Qin Xiaoyan seemed to know what he was thinking and said, "The news should be reliable. We captured the mine slaves in the mining area. They saw it with their own eyes."
Li Yuefeng turned around, walked to the window, and gripped the windowsill, using some force.
He said in a deep voice, "With Tian Weiâs Flame Superpower, whether itâs me, Tu Long, or even Wu Meng, we all have to avoid him to some extent. Killing him wouldnât be easy. How did this Liang Yuan manage to kill Tian Wei single-handedly?"
Qin Xiaoyan shook her head, "The mine slaves donât know the specifics of the battle."
"By the time they were rescued, the fight was already over."
"According to this mine slave, Tian Wei was at the end of his rope and even activated all his Blast Talisman Stones, directly destroying the mining areaâs shelter, yet he still died."
"These mine slaves were trapped in the mine shaft, and it was Liang Yuan who saved them."
Li Yuefeng narrowed his eyes, "Heh, he didnât save them out of kindness; he just needed to use them."
Qin Xiaoyan nodded, "Thatâs what it means. But his methods are much more sophisticated than Tian Weiâs."
"What do you mean?"
Qin Xiaoyan immediately recounted everything Liang Yuan had done in the mining area from beginning to end.
Li Yuefengâs expression became serious. "It seems this Liang truly is someone remarkable."
Qin Xiaoyan asked, "Whatâs wrong?"
Li Yuefeng said, "Having high combat power alone is no big deal. The key is that he also has a business mind."
"This person has hundreds of men under him, and now he has taken over this rich mining area. If we donât stop him, he might actually manage to establish himself."
Qin Xiaoyan immediately asked, "So what do we do now? Our Superpower Stones have always been traded from the mining area."
"Now that Tian Wei is dead, our previous trade channel is gone. Are we going to negotiate with this Liang?"
Li Yuefeng gently tapped the windowsill, gazing at the Plum Blossom Pigs scrambling for a corpse outside, and then smiled. "The tree that stands taller than the rest is the first to be blown down by the wind."
"This manâs conspicuousness, killing Tian Wei, occupying the biggest piece of the mining area, weâre not the only ones anxious about it."
"You mean, the people from Martial King Pavilion and Phoenix Temple also want a share?"
Li Yuefeng smiled, "Do you even need to ask? Martial King Pavilion needs Water-Repelling Talisman Stones, and Phoenix Temple needs Blast Talisman Stones. Which of them doesnât need Superpower Stones?"
"Especially Phoenix Temple. This Liang just had a fight with Tu Long. The most impatient one must be Tu Long from Phoenix Temple, right?"
"Then let me go and contact them now." Qin Xiaoyan immediately said.
Li Yuefeng, however, laughed loudly and shook his head, "Whoever acts first loses."
"Phoenix Temple canât wait. They will naturally come to us. When it comes time to negotiate the distribution of mining area profits, weâll have more leverage."
"So what do you suggest we do now?"
"What do we do? Haha, wait for them to come to us." Li Yuefeng said, "For now, letâs prepare for the Sea Tide. This matter can only be resolved after the Sea Tide is over."
Then he paused slightly and shook his head, "What perfect timing! This Liang not only has great methods but also picked just the right moment!"
"With the Sea Tide approaching, everyone is preoccupied, giving him plenty of time to consolidate."
"In the next few days, he is likely to make a considerable fortune in that mine."
Qin Xiaoyan couldnât help but say viciously, "Wonât that benefit him unfairly?"
"Haha, donât worry. However he swallows it, we will make him spit it back out." Li Yuefeng scoffed, unconcerned.
The mining area is such a prime piece of territory. Itâs impossible for the three shelters on the island to let an outsider take it over.
Although Liang Yuan seems to be in the spotlight now, having acquired a large number of Superpower Stones.
But after the Sea Tide, there will be a good show to watch.
This person was able to kill Tian Wei, which is indeed astonishing, even to him.
But what good is individual bravery?
Can he alone handle everyone at once?
Moreover, Superpowers naturally counter each other.
Tian Weiâs Flame Superpower counteracts my Play-Doh Superpower.
But Wu Mengâs Flesh and Blood Growth Superpower is not afraid of flames. If they really fought, Tian Wei and Wu Meng would be evenly matched.
Tian Wei mainly relied on his ability to fly with flame jet propulsion in a short time, making Wu Meng unable to catch him.
This Liang may be able to counter Tian Wei, but that doesnât mean he can counter my Play-Doh Superpower!
...
Hooââ
In Phoenix Temple, Hong Fu paced anxiously back and forth in the room.
He had already received the news from the mining area.
Just yesterday, his men went to the mining area to trade for Superpower Stones as usual.
With the Sea Tide approaching, they needed enough Superpower Stones to make Talisman Stones to resist the Sea Tide.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the mining area, they didnât find their usual contact and were driven away instead.
On the way back, Han Ben and Monsoon captured a fleeing mine slave.
From this slave, they learned what had happened at the mining area.
Liang Yuan killed Tian Wei and took over the mining area!
This news instantly shook all the survivors of Phoenix Temple.
Especially Hong Fu, whose face turned extremely grim!
At this moment, his mind was full of urgency and anxiety.
"Damn it, how could Tian Wei be so useless? Isnât that Liang just someone with both Spiritual Power and Power? How could he be so formidable?"
In his impression, Tian Weiâs Flame Superpower was extremely terrifying.
When Tu Long fought Tian Wei head-on, he always ended up on the losing side.
Among all Tu Longâs Tattoo Spirits, only the Skull Spirit could have some effect on Tian Wei.
No matter what form he took, he was still afraid of being burned by flames.
Elemental Superpowers are indeed troublesome.
But Hong Fu couldnât figure out how Liang managed to kill Tian Wei.
What worried him the most was that Liang had occupied the mining areaâs shelter and might truly establish a base and grow from there.
If that happened, he would become a significant threat to them!
But right now, he had no means to deal with it, as the strongest person in the shelter wasnât there!
"Tu Long, Tu Long, why arenât you back yet!"
He was getting restless. Tu Long had been gone for nearly three days. How could it take this long just to search for supplies?
As he was thinking, he suddenly heard a call from outside.
"Tu Long is back!"
Hong Fu was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly ran outside the temple.
Looking up at the sky, he saw a majestic eagle soaring with large bundles strapped to its chest and abdomen!
