invisible pressure made him swallow involuntarily.

Li Tian suddenly turned around, his eyes like lightning, shooting directly at the younger brother, his tone cold.

"Get lost! What do you know? I, Li Tian, ​​swear today to avenge Uncle Zhao!"

There was an irrefutable arrogance in his words that made everyone gasp. The younger brother turned pale and quickly lowered his head, not daring to say anything more.

"Five Originiums in exchange for his head. If anyone thinks this is an exaggeration, just stand up!"

Li Tian's voice echoed in the air, with unquestionable determination.

His words revealed an unquestionable determination, an almost crazy obsession to achieve his goal at any cost.

The friends around him looked at each other, and then nodded. They knew that Li Tian was serious this time.

No one wants to be unlucky at this time, and no one wants to miss this opportunity to gain huge wealth.

"Don't worry, Brother Li, we'll do it right away."

The tall and thin man was the first to react. He nodded and bowed, then turned around to greet others. The group of people quickly dispersed and each got busy.

As everyone left, Li Tian stood alone, his hands clenched into fists, his nails deeply embedded in his palms, but he felt no pain at all.
