Gou Zai Wu Dao Chao Shi Xing Nian Da Gong

Chapter 69 Crocodile Gang, I've had my eye on you for a long time.

The alchemy room.

"Huh? What's this?"

While Zhou Futu was packing his things, he suddenly discovered a bottle of greenish liquid in a medicine drawer.

He thought about it carefully before he remembered that this was something he had found on Tian Wenchang, the vice leader of the Black Snake Gang. After returning home, he casually put it in the medicine cabinet, but then he was busy cultivating and forgot about it.

"At the time, besides the silver notes, Tian Wenchang only had this bottle on him, so it must have been a very precious treasure."

Zhou Futu thought for a moment, then poured out a little and tasted it.

This stuff tastes awful, with a fishy-sweet smell, like drinking raw blood.

The virtual interface then displayed a prompt.

"The host has consumed diluted blood of the immortal evil spirit. Effects: Comprehensive strengthening of the physical body, enhancement of blood and qi, slight increase in the chance of condensing blood and qi, slight enhancement of the soul, and slight increase in lifespan."

"The price: bloodlust and alienation, being marked by evil spirits, eroding the brain marrow, and gradually losing humanity."

"An exemption can be activated without incurring a cost, while retaining its effectiveness."

"What?"

Zhou Fugan was both surprised and delighted when he saw the notification.

He never imagined that this unassuming bottle of green liquid was actually some kind of longevity-enhancing evil spirit blood-deficient substance, and that it possessed such comprehensive and powerful effects.

Although the cost was enormous, it had no effect on him.

Moreover, this effect is only diluted; if it were the original blood of an evil spirit, how amazing the effect would be!

At this moment, Zhou Fu felt a tingling sensation inside his bones. Upon closer examination, he discovered that the blood of the evil spirit of immortality that he had drunk could directly affect his bone marrow, truly living up to its comprehensive enhancement function.

Zhou Futu's expression changed, and he took a sip directly.

Suddenly, I felt a cool sensation rising from my abdomen and permeating all parts of my body, causing an unbearable tingling sensation in my bone marrow.

He then took out the tonic he usually used for cultivation, ate it, and returned to the training room to cultivate.

After a long while, Zhou Fu stopped cultivating, his body covered in sweat, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

This time, his cultivation progress increased by more than thirty points, which was more than ten points higher than usual. These increases were all due to the blood of that immortal evil spirit.

It can directly temper the brain marrow, bringing about the most important improvement.

"I absolutely must get my hands on this."

Zhou Futu thought to himself. This blood of the Evil Spirit of Immortality was even more potent for him than the Five Spirit Flowers.

"Where did this thing come from?"

He pondered to himself.

Unfortunately, Tian Wenchang is already dead, so there's no way to get any information from him. However, even though Tian Wenchang is dead, there are still clues to be found about him.

Back then, after returning from the prefectural city, he specifically investigated the Black Snake Gang. He knew that Tian Wenchang, Wu Xiangwei, Zuo Hu, and the other two had risen from humble beginnings together, and their relationship was extraordinary. If there weren't enormous benefits involved, Tian Wenchang wouldn't have betrayed them.

This bottle of the Evil Spirit's Blood of Immortality is enough to sway Tian Wenchang. Even if it doesn't work, its side effects are more severe than the Flying Poppy Beast-Feeding Pill, and once Tian Wenchang takes it, he will inevitably be controlled by someone else.

Therefore, as long as the person behind Tian Wenchang is found, the origin of the blood of the immortal evil spirit can be found.

So the question is, who is behind Tian Wenchang?

Zhou Futu didn't have enough information to deduce who it was. But he only needed to focus on one direction.

The Black Snake Gang's downfall, ostensibly due to the robbery of the Wang family's cargo ship and subsequent annihilation by the Zhang family of the inner city, was undoubtedly orchestrated by the Black Snake Gang's enemies.

Who are the Black Snake Gang's enemies?

The first to bear the brunt is their arch-enemy, the Crocodile Gang!

"The Crocodile Gang!"

Zhou Futu remained expressionless, seemingly lost in thought.

This was also a gang that committed countless evils, exploiting the villagers, forcing women into prostitution, and committing atrocities such as loan sharking and family massacres—their crimes were no less heinous than those of the Black Snake Gang. He had actually disliked them for a long time.

After some thought, he disguised himself as an old tailor, carried a worn-out tailor's box, and quietly left home through the back door, heading towards the Crocodile Gang's territory.

He always gathers intelligence before taking any action; it's his habit.

The Crocodile Gang's headquarters.

Bright lights hung high, illuminating the entire hall.

Liu Zongzheng sat upright in the armchair, his eyes slightly narrowed, his face expressionless.

Standing before him was a tall, imposing young man with thick eyebrows and large eyes. The young man was dressed in the uniform of an Iron Fist Martial Arts School disciple, and his fists were covered in calluses, clearly indicating that he possessed considerable hand-to-hand combat skills.

This man was his only adopted son, Liu Fenghu.

He possesses average physical attributes and has mastered the skills of the Bone and Tendon Technique, making him a minor genius within the Iron Fist Martial Arts School.

Liu Zongzheng had no biological son, so he treated this adopted son as if he were his own, and often said in front of others that he would hand over his family business to Liu Fenghu in the future.

The members of the Crocodile Gang usually referred to Liu Fenghu as their young leader.

Liu Zongzheng asked calmly, "Son, be mindful of your behavior. That Master Wang came to our door again today, accusing you of raping his daughter. You've put your father in a very difficult position."

"Father, I will make sure that old bastard never comes back tomorrow," Liu Fenghu said viciously.

"Whatever you want. But the new magistrate is not easy to deal with. Be careful not to give anyone any leverage over you," Liu Zongzheng casually reminded him.

"Father, don't worry, I guarantee no one will be able to find us." Liu Fenghu revealed a sinister smile.

"Okay, that's good. Who are you?"

Liu Zongzheng nodded slightly, about to continue his advice, when he suddenly noticed a tall, masked man in black standing in the hall, holding a knife and glaring at him menacingly.

He broke out in a cold sweat, abruptly stood up, reached for his waist, and pulled out a long, barbed iron whip, staring cautiously at the man in black.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into my Crocodile Gang? You're asking for trouble!" Liu Fenghu also noticed the man in black, but he was used to being arrogant and immediately started shouting.

"So noisy!"

*Smack*

Suddenly, the man in black flashed and appeared in front of Liu Fenghu in an instant, slapping him across the face and sending him flying, crashing into a table and shattering it.

Only then did Liu Fenghu realize the fear. Despite the excruciating pain all over his body, he forced himself to suppress any screams.

"Who are you? What brings you here?" Liu Zongzheng asked, forcing himself to remain calm.

"Chief Liu, I've come here with one question. Who wants to destroy the Black Snake Gang? And who bribed Tian Wenchang to betray the Black Snake Gang?" the man in black suddenly asked. His voice was hoarse and strange, and it was impossible to tell if he was male, female, young, or old.

Liu Zongzheng's heart sank as he pondered the man's identity. "Could this person be a relative or friend of Wu Xiangwei? Has he come for revenge?"

Thinking of this, he said, "I've heard that the Zhang family wanted to discard us after we've served our purpose, so they deliberately staged this whole thing."

He thought he could get away with it by lying.

As for resistance, he dared not. The man in black appeared in the hall silently, without him noticing. Clearly, this person's cultivation far surpassed his own. At least a master of the Internal Organs Realm, or even a master of the Qi and Blood Realm.

"I see."

Liu Zongzheng was still feeling uneasy when, unexpectedly, the man in black suddenly nodded and said something.

He was overjoyed; he had passed this hurdle.

At that moment, he saw the man in black reach for a porcelain bottle, uncork it, and a sweet, fishy smell wafted out. The bottle was half-full of a greenish liquid. His eyes narrowed instantly.

The man in black suddenly asked, "Does Chief Liu recognize this item?"

Liu Zongzheng was about to shake his head in denial when Liu Fenghu suddenly spoke up, "Senior, I recognize him."
