“Flame Fox…
The family heads hesitated when they heard about it.
Everyone wanted a Flame Fox that could help them cultivate. Having that little thing was akin to cultivating with two of themselves and a continuous source of demonic energy.
Everyone had greed, and they were no exception.
They could look down on Young Master Long. After all, they would not gain anything from him.
However, they would not readily let go of what they could attain.
If killing Qian Jiyun meant they could really obtain the Flame Fox, they would naturally help Qian Liuguang. Besides, they would not be helping Qian Liuguang—they would be helping themselves.
A family head said, “Everyone wants the Flame Fox. That’s true.”
It would be a lie to say that he did not want the Flame Fox. Of course, he wanted it!
“But dealing with Qian Jiyun is really very difficult. Master Ling, you have so many people, but he killed all of them as well as your Ling family…”
There was nothing left of the Ling family except an empty shell. He could not make up his mind. He had to carefully consider if he should cooperate with Master Ling.
“Master Li is right. If dealing with Qian Jiyun was that easy, Jun Lin Hall wouldn’t have developed so quickly,” another family head agreed immediately.
“Besides, Master Ling, isn’t it a little too much to make us loan all our people to you? Do you think our manpower can be used at your disposal for your needs?
“You’re quite the schemer, aren’t you? You want to send our people to deal with Jun Lin Hall while you benefit from it and obtain Qian Jiyun’s Flame Fox, right?”
If that was Qian Liuguang’s plan, they would not cooperate with him. “What are you talking about, Master Qing?”
Upon hearing his words, Qian Liuguang became serious immediately. He no longer maintained his helpless expression.
As long as they were willing to speak, it meant that there was still room for negotiation. As long as he said a few more words, these people would cooperate with him.
“If I want the Flame Fox. I won’t tell you this secret. Honestly. I don’t want the
Flame Fox. I just don’t want Jun Lin Hall to continue sending her to keep prospering.”
He spread his hands, his expression frank.
“You know that Qian Jiyun sent people to destroy my Ling family. I just want revenge. Moreover, Jun Lin Hall is really getting more and more powerful.
“Besides, Qian Jiyun is the Demon Heart now. If we let him continue like this, we won’t have a say in Wulong Mountain in the future. “Do you want things to escalate to this point?”
“Well…” The family heads looked at each other.
Jun Lin Hall showed signs of surpassing the Long family’s might. They initially believed that even if Jun Lin Hall became the dominant force, it would have nothing to do with them.
However, it seemed like that was not the case.
Qian Jiyun was the Demon Heart. If Jun Lin Hall gained dominance on top of that, Qian Jiyun could take their lives whenever he wanted.
Wouldn’t their future be abysmal? Would they become Jun Lin Hall’s obedient dogs?
At the thought of this, the family heads’ expressions darkened..
