In the world of martial arts, grind your skill level to become a saint.

Chapter 149 Conspiracy

Yan Qishan, who had been shouting the loudest earlier, could only clutch his chest and sit awkwardly against the wall, looking at the figures outside the iron gate. He no longer had his previous arrogance and conceit, but rather a sense of fear.

The actions of these people earlier have already revealed their identities.

That man in black robes was a genuine Bone Forging Realm martial artist!

The powerful energy contained within his blood and qi struck his body with such violent and terrifying force that it was almost unbearable and unforgettable!

He had only sensed such formidable strength from the elders and his father in his family.

But that was just a normal display; it was nothing like the person who attacked him earlier, who really wanted to kill him!

Seeing that the most arrogant Yan Qishan had been subdued, all the young people around could only lower their heads and dare not look at the mysterious expert outside.

Although they came from wealthy families in the inner city, they all knew that in this world where strength reigns supreme, the weak must maintain awe when facing the strong, especially when they are being controlled, regardless of their status.

Because under such circumstances, regardless of your identity or background, if you are killed, then you are killed.

A person's background and social standing can sometimes be a shield, but it becomes useless when dealing with these desperate criminals.

"snort!"

Seeing that no one dared to utter a sound, the man in black withdrew his hand and said in a cold, emotionless tone, "Those of you who were captured here should all know why you're here. So until you've truly demonstrated your worth, you'd better stay put, unless you want to die!"

The man in black robes paused in his icy tone, then continued, "You can try to escape, and we don't mind killing a few more as an example. Whether we catch one or a group, it's all the same! We won't miss any of you!"

After saying that, several men in black robes outside the iron bars pulled a mechanism rope outside the door, and the iron cage inside immediately cracked open from the ground, and the entire iron cage slowly fell to the ground.

Inside the iron cage were Yan Qishan and his group, who had been imprisoned previously.

As they watched the ground slowly close up again, returning to its previous state, one of the men in black robes pulled down his mask, revealing a somewhat haggard face.

It was none other than Liu Chongshan.

"These past few days, the Yan family has practically turned the entire city of Yanshan upside down!"

The others also pulled off their masks, looked at the closed ground, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Anyway, we'll be leaving in a few days. Our mission will continue as usual. These guys, at least until the two alliances officially go to war, must not be exposed!" Liu Chongshan said solemnly.

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The people imprisoned here are related to the future survival of all of them.

Therefore, naturally no one would be careless or negligent.

After exchanging a few more words and information, the group leaped away from the courtyard and quickly disappeared from sight.

Su Hao walked along the inner city streets, watching groups of people dressed in martial arts uniforms pass by from time to time. His gaze would fall on these people for a moment before he looked away.

He noticed that these figures dressed in martial arts uniforms all had the character "严" printed on their backs, which suggested that they must all be related to linguists!

"It seems things are far from over."

Su Hao watched the Yan family's martial arts team walk away into the distance, shook his head, and then stepped into the Golden Jade Pavilion.

After observing for the past two days, he noticed that the entire inner city was gradually becoming tense.

From the moment he enters or leaves the inner city, his identity is now checked and he needs to obtain an entry and exit permit.

However, this matter was not difficult for him. He simply gave some silver, found an official in charge of processing documents, and got it done quickly.

This also allows Su Hao to still enter and exit the inner and outer cities smoothly without getting into trouble.

In addition to discovering that the activities of the Inner City Martial Arts Alliance were becoming more and more frequent, Su Hao also discovered that the Yue Shan Boxing Gym still showed no signs of opening.

He had been there several times in the past two days, and each time he only saw some senior students cleaning, but no one else.

It seems that the matter with Master Liu has not yet been resolved.

However, on his way to the boxing gym these few times, he encountered his senior sister Liu Jun again.

This time, Liu Jun was not as unreasonable as before, but he still harbored resentment towards him.

Upon seeing his arrival, Liu Jun quickly drove away in his carriage without even saying goodbye.

However, Su Hao didn't really care about this cheap senior sister.

When the other party came to him out of the blue and demanded that he leave with her, threatening to use force if he refused, Su Hao had a very bad impression of this senior sister ever since.

It could even be described as utter disgust.

Now that the matter is over, Su Hao is too lazy to care too much. As long as the other party stops causing trouble, it's none of his business!

As Su Hao entered Jin Yu Ge, he easily made his way to the second floor. Just as he was about to follow the waiter to the private room, a familiar figure walked out from inside.

Those are Mu Bai and Wang Yan!

Su Hao hadn't expected to see these two in this place.

The two of them also saw Su Hao. They were slightly taken aback at first, and then their expressions became somewhat strange.

Keep in mind, this is the inner city, and it's in a place like Jin Yu Ge, which is considered a high-end restaurant in the entire inner city.

Why is Su Hao here?

Even though Su Hao now possesses the strength of the Iron Mirror Realm and his position as a temporary official is quite lucrative, he is still far from being able to afford to spend money in a place like the Golden Jade Pavilion.

After a brief standoff, both sides nodded slightly to each other without saying anything more, and then walked past each other.

"—This guy's really arrogant these days, isn't he? He doesn't even greet his senior brothers when he sees them outside?"

In front of a rather elegant-looking private room, Mu Bai turned back to look at Su Hao's disappearing figure around the corner, a shadow of gloom flashing in his eyes.

However, he still had a smile on his face and said softly.

"With power comes arrogance, but let him be arrogant, what does it have to do with us?"

Wang Yan patted Mu Bai on the shoulder and laughed, "Besides, how long can he be so arrogant? Master Liu's fate is unknown, and we don't know if he will come back. When he loses Yue Shan Boxing Gym as his backer, a mere Iron Mirror martial artist will be crushed with a single finger if he gets involved."

"That's true, but seeing him like this is really annoying—" Mu Bai shook his head. "And that idiot Zhou Zhengtang, he thinks he's so smart, little does he know that his Zhou family has already fallen into a trap, just waiting for them to jump in!"

"Yes! Everyone who considers themselves smart thinks they can control everything, but in the end they're nothing but a clown!"

Wang Yan smiled faintly, "Forget it—let's get back to business. Now that Tang Huang has joined the Ironclad Martial Arts School, we can find a time to meet with him. After all, we're not from the same school, so we'd have to sacrifice our fraternal relationship. Besides, such a good pawn is perfect for luring Liu Jun into a trap—"

Upon hearing this, Mu Bai's eyes lit up.
