Chapter 67

The Poison Snake Gang.

"Report!"

In the main hall of the Poison Snake Gang, the gang leader was seated on his throne. A member of the Poison Snake Gang entered from outside and immediately knelt on the ground. If the young master had an accident and the gang leader blamed it on someone, many people would suffer.

The gang leader had only one son, Xie Tianzong, who was naturally a precious gem. If Xie Tianzong died, many people would likely be executed. This person was merely reporting the news, but his body was trembling, fearing that the gang leader would vent his anger on him.

"What happened?"

The gang leader of the Poison Snake Gang was once a disciple of the Heavy Sword Sect. Unfortunately, he later betrayed the Heavy Sword Sect due to some matters. To the vast Heavy Sword Sect, the gang leader of the Poison Snake Gang was not a significant figure, so they did not bother to pursue him.

Even in the Sky Splitting Sword Sect, a peak True Qi Realm martial artist was not considered much. Let alone the Heavy Sword Sect, which was even stronger than the Sky Spliting Sword Sect. Moreover, the Poison Snake Gang was far from the Heavy Sword Sect, so there were no issues.

"Reporting to the gang leader, the young master has been kidnapped, and they are asking you to personally go and save him!"

This person immediately recounted the entire incident without any concealment. He could feel that the gang leader was already furious, hoping that he would not be blamed. Although he was just a messenger, the gang leader was known for his brutal temper, and everyone was aware of this.

"Eighteen subordinates all dead, and my son was captured at the One Line Sky? What young man has such audacity?"

In fact, the gang leader of the Poison Snake Gang was somewhat uneasy. A fifteen-year-old youth being so powerful must have come from a major force. The Poison Snake Gang was a minor force. Not to mention the Heavy Sword Sect, even the Sky Splitting Sword Sect could easily wipe out the Poison Snake Gang a hundred times over.

"This... I don't know, please forgive me, gang leader!"

The messenger kept kowtowing, hoping the gang leader would spare him. After Ling Dao arrived in An Mountain County, he entered the Sky Splitting Sword Sect and did not leave. This was his first time out, so others could not gather any information about him.

"Waste of space!"

The gang leader suddenly stood up from his seat, walked to the messenger, and kicked him away. The messenger coughed up blood, got up, and knelt down again. Fortunately, the gang leader did not continue his assault, or he might have been killed.

"Prepare, we will head to One Line Sky tomorrow! To dare kidnap my son, truly reckless! As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon cannot overcome a local snake. No matter which major force you come from, One Line Sky will be your burial ground tomorrow!"

A cold light flashed in the gang leader's eyes, and he then gathered the more powerful martial artists in the Poison Snake Gang. Apart from him, a peak True Qi Realm martial artist, there were three late-stage True Qi Realm martial artists in the entire Poison Snake Gang.

The Poison Snake Gang had been tyrannical for many years, and this was the first time someone dared to target his son. As long as he acted quickly and left no traces, there would be no issues. At just fifteen years old, no matter how powerful, it wouldn't be much. The death of such a disciple would not cause a major force to take drastic action.

...

Not long after Ling Dao set out, Xie Tianzong woke up. The horse moved forward, dragging Xie Tianzong on the ground, causing him immense pain. Xie Tianzong's back was already torn to shreds, and his back was a mess of blood and flesh.

Even if Xie Tianzong wanted to faint, he couldn't. The intense pain made cold sweat pour from his forehead. He kept screaming in agony, but Ling Dao ignored him and continued, leaving a trail of blood.

Fortunately, Xie Tianzong was once a True Qi Realm martial artist. If he were an ordinary person, he would have died on the way. Of course, it was also thanks to Ling Dao not intending to kill him; otherwise, he would have died long ago and wouldn't have made it to One Line Sky.

One Line Sky, as the name suggests, is a narrow gap between two cliffs, where the sky visible through the gap looks like a thin line. After entering One Line Sky, Ling Dao dismounted and dug a large pit, throwing Xie Tianzong into it.

"Don't do this, if you keep torturing me, I'll die. If I die, my father won't come."

The current Xie Tianzong did not dare to threaten Ling Dao. If he angered Ling Dao, he might really be buried alive. Unfortunately, Ling Dao ignored him and buried him, leaving only his head outside to ensure he didn't die.

"Hey, are you just going to leave us here?"

During this time, Chunlan and Zhong Feifei had also recovered some strength. Chunlan and Zhong Feifei dismounted from the horse. Seeing Xie Tianzong's miserable state, they felt a sense of relief. Even Chunlan's attitude towards Ling Dao improved slightly.

Of course, the most important thing was that Ling Dao had previously killed eighteen people, demonstrating his strength, which intimidated Chunlan. So Chunlan did not dare to act recklessly towards Ling Dao; otherwise, she would have already spoken harshly to him.

"Of course not, One Line Sky is such a good place, if we don't prepare some boulders, it would be a waste!"

On both sides were steep cliffs. If boulders were thrown from above, the people below would have no place to hide because One Line Sky was too narrow. Xie Tianzong's face changed when he heard Ling Dao's words. He finally understood why Ling Dao brought him here.

"Shut up, it's not your turn to speak!"

Ling Dao had already torn some strips of cloth from Xie Tianzong's body and now used them to gag his mouth. He had to deal with the gang leader of the Poison Snake Gang and couldn't let Xie Tianzong reveal the plan.

"What? You want us to move boulders for you?"

Chunlan's eyes widened in anger, but she only dared to do so much. If she fought with Ling Dao, she would surely lose. Looking at the buried Xie Tianzong, Chunlan did not dare to speak recklessly.

"Master Ling saved our lives, asking us to do some tasks is nothing."

Zhong Feifei smiled. She was not doing it to help Ling Dao or to repay him, but to help herself. She also wanted to deal with the gang leader of the Poison Snake Gang, and throwing boulders from above was a good strategy, so she naturally wanted to help. Only by killing the gang leader of the Poison Snake Gang could she obtain a mid-grade sword technique.

Both she and Chunlan were True Qi Realm martial artists. After recovering some strength, moving boulders weighing several thousand pounds should not be a problem. Ling Dao was even more ruthless, choosing boulders weighing over ten thousand pounds, determined to crush the people of the Poison Snake Gang.

"I don't understand, the gang leader of the Poison Snake Gang has been in the martial world for many years. If you throw boulders from here, how could he not think of it? Will the gang leader of the Poison Snake Gang really fall for this?"

On the cliff, boulders were already placed, and Zhong Feifei was sweating. Taking advantage of the break, she voiced her doubts.
