The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

Li Kaixin stood up and first put the corpses of Master Feng and the others, as well as the bloodstains on the ground, into the secret realm space.

They then searched their bodies and found only a few pistols and a few dozen dollars.

Li Kaixin sneered inwardly; these people really had no intention of making a deal.

Then, turning his gaze to the scattered chickens, ducks, and rabbits, as well as the few carts, he sighed softly and put them all back into the secret realm space before turning and walking towards the black market.

Upon arriving at the entrance to the black market, Erzhu and Ergou saw the person who had led their boss to the transaction return alone. They assumed the deal was done and hurriedly greeted him with smiles.

Before he could even speak, Li Kaixin had already raised his pistol and coldly pointed it at the two men.

Their smiles froze instantly on their faces.

Without wasting a single word, Li Kaixin said directly, "Take me to your boss's yard."

"Okay, okay! Please...please don't shoot!" Er Gou trembled with fear and quickly agreed.

Li Kaixin then put away his gun and followed, with Erzhu and Ergou leading the way, heading towards Master Feng's courtyard in the black market.

However, the two walked very slowly, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Upon reaching the courtyard gate, Er Gou turned around and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace:

"Brother Zhou, this...this is it. Can...can you let us go?"

"Let's go." Li Kaixin didn't make things difficult for them and waved his hand.

Er Gou felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He grabbed Er Zhu's clothes and scrambled out of the yard, afraid that if he was a step too slow, he would lose his life.

What the two of them didn't realize was that shortly after they ran out, three people came to the outside of the courtyard and started watching the situation inside.

After running a long way out of the black market, Er Gou patted his chest and panted, "Brother Zhu, from now on... we need to find another way to make a living."

"Why, Er Gou?" Er Zhu hadn't fully come to his senses yet.

Er Gou leaned close to his ear and whispered:

"I recognize the gun that the guy surnamed Zhou is holding; it's exactly the same as the one our boss always carries on his hip. Our boss and his men are probably..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a vague gesture in front of his neck.

After hearing this, Erzhu broke out in a cold sweat.

Little did he know that besides the eldest brother, five or six other brothers had gone with him!

In the courtyard, Er Gou and Er Zhu had only run out a short while when Li Kaixin had already stepped over the threshold and entered the room directly opposite the courtyard gate.

He took out a match and lit the half-burnt candle on the table.

He walked straight to the spot that Master Feng had mentioned, and with one hand, he lifted up the floorboards.

An entrance appeared before them, and without hesitation, Li Kaixin carried the candle and went down.

The underground space is quite large, with a long tunnel stretching out into the distance, seemingly without end.

Neatly stacked on both sides were bags of dried fish, one bag next to the other, weighing at least 10,000 jin.

Li Kaixin didn't stop walking; he continued walking in while collecting items into the secret realm space.

Upon reaching the end of the passageway, the space suddenly opened up to reveal a large circular cellar.

Li Kaixin glanced up and gasped.

Countless weapons and ammunition were piled up in the middle, and several brand-new bicycles, none of which had license plates, were parked next to them.

Dozens of burlap sacks were piled up against the walls on all four sides, along with some other miscellaneous items, almost filling the entire space.

Li Kaixin stepped forward, ignored everything, and directly put everything into the secret realm space.

In a short while, the place became deserted.

After leaving the cellar, Li Kaixin went to another room in the courtyard.

This room is a study, with many books piled on the bookshelves.

Li Kaixin wasn't interested in any of that and went straight to the other spot that Master Feng had mentioned.

Moving the books off the shelf revealed a dark brown wooden box.

Li Kaixin took the box down from the shelf and opened the lid.

Under the candlelight, the small yellow fish inside shimmered, making his heart pound.

This is the first time I've ever seen so much gold.

Besides gold bars, the box also contained stacks of banknotes, all ten-yuan notes, tightly bound together.

Without much delay, they put the box and all into the secret realm space.

Then, Li Kaixin held the candle and walked to the window, bringing the flame close to the curtain.

The curtain burst into flames with a "whoosh" and quickly shot up to the roof beams.

After finishing all this, Li Kaixin left the courtyard without looking back, his figure disappearing into the night outside the black market, and walked quickly towards the direction of the transport team's dormitory.

Not long after Li Kaixin left, several underlings working on the outskirts of the black market saw flames rising from their boss's courtyard.

Without a second thought, the group dropped what they were doing and ran over.

When they arrived at the courtyard, they saw that the houses had been engulfed in flames, with flames and thick smoke shooting into the night sky, but there was no sign of Master Feng or the other core brothers.

The group of henchmen looked at each other, stunned.

As I was lost in thought, I suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps outside the courtyard gate.

"Don't move! Cover your head and squat down!"

A group of police officers filed in, their guns pointed at the people inside the courtyard.

The henchmen, who were still stunned, were startled awake by this scene and quickly did as they were told, squatting down on the ground trembling.

A stern-looking middle-aged man stepped out from the police force, his gaze sweeping over the crouching crowd, and demanded in a stern voice:

"Who's in charge here?"

The underlings looked at each other, and finally one of them, the bolder one, raised his head and said in a trembling voice:

"Sir... the yard was on fire when we arrived, and we didn't... we didn't see the boss."

The middle-aged policeman frowned immediately, and for a moment all that could be heard was the sound of the house burning.

At this moment, a young policeman quickly stepped forward and whispered in his ear:

"Captain, when I was keeping watch just now, I saw someone leave this yard, and not long after, this place caught fire."

"I've already sent two comrades to follow them; maybe they know where the boss is."

After listening, the middle-aged policeman's brow relaxed, and he patted the younger policeman on the shoulder:

"Xiao Lin, you did a great job. After the operation is over, I will personally recommend you for commendation by the station chief."

"Thank you, Captain!" The young policeman straightened his back, his spirits lifted.

......

Not far from the black market, walking in a dimly lit alley, Li Kaixin sensed someone following him.

Without much thought, he flashed around the next corner and silently disappeared into the secret realm.

Sure enough, a few moments later, two plainclothes police officers quickly arrived at the location where Li Kaixin had just disappeared.

"Where is everyone?" The taller one frowned, looking around.

Another police officer said with a hint of complaint, "I said we should have arrested him right away. Now we've lost track of him!"

"There are so many people in the black market, what if that person is carrying a gun? Use your brain!" the tall policeman retorted in a low voice.

"What good people can be found in the black market? Why bother with them?"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and search ahead!" The tall policeman interrupted his companion, and then chased after them into the depths of the alley.

Seeing this, the other person had no choice but to shut up and follow.
