Chapter 1260 - 1254 Dragon Stone Mountain

These two were considered outstanding juniors of the Mo Family. Mo Dongyu had long planned to have them become disciples under Li Changlin.

The journey was silent. Everyone sat in the business car and arrived in Jincheng three hours later.

Upon arriving at Zhiwei Real Estate, Zhang Yang had already been waiting for a long while. Everyone proceeded to the conference room, where Li Changlin inquired about Zhang Yang’s investigation.

Zhao Zhicheng had left Zhiwei and surprisingly provided the prosecutor’s office with evidence of Zhiwei’s tax evasion, which made Li Changlin realize the severity of the matter. Before boarding the plane, he had already called Zhang Yang to investigate.

"Young Master, on the surface, the one taking action is Zhao Zhicheng, but behind him, there are traces of the Long Family, Su Family, and Chen Family," Zhang Yang said as he presented some documents. The Long Family was one of Jincheng’s Four Great Families and had an alliance with the Wang Family.

As for the Su Family, Su Yuhai was the Deputy City Lord of Jincheng, and the family was extraordinarily powerful as well.

Meanwhile, the Chen Family was even more formidable. As the top force in Nanfu Province, their family patriarch was a Peak Void Force supreme existence.

Rumor had it in Nanfu Province that the Chen Family Patriarch, Chen Haixuan, possessed the strength equivalent to the Power of Five Dragons and was close to breaking through to Half-step Inch Strength.

Li Changlin opened the materials Zhang Yang had gathered and discovered that, apart from these three families, the Jiang Family and the Wang Family were also involved.

The Duan Family, however, had not participated, as most of their family’s masters had been slaughtered by Li Changlin some time ago, drastically weakening their strength.

After reading, a gleam flickered in Li Changlin’s eyes. He noticed the repeated mention of a piece of land in the materials, called Dragon Stone Mountain.

"Mingzhu, what exactly is this Dragon Stone Mountain?" Li Changlin pushed the file toward Yang Mingzhu and tapped the paper with his finger.

Yang Mingzhu focused on it for a couple of seconds, then lightly said, "Dragon Stone Mountain is a barren hill. Five years ago, my father bought it. Initially, he planned to develop it into a villa area, but for some unknown reason, it was later abandoned."

Five years ago, when Yang Zhiwei was in charge, he purchased a seventy-year operating lease for Dragon Stone Mountain from the government. Yet for reasons unknown, the project ended up shelved.

Li Changlin raised his eyes toward Zhang Yang and asked in a deep voice, "Did you investigate this Dragon Stone Mountain matter?"

Zhang Yang quickly nodded and said, "I sent a team to look into it, but due to time constraints, we didn’t uncover much useful information. However, Li Rong overheard some rumors by chance."

Li Rong was a top enforcer for the Golden Tiger Gang, with a strength level at the mid-stage of Inner Strength.

That, however, was a thing of the past. Under Li Changlin’s guidance, Li Rong’s level had now advanced to the late stage of Dark Energy, with a strength comparable to the Middle Threshold Stage.

"What did he hear?" Li Changlin’s gaze sharpened, and he asked hurriedly.

"The rumor came from a family living below Dragon Stone Mountain," Zhang Yang explained. "It’s said that three hundred years ago, the Long Family once produced an Inch Force Expert. But somehow, they offended a top-tier power, and that expert was ultimately killed at Dragon Stone Mountain."

"The Long Family produced an Inch Force Expert?" Li Changlin froze briefly, then laughed mockingly. "Even so, what worth does a dead Inch Force Expert have?"

"A dead Inch Force Expert indeed has no value. However, there’s another rumor: allegedly, that Long Family expert didn’t die immediately. Before his death, he left his legacy hidden somewhere in Dragon Stone Mountain to await a destined person." Zhang Yang couldn’t help but chuckle as he shared this tale.

"Whether that Inch Force Expert ever existed is already suspect. And even if they did, after three hundred long years, who knows if their legacy has been worn away by time?" Zhang Yang said with a smile.

However, Li Changlin held a different view. He narrowed his eyes, lightly tapping his fingers on the conference table, and after a moment, said deeply, "Let’s go take a look at Dragon Stone Mountain."

"Alright." Regardless of their doubts, Zhang Yang dared not disobey Li Changlin’s orders.

With that, everyone rose and left the conference room.

Once downstairs, they got into their vehicles and headed toward Dragon Stone Mountain.

Dragon Stone Mountain was located in the southeastern part of Jincheng, over sixty miles from the city center, surrounded by undeveloped land.

After roughly forty minutes, five cars arrived at the base of Dragon Stone Mountain.

Zhang Yang’s car took the lead, heading toward the family home mentioned by Li Rong.

Upon reaching the destination, they discovered that more than ten vehicles were already parked outside the house, with dozens of individuals standing in front, all appearing to be martial practitioners.

The group got out of their vehicles one after another. As Li Changlin looked ahead, he suddenly spotted some familiar figures. Frowning slightly, he said, "Zhao Zhicheng, Long Aotian, Long An—what are they doing here?!"

"No wonder Long Aotian wanted to acquire Zhiwei!" Yang Mingzhu stood beside Li Changlin and suddenly seemed to recall something. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "He must’ve found out about the Long Family’s Inch Force Expert from centuries past, which is why he wanted to take Dragon Stone Mountain from Zhiwei’s hands!"

"If the legend of Dragon Stone Mountain is true, Long Aotian’s motives make sense. As for Zhao Zhicheng betraying Zhiwei and pulling these underhanded moves, he cannot be pardoned," Li Changlin said calmly as he led the group forward.

"Stop!"

"Who are you? Stop immediately!"

"Irrelevant people, leave at once! The Long Family is conducting business here, so don’t interfere!"

Seeing Li Changlin and his party approach, several Long Family juniors stepped forward, blocking their path.

"Get lost!" Li Changlin’s gaze turned cold as he shouted sternly.

"Kid, are you looking for death?" One of the Long Family juniors, clearly the leader, sneered menacingly. "Take a good look! Our Long Family’s young master is here. I advise you not to cause trouble!"

"What nonsense, blocking the path of The Nearly Divine Tycoon!" Li Changlin sneered, then glanced at Zhang Yang and commanded coldly, "Disable him!"

"Yes!" Zhang Yang immediately obeyed, stepping forward with an intimidating posture.

"Zhang Yang!" That person clearly recognized him, and upon seeing him, a hint of panic flashed across their face. Still, they tried to sound fierce, yelling, "Zhang Yang, don’t do something you’ll regret! Offending our Long Family will leave the Golden Tiger Gang with no place in Jincheng!"

"So much useless talk!" Zhang Yang smirked coldly, raising his hand and striking directly at the opponent’s forehead.
