Chapter 114: Chapter 102: Scheming

Feiyun Gang stronghold.

Sun Guangchun and his group returned here.

Together with the three deputy leaders, they entered the council hall. Pang Biao was already there, waiting for them.

"Hehe, Brother Pang, your probe to annihilate the Lotus Gang certainly earned you great merit." Sun Guangchun chuckled.

"Qiao Yifei is quite skilled. Luckily, I ran fast; otherwise, that monkey would have kept me there." Pang Biao’s face twitched with malice, "How did it go? What’s the plan? The Elder is coming tonight; we must not delay the Elder’s big matter."

Hearing this, Sun Guangchun was delighted and felt assured knowing the Elder would come.

"Brother Pang, don’t be hasty; let’s eat first." Sun Guangchun immediately ordered food and drink to be served.

Once everything was ready, Sun Guangchun took the head seat, and Pang Biao and the others took their places.

"Brother Pang, after eating, I have to ask you to join me in killing someone." Sun Guangchun clinked glasses with Pang Biao, speaking after a moment’s thought.

"Who? Could it be Shen Shimu?" Pang Biao frowned.

Shen Shimu was equivalent to Qiao Yifei, and even if the five of them joined forces, if the two deputy leaders of the Qingzhu Gang were there to help, they would find it hard to take him down.

"No, it’s not the Qingzhu Gang." Sun Guangchun shook his head.

Duan Yu and the others were also puzzled.

"Then who?" Pang Biao looked at Sun Guangchun, coldly snorted, "You want me to head straight to Huaining Hall? Test their might?"

Pang Biao downed a bowl of yellow wine, wiped his lips, and laughed.

"Even though I’m bold, if we want to destroy Huaining Hall, we must wait for the Elder to arrive to decide. Absolutely not now."

Sun Guangchun nodded, "The Elder wants to control the pier, and Huaining Hall must be annihilated. We will strike as vanguards later."

"The person to kill is Cheng Xiongjia." Sun Guangchun stated calmly.

"Him?" Duan Yu suddenly understood, "Indeed, this person must be killed."

"Why?" Pang Biao was confused about the reasoning.

"This person secretly sided with Huaining Hall, betraying the Lotus Gang." Sun Guangchun sneered, "If he hadn’t stabbed the monkey from behind, we would have spent much more effort taking the Lotus Gang."

"Let’s strike while he’s unprepared today, kill him, and sever one of Huaining Hall’s limbs." Sun Guangchun took a sip and slammed the cup on the table.

********

Huaining Hall, first floor hall.

Lin Yuan sat quietly beside a table, waiting for orders from the Hall Masters.

He kept pondering the causes and effects, sighing in his heart.

Cheng Xiongjia and Yue Zhenhan were meticulous and far-sighted.

Since he joined the Ding Flag, he had fallen into Yue Zhenhan’s scheme.

Particularly the Lotus Gang’s hall matter; it was actually Yue Zhenhan’s plan through Wu Yangqing to guide Lin Yuan to investigate the incident’s background.

Thus, he discovered the clue about Ma Qinsong. If it were a regular person from Huaining Hall investigating, Cheng Xiongjia would never let such information be discovered.

With him acting, Cheng Xiongjia couldn’t act openly, and no ordinary Hall Master could kill him. Hence, he indeed was the best choice to investigate Cheng Xiongjia’s plan.

And with Wu Yangqing being Yue Zhenhan’s confidant, Lin Yuan’s artifacts and findings would be completely known to Yue Zhenhan.

There’s no denial that Yue Zhenhan’s plan was genuinely successful. He killed everyone, obtained treasures, then retreated without anyone knowing.

The only miscalculation was underestimating Lin Yuan’s strength and the speed of his martial advancement.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan quietly sensed the slow flow of pure heart jade essence within himself, gradually enhancing and purifying his energy.

Lin Yuan felt at peace.

"Once this matter is settled, I’ll seek the Alchemy title, apply at the External Affairs Hall, open a pharmacy, and stay out of the fight." With the Lotus Gang now destroyed and hidden hands becoming more aggressive, future struggles would be increasingly brutal.

"Find a supply route for herbs, then continue to accumulate strength." Lin Yuan thought to himself, "These calculations have been merely against me so far, which is fine. But if they target Junior Sister, I’m afraid I won’t be able to protect her."

Currently, Lin Yuan was primarily concerned about Zhu Lingshan’s safety, and he decided to keep a low profile, waiting until he could stand unyielding amid the storm.

"Also, Shi Xin’s matter needs investigation." Lin Yuan’s eyes flashed with doubt, "Who is this person really?"

Between the Qingzhu Gang and Feiyun Gang, Lin Yuan didn’t know who was involved.

Though naturally inclined to forgiveness, a plot involving murder cannot be overlooked. An investigation must be followed through once it’s done.

By evening, the killing at Huai River Pier finally subsided.

"Lin Yuan?" When Ao Daguang, Xu Yang, and a few others naturally returned to Huaining Hall, Xu Yang’s eyes widened in surprise.

"Hall Master Ao, Hall Master Xu." Lin Yuan stood up with a faint smile.

Ao Daguang looked deep into Lin Yuan’s eyes without saying anything, though a shadow flickered beneath his gaze.

"Where’s Wang Wei?" Xu Yang steadied himself immediately and asked in a deep voice.

"I don’t know." Lin Yuan cupped his hands, a smile playing on his lips.

"You weren’t by the Sub-Flag and returned on your own?" Jia Zhangle spoke coldly.

"Hall Masters, Lin Yuan received Sub-Flag Wang’s order to patrol and return independently." Lin Yuan’s voice was calm, "Hence, I do not know."

"Alright, get lost." Xu Yang said coldly.

"Yes." Lin Yuan replied calmly.

After speaking, Ao Daguang, uninterested, ascended the stairs.

Lin Yuan watched the three of them leave with a faint smile.

******

Fourth floor, Ao Daguang’s room.

"The ledger is already inside." Xu Yang casually smiled.

"Hmm." Ao Daguang nodded slightly, "In two days, go to the Qingzhu Gang to check the ledger."

"By then, invite Feiyun Gang. I’ll have the Hong family act and eliminate Feiyun Gang in one fell swoop. If Shen Shimu moves, we’ll eliminate him too." Ao Daguang said mildly.

"Haha, wonderful. With the Hong family’s involvement, there’s more confidence." Xu Yang squinted, his voice sharp.

"We haven’t dealt with Lin Yuan yet, which is damaging our reputation." Ao Daguang thought of this and couldn’t help but wonder, "What’s happening with Wang Wei? Why hasn’t he returned yet?"

"I arranged for Wang Wei to hold back, letting Cheng Xiongjia strike in secret. This plan was flawless; did Wang Wei encounter an accident?" Xu Yang speculated but then shook his head, "I don’t know what method Lin Yuan used to escape."

"Cheng Xiongjia acted?" Ao Daguang frowned.

While the two were pondering, a voice interrupted their thoughts.

"Hahaha, Hall Master." Jia Zhangle laughed as he entered the loft, holding a ledger and offering it, "A great harvest, a great harvest."

"All the Lotus Gang’s halls have been taken over by the Qingzhu Gang and Feiyun Gang. All tributes have been accounted for. We got sixty percent of the goods from Qiao Yifei’s warehouse, and Feiyun Gang and Qingzhu Gang each took twenty percent." Jia Zhangle’s face shone with oil, full of pleased laughter.

"This one Lotus Gang is worth ten years of our earnings." Ao Daguang looked over and couldn’t help but smile too.

"A pig must be fattened before slaughter." Xu Yang stopped worrying about Lin Yuan and sneered, "Reaping the most benefits with minimal effort. The Hall Master’s methods are indeed brilliant, my respects."

Hearing this, Ao Daguang kept a calm face, though a hint of satisfaction still flashed in his eyes.

*********

Cheng Xiongjia’s mansion.

After the leaders of the Feiyun Gang dispersed, they gathered at Cheng Xiongjia’s mansion at the appointed time.

"Gang Leader Sun, are you toying with Lord Pang?" The four stood on the second roof ridge, looking down at people who were all Qi-Blood realm, inconspicuous existences.

After observing for a while, Cheng Xiongjia was nowhere in sight.

Pang Biao, impatient, moved and grabbed a housekeeper-looking person by the collar.

"Where is Cheng Xiongjia?" Pang Biao’s face was fierce, scaring the person badly.

"I can only act in the outer courtyard; I don’t know the inner courtyard affairs." The person stammered out of fright.

Crack.

Pang Biao squeezed the person’s neck violently, cursing viciously.

"Damn it!"

"We’ve been squatting for an hour, and not even a ghost’s shadow is seen."

"Look around. Intel said Cheng Xiongjia hadn’t moved since returning home." Sun Guangchun’s face darkened slightly.

The others also searched around.

Finally, near the side door, Duan Yu found four bodies.

"Old Sun, over here." Duan Yu was shocked to see the bodies.

Sun Guangchun and the others rushed over, equally shocked upon seeing the bodies.

"There’s also a smell of blood in the inner courtyard." Although Pang Biao was impulsive, he was detailed-oriented and smelled something off in the inner courtyard air.

"Cheng Xiongjia, Yue Zhenhan." Sun Guangchun was startled and hurriedly checked it out.
