Chapter 116: Chapter 104 Elders

"Heh heh."

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but laugh as he heard this: "Hall Master Xu, I also have something to say to you."

"Alright then, I’ll give you a moment to catch your breath. Any last words?" Xu Yang had already gathered his Qi-Blood, pressing continuously towards Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan, feeling the imposing aura of his opponent, spoke calmly.

"Hall Master Xu, walking at night isn’t a good habit."

As soon as Lin Yuan finished speaking, a bloodthirsty look surged in his eyes, and his figure suddenly burst forth.

"You?" Xu Yang, who had initially been relaxed, suddenly changed color.

At this moment, he sensed Lin Yuan’s unfathomable energy, as if facing an abyss, completely unable to discern its depth.

But one thing he was certain of was that Lin Yuan had already stepped into the realm of Congealing Energy.

"Die!" A fierce light erupted in Lin Yuan’s eyes.

In an instant, he was already in front of Xu Yang.

The word "Gold" had yet to leave his mouth when his pupils suddenly contracted.

He had already felt the sharp force piercing through his waist and abdomen, the opponent’s speed was terrifyingly fast.

He felt as if his body was like a deflated balloon, no matter how he tried to mobilize his energy, there was no response.

"My, my Dantian is shattered?" Xu Yang was horrified, a thought flashed through his mind, leaving him dumbfounded.

With almost a single move, his martial arts cultivation was entirely crippled. The gap between him and Lin Yuan was like a chasm.

Pfft!

His abdomen took a heavy blow again, Xu Yang spewed a mouthful of blood. His vision went dark, and the extreme pain caused his face to flush unnaturally, his eyes wide open, enduring immense pressure.

After a while, he finally caught his breath, completely powerless to resist, collapsed on the ground.

Looking at Lin Yuan’s calm figure standing nearby, Xu Yang’s heart was shaken, thinking of many other things, a moment of realization dawned on him.

"Wang Wei, Cheng Xiongjia, were all killed by you." Xu Yang panted, more out than in.

"And, and." Xu Yang spewed another mouthful of blood, staining his chest: "That person at the Congealing Energy stage was also killed by you."

"That’s right." Lin Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes lowered: "Besides you, who else wants me dead? People from the Feiyun Gang or the Lotus Gang?"

"Heh." Xu Yang sneered.

"Ah!"

Lin Yuan stomped on his abdominal wound, causing Xu Yang excruciating pain.

"Do you still not understand your situation?" Lin Yuan snorted coldly: "Whether you speak or not, it only saves me some effort. But it decides how you die."

"Don’t doubt my methods." Lin Yuan crouched down, whispering in Xu Yang’s ear.

"Feiyun Gang." Xu Yang was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Lu Qing, he’s Ao Daguang’s man."

He also divulged the inside information one by one.

"Good, I’ll give you a quick death." Lin Yuan nodded, speaking in a deep voice.

"Enough." Xu Yang, aware that his end was near, stared at Lin Yuan and sighed: "I underestimated you; Ao Daguang underestimated you; everyone underestimated you. The upper echelons never took you seriously, but didn’t expect, didn’t expect."

Crack.

Lin Yuan twisted his hands, Xu Yang’s head rotated around his neck, then drooped down.

The sub-hall master Xu Yang, who had been stirring up trouble at the Huai River Pier for years, perished just like that.

He picked up Xu Yang’s corpse and tossed it into the Huai River.

Watching the corpse drift away with the rolling waves, Lin Yuan’s eyes slightly lowered; after a moment of contemplation, he turned to leave immediately.

********

Feiyun Gang’s Base.

"Gang Leader, the interrogation has yielded results." The person in charge of the interrogation stepped forward to report.

"Speak." Sun Guangchun glanced at Pang Biao and the vice hall master beside him, speaking calmly.

"It’s some kind of soul essence. But the specifics are unknown since this matter is extremely secretive. That person was responsible for capturing Qiao Wanying. Later, this group was all killed by the Huaining Hall people, and he, by chance, went to the latrine and escaped death." The reporter’s eyes flashed with fear as he spoke with his head lowered.

He was uneasy, aware of the secrecy of such matters, unsure if he would suffer the same fate as the interrogated criminals.

After about five or six breaths, the reporter, with his head hung low, felt his heart pounding and cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"You may leave." Sun Guangchun nodded, eventually refraining from attacking.

"Yes." Relieved as if granted amnesty, he immediately withdrew.

"Everyone, what is this soul essence?" After the person disappeared, Sun Guangchun frowned and asked.

But his gaze remained fixed on Pang Biao, who amongst the present people, had come from the upper city and had seen more.

"Soul Essence." Pang Biao’s heart stirred. Thinking of this item, a smile appeared on his face: "I never expected there would be such a treasure here."

"What does it do?" Sun Guangchun questioned, perplexed.

"If consumed by a common martial artist, it can purify their inner nature, helping them to better comprehend the martial arts realm and break through the Congealing Energy threshold." Pang Biao explained.

"Soul Essence, the key lies in the words ’soul’ and ’essence’." Pang Biao’s eyes flickered with hope, and then he said softly: "No object, no self, no form, the three great barriers."

"A pure heart might give a martial artist a sliver of a chance to break through to the realm of ’no object’. This is the realm every lower-level martial artist dreams of achieving."

"A true treasure." Upon hearing this, Sun Guangchun and the others felt their hearts throbbing uncontrollably.

"Heh heh. Such a treasure is definitely beyond our reach." Pang Biao suppressed his desires, warning in a low voice: "Throughout Yanghua, there might not be a single person who can step into the ’no object’ realm. Such treasures are elusive, not to mention that it is currently just a rumor, without even a glimpse of the item."

While they were discussing, a figure descended from the night sky.

His steps were light, tapping a few times on the rooftop before leaping again, like a night owl fluttering by, with a few flickers, landing at the hall’s doorway.

While Sun Guangchun and the others were still discussing, they heard the sound of robes fluttering in their ears.

Clap clap.

The man landed lightly, his posture graceful.

After standing firm, he appeared with hair as white as frost, yet his stance as upright and imposing as a green pine. He stood there, emanating aura, his deep eyes scanning everyone’s faces.

This person was Fu Gongling.

"Elder Fu." Pang Biao immediately stepped forward, bowing his head in salute.

Sun Guangchun and the others hurriedly stepped forward, welcoming the person inside.

"Hmm." The elder nodded, walking in slowly: "How are things progressing?"

"The Lotus Gang has already been eradicated, and we are discussing subsequent matters." Pang Biao’s muscles twitched as he spoke deeply: "Waiting for the elder to come and preside over the overall situation."

"Hmm. The Alliance Hierarch sent me to quickly take down Huaining Hall. What are your thoughts?" The elder sat in the main seat and looked at those standing, speaking in a calm tone.

"Upon receiving the elder’s message, I have been thinking." Sun Guangchun stepped forward, speaking softly: "Why not eliminate the Qingzhu Gang. The Qingzhu Gang and Huaining Hall are nominally two places but are essentially one. By eliminating the Qingzhu Gang, Huaining Hall will naturally follow."

"Hmph." The elder snorted coldly, looking at Sun Guangchun.

Instantly understanding his intent to use his hand to eliminate the Qingzhu Gang to increase his own power.

Sun Guangchun felt a chill down his spine under the elder’s cold gaze.

"Today, I came secretly to kill Ao Daguang and Shen Shimu. The rest of the affairs will be handled by you. Find someone to lead the way later, and I’ll take immediate action." The elder’s aura was fierce, and killing intent flashed in his eyes: "I have urgent matters on hand and cannot delay. After taking their heads, I will return promptly."

After speaking, the elder stood up, ready to head out.

"Elder, there is one more matter to report to you." Pang Biao stepped out, speaking solemnly.

"Quickly speak."

"It’s about the soul essence." Pang Biao bowed his head and recounted past encounters.

Upon hearing this, Fu Gongling stirred inwardly, deeply yearning for the soul essence as well.

"How many people know about this?" Fu Gongling asked coldly.

"Besides these people, no one else is aware." Sun Guangchun responded quickly.

"Good, well done." Fu Gongling sat back down, thought for a moment, and then said solemnly: "In that case, Ao Daguang and Shen Shimu cannot be killed for the time being. I will stay here for a few more days."

"You must find the whereabouts of this item." The elder snorted coldly, his energy surging: "Also, this matter must only be conducted in secret. Should anyone leak the information, I’ll make them wish they were dead."

"Yes." The several people were pressured by the elder’s aura and responded in low voices.

Just as the elder was about to speak again, his expression suddenly changed.

The elder’s eyes, sharp like an eagle’s, aimed at the rooftop above.

"Who’s there?"

With a loud shout from the elder, his body flew upwards like a sprout shooting from dry land.
