78: Four Directions Soul-Locking Array

"No one treats me like a person; I'm excluded from everything."

"Good. He doesn't want me to get involved with the Five Spirits Gang, right?"

"Then I'll show him just how involved I can get!"

"Move!"

With an angry roar, the sounds of fighting erupted all around the Five Spirits Gang Headquarters.

"I advise you not to be stubborn. Father has his own arrangements for doing this."

Gou Longquan placed his hand on the long saber at his waist, but did not draw it, seemingly still mindful of their brotherly affection.

"Leave immediately with your men, and I can still spare your life."

"I know I'm not your match." Gou Longjian took two steps back, spreading his hands.

"How could a Perfection realm cultivator like me be a match for your Acquired Great Perfection?"

"So, your opponent isn't me."

Gou Longjian grinned, and lightly clapped his hands.

"Wh..."

Suddenly, a large hand descended from the sky, striking directly on Gou Longquan's head.

With a crack, Gou Longquan barely managed to block the attack, but still suffered a considerable injury.

"Five Pass Heretical Cult..."

Wiping a streak of blood from his forehead, Gou Longquan drew his saber from its sheath.

"I originally intended to spare your life, but I didn't expect you to also be the one who brought the Five Pass Heretical Cult..."

"Elder Three Seven, I'll leave this to you." Gou Longjian ignored Gou Longquan and walked towards the secluded cultivation chamber behind him.

"Kid, don't forget our deal, three thousand human sacrifices." Elder Three Seven grinned wickedly, his entire body wriggling with bloodworms.

"I know. Once I become the Gang Leader, won't Qiyang City be mine to command?"

Gou Longjian nodded, walking past Gou Longquan.

"Big Brother, the old man's way of governing the city is outdated. In these chaotic times, only power is king."

"You can just guard your old martial Dao and slowly rot away."

"Gou Longjian!!!" Gou Longquan's blood rushed, and he glared fiercely at Gou Longjian's retreating back.

"I suggest you save your strength for Elder Three Seven, otherwise you really will die."

Gou Longjian ignored Gou Longxun's threat and continued to walk forward.

"Qilin Enforcement Hall Disciples! Attack with full force, leave no room for mercy!" Gou Longquan roared, drawing his saber and charging towards Elder Three Seven.

"Yes!"

More than a dozen Enforcement Hall Disciples, clad in earthy yellow robes, rushed out, joining Gou Longquan in a fierce struggle against Elder Three Seven.

Outside the Headquarters, the remaining Five Spirits Gang Disciples were fully resisting the attackers.

These guys, who usually called each other brothers, were now striking with no hesitation.

"No, we can't hold them!" A Disciple's face was covered in blood, a finger-long wound on his forehead bleeding incessantly.

"Call for reinforcements, quickly!"

"These people are from the Fude Orthodox Sect... Ah!"

With a tragic cry, a Five Spirits Gang Disciple had a large hole torn in his chest.

"For the sake of returning to Great Fude Heaven! Kill them all!"

The Fude Orthodox Sect members' eyes were filled with fanaticism, and their entire bodies were covered in white tentacles.

Those tentacles were extremely powerful; if a Five Spirits Gang Disciple was touched, a piece of his flesh would be gone.

Bang!

A brilliant firework bloomed in the sky above Qiyang City; this was the Five Spirits Gang's distress signal.

Qi Longhu, who had just been troubled about how to invite Chen Heng, immediately stood up, his brows tightly furrowed.

"Vermilion Bird Hall Disciples, heed my command! Immediately reinforce the Headquarters!"

"Qi Qing, go immediately and invite Vice Envoy Chen, something has happened!"

The same scene unfolded in the Azure Dragon Hall and Black Tortoise Hall.

"Azure Dragon Hall Disciples, heed my command! Immediately reinforce the Headquarters!"

"Black Tortoise Hall Disciples, heed my command! Immediately reinforce the Headquarters!"

"Ensure the Old Gang Leader's safety at all costs!"

The entire Qiyang City became lively, with Disciples from various halls rushing towards the Headquarters.

Chen Heng, who was originally comfortably cultivating the Nine Revolutions Longevity Art, opened his eyes.

"What's going on?"

"Is it a holiday today?"

Chen Heng had no idea about such a thing as a reinforcement order, so he shook his head and continued to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Longevity Art.

Soon, Disciples from the three major halls gathered at the Five Spirits Gang Headquarters.

The Vermilion Bird Hall Disciples and the Fude Orthodox Sect members, who were already advancing slowly, immediately felt an unparalleled pressure.

"Has the Great Chief Priest not finished yet?" A Fude Orthodox Sect member, with three steel knives stuck in his stomach, retreated to the side to heal his injuries.

"Should be soon! Any slower and we won't be able to hold on!"

Not only them, but the Vermilion Bird Hall Disciples were also retreating steadily.

Although those ordinary gang members were just common martial artists, a large portion of them weren't even at the outer strength level.

But there were just so many of them.

Such a dense crowd of people; one knife each would be enough to mince them into meat paste.

"What petty scoundrel dares to cause trouble here!"

With a roar like a Dragon's cry, Xu Lieying descended from the sky.

He swept his long spear horizontally, immediately forcing back a large group of Fude Orthodox Sect members.

"Fude Orthodox Sect?" Xu Lieying recognized the identity of the people before him at a glance. His face instantly darkened.

Those bodies covered in white tentacles, it could only be the Fude Orthodox Sect, no one else.

"Heart-Rending Claw!" Another furious roar, and Qi Longhu made his appearance.

He formed his fingers into a claw, directly tearing apart a Vermilion Bird Hall Disciple.

"Heh heh, it seems the Hall Masters have all arrived." A massive figure emerged from the shadows.

"I am Elder Three Seven of the Wutong Sect."

"I've come specifically to take your dog lives!"

"Hahahaha! Die!" Elder Three Seven didn't wait for the two to react, manipulating the bloodworms within him and charging forward.

"What the hell! What's going on?" Xu Lieying hurriedly raised his spear to block, but was suppressed and forced to retreat repeatedly.

"Is this some kind of heretical cult free-for-all?" Qi Longhu also didn't dare to confront Elder Three Seven directly, only able to continuously maneuver.

With a muffled thud, Elder Three Seven seemed to have been knocked flying by something.

"My apologies, I'm late." Wu Tianba's entire body seemed like profound iron; the bloodworms had no effect on him.

"Why are all these demons and monsters coming to Qiyang City?"

"Also, didn't we just take down a Wutong Sect stronghold a few days ago?"

"How did such a large group suddenly appear again?"

Wu Tianba's honest and simple face showed confusion.

"Who the hell knows, let's hold off this wave first!"

Qi Longhu and Xu Lieying were not to be trifled with either; the three of them combined forces against Elder Three Seven.

"Where's Chen Heng?"

"Doesn't that kid have a way to deal with these monsters?" Xu Lieying's long spear continuously poked and stabbed at Three Seven, but was completely blocked by the bloodworms.

"I sent Qi Qing to call him. He doesn't know what that firework means."

Qi Longhu continuously moved around Elder Three Seven, occasionally striking with a claw.

"No, this guy's recovery ability is too strong. I'm worried the Gang Leader is in danger."

"God knows what that little beast Gou Longjian might do!"

Wu Tianba stood at the very front, blocking the vast majority of Elder Three Seven's attacks.

"Old Xu and I will hold him off, Old Qi, go check the secluded chamber!"

"Alright!" Qi Longhu dodged and weaved, rushing towards the interior of the Headquarters.

"No need, it's already over."

Suddenly, a sinister voice echoed behind everyone.

A man dressed in night clothes appeared on the street.

"You will all become nourishment for my god, and I shall return to Great Fude Heaven!"

The Great Chief Priest's eyes were fanatic, and in his hand was a small white Earth God statue.

"Four Directions Soul Locking Grand Formation! Activate!"
