I am an authentic immortal, but I am a villain

Just like the four major families need to pay corresponding benefits to the Medicine King Pavilion every once in a while.

Only in this way can they continue to run their business in Yaoshi City.

Other second- and third-rate forces affiliated with the four major families also need to pay corresponding benefits in order to survive within the corresponding sphere of influence of the four major families.

Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp.

It's such a simple truth.

An elder who looked younger took the initiative to reply.

"Master, I don't think this matter is that simple.

The other party was able to destroy the Divine Fire Sect quietly, and the number of people who took action was not large.

Maybe it came from other external first-class forces, or even more powerful super-first-class forces.

Our Li family may not be able to provoke the other party."

The other elders also nodded secretly, thinking that this matter is indeed possible.

If the other party comes from a first-class or even super-first-class force outside Yaoshi City, then if the Li family is too entangled in this matter, it may become hostile to the other party.

But some elders don't care in their hearts.

"What the Sixth Elder said is a little inappropriate. Are we afraid of other first-class forces?

Even if the other party is a super first-class force, we have the Medicine King Pavilion behind us. Do we need to be afraid of them?"

As a first-class force, the Li family is not something that anyone can bully.

There is also the Medicine King Pavilion behind us. If the Li family really encounters any trouble, the Medicine King Pavilion will definitely not sit idly by.

Li Yao leaned back in his chair, supported his head with his right hand, and said casually.

"What the Sixth Elder said just now is indeed a problem we need to consider.

It is obviously not necessary to make enemies with the other party for the sake of a Divine Fire Sect.

However, we still need to do what we should do, at least to avoid criticism from outsiders.

As for what the Fourth Elder said just now, are we afraid or not?

This is not about fear or not, but there is no need to be so troublesome.

We should value peace and not always think about fighting and killing all day long. There is no need for this."

Since the head of the family has said this, then this matter has basically been completely settled.

At most, the Li family just put in some effort on the surface to show outsiders, but they were not prepared to do much.

Huo Xing probably never thought that the Li family, who treated him as their own father, would just pretend after they did not suffer any misfortune.

He didn't know if he would jump out of his grave and scold them.

The Li family was still taking action, but the force was much smaller.

On the surface, they made a lot of noise in the city, but in fact, they did not do anything specific.

As long as it was acceptable on the surface and no one else found out about it, it was enough.

Afterwards, Li Yao even went to the City Lord's Mansion specifically for this matter.

However, he did not go to the City Lord to explain their next move, but to take the initiative to explain the matter to the City Lord.

Give the City Lord some benefits and ask for help.

Two days later, they announced to the public that they could not continue to make a lot of noise in the city, and took the initiative to talk to the Li family about this matter, and that was it.

In this way, it would be acceptable on the surface and would not be criticized by others.

It would not make other affiliated forces of the Li family feel uneasy.

It is necessary to pay some price, and the Li family is not short of that.

The mayor of Yaoshi City is also a member of Yaowang Pavilion Qing's family. As the mayor, what's wrong with getting some benefits?

There is absolutely no problem!

There is no need to worry about this matter being exposed.

Once it is exposed, the Li family will be in big trouble.

So this matter was solved so easily.

The only one who paid a huge price in this matter was the Shenhuo Gate.

The Shenhuo Street occupied by the Shenhuo Gate and several adjacent streets were also taken back by the Li family.

Next, it will either be shared with other surrounding forces.

Or, it is to support a new force.

Anyway, no matter how it is done, the only thing that remains unchanged is that it must not affect the interests of the Li family.

No matter who it is, as long as these streets are taken, they must pay the corresponding price, and the same will remain true in the future.

...

Because the Shenhuo Gate was destroyed, it was a sensation for a while.

The Li family made a harsh statement that they must find the mastermind behind the scenes and make the other party pay the price.

They are even willing to spend a lot of money to find all the relevant information.

Unfortunately, although some people are very envious of the rewards for the relevant information, they also know that they can't talk nonsense at this time.

If anyone plays tricks on the Li family at this time, it will be no different from sending themselves to death.

If you have a life to take it but no life to spend it, what is the difference between taking it and not taking it?

The city is in an uproar, and many people are discussing this matter.

"Do you think that this kind of thing happened in the sphere of influence of the Li family, is it considered a big shame? After all, the Divine Fire Sect is affiliated with the Li family."

"You can't say that. After all, the Divine Fire Sect is just an affiliated force, not the main family of the Li family. I'm afraid it offended some powerful guy and the other party came to the door."

"What's the difference between saying this and not saying it? If you didn't offend anyone, would you be so cruel to be destroyed? The Divine Fire Sect, everyone knows, it's not a good guy."

"I don't know if the Li family can find out the mastermind behind the scenes. The other party can destroy the Divine Fire Sect in such a short time. I think it's not simple. Maybe it's a powerful force from other places."

"Who can say this? After all, if they can destroy the Divine Fire Sect quietly, their power must be very strong. Even the Li family may not be able to deal with it."

...

This matter has become a casual talk among people after dinner.

Most people do pay attention to this matter, but they only pay a little attention to it and don't care too much.

It didn't happen to them, so of course they don't need to care. They are more watching the fun.

The other three families of the four major families have different ideas.

The Lu family, the Zhao family and the Sun family didn't care about this matter, as if it had nothing to do with them.

In fact, it was the case.

Since it has nothing to do with them, why should they care?

Being too concerned about this matter will cause some unnecessary suspicion.

The three families also speculated about each other, whether it was done by one of them.

Even the Li family itself has certain suspicions.

No one can say for sure about some things, and before the situation is clarified, the suspicion cannot be decisively ruled out.

The headquarters of the main Shenhuo Sect did not cause any damage except for the corpses left on the ground, and there was no evidence left.

There was blood everywhere, just like a one-sided massacre.

Nothing was left, so there was no way to investigate.

If you want to find the target, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
