Start with a red name

This only accounts for the number of deaths on both sides in direct combat.

If we also include those who were seriously wounded or killed, as well as the post-war "cleanup" of the surrendered bandits, including those who were too badly injured and those who were not sincere when they were recruited into the Black Wind Gang, then we should also include them.

The total number of deaths on both sides in the entire "Operation Golden Leaf Cliff" was nearly 1,700.

Gained 57,290 points of good fortune and 2023 points of bad fortune.

It can be said that this is extremely terrifying; looking at the entire bandit community of Xuanyou and Erzhou, this is a catastrophe-like event.

Compared to "Operation Baihetan," which only took in more than 3,000 people, nearly 1,500 people died.

The "damage rate" is even greater than that of "Golden Leaf Cliff".

But strangely enough, those who were involved, except for the dead and the bandits who joined the Black Wind Gang alive, did not feel much about it.

Besides being numb to life and death due to their accustomed experience, they are also now all holding their heads high and staring at the sky above and the distant future through various means, paying little attention to what is under their feet.

To achieve this effect, the expenditure of Hongyun is indispensable.

After several consecutive blessings of good fortune, a total of 23,480 points of good fortune were consumed.

Following Guo Nan, two more late-stage Marrow Refinement cultivators impressed him with their performance in various aspects, allowing them to stand out and break through to the peak of the Marrow Refinement realm.

Faced with these blatant examples, some deeply ingrained notions in the minds of every bandit were shattered.

The assessment of a person's cultivation level has shifted from "only talent" and "only resources" to "only loyalty".

Within the Black Wind Clan, the only correct answer to rapidly improve one's cultivation, strength, and status is loyalty.

Loyalty, loyalty, and damn loyalty!
Moreover, this loyalty is not reflected in words, but in actions, in the strict execution of orders from superiors.

Guo Nan, along with two other newly promoted peak Marrow Refinement cultivators, are the most convincing examples.

Under this consensus, although the Black Wind Gang has expanded considerably, with most of its members being newcomers, its cohesion has not only not diminished but has actually been further strengthened.

During the reorganization, Geng Xuan could clearly feel that the Black Wind Regiment, composed entirely of bandits, had gradually developed a high level of morale and fighting spirit through a series of battles, attrition, and lucky draw incentives.

This time, Geng Xuan spent more time completely dispersing the more than 9,500 members and reorganizing them into 950 squads, 190 companies, and 19 brigades.

After dealing with all of this, it was already evening on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Geng Xuan gathered Zhang Kai, Guo Nan, and two newly promoted peak Marrow Refinement cultivators, Ren Jun and Dai Ming, together.

—The peak marrow refinement cultivator, who came from another bandit gang, did not spend more time on this person because he did not kneel as decisively as Zhang Kai. Following Tie Lang's advice, Geng Xuan did not waste any more time on him and sent him on his way without any pity.

"I plan to take Iron Wolf ahead first, and this team will be temporarily under your command."

We'll rest at Golden Leaf Cliff tonight and set off early tomorrow morning for 'Rapid River Cave'.

After briefly explaining his plans, Geng Xuan looked at the four of them and asked, "So, are you confident?"

Through today's "Operation Golden Leaf Cliff," the "trustworthiness" of Zhang Kai, Guo Nan, and others has been further solidified.

In addition, he had also carefully observed the two newly promoted peak marrow refinement experts, Ren Jun and Dai Ming.

Beyond judging them personally, there is an even more important point.

As the team rapidly expanded, the voice and influence of each individual within the team, including Zhang Kai, a peak-level Marrow Refinement cultivator who brought the entire group with him, was rapidly declining.

This was especially true for bandits like Guo Nan, Ren Jun, and Dai Ming, whose cultivation levels were originally lower than Zhang Kai's and whose base of influence was smaller.

In such a system, they certainly wield great power and hold high positions, but all of this can only be established by relying on the banner of the "Black Wind Gang".

With the team already having a certain level of morale and fighting spirit, coupled with the checks and balances among the four of them.

Each of them can only feel that they have great power and can control their own arms by following his arrangements and promoting them.

Once you go against this principle, you will encounter obstacles everywhere.

This includes those most trusted core members who were scattered and reorganized in various places.

None of them will be exceptions.

It was precisely because of this series of prerequisites that Geng Xuan was able to let go again with relative peace of mind.

Faced with such an important task, the four men, who were already somewhat familiar with Geng Xuan's style of doing things, did not humbly decline but solemnly accepted the order.

After making arrangements for the "Golden Leaf Cliff" team, Geng Xuan prepared to leave with Iron Wolf.

At that very moment, through the "Earth Listening Technique" of the Perfect Realm, Geng Xuan "heard" that a cavalry of about five hundred people was approaching from the southeast of "Golden Leaf Cliff".

Judging from the opponent's movement speed, it can be determined that the opponent is not carrying too much baggage and is moving at a considerable speed.

It takes about an hour to reach "Golden Leaf Cliff".

After thinking for a moment, Geng Xuan informed Zhang Kai and the others of the situation.

"...I'll leave this entirely to you. I won't stay behind alone. Can you handle it well?"

"Rest assured, Commander, we will wipe them all out and not let a single one escape!" Zhang Kai replied solemnly.

Geng Xuan nodded, and just as he had said, he did not stay at "Golden Leaf Cliff" to wait for that team to come.

However, Geng Xuan, who took the Iron Wolf and left "Golden Leaf Cliff" directly, did not actually go far away.

He stayed in the dark desert for more than an hour.

They watched as the cavalry of about 500 men entered "Golden Leaf Cliff," and then, without exception, they were all surrounded and swallowed up by Zhang Kai and his men.

“We should get going,” Geng Xuan said to Tie Lang beside him.

Soon, Iron Wolf felt his feet leave the ground, and a fierce gust of wind continued to slap his face.

Speechless all the way.

This time, Iron Wolf was much more at ease than before.

Although it was night, he had the leisure to observe and take stock.

By marking several bright stars in the sky, he made a relatively clear judgment about the direction of the two people's movement at that moment.

"west."

"Is this the way back to Wild Wolf Gorge?"

The passage through several places with distinctive terrain and landforms further corroborated his judgment.

When his feet finally touched the ground again, the two were on the edge of a rather large stone forest.

As he deftly took the food and water he was carrying from his back and handed them to Geng Xuan, he quickly looked him over and said:
"Commander, if my judgment is correct, if we travel another hundred miles or so to the west, we will enter 'Wild Wolf Gorge'."

After quickly eating and drinking for a while, Geng Xuan shook his head and said, "We're not going to 'Wild Wolf Gorge'."

Iron Wolf asked in astonishment, "Not going to 'Wild Wolf Gorge'? Where are we going then?"

“Fish Scale Dock,” Geng Xuan said.

Upon hearing him utter those three words, Tie Lang gaped in astonishment and exclaimed, "The bandit stronghold in the westernmost part of Youzhou?"

"Mm." Geng Xuan.

"..." Iron Wolf was speechless.

However, he was also very quick-witted and soon guessed Geng Xuan's next strategy.

"Commander, do you intend to emulate the 'White Crane Beach' approach, absorbing all the bandits gathered at 'Fish Scale Dock' before forcing them to migrate eastward?"

It's not surprising that Iron Wolf, who has followed this far, can see all this.

Geng Xuan didn't hide anything and nodded, saying, "That's how it is."

After receiving a clear answer, a vivid picture had already formed in Iron Wolf's mind.

The bandits of Xuanzhou started from "Baihetan" on the far east side and moved westward.

The bandits of Youzhou started from "Fish Scale Dock" on the far west side and moved eastward.

Thinking of this, Iron Wolf couldn't help but take a deep breath.

After a while, as if suddenly remembering something, his brow twitched, and he hurriedly said:

"Commander, on our journey to Youzhou, we may encounter the Chief of the Dark Night Division, so you must be prepared."

If he discovers our plan and manages to escape, your scheme may very well fail.

Geng Xuan raised an eyebrow and asked curiously:

"Oh, the head of the Dark Night Division? Shouldn't he be serving Dong Guan right now? Why is he in the bandit's den?"

Iron Wolf explained:
"His goal is the same as mine."

"I see."

Geng Xuan nodded, understanding dawning on his mind.

Iron Wolf appeared at Wild Wolf Village to pay his respects to Song Mingzhu, his purpose being to try and free up some grain from Wild Wolf Village.

To meet the enormous consumption caused by the rapid increase in population in Wild Wolf Gorge in a short period of time.

This allows them to "hold on" peacefully until the moment when the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry takes over.

The reason why the Dark Night Chief didn't spend the New Year with Dong Guan but instead went to the "bandit's den" was for the same purpose.

However, Iron Wolf's mission location is in Xuanzhou, while the Dark Night Chief's mission location is in Youzhou.

Just then, Iron Wolf suddenly said, "...I do hope that we can meet him face to face."

Geng Xuan paused for a moment, then understood what he meant.

For them, the best-case scenario is indeed a head-on encounter.

If you don't encounter it, the problem is actually quite significant.

Geng Xuan realized that he had gained a total of sixty points of luck in the process of consuming the entire "Golden Leaf Cliff".

He then expressed cautious optimism regarding Iron Wolf's "prayer".

"What is the cultivation level of the Dark Night Chief?" Geng Xuan asked.

"The second realm is perfected."

At this point, Iron Wolf paused and explained:

"Because of their different roles, the Dark Night Division is not known for its direct combat."

The Dark Night Commander's cultivation level was also much lower than that of the Iron Cavalry Commander at the same level.

He was far inferior to Yu Hou, the commander of the Iron Feather Guard, and there was no comparison whatsoever.

Geng Xuan nodded slightly.

Because of the overwhelming success of his previous efforts, he could tolerate those complete strangers.

People as close and familiar as Tie Lang actually have a serious overestimation of their true cultivation level.

Fortunately-

The problem is not big.

Geng Xuan thought to himself.

……

More than half an hour later, Geng Xuan left the stone forest carrying the iron wolf and continued to travel westward at high speed.

Even when passing through Wild Wolf Gorge, he did not stop.

Not far ahead lies the northernmost edge of the Xuanqing Sea, the border between the Xuanyou and Xuanqing states.

After that, Geng Xuan took two more breaks.

As the sun rose above the horizon on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Geng Xuan was already more than two thousand miles west of Xuanqinghai.

Around nine o'clock in the morning, guided by the "intelligent navigation" of the Iron Wolf, Geng Xuan, who had traveled more than four thousand miles across the vast desert, stopped once again.

Looking at a distant area, the sandy soil shimmered with a strange, fish-scale-like luster under the morning sun due to the unique composition of the sand.

Although he had already guessed the answer, Geng Xuan still asked, "Is that Fish Scale Dock?"

“Yes,” Iron Wolf replied.

Geng Xuan looked at Tie Lang and said:

"You don't need me to teach you what to do next, right?"

Iron Wolf first shook his head, then nodded firmly, and said:

"Imitating the story of 'White Crane Beach'".

"Then let's get started."

After gaining Geng Xuan's approval, Tie Lang began his operation with practiced ease.

Having had the experience before, Iron Wolf was noticeably more composed this time.

However, Iron Wolf, who thought it would go more smoothly than "Operation White Crane Beach", encountered an unexpected problem at the very first step.

After entering "Fish Scale Dock" and finding a quiet place,

The first thing Iron Wolf did was to use his authority within the Dark Night Division to activate all the Dark Night Division spies currently gathered at "Fish Scale Dock".

After gaining a more detailed understanding of the bandit gangs they were each hiding in, different instructions were given to the different spies.

Just then, a spy who looked no different from the other Dark Night spies suddenly had his pupils shrink involuntarily after hearing Iron Wolf's instructions.

Then he returned to normal.

Because of his excellent self-control, the change in that instant was only visible in his eyes, and Iron Wolf did not notice anything unusual at all.

After making the arrangements, Iron Wolf asked, "Is everything alright?"

The other party replied decisively, "No problem."

Iron Wolf nodded: "Go ahead, and wait for my next instructions."

The other person immediately got up and was about to leave quickly.

Just then, another voice rang out from inside the room.

"Wait a minute."

Geng Xuan came out from the room next door.

His sudden interruption startled Iron Wolf, who turned to look at him.

The Dark Night scout, who had already stood up and was walking out, froze slightly upon hearing this.

Then, his figure shot outwards like an arrow released from a bow.

His performance was quite good.

Unfortunately, all of this was in vain in the face of such a huge gap.

Geng Xuan didn't even chase after them to attack; he simply said softly, "Stop."

The word he uttered seemed to have a magical effect, freezing the other person in place.

Not to mention the shock and despair this person felt.

Feeling tricked, Iron Wolf was even more furious.

He said to Geng Xuan, "Commander, let me interrogate him."

"Go ahead with the interrogation." Geng Xuan nodded in agreement, but then added a word of caution:

"Be careful, his suicidal tendencies are very strong right now. Don't let him seize the opportunity to end his own life."

"I'll be careful!" Iron Wolf said through gritted teeth.

Ten minutes later.

The Dark Knight scout was in so much pain that his eyes bulged out and he was drenched in sweat, but he couldn't make a sound. He could only open his mouth and scream silently.

At this moment, he couldn't even bring himself to kill himself.

After performing another set of "hospitality," Iron Wolf gently tapped the man's throat with his finger, and the man, who had been roaring silently, was finally able to let out a painful groan.

Iron Wolf looked at him and said:
"Say it."

The man, with drooping eyelids, was only breathing heavily and didn't respond at all, as if he hadn't heard him at all.

Seeing this, Tie Lang gritted his teeth in hatred and was about to continue, but Geng Xuan raised his hand to stop him, saying, "That's enough."

Iron Wolf glanced at him, lowered his head slightly, and stepped aside.

In those short ten minutes, this spy from the Dark Night Division had already "enjoyed" several sets of "hospitality" developed by the Dark Night Division.

It was clear that he was in great pain, to the point that he wished for death.

Even so, he did not respond to Iron Wolf's probing questions from all angles, whether they were indirect or direct.

However, Geng Xuan, who could simultaneously observe the changes in this person's emotions and "ripples," already basically knew the "reference answer."

He looked at the man and said directly:
"What is your relationship with Chief Dark Knight?"

The person, who was panting with his head down as if no one else was around, paused almost imperceptibly in his breathing.

Although the change was extremely slight, not only Geng Xuan, but even Tie Lang next to him noticed the difference.

In Geng Xuan's eyes, the changes in the person in front of him were far more obvious than that.

The moment he asked that question, his inner emotions and the "ripples" around his body underwent a brief, almost straight-up-down change without any excessive fluctuation.

Geng Xuan continued to ask:

Have you had any direct contact with him recently?

This person also did not give any response, but Geng Xuan had already received a clear answer.

Then, Geng Xuan added:

"Let me guess, how long is 'sooner'? Before the New Year? On the first day of the Lunar New Year? Yesterday? Today? After midnight? Around 5 AM? ...Within an hour?!"

Having received an affirmative response, Geng Xuan nodded again and commented, "That's certainly close enough."

He continued, "Is he still inside 'Fish Scale Dock'?... Um, let me rephrase it, is he there?... He's not?"

"...He's not here." Geng Xuan said softly, as if he had received a response.

Under Iron Wolf's "enthusiastic" hospitality, the Dark Night Spy, who had remained silent until now, raised his head for the first time, and said in astonishment:
"What childish tricks are you playing?"

“I’m talking to you,” Geng Xuan said.

The other party sneered, "You think you can fool me with such a low-level trick?"

The other person's disdain was practically written all over their face.

What he didn't know was that as his mental activity became more and more active, or rather, more "sensitive," the answers he gave to Geng Xuan became clearer.

His actions not only did not increase the difficulty for Geng Xuan, but actually made his process of "tracking down the correct answer" easier.

After that, amidst the other party's mocking and disdainful expression, Geng Xuan posed a few more "multiple-choice questions".

Finally, without any attempt to hide it from the Dark Night Division spy, he said to Iron Wolf:
“About an hour ago, the Chief of the Dark Night passed by ‘Fish Scale Dock’ and had a brief encounter with him.”

Afterwards, they didn't stay at 'Fish Scale Dock' for long, but went to a place more than thirty miles to the southwest.

At this point, Geng Xuan paused and asked, "Do you know where that is?"

Iron Wolf said, "It is the headquarters of a large bandit gang called 'Poison Scorpion'."

Geng Xuan then asked, "In your opinion, how long will the Director of the Dark Night Division stay there?"

Iron Wolf thought for a moment and said:
"The business meeting won't last long, but since he's showing up at this time, a banquet is inevitable, and he won't be able to leave until at least noon."

Geng Xuan looked at Tie Lang and asked, "So what are your plans now?"

"I want to get as many people as possible before noon."

Then, take these people to eat the 'Poisonous Scorpion,' and finally return to devour the entire 'Fish Scale Dock.'

It's not that Iron Wolf doesn't want to devour the entire "Fish Scale Dock" in one bite first.

There were simply too many bandits gathered at "Fish Scale Dock" at the moment, and no matter how efficient they were, it would be impossible to finish wiping them all out before noon.

The only solution is to break down the "operation steps" a little further.

Geng Xuan gave only the simplest response to Tie Lang's thinking.

"go a head."

Iron Wolf bowed to him and immediately turned to leave.

The Dark Night Bureau spy, who had been dumbfounded and almost completely stunned ever since Geng Xuan revealed the information about the Dark Night Bureau Chief, finally panicked.

"Wait, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you say all of these things yourself?"

"Me? With my own words?" The Dark Night Detective's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died completely.

He even began to suspect that he had just been under some kind of strange spell, and had unknowingly revealed all the information he knew.

Just as this Night Elf spy was falling into despair, depression, and self-doubt.

Iron Wolf's operation against "Fish Scale Dock" is in full swing.

The specific actions were a replica of the "Baihetan Operation".

Due to differences in time, location, terrain, and other factors, Iron Wolf made adaptive minor adjustments to the more specific action strategies.

……

Before noon, several teams left "Fish Scale Dock" in different routes.

Although it wasn't entirely silent, it didn't attract any unusual attention either.

When these teams finally assembled outside "Fish Scale Dock," they had grown into a force of nearly nine hundred people.

The assembled team, without a moment's pause, sped southwest towards the location of "Scorpion" headquarters.

Just as they arrived at the "Scorpion" headquarters, about to launch an attack on this large group with a membership of around a thousand people.

Geng Xuan had already entered the "Scorpion" territory.

……

"Scorpion" headquarters.

In the Hall of Spirit.

Two figures were surrounded by a crowd of people, like stars around the moon.

A man with thin braids tied on top of his head, resembling the tails of scorpions, held a wine bowl and addressed another man beside him who appeared rather frail and thin, and looked to be in his fifties:
"Brother Yang, it's a great honor for you to come to my door at this time and remember that you have a friend like me."

Rest assured, I will handle the matter you entrusted to me properly and beautifully.

"Come on, let's finish this bowl!"

The man, whom he affectionately called "Brother Yang," was actually not enthusiastic about the banquet at all.

He even wanted to say bluntly, "Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? Who are you calling brothers?"

However, it is conceivable that after these bandits went south, although many would become "expendable resources," many would also gain unprecedented opportunities.

The man in front of me is not only quite strong, but also has a force of about a thousand men behind him who are brave and willing to fight.

The chances of taking off are far greater than those "consumables".

—Alright, let's just accept this "younger brother" for now.

With these thoughts in mind, the two men, under the watchful eyes of dozens of people in the hall, clinked their two wine bowls together and then gulped down the strong liquor in the bowls, which would be enough to burn the intestines and heart of an ordinary person.

When the two bowls were placed heavily on the table, not a drop of wine remained in them.

The man with the scorpion braid casually picked up a wine jar next to him and was about to fill the two bowls again.

But after only half of the first bowl was poured out, the wine jar was completely empty.

The man with the scorpion braid frowned, a look of displeasure flashing across his face, and said loudly:
"Where's the wine? Who's in charge of serving the wine today?"

Just then, following the gazes of the others in the hall, he looked toward the entrance and saw a familiar figure carrying a large wine jar stepping over the threshold and hurrying toward him.

Upon seeing this, the man with the scorpion braid immediately turned from anger to joy, casually tossing the empty wine jar aside, smashing it to pieces on the ground, and urging:

"Hurry up, what's wrong with you today? You didn't even prepare the wine in advance?"

The man who approached quickly while carrying the wine jar had only a slightly bitter look on his face and did not offer any explanation.

Just as he approached carrying the wine jar, and the man with the scorpion braid was about to reach for it...

The man quickly said, "Let me, let me pour you some wine, please calm down."

Upon hearing this, the man with the scorpion braid, who prided himself on "loyalty," laughed and withdrew his hand, jokingly scolding, "Then what are you dawdling for?"

Upon hearing this, the man who had already brought the wine jar behind him and "Brother Yang" immediately reached out and broke the seal on the mouth of the wine jar.

He held the rim of the jar with one hand and supported the bottom with the other, naturally pouring the wine into the bowl.

A stream of liquor poured into the bowl, producing a clear and pleasant sound.

The eyes of the man with the scorpion braid and "Brother Yang" were naturally drawn to the rapidly rising liquid in the bowl.

Just as they subconsciously thought the bowls were about to be filled with wine.

Caught off guard, both of them were severely shaken, both physically and mentally.

Then, after what seemed like a moment's respite, both of them simultaneously began gushing blood uncontrollably.

Just now, they both felt a chill run down their spines as a hand gently touched their backs.

Then, before they could make any further movements, a fierce force surged into their bodies through that palm.

Finished!

We were ambushed and attacked!
The two people, who realized what was happening at the same time, did not turn around to face the attacker.

Instead, he looked at the wine jar next to him, which seemed unchanged and was still pouring wine into the bowl with a "clattering" sound.

The wine jar, without any support, hovered steadily above the wine bowl, pouring the wine into the bowl at a uniform and steady pace.

Such precise manipulation makes it seem as if two hands are actually supporting the wine jar.

The two experienced individuals immediately understood what was going on.

Hey!
They were tricked by someone using a trick that was almost like a magic trick!

The attacker, right under their noses, exploited their psychological vulnerability and brazenly replaced their hands with those of the wine jar.

Just as they thought the man was still pouring wine, two large hands delivered what could be described as a fatal blow!
This technique is so simple that it can be exposed with just a glance.

The fact that the other party dared to pull this stunt in this kind of situation shows that their "skill" is secondary; their "boldness" is the most important thing.

Anyone with a slightly weaker mental fortitude wouldn't be able to play so freely and naturally.

All of these psychological processes occurred in the split second between the two discovering the truth.

At this moment, aside from their inner thoughts, they are unable to take any substantial action.

The immense force that had invaded his body was still surging wildly within him.

The second blow followed immediately.

The man with the scorpion braid felt his heart was no longer under control. Unable to mount any effective defense, he could only watch helplessly as his heart turned to dust.

Then, all the internal organs in the body also turned into a paste of flesh within the chest cavity, with each part of the other being intertwined with the other.

The man next to me, "Brother Yang," was in slightly better condition.

Although the attacker had the advantage of surprise, his skin and muscles spontaneously transformed into damage reduction and force dissipation the instant he was attacked, without any conscious effort from him.

This meant that the two consecutive surges of violent force injected into his body only caused his internal organs to churn and develop hidden dangers and cracks, but did not completely turn him into mincemeat.

Seeing this, Geng Xuan had no choice but to deliver a third blow, which finally made the opponent completely "obedient".

Without a doubt, the person who carried the wine jar into the house and simultaneously launched a sneak attack on the two strongest people in the hall was Geng Xuan.

"Having reached the second realm of perfection, it's no exaggeration to say that one's skin is thick and tough."

Geng Xuan, who had to subdue the man with three consecutive blows, inwardly complained.

He could certainly be faster.

Using the right index finger to unleash the "Jade-Refining Sky-Supporting Finger," a single finger strike can completely kill the opponent.

But for this target, he didn't want to kill him, he wanted to capture him alive.

Although, even with a slight reduction in output power, "Jade-Refined Sky-Supporting Finger" can still achieve the same result.

However, Geng Xuan did not want living people to experience the charm of this finger.

Only the dead are entitled to "enjoy" it.

Then I'll just have to trouble him to clap a few more times.

……

It's a long story, but from Geng Xuan's sudden attack to the two men spitting blood and collapsing on the banquet floor in full view of everyone, it all happened in a very short time.

As the others in the hall reacted and panicked, trying to take various countermeasures, Geng Xuan suddenly opened his mouth.

"stop--"

The power of the Grandmaster's Roar of Intimidation, along with his "one-word mantra," surged outwards like a shockwave.

Anyone struck by this invisible shockwave will at least be frozen in place, their strength dissipating.

In severe cases, the patient may collapse to the ground, with traces of blood seeping from their eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

Just as Geng Xuan was taking down the core members of the "Poisonous Scorpion" gang, Tie Lang, leading nearly nine hundred newly recruited henchmen, launched a full-scale attack.

In an instant, the battle had begun in full swing.

Without any foreplay, the intensity of the battle instantly reached a fever pitch.

In order to eliminate "Poison Scorpion" as soon as possible, and given that the Black Wind Gang was the attacker, their numerical disadvantage was too obvious.

Geng Xuan, operating in the shadows, consistently took sides and offered assistance to the best of his ability.

This sudden upheaval came quickly and went quickly.

Around 2 p.m., the battle at the "Scorpion" headquarters had completely ceased.

Aside from the occasional noise from battlefield cleanup and "routine persuasion," the "Scorpion" headquarters was eerily quiet. (End of Chapter)
