A Dark and Stormy Night for Murder

Yan City.

Chen Long howled in agony, yet none of his underlings dared to move. They all stared at the man wearing the Ghost God Mask in terror, too afraid to speak.

"Tsk, tsk... weren't you quite tough just a moment ago? How did you end up like this?"

Lin Ge looked at him with icy eyes, his voice dripping with mockery.

"I... I don't know who you are, but if you kill me, the Wild Wolf Gang will never let Li Quan off!"

Cold sweat beaded on Chen Long's forehead as he gasped for air, speaking in a panicked rush.

"Fine, you may leave. I shall pay you a visit later."

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Ge said indifferently.

Chen Long did not know if Lin Ge was telling the truth, but he understood this might be his only chance to escape. Without hesitation, he scrambled toward the door and vanished from sight.

"Boss, wait for us!"

Seeing that Chen Long had already fled, the remaining men dared not stay a second longer. They scrambled after him, disappearing from before Li Quan and Lin Ge.

"They certainly run fast."

Lin Ge stowed the Ghost God Mask into his Universe Bag, revealing a youthful, naive face with a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"Where have you been?"

Seeing Lin Ge again after half a month, Li Quan felt a surge of warmth and couldn't help but ask with a sincere smile.

"I went out for a bit of training," Lin Ge replied with a smile.

"Then do you have the confidence to defeat that consultant of the Wild Wolf Gang now?" Li Quan asked, filled with anticipation.

To this question, Lin Ge merely smiled and offered no answer.

In his heart, the Wild Wolf Gang was nothing more than a rabble that could stir up no real trouble. Had this training not taken slightly longer than expected, he would have wiped the entire gang out long ago.

It just so happens that today, I shall make the Wild Wolf Gang disappear from Yan City.

Lin Ge thought to himself, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"I suspect that once he returns today, he will go straight to tell that consultant. You..."

Li Quan's words were hesitant; after all, he lacked confidence in defeating the Wild Wolf Gang's consultant.

"Where is the headquarters of the Wild Wolf Gang?" Lin Ge nodded slightly and asked calmly.

"What are you planning to do?"

Hearing this, Li Quan became extremely vigilant, frowning as he asked.

"Nothing much, just fulfilling my promise."

Lin Ge answered casually, appearing as though he didn't hold the Wild Wolf Gang in any regard at all.

"You..."

Li Quan didn't know how to dissuade him, so he eventually told him the location of the Wild Wolf Gang.

"Wait for my good news."

Lin Ge chuckled, leaped into the air, and vanished from Li Quan's sight.

On the other side, Chen Long rushed to Elder Huang's residence without stopping for a single moment, his expression frantic.

Elder Huang frowned slightly, a flicker of dissatisfaction in his eyes, but considering the man was working for him, he didn't dwell on it and asked indifferently, "Did you get it?"

The question made Chen Long instantly nervous. His eyes darted around as he stammered, "Elder Huang, I... I didn't get it."

"What!"

Elder Huang's gaze turned icy cold in an instant. A formidable aura began to emanate from his body, pressing down on Chen Long until he could barely breathe.

"Elder... Huang..."

Chen Long's face turned deathly pale, and he could barely articulate his words, as if he were on the verge of death.

Seeing Chen Long in such a state, Elder Huang didn't truly intend to take his life, so he withdrew his aura. However, he then noticed that Chen Long was missing an arm. A look of surprise crossed his eyes as he asked, "What happened to your arm?"

"Elder Huang, that Li Quan has an expert at the Origin Pellet Realm backing him. This arm was taken by him," Chen Long said, his face darkening with hatred as he gritted his teeth.

"Origin Pellet Realm? No wonder he dared to do business in Yan City. So that's how it is."

Elder Huang's brow furrowed. He did not want to provoke an Origin Pellet Realm expert right now, as he needed time to acquire a large amount of Pure Origin Stone or medicinal herbs to break through his current level.

"From today on, stop bothering with that Li Quan. Consider the loss of your arm a lesson learned."

After a moment of thought, Elder Huang decided not to provoke Li Quan for the time being, so as not to incur the enmity of that Origin Pellet Realm expert.

"But Elder Huang, what about your items..."

Chen Long's expression shifted upon hearing this, but before he could finish his sentence, Elder Huang cut him off.

"As for the Origin Stones and medicinal herbs, I will find another way. In short, I do not want any mishaps during this critical juncture. Do you understand?"

Elder Huang's words were full of warning. Chen Long was a man who held grudges and sometimes failed to distinguish the importance of matters. If he were to accidentally offend Li Quan and that Origin Pellet Realm expert again, it would be difficult for him to clean up the mess.

Chen Long heard this, and a flicker of resentment flashed through his eyes, though it went unnoticed by Elder Huang. He hid his emotions well, putting on a look of trepidation as he said, "Please rest assured, Elder Huang, I will not act recklessly."

Elder Huang was quite satisfied with Chen Long's obedience; the furrow between his brows smoothed out, and he began to smile slightly.

"Go on then, and think of other ways to find more medicinal herbs and Pure Origin Stones. If I succeed in the future, the entire Yan City will belong to the Wild Wolf Gang."

Chen Long nodded submissively and turned to leave.

No one noticed that the moment he turned away, the obedience on his face vanished, replaced by a cold, sinister expression!

Night fell quickly, the entire sky pitch-black, devoid of even a glimmer of light.

At this moment, most of the Wild Wolf Gang members were already fast asleep, with only a few left on guard.

Whoosh!

A black shadow flew over the headquarters of the Wild Wolf Gang, then began to circle the perimeter.

So this is the headquarters of the Wild Wolf Gang? It's not much to look at.

Lin Ge curled his lip, muttered to himself, and opened his system, immediately activating the detection function. On the panel, every member of the Wild Wolf Gang appeared clearly.

"This blinking red dot must be that expert in the Yuan Dan Realm."

Lin Ge finished speaking and looked down at the disciples of the Wild Wolf Gang below, his eyes filled with pity.

"A dark night with a high wind—truly a perfect night for killing. Let's move, Xiao Zi."

The beast named Xiao Zi was none other than the Demon Flame Emperor Dragon that had fought Lin Ge in the forest.

At this moment, the Demon Flame Emperor Dragon had lost its former arrogance and gained a touch of composure. It gazed down at the Wild Wolf Gang below, opened its massive maw, and spat out a ball of flame that shot directly toward the center of the compound.

"BOOM!"

In an instant, flames soared into the sky. The members of the Wild Wolf Gang were jolted awake by screams, only to see several buildings engulfed in a sea of dark purple fire, reduced to ruins.

Chen Long also awoke from his slumber. Witnessing everything before him, his face clouded over with fury. Suddenly, he sensed two powerful auras and looked upward, his pupils constricting sharply.
