60: Chapter 60 Gathering of Masters

After the two people from the General Hall who had delivered the order left, Chen Hu gave instructions to Widow Wang and the sisters Qianxue and Qianyu, telling them not to go out if they heard any commotion and to stay obediently in their rooms.

He was not enthusiastic about capturing the Black Horned Beast.

The safety of his family was more important, and he had already decided that when the hunt for the Black Horned Beast began, he would personally lead his team to search Yuquan Street.

Soon, Chen Hu arrived at the hall.

He then sent someone to notify Big Boss Cheng Hui, Big Boss Liu Chuang, Da Niu, Su Tian, and Er Niu to come to the hall for a meeting.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all five of them had arrived.

Chen Hu spoke up: "I have received an order from the General Hall. A Black Horned Beast has infiltrated the city, and the Gang Leader wants us to lead men to search for its whereabouts. The strength of the Black Horned Beast is unknown, so if you encounter it, do not act impulsively; send a signal flare immediately."

"Yes!" the five replied in unison.

"Good, now return to your respective strongholds and gather your men to search for the Black Horned Beast!"

After the five of them left, Chen Hu took two people from the hall and headed towards Yuquan Street.

Somewhere in the West City, two figures came flying over.

Xiahou Tao and He Gang, who were hiding in the shadows, immediately appeared to pay their respects: "Greetings, Junior Martial Uncle Dugu, greetings..."

"Stop the nonsense, where is that Black Horned Beast?" Elder Pang interrupted their salutations and asked, looking slightly impatient.

Xiahou Tao quickly replied: "Elder Pang, that little beast is in the private residence opposite."

"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and capture it!"

Elder Pang shot forward, crossed the street, and landed on the roof of the private residence opposite. Elder Dugu, Xiahou Tao, and He Gang followed closely behind.

However, they chose to spread out and surround the residence.

"Little beast, where can you run!"

After listening for a moment, Elder Pang locked onto the Black Horned Beast hiding in the woodshed of the residence.

He was at the Late-stage Bone Refining, and any movement within a hundred meters could not escape his ears.

With a light shout, Elder Pang drifted down from the roof and arrived in front of the woodshed.

"Boom!" The Black Horned Beast's senses were also quite sharp. Sensing a powerful expert appearing in front of the woodshed, its figure shot into the sky, smashing through the roof, and fled rapidly in a direction where no one was present.

"Cunning little beast!" Elder Pang did not expect the Black Horned Beast to be so alert.

"Where are you running!" Just then, Elder Dugu flashed over, appearing seven or eight meters behind the Black Horned Beast. He raised his hand and struck out several fist energies through the air.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The fist energies all missed, blasting holes into the ground, causing mud and stones to splatter everywhere.

Just as he was preparing to strike again, the Black Horned Beast suddenly darted into another private residence.

Meanwhile, atop a high tower in the outer city, Luo Ningshuang was sitting cross-legged on the roof. The night wind blew through her silver hair, but she paid it no mind.

Her gaze overlooked the area below, and her ears listened to the movements around her. Suddenly, her ears twitched. Her gaze turned sharply towards the West City, because she heard the sounds of fighting coming from there.

She stood up suddenly and leapt down from the height. After falling more than ten meters, her figure flew out. Just as she was about to land on a roof, she tapped her right foot lightly on the roof, and her whole body shot out again like a sharp arrow.

While Luo Ningshuang was rushing to the West City, the four members of the Divine Fist Sect continued to encircle and capture the Black Horned Beast.

If they were in the wilderness, relying on the strength of the four, they would have already captured the Black Horned Beast. But inside the city, the environment was complex, with numerous buildings. Even though the four worked with tacit understanding, they were unable to take down the Black Horned Beast for the time being.

"Senior Brother Dugu, this won't do. If this continues, I'm afraid we will attract others!" Elder Pang said somewhat anxiously: "In my opinion, let's just disregard everything, capture this little beast, and leave directly!"

"Do you think the people from the Zhenwu Division are just for show? If we only destroyed someone's house, we could resolve it by paying some money. But if we hurt people, do you think we could leave this place smoothly?" Elder Dugu retorted sharply.

The Black Horned Beast seemed to have also discovered that the four people hunting it were concerned about the two-legged beasts living in the houses. Therefore, it specifically dove into houses where two-legged beasts lived.

In the East City, the leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang, Leader Gao Zhan, was standing respectfully behind Young Master Huang Shixuan. Besides that, there were also four Late-stage Tendon Refining guards sent by the Huang Family.

At this moment, a scout hurried over.

"Young Master, a battle has broken out in the West City. It is suspected that the Black Horned Beast has appeared in the West City!"

Young Master Huang Shixuan's eyes lit up. That was a Tier 3 Black Horned Beast. If his Huang Family could capture that Tier 3 Black Horned Beast, perhaps two experts at the Bone Refining Realm would be born.

The next moment, without turning his head, he ordered: "Leader Gao Zhan, immediately transfer your men to the West City. If you discover the Black Horned Beast, do everything in your power to stall it!"

"Young Master, the West City is not our Fierce Tiger Gang's territory. If I rashly bring people to the West City, I'm afraid it will cause misunderstandings with other Gangs!" Leader Gao Zhan said with hesitation.

Suddenly, Young Master Huang Shixuan turned around, his cold gaze falling on Leader Gao Zhan, and he said in an unquestionable tone: "Do as I say!"

"Yes!" Leader Gao Zhan felt a chill in his heart, stopped arguing, and accepted the order.

Seeing Leader Gao Zhan go to gather his men, Young Master Huang Shixuan said thoughtfully: "Tell me, what should be done if a dog starts having other ideas?"

Young Master Huang Shixuan's attendant said: "That's easy. Beat him a few times, then throw him a bone, and he will naturally become obedient and well-behaved!"

"Xiao Long, it seems you are quite good at raising dogs!" Young Master Huang Shixuan laughed.

"It is all thanks to the Young Master's teachings!" Xiao Long immediately bowed and said.

"Alright, send someone to notify my father to meet up in the West City!"

"Yes!"

Chen Hu, who was patrolling Yuquan Street with his men, received an order again, telling him to lead all the combat personnel of his hall to the West City. He immediately understood that the Black Horned Beast must have been discovered in the West City. Thus, he immediately gathered his men and headed towards the West City at full speed.

Half an hour later, Chen Hu arrived in the West City with over a hundred men and completed the rendezvous with the forces from the other three halls of the Fierce Tiger Gang.

Leader Gao Zhan arrived and ordered them to seal off a certain area. He also ordered that if the Black Horned Beast was discovered, they were to intercept it with all their might; whoever succeeded in intercepting it would be rewarded with one thousand taels of silver and three major merits. Immediately, everyone present became excited.

Chen Hu released his Spiritual Sense to scout the area. He then discovered that many factions and experts had already gathered in that area. Among them was the Division Chief of the Zhenwu Division, Luo Ningshuang.

Besides that, the gang factions in the West City had also been mobilized, and just like the Fierce Tiger Gang, they were all responsible for sealing off this area.

Inside the sealed area, the four members of the Divine Fist Sect had somewhat ugly expressions.

The next moment, Elder Dugu appeared on the roof and said to Luo Ningshuang: "Division Chief Luo, this Black Horned Beast was discovered by our Divine Fist Sect in the first place, and we haven't harmed any innocents while hunting it. Could you please do us a favor? We, the Divine Fist Sect, can compensate for the damaged houses afterwards!"

"What a joke. Just because you say it was discovered by your Divine Fist Sect, it means it was discovered by your Divine Fist Sect?"

At this moment, a voice rang out: "I could also say it was discovered by our Huang Family!"

As soon as the voice fell, a figure flashed by, and a middle-aged man in brocade robes appeared. He was none other than the current head of the Huang Family, Huang Yongcheng.

"That's right. This Black Horned Beast has appeared in Linjiang Prefecture, so it should belong to the factions of our Linjiang Prefecture. It would be better for the members of the Divine Fist Sect to withdraw, so as to avoid any misunderstandings!" Another voice rang out.

It was a middle-aged man in green robes holding a long sword. This person was the Bone Refining Realm expert of the Nangong Family, Family Head Nangong Ming.
