Chapter 111: Chapter 99: Killing Intent
The various Lotus Gang halls that had previously been in a standoff were still quietly waiting.
"Qiao Yifei is already dead. All halls, immediately take down the Lotus Gang."
About the time it takes to burn an incense stick later, a voice echoed down the street.
At the entrance of the gambling house, Xie Laohu heard this announcement and a smile appeared on his face.
"Li Lao’er, as we discussed earlier, it still counts. If you insist, don’t blame your brother for being ruthless." Xie Laohu said coldly, as many of his fighters were already eager to make a move, their eyes filled with excitement and bloodlust.
Li Lao’er’s face suddenly turned dark upon hearing this.
"Is it false news? A ruse?" Li Lao’er continuously doubted in his heart.
He knew that their gang leader, Qiao Yifei, had built everything from scratch and was known as a martial arts expert renowned throughout the docks.
How could he be killed so easily?
"Li Lao’er, you don’t believe it?" Xie Laohu said indifferently, "Out of loyalty, I’m giving you a chance. Today, my Feiyun Gang has teamed up with Qingzhu Gang to annihilate your Lotus Gang, and we have been preparing for a long time."
"Boss, let’s just crush this gambling house hall; why bother with more words?" Xie Laohu’s subordinates said impatiently, hearing the sounds of fighting from afar.
"If you don’t believe it, listen carefully." Xie Laohu stopped his impatient men with a gesture, his face calm as he looked at Li Lao’er’s increasingly dark expression at the gambling house entrance.
Upon listening carefully, just as Xie Laohu said, the sounds of fighting were coming from all directions. It seemed that the Lotus Gang was truly doomed today.
"How about it?" Xie Laohu looked over sternly.
"I..." A hint of desolation flashed in Li Lao’er’s eyes, and he murmured, "I concede."
Having held on for so long without any news from the higher-ups, with the leadership defeated, if he persisted, he would only be leading his brothers to their deaths.
"Hahaha, knowing the times! You won’t regret it." Xie Laohu laughed heartily.
Taking down the gambling house without bloodshed and at the same time strengthening his own team was much better than fighting with swords and knives, wasn’t it?
Similar situations played out in all the halls controlled by the Lotus Gang.

On the other side, Qiao Yifei’s old steward was taking Qiao Wanying away through a secret passage.
The old steward didn’t have much time to pack, quickly disguised them, found an ox cart to hide Qiao Wanying in a hayrick, left Qiao Yifei’s courtyard, and switched to a carriage, arriving at a not-so-secluded residence.
If someone didn’t receive a message, they would never think they were hiding here, having a taste of the hidden within the city.
This arrangement was indeed secret, without a third person discovering it.
After waking Qiao Wanying, she immediately sat up, pleading, "Grandpa Zhou, I want my father. Take me to find my father."
"Miss, the surroundings are extremely chaotic, and if something were to happen to you, it would be a hindrance to the master. Why not wait quietly for news here?"
Qiao Wanying’s face showed distress, knowing the old steward made sense, but she couldn’t help worrying.
Qiao Yifei’s reminder echoed in her mind, leaving her with no choice but to wait in silence.
About the time it takes to burn two sticks of incense later.
As Qiao Wanying and the old steward grew anxious.
"Grandpa Zhou, what’s happening outside?" Qiao Wanying, hearing the sounds of fighting all around, was deeply shaken.
"Miss, the master, the master is gone." The old steward’s eyes were wet with tears.
"What? Father, father isn’t a master of Condensed Origin, unrivaled at the docks. No one can kill father. Father." Qiao Wanying’s face suddenly became pale, her body felt weak, and she kept retreating.
Finally retreating to the bedside, she sat down blankly, her mind turning blank.
"No, no, father won’t." Thinking of her strongest support collapsing, Qiao Wanying was at a loss.
"Miss, miss, calm yourself. The master is truly gone. You must live well." Old Zhou repressed his sorrow, comforting her.
"No, no." Qiao Wanying finally reacted, tears pouring from her eyes like a spring.
She wanted to cry loudly, but feared making a loud noise that would invite disaster, so she only dared to whimper softly.
"Miss, miss, Yanghua Town is no longer safe, and the master has already arranged an escape route. We are to go to Baiyan City, ensuring your future is worry-free."
"Leave?" Qiao Wanying’s heart trembled.
Her father had spoken to her about a secret, a treasure that could help an ordinary martial artist breakthrough Condensed Origin, a rarity.
"Take the treasure and leave this place with my beloved." Qiao Wanying composed herself, inheriting part of Qiao Yifei’s decisiveness.
*******
"Is this the place where you had secret meetings with Qiao Wanying?" Cheng Xiongjia’s confidant led the timid Ma Qinsong to a quiet courtyard.
"Yes, yes." Ma Qinsong looked at the skilled hands hidden around him, his heart filled with terror.
He had relied on the young lady’s connections to gain a Hall Master position. Now that the Lotus Gang was on the verge of collapse, someone like him would no longer have the same status.
Moreover, in the hands of these people, if he didn’t cooperate, his life might not be spared.
"Hmph!" The leader drew out a shining long knife, placed it on the table, and coldly snorted, "You know what to do, if Qiao Wanying doesn’t come, I’ll have to invite you for a meeting with Yama."
"No, Ying’er will definitely come, she won’t abandon me." Ma Qinsong was extremely anxious, having little assurance, but dared not admit it.
The leader didn’t speak further, closing his eyes to rest and waiting for Qiao Wanying to arrive.
******
"Grandpa Zhou, I beg you, just let Hall Master Ma accompany me. Hall Master Ma has always been loyal and won’t betray us." Qiao Wanying pleaded with an expression of sorrow.
"Miss, the master instructed not to trust anyone." The old steward was very troubled.
He’s already taking a huge risk with Qiao Wanying, taking the treasure. Bringing Ma Qinsong would make it difficult to escape with three people.
"Grandpa Zhou, don’t worry, I know my limits. Hall Master Ma must be waiting for me there." Qiao Wanying persisted.
Besides the old steward, the only other person she trusted was Ma Qinsong, naturally wanting him by her side.
"Alright." The old steward, seeing Qiao Wanying look so pathetic, couldn’t harden his heart, "Miss, let’s gather everyone and leave immediately."
The two disguised themselves once more and went to the meeting place.
The surroundings were silent, unaffected by the turmoil.
Qiao Wanying gently pushed open the door, gesturing for the old steward to wait outside.
Just as Qiao Wanying pushed the door and started stepping into the room.
"Miss, be careful." The old steward cried out.
Qiao Wanying suddenly turned her head, just as the old steward’s scream abruptly stopped.
Old Zhou’s headless body slowly fell, the head still rolling, eyes unclosed in death.
Qiao Wanying’s body trembled violently, staring blankly at the old steward’s rolling head and the blood-dripping long knife.
From inside the room, a large hand suddenly reached out, covering Qiao Wanying’s mouth and nose from behind.

Wang Wei and Lin Yuan were near the side entrance of Cheng Xiongjia’s residence.
Ordinary people knew it was the Lotus Gang’s upper echelon and avoided the place, creating a tranquil environment.
"Lin Yuan, do you recognize this place?" Wang Wei turned, a cold smile on his face.
"It’s a good place." Lin Yuan replied calmly, "You’ve chosen your spot well."
"After death, surrounded by green waters and mountains, it will truly be your resting place." Wang Wei flared his robe, his Qi-Blood surging.
Lin Yuan remained calm, looking at Wang Wei, with eyes full of indifference.
Not to mention now, his realm was beyond compare even before his retreat, Wang Wei was no match for him.
Seeing Lin Yuan’s arrogance, Wang Wei’s anger burned stronger.
"People must be self-aware, remember today’s lesson when you’re six feet under." Wang Wei’s Qi-Blood pulsated intensely, reaching its peak.
Although Lin Yuan had defeated An Heng, he too never took An Heng seriously. Today, after much planning, was the perfect opportunity to kill Lin Yuan.
"Gang Leader, you were right, Ma Qinsong and Qiao Wanying have all been captured." From inside the wall, a concealed voice suddenly reached them.
"Ma Qinsong!" Lin Yuan was taken aback.
Knowing that person was Cheng Xiongjia’s arrangement, but unaware of his intentions, the mention of the name piqued Lin Yuan’s curiosity.
As Lin Yuan was listening.
Wang Wei suddenly transformed into a fierce tiger, lunging towards him.
"Inside the wall!" Lin Yuan’s eyes suddenly flickered with killing intent, "Wang Wei and the earlier words were bait, the real killer move is another person!"
His body instinctively reacted, suddenly alert, extending his senses beyond the wall.
Unbeknownst to him, Cheng Xiongjia was already on the wall, overlooking the two from above.
