547: C547 Come to the Inn

C547 Come to the Inn

"Two useless fools."

Lowering his head, he took a look at the two guards who were still lying on the ground. It was as though they had fallen into an unwakeable state. Cao Lan could not help but curse.

At this moment, the two guards were already lying beside him. The clothes on their chests had long been torn apart, revealing the blurry flesh within. Clearly, they were heavily injured.

But even so, the two of them did not gain the slightest bit of goodwill and sympathy from Alchemist Cao. Instead, they hated the other party's uselessness even more.

At this moment, after giving the other party a glare, they headed towards the Zhao family's residence. He was currently heavily injured and needed to return home to recuperate.

...

Tianlai Inn.

Ling Jian and Mu Qiurou entered a luxurious inn called Tianlai Inn.

In Huntian City, there was only one inn that was similar to the Heavenly Coming Inn. There were many other inns that were inferior to it.

The Heavenly Coming Inn was extremely luxurious. The tables, chairs, the roof, and the topmost Heavenly Room were all made of high-quality materials.

Among them, the sky grade rooms even had a Spirit Gathering Formation, which was specially used to provide the people who lived in the inn with the spiritual energy needed for their daily cultivation. This also made the entire sky grade room seem to be full of spirituality.

In comparison, the price of this kind of room was quite high. Even if they only stayed for one night, they would still need one spirit stone.

For ordinary people, this kind of expenditure was quite extravagant. After all, even if it was a local tyrant like the three families who lived in the Chaotic Sky City... In a month's time, it would only be a few hundred spirit stones worth of income. If it were the House Marrow, it would be even less.

One spirit stone was required to cultivate in a heaven-grade room for a night, and 30 spirit stones were required for a month. Ordinary cultivators could only shrink back.

However, Ling Jian was not among them. Although he did not get many spirit stones from the Huang Clan Tribe, he could still afford to stay in a sky-class room for a night.

He immediately took out two spirit stones and booked two heaven-grade rooms at once.

The shopkeeper was also quite surprised by this. He didn't expect that someone would actually take out a spirit stone to stay for a night. Moreover, he had booked two rooms in one go. This was even rarer.

Therefore, the shopkeeper's attitude became even more respectful in an instant.

Ling Jian didn't pay any attention to this point. After he returned to his room, he entered a state of cultivation.

As for the medicinal pill competition tomorrow, he did not take it to heart. Although he had yet to attempt refining a spirit grade medicinal pill after entering the Spirit Mirror, this did not affect him going to deal with Alchemist Ling Yun tomorrow.

...

On the same night that Ling Jian and Mu Qiurou stayed at the Heavenly Coming Inn.

Within the Zhao Family, Cao Sheng, who had been hired as an alchemist, was walking around the Zhao Family Residence.

Not long after, he appeared in an exquisite courtyard. Then, with a grin on his face, he walked in.

Before he took a few steps, he heard the voice of a middle-aged servant. "So, it's Alchemist Cao. How have you been recently, Sir Cao?"

The servant quickly realized that he had said something wrong.

He hurriedly shut his mouth and said in a low voice, "Sir, why are you injured?"

"I accidentally got hurt by a dog. It's nothing serious." Cao Lan waved his hand.

He glanced at the servant again and said coldly, "Is Great Elder here? I want to see him."

The person immediately spoke and said in a deep voice, "Sir, the Great Elder is not here tonight."

"It's already so late, yet he's not home?"

Immediately, he frowned. Cao Lan stopped his footsteps, somewhat puzzled.

After the Zhao Family had become one of the four major powers of Huntian City, the core members of the family should not have gone out at night, right? In such a peaceful Huntian City, there shouldn't be anyone who didn't want to provoke the Zhao Family, right?

"This little one isn't very clear. I think I heard that he went out with the patriarch. He should be going to kill someone."

As the servant spoke, he recalled the scene at that time. Then, he thought of something and couldn't help but say. " Oh right, I remember now. That night, the tribe leader and the Great Elder mentioned the mysterious young expert we met in the Huang Tribe. "

"The young expert who caused our Zhao Clan to lose a few hundred House Marrow?"

Cao Lan's expression changed as well.

Although House Marrow was not as convenient and convenient as spirit stones, if it was exchanged for spirit stones, it would be a huge amount, let alone several hundred House Marrow.

Moreover, this matter had a profound meaning to the Zhao Family.

Losing so many spirit stones for no reason, if they allowed this matter to continue, it would also be a loss of face for the Zhao Family.

This could already be considered a secret of the Zhao Family. After all, this kind of thing was not very honorable.

However, as an alchemist, his status in the Zhao Family was already very high. Furthermore, he was usually close to the Great Elder, so it was not surprising for him to know a little about it.

The middle-aged servant nodded and said, "That's right, it's this person. This person is quite bold. He actually dared to appear in the Mixed Heaven City. Now that the Family Head and several elders have attacked together, he will definitely die this time."

Alchemist Cao also nodded. This was too much in line with the clan head's style of doing things.

"However, what a pity. Consider this kid lucky."

Cao Lan sneered in his heart. The cold glint in the depths of his eyes became even denser.

That servant had followed Cao Lan for a period of time and was very clear what this situation meant. He hurriedly asked, "Lord Cao, are you going to kill someone?"

"It's just a brat who makes trouble without reason. It's nothing."

Cao Lan indifferently replied. Clearly, he did not wish to stay on this matter for long.

That servant also understood tacitly and did not continue to ask. Immediately, he respectfully opened his mouth and laughed, "Sir Cao should return and rest first. If First Elder and the clan head return... I will definitely inform you immediately."

Cao Feng nodded when he heard this. Although he did not say much, he also felt a little regretful.

He and the Great Elder were old acquaintances. Other than coming over tonight to kill Ling Jian, the most important thing was to make the Great Elder cancel the medicinal pill competition tomorrow.

But now that the Great Elder and the family head were not present, the matter of cancelling the medicinal pill competition could only be delayed.

"Hmph, let's see if you can still be so lucky after tomorrow."

"At that time, if my Master were to defeat you in front of everyone, it would be even crueler."

Cao Lan coldly snorted before turning around and leaving.

...

Night descended and darkness enveloped the land.

Heavenly Coming Inn.

The Heavenly Coming Inn seemed even quieter at night. This was the largest and most luxurious inn in Huntian City. Not only was it comfortable to stay in, but its defensive measures were also quite strong.

Just like the Heavenly Room where Ling Jian stayed, there would be an Earth Spirit Dao expert protecting it every night.1

However, this protective measure was just a decoration to the cultivators of the Earth Spirit Dao.

At this moment, on the top floor of the Heavenly Coming Inn.

Several human figures passed by the top floor in succession. Upon closer inspection, there were a total of eight human figures. All eight of them were emitting a tyrannical and indescribable aura.
