80: Xiantian Yiqi Jue
Long Yuesheng looked at the slowly dissipating black shadow on the stone lion and felt a strange palpitation, a fear that originated from the instinct of life.
“W-what is this?” he asked, his voice trembling.
He recognized the young man on the stone lion; it was definitely Qin Jiang.
But didn't Qin Jiang practice Red Tiger Fist?! What kind of Demonic Technique was this?!
Long Ye, standing beside him, narrowed his eyes. He actually felt a faint sense of threat from the man in front of him! But how was this possible!
Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to the stone lion beneath Qin Jiang.
Although that faint red glow had almost disappeared, with his eyesight, he could see it clearly!
An Eye Fiend! This was an Eye Fiend!
But the problem was, the man in front of him had no aura of Secret Martial Source Power; he was clearly still a True Martial Artist!
A True Martial Artist killed an Eye Fiend?!
He had lived for over a hundred years, and such a thing was only something he had heard of, and even then, it might not be true!
There was a fundamental difference between Secret Martial Artists, Eye Fiends, and True Martial Artists!
The Secret Martial Source Power of Secret Martial Artists and the Fiendish Source Power of Eye Fiends were existences almost like the Laws of heaven and earth!
After absorbing Secret Martial Source Power, the Physical Body of a Secret Martial Artist would undergo a massive transformation! The difference between them and True Martial Artists was like an unbridgeable chasm!
This was also the fundamental reason why Secret Martial Artists were called non-human!
How could anyone kill an Eye Fiend while still in the True Martial Artist stage?!
Even with his century-old Heart-Nature, he couldn't help but feel a little excited at this moment.
If this child were to be befriended by the Long family, he might even reach a higher level in the future!
With this thought, he directly pulled Long Yuesheng and, with a single step, arrived in front of Qin Jiang.
Long Yuesheng stumbled, then quickly reacted, looking at Qin Jiang, “Qin Jiang, this is my third uncle! Bronze Bell Sect’s Second Protector! Come and greet him quickly!”
Qin Jiang turned to look at the two, jumping down from the stone lion.
Looking at the burly man beside Long Yuesheng, he slightly cupped his hands.
Earlier, he had sensed the terrifying power contained in the Azure Fire Bronze Furnace and knew that a formidable expert had arrived in the city. He hadn't expected to meet him so soon.
“Third Uncle, this—”
Before Long Yuesheng could finish his sentence, he saw Long Ye stride directly towards Qin Jiang.
Just as he was a little nervous, thinking that Qin Jiang had somehow angered his third uncle, he saw Long Ye directly raise his hands, supporting Qin Jiang's arms.
“You're Qin Jiang, right? Hmm… You're very good! Truly very good!… Hmm… Are you interested in joining the Bronze Bell Sect?”
At this moment, Long Ye's expression was a little awkward. He only regretted that he hadn't properly learned how to praise people from his teacher back then, which left him only able to say “good” and “very good” now.
Qin Jiang was somewhat bewildered by this sudden enthusiasm, and his gaze turned to Long Yuesheng.
Long Yuesheng was also very confused at this time. His third uncle had always been an expert at playing it cool; when had he ever been so enthusiastic towards anyone?
“Third Uncle, what is this?” he asked directly.
Long Ye turned back to look at him, then reacted, remembering what Long Yuesheng had said earlier about recommending someone to join the Bronze Bell Sect.
He immediately stated, “Didn't you say you wanted to recommend Qin Jiang to join the Bronze Bell Sect? I agree, I completely agree!”
Long Yuesheng's eyes showed confusion, “Did I mention Brother Qin's name?”
Long Ye's expression changed slightly. He walked over directly, put his arm around Long Yuesheng's neck, and whispered, “Don't cause trouble for me, you brat! This Qin Jiang must join the Bronze Bell Sect! I said so!”
It would be such a pity if such a genius couldn't join the Bronze Bell Sect and become part of the Long family's lineage!
He immediately turned back to Qin Jiang, “Brother Qin, it's settled then! In a while, you'll go to Ningan City with Yuesheng, and I'll personally welcome you then!”
With that, he soared into the air, “Yuesheng, the transfer order will come down within a month! You must return with Qin Jiang! Remember! If you dare to come back alone, I'll break your legs!”
He had to go back quickly and finalize this matter with his Elder brother, lest there be further complications!
One should know that Ningan City was not solely controlled by the Long family; among the three prominent families and nine influential clans, they were at most ranked second.
The Wang family, undoubtedly ranked first, would surely try to snatch Qin Jiang if they learned of such a genius!
A peerless Prodigy like Qin Jiang, his future influence would be enough to sway a province or even a nation!
Long Yuesheng watched Long Ye, who had turned into a black speck in the sky and gradually disappeared, at a loss for what to do for a moment.
“Uh, Brother Qin, how about we wait a few more days? My third uncle has always had a temperament like a mad dog, making him unpredictable.”
Qin Jiang smiled upon hearing this, “No rush.”
The next day, Red Tiger Gang headquarters.
Lu Xuanwu sat in the main seat, Qin Jiang sat in the top left seat, and the other Elders and various hall masters were also present.
Lu Xuanwu glanced at the large spear beside him, feeling somewhat restless.
“Chief Qin, may I ask why this meeting has been convened?” he asked.
Qin Jiang nodded slightly, scanning the crowd, “This time it's for the Autumn Leaf Gang in Luoshan City. I personally believe the Autumn Leaf Gang can already become history. What do you all think?”
He would be heading to the county city soon, and as the Chief of the Red Tiger Gang, he should eliminate some threats for the Red Tiger Gang.
Not only Luoshan City, but he would also suppress the Gangs in several nearby cities.
Of course, there was another reason: he needed to gather some potential points.
He hoped it wouldn't disappoint him.
“Chief Qin, isn't this a bit too hasty? The Autumn Leaf Gang's strength is not much weaker than ours, and their Gang Leader is also a Grandmaster-level expert,” Sun Qianzhao said.
He was not young, and if possible, he still wanted to play it safe.
Qin Jiang slightly raised his hand, “I will handle the experts above the Divine Intent Realm. You only need to be responsible for taking over.”
Upon hearing this, Sun Qianzhao's expression shifted slightly.
Although he was old, he wasn't completely unable to act. The old Gang Leader could still move, and he was no less capable!
Kong Hai, opposite him, directly cupped his fists, “Chief, rest assured! If we can't even do this well, then we don't need to be hall masters or Elders; we might as well go home and farm!”
“Good, everyone go prepare. Within three days, take over the Autumn Leaf Gang.”
A few days later, Anxin Villa.
Qin Jiang sat in the pavilion in the courtyard, setting down the last piece of bronze fragment.
He looked at the panel.

【Potential Points: 792.6】
The potential points were close to eight hundred, which already exceeded his expectations.
After all, although Black Mountain City was not large, being backed by Dahei Mountain, it was indeed considered prosperous compared to the surrounding cities.
Furthermore, the surrounding cities were not Black Mountain City, and the Red Tiger Gang did not have such strong control, so what they could gather was mostly what was on the surface.
As for Clear Wind Pushing Cloud Hand and Pine Crane Thousand Feathers Art, and other True Martial arts, they were True Martial-level health-preserving fists he had collected.
This was for the purpose of experimenting with the Fusion and deduction of the potential panel.
