Martial Saint: Starting with Accumulating Experience

Chapter 127 Transfer of Power

As the group left the council chamber, they whispered amongst themselves.

"Finally, there's someone who can keep Lu Kui in check. I've had enough of this one-man show, where I get ridiculed for every word I say."

"Hopefully Chen Lang will be more agreeable."

"He dealt with spies and killed Xie Xuan, so he definitely can't be like Lu Kui, who takes resources, occupies positions, and doesn't get anything done."

.

Shh, keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear.

Every now and then, everyone would glance at Lu Kui, who was not far away. Seeing his ashen face, they would lower their voices even further.

At this moment, Chen Feng was called away by Wang Lan for a private talk. The two left the council hall and entered the study reserved for the head of the council.

Because of his conflict with Lu Kui, Chen Feng hadn't been here much.

The room is elegantly and simply furnished, with a large pear wood desk in the center, a paperweight on the desk, and a light inkstone on the inkstone.

Two wooden screens stood on either side of the desk, and the four walls were lined with tall bookshelves, stacked with notebooks, much like the study in the West District.

It's just that it hasn't been cleaned for a long time, and now it's covered with a thin layer of dust.

The two sat down, and Wang Lan lightly guided his true energy with his fingertips, instantly clearing away all the dust around them.

It is evident that he has profound attainments in the Canglang Manual, and his control over true qi is so exquisite that he can control it at will.

"When did you break through?" Zhu Lan asked. "When I first met you, you had only recently entered the Qi Condensation Realm, right?"

Chen Feng nodded. He had a deep impression of Wang Lan when they first met, as the latter was swimming at the estuary. He said, "You just broke through to the Opening Realm before coming to Flying Fish Ferry."

"We can kill Xie Xuan in less than half a month." Wang Lan calculated the time and said with a slight surprise.

"Just lucky." Chen Feng waved his hand.

"No, you're different." Wang Lan paused slightly before continuing, "I've heard your name a long time ago. Oh right, should I call you Chen Lang, or... Chen Feng?"

Chen Feng's pupils contracted.

"Did the gang leader investigate me?"

"No, it was just too coincidental. The Cao Gang had just posted a kill order when a young Qi Condensation Realm cultivator appeared in my Canglang Gang's territory, and coincidentally, he also had the surname Chen. It's hard not to make connections." Wang Lan shook his head.

Chen Feng:

'

'

It turned out that it was exposed from the beginning, which was a bit embarrassing, but it didn't really matter.

He initially disguised his identity to avoid the Canal Gang, but now he has even killed one of the gang's leaders. Perhaps the Canal Gang would rather kill Chen Lang than Chen Feng.

The reason behind this is that they want to hide their strength, fearing that their success will attract unwanted attention and that their rapid cultivation might make them a target.

It would be too astonishing for word to spread that someone could go from an ordinary person to a fully enlightened martial arts master after only half a year of martial arts training.

Wang Lan continued, "That's why I let you join the Canglang Gang. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I just didn't expect you to choose to honestly take the test and join us."

It was clearly you who didn't give me a letter of recommendation.

Chen Feng thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."

"I'm saying all this just to emphasize one thing: we have a common enemy, and we share the same stance when facing the Canal Gang."

Wang Lan smiled.

"My purpose in founding the Canglang Gang has always been the same: to destroy the Cao Gang. As long as you help me deal with the Cao Gang, I can give you anything: pills, cultivation techniques, and silver."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Lan gently placed several porcelain bottles on the table with a "snap": "These are all Qi Opening Pills, and now they are all yours."

Chen Feng glanced at the porcelain vase on the table and asked, "What are the conditions?"

The Qi-Opening Pill isn't cheap, so the fact that they're taking out so many at once means they must have something to ask of them.

"How about you end your feud with Lu Kui here?" Wang Lan replied.

"Lu Kui and I simply disagree on principles, there's no real grudge between us. Now that he's been dismissed and can no longer command me, I naturally won't continue to entangle myself with him. You're overthinking it, Chief." Chen Feng said.

"That's good. Consider these pills my investment in you. The stronger you are, the more power we will have to fight against the Canal Gang."

I will also record your contribution in killing the leader of the Canal Gang. If you need anything in exchange, just tell me.

"Understood," Chen Feng replied.

"There's one more thing. I plan to start a crackdown on the various branches of the Canal Gang in Feiyu Ferry in a few days. This time, we'll completely take over this territory. Make some preparations. You and Lu Kui will be the main force then," Wang Lan said.

Chen Feng nodded. He had expected this; the fact that the gang leader was personally involved meant there was definitely something big going on.

As for why he waited a few days, Chen Feng guessed that he was going to bribe some government officials to prevent them from interfering in the feud between the two factions and affecting the plan.

The two stood up and walked outside.

After leaving the study, Wang Lan went to talk to Lu Kui, while Chen Feng returned to the entrance of the council hall, where Ge Shan had been waiting for a while.

"Boss, I heard from others that Lu Kui has been dismissed from his position as the head of the Battle Hall. So who's in charge now?"

"Since the gang leader is here, we'll naturally listen to him. Otherwise, we'll listen to me. I'll arrange manpower for the other branches right away, so you don't need to rush." ​​Chen Feng saw through Ge Shan's thoughts at a glance.

"Yes." Ge Shan smiled broadly.

After Lu Kui was dismissed, the War Hall's personnel were divided into small teams and assigned to the various hall masters to replenish manpower and ensure that the hall masters would not be without personnel.

Aside from relinquishing power and manpower, Lu Kui did not receive any actual punishment, which was within Chen Feng's expectations.

There was no other way; the Canglang Gang was desperately short of manpower. If they wanted to go against the Cao Gang, every Qi Opening Realm fighter was extremely valuable. That's why Wang Lan had a special conversation with him, advising him to let go of his grudges with Lu Kui.

Chen Feng's current position is similar to that of Lu Kui before, slightly higher than the head of the main hall. Therefore, he directly used his power to restore Ge Shan's position as deputy head of the main hall.

"Summon Feng Yi over here," Chen Feng instructed.

Feng Yi was originally Lu Kui's deputy and had often spoken sarcastically to Chen Feng. Now, he was assigned to work under Wang Lan, which was quite a twist of fate.

Soon, Feng Yi was led to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng looked at Feng Yi, who was bowing and whose expression was uncertain, and pondered what he should ask him to do.

Finally, with a wave of his hand, he was exiled to the frontier.

Let him go with the other brothers to guard the outlying branches. One deputy, Ge Shan, is enough. This will prevent Feng Yi from being outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant towards him because of Lu Kui.

Despite his reluctance, Feng Yi had no choice but to obey orders.

Afterwards, Chen Feng gave some orders to the others and made all the necessary arrangements before leaving the hall and returning to his courtyard to cultivate in peace. Now he only needed to patiently wait for news of the gang leader's actions.

Because of Lu Kui's decision not to resist, the gang members had been holding back for a long time, and their emotions toward the canal gang had been pent up in their hearts, just waiting for an outlet.

It all depends on how Wang Lan handles it.

Inside a branch of the Canal Gang in Yulan Town.

Yan Lie looked at the report submitted by his subordinate with a solemn expression, a trace of melancholy flashing in his eyes.

He then discovered that the Canglang Gang had begun to shrink its territory and withdraw many of its personnel, preparing to take action, and then this incident occurred.

The situation at Feiyu Ferry suddenly became complicated, making it difficult for him to determine whether the Canglang Gang's withdrawal was a trap.

"Yan Lie, what's making you sigh like that? I heard you from outside the door." A man with a deep voice pushed open the door and walked in.

Yan Lie said in a deep voice, "Xie Xuan is dead."

The man's face froze instantly.
