The next day, in Fengluo City, the destruction of the Heavenly Wolf Gang was like a huge rock hurled into a tranquil lake, stirring ripple upon ripple.
The gang that had once run rampant, monopolizing the brothels and gambling houses, had vanished without a trace overnight, leaving only deathly silence.
"Inside the Wang Clan estate, the atmosphere was heavy."
Wang Li, the Wang Clan patriarch, sat in the seat of honor, his brows tightly knitted!
To the various powers in Fengluo City, the Heavenly Wolf Gang's businesses were a tempting piece of fat meat.
Yet now, that fat meat had become a scalding hot potato that no one dared touch lightly.
"Have you found out what caused this?"
"Why was the Heavenly Wolf Gang wiped out for no apparent reason?" Wang Lidao asked in a low voice.
A Wang Clan elder rose and bowed slightly. "Patriarch, the exact cause is still unknown.
"All we have discovered is that someone heard fighting inside the Heavenly Wolf Gang last night."
Someone had seen several black-clad figures emerge from there before disappearing.
On the cuffs of those black-clad figures was a symbol-a unicorn.
"Xiong Tian is dead, and almost everyone else was killed too!"
What?
Xiong Tian's strength had been on par with his own, also at the early Sea Transformation Realm.
This meant that this force had at least an expert at the peak Sea Transformation Realm or the Yin-Yang Realm!
Wang Li had also been shocked when he heard the news.
"As for the Heavenly Wolf Gang's businesses, just think of those brothels and gambling houses. Their revenue was considerable, bringing in an astonishing number of spirit stones each year."
The Ghost King Sect lurked behind the Heavenly Wolf Gang. Otherwise, how could Xiong Tian have established himself in Fengluo City so easily?
Wang Lidao pondered for a moment, but waves surged in his heart.
Since this force could destroy the Heavenly Wolf Gang, its strength was clearly extraordinary.
Could the Shadow Pavilion be unafraid even of the Ghost King Sect, one of the dynasty's four great powers?
Wang Li considered it briefly. Then let's watch and wait for now!
The Heavenly Wolf Gang was a subordinate force of the Ghost King Sect.
"Let's see how the Ghost King Sect reacts."
This matter had nothing to do with them...
Also, the Wang Clan disciples were to avoid stirring up trouble outside as much as possible!
Meanwhile, discussion was rife inside the Huang Lineage estate as well. The Huang patriarch sat with several elders, discussing the various possibilities behind the Heavenly Wolf Gang's destruction.
But they likewise could not uncover the truth behind it.
Although the Huang Lineage was also a sizable power in Fengluo City, before this unknown force,
they, too, were exceedingly cautious and dared not act rashly.
Inside the city lord's residence, City Lord Liu Qi wore a deeply worried expression.
He had received the news first thing that morning.
The Heavenly Wolf Gang's destruction this time had placed him under unprecedented pressure.
"Just what kind of force is this?" Liu Qi muttered to himself, his brows tightly knitted.
He was merely the lord of a small city, not the Buddha who delivered all living beings from suffering!
"Forget it. I'll just report the news to Heavenly Star City!"
Besides, the Heavenly Wolf Gang was a subordinate force of the Ghost King Sect. Could they not have known that?
Just as the various powers in Fengluo City were caught up in endless speculation over the Heavenly Wolf Gang's destruction,
the [Shadow Pavilion] personally released word that the Heavenly Wolf Gang's businesses belonged to them, and no one else was to lay a finger on them.
Otherwise, the Shadow Pavilion's assassins would make them pay a devastating price.
The news was like a massive bomb, raising towering waves throughout Fengluo City.
"This unknown force is called the Shadow Pavilion?"
Every power was speculating about the Shadow Pavilion's origins and strength.
And behind these surging undercurrents, a greater conspiracy was quietly unfolding.
Ding!! Congratulations on completing the mission! Congratulations! The host's force, [Shadow Pavilion], has become renowned throughout Fengluo City! Mission reward: 1 Silver Summoning Card 1 low-grade earth-tier martial skill manual: [Bone-Dissolving Soft Palm] Rewards have been issued. Please check and claim them!!
Luo Tian was sitting on the throne in the Shadow Pavilion's main hall.
[Bone-Dissolving Soft Palm]
Another martial skill in hand! Luo Tian smiled happily.
Use today's sign-in!
Today's sign-in reward: 1 bottle of [Indestructible Vajra Pills]
"Motherfucker, a whole bottle of this stuff?"
"Do I need this?"
"Women will only slow down my blade-drawing speed!" But even heroes could not pass the trial of a beautiful woman!
Luo Tian rose and went to the secret chamber in the rear courtyard to read the introduction to the low-grade earth-tier cultivation technique, [Bone-Dissolving Soft Palm]:
This palm technique was soft on the outside and hard within, focusing on explosive internal force. Its methods primarily used palm strikes, circulating smoothly, with movements flowing on without interruption.
Its force stored hardness within while displaying supple softness outside, erupting with savage power. It was an extremely difficult and insidious martial skill to cultivate!
After achieving minor mastery, those struck by its palm force would initially notice nothing at all.
But two hours later, the internal force would take effect. Every bone in their bodies would become as soft as cotton and break everywhere, and their internal organs would rupture, killing them!
After achieving major mastery, the internal force could erupt instantly, dissolving a person's body into nothingness!
If he had not cultivated it to major mastery, using it against someone in battle would still present problems.
"It can't instantly kill an enemy! That's a weakness too!"
Forget it. I'll comprehend [Bone-Dissolving Soft Palm] and cultivate it to minor mastery first!
He then began cultivating according to the introduction!
Again and again, Luo Tian struck out with his palms in the secret chamber!
Several days later, he finally attained minor mastery of the palm technique.
The palm force has to be both hard and fierce and soft and yielding. It really is difficult to cultivate!
But I did manage to succeed!
