No One Could Save Them!

He Yuxiu sat silently in the room, smoking one cigarette after another.

There were about a hundred people waiting for her orders outside the door, but she didn't know who to target.

After much deliberation, He Yuxiu decided to first go and meet with the Chu family. "That bastard Chu Huaijun, the He Family has always treated him well, and now he's stabbing me in the back."

I'm going to his house right now and asking that bastard in person why he's working for someone from Outer State!

Ma Wu tried to dissuade He Yuxiu: "Sister Xiu, you don't need to ask him. You can see this for yourself."

After the death of the head of the Chu family, the Chu family barely managed to stay afloat among the Four Great Families, and Chu Huaijun's reputation was even inferior to that of Chu Huaiyuan.

He Yuxiu nodded. "Yes, that girl can actually do some things, she's much more capable than that bastard Chu Huaijun!"

Ma Wu said, "The Chu family has a rare chance to turn things around. Do you think Chu Huaijun won't go all out? If you go, the Guanfang Envoy and the Chu family will both attack, He Family will be finished!"

"Afraid of them? Let them all come at me! I'll see just how capable they are!"

"Sister Xiu, calm down. It's hard to say what my dad will do; he's waiting to turn things around too!"

"Old Ma..." He Yuxiu sat back on the bed, "Old Ma wants to stab me in the back too? He fucking wants to stab me in the back too?"

Lu Chunying's expression was solemn. She recalled a sentence that Lu Dongliang had once said, "This is the nature of Pro State."

Lu Chunying couldn't quite explain what exactly constituted the essence of Pro State, but she had gained some understanding of it.

Ma Wu frowned. "Sister Xiu, take Madam Yan and let's go to Xindi to hide for a couple of days."

"Why should I hide? What did we do? The Jiang Xiang Gang's branches were wiped out, what does that have to do with us?"

Ma Wu couldn't understand it either. "Why would Outer State go to such lengths for the sake of Jiang Xiang Gang?"

Lu Chunying said, "Shouldn't we ask the Guanfang Envoy? What exactly is their purpose in doing this?"

"I've already asked!" He Yuxiu's temper flared up again. "I've asked countless times, but those bastards won't say a word."

Ma Wu tried to sort out his thoughts, but after a long time, he couldn't come up with a single clue.

If only Seventh Brother were here, we could discuss this with him.

"Sister Xiu, you should go hide in Xindi first. I'll find out about this for you!" Ma Wu left the He Family and took a car to the newspaper office.

He instructed the editor to immediately write an article entitled, "Jiang Xiang Gang's crimes are too numerous to count, Guanfang Envoy these villains. What is the reason for this?"

The newspapers were somewhat afraid and dared not write about the Guanfang Envoy.

Ma Wu told the editor not to be afraid, that the monthly payment would be doubled, and that a special liaison would be arranged to ensure the safety of the newspaper office.

The next day, the daily newspaper was published, and Ma Wu walked around the various newsstands, only to find that the coverage wasn't quite enough.

When they first took over the newspaper business from the Lu Family, Ma Wu and Ling Miaoying were locked in a fierce competition.

Now that Ling Miaoying is dead and the business has been handed over to Shen Rongqing, Ma Wu is finding it difficult to compete.

Shen Rongqing was somewhat struggling in the film industry, but she was a true expert in newspapers, controlling about 60% of the business at major newsstands.

I need to ask her for help with this.

Ma Wu went directly to the film company.

Shen Rongqing didn't want to see him, but after much hesitation, she still went to see him.

After they met, Shen Rongqing lowered her head and said, "Jun Yang, didn't I tell you to forget me?"

"I want to forget you, but I can't."

"We can't be together..."

"I know you have your reasons. We can talk about other things later. Right now, I need your help."

Upon hearing that Ma Junyang had come for help, Shen Rongqing looked up and asked, "How can I help you?"

"Jiang Xiang Gang is a bunch of beasts, and now someone is protecting them. We must seek justice! Let us, as intellectuals, use our bones and pens to demand justice for those who have been harmed by them!"

"Jun Yang, tell me the whole story."

He Jiaqing received a message from Shen Rongqing at the hotel. "Jiaqing, the Guanfang Envoy protecting Jiang Xiang Gang, which has affected your Lineage's business. Should this be reported in the newspapers?"

He Jiaqing had too many things to deal with, and if Shen Rongqing hadn't brought it up, he would have really forgotten about the newspaper.

"Write, sister, tell our best writers to put in all their effort. We need to get it published not only in newspapers, but also in magazines and movies!"

At the Dark Star Bureau, Xiao Zhengong glanced through the report and asked Director Shen Jingye, "He Jiaqing exploded?"

Shen Jingye nodded and said, "He resisted arrest, so we had no choice but to shoot him on the spot."

"Are you sure that's He Jiaqing?" Xiao Zhengong was skeptical.

"The DNA comparison results are here, they're in the report, take a look."

"I don't believe in that stuff," Xiao Zhengong said, standing up. "I want to see He Jiaqing's body with my own eyes."

As Xiao Zhengong was about to leave, he noticed a halo of light emanating from around the room.

Boundary.

The border is similar to those along the borders of various parts of Pro State.

Xiao Zhengong looked at Shen Jingye.

Shen Jingye stood up and said, "Zhenggong, you've already used the Balance Seal. Now you must obey the arrangements. You'll have to stay in the bureau for the time being."

Another matter is that in Pro State, the Guanfang Envoy has taken action, and all of the He Family's assets have been frozen.

We have fulfilled our obligations, and you must also fulfill your responsibilities. Here is a list; please take a look.

Xiao Zhengong took the list, which contained five place names.

"What does this mean?"

Shen Jingye said, "These five branches of Jiang Xiang Gang will henceforth be under the direct Guanfang Envoy."

Of course, they were still nominally part of Jiang Xiang Gang, and their actions were also attributed to Jiang Xiang Gang's gang.

Xiao Zhengong's brow twitched. "So, you mean the profits are yours, and I'm the one taking the blame?"

"Zheng Gong, watch your words." Shen Jingye smiled at Xiao Zhengong. "I warned you not to use the Balance Seal lightly, but you've already used it."

Our taking over a portion of the church is not about seizing anything from you; it's about better balancing our relationships with various parties in Pro State.

Fundamentally, this is in the interests of both of us; it's a win-win situation.

Xiao Zhengong looked at Shen Jingye with icy eyes.

Shen Jingye handed the pen to Xiao Zhengong: "If there are no problems, sign the Life Contract. The Guanfang Envoy will send the new Hall Master tomorrow."

In the office of the Dark Star Bureau's Law Enforcement Team, Qin Minghui was staring blankly at the newspaper.

Chen Changrui stepped forward and said, "Chuunibyou, aren't you going home yet?"

He was stunned when he saw the newspaper in Qin Minghui's hand.

This isn't Outer State newspaper; it's Pro State newspaper.

"Chuunibyou, where did you get this newspaper? You can't just throw around something like this..."

Qin Minghui didn't answer the question, but instead asked Chen Changrui, "Team Leader, what is the Jiang Xiang Gang?"

"Jiang Xiang Gang is a gang in Pro State."

"Is this a gang that commits murder, arson, fraud, child abduction, and all sorts of evil deeds? Is our mission at the hospital to protect this gang?"

Qin Minghui looked at Chen Changrui very seriously.

Chen Changrui pondered for a moment and said, "When you came to the team, you said you wanted to protect everything important in this world."

Some things cannot be judged by appearances alone. This gang is very important to us, and what we are doing is also a form of protection.

"This is not what I'm here to protect." Qin Minghui put away the newspaper and left the office with a cold expression.

Li Banfeng peeled off three Lotus Seed from his Portable Abode.

These three Lotus Seed came from the remains of the Mountain Pulling Master and a group of Strange Monsters, the corpse of the Mourning Star, and the corpse of Lin Dexing, respectively.

The refining of this batch of pills was indeed slow, but according to Li Banfeng's estimate, if enough Golden Essence Pill could be produced, it would be enough for him to advance to the Tenth Layer.

But after the Lotus Seed burst open, Li Banfeng became nervous.

He smelled a strange fragrance.

What was exploded out was not the Golden Essence Pill, but the Profound Essence Pill.

The Profound Essence Pill that almost killed my Wife back then.

The three Profound Essence Pill filled the room with a unique fragrance. Except for the Judge's Brush, which remained motionless, all the magical treasures turned their attention to these three pills.

They seem to be able to only enjoy the view from afar.

Hong Ying was different; she was tempted to take action, since she could consume the pills.

"What are you doing, you bitch!" the record player snapped. "You've eaten so much flesh and blood, and now you want some pills?"

Hong Ying snorted and continued combing her hair in front of the mirror.

The record player put the pills into the front cabinet. "My dear husband, you can't take these pills yet. Give them to Little Slave for safekeeping."

Li Banfeng didn't care. "What's the point of storing it? Just eat it. Just be careful to check the quality and don't eat too much."

"Little Slave husband truly cherishes me, Little Slave serve him wholeheartedly. We are so loving as husband and wife, yet we've driven all these wretched women in this house to their deaths!"

Hong Ying drew a mouth on the gun tip and secretly spat at the record player.

The record player continued, "My dear husband, these three pills are not needed now, but they will be useful in the future. Little Slave keep them for you. Please remove the fragrance from your body before going out."

A cloud of steam enveloped Li Banfeng, removing the medicinal scent from his clothes. Li Banfeng looked at the calendar poster and asked Dream Virtue, "How long have I been at home?"

"Thirteen hours, twenty-eight minutes."

After more than thirteen hours, my luck improved slightly.

The key is on the train, Portable Abode follows the train, and Li Banfeng follows Portable Abode Ju, so the Travel Cultivator is not a bad deal.

Judging by the time, it should be almost time to arrive at the station. Li Banfeng left Portable Abode, quickly packed his things in the carriage, and got off the train with Luo ZhengNan.

Black Stone Slope, Li Banfeng's favorite city. He loves its customs, and even more so, its spirit of courage.

After taking over Lu Maoxian's business, Li Banfeng's influence in Black Stone Slope became second to none, but now is not the time to use that influence.

Yu Nan once said that Jiang Xiang Gang was a dog.

That description is inaccurate. The accurate description is that Jiang Xiang Gang is a mad dog.

Among the various gangs in Pro State, the Jiang Xiang Gang's actions are the most despicable, but few large Lineage or gangs Jiang Xiang Gang, because once bitten by this mad dog, the consequences are endless.

In Black Stone Slope, Li Banfeng's name is Night Boss, but if he acts as Night Boss, all of Li Banfeng's businesses in Black Stone Slope will be threatened.

The appropriate identity is still that of Benefactor, and there are no concerns about being Benefactor.

Li Banfeng bought a newspaper in front of the station. The front page was filled with news about Jiang Xiang Gang's gang. Li Banfeng glanced at the news and went directly to the gang with Luo ZhengNan.

It's a good thing the newspapers are paying attention; this will ensure these cockroaches never have to face the light of day again.

But this also brought some trouble to Li Banfeng. The bigger the matter became, the more guarded Jiang Xiang Gang became.

Fortunately, the gang in Black Stone Slope is not difficult to deal with. The people in Black Stone Slope are tough, and Jiang Xiang Gang's gang has a hard time doing business there. The gang only has three sub-gangs, and each sub-gang only has three to five people.

With just these ten or so people, they barely managed to hold up a flag for Jiang Xiang Gang. Li Banfeng roughly calculated that it wouldn't take half a day to take down this flag.

But when they were almost at the entrance, Luo ZhengNan realized something was wrong.

More than a dozen fortune tellers and face readers appeared in front of the temple.

Making money through fortune telling is also one of the main businesses of the Jiang Xiang Gang.

But so many fortune tellers gathered near the temple weren't just there to swindle money. Luo ZhengNan knew the ins and outs of the place; they were recruiting people.

The idea that the Black Stone Slope branch is going to expand is quite novel.

Li Banfeng has just wiped out two gangs. Logically, the other gangs should be on high alert and act cautiously.

Why is this gang being so ostentatious?

Especially in a place like Black Stone Slope, would they dare to act so brazenly here?

Given the unusual circumstances, Luo ZhengNan advised Li Banfeng not to act rashly, but to gather information first.

Li Banfeng went to the newspaper office and asked Bai Qiusheng to investigate the cause of the matter.

Recently, the newspapers have been full of news about Jiang Xiang Gang. "Ye Lai Xiang" is a legitimate newspaper, and Bai Qiusheng has also obtained a lot of information about it.

"Seventh Master, Jiang Xiang Gang's Black Stone Hall has gained the support of Outer State and has become increasingly arrogant lately. The Child Snatchers was almost extinct in Black Stone Slope, but it seems to have resurfaced recently."

"Child Snatchers" refers to a method of abducting children.

Luo ZhengNan advised Li Banfeng: "Seventh Master, now that the Guanfang Envoy has intervened, we should stop. In Pro State, we must not offend the Guanfang Envoy under any circumstances."

Li Banfeng lowered the brim of his hat and said to Luo ZhengNan, "You go back to Green Water City first and wait for my news. No matter who intervenes today, they can't save these bastards' lives."
