"Hahaha, Zhou Xuan, you indeed came."
Waiting for him was not that woman, and Li Xuan was nowhere to be seen.
The opponent was muscular, with a beard and a fleshy face, looking like he had at least ten lives on his hands.
Li Ming was not far behind him.
Seeing Zhou Xuan look over, his eyes darted away.
Zhou Xuan instantly understood what was going on.
He cursed inwardly, never expecting these uncle and niece to dare to trick him.
"Li Ming, you have quite the nerve!"
Li Ming's face was embarrassed, and he said, "Zhou Xuan, we are doing this for your own good. You should stop now. The Li family's assets are not something you can covet."
"Hand it over, and I can spare you. Otherwise, you will die miserably for fooling others with fake items."
Hearing this, Zhou Xuan's anger surged.
So, he had been deceived.
He sneered, "Li Ming, you're something else. You actually dared to use them against me. I think you're tired of living!"
"Don't talk to me about any damned righteousness."
"What the Qin family can give me, you cannot!"
"Instead of having a girl give away the item for free to you, I might as well use it to gain some higher benefits."
"Heh heh, foolish, truly foolish. I haven't seen anyone in this world more stupid than you."
"What do you mean?"
"Li Ming, you've mistaken your enemy from the very beginning, and now you're making one mistake after another..."
Zhou Xuan's eyes flashed with a cold light, "Since you are all ready, let's begin!"
Just then, a bell sound came.
The two immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw Li Xuan and Lu Ling'er bound tightly, their hands and feet restrained by ropes, and their mouths gagged.
Looking at Zhou Xuan, terror flickered in their eyes.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Xuan's gaze deepened.
So, this was Li Ming's wishful thinking.
Li Xuan had not deceived him.
And he had indeed fallen into a diversionary tactic, and Ling'er had also been captured by them.
Who exactly betrayed Ling'er's hiding place?
Clearly, Ling'er had hidden as he instructed.
Li Ming said, "Master Zhou, please don't move around. If she struggles and gets hurt, I can't bear the responsibility."
"What do you want? Let her go!" Zhou Xuan roared.
"Heh heh heh..." Li Ming chuckled, "What do we want? Zhou Xuan, you should know very well."
Li Ming placed the dagger in his hand against Ling'er's chest.
He said, "Now we hold your girlfriend's life in our hands. If you dare to make any rash moves, her little life could be lost immediately."
"You guys...."
"Zhou Xuan, as long as you hand over the real Qiankun Mirror, I will let them go. Also, cure the third young lady of the Qin family."
"Hmph, so Qin Qingya isn't dead yet? She's quite resilient," Zhou Xuan said sarcastically.
He looked up and subtly observed his surroundings.
There were definitely more than just the few people Li Ming brought here.
Li Ming and his group, at least a dozen more were ambushing.
These people were fully armed, clearly here to deal with him.
It seemed that Qin Qingya's matter had made them unable to wait any longer.
At least, she was in imminent danger.
Causing the Qin family to lose all face.
"What do you want?" Zhou Xuan asked.
"It's simple. I'll say it again. Hand over the real Qiankun Mirror and help him treat the third young lady of the Qin family," Li Ming said.
"Master Zhou, what are you still hesitating for? Are you really going to watch her fade away?"
"I don't think you can bear to!"
After Li Ming finished speaking, he waved for the two girls to be brought forward by his subordinates.
He said, "Master Zhou, please look closely, this is your girlfriend."
When Ling'er saw Zhou Xuan, she could no longer hold back her tears and cried out, "Brother Xuan, don't, I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me..."
Seeing her crying so much, Zhou Xuan felt extremely pained.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I will not give you the Qiankun Mirror, but if you dare to hurt her, I will surely kill you!"
Li Ming's expression changed slightly, not expecting the other party to be so decisive.
Zhou Xuan roared, "Not only will I not save them, but I will kill them!"
"Oh?" Li Ming raised an eyebrow and said, "It seems Master Zhou is preparing to burn both the bridges and himself in a desperate struggle!"
Li Ming's face showed a ferocious smile, "Master Zhou, that's good too, it saves me further trouble."
Then, he waved his hand, and the two bodyguards beside him surrounded Zhou Xuan.
"What are you doing? Uncle, you can't do this!" Li Xuan shouted.
"Shut up!" Li Ming barked.
"I raised you for so many years, and you're not as good as a man. I might as well raise a dog, at least it knows to wag its tail!"
"That is the ancestral instruction of the Li family. You are unfilial and disloyal!"
Li Xuan said indignantly, "Li Ming, you are too despicable and shameless!"
"No one in the Li family is as despicable and shameless as you!" Li Xuan said angrily, "Even if I die, I will never surrender!"
Li Ming laughed loudly and said, "Li Xuan, you brought this upon yourself. If you don't have the skill, don't take on the job."
"This treasure is in your hands, it's better to give it to someone more capable, isn't it?"
Then, he turned to Zhou Xuan and said, "I advise you not to resist, because you are no match for me!"
"You are truly wishful thinking!"
"Even if all of you attack, you might not be able to defeat me."
Li Ming said, "Then let's wait and see!"
A hint of madness flashed in his eyes.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, then let's try!"
Zhou Xuan looked at the blood flowing down his beloved Ling'er's neck, and his expression finally softened.
At this moment, seeing this, Li Ming sneered, "How is it? Have you thought about it?"
"Qiankun Mirror, is it something you can covet?"
Suddenly, an extremely cold voice sounded from the side.
Immediately after, a strong killing intent rushed towards them.
Li Ming and the others turned to see a black-clothed youth slowly walking towards them.
"Zhou Xuan, do you know him?"
"This kid looks unusual, and the black-clothed men behind him are all very powerful."
The two conversed in low voices, looking at the youth with apprehension.
Li Ming's eyes narrowed, and he sneered, "Kid, who do you think you are? How dare you meddle in my business?"
The black-clothed youth glanced at him indifferently and said, "My name is Lin Fan. No matter who you are, you need to get lost."
As soon as he finished speaking, several people from behind him stood up in unison.
They were all peak experts.
"Look, are your people more powerful, or are mine?"
The people behind him shouted, "If you know what's good for you, scram quickly. You can't afford to offend our seventeenth young master of the Heavenly Rankings!"
What was the Qin family?
Moreover, this Li Ming was just a small fry.
Lin Fan didn't care at all.
Upon hearing this, Li Ming's expression changed, and he said, "Lin Fan? You are that seventeenth person on the Heavenly Rankings?"
The black-clothed youth nodded coldly.
"Heavens, we actually provoked a super prodigy ranked seventeenth on the Heavenly Rankings!" Li Ming secretly thought it was bad.
Although he was arrogant and domineering with the Qin family's backing, he also knew the power dynamics.
With a mere flick of his finger, he could crush him into dust.
Thinking of this, he quickly smiled apologetically, "So it's the seventeenth person on the Heavenly Rankings. I was truly disrespectful earlier, disrespectful."
However, he muttered to himself, "Why is this kid so powerful? People from the Heavenly Rankings are willing to be subordinate to Zhou Xuan. Who exactly is he?"
