Changle Trembles, Soaring to Success!

Changle Gang territory.

The former Golden Fish Gang hall master Feng Sheng has now sought refuge under the Changle Gang.

He shares a close relationship with one of the Changle Gang hall masters.

This hall master persuaded Feng Sheng to join the Changle Gang, and the Changle Gang leader also promised Feng Sheng that if he joined, he would become the seventh hall master of the Changle Gang.

Faced with such a warm invitation, Feng Sheng was naturally quite tempted, though he is still currently considering it.

After all, having just had his gang destroyed, joining another one immediately is the kind of behavior that inevitably invites contempt.

Moreover, the Changle Gang has too many hall masters—six in total—and if he were added, there would be seven.

As for the Changle Gang leader, he also has some understanding of the man, knowing him to be someone with grand aspirations but little talent, possessing mediocre strength yet overflowing ambition.

If he were to follow him, it is highly likely he would repeat the same mistakes that led to the downfall of the Golden Fish Gang.

He was lucky this time to escape with his life, but he might not have such luck the next time.

The destruction of the Golden Fish Gang dealt a heavy blow to Feng Sheng, leaving him somewhat disheartened and intending to rest for a period to recover his fighting spirit.

This day.

Feng Sheng is leisurely sipping tea under a pavilion.

His good friend in the Changle Gang, Hall Master Yang Hao, pushes open the courtyard gate in a rush, his expression excited.

"Something huge has happened!"

Hall Master Yang Hao walks quickly to Feng Sheng, takes a seat, and immediately picks up the teapot to pour himself a cup of tea, which he then drains in one gulp.

"What huge thing has happened?"

Feng Sheng looks at Yang Hao with curiosity.

He knows Yang Hao well enough to know that he is not a rash person and that his conduct is usually quite steady.

If it were not a major event, he likely would not be so composed.

Yang Hao's eyes flash with brilliance as he offers his congratulations to Feng Sheng: "The Green Tiger Gang leader is dead; your great revenge has been avenged!"

"What! The Green Tiger Gang leader is dead!?"

Feng Sheng widens his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

Han Qi, who is beside him, also wears an expression of disbelief at this moment, his heart filled with astonishment: "The Green Tiger Gang leader only destroyed the Golden Fish Gang not long ago; how could he just die like this!?"

Yang Hao is also somewhat emotional: "This matter is absolutely true; it happened last night. According to our mole planted in the Green Tiger Gang, a swordsman in black wearing a Black Dragon Mask raided and killed the Green Tiger Gang leader last night."

He shows a look of wariness mixed with admiration, then continues: "This person broke into the Green Tiger Gang leader's residence and killed him in less than ten breaths."

"Later, a hall master rushed to save him but was heavily injured and sent flying by a single strike. To suppress the three remaining hall masters of the Green Tiger Gang, he then killed Hall Master Xu Kun with a single blade!"

As he tells the story, both Feng Sheng and Han Qi are shocked: "Assassinating the Green Tiger Gang leader within ten breaths, heavily injuring a hall master with one strike, killing a hall master with one blade..."

The two look at each other, both seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

Especially Feng Sheng, who is a hall master himself; he even subconsciously touches his neck, feeling a chill run down his spine.

He has crossed blades with Xu Kun before, and their strength is about the same.

If the other party could kill Xu Kun with a single blade, wouldn't that mean he could also kill him with a single blade!

Feng Sheng is terrified, while at the same time, a strong sense of curiosity wells up in his heart: "Who exactly is this sacred person?"

Seeing the shocked expressions of Feng Sheng and his companion, Yang Hao laughs out loud: "I had the same expression as you when I first heard about this!"

"Regardless of who this person is, he has ultimately avenged my Golden Fish Gang!"

Feng Sheng sighs with emotion.

Han Qi also nods, feeling happy in his heart: "I was facing a manhunt because I captured the Green Tiger Gang leader's brother-in-law. Now that the Green Tiger Gang leader is dead, the others surely won't continue to hunt me down over this matter!"

With the Green Tiger Gang leader dead, his grudge with him can be considered completely dissipated.

The few hall masters of the Green Tiger Gang have no personal enmity with him, so they naturally won't go to the trouble of hunting him down.

"Now, the Green Tiger Gang has been renamed the Black Dragon Gang, and that mysterious swordsman has become the Black Dragon Gang leader..."

After laughing, Yang Hao's expression turns worried: "This person has extraordinary strength; if he is ambitious, I don't know if he will threaten our Changle Gang."

Just then, a former member of the Golden Fish Gang suddenly rushes in.

He first bows to Feng Sheng and Yang Hao, then looks at Han Qi and says: "Brother Qi, Hall Master Ruan Jin of the Green Tiger Gang is looking for you. He asked me to deliver this letter to you!"

"Hall Master Ruan Jin of the Green Tiger Gang!?"

Han Qi looks at the man in surprise, his face full of confusion: "He wants to see me? I don't know him at all!"

Feng Sheng is also puzzled. He looks at Han Qi and says: "Now that the Green Tiger Gang has become the Black Dragon Gang, could it be that this Black Dragon Gang leader knows you?"

"How could I possibly know a gang le..."

Han Qi tears open the letter, subconsciously retorting, but he stops in shock when he sees the content on the note.

"This..."

Han Qi's pupils contract as he stares at the words on the note: "Water Monkey, come see me at once," and his heart skips a beat.

"Oh no, could Chu have been captured by them!?"

Han Qi felt a surge of doubt and alarm in his heart.

Water Monkey was his nickname; when he was fishing in Heilu Bay, he had been the best swimmer among his young companions, which was how he earned the moniker.

Ever since he joined the Golden Fish Gang, no one had mentioned that nickname for a long time.

Only Liu Chu would occasionally still call him that.

"That's not right. The leader of the Green Tiger Gang is already dead, so how could they be going after Liu Chu? Unless..."

The image of Liu Chu killing the Green Tiger Gang hall master Zhu Kai in just a few moves in the alley that day suddenly flashed through Han Qi's mind.

"Could this mysterious swordsman be Liu Chu..."

Han Qi's shock and suspicion deepened: "No way, does Liu Chu really have that kind of strength!?"

But thinking about how he had only been learning martial arts for a few months and could already kill a ranked martial artist in a few moves, he felt it wasn't entirely impossible.

"Hall Master, I have some urgent business to attend to."

Han Qi said to Hall Master Feng Sheng.

Feng Sheng frowned: "Ruan Jin is a ranked martial artist; do you need me to accompany you?"

Han Qi shook his head: "No need, I can handle it myself."

He knew that the matter involving Liu Chu was likely related to this mysterious leader of the Black Dragon Gang, and having Feng Sheng accompany him would be useless.

If his guess was wrong, it might even put him in danger.

Stepping out of the Changle Gang, he saw that Hall Master Ruan Jin had indeed been waiting for a long time.

"Please!"

Hall Master Ruan Jin said politely.

"Sorry for the trouble."

Han Qi said distractedly, following behind Hall Master Ruan Jin toward the former territory of the Green Tiger Gang.

The two soon arrived at the Green Tiger Gang. Stepping inside and seeing the gang members coming and going, Han Qi felt a bit uneasy.

He braced himself and, led by Ruan Jin, arrived at the main hall.

"Please, the leader is waiting for you inside."

Ruan Jin made a gesture of invitation and then stepped aside.

Han Qi took a deep breath, gathered his courage, and stepped inside.

Entering the hall, he saw the figure of a swordsman in black standing quietly, his back turned to Han Qi, looking mysterious and powerful.

Han Qi was moved, unable to help but wonder if he had guessed wrong.

The figure turned around, revealing a face wearing a Black Dragon Mask. The pitch-black dragon-head mask, crafted from iron, looked cold and domineering.

Locking eyes with this person, Han Qi felt as if he were being stared at by a dormant black dragon. He felt immense pressure, and his breathing involuntarily stopped.

The black-clad figure reached out his left hand and slowly removed the mask.

Han Qi's eyes widened, his shock growing as the mask slid away: "Liu Chu! It really is you!!"

"That's right, it is me."

Liu Chu smiled, watching Han Qi's shocked expression, finding it quite amusing.

"You, you... did you really kill the Green Tiger Gang leader!?"

Han Qi was still in disbelief, his mind blank, and he asked with a stutter.

Liu Chu nodded slightly: "He sent people to assassinate me. To avoid any complications, I had no choice but to send him to meet the King of Hell first."

His tone was very calm, as if he were speaking of something trivial, but to Han Qi, it sounded like a thunderclap.

He looked at the extraordinary Liu Chu before him, feeling dazed, finding it hard to associate him with the image of his good brother Liu Chu.

But looking at this face, he was certain that this was indeed his good brother Liu Chu!

From a mere fisherman, in just a few short months, he had transformed into the leader of a faction... Liu Chu was now truly soaring, his status having undergone a heaven-shaking change!

Having regained his composure, Han Qi didn't know how he should address Liu Chu for a moment.
