Starting with Xingyi Quan, it swept across the chaotic world.

The night, devoid of stars and moonlight, was as thick as ink hanging upside down in the sky, pitch black and viscous, yet it just wouldn't fall.

Whether it's because the world is getting more and more chaotic, or because of the merging of two factions, every night, emaciated beggars emerge from the dark alleys, rummaging through the garbage heaps on both sides of the street, hoping to find even a half-rotten vegetable leaf.

Lu Li, who was lying in wait in one of the dark alleys, saw this scene, but he just lowered his eyes and did not react much.

He has been waiting here for three days.

Three days ago, he happened to see members who looked like gang members watching his steamed bun shop. In the past few days, they have been coming to scout out every night, as if they were plotting something.

What's meant to happen will happen eventually.

He was still a suspect in Zhou Quan's death, and the Wild Wolf Gang's surveillance always made him feel like he had a thorn in his side, never knowing when that mad dog would come at him.

It's better to kill than to be killed!

Soon, Lu Li was greeted by the people who had been monitoring his shop for the past few days.

Lu Li watched him from afar without saying a word. The other man waited for a while until the candles in the room were blown out before leaving.

Upon seeing this, Lu Li immediately followed.

After breaking through to the Ming Jin level, he became much more proficient in controlling his body. Even if he was jogging, people far away might not be able to hear his voice.

"Quite alert."

Lu Li noticed that the person in front of him would turn around and look back every now and then, and once he almost lost him when they passed an intersection.

Lu Li followed him through a maze of twists and turns, and just as they were about to leave Ping An Fang, the man suddenly made a sharp turn and led Lu Li back to Ping An Fang.

"No wonder the Tiger Gang has been offering Zhou Yue an ever-increasing bounty these past few days; they've been playing a trick on him."

Lu Li sighed and watched the man walk into the courtyard.

After a moment's thought, Lu Li abandoned the idea of ​​breaking down the door.

After all, the news that Zhou Yue, the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang, was seriously injured was just hearsay.

Any rumor is susceptible to being spread, misrepresented, or distorted.

What if it's fake?

Others might just use their words, but I could risk my life!

Then, he took a deep breath, leaped onto the courtyard wall, and climbed up to the roof. Although there was a slight noise, it was just covered by the sound of conversation inside the house.

"The gang leader is a brilliant strategist; he merely sent out two decoys. Zhang Tieyi and his gang actually thought we went to Anlefang!" a fawning voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, Lu Li held his breath and carefully lifted a corner of the tile.

"Not this one."

The room was pitch black; you couldn't see anything, only smell a faint medicinal odor.

Immediately, Lu Li lifted a corner of the other tile.

What came into view was a thug with pockmarked face fawning over the burly man in black.

The burly man in black was Zhou Yue, the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang.

"Zhang Tie, you little brat, is brave but reckless!"

Zhou Yue snorted coldly, his expression calm and collected, as if he were strategizing with complete confidence:

"In a few days, once Zhang Tie has sent even more men to Anlefang, we'll launch a surprise attack!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the remaining gang members in the room were all shocked.

"Really, boss!" one of them asked in surprise.

They've been holding back for far too long, suffering humiliation for far too long!

He used to go out and make money to play with women, but now he can only eat pickled vegetables and cornbread in this tiny room!

They just couldn't take it anymore!

"But brother, your injury..." someone asked at this moment.

"hurt?"

Zhou Yue sneered, then stood up and stretched his limbs, even using his strength to smash one of the wooden stools to pieces.

Such power is no less than it used to be!

He doesn't look seriously injured at all.

"How do you see my injury?" Zhou Yue asked the younger brother who had just raised the question.

At this moment, the thug with a pockmarked face spoke again in a fawning tone:

"Judging from the boss's condition, even calling it a superficial injury would be an overestimation of that madman from the Fierce Tiger Gang!"

Zhou Yue nodded in satisfaction, his expression turning ruthless, and then said:

"My elder brother set off from the prefectural city a month ago, and he should arrive in Lin'an in a few days. Doesn't Zhang Tie like to find helpers? I'd like to see how many moves those good-for-nothings can withstand from my elder brother!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the doubts of the gang members were completely dispelled, and their expressions became excited.

The gang leader only suffered minor injuries, and Brother Zhou Tai is coming back too!

The Wild Wolf Gang is thriving!

They seemed to see the era of making money and playing around with women returning!

"How's the surveillance going on that family?" Zhou Yue asked the man who had just entered the house.

"There's no mistake, that family's nephew works in the city defense department and is a master of Ming Jin (a martial arts technique). He happened to be home when the incident occurred!" the man reported.

Hearing this, Zhou Yue coldly crushed the teacup, causing tea to splash everywhere.

"Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free! They killed my third brother, and their entire family must pay with their lives!" After Zhou Yue finished speaking, he looked at one of the men and said, "Young Hou, you are also a Ming Jin martial artist. Tomorrow night, you will go and deal with their family."

One of the men, tall and thin like a monkey, stood up, looking puzzled.

"Boss, that person is Qin Yan's disciple and works in the city defense department."

He didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was clear.

Given the current state of the gang, why risk exposure to deal with that one family?

Zhou Yue simply spoke:

"We must avenge our third brother. As for Qin Yan? The Fierce Tiger Gang is currently occupying Ping An Fang. We can use some tricks to frame him."

The tall, thin man, though still feeling something was amiss, ultimately did not refute it, assuming it was simply his boss's eagerness for revenge.

"Your subordinate obeys!"

Seeing this, Zhou Yue nodded to himself.

Although his face still showed the same irreconcilable rage as before, his eyes were flashing with an eerie light.

On the rooftop, Lu Li frowned, feeling a chill run down his spine.

His desire to retire had reached an extreme.

Actually, he wanted to leave as soon as he heard that Zhou Yue had only suffered superficial injuries.

However, when he heard that there were also experts in internal strength, he wanted to run away.

"I have to move right away!" Alarm bells were ringing in Lu Li's mind; all he wanted was to get home as quickly as possible.

Lu Li was very glad that he was cautious. If he had followed that person and broken into the room, not to mention the two Ming Jin inside, even this group of knife-wielding thugs would have given him a headache.

Lu Li took a deep breath, preparing to run away, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the corner of the tile that had just been lifted.

At this moment, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted to Lu Li's nose.

"wrong."

Lu Li paused in his steps.

I could smell the medicine even from the rooftop. If it were just a superficial wound, would I need so much wound medicine?

Furthermore, the other party used a tactic of hiding the truth from the light...

That "Big Brother" guy is probably fake too.

Lu Li then reattached it to the side of the tile.

After explaining some things, the core members of the Wild Wolf Gang left, leaving only Zhou Yue in the room.

Just then, Zhou Yue's expression changed, and blood suddenly spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Damn it..."

"That damn Zhang Tie, he'll stop at nothing to get rid of me..."

Zhou Yue wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and then took out a pill and put it in his mouth.

His eyes were filled with rage.

Zhang Tie somehow found several martial arts school disciples to help him.

This has led to the Wild Wolf Gang being almost completely destroyed by the Fierce Tiger Gang. The entire gang is in a state of panic, and coupled with his own serious injury, this already vulnerable little boat is even more precarious.

If I don't pretend nothing's wrong and don't mention Brother Zhou Tai, I'm afraid many people around me will immediately turn against me and cut off his head to meet their new master!

Zhou Yue was applying medicine to himself, completely unaware that there was a pair of eyes watching him from above.

"Old fox, you're not content with just finding fault with your own people, you have to keep bluffing, don't you?"

Lu Li sneered from the rooftop, realizing he had almost become the fool Zhou Yue had described!

Fortunately, I have strong strategic capabilities.

Lu Li pondered a solution before disappearing into the night.
