At that moment, he had already sacrificed a part of his emotions.

That is the acceptance of the mundane world, the feeling of having once revered something, and... the compassion for fellow human beings.

Kou Zhong tore off his tattered shirt, revealing his bronze-like muscles... He grabbed the blood-stained flag next to him and used it as a cloak, draping it over his back. Under the blazing sun, the blood-red giant shark looked like a living Asura to countless people.

"Roar!"

The shadows cast downwards made it impossible for them to see Kou Zhong's face clearly. But when Kou Zhong raised Han Gaitian's head and let out a deafening roar, everyone—everyone who had been pointing swords at him just moments before—knelt down before him, trembling and wetting themselves!

At this moment, Kou Zhong has become a "king" in this chaotic world!

Power is so easily obtained!

The events involving the Hai Sha Gang could not be kept secret from other forces in Yuhang.

Especially the Giant Kun Gang, which she had been keeping a close eye on. Yun Yuzhen, who had finally escaped back to the headquarters, originally had the idea of ​​revenge, but when she learned about the fate of the Sea Sand Gang, the beautiful gang leader turned deathly pale.

She never imagined she would be so close to death.

Her Giant Kun Gang is so close to destruction!

But how could this be? How could such a monster exist! Thousands of his followers couldn't stop Kou Zhong, yet he was supposed to be just a small-time hoodlum in Yangzhou!

Yun Yuzhen couldn't understand it, but that didn't stop her from understanding the current situation in Yuhang.

No one can stop the Sand Gang now.

Or rather, no one could stop Kou Zhong from taking over the Hai Sha Gang.

His terrifying strength was enough to make him completely ignore the so-called demoralization and worthless popularity, and even if he needed those, he could just keep killing!

War is always the best way to divert internal conflicts, and as long as Kou Zhong annexes the Giant Kun Gang and the Sea Dragon Gang, then no conflict will remain a conflict.

They will quickly become a powerful force that dominates the entire Yuhang district!

They even have the potential to become a speck of dust in this chaotic world, a speck of dust capable of contending for supremacy!

Yun Yuzhen's groin tightened in fear, and she couldn't hold back her urination. But before she could figure out how to lick her groin, a "gift" was delivered the next morning.

It was Han Gaitian's bloodied and mangled head.

It was placed right in front of Yun Yuzhen's bed, just a head right in front of her.

After experiencing extreme fear, Yun Yuzhen calmly understood the true meaning of this "gift".

Kou Zhong utterly despised the power of the Sea Sand Gang. Even with the addition of the Giant Kun Gang, in Kou Zhong's eyes, they were still unworthy of being the foundation of his power.

His ambition was for a greater power; he wanted to seize a much larger force—the Hai Gang of Yuhang could become his force, but they were not worthy of becoming his "power".

Being so disrespected, Yun Yuzhen should have felt humiliated.

In this chaotic world, it is truly remarkable that such a beautiful woman could build such a foundation... But now, everything she has is regarded as meaningless trash.

But would anger do any good? Yun Yuzhen understood that what lay before her was probably her only chance to survive.

By handing Han Gaitian's head over to her, Kou Zhong was essentially handing over the Hai Sha Gang to her as well. He needed Yun Yuzhen to manage everything until the right opportunity arose, allowing her to become part of Kou Zhong's power.

This behavior can hardly be called wise or rational, but absolute terrifying power can make all irrationality seem reasonable.

Even though she was extremely unwilling, Yun Yuzhen had no choice but to submit to this man she had never met before.

Unless she could abandon everything and escape Yuhang, but is that possible for a woman who has spent half her life chasing power?

In chaotic times, without swords and power, you are nothing more than a fish to be slaughtered.

How insignificant integrity and hatred are in the face of the three words "survival".

Yun Yuzhen had no choice.

She respectfully threw Han Gaitian's head into the pond to feed the fish, then knelt down in the direction of the restaurant from yesterday and kowtowed three times.

From today onwards, there will be no more Giant Kun Gang and Sea Sand Gang—now, only Giant Shark Gang exists!

13. In charge of the Eastern Sea

Meanwhile, inside the restaurant...

Yesterday's massacre terrified the restaurant owner, who abandoned his business and fled overnight. Without the owner and chef, the restaurant was naturally uninhabitable.

After replenishing his supplies and finding out the way, Bai Wujie decided not to linger any longer.

"Since you aspire to conquer this land, why don't you stay?"

Bai Wujie looked at Kou Zhong, whose aura had drastically changed, and stroked his chin, asking with interest...

"Hey! Boss, you're joking. How could we possibly conquer the world by relying on those clueless clowns?" Kou Zhong chuckled, completely devoid of the madness he displayed during yesterday's carnage before Bai Wujie...

Kou Zhong's eyes still burned with ambition, but just as Yun Yuzhen had guessed, Kou Zhong was unwilling to stay for the sake of these few gangs in Yuhang!

If we're going to seize power, we must seize the truly powerful forces in the world!

Looking at the world, among all the so-called "righteous armies," Kou Zhong felt that the only force worthy of his starting point was the "Wagang Army."

In the past, Kou Zhong might have thought that leading such a large force would be extremely difficult... but now, he thinks it's damn easy!

Go to Wagang Village, kill Li Mi, the leader, spare Wang Bodang, Shan Xiongxin, and Xu Shiji who surrendered, and kill all those who resisted!

Is taking over Wagang Village really that difficult? Damn it, even conquering the world is that damn easy!!

Wei Zhenzhen and Xu Ziling were speechless and choked with emotion, and even Fu Junzhuo sighed deeply.

Kou Zhong was ultimately completely corrupted by Bai Wujie. He went from a normal Yangzhou hoodlum to a fucking lunatic!

Even... even their fashion sense has been completely distorted.

At this moment, Kou Zhong was wearing a close-fitting vest with the two sleeves torn off, black slim-fitting leather pants that he had just gotten from the tailor, and a blood-red cloak draped over his back.

He cut off most of his thick black hair, turning it into short hair, and his body size increased considerably.

Standing next to Bai Wujie, no one would doubt that these two are from the same place!

Bai Wujie glanced at Kou Zhong's attire, and suddenly a pale white chitin armor appeared on his body, along with a pair of long shoulder armor resembling dragon claws.

Although he didn't say a word, Xu Ziling could still sense that Bai Wujie seemed to dislike Kou Zhong's attire.

Could it be that he thinks this outfit looks great on him, but finds it ugly on others?

"Boss, don't be upset!" Kou Zhong chuckled and shook his head...

"Since you're leaving Yuhang, I think there's a ship that's perfect for taking you directly to Dongping County. And the person on that ship seems to be just what you're looking for, Boss!"

"Tell me about it," Bai Wujie said with great interest.

"The ship docked in Yuhang, named 'Piaoxiang,' belongs to the Dongming Faction. This Dongming Faction is a power skilled in manufacturing weapons and trading by sea. Of course, none of that matters; what's most important is their faction leader, Lady Dongming, Shan Meixian."

Kou Zhong winked and spoke of the secrets he had seen in the confidential documents of the Hai Sha Gang.

"It is said that Shan Meixian has a beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, and a face that could shame the moon and flowers. She would be perfectly suited to be your maid, Boss. But what you would definitely like even more, Boss, is Shan Meixian's own mother!"

"Shan Meixian's mother is none other than Zhu Yuyan, the Yin Queen, who is now the leading figure of the Demonic Sect and the head of the Yin Kui Sect, one of the two factions!"

Kou Zhong spoke smugly, and this was undoubtedly exactly what Bai Wujie was interested in.

"Oh? If that's the case, then I might have to make a special trip." Bai Wujie narrowed his eyes and chuckled with interest...

His main purpose in coming to this world was ultimately to perfect his foundational cultivation techniques; creating Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling for entertainment was merely a side effect.

In fact, Bai Wujie has indeed benefited greatly from studying the martial arts of this world.

Bai Wujie mastered the technique of integrating magnetic field and mental energy into his spirit and then unleashing it simply by deciphering Fu Junzhuo's Nine Profound Technique. Undoubtedly, there is still a long way to go in this direction of application!

Bai Wujie felt that the so-called "martial arts" might not be so simple after all...

After all, the unique "shattered void" mechanism of this world always made Bai Wujie feel an indescribable strangeness.

As for wasting time without gaining strength... he never worried about that problem.

Even if he regains his magnetic field power, he still doesn't need to go through any special training.

The mere rotation of his internal magnetic field was enough to allow him to slowly regain his former strength.

Moreover, it's not advisable to display too much power in this world, and suppression doesn't mean stagnation. In fact, this suppression can actually help Bai Wujie reach his full potential.

Even in a weak world, things can still arise that greatly benefit Bai Wujie.

He never ignored the world because of its perceived "weakness".

Pride and arrogance are two completely different things!

"Boss, I won't advise you against provoking the Demonic Sect or anything like that, but if you make a move... and it doesn't work, I'll take care of it."

Xu Ziling hesitated for a moment, but still said softly...

He seemed to gradually get used to his position, following Bai Wujie to the left and right. His role as a "guard" was less about protecting Bai Wujie and more about acting as a suppressor to prevent Bai Wujie from killing too many people!

Judging from Kou Zhong's appearance, he might end up doing similar work for him in the future...

Xu Ziling also felt very tired. There are indeed few things in this world that are so troublesome to be an assistant to a madman.

Bai Wujie was naturally very happy to slack off, and he smiled happily at Xu Ziling...

"Watching you do things so helplessly makes me quite happy... Since that's the case, if you can bring me what I want... then I'll teach you a trick that's very much in line with your nagging personality, how about that?"

"Sigh, I just wish you wouldn't go this crazy." Xu Ziling sighed.

"Hehehehehaha!"

Bai Wujie and Kou Zhong simultaneously let out a maniacal, gleeful laugh...

The docks outside Yuhang City, close to the vast sea, are bustling with countless ships and sails, and peddlers and laborers come and go in an endless stream.

The major events involving the Sea Sand Gang didn't seem to affect the port's bustling atmosphere... but for some well-informed people, the events involving the Sea Sand Gang were impossible to ignore.

Among these numerous ships, the most eye-catching was undoubtedly the colossal vessel "Dongming," which was several times larger than the others...

Possessing an exaggerated size that is incompatible with the productivity of this era and comparable to a modern cruise ship... the owner of this Dongming is someone that no one on this dock dares to mess with.

The Dongming Sect exists outside this chaotic world simply because their business is similar to that of the Pegasus Ranch—

Pegasus Ranch sells the finest horses, while they sell the finest weapons; war always requires both.

Even so, the Dongming faction still did not have enough troops.

Because they were merchants, and merchants who did business at sea.

Although merchants and pirates are basically synonymous at sea... have you ever seen a pirate group with tens of thousands or even more members?

At least not in this era. The Dongming Faction doesn't have enough troops, which is why the Haisha Gang dares to covet their relationship.

But now, that trouble has completely disappeared—

Because the Sea Sand Gang was destroyed by something ten thousand times more terrifying than them!

"Auntie, please think it over!"

Above the Dongming warship, in the spacious cabin that resembled a hall, a handsome and refined scholar, accompanied by several burly men, was advising a beautiful and mature woman before him…

"Although we don't know what happened to the Sea Sand Gang, this is undoubtedly our opportunity. Now is the time to replenish our manpower and resources and transfer them to Ryukyu to prepare for future developments, and also to keep track of the accounts..."

"Shang Ming, shut up!"

Her calm, authoritative words immediately silenced the young man named Shang Ming. The mature, beautiful woman looked at her future son-in-law and said softly…

"Do you think Yun Yuzhen was lying to us? Or do you think I, Shan Meixian, am a coward?"

"That's not what I meant..." Shang Ming's face flushed red as he struggled to find the right words, before finally speaking in a low voice...

"But for one person to storm the headquarters of the Sea Sand Gang and slaughter more than a thousand people... is just too horrifying! I think this might be Yun Yuzhen's way of taking advantage of the situation to annex the Sea Sand Gang and scare us away!"

"You have never seen a true master. Although Ryukyu is a beautiful and peaceful place, it has narrowed your horizons too much."

Shan Meixian let out a long sigh and said softly...

"I don't know the background of the person carrying Yang Gong's treasure trove and the Longevity Manual, but they are definitely not someone to be trifled with. The Hai Sha Gang is backed by the Yuwen Clan, but have you seen anyone from the Yuwen Clan show up yet?"

A wise businessman is not one who sees opportunities in crises, but one who can see the storms that can capsize their ship even in calm waters!

Dan Meixian saw the danger beneath the calm surface; a terrifying giant shark had already set its sights on them!

Although withdrawing from Yuhang now would mean incurring huge losses and having to break many deals, causing a significant drop in reputation... it's still better than the Dongming Sect being wiped out in one fell swoop...

"Let's not talk about that. How are things between you and Wanjing lately?"

When talking about his fiancée, Shang Ming's expression softened at first, but then became somewhat silent.

Seeing this, Shan Meixian felt a little upset. Her spoiled daughter had such a personality. Compared to Shang Ming's "down-to-earth" personality, she preferred those young heroes who roamed the martial arts world.
