Chapter 79: A Huge Piece of Gossip
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Chief of Control of Martial Suppression Office Western District Branch, Sun Ye, stood at a corner of the street, away from the Black Tiger Gang branch. He shouted lowly at the ashen Ouyang Qinhu, “Do you think you are the patriarch of the Li Family? You dare to take anything and everything home? Is this your first day out here? Do you not know the principle of only taking as much as you can handle? Since you don’t have the ability, how dare you be greedy? Don’t know how to spell the word “death”, do you?”
“Hmph, don’t make it sound so nice. If it were you, you would be the same.” Ouyang Qinhu said coldly.
“You…” Sun Ye’s eyes turned cold, and he growled, “Although I don’t know what you got, if I didn’t force and threaten you to come clean, I wouldn’t even know the reason behind this. But don’t forget Ouyang Qinhu, who you relied on to get to where you are today!”
“In any case, it’s not you.” Ouyang Qinhu sneered.
“Heh, it is indeed not me. But, I am able to affect that person.”
Sun Ye grinned and said sinisterly, “I just want to remind you that you, Ouyang Qinhu, have yet to obtain true freedom. You can choose not to hand over what you have obtained, but if something happens, don’t look for us!”
Ouyang Qinhu’s face darkened and his expression turned grim.
“Why? Are you afraid now?”
Sun Ye said disdainfully, “Do you think that with that little bit of capabilities of yours, you can defend what you have? The last three times you blocked the attacks, did you feel invincible? Did you think nothing of everyone else? How is it now? Have you tasted fear?”
“I’m not afraid to tell you that the people who came tonight still aren’t the best. The real assassin group hasn’t entered the field yet. If you think you can hold on, then continue to do so. When all of your branches are destroyed and you’re dead, I’ll help you to bury you.”
“Don’t worry, when that day comes…”
“Enough!”
Ouyang Qinhu growled and interrupted Sun Ye’s threat. He gritted his teeth and said, “I can hand over the item, but it has to stay in my hands for another month!”
“Sure.”
Sun Ye lightly smiled. “I’m not in a hurry. Even keeping it for a year isn’t a problem, let alone a month, as long as you can hold on to it.”
“… Half a month.” Ouyang Qinhu took a deep breath.
“Ha, Big Brother, do you think that everything can be bargained for?” Sun Ye sneered. “That’s right, you can bargain with me, but do you think that person will be willing?”
“…Three days.” Ouyang Qinhu said weakly, “Three days at the most, I will definitely hand it over.”
“Very good!” Sun Ye’s brows arched. “I believe I can help you get three days’ time. Within these three days, there will be news that the item has reached my hands. You just need to do the rest of your work well.”
With that, he turned around and walked away.
In the corner, Ouyang Qinhu was the only one left standing in the shadows. His expression kept changing.
Su Jingxing, who was carrying a corpse in the branch more than 80 meters away, had an equally odd expression on his face.
What a big piece of gossip!
As the head of the Black Tiger Gang, one of the two big underground gangs in the Western District, he was actually in cahoots with the Chief of Control of the Martial Suppression Office Western District Branch!
Both men took orders from another person.
It was that person who made Ouyang Qinhu the head of the Black Tiger Gang and built them up to ultimately become the biggest gang in the Western District alongside the Flying Cloud Sect.
Su Jingxing could even imagine that the Flying Cloud Sect had a backer too.
Otherwise, the Black Tiger Gang wouldn’t just be one of the two big gangs, but the only biggest gang in the Western District!
Su Jingxing had expected the gangs to have backers.
What Su Jingxing didn’t expect was that as a Chief of Control of Martial Suppression Office, he would actually obey the orders of another. This was a bit unexpected.
This piece of gossip tonight was very satisfying.
But on second thought, it was understandable.
Because most of the people in the Martial Suppression Office were locals.
Other than the Commander of City Governance, which was sent by the Yu Nation’s capital headquarters, and the Commissioners of Defense who were sent by the prefecture city. The Commissioners of Command and Chiefs of Control were all locals.
As locals, they naturally have connections with the local forces.
This situation was not only limited to Qinghe City, the same went for the other cities.
It was precisely because the people lower down the chain that were executing orders were involved with other factions that the Martial Suppression Office could only suppress them on the surface and not do so completely.
After figuring this out, Su Jingxing no longer bothered about Sun Ye’s two-faced personality.
In comparison, he was even more curious about the treasure that Ouyang Qinhu had obtained.
A rare treasure that the various factions would compete for, what could it be?
Su Jingxing had no idea who had infiltrated the other branches of the Black Tiger Gang.
But tonight, these men in black were all martial artists.
A large group of ninth-grade martial artists and eighth-grade martial artists, under the leadership of a sixth-grade martial artist, attacked the Black Tiger Gang’s branch. This resulted in the total annihilation of the people who stayed behind to keep guard.
Men of such capabilities were not people that ordinary powers could dispatch.
From this, it could be seen that the item in Ouyang Qinhu’s hands was extremely rare.
To be honest, Su Jingxing also felt a little tempted.
But he quickly suppressed it and regained his composure.
Not that he was afraid of Ouyang Qinhu, but that he didn’t have the courage to test his skills.
The commotion caused by this treasure was too big.
All the major factions in the Western District had mostly likely sent people to keep an eye on it.
If Su Jingxing were to jump in, his real identity might be exposed.
He still wanted to stay at the crematorium to continue extracting cards. He did not want to be exposed right now.
For this reason, Su Jingxing suppressed his agitation.
Of course, it was not good to participate directly, but it was fine to pay attention in secret.
Especially Ouyang Qinhu’s whereabouts!
Su Jingxing decided to monitor his whereabouts after returning back.
…
More than 50 bodies were carried back to the crematorium.
Their information was registered and the order of cremation was arranged.
He worked until the morning and took care of everything.
Su Jingxing just got off work and returned to the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain. He ate an Essence Energy Pill and counted his gains.
Internal Force Card, Internal Force Card, Internal Force Card, Strength Enhancement Card, Internal Force Card…
51 cards were all checked.
He realized that most of the cards were Internal Force Cards. There were only a few Strength Enhancement Cards.
There were also two Skill Cards. One was a saber art and the other was a palm technique.
Su Jingxing read the relevant information and carefully comprehended them. He realized that both were inferior to the Three Origins Saber Art and the Seven Steps Fist, so he didn’t unlock them and directly put them into his palm space.
The only True Energy Card was not bad. It contained five years of cultivation.
The Internal Force Cards were unlocked, and all the internal force combined had at least 103 years of cultivation.
Su Jingxing decisively converted all of it into Heaven Trampling True Energy.
That was equivalent to gaining six years of cultivation overnight.
Including the original three years, Su Jingxing’s current cultivation had reached nine years!
This speed was something that other martial artists didn’t even dare to imagine.
Even the members of the Shi Family who possessed the Three Yin Candles Blood wouldn’t be able to achieve.
Su Jingxing was overjoyed. He turned on his computer and hacked into the traffic cameras. Starting from the location of tonight’s destroyed branch, he locked onto Ouyang Qinhu’s whereabouts.
Unexpectedly, he soon had a surprising gain!
