Chapter 147: Medicine Store
After destroying the Liu family, the overall situation in Sanyang City was almost settled. Although there was still a pharmacy family named Sun left, that was no longer a concern. Moreover, Zhao Ge absolutely did not believe that the Sun family, which usually kept a low profile, could produce a master of Qi training today. If that was the case, then the master of Qi training would be too worthless.

"Meng De, have things over there been settled?" Zhao Ge began to inquire about the situation at this moment.

Li Yi said, "After killing the two hall owners there, I went to the city lord's mansion. The city lord's name is Fan Zhizhou, a disciple of an aristocratic family, a descendant of some turtle, with some background and strength. In addition to practicing acupuncture, he also has an old servant who practices acupuncture, but he is still no match for me. After beating him up, he became obedient. But in the end, I didn't kill the two of them because I thought it would be troublesome to kill them. Then I would have to take revenge and settle accounts. I was too lazy to bother with that."

"Why not just ask them to pay some compensation? After all, the city lord was not personally involved in this matter, and his hands are not stained with the blood of the Zhao family martial arts school."

Zhao Ge nodded and said, "Meng De, you did a good job. Killing a disciple from an aristocratic family who has practiced acupuncture is indeed very troublesome. The Zhao family martial arts school needs to be reorganized and rebuilt now, and it can't afford such trouble. It's enough if he is willing to give in and make compensation. If we kill them all, we won't be able to gain a foothold in Sanyang City."

Practicing martial arts is not just about fighting and killing, it also involves learning about human relationships and worldly wisdom.

Now that the great revenge has been taken, you can't be too concerned about the rest. Otherwise, if you are too harsh, you will inevitably be retaliated in the future.

"Where's Skinny Monkey? Why can't I see him? Did something happen to him?" Li Yi suddenly noticed that there was one less person around him.

Zhao Ge said, "Shou Hou is fine. The three abbey masters discovered the whereabouts of the traitor, so I asked him to bring a few blood-training warriors to settle accounts with the traitor. If everything goes well, Shou Hou will bring the traitor back soon."

"So that's how it is." Li Yi nodded and said, "Are those the masters of the three major workshops? Are they also allies this time, just like the Weiwu Escort Agency?"

"Yes, if the Zhao family martial arts school wants to take root and gain a foothold, it needs allies. Their three major workshops are quite friendly and not only did they not take advantage of our misfortune, but they also protected some of my disciples of the Zhao family martial arts school. So as a master, I am willing to give them some face and work together to conquer Sanyang City. As a result, they have worked harder in this operation and have mobilized many blood-training warriors to help." Zhao Ge stroked his beard and nodded.

The three abbots nearby heard the two people chatting and hurried over to greet them.

"Master of the Weapon Shop, Zhang Tiefeng greets Li Yi, Master Li."

"Master of Treasure House, Shen Shi greets Master Li."

"Flower shop owner, Third Sister Hua greets Master Li."

The three abbots all bowed in unison with a respectful demeanor, not daring to be the slightest bit rude. After all, it was their first meeting, and they couldn't figure out each other's temper, so they were afraid of offending someone without knowing why.

Li Yi was not arrogant. He clasped his fists and returned the greeting: "You are too polite. Thank you for your help this time. Otherwise, my Zhao's martial arts school's revenge would not be so smooth."

"We are all family, there is no need to be so polite. No matter what orders Master Li gives me in the future, I will obey your orders without any ulterior motives. I just hope Master Li can consider my efforts and take care of me in the future." The owner of the flower shop, Sister Hua San, swayed her slender waist and walked forward a few steps. She spoke in a delicate voice, her eyes revealing her charm.

Li Yi's expression remained calm and he was unmoved: "Flower House? What is that place? Is it a brothel?"

"Huafang is not just a brothel. We also have a cloth shop, a restaurant, a dim sum shop, a tea house, etc." Sister Hua San said immediately.

Li Yi said, "I don't like brothels very much. After all, brothels have existed since ancient times, but they can easily breed evil deeds such as buying and selling women, forcing women of good character into prostitution, etc. However, there are too many such things in the world, and I can't control them. I just hope that the brothel owner can be more restrained in Sanyang City in the future."

"Master Li has spoken, so how can I not obey? I will take good care of things in the future and will never do anything that is against the law of nature." Third Sister Hua bowed respectfully, but there was a hint of strangeness in her eyes.

Who would have thought that Li Yi, a ruthless killer, actually has a kind side?
Li Yi nodded, and then turned and said: "Master, there is only one medicine store left, the Sun family. How should we deal with it? Should we attack them all at once?"

Zhao Ge hesitated for a moment. He knew that he could not let the Sun family, the medicine store, go. Just as he was about to speak, Shen Shi, the owner of the Treasure Shop, stepped forward a few steps boldly, then bowed respectfully and said, "I have something to say about the Sun family, the medicine store. I wonder if I should say it or not?"

"Your Treasure House has always been close to the Sun family, the medicine store. Do you want to be a lobbyist now?" Zhao Ge took a look and said, "Just say whatever you want to say. Don't waste your time."

Shen Shi showed a bit of embarrassment on his face, but he still said bluntly: "Just before, the head of the Sun family in the medicine store asked me to tell Master Zhao that the Sun family is willing to voluntarily withdraw from Sanyang City and offer all the mountain treasures, elixirs, gold and silver, and medicine shops in the medicine store to Zhao's martial arts hall, just hoping that the Sun family can be safe and sound."

"Is giving away the family property enough to settle the matter?" Zhao Ge snorted heavily: "Even if we kill them, won't these things still belong to my Zhao's martial arts school?"

"If Master Zhao does this, the Sun family of the pharmacy will have to perish together with them, destroying all the treasures and remedies, and then both sides will be destroyed." Shen Shi said this again, but at this moment, a trace of cold sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

This pressure did not come from Zhao Ge, but from Li Yi standing next to him.

Zhao Ge's eyes moved slightly, as if he was thinking, or weighing, and then he looked to the side: "Meng De, what do you think?"

"The various precious medicines of the Sun family are indeed very important to our Zhao's martial arts school. These medicines can not only heal injured disciples, but also be used to train martial arts school disciples in the future. They can even help the master recover from injuries and improve his cultivation. If these precious medicines are put together, they can even train another master of training. It will be beneficial to the Zhao's martial arts school."

"If we just keep killing people until both sides are in danger, the final result will be that the Zhao family martial arts school will be responsible for a few more lives, which will be useless in the overall situation." Li Yi said calmly.

"Yes, what Meng De said makes sense. The Sun family of the medicine store has all kinds of elixirs and precious medicines, which are very urgently needed for the current Zhao family martial arts school." Zhao Ge nodded: "If we really want to destroy the Sun family, we will be the ones who suffer in the end. So Meng De suggested that we reconcile?"

Li Yi's eyes turned cold, and he said immediately: "No, the Sun family is not sincere enough to reconcile. They want to threaten us by destroying the medicine. It's too naive, Shen Shi? Since you have a connection with the Sun family of the medicine store, then tell them that it is very simple to survive. While giving everything, add ten heads of blood-training warriors, and the head of the big shopkeeper must be among them."

"If they can do it, the rest of the Sun family can leave Sanyang City alive. If they can't, I will knock on their door in a quarter of an hour. As for them wanting to destroy the medicine, let them do it. I, Li Yi, don't care."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the people in the three major districts changed.

Unexpectedly, Li Yi asked the Sun family to add ten blood-training warriors. The Sun family would never agree to that. Without ten blood-training warriors and losing all the family property, the Sun family would probably be completely ruined in the future. But if they did not agree, the Sun family disciples would probably not be able to leave Sanyang City.

Two masters of Qi training are chasing him, and there is no way to go up to heaven or down to earth.

Moreover, the most cruel thing that Li Yi proposed was not to cause the decline of the Sun family, but to cause internal strife in the Sun family.

By then, in order to get these ten heads, there will be chaos within the Sun family. After all, no one is willing to sacrifice their own head.

"Master Shen, aren't my words clear enough? You don't have to reply to the letter and just wait here. Waiting also counts as time." Li Yi's eyes moved and stared at the master.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Li's reminder is very correct. I will ask someone to contact the Sun family right away." Shen Shi felt that he was really in a difficult situation at this moment. If he made this condition known to others, everyone in the Sun family would hate him to death.

But no matter what, Shen Shi had to do this thing, otherwise he would offend Li Yi, and he would not only be a not a human being, but he would probably not even be able to be a human being.

Master Zhao Ge, who was standing by, couldn't help but nod secretly when he heard this, thinking that Meng De's move was brilliant.

If they had just let the Sun family go, they would have made a comeback one day. After all, the Sun family had not lost any members and the people were still loyal. But Meng De's actions were a disaster. Not only did they lose ten blood-training warriors, but the family was also full of contradictions. Even if they left Sanyang City alive, a family that lost the people's hearts would not be able to achieve anything. At this moment, when the other two masters looked at Li Yi again, they were not only respectful, but also awed.

With just one sentence, he could destroy the Sun family's fortune for four generations and foil the other party's plan to save people and lose land. This was not something a simple young master could do.

However, Rong Niang who was beside Li Yi was not surprised by this. She had witnessed before how the eldest senior brother made the Jin family martial arts school fall apart in an instant. With the words that twenty heads could save their lives, he let the disciples of the Jin family martial arts school kill each other. The most clever part was to leave immediately when the chaos started, so that the remaining people would be suspicious of each other, hate each other, and they would not even hate the eldest senior brother.

This method of attacking the heart made Rongniang admire it from the bottom of her heart.

In fact, Li Yi didn't know anything about tactics or strategies. It was just that when he came home from work, he would watch TV dramas about palace fighting, power struggles, wars, etc. He was influenced by them, and as an evolver with a good brain, he could come up with some strategies right away.

In ancient times, he might not be able to be a good strategist, but being a saboteur and a poisoner should not be a problem.

Sometimes Li Yi himself even suspected that the prisoners might really be born evil. After all, they could not learn good things, but could learn bad things.

However, Li Yi felt that compared to these forces' annihilation of the Zhao family martial arts school, what he did was already considered merciful.

At least every family showed some discretion and did not wipe out the roots.

I just don’t know whether this kind of kindness is a good thing or a bad thing.

Just like that, about a quarter of an hour passed.

On the street not far away, there was an old man with half white hair and beard, who looked to be about fifty years old and covered in blood, riding a horse and rushing towards this side.

"It's the head manager of the Sun family's pharmacy, Sun Yaoren." The owner of the flower shop, Hua Sanjie, immediately recognized the man.

Zhao Ge narrowed his eyes, "He came to find us. It seems that the shopkeeper Sun was forced into a corner by Meng De's request, and now he has to show up in person. But it's a pity for this Sun Yaoren. I met him when I entered the Lianqiao realm. He was young and energetic at that time, and had the strength of the peak of the blood training realm. It was very likely that he would break through to the Lianqiao realm. Unfortunately, he encountered Yin soldiers passing through the border when he went into the mountains to collect treasures. As a result, he was injured in the spirit like me. Later, he found the coffin and was cured, but his energy and blood declined seriously. Even with the great medicine for conditioning, he was not at the peak after all. In the end, he failed three times in the end."

"If it weren't for that incident, Sun Yaoren would definitely be a master of Qigong."

Li Yi also turned around and looked at the person who came.

The other party has no hostility, only the determination to die.

After all, his request just now specifically mentioned the man's head. Now he was riding a horse and galloping here, not to take action, but just to get his head.

Shopkeeper Sun quickly reined in his horse, dismounted, took a bag off the horse's back, and threw it to everyone with a calm expression.

As the bag fell to the ground, nine bloody heads rolled out immediately. They were all the blood-training warriors of the Sun family. Moreover, each of these warriors had their eyes wide open and looked extremely angry, and they died with their eyes open.

"I have brought the ten heads you wanted. May I ask Li Yi, the eldest brother of Zhao's Martial Arts School, does what you said before count?" Shopkeeper Sun asked loudly.

He needs Li Yi to answer in public.

Only in this way will he not worry about going back on his word. After all, masters are trustworthy, because only in this way will others be convinced by you. If you go back on your word in front of so many people, it will definitely damage your reputation.

"count."

Li Yi took a step forward and said, "After I take your head, I, Li Yi, can guarantee that everyone in your Sun family can leave Sanyang City safely. As long as you don't seek revenge at the Zhao family martial arts gym in the future, the grudge between us ends here and I will never pursue it."

"That's good."

When Shopkeeper Sun saw that Li Yi agreed, he breathed a sigh of relief, but then he laughed bitterly again: "I didn't expect that you are so smart at such a young age. With just one sentence, you almost caused a civil strife in my Sun family."

Li Yi's eyes were calm as he slowly said, "This is already the best outcome. If I start a massacre, your Sun family will be flooded with blood."

"Yes, this is the best result. You, Zhao Ge, won't feel at ease if the Sun family, which has people and is united, withdraws from Sanyang City like this." Shopkeeper Sun looked at Li Yi and then at Zhao Ge.

Today's defeat is truly not unjustified.

The Zhao family martial arts school has two training methods, and the successor is so young. In the next thirty years, no, at least fifty years, the Zhao family martial arts school will be the only one in Sanyang City, and no one will be able to compete.

"Manager Sun, did you kill all these people? With your strength, you can't kill nine blood-training warriors." Zhao Ge frowned as he looked at the heads on the ground.

Sun Yaoren's energy and blood had seriously declined, and his strength was no longer what it used to be. How could he possibly kill nine blood-training cultivators in such a short period of time?

Shopkeeper Sun laughed loudly at this moment and said, "I poisoned them with a poison that even a blood-training warrior could not resist. Then, in front of those younger generations, I cut off the heads of their fathers and elders one by one. From now on, I will bear the blood debt of the Sun family alone."

"What a courage." Zhao Ge couldn't help but shout when he heard it: "It's a pity for a person like you not to practice the acupoints."

The others were suddenly enlightened when they heard this. They had not expected this to be the case. Manager Sun actually killed nine blood-training warriors of the Sun family with his own hands. In this way, the Sun family would not fall apart, but Manager Sun's lineage was completely finished. After all, the hatred of the Sun family was also on his family and descendants.

"My methods are nothing, Zhao Ge, you've found a good disciple. Sanyang City will be yours from now on." Sun Yaoren roared, and with all his strength, he broke his heart meridians.

As a mouthful of blood gushed out, Sun Yaoren's body could no longer remain stable and he fell straight back.

This last head is added.

The Sun family’s request was fulfilled.

Everyone looked at Sun Yaoren's body in silence. The head manager of the Sun family in Sanyang City was truly a man of character. It was a pity that he was not strong enough to stand on the side and could only go with the flow. He was involved in the fight and lost his life for no reason.
