Chapter 71 Master's Wife, Just Surrender!
Li Mingzhe and his companion picked up the letter and read it, the corners of their mouths twitching involuntarily.
Although they had anticipated this, seeing things turn out exactly as they had imagined was still shocking.
Logically speaking, given the strength Yan Chu had displayed, there was no need for several major powers to form an Alliance; the so-called Anti-Yan Alliance was merely a pretext.
The real objective was for the Gao Family to extend their influence into the Jianghu of Longhua Prefecture.
Thus, they formed the Anti-Yan Alliance, unified the Jianghu forces of Longhua Prefecture, and used the business of eliminating Yan Chu as a pretext to bring the major powers under their control.
But as soon as this so-called Anti-Yan Alliance was established, it was time to select an Alliance leader.
However, the major powers participating—the Gao Family, the Lian Family, the Raging Flood Dragon Gang, and the Sword Forging Manor—all voted for themselves.
As for the Mingtong Trading Company, they only sent a few young Disciples to go and deal with it perfunctorily.
The Four Seas Pavilion cast an abstention; they only participated because they had a vendetta against Yan Chu. Yan Chu had killed one of their managers and the nephew of a Protector, placing him at the top of the Four Seas Pavilion's mission board.
"Two, what do you think about this matter?"
Han Yunlu's voice was soft and sweet, melodious to the ear. Ma Huaikong felt as if he were hearing celestial music.
He suppressed the heat in his heart and pretended to ponder, saying:
"We had anticipated this, but our gang has a deep hatred for Yan Chu, and due to the Gao Family's Face, we had no choice but to go."
"If the Gao Family really wants to take control of Longhua Prefecture, they should eliminate Yan Chu first, rather than just making a big show of force without actually doing anything."
Han Yunlu listened without committing, her beautiful eyes turning to Li Mingzhe:
"What does the Grand Elder think?"
"Ah?"
Li Mingzhe was recalling his battle with Yan Chu that day and only reacted when Han Yunlu called him. He then realized that a layer of cold sweat had broken out on his back at some point.
He still could not forget that strike.
In any case, he had made up his mind: even if there really were a joint effort to eliminate Yan Chu, he would not join in the fun.
He was already old and did not know how many years he had left to live.
For the remaining days, he would let others handle the killing and fighting. He would just stay in the Raging Flood Dragon Gang, arranging flowers, handling jade, and doing the things an old man should do.
"Grand Elder, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing Li Mingzhe distracted, Han Yunlu's brows knitted slightly, her tone unpleasant.
"Ah... this... I..."
Li Mingzhe was about to find an excuse when suddenly a report came from outside the building.
"Report—Mistress! Vice Gang Leader! Grand Elder!"
"Vice Hall Master Wang Ping has returned!"
"Ping'er has returned?"
Han Yunlu was stunned, then said coldly: "He returned, so what? Is that worth reporting?"
The three of them were discussing matters; did they need to be informed just because a Vice Hall Master returned? How could this person be so oblivious?
Someone who didn't know better might think Qi Yong had already returned to the gang!
"It's not that, Mistress, Hall Master... Hall Master Wang... he... he brought people back!"
"Brought people? What kind of people?"
"It is... it is the 'azure nether blade demon' Yan Chu!"
"What did you say?!"
The three of them sat up abruptly, their Faces changing drastically.
Especially Li Mingzhe, whose hands could not help but shake, the veins on his forehead throbbing...
...
"Young Master! This way, this is where the Elders live."
"Further ahead are the rooms for the left and right Protectors—those two pieces of trash who died by your hand, Young Master!"
Wang Ping led the way, fawning over Yan Chu and Liu Dayuan.
Behind the three, the smell of blood was thick. Corpses lay slumped on the water pavilion, fresh blood dripping through the gaps in the wooden planks, and the river water in the valley below was dyed a bright red.
People were throwing away their weapons and fleeing everywhere.
Panic-stricken crowds scattered in all directions, with screams and roars echoing one after another.
"Run! The Blade Demon Yan Chu is here!!"
"Damn it, don't block me, get out of the way!"
"Where is the Mistress! Where is the Vice Gang Leader! Go inside and invite the Grand Elder!!"
"Run!!!"
The entire headquarters of the Raging Flood Dragon Gang was in complete chaos.
The vast majority were fleeing outward, many jumping directly into the river and swimming away from Lanjiang Valley.
Members of the Raging Flood Dragon Gang were people who made a living on the river; they were not that afraid of death.
But when you see your companions being killed like ants, your mentality really breaks.
Yan Chu did not even unsheathe his saber; he simply raised his palm and pressed down. The first wave of people who rushed up were crushed into meat paste, their bodies bursting upon death.
More people were sliced in two by his palm blade.
Every time he raised his hand, someone was split apart!
This kind of one-sided massacre, where there was no power to resist, truly made people despair, and thus a great rout began...
For those fleeing, Yan Chu did not intend to kill them all.
However, any Fourth Realm Martial Artist or above he encountered was ruthlessly killed.
Since the Raging Flood Dragon Gang dared to oppose him, they had to bear the consequences.
"Ah!!! Wang Ping! You dare betray the Raging Flood Dragon Gang! The Gang Leader will kill you sooner or later!! You will die a horrible death!!"
Ahead, a middle-aged man with broken legs lay in a pool of blood, his expression desperate as he cursed Wang Ping.
This was the Hall Master of the Wave-Slicing Hall, a Late Stage Fourth Realm Martial Artist.
Who would have thought that Wang Ping, the Personal Disciple of the Gang Leader, would bring an outsider to exterminate the Raging Flood Dragon Gang.
Just a moment ago, the other party had tried to escape, but Yan Chu had severed his legs with a stroke of Saber Qi from tens of meters away. The Saber Qi raged endlessly at the amputation site, causing unbearable pain.
"You damn bastard, worry about yourself first!"
Wang Ping went up and kicked the man several meters away, then drew his sword to strike.
"Spare me..."
Pfft!
Before Wang Ping's sword could land on the person, Yan Chu flicked a burst of Qi from over ten meters away, piercing the man's head.
[Kill Fourth Realm Martial Artist of the Raging Flood Dragon Gang, settle old scores, Experience +1000]
Yan Chu said faintly: "Don't steal my kills!"
Wang Ping shuddered all over and hurriedly nodded: "Yes! Yes!"
He finally realized that the name of this Blade Demon was not earned for nothing; he seemed to particularly enjoy the process of killing.
Along the way, nearly a hundred people had died at the other's hands, most of whom were blind gang members and Fourth Realm Martial Artists.
This number was not much for the headquarters, but having to do it personally every time made people mutter in their hearts.
If this wasn't a penchant for killing, what was?
"Stop!!"
A loud shout came from afar, and two figures landed from the buildings above the cliff, a man and a woman.
"Yan Chu!! You... what have you done?!!"
Ma Huaikong looked at the corpses everywhere ahead, shaking with anger.
This thick blood had almost stained half the valley red; the Raging Flood Dragon Gang was finished after today!
Wang Ping introduced to Yan Chu from the side:
"Young Master, this is the Vice Gang Leader Ma Huaikong, Late Stage Fifth Realm, and beside him is the Gang Leader's wife, Han Yunlu."
Yan Chu nodded. It was a pity that Qi Yong was not here today, otherwise, he could have taken care of them all at once.
Han Yunlu scrutinized Yan Chu for a moment, then landed her gaze on Wang Ping, saying coldly:
"Ping'er, your Master and I have treated you well, taught you martial arts, and promoted you to Vice Hall Master of the Raging Flood Dragon Gang. Is this how you repay your Master and Mistress?"
Wang Ping laughed,
"Mistress, you know better than I what kind of person Master is. How many female Disciples and female Elders has he harmed in the gang over the years?"
"He didn't even spare his own Personal Disciple, and it's a wonder you could turn a blind eye and continue living with him."
"It is a pity that the Raging Flood Dragon Gang shouldn't have offended Young Master Yan. Today, no one will have an easy time!"
"I advise you, if you don't want to die, you should just surrender!"
