The Fall of the Black Dragon Gang

"Seven days? That's too long. Let's do it now. Write home immediately and tell them to bring two thousand taels of silver to ransom you. If I haven't seen the money in three days, there's no need to keep your hands." Song Heilong spoke slowly and deliberately, yet it sent chills down the spine of the man kneeling on the ground.

"Master Song, I only have my elderly mother, wife, and daughter at home. Three days is too short to raise so much silver. I beg you to grant me a few more days." The man kowtowed repeatedly.

"I've made myself perfectly clear, get lost!" Song Heilong roared, a surge of murderous intent suddenly erupting from his body.

The man was trembling with fear and was being carried away by the burly man behind him.

Just then, Song Heilong heard a loud shout coming from downstairs.

"Soul-Calming Office is on duty, all of you, kneel down!"

Song Heilong frowned, reached out and put on a mandarin jacket before heading downstairs.

As soon as he stepped out, a large group of Constable approached him.

"Song Heilong, kneel down!" The leader shouted as soon as he saw Song Heilong.

"Officer, what's going on?" Song Heilong asked with a fawning smile.

"What's going on? Song Heilong, you've colluded with the Yinyuan Sect, a heinous crime! From this day forward, the Black Dragon Gang is expelled from the Prefectural City!" the Constable said coldly.

"What?" Song Heilong's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected things to be exposed so quickly.

"Take him down!" The lead Constable his hand, and seven or eight men rushed out from behind him, heading straight for Song Heilong.

Song Heilong's face suddenly turned ferocious. "Trying to capture me? Die!"

With a loud shout, he suddenly threw a punch, striking the man at the front squarely in the chest, sending him flying more than ten steps before crashing into several Constable behind him.

Then he strode away, rushed into the room, suddenly leaped up, smashed through the window bars, jumped down from the second floor, and landed safely on the street. He then ran at top speed towards a nearby alley.

"Pill Embrace!"

"That scoundrel has broken through! Quick, after him!"

Song Heilong ran wildly through the winding, dark alleys, his eyes filled with fear and unease.

He hadn't expected things to be exposed so quickly. The position of leader of the Black Dragon Gang seemed prestigious, but in reality, it was universally disliked, and he could lose his life at any time. That's why Song Heilong had always wanted to join the Yinyuan Sect so that he would have a powerful backer. However, he never expected that his secret collusion with the Yinyuan Sect would be exposed after only one year, and all his plans hadn't even had a chance to unfold.

Just as he was pondering this, a group of figures suddenly appeared in front of him; it turned out to be another group of Soul-Calming Office Constable.

Thus, the two groups of Constable blocked the two exits of the alley, surrounding him completely.

"Song Heilong, let's see how you escape! Kneel down now!"

Song Heilong's face showed despair. He had only managed to escape from the casino by surprise, but now, with so many Constable watching him, all of them prepared, how could he possibly have any chance of escape?

Fight to the bitter end? Song Heilong knew his own limitations; there was absolutely no way he could defeat so many Constable by himself.

Just then, a red-clad figure suddenly leaped down from a nearby Pavilion and landed lightly beside Song Heilong.

"My lord, save me!" Song Heilong cried out suddenly, as if grasping at a straw.

"Useless trash! You can't even handle this little thing. If I hadn't happened to be passing by, you should just die!" The one who landed was a woman dressed in red gauze, with a beautiful face and long, slender fingernails on her hands.

"Deng Qianyu!" The first Constable cried out. This woman was one of the top experts of the Yinyuan Sect in the prefectural Prefectural City. She was the number one villain, a ruthless killer, and a nightmare for countless people.

Deng Qianyu suddenly let out a long howl, the sound like waves, sweeping in all directions and instantly enveloping the dozens of Constable on both sides.

In an instant, most of these dozens of people went limp and collapsed to the ground, some even bleeding from all seven orifices and dying on the spot.

In that instant, Deng Qianyu reached out and grabbed Song Heilong's shoulder, suddenly leaping into the air and using her Lightness Skill to quickly disappear into the night.

A night of turmoil.

As dawn broke.

Inside the Luo Family Mansion, Song Heilong and Luo Wandeng stood on either side of each other, while Deng Qianyu sat in a chair directly in front of them, her long, slender, and fair legs crossed, her thin veil revealing her figure.

However, no one dared to look at Deng Qianyu. Her reputation as a witch was known throughout the Prefectural City, and she was quick to kill. No one present was unafraid of her.

"Fool, you can't even get the Soul-Calming Office to find out about something as simple as this. What use are you? By tonight, the Black Dragon Gang will be completely wiped out." Deng Qianyu sneered.

"I deserve to die, I have failed your trust!" Song Heilong repeatedly admitted his mistake.

Deng Qianyu played a significant role in the Black Dragon Gang's rapid expansion into the largest gang in the Prefectural City, and he was terrified that the other party might take his head in a fit of anger.

Fortunately, Deng Qianyu was not as ruthless and unscrupulous as imagined. She did not make a move, but instead coldly scrutinized Song Heilong.

Do you know why it was exposed?

"I don't know," Song Heilong replied.

"Hmph, did you send someone to Constable Lin Qing, the Gold Token of the Soul-Calming Office Assassination Division, at the headquarters?" Deng Qianyu asked.

"Damn that Old Man Hundred Poisons, it seems he betrayed me." Song Heilong gritted his teeth.

"With your meager abilities, you dared to provoke Wang Ling, that fiend? You're doomed! I saved you this time, so your life is mine now. From now on, you'll stay in the Luo Family and assist Luo Wandeng in continuing the search for children to prepare for the Thousand Infant Banquet," Deng Qianyu said coldly.

"Yes, sir!" they both replied in unison.

"My lord, if I may be so bold as to ask, what is the purpose of organizing this Thousand Infant Banquet?" Luo Wandeng asked.

Even in the Prefectural City, searching for a thousand babies in secret is no easy task.

Taking such a great risk must mean there's something in mind.

"It's alright to tell you. This Thousand Infant Banquet is for Spirit Descent, to wipe out the Soul-Calming Office in one fell swoop. As long as you work diligently for me, you'll reap the rewards after it's done," Deng Qianyu said calmly.

"Spirit Descent!" Luo Wandeng's heart trembled. Spirit Descent means setting up a ritual to invite Evil Spirit into a person's body. The latter's strength will greatly increase, but they will also lose their mind and be completely controlled by the Evil Spirit.

Every time Spirit Descent in the past, it has caused great turmoil. In extreme cases, there have even been instances where hundreds of thousands of people in a city were massacred by Evil Spirit.

He understood that the Yinyuan Sect was about to get serious, and a bloody storm was about to break out.

Three days later.

In a teahouse in the Prefectural City, Lin Qing was drinking tea when he overheard people nearby discussing recent major events in the city.

"The Black Dragon Gang is completely finished. They arrested hundreds of people a few days ago, and these days the Soul-Calming Office Constable is posting notices all over the city to hunt down the escaped Black Dragon Gang leader."

"Yes, the Fortune's Favor Gambling House have all been shut down. Those places have ruined countless lives; many people have lost everything."

Why did the Soul-Calming Office suddenly intervene?

"I heard that the Black Dragon Gang is secretly colluding with the Yinyuan Sect. They're incredibly audacious!"

Lin Qing listened quietly, downing his warm tea in one gulp. He thought to himself, "Wang Ling is truly swift and decisive. He took action less than half a month after the Assassination, and he wiped out all of the Black Dragon Gang's businesses in one fell swoop. With that, the gang is now completely history."

"Both are Soul-Calming Office, but the Prefectural City Soul-Calming Office is much stronger than that of Jiangyin County. The so-called number one gang in Prefectural City is no match for the Soul-Calming Office." Lin Qing pondered, got up and went out, heading towards Golden Treasure Tower across the street.

Today is his day off. Soul-Calming Office Constable Division, he only gets one day off every seven days. He decided to come to the Prefectural City to experience its prosperity and, incidentally, to inquire if there are any miraculous elixirs or precious medicines that can heal his broken spine.
