Chapter 27 Revenge
Chapter 27 Revenge
The Wild Wolf Gang's headquarters.
Haifu sat on the armchair above as if he had lost his soul.
"Dead...all dead?"
His eyes were empty, his fists were clenched, and overnight, all the ninth-rank masters in the gang were killed!
"Who is it?!"
"The other gangs?"
Hai Fu's mind raced. No one but them could kill all his ninth-rank officials in one night!
Outer city!
A ninth-rank expert is a master, especially the second-best expert in the gang, who is about to reach the eighth rank.
Even under his command, they could hold out for quite a while.
Therefore, someone of the eighth rank must make a move.
There are only a handful of eighth-rank masters in the outer city.
"OK!"
Haifu's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were filled with endless anger.
Originally, he only wanted to make a profit before heading to the inner city. He needed to break through to the seventh rank and purchase beast blood, but this kind of thing was controlled by several major families in the inner city, and the price was extremely expensive.
But now... "If you won't let me have an easy time, then you won't get away with it either!"
Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
He's all alone now, and he wants to see if they're afraid.
...
At the same time, all the major gangs in the outer city received the news that the Wild Wolf Gang's ninth-rank master had been wiped out overnight.
I panicked immediately!
They were afraid that Hai Fu had gone mad; they couldn't bear to see an eighth-rank expert go insane.
The outer city is in chaos!
.....
"Gurgle..."
Li Yuan stopped cultivating, slowly opened his eyes, and said, "I'm hungry again!"
In my mind.
Heaven rewards diligence.
Name: Li Yuan
[Realm Level: Rank 8 (Skin Refining)]
[Exercise Method: Health Preservation Exercise (Minor Success (53/200))]
[Skill: Thirteen Deadly Strikes (Beginner (0/100))]
Willow Leaf Step (Beginner (10/100))
.....
】
We're still almost 150 points short!
As the progress increased, Li Yuan's skin became increasingly tough. Now, even if an ordinary person were to strike him with a knife, they wouldn't be able to break through his defenses.
The lines under the skin are becoming more and more numerous!
However, correspondingly, his daily energy intake is also steadily increasing, to the point that he almost has to eat meat every day, otherwise he cannot maintain the qi and blood in his dantian.
"If that's the case, wouldn't the energy consumption be even greater by the time you reach the seventh rank?"
Li Yuan frowned.
Martial artists possess strength that ordinary people can only look up to, but they also spend money like water.
"call--"
Li Yuan shook his head helplessly, then got up and went out. He was hungry... so of course he had to find his mother.
.....
kitchen.
Li Yuan ate heartily, while Li Jun stared wide-eyed at her older brother with curiosity, playfully touching his belly as if afraid he would overeat.
"what?"
"Do you want to eat?"
As he spoke, Li Yuan handed over a pancake.
"I ate a full breakfast and I'm not hungry at all. I'm afraid my brother will be like the people in the story, eating too much and bursting his stomach."
His words made Li Yuan feel that the pancake in his mouth no longer tasted good.
"Children speak without restraint..."
That's the only way I can comfort myself.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Wang Xiulan rolled her eyes at Li Jun. "The more you eat, the stronger you become, understand?"
"Does eating a lot make you stronger?"
Li Jun bit his finger, his little head struggling to process what was happening.
"Alright, go out and have some fun."
Wang Xiulan knew that she couldn't explain it to him, so she urged him to leave to avoid saying anything.
"I'm not going!"
Li Jun plopped down on a small stool. "They all stay home and don't come out. It's no fun playing by myself."
The families in the neighborhood eat only one meal a day, including the children, so they have no energy left to play.
"It's chaos, chaos, it's terrifying."
"Murder in the street!"
"Many businesses have closed down."
...
Just then, a commotion arose outside.
Li Yuan immediately got up and went outside.
"What's wrong, Aunt Chen?"
At this moment, someone spoke up and asked.
"At Xiaomofang, several gangs are fighting, several people are dead, and there's blood everywhere... All the shops are closed!"
"So many people have died... It's terrifying."
Aunt Chen's speech was somewhat incoherent, clearly due to extreme shock.
"What's wrong, old woman!"
At this moment, Uncle Chen heard his wife's voice and quickly ran out.
Aunt Chen held his hand, and after Uncle Chen comforted her for a while, she felt much better.
The people from Willow Lane also came out one after another, and she repeated herself, this time much more smoothly.
"Pah, it's just dogs fighting!"
Someone clapped and cursed, "Good riddance! These people only knew how to oppress ordinary people like us."
"Exactly, it would be a miracle if they all died."
.....
Li Yuan looked at these people, who seemed indignant, but were mostly just venting their frustrations.
"It must have been caused by killing all the ninth-rank members of the Wild Wolf Gang last night."
He guessed the general idea instantly.
It's likely that Hai Fu believes other gangs were behind it, so this is an act of revenge.
"Now that all the shops are closed and we can't even buy wheat bran, aren't we going to starve to death!"
Someone with a modicum of sense spoke up.
Moreover, this is a very serious problem. In the past, shops had limited supplies, and although the supply was small, people could still buy some. Now that the shops are closed, where will they buy them?
As for Xiaolingfang, they definitely wouldn't dare go there.
Instantly!
The person who was just angry calmed down.
"Don't the government authorities care?"
At this moment, someone finally remembered the Emperor.
yamen?
Li Yuan sneered upon hearing this.
"The government is already overwhelmed with the rebels alone; how can it possibly manage anything else?"
"Moreover, since the start of the war, a large portion of the constables in the outer city have been reassigned."
"We simply can't manage it all!"
"How could I dare? They were fighting with knives in the street. I saw a constable hiding in a corner, too afraid to intervene!"
"That's what Aunt Chen said."
Just as Li Yuan had guessed.
"What should we do then?"
The people in Liushufang immediately looked desperate; it was as if the sky had fallen.
Just then, a figure walked over from afar.
The crowd that had been surrounding them immediately dispersed.
He Qiushi.
She kept her head down, as if she hadn't seen these people, and hurried past.
"Sister Qiu's tofu shop is in Xiao Mo Fang!"
"It seems that what Aunt Chen said is true; all the shops are closed."
Li Yuan murmured to himself.
...
"What happened?"
Upon returning home, Wang Xiulan immediately asked.
"A gang conflict has broken out..."
After Li Yuan recounted the events in general, she fell silent. "Sigh, life in Willow Lane is getting harder and harder."
"Alright, Mother!"
"Just live your life well."
"I know."
Wang Xiulan certainly knew this principle; it was just a sigh. After all, she had lived in Willow Lane for so many years and had previously maintained good relationships with various families.
She couldn't help but feel some emotion.
"Oh, by the way, I saw that Qiu is back too. Do you want to go and ask her if she needs any help?"
"It's too hard for her to be alone, she has a good relationship with our family."
"Okay, I'll go ask."
