The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

The night was dark, and the autumn wind was bleak.

In an abandoned building in a poor neighborhood, nearly twenty gangs, led by the Tiger Head Gang, the Lion Roar Gang, and the Wolf Howl Gang, held their ground in this five-story unfinished building, putting up a final resistance against the rapidly rising local bandits.

Under the cover of night, more than three thousand unofficial bandits wearing hoods with the characters "ten thousand," "ten strips," and "ten tubes" surrounded the unfinished building.

On the Tiger Head Gang's side, nearly twenty gangs combined couldn't even muster three hundred people.

It wasn't that they were few in number, but rather that many of their underlings had already surrendered at the mere sight of them.

The remaining group consists of the last diehards.

"You bandits down there! Listen up! We will never surrender to you or follow you! If you dare come any closer, we'll blow up this building. We'd rather die a glorious death than live a shameful life!"

Inside the unfinished building, the three hundred people elected a representative who took a large megaphone and shouted down to the crowd.

Song Feng, holding a spear, stood in the crowd and couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing these words.

"With such integrity, why is he still so determined to engage in gangster activities? What a contradiction in his life."

Huo Zi, who was guarding Song Feng, chuckled and said.

"They're not principled; they just don't want to give up their life of getting something for nothing. Bah!"

Lucky Guy came over from the side and said with a smile.

"Hey, Huozi, it seems like we used to get things for nothing."

Fire Bro gave him a flaming chestnut, which knocked Lucky Bro's forehead so hard that it swelled up.

"Nonsense! We're robbing the rich to help the poor!"

Si Tiao handed Song Feng a megaphone, which Song Feng took and used to shout at the unfinished building.

"Is the Tiger Head Gang leader here?"

At this point, both the official and unofficial bandits suspended their attacks, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate.

Upon hearing Song Feng's words, the more than three hundred people in the abandoned village all turned their gazes toward the leader of the Tiger Head Gang.

The gang leader paused for a moment, clenched his fist, and shouted.

"We will never surrender to the bandits!"

Silence reigned.

"Let me see what he wants from me first."

The leader of the Tiger Head Gang, holding a tattered piece of sheet metal as a shield, cautiously approached the window.

"Respected bandit leader Mr. Song, may I ask what business you have with me?"

The people behind Tiger Head Gang Leader looked at him with even stranger expressions.

The Tiger Head Gang Leader tried to smooth things over.

"As a person, you have to be polite."

No one said much.

Because everyone knows the truth.

At this point, it's not surprising that many die-hards have wavered and are looking for a way out.

Song Feng called out and asked.

"I'm looking for someone named Tao Ming. He should be a member of your Tiger Head Gang, but right now, all the gang members in Baiyun City should be here, but he's not here. Where did he go?"

Tiger Head Gang Leader's CPU was running at its highest frequency ever, trying to recall this man named Tao Ming.

Seeing that his head was starting to smoke, Song Feng reminded him.

"He's bald, so he must have some talent in cultivation."

A lightbulb went off on the Tiger Head Gang Leader's head.

"Oh—I remember now, it's that bald-headed Ming!"

Where did he go?

"I remember this kid had cultivated to the fifth level of the Acquired Realm in our gang and was clamoring to become the hall master. I didn't agree, so he switched sides."

The clones frowned; these words sounded vaguely familiar.

"Which gang did he switch to?"

"Lion's Roar Gang!"

"Give the megaphone to the Lion's Roar gang leader."

The leader of the Lion's Roar gang quickly stepped forward and took the megaphone.

"Your Excellency Chief Song, what are your orders?"

The die-hards in the unfinished building started looking at the Lion's Roar gang leader with strange eyes.

The Lion's Roar gang leader quickly explained to his men in a low voice.

"Be polite, be polite."

Song Feng asked again.

The leader of the Lion's Roar gang thought for a moment.

"I remember this person. He cultivated to the eighth level of the Acquired Realm under my guidance, and I made him the hall master. However, he slept with my third concubine, so I wanted to clean house. But he got wind of it beforehand and ran away."

"Aren't you in Baiyun City anymore?"

"He's still here. That kid doesn't have the money to take a bus to other cities. He's only at the eighth level of the Acquired Realm, and he doesn't have the ability to cross the wild areas where spirit beasts are active. He switched jobs and went to the Howling Wolf Gang."

"Give the megaphone to Wolf Howl Gang Leader."

The leader of the Wolf Howl gang was a woman with a rather voluptuous figure. Although she was surrounded and looked rather disheveled, she was still touching up her makeup.

Before the Lion's Roar gang leader could hand over the megaphone, the Wolf Howl gang leader swayed his slender waist and snatched it away.

"Hello, dear little brother Song Feng?"

Now, not only the members of the gang in the abandoned project were looking at it strangely, but the more than three thousand people below couldn't stand it anymore.

"No, sis?"

"If you're so afraid of our Song Feng leader, then don't put up a stubborn resistance."

"I really can't understand what these people are thinking."

"That's what they call not shedding tears until you see the coffin."

Song Feng, as always, inquired about Tao Ming's whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, the woman seemed not to understand human speech and gave irrelevant answers.

"Song Feng, you've unified the gangs in the poorest part of Baiyun City. Do you want to become the biggest boss here?"

"I don't want to be a gang leader. I'm just temporarily taking them under my wing so that I can clean up the rampant gang forces in the area and restore normal order to the poor neighborhood."

"But all poor areas in the world are like this, what's the point of restoring one?"

"Let's start here."

"Heh, then I'd like to ask you, afterwards, what will happen to the thousands of people you've brought under your control?"

"Each of you has hands and feet, and most of you are spiritual warriors, yet you can't even support yourselves. You might as well just jump into the pit to save air! First, answer my question: Where is Tao Ming?!"

"I have no idea."

The Wolf Howl gang leader stood on the third floor, his gaze sweeping down at the people below. His physique, outlined by his tight leather outfit, made many men present feel their blood boil.

But Song Feng could tell that this woman was provoking him.

"Tao Ming has moved between several gangs and his strength has been improving. He joined your gang in the last few years. He is a gang member with a high level of skill. You can't possibly not remember him."

"But I don't want to tell you."

"Don't try any tricks. I'll just blow this building up to the ground right now, and then we'll still find a way to track down Tao Ming!"

The leader of the Wolf Howl Gang laughed heartily.

"Hahaha! You're now one of the most prominent figures in the poorest areas of Baiyun City. It's not good to get so angry like this. Are you in a hurry?"

"What do you mean?"

"If you're not in a hurry, let's have a duel. If you beat me, I'll tell you where Tao Ming is, how about it?"

Huo Zi frowned slightly.

"Be careful, both new and old thieves, this guy's a bit strange."

Song Feng also realized that there was a trap involved.

In the entire poor area, apart from the former leader of the Axe Gang, Lu, there wasn't a single innate spiritual martial artist.

The leaders of other gangs may have reached the eighth or ninth level of the Acquired Realm.

However, compared to the Dao Body abilities of Si Tiao and Huo Zi Ge, the difference of two or three levels in the Acquired Realm is not decisive at all.

It's fair to say that with Huozi's fire control skills, he's a game-changer here, able to kill whoever he wants.

Why did the Wolf Howl gang leader propose a one-on-one fight?

Facing the provocation emanating from the Wolf Howl Gang Leader's flirtatious eyes, Song Feng smiled slightly.

"Blow up the building."
