71: Hornet's nest

"Hall Master Cao was harmed by the Loose Cultivator Han Feiyu and has unfortunately passed away."

Liu Yunlong's tone was indifferent, but his words made everyone in the room twitch their lips.

However, no one dared to refute the Gang Leader for calling a stag a horse and twisting the truth like this.

Instead, they all put on expressions of righteous indignation, beginning to curse this so-called Han Feiyu, acting as if they shared an irreconcilable hatred.

Liu Yunlong did not care about what everyone was thinking; instead, he looked down at the Left and Right Protectors, who were competing in their acting skills.

"Protector Wu! Protector Duan!"

When the Right Protector Wu Qishan and the Left Protector Duan Tianya saw the Gang Leader calling them, both of their faces turned pale, fearing they would follow in Cao Da's footsteps.

But they still reacted quickly and hurriedly answered.

"Your subordinate is here!"

"Go and capture Han Feiyu and all the relevant Cultivators involved."

"But what about the Law Enforcement Team..."

Wu Qishan hesitated and wanted to ask, but the Left Protector Duan Tianya beside him pulled his robe and whispered in his ear.

"Did you not hear the Gang Leader? Hall Master Cao was secretly harmed; we have a legitimate reason to find the culprit."

"Besides, since the Gang Leader is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the Immortal City will only turn a blind eye."

Wu Qishan suddenly realized and felt a lingering fear in his heart; if he were to act foolishly, the Gang Leader might just pinch him to death as well.

He glanced gratefully at the Left Protector Duan Tianya, then bowed with him to accept the order.

"We obey the Gang Leader's decree! Your subordinates will definitely complete the mission."

"Hmm, I am going into seclusion to stabilize my Realm; handle the subsequent matters yourselves."

Liu Yunlong did not waste any more time here, his figure flashing and disappearing.

For Han Feiyu and the others, he did not care much; as a dignified Foundation Establishment Cultivator, how could he lower himself to deal with a tiny Qi Refining ant.

Even to him, Cao Da was more hateful than Han Feiyu and the others.

But these people had to die; he wanted to let that group of Loose Cultivators know what it meant for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator not to be insulted!

Lest he be looked down upon, and people think he, Liu Yunlong, is a kind-hearted person.

However, none of this was a big deal to him; cultivation strength is the foundation of everything.

If he were a Late Stage Foundation Establishment or even a Golden Core True Person, not to mention that the group of Loose Cultivators wouldn't dare to gossip, even that Sikong Ming wouldn't dare to treat him like this today.

Returning to the cultivation room and feeling the current Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the Outer City, Liu Yunlong was even more disgusted.

If there hadn't been an accident today, he might have already moved into the Inner City, become a Guest Elder of the Immortal City, and enjoyed the environment of a second-tier Spiritual Vein.

He even regretted killing Cao Da so easily in his heart; he should have tortured him properly.

Without thinking further, Liu Yunlong cast aside distracting thoughts, began to operate his Cultivation Technique to inhale and exhale Spiritual Qi, and started to stabilize his own Realm.

However, not long after, strange auras emanated from the cultivation room, the aura sometimes strong and sometimes weak, fluctuating.

The two Cultivators guarding outside the cultivation room exchanged glances.

'It seems the Gang Leader is quite angry this time; his state of mind has been affected...'

Inside the main hall.

Seeing Liu Yunlong leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Recalling the Gang Leader's man-eating appearance just now, they were all somewhat terrified.

"Protector Duan, the Immortal City is so big, how are we supposed to find someone?"

Wu Qishan was unsure of what to do at this moment; mainly, in his view, since the other party had offended the Poisonous Jiao Gang, they would definitely choose to hide.

And there are over a hundred thousand Loose Cultivators in the Immortal City; they only know the name and haven't even seen the face, so finding someone is like finding a needle in a haystack.

"Old Wu, why have you become so dull! There are so many gang members under our command; it's not like they are all freeloaders, send them all out to search!"

"Even if we take a step back, if we really can't find them, then solve the problem by dealing with the people who are the issue."

"Don't Cao Da's subordinates still have a few people who have seen that Han Feiyu? As long as they die, who would know who Han Feiyu is?"

"The Gang Leader just needs to use this matter to establish his authority; he doesn't care who Han Feiyu actually is!"

Wu Qishan suddenly realized upon hearing this; he wouldn't have been so dull before, mainly because he hadn't recovered from the scene of Cao Da being pinched to death.

He instinctively sought help from the Left Protector Duan Tianya, who had just helped him.

"It still has to be you! Then we will listen to you; we will pass the message down first and let the people below search!"

"If we can't find them, so be it; if we do find them, we must torture them properly!"

"If it weren't for this bunch of swine, we would be eating well and drinking spicy with the Gang Leader right now; we wouldn't be suffering this kind of humiliation."

Wu Qishan was somewhat unwilling; clearly, the opportunity to advance was right before his eyes, but now they still have to cower in the Outer City.

"It's all that idiot Cao Da who couldn't distinguish the situation, but since he's dead, there's nothing more to say."

"By the way, we not only need to find people, but also prepare a Foundation Establishment Banquet for the Gang Leader."

"This time, we must make that group of mud-legged peasants bleed heavily; consider it a way to bring good luck to the Gang Leader."

"Fine, we will do as you say."

...

"Liu Yunlong, Poisonous Jiao Gang Leader, broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage so quickly? And..."

Inside the Immortal Cave cultivation room, Lu Ming sat cross-legged on a prayer mat, looking at the name on the golden book in the Void Realm.

Dong Pingan had introduced the Poisonous Jiao Gang before, so Lu Ming naturally knew the name of its leader.

However, his expression was somewhat strange now.

"Did I poke a hornet's nest? Why are so many people on the list all of a sudden!"

Besides the second page exclusively for Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

The first page was densely packed with many Cultivators on the list.

[Wu Qishan], [Duan Tianya], [Wu Gui]...

A rough look showed there were already about a hundred people, with varying cultivation levels.

"Is this the feeling of sudden wealth? This is too satisfying!"

Lu Ming's sense of happiness was maxed out now, even happier than when he picked up a Spirit Stone.

This is backup energy!

With so many people, as long as the Cultivation Technique is in place, it is enough for him to rush to the Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level in one breath.

"But... why is Cao Da gone?"

Lu Ming was somewhat puzzled; he had the deepest impression of Cao Da, who was the first Poisonous Jiao Gang Cultivator on the list.

But now there is no such person on the golden book.

However, this doubt did not last long before news came from the Clone.

"I secretly harmed Cao Da? And now I am wanted by the Poisonous Jiao Gang across the city?"

Lu Ming's mouth twitched.

What is this all about!

But after thinking carefully, he understood; it was likely a play directed and acted by the Poisonous Jiao Gang themselves.

"But it's a bit ruthless; a Hall Master at the Eighth Level of Qi Refining, abandoned just like that."

Lu Ming didn't think much about it; anyway, they were looking for Han Feiyu, so what does it have to do with Lu Ming... or Li Qing.

However, Lu Ming still had the Clone take Old Man Zhou and the others to hide temporarily.

Hmm, a strategic retreat!

Immediately, Lu Ming closed his eyes and selected [Liu Yunlong] on the golden book.

He activated several Demonic Techniques on his body and began to Cultivate.

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator; make the most of it!

Anyway, if it's not enough, there is more; everyone on the golden book is a great tonic for him, enough for him to squander wantonly.

Suddenly, his body was like a bottomless black hole, greedily absorbing the bits of energy pouring out from the Void Realm.

Inside the Immortal Cave covered by the Formation, blood mist rose with him as the center, swallowed into his body with every breath.

As time passed, Lu Ming's aura began to skyrocket, and his cultivation advanced towards the Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level.
