Chapter 94

In the five-story pavilion where the leader of the Nine Dragon Gang resided, a lively atmosphere was unfolding.

"On such a fine day, have another drink."

"Haha, I agree!"

Unaware of the chaos in the banquet hall, Yan Chianshi was drinking with a group of Taoist masters.

Qing Shui Daozhang had brought along the five elders of the Huangshan Sect, with whom he had a close relationship.

At this moment, the people from the orthodox and heterodox factions, who were supposed to be unable to coexist, seemed to be united like a single force.

There was no other choice.

The Nine Dragon Gang had handed over the Yellow Green Escort Agency to the Huangshan Sect and had also provided a substantial amount of secret funds to their individual pockets.

"Truly, I never imagined it."

"Agreed. To gain such incredible power without any cultivation."

"If I hadn't followed my senior brother here, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life."

It was because Yan Chianshi had bestowed the power of the Demon God to those who had decided to follow the Blood Sect, just like Qing Shui Daozhang.

After a long time of being unable to break through the intermediate peak realm, they had now reached the supreme realm.

Satisfied with the flattery from the five elders, Qing Shui Daozhang smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you? If you leave the rigid sect leader and follow me, you will never regret your future."

"That's why we rushed here."

"Haha, that's right."

Yan Chianshi was secretly sneering at this scene but showed no sign of it on the surface.

"Ah, of course, I will never forget the support of the Gang leader and the sect."

"Don't mention it. Once you join the sect, we are brothers regardless of the orthodox or heterodox factions. Now, the sect will help the Huangshan Sect rise to the top of the martial alliance in every way."

The first-rate power of the martial alliance!

Greed began to flicker in their eyes.

If someone else had said it, they would have dismissed it as absurd.

But the Blood Sect had the power to make Yan Chianshi's words come true.

The immense power bestowed upon them.

Endless financial resources like the sea.

And the unknown reach of the sect members.

'That's right, every force has some flaws. Joining the sect was truly the best choice.'

Just as he thought this, Qing Shui Daozhang quietly spoke to Yan Chianshi.

"Truly, I was surprised. I never imagined that 'He' would also be a member of the sect. If you had told me this earlier, I would have joined without a moment's hesitation."

The mention of 'He' by Qing Shui Daozhang made the other elders hold their breath.

They were still half-believing, half-doubting. It was an unbelievable and shocking fact.

"Since it is one of the sect's greatest secrets, please understand, Daozhang. The good news is that 'He' knows of your joining and is very pleased. He has asked to meet you privately for a drink soon, so you will receive a summons."

"Oh!"

The elders gasped at Yan Chianshi's words.

'He' had requested a meeting.

This was something they would never have dared to think of before.

Qing Shui Daozhang tried not to show his excitement in front of his disciples, but his lips kept curling upward.

"Haha, please call me whenever..."

Suddenly, a loud explosion shook the ground.

"Whoa!"

"What, what is it!"

The sky was clear, yet the sound of thunder struck, causing confusion on everyone's faces.

Boom!

But the explosions continued.

'Could it be...?'

Yan Chianshi, feeling an inexplicable unease, immediately opened the window where the sound was coming from.

"..."

His eyes widened in shock at the scene before him.

"What, what is that!"

The Taoists, including Qing Shui Daozhang, who had just looked out the window, were also stunned.

Boom!

Fireworks were exploding in the sky, and as they exploded, they emitted a blood-red smoke.

"Ah!"

"Ugh!"

The five elders groaned.

A terrifying aura was emanating from Yan Chianshi's entire body.

His face was contorted like a demon's.

It was understandable.

Those fireworks were a signal to retreat, used only in the worst-case scenario when facing annihilation.

Suddenly, urgent footsteps echoed from outside.

"Lord Ling, did you see it!"

The person who appeared, opening the door, was Zhaoyixian, the leader of the Nine Dragon Gang's security force.

"..."

"It's the signal from Meng Denghao. We don't have time. Quickly activate the formation."

"Understood!"

"Since it has come to this, there's no choice! Eliminate all evidence and witnesses, and retreat to the main base! You, lead half of the attack force outside the manor! Prevent them from reaching here by sweeping away the civilians and buying time!"

"Understood!"

Zhaoyixian immediately left the room.

"Emergency! Everyone, prepare for war!"

With Zhaoyixian's shout, the entire Nine Dragon Gang began to move in unison.

Seeing this, the Taoists from the Huangshan Sect, unable to hide their panic, bombarded Yan Chianshi with questions.

"Gang leader, what's happening?"

"R, really? War?"

"Is everything alright?"

"Are you going to fight the Qinglong Sword?"

They had a hunch.

There was only one reason for the Nine Dragon Gang to move so urgently.

Something must have happened in the banquet hall, and because of it, Liu Ziliang and the Jin Yi Wei had decided to attack the Nine Dragon Gang.

However, Yan Chianshi's attitude had completely changed from before.

"Shut up! I don't have time to listen to your whining!"

He glared at them as if they were insects and then headed to a corner of the room.

Creak!

Rattle!

When Yan Chianshi pulled the candlestick attached to the wall, it descended, and the sound of gears meshing began.

Grinding!

The wall then split into two, revealing a hidden space.

"Ah!"

"That, that's!"

The Taoists, including Qing Shui Daozhang, showed the most shocked reactions they had ever had at the sight of the object inside the wall.

If something had indeed happened in the banquet hall, many witnesses would have seen it with their own eyes. How could they be eliminated? The method was now revealed.

"Explosive Thunder!"

"The greatest taboo in the martial world, why is it here!"

Explosive Thunder.

A monster created by the Explosive Thunder Master, who had once made all of Central Plains tremble.

Surprised by its unimaginable destructive power, he had only made ten and destroyed all the blueprints.

But inside the revealed wall were not one but three Explosive Thunders.

If the three Explosive Thunders exploded simultaneously, the entire city would vanish without a trace.

"Right, I can reset everything and start anew."

At that moment, Yan Chianshi, looking at the Explosive Thunders, muttered with a mad glint in his eyes.

The Taoists, including Qing Shui Daozhang, felt a chill run down their spines at the sight.

Whoosh!

Just then, the Mysterious Flowing Soul Formation was activated.

Just like when Guo Zhushan had used it against the Baiyun Escort Agency, a thick fog that made it impossible to see even a foot ahead began to spread in the inner courtyard of the Nine Dragon Gang.

Now, no one could enter the Nine Dragon Gang.

If he installed the Explosive Thunders and secretly escaped by boat, the massive explosion would hide all the secrets.

Everything seemed to be going according to Yan Chianshi's plan.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a pain-filled scream erupted from outside the window. The voice was all too familiar.

'That voice!'

Yan Chianshi stopped his work and leaned out the window, shouting.

"Meng Denghao! Is that you!"

But Meng Denghao could not respond properly to Yan Chianshi's call, only emitting terrifying groans.

Whoosh!

At that moment, the remaining combat team of the Nine Dragon Gang had arrived at the source of the sound.

"If it's Deputy Leader, show yourself!"

Many weapons were pointed into the fog.

But the response that came from the fog was different.

"Tsk, this fog is annoying."

It was not Meng Denghao but someone else.

Whoosh!

With a sound of dissatisfaction, the fog began to dissipate.

The Blood Sect's sorcerers were very surprised, thinking the formation had been broken, but they quickly checked and sighed in relief.

Fortunately, the formation's effect of blocking intruders remained intact.

The intruder had only altered the part of the formation that produced the fog.

The sorcerers, realizing this, could only blink in confusion.

"!"

The combat team's eyes shook as if an earthquake had struck when they finally saw the intruder.

The mysterious intruder who had thrown the Nine Dragon Gang into chaos was, surprisingly, just one person.

None other than Liu Xin Yun, who was looking at them with a very relaxed expression.

"Ugh!"

At his feet lay a grotesque figure, half-wolf, half-human, covered in blood.

Meng Denghao, who had revealed his full power through the grace of the sect.

The combat team was at a loss at the sight of their deputy leader, who they had never seen in such a terrible state.

"..."

"Please... just kill me..."

At that moment, Meng Denghao managed to speak in a strained voice.

"Alright, since the dog is listening, I'll give you a reward."

Then, Liu Xin Yun, with a cold smile, stomped on Meng Denghao's head.

With a sound like a watermelon splitting, Meng Denghao's head exploded.

The body, now without its master, trembled and then stopped moving.

The combat team felt their blood run cold at the horrific scene, but the leaders quickly shouted to regain control.

"There's only one enemy!"

"Everyone, form the defensive formation!"

"Kill him with combined attacks!"

Clang! Clang! Clang!

With the leaders' shouts, the combat team, each wielding their weapons, spread out in a wide defensive formation and prepared to attack.

Despite half of the combat team being sent to deal with Liu Ziliang and the Jin Yi Wei, hundreds of martial artists still remained.

The combat team, drawing on their hidden martial arts, exuded an overwhelming aura.

Despite being surrounded like a rat in a trap, Liu Xin Yun showed no fear on his face.

"Alone... that's disappointing."

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As he spoke, dozens of large and small summoning circles appeared at his feet.

Snap! Snap!

Roar!

From within, dozens of skeletal soldiers and monsters appeared.

Finally, the Lycanthrope he had just killed also rose to its feet.

Looking at the combat team, whose bodies were frozen at the sight of the undead army, Liu Xin Yun said with a cold smile.

"Open your mouths. I'm about to cast a spell."
