At night two days later, all the stores on Jinshi Street had already been tightly closed.
It wasn't that they didn't want to do business, but there were hundreds of people from the Qingkou Hall and the Three Swords Gang gathered on Jinshi Street!
Both sides were rubbing their fists. The smell of gunpowder was very strong, as if they could fight at any time.
The leaders of the Three Swords Gang were Bao Pengyi's two subordinates, Nie Kun and Ning Qi. They were both at the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
The Qingkou Hall was not to be outdone. They also had two leaders at the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, Tian Hu and Ren Gan.
At this moment, the four of them were talking bad about each other in front of others.
Tian Hu of the Qingkou Hall was a burly man. He had the most violent temper. Under Nie Kun's provocation, he couldn't bear it anymore. He raised the big axe in his hand and chopped down!
Tian Hu's attack was like a signal. Everyone began to attack at this moment!
Ren Gan wanted to pull him back, but he didn't have time. He could only draw his short sword and face the seventh leader, Ning Qi.
A great battle for control of Jinshi Street began.
Both sides had accumulated grievances for a long time. Once they started fighting, they instantly became angry and bloodthirsty.
Every moment, there were people falling to the ground.
However, they knew that the most important part of this battle was the battle between the leaders of both sides!
Tian Hu brandished his heavy axe, opening and closing with ferocious might, continuously forcing Nie Kun to retreat.
Nie Kun held his long sword. Although he was being pushed back step by step, his expression was calm.
On the other side, Ning Qi and Ren Gan were also evenly matched.
It was a protracted battle between them. It was difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time.
Just as the Qingkou Hall and the Three Swords Gang were fighting, two figures stood on the roof in the distance.
One of them was a middle-aged man around 30 years old. He had a square appearance, wore brocade clothes, and had an extraordinary bearing. He didn't look like an ordinary person.
Beside him stood a short and slightly stooped person. That person was covered in a black robe and his face couldn't be seen clearly.
The middle-aged man said indifferently, "Old Mister Liu, who do you think will win among the four?"
"Gaga, that depends on who City Lord Qu wants to win."
The old man's voice was abnormally hoarse and even had a hint of ear-piercing feeling, making people feel uncomfortable.
The middle-aged man was the newly appointed City Lord of Shang Yang City, Qu Xinran.
As for the old man surnamed Liu, he was naturally Leng Shiqi in disguise.

Back to two days ago.
After leaving Bao Pengyi's mansion, Leng Shiqi planned to find a way to lure him out.
However, Bao Pengyi had always been extremely cautious. If they wanted to lure him out, they would have to do something big for him.
Coincidentally, he heard that the Three Swords Association seemed to have the intention to fight for Jinshi Street, so he thought of a plan.
And the most important part of this plan was the City Lord of Shang Yang City, Qu Xin Ran!
On the surface, this matter didn't seem to have much to do with City Lord Qu, but in fact, it wasn't.
Mao Cai's information also mentioned that this Jinshi Street was one of the few bustling streets in the City Lord's Mansion. How could Qu Xin Ran have the thought of giving up so easily?
Leng Shiqi vaguely felt that there was more to this than met the eye.
For example, the news that Qingkou Hall obtained was purposely released by the Three Swords Association. Then, could the news that the Three Swords Association obtained be purposely released by the City Lord's Mansion?
At that time, the more Leng Shiqi thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
However, Leng Shiqi didn't understand what City Lord Qu wanted to do. However, he knew one thing, and that was that Qu Xin Ran would definitely make a move against these two gangs!
Of course, he couldn't destroy these two gangs all at once, but he could weaken their power to gain a foothold.
"If that's the case, I might as well help you." Leng Shiqi thought to himself.
Thus, he disguised himself. Because he was still young and not very tall, he could only disguise himself as an old man.
He smeared paint on his arms and neck, and used a voice changing technique to imitate an old man's voice. Then, he snuck into the City Lord's Mansion.
In the City Lord's Mansion, there were only a few sleepy city guards standing guard. In terms of defense, it was much worse than the Three Swords Association.
On the other hand, Qu Xin Ran was still burning the midnight oil, dealing with various matters. Suddenly!
The lights on the walls and the desk in the room flickered, as if they would go out at any moment.
Qu Xin Ran's expression changed. He slowly put down his hand that was holding the brush and said without changing his expression, "Who are you? I would like to meet you."
The short old man that Leng Shiqi disguised as walked out from behind the curtain and said with a sharp voice, "Hehe, City Lord Qu, you flatter me. I'm just a lonely ghost, I don't deserve to be called an expert."
Qu Xin Ran saw that someone had entered his room without him noticing. He couldn't help but be shocked, but his face remained calm.
"Excuse me for not going out to meet you. May I know senior's name?"
"This old man's surname is Liu."
"So it's Senior Liu."
Leng Shiqi didn't want to talk too much with Qu Xin Ran because he had experienced too little in this world. Now that he was disguised as an old man, he was afraid that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make. Thus, he directly said,
"This old man has disturbed City Lord Qu this time because of Jinshi Street."
When Qu Xin Ran heard the words' Jinshi Street ', a glint of light flashed across his eyes. But before he could speak, Leng Shiqi continued.
"City Lord Qu doesn't need to say more. Now the City Lord's Mansion in Shang Yang City is being suppressed by two gangs. If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to accept this.
Jinshi Street is indeed a piece of fat meat, a piece of fat meat that causes two tigers to fight.
But this piece of fat meat is not enough to hurt the two tigers.
So this old man can help City Lord and let these two tigers really fight to the death. At that time, City Lord Qu can sit back and reap the benefits. "
Qu Xin Ran heard this and put his hands behind his back. On the surface, he still looked calm, but his fingers kept shaking. It could be seen that his heart was not so calm.
He said in a deep voice, "Then what does Senior Liu want?"
Leng Shiqi replied, "I want the heads of the Four Spiritual Guards!"
"Four Spiritual Guards?" Qu Xin Ran's eyes flashed with doubt.
"Yes, this old man and the Four Spiritual Guards have an endless hatred, but they have been hiding in the mansion with Bao Pengyi and can't make a move."
"So, Senior Liu wants to use the matter of Jinshi Street to lure them out?"
"Yes."
"It's not that I look down on Senior, but the Four Spiritual Guards are all spirit cultivators in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and it is said that they are also good at joint attacks, comparable to the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Senior, I'm afraid …"
Qu Xin Ran's words came to an abrupt end because a dagger was already at his throat. At this time, there was no trace of Leng Shiqi in front of his eyes.
"City Lord Qu doesn't need to worry about this kind of thing." Leng Shiqi's voice came from behind Qu Xin Ran.
Qu Xin Ran's heart had already been set off a monstrous wave. As the City Lord, he was at least at the Spirit Transformation Realm, but he couldn't even catch a glimpse of the other party's figure!
He said with difficulty, "Senior Liu is really powerful."
When Leng Shiqi heard Qu Xin Ran call him Senior instead of Senior, he knew that this matter was settled.
Next, the two discussed some specific plans, and Leng Shiqi left.
In the next two days, under Qu Xin Ran's urging, the conflict between the Qingkou Hall and the Three Blades Gang in Jinshi Street became more and more intense, and tonight's matter happened.
