Huang Peng's Scheme

Ling ming entered the room with a somewhat sketchy-looking guy, who looked a lot like Ling Ming.

Seeing Huang Peng, Ling Ming broke down in cold sweat but he eventually calmed down.

"Young master Huang calm your anger, I have a way for you to get back at Long Chen"

"What is it you better not tell me some nonsense this time" Huang peng growled in a low voice. His eyes were spitting fire, if he had more people, Huang Peng would have surely executed Ling Ming.

Ling Ming got closer to Huang Peng and told him about this plan.

Huang peng face turned malevolent.

"Are you sure you can do this ?"

"Yes young master you just need me to lend your elder "

They planned to use the spies they have planted in the Bei clan to drug Bei Youer with an aphrodisiac, and kidnap her then Huang Peng can have his way with her. Then Bei Youer can choose to be his concubine or die, either way, Huang Peng would get back at Long Chen.

While Huang Peng and his gang were cooking up this sinister plot, Long Chen returned home.

By evening Long Chen was dead tired, but still, he called for 2 people in the evening.

Grandpa Nie and Duan Ling Zhen were the 2 people Long Chen taught a high-grade black rank Art related to stealth.

"Get a team and monitor and Ling Ming and Huang Pengs people I have a feeling something eerie is going."

As an old monster Long Chen was very trusting in his intuition.

Even if he did not feel anything fishy, he would still ask his people to investigate them to know his enemies' next move.

Grandpa Nie and Duan Ling Zhen quickly agreed and made their way.

It was at night when the 2 came back to report.

"Young lord subordinate has something to report"

Although technically speaking there was no need to speak so respectfully to a qi condensation cultivator but Long Chen felt like an existence who deserved respect from everyone like a heavenly monarch.

"Young lord the nephew of the clan head and Ling Ming's cousin is buying some unscrupulous drug from the black market.

Also, the elder that came with Huang peng has hidden near the Bei clan estate, moreover, a few suspected spies in the clan seem to be restless"

Granda Nie narrated everything in a solemn tone but his hands were trembling with fury.

With their investigation, it wasn't hard to conclude what they were planning.

Long Chen had his eyes closed while listening to reports the moment it got done.

Long Chen opened his eyes and a fierce glint passed through them.

"Alright Huang Peng since you refuse to take a loss, and resort to playing dirty don't blame me for being merciless, the Ling clan hehe you guys will receive a nice gift"

Long Chen asked them to pass a piece of a message to pass to his uncle, father, and father-in-law to be.

Also, Long Chen instructed them to set up a meeting between his father and the black market branch leader to set up a transaction.

The next day.

The Ling clan estate,

Huang Peng and Ling Chao were sitting in a hidden courtyard enjoying some wine.

"The drug is absolutely effective right ?"

"Ohh young master you don't have to worry it will work 100%"

"Hahaha Long Chen I will make you wear a green hat just you wait"

Saying that Huang Peng's expression twisted into a malevolent form.

While Ling Chao and Huang Peng were celebrating their future success, Long Chen had already instructed his subordinates and elders and was currently secretly making his way towards the Bei clan estate.

The elder who was hiding beside the clan was on his guard.

The clans of their level only have a low-level array or two, to defend themselves or catch intruders, making themselves exceptionally vulnerable.

On the other hand, the top clans or imperial city including the royal clans were armed to the teeth with arrays and trap mechanisms, even poison was included.

This was intentional on the royal clans' part to suppress the other cities' top clans.

Bei youer was training in her courtyard when a maid made her way towards the courtyard. She was a new face but since her regular maid was ill people did not bother much with her.

"Young miss here is your lunch"

"Panting gasp just put it there-"

Before she even got to finish her sentence Long Chen appeared and held the maid by the throat.

"How long have you been working for the Ling clan "

"Lord I don't- "

Seeing her babble nonsense Long Chen tightened his grip, and his finger dug deep in her neck until blood started flowing from her throat.

"Listen bitch if you want a peaceful death tell me. If you refuse I will throw you in my army brothel. The soldiers of my estate will certainly enjoy you. Even death will seem mercy to you"

The maid's face immediately lost color and tears started bubbling In her eyes.

Just looking at Long Chen made her feel as if he was the devil incarnate.

"Lord I will tell! tell!"

Seeing her confess Long Chen just snapped her neck and killed her, she was just an ordinary pawn and would have no important info.

"Long Chen what's wrong"

"Well, that bastard Huang Peng wants to drug you and is being used by the Ling clan.

By the way, don't eat that lunch or we will have to consummate our marriage right here and now.

"Damn scoundrel how could you joke around"

Although Bei Youer tried to play it down she was quite shaken that someone just tried to scheme so badly against her.

Seeing this Long Chen tightly embraced her.

"Don't worry I won't let anything happen to you ever, and you gotta be strong, this world is like that, as for these bastards I will make them regret being born"

Bei youer nodded and lifted her head up to see Long Chen who seeing her pale lips couldn't hold himself back. He then fiercely kissed her.

Bei Youer tried to break through at first but subconsciously her struggles became like whimpers and eventually gave in.

Long Chen's tongue invaded her mouth, and out of instinct she bit it but Long Chen did not stop and was intruding her mouth.

The orchid breath of her mouth greatly satisfied Long Chen.

After a while, Bei Youer finally pushed Long Chen away and ran to her room to embarrassed to face anyone.

Long Chen exited the courtyard.

Long Chen was not relying on any special skills just using his senses, he could easily evade all the senses of people.

Seeing Long Chen come out, Duan Ling Zhen appeared in front of him and was holding an unconscious woman.

"Young lord we got this woman "

"Perfect all according to plan"

Long Chen and the elder quickly made their way towards an abanded servants' courtyard on the outskirts of the estate.

Duan Ling Zhen had tortured 2 servants to get a hold of this location.

Long Chen appeared before an old man. The old man was clearly surprised seeing Long Chen there, as he was supposed to be waiting for someone.

"Surprised are we? "

"You-you what are you doing here "

"I am here to double down on your scheme of kidnapping the Bei clan princess, old dog"

"Don't make baseless slander"

The elder was so flustered, he forgot about Long Chen's disrespect. If this was exposed then not only will most powers of the city go hostile to them, affecting trade but also will lead to a reputation loss in the imperial capital, as their young lord who is supposed to lead the entire clan is behaving in such a manner after taking a loss.

Before he could say anything, he got attacked from behind.

He fell before Long Chen, spurting out blood, that strike had caught him off guard, heavily damaging his internal organs.

Duan Ling Zhen did not wait for him to counter and fiercely started stomping all over his body.

The elder was no vegetarian, after taking a few he started fiercely retaliating, alas he was only at the first layer while the opponent was at the second layer.

In essence gathering realm, differences between every layer are massive, and it grows more pronounced as time passes.

Their fight destroyed the surrounding ground and Long Chen quickly made his way outside, having no mood to be caught in the crossfire.

After a while, the elder fell down while Duan Ling Zhen still fiercely stomped all over his body.

He only stopped after the Huang clan's elder was completely bruised and battered.

Without wasting any time Long Chen shoved a dagger up the old man's face.

It only went skin deep, still, the poison coating applied managed to affect the old man.

"Ahhh, what did you do to me ?"

The old man's screams turned hoarse.

The old man was panicking his skin turned purplish, and it felt like he was getting older. He was quickly losing his vitality and lifeforce.

He started struggling like a dead fish in a net, before stopping and falling asleep forever.

An essence gathering realm cultivator, who can call wind and rain in Southern Phoenix city died an aggrieved death.

"The black market surely lives up to its reputation, this is their finest poison I suppose"

"Yes young lord this is available in very little doses, the lord probably owes a favor to that cheng guy"

"Haha don't worry, it will be fun cooperating with him in the future. Now let's carry out the rest of the plan."

…

Ling Clan estate

Huang Peng and Ling Chao heard a knock at the door.

The moment they opened the door, a woman was fiercely thrown at Huang Peng, she seemed to be pant and moaning.

Without wasting any more time, Huang Peng carried the woman to a room.

Ling Chao was about to leave when suddenly he got a clear look at her face which was covered with a light veil.

"Linger"

His body Tremendously shook, because that was his favorite concubine.
