11: Chapter 11 The Demise of the Great River Gang

"Poke the Wang Family? What kind of place do you think the Wang Family is, or do you think the Wang Family would make a move against the Pei Family for the sake of the Dahe Gang?" one Elder sneered.

"Could it be that we just let the Pei Family bully us like this?" another Elder said, his face revealing unwillingness.

If they hadn't known the full story, it would have been one thing, but now that they knew the truth, it was completely different.

"What, Elder Wen, you're not convinced? If Elder Wen really has the guts, you can go to the Pei Family yourself and reason with them. As long as this matter is accomplished, you will be a hero of our Dahe Gang." One Elder said with sarcasm.

"You!" Elder Wen's face flushed red, and for a moment, he couldn't speak.

Just as the two were arguing incessantly, Zhao Shanhe slammed the table.

Accompanied by a loud noise, the solid wood turned into fragments and scattered all over the floor.

Seeing this, the two realized that Zhao Shanhe was angry. If they continued to be relentless, they would be failing to appreciate the situation.

Seeing the two quiet down, Zhao Shanhe's expression returned to normal, and he slowly said, "This matter will be handled according to the Pei Family's wishes. Is there anyone among you willing to serve as this special envoy and pay them a visit?"

At this moment, everyone lowered their heads.

Naturally, no one was willing to do such a thankless job.

Only Zifeng raised his head, looked at Zhao Shanhe, and said, "Since this matter was caused by my subordinates, I am willing to go personally."

"Good! Elder Zifeng, then this matter is handed over to you. If you have any needs, you can bring them up now. As long as it is within my power, I will certainly satisfy you. If this is accomplished, I will count it as a great achievement for you." Someone stood up, and Zhao Shanhe's face immediately beamed with joy.

Having received Zhao Shanhe's promise, Zifeng immediately put forward his requirements.

It is said that wealth is sought in danger.

In his view, this trip did not have much risk, but the benefits were considerable.

As for it being caused by his own people, that was just an excuse.

He, Zifeng, was not so great as to clean up after others.

The mistake Wang Da made should naturally be paid for with Wang Da's own life.

What did it have to do with him, Zifeng?

However.

Just as the Dahe Gang's upper echelons were deliberating, the Pei Family's guard battalion, led by Pei Kong, had already embarked on their journey to the Dahe Gang.

As one of the Pei Family's guard commanders and a leading figure among the fourth generation of the Pei Family (ranked with Pei Qingyun as the existing first generation), Pei Kong, with his Late-Stage Divine Strength Martial Artist cultivation, swept through all young Martial Artists of the same generation in the Pei Family.

Even within the entire Wuyang County, he was one of the best of his generation.

Dealing with the Dahe Gang, a Gang whose highest strength Realm was only Mid-Stage Divine Strength, was more than enough.

However, for the sake of being safe, Pei Qingyun still hid in the shadows.

Although the possibility of being schemed against while the Pei Family took the initiative to attack was very small, Pei Qingyun had to eliminate any and all possibilities.

The current Pei Family could not afford any losses.

The scorching sun was in the sky, shining brightly.

On the street, wafts of tempting food aromas came from many houses.

It was mealtime, a rare rest time for ordinary people.

Yet at this very moment, the Pei Family guard team, dozens of people, walked down the street in a mighty procession, like a neat long Dragon.

As one of the three great Families of Wuyang County, the Pei Family had declined somewhat in recent years. But in the eyes of ordinary people, the Pei Family was still one of the three great clans in Wuyang County, high above everyone else.

The actions of the Pei Family guard team quickly attracted the attention of the common people.

Of course, most of the common people only knew of the Pei Family's existence, but their understanding of the Pei Family was limited to rumors.

It was just that this Pei Family guard team had an extraordinary Aura, which aroused their curiosity.

However, a small number of people still recognized the identity of this team.

"The Pei Family, what are they doing? They actually mobilized the guard team; could it be they are going to start a war with another force?" A passerby who recognized the Pei Family couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

He had a premonition that this time, a major event that would shake the whole city was likely to happen.

As time passed, the news of the Pei Family mobilizing the guard team spread like wildfire.

Pei Kong, as the person involved, had already arrived at the Dahe Gang's base according to Pei Tianrong's instructions.

On the other side, Zifeng had already set off on the road to apologize to the Pei Family as required.

Due to a twist of fate, they ended up missing each other.

At Pei Kong's order, dozens of guards rushed into the Dahe Gang's base.

"Kill!"

In an instant, an earth-shattering roar resounded throughout the entire Dahe Gang.

Some ordinary Gang members who didn't know what was going on had never seen such a formation.

The moment they saw the Pei Family guard team, they were scared paralyzed by the heaven-shaking formation and the Aura of blood.

After learning the origin of the guard team, they gave up resistance even more.

Pei Kong coldly scanned the crowd, not killing wantonly. He only threatened some ordinary Gang members to lead the way.

Before long, the Pei Family guards broke into the Elder Hall.

Inside the Elder Hall.

An Elder was closing his eyes and practicing his Cultivation Technique, his demeanor focused and natural.

But with the intrusion of the guard team, the loud noise woke him up from his practice.

The critical moment of his Cultivation was interrupted just like that.

One could imagine the mood of this Elder.

His rage instantly hit the ceiling.

But when he opened his eyes and saw the neatly dressed Pei Family guard team, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him from head to toe, chilling him to the bone.

"You... what are you doing!!"

Without getting the answer he wanted, all that was returned to him was a hundred-folded steel blade.

Cold light shone, and the hundred-folded steel blade slashed through the Void Realm at an extremely fast speed, directly toward the Elder's neck.

"Puchi!"

Suddenly, a muffled sound of breaking through the air rang out in the Void Realm.

Immediately after, a round head fell heavily to the ground and rolled several times.

At the same time, from the neck of the headless corpse, a line of crimson blood shot out like a sharp sword.

At this moment, Pei Kong could not dodge in time and could only let his face be splattered with blood.

Under the cleansing of the blood, Pei Kong's heroic face did not look ferocious, but instead added a bit of strange beauty.

Taking a glance at the headless corpse on the ground, Pei Kong turned his gaze to another place.

This was not his first time killing someone.

But it was the one he considered most meaningful.

The death of this Dahe Gang Elder was not the end, but the beginning of the Pei Family's rise.

Amidst the constant wailing, one living life after another fell just like that.

On this day, corpses lay everywhere in the Dahe Gang, and along with the Gang leader Zhao Shanhe, all thirteen Elders in the Gang were killed in battle.

Only this Elder Zifeng, who had volunteered for the mission, did not die in this slaughter.
