Wei Chunxi packed his things and was about to go downstairs to leave when he suddenly saw an old man with a white beard leading more than twenty people rush out and surround him.

"So you were the one who shielded the robbers from the poison upwind and helped them escape, right? Perfect, I'm going to capture you and interrogate you thoroughly until you spill all the information and see who's really behind it all!"

Wei Chunxi looked around and sighed, "Why bother? I'm just here to lend a hand; I didn't intend to kill anyone."

"Unfortunately, I'm currently in a strong urge to kill someone!"

The white-bearded old man's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He leaned forward slightly, about to quickly capture the man. The gang members following behind him also revealed fierce expressions. These members all possessed at least level seven Internal Cultivation, which could resist the poison of the Immortal's Inebriation, which was why they were able to recover their mobility so quickly.

Wei Chunxi drew the soft sword from his waist, flicked the supple blade lightly, producing a crisp sound, and asked, "Did you hear that?"

The white-bearded old man sneered, "What did you hear? Your wailing?"

Wei Chunxi shook his head and said, "It's 'The Sick Sword Elegy'."

The sword blade swayed, emitting a soft hum, like a mournful tune.

The next moment, more than twenty gang experts turned red in the face, their Qi and Blood surged in reverse, they coughed up blood and fell to the ground, no longer breathing.

Chapter 234 Hat

The war between the Thousand-Ren Society and the Black Earth Gang has finally begun.

Yu Shuying did not use her inside contacts to gather intelligence; she only ordered the Black Earth Gang to maintain vigilance as usual. Therefore, when Thousand-Ren Society launched a surprise attack, the Black Earth Gang inevitably fell into a disadvantageous position.

However, they were old rivals after all, and they knew each other too well. They could tell what shape the product would come out as soon as the other side bent over. After being on the defensive at the beginning, the Black Earth Gang adapted to the Thousand-Ren Society's offensive and gradually stabilized their defenses.

"The Thousand-Ren Society touted a major operation beforehand, but in the end it was all bark and no bite; this little offensive is no different from before."

"Perhaps they deliberately released false information to lure out our informants."

"This informant was far too careless. He didn't even verify the authenticity of the intelligence before recklessly passing it on, almost causing a major disaster."

"It's not all bad; at least it drew out the thorn in our side."

In the Black Earth Gang's meeting room, a group of elders listened to the battle reports, their faces relaxed. If the battle lines were to become too tight, they would have to go to the battlefield. As pampered sons of noble families, they did not want to risk their lives.

Although the Mohist School emphasized dedication and required leaders to lead by example, the corruption of human nature has little to do with what ideology one believes in. Unless one is physically brainwashed, anyone thrown into a decadent environment like Russia would be corrupted sooner or later.

The Black Earth Gang Thousand Ren Society in that its leader, Zhu Hao, was a person who was obsessed with martial arts research and had little interest in power struggles. He was too lazy to form cliques and establish factions, so he actively cooperated with the orders of the higher-ups and carried out a reshuffle of middle and high-level cadres every five years. This finally stopped the Black Earth Gang from declining and Thousand Ren Society.

If Zhu Hao insists on not cooperating, given his status as Spirit Transformation expert, the organization can't really do anything to him. After all, he's in a foreign country, and they can't reach him from afar. If they're going to harm someone, it'll be someone from a foreign country.

"A bunch of idiots gathered together spouting idiotic nonsense. You know perfectly well I can Mind-Reading Technique, yet you still say these stupid things you don't even believe yourselves. Are you trying to deceive others, or is it just a habitual lie?"

Yu Shuying sat in Zhu Hao's seat and began to mock the crowd.

An elder jumped to his feet, slamming his hand on the table. "Little girl, do you really think that just because Senior Zhu gave you a note, you can do whatever you want and act like an imperial envoy? This isn't a place for you to run wild!"

The others present also showed expressions of anticipation, and although they did not express their opinions explicitly, they also cooperated in putting pressure on Yu Shuying. It was clear that they had already planned to use this opportunity to give Yu Shuying a hard time.

Yu Shuying stared intently at the other person, her gaze as still as a dead lake.

The elder had assumed that no matter how capable Yu Shuying was, she was just a teenage girl, and that she was no match for his experience in terms of presence and authority. He thought that she would feel guilty if they stared at each other for too long. However, it was he who felt guilty before she even realized it.

For no apparent reason, I panicked and lost my confidence.

At this moment, Yu Shuying revealed a smile, a mocking smile tinged with pity, and said, "Your son is not your biological child."

"Varied!"

The elder was stunned, as if he had been punched hard. He staggered and almost fell to the ground, exclaiming in shock, "What nonsense are you spouting!"

"With today's advanced medical technology, whether something is true or false can be easily verified with a simple check."

Then, Yu Shuying glanced at everyone present with a very conspicuous gesture, and then revealed a playful smile, saying, "His biological father is in this conference room."

The elder was stunned for a moment, then glared fiercely at all the other elders present with a look that seemed to be spitting fire. His eyes were filled with shame, anger, and hatred, and it wouldn't be surprising if he were to pounce on someone and fight to the death at any moment. Among the elders who were glared at, a few actually looked away guiltily, not daring to meet his gaze.

The agreed-upon cooperation was shattered by Yu Shuying's single sentence, and no one dared to resist, fearing that they would become the first victim.

Knowing the truth is a good thing, but being exposed in front of so many people is undoubtedly a huge loss of face, and one will never be able to hold their head high in front of others again. Therefore, no one dared to speak out.

They were once again certain that this woman could indeed Mind-Reading Technique; no secret could be kept from her, and any opposition would only bring shame upon themselves.

Just then, a loud bang came from outside, as if a large amount of gunpowder had been detonated, breaking the tense atmosphere in the conference room. Looking out the window, one could see a red, fiery cloud appearing in the sky not far away.

"It's Huyan Lie! He's made his move!"

"This is bad. This direction leads to an armory. We absolutely cannot let the Thousand Ren Society take it over."

"Damn it, we've fallen for a feint attack. The troops in the east are just bait; the west is their real main attack direction."

As everyone was discussing anxiously, Yu Shuying clapped her hands, lowered her voice, and said, "Please rest assured, everyone. I have already asked Senior Zhu to oversee the armory. There won't be any problems there. Now, please come with me outside to watch a good show."

What's the show?

"Real or fake kidnappers?"

Chapter 235 If You Tie Me, I'll Tie Me Too

"War Flames Burn the Heavens!"

In mid-air, Hu Yanlie, clad in heavy armor, raised his Huyan Lie high. His powerful true True Qi overflowed, covering an area of ten miles, causing changes in air pressure. This made the people on the ground feel as if they were carrying a heavy burden, their chests tight, their hearts pounding, and they could hardly breathe. Meanwhile, the fiery clouds in the sky were drawn by an invisible force, gathering in a funnel shape onto his sword, transforming into a blazing sun.

"Cut!"

As the Crimson Flame Greatsword slashed downwards, the sky seemed to darken, and a large amount of oxygen was extracted, creating a high-temperature, high-pressure, oxygen-free confined space, much like a thermobaric explosion. Shockwaves spread outwards, destroying the buildings below.
