Elderly Martial Saint: Sixty Times the Cultivation Speed ​​at the Start

The backyard of the Sky Patrol Office.

Yi Yang sat cross-legged on the futon, his breathing long and even.

His left shoulder is 80% healed; the bone has set and the tendons no longer hurt.

But people outside don't know these things, nor do they need to know.

The numbers on his panel were still jumping.

[Mind Monkey Guarding the Mind Technique - Still Image (Minor Success) 6260/26000]

The progress is not fast, but it is very steady.

After consuming the You Shui Lan, his daily cultivation progress accelerated, increasing by about 800 points per day, half again as fast as before. At this rate, he could reach the minor completion stage in about half a month.

Yi Yang could hear everything that was happening outside clearly.

His perception covered the entire Sky Patrol Bureau and a radius of three hundred feet around it.

He knew everything: the footsteps of the guards changing shifts, Xu Pei's sighs in the front yard, and even a stray cat jumping over the yard wall.

But he didn't go out.

Yi Yang didn't care about what had happened these past few days.

The Three Lakes Gang is dead, so be it. Whether the various factions divide the body or fight amongst themselves, it has nothing to do with them.

He's only doing one thing now—waiting.

After Yan Wuyuan received the letter, he rushed to White Fish City.

As the leader of the Youquan Division, and with her previous record of fighting two opponents at once, that woman's strength is definitely above mine.

With her in charge, she can easily deal with the various forces in White Fish City that are causing trouble.

Before that, Yi Yang didn't intend to waste his energy on these minor characters.

He feared that his intervention would attract the attention of the leader of the Nine Evil Sect.

Let them make a fuss first.

The more they make a scene, the more solid their charges will be when they are brought to justice.

Yi Yang closed his eyes and continued his cultivation.

……

Until Xu Pei knocked on the door and came in.

"grown ups."

Upon seeing that it was him, Yi Yang opened his eyes.

At this moment, Xu Pei stood at the door, his face grim. He hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Sir, our men were patrolling the south of the city yesterday when they were attacked."

"who."

"A member of the Green Snake Gang. A minor leader named Han San, at the fourth level of Qi and Blood. Zhao Liang's face was swollen from being slapped, and Sun Xu had a footprint on his back."

Upon hearing that the attackers were from the Green Snake Gang, Yi Yang showed no change in expression.

"Green Snake Gang." He repeated the three words to himself, tapping his fingers twice on his knee.

Xu Pei stood there waiting for his orders.

"Go there."

Finally, Yi Yang spoke, saying calmly, "Find their gang leader, Zhou Xiong, and tell him three things."

Upon hearing this, Xu Pei perked up his ears to listen.

"First, Han San, who hit the man, should dislocate his own arm and then kneel before the Sky Patrol Division to receive his punishment."

Second, compensate Zhao Liang and Sun Xu each with one hundred taels of silver for their medicine. Third…

Yi Yang paused for a moment.

"Tell Zhou Xiong that I don't mind wiping out another force within the city."

Hearing this, Xu Pei's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "As expected, the Three Lakes Gang was wiped out by the adults."

But he didn't show it on his face, and replied with a cupped hand, "Your subordinate will go right away."

……

That afternoon, Xu Pei led two guards to the Green Snake Gang's stronghold in the east of the city.

At this moment, Zhou Xiong was drinking in the courtyard.

He was in a good mood today. He had almost taken over the shops of the Sanhu Gang and occupied two berths at the dock. Although it was less than expected, he couldn't have more free stuff.

Moreover, the headquarters of the Sanhu Gang was almost completely taken over by their own people, so it can be said that they gained a lot.

Just then, hearing that the Sky Patrol officers had arrived, Zhou Xiong put down his wine bowl, shifted his position in his chair, and casually gave the orders:

"Let that man in. I want to see what they want from me."

After Xu Pei came in, he relayed Yi Yang's three conditions verbatim.

After hearing Xu Pei's words, the courtyard fell silent for a few moments.

The remaining Green Snake Gang leaders and deacons were filled with rage. They hadn't expected the Sky Patrol Division to dare to make such humiliating demands.

But Zhou Xiong, the gang leader, actually laughed.

His chubby face was bulging with a smile, his flesh piled up, and his eyes were narrowed into slits, revealing a sinister look.

"Director Yi is very thoughtful."

Zhou Xiong patted his stomach and laughed, "That kid Han San is ignorant. I apologize to the two guards on his behalf."

One hundred taels? Two hundred taels is fine too.

"As for him, let him go to the Observatory to apologize tomorrow."

"But the arm is out of the question."

Seeing that the other party agreed so easily, Xu Pei nodded with satisfaction, even though he was unwilling to dislocate his subordinate's arm.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Chief Zhou."

"Of course, of course."

Zhou Xiong stood up, waved his hand, and said boldly, "The Sky Patrol Division and our Green Snake Gang are one family. If you need anything in the future, just ask."

Xu Pei didn't linger and turned to leave.

As he walked out of the courtyard gate, he glanced back. Zhou Xiong was still standing there, smiling and waving at him.

Xu Pei felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

After the news reached the Sky Patrol Division, the guards' spirits noticeably improved.

They didn't expect the Green Snake Gang to back down, which shows that although Director Yi was injured, his words still carried weight.

……

But what Xu Pei didn't know was...

The smile on Zhou Xiong's face vanished the moment he left.

The fat man slammed the wine bowl down on the table, splashing wine across half of the surface.

"Hold."

"They dare to order me around and give orders? Does the Sky Patrol really think they're something special?"

He cursed and turned to give orders to a thin, long-faced man standing behind him.

"Find out where those two patrolmen from the Sky Patrol lived, and which street their wives and children lived on. Find out for me."

The thin-faced man paused for a moment.

"Boss, didn't you promise—"

"I promised not to attack the Sky Patrol Division."

Zhou Xiong pointed a fat finger and said ruthlessly, "Their family members aren't from the Sky Patrol Division."

He sat back in his chair, his large body sinking into the backrest, and continued:

"That half-dead old man, does he really think he can still control me? He's injured like that, let alone going out, he can barely get out of bed."

Zhou Xiong picked up the wine bowl, took a swig, and wiped his mouth.

"Be clean. First, take off the hands of their wives and children, and then dump them at the entrance of the Sky Patrol Office the next day."

Upon hearing his boss's words, the thin-faced man nodded in agreement and turned to leave.

……

One day later.

Zhao Liang's wife went to a cloth shop in the north of the city to buy goods. On her way back, she was stopped in an alley by three masked men.

Her two arms were severed by a sword, and the masked man left with a single sentence.

"Don't let your man meddle in other people's business."

the same day.

Sun Xu's 70-year-old mother was buying vegetables at the market when someone bumped into her from behind and knocked her down.

After the old woman fell to the ground, the person who bumped into her stomped on her head several times, killing her instantly.

That evening, Xu Pei, who was relaying the order, sat in the duty room for a long time after listening to the two grown men's tearful complaints. He simply couldn't believe that Zhou Xiong was so crazy.

After agreeing to my request to my face, he actually retaliated in such an explosive way.

He concluded solemnly, "I will report this to the Director; it was my fault."

"If the Director is unwilling to take action, I will accompany you to the Green Snake Gang to demand an explanation."

……

Nighttime, the Wei family home.

The flickering firelight cast intermittent light and shadow on the two faces inside the secret room.

Wei Zhao handed the newly delivered secret letter to the candlelight, and Ye Jin leaned closer. Their eyes simultaneously swept over the few lines of text—

"The operation has been detected. The Killer Gang will arrive in White Fish City in one day. You will cooperate with them to collect the blood essence."

After reading it, the letter curled up and charred under the licking of the flames, eventually turning into ashes.

Wei Zhao raised his head, his lips slowly twitching into a greedy smile: "Sect Leader Ye, it seems we no longer need to hide anything."

Ye Jin toyed with the blood-stained jade pendant at her waist, her voice trembling slightly: "Yes, the time for a showdown has finally come."

Wei Zhao walked to the window with his hands behind his back, gazing at the silent streets in the distance. As if he could already see the scene of blood flowing like rivers in this place, he said, "White Fish City... should also belong to the Wei family."

I don't care what your last name is.

Ye Jin chuckled softly, a sinister and ruthless glint in his eyes: "I only know that with the blood essence from this operation, the threshold of the True Qi Realm might not be able to stop me."

"And the assassins are here. That old bastard who ruined my plans is definitely going to die this time."
