C8 The plan of crossing

Seven days had passed, and there was actually not a single person in Tianwu City who had registered to join the army.

Everyone was afraid of the power of the Four Great Clans. He didn't dare take the risk. Everyone was watching, what would the Marquis of Tianwu do?

Do you want to be willful or do you want to compromise with the Four Clans?

"I never thought that the forces of the Four Clans in Tianwu County would be so terrifying. Not only the Tianwu City, but not a single soldier from the other four cities has been recruited. " Zuo Qianjun was so anxious that he could not sit still.

The five cities in Sky Martial County had returned to Qiao Nan's control, but there were only a thousand men left to manage the five cities.

"Young master, aren't you in a hurry?" Zuo Qianjun looked at Qiao Nan who was seated on the chair, and actually held a brush and was practicing his calligraphy, as though he did not care about the situation in Sky Martial County.

"There's no use being anxious. Let's wait for Uncle Zhang to come back first." Qiao Nan did not raise his head, he only focused on the paper in front of him. He had quite the demeanor of a big family.

Unfortunately, in this world, only strength was important. Everything else was nonsense.

"Young master, this old servant is back." In the darkness of the night, Uncle Zhang's entire body was enveloped in a black robe, with only a pair of eyes peeking outside, as if he had merged with the darkness of the night.

"Uncle Zhang, you're finally back. The young master has already waited for you for an entire day." Ever since Uncle Zhang left, Zuo Qianjun accompanied him here and waited for his return.

"Gentlemen, please take a seat." Qiao Nan finally stopped writing, and his tensed body relaxed.

"There's no need to be courteous Master Hou. Since you're here to discuss a deal with Master Hou, it's just that I'm not sure if he's keeping his word or not." The three people in black didn't take off their black robes even though they had arrived here.

"I, Qiao Nan, am right. As long as you help me snatch the North Mountain mine outside of the Luo Family's city, Sky Martial City will definitely take control of it, and our four families will split the debt secretly."

"Each of you three families will receive thirty percent, and the Tianwu Mansion will receive ten percent."

Amongst the four great families, the Luo Family was the strongest and occupied many mines. Among them, the North Mountain Mine was the largest. The other three clans had long since been envious.

"What does the Marquis want us to do?" A black-robed man sat on a chair and asked.

Once the four great families joined hands, it was indeed difficult for Qiao Nan to move an inch within the Tianwu City.

All things considered were benefits. As long as there were enough benefits, even if it was hatred, it could be temporarily put aside.

"Right now, this marquis has no one on his hands. There are only two hundred men that can be deployed in the city, and they can't even fight against the North Mountain Mine. Therefore, your three families must send someone to take down the North Mountain Mine."

"I will send some men to follow behind us. Once we succeed, your three families will immediately retreat. My men will immediately occupy the Northern Mountain Mine. Once the Luo Family retaliates, your three families must do everything in their power to help me."

Tianwu County originally had a thousand soldiers and horses, and they needed to arrange for the four cities as well as the Tianwu City to maintain order. The ones that could be deployed were the four hundred soldiers and horses in the city, and two hundred of them were for defense.

"Master Hou must be joking. Once the Northern Mountain Mine takes over, what will happen if Master Hou goes back on his word?"

The three black robed men looked at each other, risking their lives to fight with the Luo Family for the North Mountain mine was already a huge risk.

"The Northern Mountain Mine allows you to secretly intervene, and the benefits will be obvious. Don't worry now."

As long as it was under Qiao Nan's control on the surface, the Luo Family would definitely not suspect any of the other three families' tricks.

The three black robed men nodded their heads. They had long been envious of the Northern Mountain Mine, but no matter who it was, they would definitely suffer a counterattack from the Luo Family. As for the official power Qiao Nan represented, although it was the weakest, it was just enough to control the Luo Family.

"Alright, our three families will agree to this matter. Master Hou, when do you plan to take action?"

Three black robed men sat there, waiting for Qiao Nan's reply.

As long as the time was set, the three families would immediately send people to take down the North Mountain Mine that they had been eyeing for a long time.

"This matter should be done sooner or later. Tonight is a good night, so let's do it tonight. You three, are you sure you don't mind?" Qiao Nan stared carefully at the three black robed men.

Tonight's operation was a little rushed, but Qiao Nan had to be caught unprepared.

"Alright. "It's already the second and third night. We will gather outside the city." The three men in black stood up and disappeared into the night.

He must have gone back to arrange some men.

Tonight, it would be another bloody night.

"Qian Jun, take two hundred soldiers outside of the city to meet up with the three families. Remember, we can't do anything. We don't have the money. Once the three clans finish off the Luo Family, you can come out and occupy the Northern Mountain Mine."

Qiao Nan said as he raised his head to look at the starry sky, "When everything is over, there will probably be five days left. When the sun rises, the Luo Family will not dare to take any actions against us, go all out, and let everyone know that the Luo Family's North Mountain mine is in the hands of the Marquis of Tianwu."

"Once it's dark, the Luo Family will be on a killing spree. You guys quietly leave the North Mountain Mine before nightfall. Don't go back to the city, go to the mountains there. All the soldiers don't come back. Set up camp on the spot. You can come back alone." Without hesitation, Qiao Nan gave out instructions on all his plans.

Zuo Qianjun led Qiao Nan's orders and led 200 people out of the city to the forests to help the three families. As for Qiao Nan, he gave a few orders to Uncle Zhang and then disappeared.

The night was bright, and the youth was traveling alone in the darkness.

"You."

He discovered that a Rank Two Cloud Leopard was equivalent to the human martial realm, and a Cloud Leopard was known for its speed and agility. Normally, people of the same realm would not dare to provoke this beast, but Qiao Nan was the opposite.

With a long sword in his hand, he activated the Rushing Thunder Sword Technique his family inherited. Thunder light rumbled, giving him quite a bit of power.

The sword aura was very dense, it had actually sealed off the Cloud Leopard. Once the Cloud Leopard made a move, the sword glow with traces of lightning would slash down, enveloping the Cloud Leopard within the sword aura and leaving it no choice but to take a beating.

If anyone else were to see this, they would have been shocked. When had the Cloud Leopard ever been in the hands of someone of the same cultivation level? It could not even withstand a single blow.

If it wasn't because he was weak, why would he play such tricks? Now that he was in Tianwu County, he could finally cultivate to his heart's content. He no longer had to hide anymore.

Qiao Nan thirsted for more power, but in order to survive in the capital, he had no choice but to slow down his cultivation. Even so, he had already reached the Human Realm.

"Enough, it looks like I've already mastered this Rushing Thunder Sword Technique." Qiao Nan looked at the sliver of lightning on the sword, and was very satisfied.

This Rushing Thunder Sword Technique was left behind by Qiao Nan's father, Qiao Nan didn't dare to slack off at all times. It had been ten years before he managed to cultivate this technique.

"Puchi!" Qiao Nan's sword pierced the Flowing Cloud Leopard's throat and the Flowing Cloud Leopard fell down. Qiao Nan swung his blade and easily took out the cobblestone sized demon core from the head of the Cloud Leopard. This was a very precious item, and its value was very high.

His actions were clean, smooth, and extremely skilled. This was something that he did frequently.

"With a vast sea, a fish swimming in the wind and birds soaring in the sky, I finally no longer have to stealthily hunt demon beasts to train myself." Qiao Nan licked his lips in excitement. He took his sword and ran towards the depths of the mountain
