Old Master Ming’s face instantly showed disbelief as he watched Su Xi neutralize his attack.
He wasn't just surprised by Su Xi's strength, but more so because her performance led him to a possible conclusion.
Only under such a possibility could one possess such formidable abilities.
Seeing Old Master Ming’s reaction, Su Xi smiled. "Are you stunned into silence now? You seem to have lost your response."
Killing Old Master Ming would be easy, but obtaining the item he held would be quite difficult.
Therefore, Su Xi was willing to expend considerable effort to make Old Master Ming obedient.
Upon hearing Su Xi’s words, Old Master Ming snapped out of his shock.
However, before he could speak, the once arrogant Luo Feng suddenly fell before them.
"Pfft!"
Luo Feng spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire being listless. It was clear he was heavily injured.
Old Ghost walked over calmly, looked at Luo Feng, shook his head, and said with a sigh, "It seems you're just as unremarkable as this."
Luo Feng had created such a grand spectacle earlier, making them think he was very powerful. Who knew he was so weak and couldn’t last long.
Old Master Ming observed Old Ghost's demeanor, his suspicion about Su Xi and her companions' identities solidifying.
Since he was now certain of Su Xi's identity, he naturally wouldn't continue to resist.
"Whatever you want, I will give it to you," Old Master Ming sighed, revealing his inner thoughts. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
The others who were lying on the ground pretending to be dead, upon hearing Old Master Ming's words, suddenly showed looks of astonishment.
Ignoring their injuries, they scrambled to their feet and said with deep distress, "Old Master Ming, you must reconsider this matter."
"Yes, if we are threatened like this, how will we make a living in the future? Will our subordinates still listen to us?"
"People die for wealth, birds die for food. Without money, we have nothing."
Hearing their words, Old Master Ming’s expression remained calm.
Even with some strength, he was still just an ordinary person. Dealing with these individuals was impossible.
It would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, leading only to self-destruction.
He simply wanted to live well and had no intention of seeking death.
These people were only thinking of their own interests, without considering if they had the ability to survive.
"If you have other ideas, then go ahead. In any case, I will hand over everything I possess to Miss Su Xi."
After speaking, Old Master Ming ignored everyone’s reaction and began to write a gene letter?
The others, seeing Old Master Ming's unusual behavior, were filled with confusion.
Based on their understanding, Old Master Ming was a natural miser and would never easily give up such a large fortune.
What was his purpose in doing this now?
No one present was foolish. They had all come to their senses by now.
Thus, they no longer insisted and revealed their own situations.
Once everything was completed, Su Xi nodded with satisfaction.
She didn't care what these people were thinking and left with Old Ghost.
She only wanted the money; the other matters were irrelevant.
Now that they had lost the right to sell gold, their survival or death was of no concern to her.
After Su Xi left, the others could no longer contain their curiosity and looked at Old Master Ming, asking, "Old Master, what exactly is going on?"
With Su Xi present before, they were hesitant to speak.
Now that Su Xi was gone, they had no reservations.
Old Master Ming looked at everyone before him and smiled. "Although you have dominated Rong City for so many years, you have certainly not thoroughly considered one crucial issue."
???
The others turned their gazes to Old Master Ming, unsure of what he was thinking.
In the current situation, what could make them give up so much money?
Initially, as long as they refused, even if Su Xi killed them all, the ownership would remain with them. They could later find an heir to reclaim it.
But now that the ownership had been taken away, reclaiming it would be extremely difficult.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Old Master Ming gravely cautioned, "I know what you are thinking, but there is one issue I must tell you."
Everyone became tense upon hearing Old Master Ming's words.
What was this all about?
What else could they possibly not know?
With their subordinates numbering at least a hundred thousand, they didn't believe they couldn't deal with just a few people like Su Xi.
Old Master Ming did not prolong the suspense and said, "You must have heard the term 'cultivator', haven't you?"
"Cultivator?"
They repeated the word, their faces then displaying disbelief.
They were familiar with the name "cultivator," but had always thought such things existed only in legends.
But today, Old Master Ming suddenly telling them that cultivators were real, was something no one could accept.
Old Master Ming knew they wouldn't believe him, as he himself had been skeptical when he first encountered cultivators.
However, after the previous events, he knew it was all real. It was just that those individuals existed in places they couldn't see, making it impossible for ordinary people to know.
When he first saw the abilities of Su Xi and her group, he hadn't immediately thought of it. But recalling it now, he felt a chilling realization.
If he had continued to resist just now, he would not only have angered Su Xi but also put his family in great danger.
After all, those cultivators had no humanity and acted without restraint. Their immense power meant they had no need to care.
The others did not question Old Master Ming's words, but they still felt resentful.
Did it mean that because the other party was a cultivator, they could act with such impunity?
Old Master Ming shook his head. "This matter is beyond our capabilities, but cultivators are not truly without any restraints."
Having seen those cultivators himself, he knew that even among cultivators, there were things they couldn't do.
There was also a cultivator alliance specifically formed to deal with those who acted cruelly and broke the rules.
However, ordinary people were unaware, so its influence was not widespread.
Su Xi and her group's actions had already severely violated the rules, so naturally, they would not be tolerated.
Upon hearing Old Master Ming's words, a glint appeared in everyone's eyes.
They knew Old Master Ming wouldn't let this go so easily; he must have a backup plan.
Someone in the crowd impatiently said, "Old Master, what should we do now?"
Since there was a way, they should act immediately.
Otherwise, the longer the channel remained with Su Xi, the less income they would have.
Old Master Ming shook his head and said, "This matter cannot be rushed. Otherwise, not only will the problem not be solved, but it will also alert the other party."
These cultivators had ten thousand ways to stop us from complaining.
If the news leaks, it will all be too late.
Hearing this, everyone nodded, indicating they wouldn't act rashly.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Old Master Ming knew they understood the importance of the matter, so he said, "For now, you all return and make sure no danger is perceived. I will immediately go to that place myself, even if it costs all my wealth, to seek justice for everyone."
"Thank you, Old Master Ming."
"Old Master Ming, whatever your orders, just tell us."
"We will remember Old Master Ming's great kindness forever."
Hearing the words of those around him, Old Master Ming smiled faintly.
He knew his objective had been achieved.
To win people's hearts, one must offer help in times of need. Otherwise, adding flowers to brocade is just a small favor that no one takes seriously.
After bidding farewell to the others, Old Master Ming quickly left with his men.
For them, the most important thing now was to inform others of the situation.
Otherwise, without the participation of others, they would be helpless.
Su Xi, with Old Ghost, walked forward, aiming to resolve all issues.
Old Ghost walked beside her, looking at Su Xi with confusion. "Do you really think these people will obediently listen?"
Looking at so many people, Old Ghost was certain that they were only outwardly compliant, not truly willing to obey.
Hearing Old Ghost's question, Su Xi smiled. "Of course, they won't obediently listen."
She was very sure of this.
Old Ghost’s gaze became even more perplexed upon hearing Su Xi's words.
Why was this?
If they already knew these people wouldn't obey, what were they doing?
Su Xi smiled and looked at Old Ghost. "What is it that you desire right now?"
???
Old Ghost looked at Su Xi, not understanding the meaning of her words.
Why were they talking about this out of the blue?
Were they not here to make money?
Su Xi looked at Old Ghost with a helpless expression. "Do you truly think all of this is that simple?"
???
Old Ghost was even more confused.
Su Xi smiled and continued, "What we want is not to make money, but to find a way to leave this place."
She looked at Old Ghost with a helpless expression.
How could this person forget what they were trying to do?
They were not people who sought money; they were here to find a way to escape this wretched place.
Upon hearing Su Xi's words, Old Ghost froze. He had indeed forgotten his original intention, having been captivated by everything he saw.
Indeed, only by remembering one's original intention could one achieve their ultimate goal.
However, although he remembered what he should do, Old Ghost still couldn't grasp how this related to their situation.
How could they achieve what they desired?
Su Xi looked at Old Ghost and smiled. "Do you really believe such combat power exists in this world?"
Currently, combat power is not weak.
