Bang.
Wen Lian gave a little hop and climbed onto the carriage.
"Go, go, go! Hurry up! We're about to be late!" she urged her driver.
"Miss, the road ahead is blocked. We'll have to take a detour for now," the honest female driver replied.
"Hm? The road is blocked? Why?" Wen Lian asked in confusion. "Hasn't Qishan Road always been empty?"
"It seems several small gangs nearby fought over the position of gang leader, and quite a few people were killed or injured. The government office is moving the bodies now," a guard outside the carriage said with undisguised relish.
"Fighting over gang leader? Their bosses died?" Wen Lian froze.
"Yes. I heard four of them died in a single day yesterday, all beaten to death alive. Some say the culprit was an Inner Court expert from the Heavenly Seal Sect."
After getting off duty, that guard liked nothing more than boasting and chatting with the brothers around him, so he was always exceptionally well-informed about such gossip.
"In a single day?" Wen Lian went blank. She suddenly recalled Wei He pointing at the map and asking about the small gangs yesterday.
"Were the gangs with dead people the White Snake Gang and the Xuan Shui Gang!?" she hurriedly asked.
"Yes. Those two gang leaders were supposedly Entering Force Martial Master experts. They'd run rampant around this area for more than ten years, yet they suddenly died together." The guard sighed.
"I heard that too. Some say one person from the Heavenly Seal Sect's Inner Court did it single-handedly. How could that be possible? The White Snake Gang and Xuan Shui Gang had so many people there, and there were so many Three-Blood higher-ups. Even if one or two couldn't beat him, they could have beaten him to death
