Sword drawn from the constellations, poison as its edge.

Chapter 191 Don't underestimate the bond between us!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mingzhe's face turned ashen, and his clothes fluttered even without wind.

Kumārajīva and Deng Baichuan looked over at the same time, wondering why this kid was showing such a strong killing intent!
Murong Fu also noticed Jiang Mingzhe's imposing aura and was secretly pleased. He was convinced that it was because Jiang Mingzhe was loyal and righteous. He thought to himself: If I can befriend him, he can treat Duan Yu like this, so why can't he treat me like this?
For a moment, he wished he could build a bridal chamber on the spot and personally push Jiang Mingzhe and his cousin inside.

In truth, no one present could understand Jiang Mingzhe's true feelings at that moment.

In this world, he had no past and no future. Initially, facing the unpredictable dangers of the Starry Sky Sect, his heart was filled with turmoil and unease.

Later, as his martial arts skills improved, this sense of unease gradually disappeared, but a strong sense of confusion and weightlessness immediately followed.

He wanted to go home, but knew the chances were slim, so he could only immerse himself in the present moment and try to make himself content with whatever came his way.

It's a bit like the state of being when you're traveling in a foreign land—nobody knows you, nobody recognizes you, there are no shackles, no masks.

However, as a tourist experiencing "other time and space tourism," the intensity of his feelings far surpasses that of simply being in a different place.

Tourists in the mountains can't help but shout out loud, and Jiang Mingzhe, living in another world, often can't help but want to cause a ruckus.

This feeling of weightlessness on a spiritual level made him subconsciously seek out something to hold onto.

Therefore, he may not even realize it now, but the weight of loyalty and righteousness is far greater for him than it was before he transmigrated.

Perhaps this is not just about his mindset, but also has a great deal to do with the people he associates with.

After all, in the society before he transmigrated, men who would travel thousands of miles alone to keep a promise to a friend, and women who would risk their entire lives just to win half a day of a man's pleasure, were certainly rare, if not extinct.

The people he befriends now, such as Xiao Feng and Duan Yu, and A Zi and Mu Wanqing, with their sincere and deep affection for each other, naturally awaken the heroic spirit etched into Jiang Mingzhe's bones.

"The Azure Dragon Gang!"

Jiang Mingzhe softly uttered three words, looking at Deng Baichuan: "What's your background?"

Deng Baichuan said solemnly, “This gang is known as the largest gang in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Their sphere of influence extends from Jiangling Prefecture in the west to Suzhou and Tongzhou in the east. Passenger ships and cargo ships are mostly controlled by this gang. They also secretly engage in murder and robbery, but they are clean-cut, so the government does not dare to investigate. Their headquarters is in Runzhou.”

Jiang Mingzhe nodded slowly, recalling that when he came south with the Qingcheng Sect and passed through Jiangling Prefecture, the boatman seemed to have spent a considerable amount of money to buy a bronze token so that he could pass without hindrance. Now that he thought about it, it should be the Qinglong Society's pass.

He then asked, "How strong are you?"

Deng Baichuan said, “Their strength is quite considerable. More than thirty years ago, the master tried to subdue this gang but failed. Over the years, the gang has grown stronger. The Seven Dragons of the Yangtze River and the Four Swords of Runzhou that the monk from Pumen Temple mentioned before are all outstanding figures of this gang. Second brother has met with them before. Second brother, you tell us.”

Gongye Qian said, "The Azure Dragon Gang is divided into three inner halls and five outer halls. The five outer halls are stationed in Jiangling Prefecture, Ezhou, Jiangzhou, Chizhou, and Jiangning Prefecture. The three inner halls are stationed in Runzhou. The gang leader is 'Old Dragon King' Situ Hai, who is also the leader of the Seven Dragons of the Yangtze River. The leaders of the three inner halls are 'Iron Palm Swimming Dragon' Qiu Wanli, 'Iron Boat Across the River' An Tuozi, and 'Jade Face Divine Sword' Lü Hai."

"Among them, Qiu Wanli is the second of the Seven Dragons of the Yangtze River. An Tuozi was originally a famous one-legged bandit on the upper reaches of the Yellow River. It is said that he offended a powerful figure and fled to Jiangnan to join the Yangtze River Gang. Lü Hai is the leader of the Four Swords of Runzhou. His three brothers, Lü Jiang, Lü He, and Lü Hu, are all leaders under him." At this point, Gongye Qian sighed: "Five years ago, I met Qiu Wanli in Jiangyin. We had a disagreement and exchanged blows several times, but neither side could gain the upper hand. He saw that I was from the Murong family and did not dare to pursue the matter. I also did not want to make a powerful enemy for the Murong family for no reason, so we stopped fighting. But this man's martial arts skills should be no less than mine."

Gongye Qian was known as the "Second Best Palm Technique in Jiangnan." His martial arts skills were so high that even the leaders and elders of most sects could not match him. A hall master of the Azure Dragon Gang could fight him to a draw, which shows that his strength was indeed astonishing.

Jiang Mingzhe secretly calculated that the martial arts of the four retainers of the Murong family, Bao Sanfeng and Si, were a level weaker than Gongye Qian's, yet they were not at a disadvantage against the four elders of the Beggar Clan. Therefore, Gongye Qian's martial arts were at least comparable to the two elders of the Beggar Clan, the Transmission of Skills and the Enforcement of Law.

In comparison, the Azure Dragon Gang, in terms of high-end combat power, is comparable to the Beggars' Sect without Xiao Feng as its leader. No wonder even Murong Bo couldn't subdue it back then.

He looked up at the sky, which was dark and inky, and said calmly, "It seems that the Azure Dragon Gang is indeed quite powerful. It is no wonder that they can dominate the Yangtze River waterway."

Having said that, he looked at Murong Fu and laughed, "Jiangnan is the Murong family's stronghold. How can we allow others to sleep soundly beside our bed? Today, we might as well wipe them out!"

Murong Fu said happily, "Good, I have long intended to deal with him."

Kumārajīva laughed and said, "Isn't it a coincidence? Why did that hunchback An leave his hometown back then? It was because he robbed and killed a Tibetan nobleman and was chased by this monk. That time, he relied on his swimming skills to jump into the river and escape, and his whereabouts have been unknown ever since. Isn't it just a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road?"

After the three finished speaking, they asked Abi to lead the way.

The headquarters of the Green Dragon Gang is not located in the city, but ten miles east of the city, by the river. They have built a large mansion there, and also have their own private water port with dozens of ships of various sizes moored there.

When Jiang Mingzhe and his group arrived, they saw that the house was brightly lit inside and out, with many mule carts and horse carts parked at the gate, and gang members dressed in black carrying people off the carts.

Looking at those being carried, they were all crying out in pain, their faces and palms covered with blisters of various colors. Someone shouted urgently, "Where's the doctor? Why hasn't the doctor come yet?"

Seeing that the symptoms of those people were very familiar, Jiang Mingzhe couldn't help but laugh and said, "What a coincidence! It turns out that the people who ambushed us on the mountain road earlier were from the Green Dragon Gang!"

Then a familiar voice came from inside the door: "Oh dear, I know how to treat this poison. Go find some feces, mix it with urine to make a thin paste, give half to the patient and apply the other half externally. If they are not destined to die, then they will not die!"

The remedy mentioned was precisely what Azi had said when she used her miraculous skills to save Quan Guanqing in the apricot grove!

Abi exclaimed with delight, "It's Young Master Duan!"

Immediately, someone shouted angrily, "You little bastard, are you trying to make a fool of yourself by laughing at us? Men, men, give him a good beating!"

Abi's expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no! They're going to attack Young Master Duan!"

Before the words were finished, a white figure flashed and disappeared. The members of the Azure Dragon Gang in front of the gate screamed and flew out in all directions. A clear voice rang out like thunder: "Of the four heroes of the world, three have now been eliminated. From now on, the name of the Azure Dragon Gang will no longer exist in the martial world!"
