1019 Sleepless Night! (2/2)
When they were told that Ye Xiao had the Regeneration Ink Lotus that was nearly turning… When they confirmed what Li Qingzhou said was true…
”How could you just leave them there? What if he runs away? You pig head!”
The elder generation had scolded Li Qingzhou so badly because of this!
”What if Ye Clan people reached him tonight? What if they just take him away or make a deal with him? Wouldn't it become a flash in the pan for us? Wouldn't we be falling down to the bottom soon? Only one lotus, but if we have the same quality as the lotus that young man has, it is enough to please Misty Cloud Palace. If Ye Clan have a few of that, Misty Cloud Palace may support Ye Clan to be the dominator of the entire Oracle District! It would be easy for Misty Cloud Palace!”
”Ye Clan is deep down in the bottom. They won't give up the last hope. For Ye Clan, that young man is not just a hope to save them, but also hope for a boost to the highest position in the district!”
”You bastard actually left him there… You actually came back and acted like you have achieved something great! You actually shamelessly asked for reward…”
After all the scolding and abuse to Li Qingzhou, Li Clan urgently had a leadership meeting.
”We have to make a full preparation for this. We can't allow any mistakes!”
Li Clan gathered almost all the elites in a short time to go to the mountain.
The elites were in two groups. One group spread away to guard all the roads Ye Clan could get on to Ye Xiao. The other group began a watch on Ye Xiao, Han Bingxue and Xuan Bing.
”Just make sure they are still there. Do not approach. Qingzhou's concern is reasonable too. We don't know their capability. If we get closer, maybe they will notice us. If they get to know how important the lotus is for us, they may raise the price. We don't want any accidents. Any delay or mistake could lead to an unaffordable loss…”
Li Clan had sent out hundreds of good men, nearly all the elites. Everybody was carefully on guard.
They were waiting for the dawn. When the sun came out, it was time to move!
Everybody of the Li Clan stayed awake the whole night.
For Li Clan, Ye Xiao was like a savior who was sent by heavens.
Ye Clan was having a huge problem, but it was still not easy for the Li Clan to take over the connection with Misty Cloud Palace. For the recent few years, Misty Cloud Palace's need for Regeneration Ink Lotus had been growing. The lotuses all the clans in Oracle District collected were far less than Misty Cloud Palace needed!
Regeneration Ink Lotus was never easy to find.
It would be a great fortune to find just one from time to time.
They had to take great risks to get the lotuses. If they met the guardian beasts, it was ninety percent possible that the beasts would swallow them alive! That was not a joke!
For example, Li Clan could collect fifty of that lotuses in one year, but Misty Cloud Palace needed about ten thousand!
That was the truth!
Li Qingzhou was so certain that Li Clan could replace Ye Clan. He was bragging.
After all, even if Ye Clan failed to get even one lotus, it was only fifty short compared to the Li Clan.
For Misty Cloud Palace, it was a small number that didn't count.
However, the Regeneration Ink Lotus that Ye Xiao showed them was not the same thing. A Regeneration Ink Lotus that was about to turn into Regeneration Jade Lotus was equal to ten thousand normal Regeneration Ink Lotuses. A lotus like that was rare. One such lotus was equal to the amount that Misty Cloud Palace needed for one year!
