Ten Thousand Sword Masters

After getting off work and changing his clothes, Zhang Jianyun went straight to Jiaxing Restaurant.

"Master Zhang, you've arrived. Chief Wang is already waiting for you in the elegant private room." Upon seeing Zhang Jianyun's arrival, the waiter warmly led him to the elegant private room.

"Lord Zhang~"

When Wang Chaoyang saw Zhang Jianyun push open the door and enter the private room, he immediately stood up to greet him.

"Chief Tang is on his way, Lord Zhang, please rest for a moment," Wang Chaoyang said cheerfully.

While the two were in the private room, Tang Guanshan and Liu Fei arrived at the private room one after the other.

After everyone took their seats, Tang Guanshan opened the wine and stood up to fill the cups for Zhang Jianyun and Liu Fei.

Seeing Tang Guanshan's enthusiasm, Zhang Jianyun and Liu Fei exchanged a knowing glance, realizing that tonight's meal might be hard to digest.

"I was very happy to learn that you two gentlemen had obtained the Frost Blossom Fruit, and I have specially prepared this banquet for you. Come, let us all raise a glass to celebrate Lord Zhang and Lord Liu obtaining the Frost Blossom Fruit, which will increase their cultivation by thirty years, making them the best among martial artists," Tang Guanshan said, raising his glass.

After a meal and drinks, Tang Guanshan and Wang Chaoyang were extremely hospitable and humble.

After several rounds of drinks, everyone was a little drunk.

Snapped!

Just then, Tang Guanshan slapped his thigh and said indignantly, "The Green Fang Gang is really going too far!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jianyun knew that the real show was about to begin.

"Chief, today is a joyous occasion, let's not talk about these things." Wang Chaoyang grabbed Tang Guanshan's hand, as if to stop Tang Guanshan from continuing.

"There are no outsiders here, what can't be said?" Tang Guanshan said arrogantly.

"The leader is drunk, drunk," Wang Chaoyang said with a forced smile to Zhang and Liu.

Zhang and Liu remained silent, waiting for Tang Guanshan to continue.

"The Green Fang Gang, relying on their large numbers and the fact that Zhou Wei and Peng Zhong are on their side in Cangxi Pavilion, keeps encroaching on Phoenix Street, which is controlled by my White Tiger Gang, and has taken away several of my shops," Tang Guanshan said with great dissatisfaction.

"I used to give them some leeway because Cangxi Pavilion's voice was a bit weak when they spoke up for me, but things are different now. You two have both consumed the Frost Blossom Fruit, and your strength far surpasses Zhou Wei and Peng Zhong," Tang Guanshan said drunkenly.

"Chief Tang, Zhou Wei also consumed a Frostflower Fruit," Zhang Jianyun reminded him.

"I know, only Zhou Wei ate the Frost Blossom Fruit, but you two ate it. Together you are more powerful than Zhou Wei and Peng Zhong," Tang Guanshan said, taking another sip of wine.

Upon hearing this, Zhang and Liu exchanged a glance, knowing that Tang Guanshan was about to get down to business.

Sure enough, Tang Guanshan suddenly became serious, no longer appearing drunk.

"To be honest, gentlemen, I'm planning to drive the Green Fang Gang out of Phoenix Street, and I need your help," Tang Guanshan said sincerely.

"What does the leader need us to do?" Zhang Jianyun asked cautiously.

"I plan to take action against the Green Fang Gang tomorrow night and drive their forces out of Phoenix Street. I hope that you two gentlemen can support me then," Tang Guanshan said solemnly.

Zhang Jianyun pondered for a moment, looked at Liu Fei, and said, "No problem."

Upon seeing Zhang Jianyun's statement, Tang Guanshan and Wang Chaoyang were both delighted and raised their glasses simultaneously: "Thank you both."

It was late at night when Zhang Jianyun returned home from Jiaxing Restaurant. Although he was a little drunk, he still forced himself to read the Zhou Tian Xin Fa (a mental cultivation method) for a while before falling asleep.

The next day, as soon as they got off work, Zhang Jianyun and Liu Fei went home to change into civilian clothes and headed to the White Tiger Gang's headquarters.

Upon arriving at the White Tiger Gang's headquarters, Vice Gang Leader Wang Chaoyang warmly led Zhang Jianyun to the council hall.

Not long after, Liu Fei also arrived at the council hall.

"Everyone, we'll move out at 8 PM sharp tonight," Tang Guanshan said to the assembled leaders.

"Yes, ma'am."

Afterwards, Tang Guanshan briefly explained the situation to Zhang Jianyun and Liu Fei: the Qingya Gang had seized a total of 6 shops on Phoenix Street, with about 3 to 6 people in each shop.

"My only concern is whether the Green Fang Gang will send people to protect these six shops after they learn about our operation."

"If they are foolish enough to send people to protect the shop, there will inevitably be a fierce battle tonight," Tang Guanshan said coldly.

Despite the impending battle, there was still some time before 8 o'clock, so no one ate. Tang Guanshan arranged for someone to prepare food and deliver it to the council hall.

"Everyone, eat something first to fill your stomachs. We'll celebrate with drinks after we successfully take back the six shops," Tang Guanshan said, urging everyone to eat.

The meal laid out in front of Zhang Jianyun and Liu Fei included roasted lamb leg, boiled lamb tripe, beef jerky, and some snacks.

Liu Fei grabbed a roasted lamb leg and started eating. "Not bad, Jianyun, you should try some."

Seeing Liu Fei start eating heartily, Zhang Jianyun also picked up a leg of lamb and began to eat.

The taste was pretty good; it must have been roasted from a freshly slaughtered lamb.

Although there was no alcohol, the atmosphere was extremely lively, with leaders frequently coming over to greet Zhang Jianyun and Liu Fei.

After eating and drinking, it was 8 o'clock.

"Wang Chaoyang, we can move out now," Tang Guanshan ordered.

Immediately, Wang Chaoyang and the two leaders stood up, bowed to Tang Guanshan to accept the order, and walked out of the council hall.

As soon as Wang Chaoyang and the others left, the remaining people in the room stopped eating, and the atmosphere became tense as they awaited the outcome for Wang Chaoyang and the others, preparing for a fierce battle.

Time passed slowly, and the somber atmosphere in the council chamber grew heavier, making it feel suffocating.

At this moment, Zhang Jianyun deeply realized that when collective interests are harmed, these ordinary people will solemnly unite and defend their interests with their blood.

After Wang Chaoyang and the others left, Tang Guanshan remained silent with his eyes closed, as if he were resting in his seat.

But Zhang Jianyun knew that Tang Guanshan was definitely plotting murder.

Before long, a member of the White Tiger Gang hurriedly entered the council hall and walked straight toward Tang Guanshan.

Swish!

Tang Guanshan opened his eyes wide and looked at the newcomer with piercing eyes.

"Reporting to the Chief, Chief Wang and his men have successfully recaptured the six shops without encountering any resistance. All six shops are empty; there is no one inside and nothing at all. Chief Wang is currently arranging for people to take over these six shops, ensuring they will be open for business by tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing the report from his gang members, Tang Guanshan's lips curled up slightly, and then he burst into laughter.

"The Green Fang Gang is smart enough to avoid a bloodbath today," Tang Guanshan said with a loud laugh.

"Congratulations to the gang leader on successfully reclaiming the six shops on Phoenix Street."

"Congratulations to the gang leader on successfully reclaiming the six shops on Phoenix Street."

The helmsmen present all stood up to congratulate Tang Guanshan, each one of them looking excited and extremely happy.

Zhang Jianyun and Liu Fei exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat powerless. They had thought there would be a bloody battle tonight, but things were resolved so easily, and neither of them had played a role.

"Bring out the wine and food! Tonight, everyone drink to your heart's content, no one leaves until they're drunk!" Tang Guanshan said heartily, waving his hand.
